The end of a disgraceful business was reached yesterday im South Caro lina when on motion of District At torney Melton the cases pending against citizens of that State charged with riolating the United States elec tion laws were stricken from the docket of the Federal Court. These prosecutions were instituted by At torney General Brewster who sent detectires down to work up the cases and followed them up with , certain Philadelphia lawyers to inTestijate and report. Inlictmenta were found on tke evidence furnished and a num ber of respectable and prominent Democrats in several counties in the State were arraigned before the Fed eral courts, but in every instance tried, there was a signal failure to convict. The untried cases were put off from time to time for the fast two years, but in all this time the parties aecased wore harrassed and put to much loss of time and money in at tending court only to be sent homo to come again. Previous to the spring term Judge Bond sent word that the cases would not be taken up this term, and jnow this is followed by striking all the cases from the docket, on motion of Mr. Melton, a confession that the government had no case, and just what ought to have been done at the first term of court when the eases came up. . ... t. i i -' J .

IN BOTH HOUSES. THE POSTOFFICE APPROPRIA- tTIOft BILL PASSES THE SENATE. Hr. White Gets on Stilts in the Iloase and Varies the Momotony ot Proceed iags Tbe Bill far the Relief of Sol diers Charged With Desertion Passed. WASHnraTOic, April 18. Seicate. The chair laid before the Senate a communication from W. W. Corco ran, Chairman of the Washington Monument Association, transmitting a resolution of the association re lating to the approaching completion of the monument and appropri ate ceremonies for the celebration thereof. Sherman, from the committee on Library, reported adversely the news paper copyright bill. It was, how ever, placed on the calendar; also, from the same committee, adversely, the joint resolution providing for the erection of a bronze equestrian statue to Simon Bolivar. It was indefinitely postponed. , . Bills were introduced and referred as follows : By Call, to provide for the repair of Fort Miriam, at St. Augustine, Fla., and the inclosureof the grounds attached thereto ; also, for the estab lishment of life saving stations on the Atlantic and Gulf coast, off Flori da, as follows : One at or near St. Augustine; one at the point between Jupiter Inlet and St. Augustine ; one at or near Key West, and one at the point between Charlotte Harbor and Pensacdla. The Senate laid aside the calendar and took up the postoffice appropri ation bill. After explanation by Plumb the consideration of the bill was proceeded with by' sections. On reaching the section relating to the compensation of railroad companies for transportation of mails, some de bate arose. At 3 o'clock the Senate concluded consideration ot the bill, and passed it without deviation from the amend ments proposed by the Senate com mittee on Appropriations, except to add $25,000 to the appropriation for river mail service. This was done after some remarks by Morgan, who made an earnest protest against the total absence of mail facilities on the Alabama river. After passing the postoffice appro priation bill, the chair laid before the Senate the unfinished business, being the bankruptcy bill But without entering upon its further consideration, the Senate went im mediately into executive session. At 4 o'clock the doors were re opened, and according to previous appointment the message from the House of Representatives announcing the death of Thomas H. Herndon, late member of that body from the State of Alabama, was taken up. Remarks in memoriam of the de ceased were delivered by Messrs. Morgan, Gibson, Jones, of Florida, and Pugh, at the conclusion of which, at 5 p. m., the Senate adjourned to Monday ntxt. House. On motion of McMillen, of Tennessee, the bill limiting to two years the time within which prosecu tions may be instituted against per sons charged with violating tho in ternal revenue laws was taken up White, of Kentucky, took advan tage of a brief debate on the bill to criticise the action of the Springer committee in stopping the investiga tion of charges against Gov. Murray, of Utah. The man under investiga tion had said he was not guilty and had called upon Justice Harlan and Speaker Carlisle to testify as to his good character. Thereupon the in vestigation had ceased, and not only that but the committee had proposed to investigate his (White's) charac ter. He reiterated his charges against Murray, the man whom Mrs. Hayes had had appointed as Governor of Utah. Miller, of Pennsylvania, called the gentleman to order for not address ing himself to the bill under consid eration, but the House decided that White might be permitted to pro ceed in order, and White continued to talk in the same strain when Mil ler again called him to order. The Speaker thought that the re marks of the gentleman were not relative to the bill. White said that the difference be tween the Speaker and himself was that while he had been endeavoring to defend the rights of the poorest people in nis state, tne speaker nad been endeavoring to get bills through Congress for the biggest whiskey monopolies in the State of Kentucky. Miller demanded that these words be taken down as unparliamentary. Speaker "The chair decides that the words shall not be taken down, and that no notice be taken of them. (Applause on both sides of the cham ber.) Miller thereupon withdrew his de mand, but insisted that the gentleman should proceed in order or not at all. Speaker "The chair will endeavor to enforce the rules of the House." Cameron, of Illinois, suggested that great latitude had been always permitted to members in speaking, and that their remarks were not con fined to the provisions of the special bill under consideration. -Tho Speaker replied that while of his own motion he would not inters fere with .the course df the gentle man's remarks, when the point was raised, by another member he was bound to decide the question in ac cordance with the rules. ' Miller said that the? did not raise the" point out of "any ill-feeling to wards the gentleman from Kentucky, but he did object to the tinre of the House being taken up in the senti ment of differences which a member of Congress might have with some other, person. V A member had the utmost liberty in debate and could not be called to account for bis utter ances, and that liberty ought not to be abused. The Hduse ought not to permit a member to ; abuse his privi lege and say anything derogatory to the character off any man. rWhite then proceeded in order and at the conclusion of his speech the bill was passed. The House, at 1 :45, went into committee of the Whole off the private calendar. The unfinished business coming oyer from last Friday was the bill to relieve certain soldiers of . the late war from the charge of deserting and after debate it was laid aside with a favorable recommendation. It re moves the charge of. deserting from the record of soldiers who served in volunteer service in all cases where itshould be made to appear to the satisfaction of the Secretary cf War that - such soldier served faithfully until the expiration of his term of his enlistment, or until the 1st Of May, 1865, but by reason of absence from their command at the time the same was mustered out failed to re cieve an honorable dischargesit also applies to cases in which it appears that soldiers charged with deserting subsequently enlisted in another regi taent And were honorably discharged.

Catawba. Our delay in sending the above has manifested one thing, and that is that the office is certainly seeking "Samuel," of your city, for before we could have the honor of suggesting his name some one else has made the suggestion. Let it be so ; let us put Samuel on the ticket. He is a true Democrat, and ougbfe to have rest from his mammoth business. Give us the above ticket, with The Obser ver platform on the tariff and reve nue, and we will succeed. . Catawba. HOHOR1FIU PHILLIPS. A Large and Distinguished Attendance at the Memorial Services.

They are i The Weath For the remaining few days of lovely March cannot be depended upon to please all persons. The streets of town will be dustv, the dirt will be made to circulate" freelv by reason of some more March wind. However, if this dust becomes unbearable the citizens will find three feet of mud just outside the city limits. And the weather for April will not be of such a style as to remedy the dust, or dry up the mud. However, we will sav that when it does rain, your roof will leak, if it leaked before, and when it does not rain this leak can be stopped with Mott's Compound Fire and Water-Proof Mineral Paint, and when this is applied will not only stop all leaks, but arrest further decay, and at same time renders the roof fire proof. The dry season to follow this wet spell will certainly cause rapid decay, and the roof will then be in perfect condition to catch fire from sparks, etc. We will protect you at reasonable rates.
