THE DAILY TIMES. JOHN ■. MARTIN, - - - K4itor. Columltun, Of*.. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11. 1876. L!_ li—Hl! '.IJJMBL. ' -l"" LARGEST CIRCULATION la the CmttH M|uat to nnd Trndlu, at Cslatabaf. (IEOKU CONCRENMMBN. Sufficient return* from the contested district* h*ve now been received to de termine the result in each. The entire delegation to Congress is Democratic, though one member elect ran as an Inde pendent They *re— -Ist District—Julian Hartridge. Sd “ Wm. E. Smith. 8d Phil Cork. 4th H. R Harris. slh “ M. A.

Probably the closest contest in the State was in the 7th District, where Fel ton’s majority over Dabney is estimated at about 1,500. ALABAMA. The Democrats of Alabama have elected the full Congressional dele gation from the State, viz: Jones in the Ist District; Herbert in the 2d ; Williams in the* 3d; Shelly in the 4th; Ligon in the sth; Hewitt in the 6th; Forney in the 7th; and Garth in the Bth. It Is possible that Brom berg, independent Democrat, is elect ed instead of Jones in the Ist Dis trict, but the returns leave no doubt that the Radical candidate is beaten. In the 4th District, Shelly, Demo crat, goes in between a division in the Radical ranks, the party in the district being nearly equally divided between Haralson and Rapier, color ed Radicals, one for Spencer and one anti-Spencer. no UR "BKHonH. We mako below an extract from the general presentments of the grand jury of Sumtercounty. The sug gestions made we heartily approve. They correspond with views which we have heretofore expressed. He has been a very unobservant man who has not perceived that the “wild hunt for office” is one of .the great evils of the times ; that it is demoral ising in holding out delusive hopes of an easy position without hard work, and corrupting by the means employ ed to secure such positions. The best and surest remedy for this evil, in our judgment, is to render such positions less desirable, which can be effected by reducing their emolu ments to what could be made by the same amount of work in private bus iness. This would also effect a saving of expense to the peo ple generally—no unimportant con sideration in times like these, There is no danger whatever that such re ductions of salaries aud fees would deprive the country of the services of competent men. 80 long as we see half a dozen or more men aspiring to every office, we may rest easy on that, score. The truth is, that the scram ble which now arises and the unfair or corrupt means used to secure nom inations or elections, often deter the best men from becoming candidates. Check this scramble and stop the use of such means, by reducing sala ries, and the better men will stand a better chance. The following la the extract to which we refer: This grand jury Is in favor of "Re form,” and we consider it very neces sary that reform should be inugura ted in a reduction of extravagant sal aries of our public servants in this State. We, as tax-payers, are so im poverished that if our burdens are not lightened we shall soon become too poor to rear and educate our children, and instead of the govern ment being one of the prople, by the l>eople and for the people, it will be come one in which the people will be for the government. The salaries of every official of this State, with but few exceptions, should be re duced at least 25 per cent. The pre text some years ago for raising the salaries was the depreciated curren cy, in which they were then paid, but that pretext no longer exists. If $3,000 six years ago was a good sala ry, $2,000 now would buy as much of almost anything as $3,000 would have bought then. High salaries, even if the tax payers were able to pay them, do not. in our judgment, promote the public good, but is a bad example, tending to demoralize the people, and corrupt the simplici ty of the government. There has been more official corruption since the inauguration of high salaries than ever before in our history. Nor have higher salaries produced any higher order of talents for the public service, but has stimulated, wo fear, a more eager and unscrupulous seek ing of office. Not only do we recom mend a reduction of salaries, but a reduction of the number of the offi cials also. We think the State could be well served with fewer judicial cir cuits, and every office and establish ment, whether medical boards, or what not, that are not absolutely es sential to the safety and proper gov ernment of the State, should be abol ished. To these things we desire to call the attention of the whore Legis lature, as well as the attention of our impoverished fellow-citizens. Hospitality In Texas. In no city in the United States is the travel-stained, weary traveler ta ken as good care of as he is in a San- Antonio hotel. The manners and cus toms of the guest are carefully stud ied. A young man from the frontier, stopping at one of our hotels, told the Clerk, the other evening, that he was going to be out late. “Just wait a minute,” replied the accommoda ting clerk, and he rushed off, but soon appeared with a large envelope, which he placed in the guest’s breast pocket with the remark: That is a bond for your appearance before the recorder, properly signed. As soon as you are arrested for being drunk and disorderly, just give the bond to the policeman, mentioning my name to him, and he will bring you home in a hack. Good night! God bless you. ■ The Territories. Salt Lake, Nov. 8.-Maginnls. Democrat, is elected Delegate from Montana. Utah—Cannon, Mormon, is elected Delegate over Baskin, Liberal, by probably over 20,000 majority. Cheyenne, Wy., Nov. B.—The latest returns give Corlln, Republican, for Delegate, 1,000 majority. TIIK ARBITRAMENT OF THE HWOBD. The pbaso of this Presidential con test, for whioh we have for some time been preparing our readers, is now plainly revealing Itself. The military orders of Gen. Grant, given In our telegraphic dispatches, and the hasty movement of troops to Tal lahassee and Now Orleans, hardly need explanation. We of the South ern States know full well by past ex perience that it is Intended to sustain Radioal State officials in some pro gressing or contemplated knavery, and on this occasion it can only be to protect them from the just indigna tion of the people when they falsely and treasonably “count” the votes of their States for the Hayes Elect ors. Thus the doubt and anxiety about the votes of Louisiana, Flori da and South Carolina, that has so much interested our people for tho last three days, is to be solved. The sword of Brennus Is thrown into the scale as soon as it is perceived that Rome is making up her ransom. The votes of these three States will be so manipulated by their returning boards and canvassing State officials as to give them all to Hayes, not withstanding the votes of a majority of their people for Tiiden. Had it been necessary thus to change the votes of as many more Southern States, and had they Radical Govern ors willing to engage in the work, troops would havo been sent to them too. . Tho programme will be this: The Radical Governors of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina will “proclaim” the election of the Hayes Electors, and those Electors will meet, cast their votes and send them to Washington. The Tiiden Electors will also no doubt meet, makeup their votes, and send them to Washington. These votes of tho Electors do not havo to pass through the hands of the Governors —the Electors send them by their own messengers. But the proclamations or certificates of the Governors will be re garded as conclusive as to who were the regularly chosen Electors and authorized to send votes for President. At all events, it is part of the programme that the Pres ident of the Senate shall so decide, and he will do the bidding of his party. The Senate may be expected to sustain him. But what of the Democratic House? How can the House prevent this great infrac tion of the Constitution and outrage upon the rights of the people? Can it stop the count when Florida or Louisiana is an nounced for Hayes, and proceed to elect a President as provided for by the Con stitution in the event of a failure of the people to elect? Or can it enforce a proper count of the votes of these States? If it should resort to either of these remedies, and the Senate, supported by tho President, de clares Hayes elected, is not this a conflict that force alone must settle? ..The situa tion promises to be a most critical and dangerous one—the choice between civil war and tame submission to flagitious outrage and wrong, a hard one. We be lieve that the timely exhibition of deter mined resistance by the Democrats nnd Conservatives of the North to this revolu tionary course of tho Radical Southern Governors, backed by the Federal Admin istration, will avert the danger; otherwise the outrage evidently contemplated will be consummated, and republican govern ment and popular freedom will die in its hundredth year. THE MAN IN THE BBOWN WIG. He was a curious looking old fellow as he sat on a bench in Washington square, chewing a straw with all the dignity and grace of an after-dinner lounger in front of the Fifth avenue. His eyes protruded, his forehead retreated, his cars expanded, lie wore a comical little wig of reddish brown color, from beneath which strag gled locks of a dingy white. Occasionally he would smite his thigh with great vigor and fall to chuckling as tliongh some brilliant idea had tickled his fancy vastly. A reporter sauntered carelessly along and took a scat beside the old gentleman, and as he did so, offered him a cigar. “No,” said the stranger, "I never smoke. One cigar a minute at 25 cents apiece would amount in seventy-live years to—to —to a considerable sum. The man who smokes is not up to suuff,” aud he smote his thigh and chuckled. “Ah," sid the reporter, “I see you are provident.” “Yes, yes; I’m provident, and remember what I tell you now, young man. Always have your toast out when it rains quails.” “Your words are just,” said the report er, "and I think one would not go far wrong to trust you.” “Ha, ha, ha! ho, Uo, ho! what a ver dant boy;” then turning alarmingly sol emn he |added, “Trust Providence, but do a cash business with frail mortals.” “Your comparison “My comparison!” yelled the old gen tleman: “I’ll teach you to talk about my comparison. What do you know about it? you never heard it. I’ll tell it to you. It’s the best comparison ever made; it’s the apothesis of comparison. Here you are: A Cent is positive, a Centre is com paiative, but a Bull’s Eye is superlative.” “Indeed, that is a good comparison,” said the reporter, soothingly; “let’s go and have a game of billiards. “A cue in the hand is better than ague in the body," answered the old gentleman as he arose stiffly from the bench. “That’s a fine mare," remarked the reporter as a gentleman drove by on University place. The effect was terrible. The old gentle man wrenched away his arm and began to dance a weird pas seul around the curbstone. Then he tore off his wig and shook it in the air; then he stopped and said, “A Green Mayor is not so good as a bay horse.” “Proverbial old man,” said the report er solemnly, "who in the d—ickens are you?” “Ho, ho, ho, ho!” chuckled the old gen tleman, "don’t you know me? I’m Mar tin F. Tapper, esquire, and I’ll stab you to death with a proyerb —•I’ll knock your brains out with an apothegm—l’ll stran gle you with a platitude—J’ll- What further threats he might have made will never be known, for a bullet-headed man, who had been gradually stealing up _on him, seized him by the shoulder and in a second clapped a pair of irons on his wrists. ‘‘None o’ this, Mr. Jones” said he harshly. ‘‘Come along. A pretty chase you’ve given me. You’ll get the strait jacket when 1 get you back to Blooming dale.” That waß all. The people of the New Hebrides shave with the teeth of the shark, an oyster shell, or a piece of bot tle glass, and perform the operation with the skill of accomplished bar ber.
