REGISTRATION LAWS
ARGUMENT IN THE SOI Til CAR
OLINA CASE HEARD
YESTERDAY.
BEFORE CHIEMUSTICE FULLER.
Judges Hughes and Seymour Also Sat
With the Chief Justice—Three Days
Given Each Side in Which to File
Briefs— -Attorney General Charged
That the Case is a Political One and
Called Attention to the Fact That
the Petitioner is Colored.
Richmond, Va., June 7.—Argument in
the South Carolina registration case was
begun in the U. 8. Circuit Court of ap
peals before Chief Justice Fuller, Judges
Hughes and Seymour to day.
Attorney General Barber opened for
the State of South Carolina. The trend
of his opening remarks was that the Fed
eral Courts had no jurisdiction in the
premises. He said it was set forth by
Goff that the petitioner was a colored
man, and, therefore, the refusal of the
laws of South Carolina to permit him to
vote was in violation of the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution. Mr.
Barber called the attention of the court
to the fact that nowhere in the records
did this fact—that the petitioner was
colored—appear, though it was com
mented upon by attorneys in the lower
court, and very prominently brought to
the attention of Judge Goff when he
granted the injunction.
The Attorney General stated that, iu
stead of providing for a discrimination
against any voter, the law set forth that
any male citizen regardless of race, color
or condition who had resided in the
State for one year was entitled to vote.
It was not the law, he said, that caused
Jndge Goff to hold that voters were
being denied their privilege, but it was
the abuse of the law by people ostensibly
working under it. He contended that the
law should rot be held responsible for
derelictions of election officers.
Mr. Douglasa-made the opening speech
for the petitioner. He prefaced his ar
gument with the statement that though
he and bis associate, Mr. Obear, ap
peared in opposition to the cause of
the State they were in a sense against the
State (except that they were endeavoring
to bring about right) In ad
dressing himself to the question of
the jurisdiction of the U. S. Court
he said if a wrong was committed
and the effect of that wrong was to de
franchise a voter, and thereby imperil
the Federal elections, he contended
that a Federal court unquestionably had
jurisdiction. The law, he said, was in
violation of section 1, article 14 of the
Constitution of the United States. The
State denies a voter of bis liberty when
it takes away his vote and therefore, the
court had jurisdiction to enjoin against
further infractions of the Constitution
of the United States.
In conclusion, he submitted that tl e
law was in violation of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, and in
substantiation of that statement called
attention to the certificate feature of the
law, and said that it was almost impossi
ble for the illiterate voter to differentiate
his registration from his tax receipt or
any otner official paper he might pos
seas. He asked the court the direct
question, “What class is the law directed
against, the whites or the negroes ?”
Chief Jastice Fuller replied that it
might have been directed against either.
Mr. Douglass continuing directly at
tacked the law and argued that it was
enacted simply for the purpose of dis
franchizing the negro vote.
Mr. Douglass was followed by Mr.
O Tear, his associate, whose argument was
largely of a legal nature. He held that
the court had jurisdiction to hear and
act in the case, and then occupied some
time iu the citation of various authori
ties and cases bearing upon the matter
at issue.
General Edward McCrady made tl e
closing speech for the State. He
his argument by making a careful ex
planation of the registration laws, aud
showing that the circumstances which
existed when they were enacted justified
their passage. He compared them to
various other registration laws, and
argued that they weie not more unjust
or discriminating that the laws of other
States, which had at various times been
declared constitutional and thus, though
the laws had been in existence since
1876, their constitutionality bad never
been questioned till 1895.
He said if they had been as unjust as
they were charged to be, they would not
have been allowed to have remained so
long unquestioned. He claimed that the
whole case was a political one, and that
Mills was only a figure head, and the
speaker did not know to day, so far as
the record went, whether Mills was white
or colored.
Gen. McCrady closed his very brief
argument by saying he thought the court
was in full possession of all the facte,
and thai it would be unnecessary for
him to ask the attention of the court
further.
The ch es justice asked if it were de
sired by counsel to submit written briefs
but none were forthcoming. Three
ays were given each side in which to
band in cases to substantiate their peti
tions. The court adjourned till Mouday

A General Bedouin Revolt.
Biddah, June 7.— lt is thought pro

owing to the beginning of the pilgrimage
season and the fanatical hostility of
Bedouin to Giaoutit.
THE LIE WAS PASSED.
Two Lawyers Insult and Abuse One
Another iu Court.
New York, June 7. —The libel suit
brought by Geo. W. Cornish against W.
Ed. Stokes to recover $20,000 damages
nearly ended in a fight between John S.
Wise, Jr., and lawyer A. R. Bjardman
this afternoon.
Wise, who is a son of Ex Governor
John S. Wise of Virginia, and has served
in Congress from the Richmond district,
called Boardman a liar, cursed and
blackguarded and threatened to slap his
face. A fight was only prevented by
friends of each lawyer iuterferring.
The case had been oi. trial for two
days before Chief Justice Daily in the
Court of Common Pleas, and on several
occasions sharp retorts were exchanged
between Mr. Boardman,representing Mr.
Stokes, and Mr. Wise, who appeared for
Cornish.
During some testimony concerning the
litigation between W. Ed Stokes and
Edward Stokes, Mr. Boardman re
marked : “That is not true.”
“You are a liar and a blackguard,”
retorted Mr. Wise.
“You lie,” exclaimed Mr. Board
man.
Mr. Wise made a move toward Mr.
Boardman with uplifted arms, when
Judge Daily vigorously rapped his gavel.
There was a minute’s silence, and the law
yers glared at each other.
Mr. Boardman, addressing the court,
said : “I apologize for anything I have
said.” Mr. Wise bowed to the court but
said nothing, and continued his argu
ment.
Subsequently J udge Daily charged
the jury, which retired, with orders to
bring in a sealed verdict. Mr. Boardman
then walked out of court, and was talk
ing in the corriaor with some friends
when Mr. Wise rushed up to him. Mr.
Boardman said to him before he could
speak: “You did not mean what you
said when you called me a liar and
blackguard ?”
“Yes, I did,” said Mr. Wise, “aud I
repeat what I said. lam not afraid of
you.”
“You are excited,” said Broad man
with great coolness.
“You are a coward, a cur and a black
guard,” fairly screamed Wise; not once,
but several times.
“Shut up,” said Broalman.
“I wont, you sneaking coward,” was
tne answer of Wise “I will slap your
mouth.”
“No you won't,” said Broad man, draw
ing himself np to his foil height of six
feet two and looking down upon Wise,
who is not over five feet five aud about
as broad as he is tall.
Up to this time Mr. Boardman had
controlled himself far better than Wise
and had evidently tried to avoid enter
taining the large crowd present who
doubtless expected a prize fight. Final
ly Boardman said: “If you want to sb>p
my face come outeide.”
Wise replied: “Yes I will slap your
face, you lying coward.”
“Come outside,” said Boardman,
walking down stairs.
Wise did not follow after Boardman
was half way down the stairs, he said:
“Aren’t you coming V”
Wise made no answer but continued
tils invectives and Mr. Boardman was
soon out of sight.
As he left the building Wise shouted.
“This is not the last of this, you will
hear from me later, sir.”
Cornish who is book keeper in the
Hoffman house complained that W. Ed.
Stokes had libeled him by asserting in a
letter that he was falsifying the books of
the Hoffman house.
EXECUTED FOR THEIR CRIMES.

San Francisco, June 7.—Amelio
Garcia was hanged at 9:30 o’clock this
a. m. He met his death bravely. His
neck was broken by the sass. Garcia

the trap he raid in a loud voice: “Here
goes a brave man.” His neck was also
broken by the by fall. Azoff was caught
in the act of robbery, and killed officer
ITarri •, who attempted to arrest him.
Among those who witnessed theexecu
tion was&23ncf Detective Harris, the
victim of the ruffian's bullet.
At this time it was feared that Collins,
the third man to be hanged would weaken
on the gallows, as he had listened to the
drop fall when Garcia aud Azoff were
executed. At 10:40 however, he came
upon the i-caffold walking with a firm
step. The priest who attended Collins,
announced that Collins wished him to
state that he forgave all his enemies and
asked for forgiveness in return. Collins

guilty of part, but not all he was charged
with; he had made peace with his Maker
and wanted to meet all in heaven.

OUTLOOK FOR TRADE
REVIEW OF THE SPECULATIVE
AND STAPLE MARKETS
FOR THE W EEK.
THE TIDE OF BUSINESS RISING.
The Gain Ha# Gone Far and Fa#t and
as Yet,There i# no Indication ol a
Decline—Demand for Money Ex
pand# and W ages Increased—Cotton
.Mill# Doing Well-Improved Condi
tion# Reported Throughout the South
-•Failures During the Month of May.
New York, June 7. -R. G. Dunn &
Co’s. Weekly Review of trade to-morrow
will say: The tide of business is rising,
even as it was falling just two years ago,
with surprising rapidity. The gain has
gone far and so fast in some branches
that the more conservative fear it may
not be continued, but the period of
dullness which comes in each market
after an unusual rise brings as yet noth
ing like a corresponding decline. In
dustries gain much, halt or fall back a
little, and then gain once more. The
demand for consumptions steadily in
creases as the employment and wages of
people increase.
Demand for money expands, one bank
reporting 29 per cent larger discounts
for the country and another 23 per cent
more commercial loans than a year ago
and all but two report some gains. One
serious question remains, whether the
crop will be full enough to sustain a
large business, but the worst reports to
day are better by fir than the estimates
recently current.
Cotton declined an eighth with better
weather at the South, but excitement and
prices rise again with the report of only
11.6 per cent decrease in acreage. A
much greater decrease had been called
certain, but the condition is reported
less favorable than last year.
The flow of money hither from the in
terior has not ceased but has much les
sened, and banks report a general in
crease in discounts for the country large
ly for the South and in commercial loans.
Here‘mainly in manufacturing paper
foreign exchange is higher, exports
showing 17 per cent decrease for five
weeks, while imports show 14 per cent
increase.
London has sold about 25,000 shares
of stock more than it has bought for the
week but still bids largely for bonds.
Failures in four weeks of May showed
liabilities of $9,329,181, of which $3,-
401,875 were of manufacturing and $5,-
345,306 of trading concerns. Last year
the total was $9,787,921, of which $4,-
061,602 was of manufacturing and $4,-
281,886 of trading concerns. Failures
for the week have been 195 in the United
States against 216 last year, and 25 in
Canada against 40 last year.
Bradatreet*# Review.
New York, June 7. —Bradstreets to
morrow will say :
The speculative spirit which seemed to
dominate both commercial and financial
Circles until within a week or ten days
East is still conspicuous in all lines,
>emand for staple goods in a number of
instances is smaller, notably at Boston,
Pittsburg, Chicago and Kansas city, par
ticularly in dry goods, the demand for
which at first and second hands has de
clined, as is customary at
this period. While business
throughout the country may therefore
be characterized as quieter, the tone of
the staple markets continues strong and
confidence in a good demand.
The features of the week, as hereto
fore, is the continued long list of ad
vances in prices, notably those for iron
and steel and the upward movement of
bank clearings. Higher prices are re
corded for some cotton goods, shoes,
hides, leather, paper, pig-iron, steel,
galvanized iron, black sheets, canned
goods, hogs, wheat, corn, oats, and some
grades of wheat flour.
Prices for live cattle, wool, coal and
lumber are reported unchanged and firm,
while silver, cotton, petroleum and lard
alone are noteworthy as showing lower
prices than last week. Southern cities
in most instances report trade and col
lections only fair, with no special change
from last week, as a light gain in de
mand is reported from Atlanta and from
Jacksonville, where collections are also
better. The improved condition of busi
iness reported at New Orleans a week
ago continues.
Cotton mills are doing well, with very
satisfactory orders already for prominent
lines.. The market is strong with occasional
further advances. In knit goods there
is also some improvement and higher
prices for yarns, although prices have
ueen cut in some kind ot hosiery. The
effort to end the Olneyville strike was
not wholly successful, and in a few other
woolen mills strikes have occurred, but
the demand for goods 1 joks better, aud
a fair start has tieen made in oiders for
sass goods.
The Eastern Association has raised the
price of preferred iron to 1 per cent and
the amalgamated association demands of
Pittsburg aud Western makers a change
of wages with 1.1 cent as the basis.
Coke producers are said to have sub
stantially agreed upon the sales
by an agency and allotment of
output and an advance in prices
to $1.50 per hour. This and
purchases of 50,000 tous by the lar
gest producer of pig iron have raised
bessemerto sl2 at Pittsburg, aud South
ern pig has again been advanced 25
cents, making 75 in all. Chicago works
are in full operation, though the de
mand from agricultural implement
makers lag because the coming harvest
is in doubt.
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
RALEIGH ACADEMY CLOSES.
Appropriate Exercise# Marked by Re
sult* Gratifying in Every Way.
The end of the seventeeth year of the
Raleigh Male Academy, Messrs. Morson
and Denson, principals, was pleasantly
marked by the concluding exercises yes
terday. After religious services by Rev.
Dr. Cole, of Edenton Street M. E.
Church, in which all our educational in
terests wore feelingly remembered, the
grades reached upon examination were
read, and distinctions were conferred in
the Latin, Greek, French and English
languages; Mathematics, Science, and
commercial branches. The average
reached was fully up to the standard of
the best years of this famous school.
The enrollment for the past
year was 101. (Much satisfac
tion was expressed by the patrons
and friends of the school.
The Hon. James E. Shepherd
then delivered a very admira
ble address upon “The Lover of
Truth.” He discussed the pursuit of
truth by the scholar, the statesman, the
statesman, the scientist, and the Chris
tian. His remarks upon Hamilton’s anal
ysis of happiness were peculiarly forci
ble and striking. The entire address was
heard with the deepest interest by his
cultured audience. He closed with a
lofty description of the ideal in man’s
nature, and an appeal for a noble Chris
tian life as the avenue of true happi
ness.
His allusions to the Academy, as the
chosen school for his own son (now one
of the brilliant undergraduates of the
University) and the high rank he accord
ed it, were very gratifying to the friends
of the school.
At the request of the principals, Mr.
A. B. Stronach, Jr., formerly a pupil of
the Academy, made the presentation
speech of the Nesbitt Kendrick Medal to
Mr. John R. Watson for general merit,
given by Mrs. W. B. Kendrick as a me
morial to her deceased son, Nesbitt Ken
drick, formerly a pupil of the Academy.
Mr. Stronach’s witty speech was received
with much pleasure by audience and stu
dents alike, who enjoyed the honor with
which he reproduced scholarly experi
ences. Prof. Morrison Brown, who has
served as assistant during the past year,
received the cordial thanks of the princi
pals.
The announcement was made of the
usual re opening on the first Monday in
September next, under the management
of Messrs. Morson and Denson, who
have been liberally sustained by our
citizens in maintaining here a school
of preparation for any collegiate work in
this country, as well as for any demands
of business life. It is pleasant to note
its continued prosperity.
