democratic body in which Till-

Tho Basis of Agreement.
We cordially welcome other aid and
invite the co-operation of all who favor
a. combination of the wisdom ap,d pa¬
triotism of the state, regardless of fac¬
tions, in the task of reconstructing
our organic laws. In common with all
patriotic people of the state, we lament
that the democratic party of the state,
so long united and invincible, has
been torn asunder by strife and its
unity endangered by the bitterness of
factional spirit. The causes which have
led to these unhappy results need not
now be considered,and should not now
be discussed. In view of the coming
constitutional convention,in order that
the honor of the state may be preserv¬
ed and the welfare of the people pro¬
tected and promoted, it is of vital lm- '
portance that factional lines bo ignor¬
ed, if not obliterated in the selection
of delegates to the convention. Thus
and thus only can the new constitution
become the bond and seal of union
among the people of South Carolina.
Therefore, we recommend:
1. That in the election of delegates
to the constitutional convention, only'
men of prudence and patriotism be
chosen; and that they be divided
equally between tho factions aB here¬
tofore existing as far as practicable;
when equal division is impossib!e,that
such fair division be mado as will best
subserve the great purpose of sec wring
white unity and a non-partisan consti¬
tution.
2. That we are unalterably and irre¬
vocably pledged to the supremacy cf
Anglo-Saxon civilization in every part
and department of our government to
be secured by fair and constitutional
methods. But thi3 can only be ac¬
complished by the unity of our peo¬
ple. We unbounded faith in
3, have the
people, and confidently trust them to
select delegates to the constitutional
convention to represent their opinions
with an eye single to their fitness for
the great work that will confront them.
With a convention so chosen, the peo¬
ple will be satisfied with the constitu¬
tion it Will adopt.
4. To put tiie objects of this confer¬
ence into practical effect and to pro¬
mote the accomplishment thereof, we
recommend tho appointment of a state
working committee to be composed of
two from each county—one from each
faction—whose duty it shall be forth¬
with to prepare and promulgate a plan
of organization of all democrats in the
state who are in sympathy with the
objects and purposes herein declared,
and that this committee work in con¬
junction with all other committees
having the same objects in view, being
always subordinate to the state demo¬
cratic executive committee.
Respectfully submitted,
,T. Townes Robektbon.
Delegate Appels opposed the recom¬
mendation for an equal division in the
constitutional convention, hut after
speeches from George Jonatone, Mur¬
phy and Burn, his amendment to insti¬
tute “equitable” for “equal” was over¬
whelmingly defeated.
The debate of the night was caused
by the objection of Rev. J. A. Sligb,
of Newberry, to the appointment of a

that formation to appoint of another party would antagonistic bo the j

far as to intimate that ho would leave
the convention rather than be a party
to such action.’ Senator Finley re¬
sented the insinuation that any attack

phy, Thomas, of Charleston, and
others, the burden of which was uu-

that the committee was simply to co-
operato with the state executive com-
mittee. At 11:10 p. m. a collection
was tain n up and tho convention ad-
journed. Altogether it was a.sweetly
peaceful body and a tremendous sue-
cess from that point of view. The

COMMISSI ONE R FINLEY
The New Head of (he Southern States
Passenger Association.
William Wilson Finley is tho name
of the new commissioner of the South¬
ern States Passenger Association. His
name was reported to the meeting of
railroad men, held in Atlanta Wednes¬
day for the purpose of formally organ¬
izing the passenger association, by the
special committee appointed at the
last mass meeting to nominate officers
and the nomination was concurred in
by the entire membership of the new
association that was formed.
The Southern States Passenger As¬
sociation will begin operations on
April 15th, and on that day the old
Southern Passenger Association will
die. Mr. Finley will take charge of
the affairs of the office to which he has
been elected that day, and it is be¬
lieved the new association will start
off under most favorable auspices.
It is true that up to date there have
been only about a dozen lines to sign
tho articles of agreement, but the
hope is freely enjoyed by all tho roads
in the new organization that more of
the roads will come in later.
The other officers of the new asso-
ciation were also elected. Tho audit¬
ing committee consists of Air. Charley
Harman, general passenger agent of
the Western and Atlantic railway; Air.
J. C. Haile, genera! passenger agent
of the Centra), and Air. Joseph Rich¬
ardson, general passenger agent of the
Jacksonville, St. Augustine and In¬
dian River railway. Air. Harry Wal¬
ters, who has served with signal abil¬
ity as chairman of the repeated mass
meetings that have worked up the re¬
organization of the new association,
was chosen president of the Southern
States Passenger association.
OFFICERS MET THEM
And Two of a Gang of Would-be Train
Robbers Killed.
One of the most daring, and at the
same time most unsuccessful attempts
at train robbery, occurred at 2:30 a.
m. Wednesday in the southern portion
of Kentucky, when six men undertook
to rob the southbound No. 3 Queen
and Oresent train, which left Cincin¬
nati at 8 p. in. Tuesday night.
One of the six was killed outright,
another died within two hours, and a
third, giving the name of Miller, now
lies severely wounded, and the others
have not yet been heard from. The
traiu was delayed not more than ten
minutes and reached Chattanooga on
time.
The reason for this summary dis¬
posal of a body of train robbers is
found in the fact that some intimation
of their purpose had been given to
the railroad or express authorities,
and that Mr. T. R. Griffin, who serves
as a superintendent of police on the
Southern road, had with him two
trusty assistants.
The train had just reached the south
end of tunnel No. 9, which is one mile
north of Greenwood, when the robbers
signalled it to stop. They had scarce-
ly disclosed their purpose until Mr.
Griffin and his assistants on the train
began offensive operations and in ten
minutes three of the robbers had bit-
ten tho dust, the other three had
flown, and the train was speeding on
its way. Not a single injury was suf-
fered by any one on tho train.
IRON MEN IN CONFERENCE.
Committees Appointed to Consider
Wages, Discount Rates, Etc.
A number of leading bar iron manu¬
facturers from Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and other states were in con¬
ference at Cleveland, O., Wednesday,
to consider wages, discount rates and
other questions of interest to the
trade. A committee of five was ap¬
pointed to formulate plans bearing
upon these subjects after which the
conference adjourned pending the re¬
port of the committee.

BISMARCK SNUBBED
THE GERMAN REICHSTAG RE¬
FUSES TO HONOR HIM.
Tho President of tho Body Resigns
Amidst Much Excitement.
The lower house of the German
landtag, by a large majority, decided
Saturday to congratulate Prince Bis-
marck on the occasion of his eightieth
birthday. The centrists, the volks-
patrel, the Freisinmge and the Polish
members opposed the resolution,
The reichstag Saturday rejected qfternoon, the
by a vote of 1G3 to 148,
proposal of Herr von Levetzow, pres-
ident of that body, that the reichstag
charge him with the duty of offering
the congratulations of the chamber to
Prince Bismark upon the occasion of
the When ex-chancellor’s eightieth birthday,
the result of the vote was an-
nounced President von Levetzow im¬
mediately resigned.
In the course of the debate on Pres¬
ident von Levetzow’s proposal, Baron
von Hompeseb, centrist, said that the
matter of congratulation concerned
Prince Bismarck’s political personali¬
ty and was a political act. Prince
Bismarck, he said, was still continu¬
ous in his endeavors to influence po¬
litical matters. The centrist could
not consent to the reichstag’s officially
congratulating him.
Dr. von Bennigsen, national liberal,
warmly approved the proposal of Pres¬
ident von Levetzow.
Herr Richter, radical, said that he
recognized Prince Bismarck’s national
fame, but the progressists would fight
his tendencies towards influencing the
interior polioy. They see in him an
enemy of liberalism, who influences
state affairs; therefore, it would be
impossible for them to consent to the
proposal. socialist, that
Herr Singer, said
Prince Bismark’s policy had severely
damaged the German laborers. He
had always persecuted his adversaries
to the utmost extent and ho cannot
now claim their thanks or recognition.
Herr von Kardoff,free conservative,
said: 1 ‘If the reichstag refuses to
adopt this proposal, it will make itself
ridicnlous before the whole world for¬
Herr Rickert, radical unionist, de¬
clared that the freisinnige party would
almost unanimously support Herr von
Levetzow’s proposal. Baron von Hod-
enburg, independent said: “The
Guelphs cannot congratulate Prince
Bismark, who made the kingdom of
Hanover a Prussian province."
Baron von Knyphausen, conserva¬
tive, declared that there was a large
majority in Hanover who would not
understand the refusal of the reichstag
to congratulate the ex-chancellor.
Prince Radzi will, Pole, said the Poles
would regard the proposed congratu¬
lations as eminently a political demon¬
stration. Prince Bismark, he declared,
had violated old Polish rights and,
therefore, the Poles would not support
the resolution.
Herr Sonnenbery, anti-semite, said
the anti-semites would fulfill their du¬
ty of gratitude to Prince Bismark and
join in the proposed congratulations.
Emperor William Indignant.
When Emperor William was ap¬
prised of the rejection by the reich¬
stag of President von Levetzow’s pro¬
posal that the reichstag vest in him
(Levetzow) the duty of congratulating
Prince Bismarck on the occasion of his
eightieth birthday, he wired to the ex¬
chancellor at Friedrichsrnhe the fol¬
lowing dispatch:
“I have to convey to yonr serene
highness tho expression of my most
profound indignation at the resolution
which the reichstag has just adopted.
It is in most complete opposition __ to
the feelings of all the German princes
and people. “William.”
A11 the evening papers got out extra
editions to announce the reichstag’s
Jecision. The Nenste Nachrichten,
Bismarckian, said:
The S rand duke of saw the
reichstag, twenty-five years after the
creation of the empire, take this most
shameful step. The best answer to
action -would be an immediate
dissolution. The nation can help the
government win battles at home as
well as abroad. ”
Bismarck to William.
Prince Bismarck, in answer to the
emperor’s message, sent the following
telegram: March 23.—I
"FKiEDBicHSBtratB,
pray your majesty to accept my re¬
spectful expression of my gratitude
for your most graoious message, where¬
by your majesty has transformed an
unfriendly aotion of my political op¬
ponents, concerning which I am not
yet fully informed, into a source of
joyful satisfaction to me.
“Bismarck.”
Dr. Bnerkliu, vice-president of the
reichstag, was in Montreux, Switzer¬
land, when apprised of the resignation
of Herr von Letvetzow as president learned of
the reichstag, and when he
the cause he at once telegraphed bin
resignation also.

EMPEROR AND PRINCE.
K/.isor AVI liain Proposes a Cheer for
Bismarck.
Emperor William paid his promised
birthday visit to Prince Bismarck
Tuesday. The emperor alighted from Ac-
his special train at Anmuehle.
companied by his staff, he rode from
Anmuehle to the Schwarsenbeck cross¬
roads, where he met a squadron of the
Halberstadt, Bismarck Cuirassiers and
other troops. Placing himself at the
head of the troops, the emperor led
the way to Friedriohsruhe, where he
was met by Prince Bismarck. Tho
ex-chancellor drove in an open carriage
to the ground where tho troops were
stationed. He wore a helmet and the
uni orm ol Halberstadt.
soldiers formed a half moon in an
open field. The rain fell heavily, but
the kaiser sat upon his horse and
Prince Bismarck stood by the side of
his carriage within the curve of the
military crescont. The emperor salu¬
ted Prince Bismarck and addressed
him as follows:
“Your serene highness, our entire
fatherland is prepared to celebrate
«•
sembled are a symbol of the entire
army. Each field standard is repre¬
sented, and I recognize that behind
these troops is the militia, comprising
all the German people united. This
is the field standard of the elector of
Brandenburg, a field of success, j
could not find a better present fotr you
than a sword, a symbol of the instru¬
ment which you helped my grandfather
to forge, sharpen and wield. It is tho
symbol of an historic time, of “blood
and iron.” It is that moans which
never fails in the hands of kings and
puinces, also against home foes, and
as has been tested, against foreign en¬
emies. In memory of that memorable
time you will recognize the arms of
Alsace-Lorraine, which form the end
of a chapter of history of twenty-five
years. With that remembrance I call
upon the soldiers to present arms.
Prince hurrah!”
As the troops presented arms, the
bands played, the soldiers shouted and
Prince Bismarck cried. Recovering
his composure, the ex-chancellor said:
“I am unable to thank your majesty
for this unparalleled honor.”
He then kissed the kaiser’s hand and
his majesty urged him to mount his
carriage, which Prince Bismarck did
only when the crown prince had first
entered the vehicle and taken a seat to
the right. Then the ex-chancellor,
escorted by theemperor, drove in front
of the troops, and, after the rounds
had been made, the troops filed past
Prince Bismarck, the emperor person¬
ally leading Bismarck’s Cuirassiers.
RAILROADS IN COURT.
Battle Between the Seaboard Air-
Line and W. & A,
The battle royal between the rail¬
roads began in Fulton county superior
court at Atlanta Saturday before
Judge J. H. Lumpkin. The Seaboard
Air-Line laid down its case in a force¬
ful speech made by Mr. Jack J. Spald¬
ing. And the.Western and Atlantic re¬
plied with one of the elearost and
ablest speeches of its kind ever heard
in the courthouses of Atlanta. It was
in the defense of the Western and At¬
lantic and the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis for withdrawing the
prorating privileges from the Sea¬
board Air-Line, and was delivered by
Judge Ed Baxter, of Nashville. After
these two speeches, which consumed
most all of the day at the county court¬
house, the hearing was postponed un¬
til Monday.
On Monday the arguments were
finished and the case is now in the
hands of Judge Lumpkin, who will
have a whole week of tedious toil
studying out the carload of’ documen¬
tary evidence submitted.
EVIDENCE DESTROYED.
Papers Concerning Mrs. Surratt’s Ex¬
ecution Burned Up.
A Chicago paper prints the follow¬
ing : ‘ ’Fire has just destroyed the last
shred of documentary evidence that, it
is alleged, would have removed the
stain of the charge of conspiracy to
assassinate Abraham Lincoln from the
name of Msry E. Surratt. This wo¬
man, who suffered death on the charge
preferred against her, had for her
counsel Colonel John W. Clampitt, of
Highland Park, in whose possession
was evidence that bethinks would have
restored her good name and shown
that in the passion of the time an in¬
nocent person had been sacrificed.
For thirty years Colonel Clampitt
has been collecting data and evidence
and had it so complete, he believed,
that none could doubt it. It was
ready for publication, and then came
the fire which destroyed his residence
and all the evidence accumulated since
that day, thirty years ago, when he
strove to save the woman from the gal¬
lows.

Anent the Monetary Conference,
There is little likelihood, consider¬
ing the attitude of England and the
administration in this country, of a
bimetallic conference. The subjeot
was taken up at the cabinet meeting
Tuesday, and while little was given
out enough was made public through
official sources to glean the fact that
Mr. Cleveland denies to himself the
power to appoint delegates under the
Wolcott resolution, or to commission
those named by the house and senate.
The language of the resolution is that
nine delegates shall be appointed
whenever thore is an iuternatiLna!
conference “called with a view to se¬
cure international fixity of the rela¬
tive value between gold and silver,”
etc. Mr. Cleveland claims that Eng¬
land disavowed her intention of going
into any conference looking to thd
coinage of silver, and that such a con¬
ference, therefore, cannot have for its
primary object the fixity of the rela¬
tive value of gold and silver.
The Court Divided.
Considerable anxiety was felt Mon¬
day at the treasury department ovet
the income tax case. The court, how¬
ever, did not hand down a decision, aside for
and as Mondays alone are set in this
decisions, there will be none
case until next Monday at the earliest.
In the meantime Secretary Carlisle is
on the anxious bench. He says very
openly that should the court decide
the tax to be unconstitutional an extra
session will be necessary to raise suffi¬
cient revenue for the expenses of the
government. If, otherwise, he claims
the revenues will be amply sufficient
for all the needs of the government
during the fiscal year. At the same
time he is very much perturbed and as
far as he can urges haste so as to know
what to expect.
There seems to be no doubt that the
court is divided on the question, and
there was one report that it was equal¬
ly divided, which would bo impossible,
as Justice JaoYson, who is ill, did not
sit in the case. As the deliberations
of the court are secret, it is very sel¬
dom that an intimation is had as to
the way in which a case is to be de¬
cided. In such an important case as
this extraordinary precautions are
taken to prevent the decision from
getting out. Treasury officials who
are vitally interested in the decisions
of the court, while not professing to
have any positive information on the
subject, assert that it is practically the
certain that the court will sustain
law.
FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE.
Democrats of Michigan for the Res¬
toration of Silver.
The Michigan democratic state con¬
vention met at Saginaw Thursday and
unanimously renominated Justiee Mc¬
Grath for justice of tho supreme court
and nominated for regents of the uni¬
versity 0. J. Pailthorp, of Petoskey,
and Stratton D. Brooks, of Mount
Pleasant. The platform is as follows:
“Tho democratic party in conven¬
tion assembled hails with delight the
rapidly increasing sentiment in favor
of the restoration of silver to the posi¬
tion it so long held in the monetary
system of our oouutry and unqualfied-
ly declare in favor of the free and un¬
limited ooinage of silver and gold with
full legal tender power and a ratio of
16 to 1 and we invite every patriotic
citizen of Michigan, regardless of
vious party affiliations, to join us in
an imperative demand for immediate
legislation to that end regardless of
the position of any otney nation with
respect thereto."
