C, Dec. 15. ) There is a lively political stir here, among the Republicans, all growing out of the con test for the United States Senatorship. There are two sides to the question. On the one hand, Dr. Mott, H Ij. Grant, Jeter Pritchard and others say that Marion Butler will be the long term Senator most assuredly. Stata Chairman A. E Holton says the very same thing and with marked positiveness. But there, are others whol now make a singular assertion namely, that there is a bigTow i ... . . over this long term matter. The latter say that there is literally! "music iri the air," to quote their own words. In other words.they want a Republican sand not a Populist to have the long term! Your correspondent was the first to make the statement that there was no compact or arrangement by which Butler and Pitchard wtTd to be the Senators, the latter as the Republican for the i - short term. let at one time it was asserted that there was such a compact. It is quite remarkable jto see the vigorous de mals now that there was any sucn arrange ment. The Republican leaders' North are writing to their party in this State, declar ing that nothing else than a Republican for the long term will satisfy them In other words, the Republicans in the North and West want to have nothing to do with the Populists. It is alleged ! by some persons who declare they know what they are talking about, that .Butler himself oc cupies the most precarious position of all the persons named in connection I with the Senatorship. Thin to be sure is ; a startling assertion to make in the face of the positive and continued assertions that Butler would unquestionably be a Senator, and as surely get the long term. jTne interest among the Republicans certainly centres just now on this Senatorial matter. It is alleged by those antagonistic to H. G.TEwart that the latter leans too much towards Populism and it is said the extreme Republicans are against him. It is said there are many unpledged members of the Legislature, who really have not committed themselves to any one Efforts are being mjade by all the Republi can aspirants to geti members to pledge their support. A Republican said to-day that 'the Senatorial I fight will make the session lively. People do not know the extent of the opposition to Butler's setting the long term, because it is felt that despite his splendid work in the ! campaign and his hearty and constant co-operation with the Republicans, the latter cast a big the long term, letting the short one go to Sutler, xne agreement iaati eaun party should have a particular man .for Senator has gone all to smash. No Republican can now be found who! will say there was such an agreement." " ! i There has been a, positive statement made that Mr. Butler would vote with the Re publicans in the organization of the Senate. This, in fact, has bieen published as if made bv him. His friends deny it. i When Mr Tintler was asked bv your correspondent as to wnether he would so vote with the Re rmhlicans. he declined to talk. Some of his friends, howevjer, went further and said he had made no such statement as the one attributed to him They also i say there will be no joint caucus on the election of United States Senators, as the f Populists do not wish to hamper the Republicans or in terfere with their line i 'of action There will be (joint caucuses on all other matters before the Legislature. It is said quite positively and on high authority that Butler will take no part in the matter of the choice of th Republican Senator, but will hold aloof. (The Populists all regard his election for the long term as something not to be Questioned by any one I While it was at fi st said that the Legisla ture would absolutely repeal the county government law, and, in so doing, put im mediately at an erid the terms of all magis trates and commissioners, by removing the law upon which their existence rests, now there is alleged to be a new movement; this , j I I I - ! A - Demg to increase uy -uegiaiauve aiipuiuu ment, as at present, the number ot magis trates so largely a$ to exceed the number of Democratic magistrates, with a view to con trolling the electidn machinery.! Now this came from a Republican leader, i A promi nent Populist said that perhaps it would be best not to repeal the county government law at once and absolutely, but to wait two years, when the terms of the commissioners expire and then tyt the people elect com missioners.: Now these statements from men of each of the fusion wings go to show that this matter is! likely to be arranged. It must be the vlin of the! leaders to so arrange things, (for one of them said that his fear was that the Legislature would be particularly hard to control; that is, to ! prevent it from utterly abolishing the coun ; ty government lystem. as the fusionists i have been made very angry by the art of the comniisisionerk in some counties in re fusing to accept bpnds of fusionists elected to county offices, j I The Republicanj leaders, herfe this week in such number;?, alijdeclare that; the Legisla ture will be remarkably conservative; that its members will Igo very slow and keep a careful eye on thk treasury during the ses sion, i :' j ' " - The Winston Republican is now owned by a stock cbmpanvj, has been capitalized at S25.0GHJ and will soon appear as a daily there. It will take telegraphic! dispatches. The Republicans are having a iot to say about what they term frauds in the late election in the atcond Congressional dis trict. and call it th "black district.' ' It has some 2.000 white maiority. It is also al leged that in one countv in that district the Democrats cheated the negroes out of their votes. A Republican is frank enough to say this is untruh that the negroes there sol 1 out, Vlock, sp ck and barrel, ' and so disgusted a Republican negro that the latter has moved away from the county in ques tion, swearing that he will not live tnere longer It is further said that in one east ern county there J were only four white Re publicans, j This statement is made by one Of the four. ' . ' - :-. Is there or is there not j disagreement be tween the wings 6f the fusionists as to pat ronage? The facts as far as they can be gathered are set fprth above They ertainly show signs ot "the little rift within the lute." The troubles may all tie healed; that ' is, if the Populists are as successful as their j allies, the Republicans, i generally are in 1 patching up quarrels. The fusionists have b en asserting that the talk of their disa trrp rinf WAS all made up by the Democrats out of nothing, but now they are doing the j t liking. It is fetrange that in the face of the decla ration 'made by Holton, Mott, Pritchard and others that there should be trouble among the Republicans. But those who take the other side say the status of affairs has greatly changed with the past ten days and that this will be seen later on. As you were informed last night, judge Bynum in the mandamus proceeding v by Claude M. Bernard against the State board of canvassers decided that the writ of man damus could not issue and signed a judg ment d'ssolving the restraining order against the board. Bernard appeals. His case and that of Seawell in the Seventh district go together. The State board of canvassers, naving thus been allowed to count the vote of Nash county, did so this morning The result i of the vote for solitorjn the Thirddistrict thus stands': John E Woodard, 9,507, Claude M. Bernard 9,464, Claude N. Bernard (in Man ning s township, Nash county) 6VZ; Claude H. Kernard, (in Wilson county) 79. The .board also completed the canyass of the returns for solicitor in the Seventh dis trict. The result stands thus: N. A. McLean, 11.839 j H. F. Seawell, 9,749; Robert F. Sea- well, 1,091; H. L. Seawell. 2,267. j .- The board of canvassers accordingly issued certificates to Messrs.! Woodard and Mc Lean as solicitors. Sonator Chariest A.' Cook, the Republican on the board, said to me to-aay: . 'The board could not do other wise than it has done, j It had no power to correct returns. The whole board would correct them if it had power; but its duties are stnckly prescribed in the statutes, i Mr.lVVoodard oeclmes to accept thecertin- catethus given. He writes Governor Carr a manly letter, m which he takes high. ground. He wrote this letter some davs ago, alter he had become cognizant by a careful examination of the facts in the case. Me knew when he wrote this letter that the facts would be in his favor;! that is.that the board would have to find according to the f acs of the returns. He knew nothing of any facts as to the allegation of fraud until after the meeting of the State board of canvassers two weeks ago. When the certificate was awarded him he at once de termined on his course. He ascertained by a letter from a poll holder in Manning's township, Nash county, that the 342 votes put down for Claude N. Bernard were really cast for Claude M. Bernard; and that the error was that of the poll-holder, who maddout the returns and sent mem to tne countv board The charge of fraud made by Bernard is not made jagainst Woodard In the course of his letter to the Governor Mr. iWoodard says: ; 'T have held office under clear title for four years and I could not cbnsent to hold it longer under a com misson issued on a mere technicality or even tainted with a suspicion of techninai invalidity, but prefer to surrender the com mission.

DEATH OF AND if BO WEN He pies From Injuries Received in the Fight with Lavisne Liavigne and Jj His Backers in Prison. Niw Orleans, De5. 15 Andy Bo wen, the local pugilist, died this morning just before 7 o'clock from the results of injuries re ceived in the ring last ; night. The fight lasted eighteen rounds. In the eighteenth Lavigne landed heavily on Bo wen's jaw, and jthe local light weight fell heavily to the fioor, his head striking violently. He was picked up, carried to his corner and the usul restoratives used, but he did not regain consciousness, and the physicians were called in. jjThey worked on him until 6:43 o'clock when Bowen breathed his last at his home, in tbe presence of his wife and a small as semblage of friends, without having re gained consciousness, from the time he fell in the ring. The police station was imme diately notified and Lavigne, Professor Duffy, the referee; Sam Fitzpatrick, Martin Murphy, Geo. Considine, Jim Hall and Billy Lay ton were placd in cells and an affidavit made against Lavigne for murder and the other as accomplices before and after the fact. Mayor Fitzpatrick, as sbon as he reached his Office to day, issued an order revoking thejpermit for the faght jbetween Dempsey andj Kyan to-night. Bowen was 31 years of in l4ew Orleans and had age. He was born lived here all his life! It is generally believed that the fatal outcome of the fight will! kill prize fighting in iew Orleans Lavigne is much shocked over the result of the right. .' Cbroner Lawroson. assisted by Drs Dene eree Martin, and Lawrence, and a jury of fivefmen, held an autopsy and inquest on Bowen's body at 1 o'clock. The verdict was! that death resulted l!rom concussion of th el-brain. : Cproner Lawrason, after the inquest, said: that the death of Bo ven was probably! cadged by his head strik g the hard floor, j forfif it was caused by the blow his neck: w oti Id have been broken. iilly" Laytou, one of Bowen's seconds.! n arrested this morning said he had pained about the ring because it had no hinder the canvass, but that Bowen re- 1 it was all right afid he would fight iway. ie Attorney General to dav notified the Auriitorium club management that the pro- pospii nght to-niiiht between Dempsey and Ryan co'jl t not take place, and. that if nec-j esslry he w uld get out "an injunction to preyent it He also notified the Olympic ana tne auQiionum c fights shall take place pending in court has ubs that no more here until the case finally been dis-i posed, of. the management ot the two clujbs notified the Attorney General that they would acquiesce ii his demands. i lavigne was released on $ 10,000 bond to- day and the seconds; of I both fighters and Reteree Duffy, who are held as r ccissories, were released on 4-5,000 bond.

' TO BE BEPOBTSD WIT HOUT ; ABY AMENDMENTS. io uejaiiea up Tuesday Argaments on Financial Questions Before the Committee , Views of Two Prominent New York Dank Presidents One Favor ing and the Other Opposed to Free Silver. i it . . T" . " rr i m ashiagtot, uec. io. ro-days session of the House Committee on Banking and Currency closed the hearings that have been given during the past week on the subject of reyising the National bank ing and " currency system. Secretary Car lisle, Senator Teller and a number of others interested in financial matters were presBnt- I Bankers representing views directly oppo. site occupied the attention of the commit tee. They were Mr. G. G. Williams, presi dent, of the Chemical National .bank, of New York, and W. P. St. John, president oi tne Mercantile JNationai bank, of New York. Mr. St. John is in favor of free sil ver, while Mr. Williams is against it. Mr. Williams maintained that the ores ent situation in currency matters was one requiring only farmness and common tense The first problem in a clumsy and conglom erated nnanciai system was tne disposition to be made of the legal tender notes. No nnanciai svstem, ne said, could be perma nently successful without providing for the elimination of these notes from our fiscal system. Provision should be made at once for funding a part of them, say $250, 000,000 m amounts of, perhaps, $50,000,000 at a time, at the discretion of the Secretary or tne treasury. umtea states oonas bearing a rate ot in terest not over 3 per cent (and his idea would be that a 3 per cent bond would be the 'most advisable to issue, as it would never go below par) these bonds to be re ceivea as security for circulating notes of National banks on the basis of par for the bonds, the Government having a first lien also on the assets of the banks as additional secarity, was suggested by Mr. Williams. These notes would be redeemable in New York city and would furnish adequate elas ticity to the currency when issued in suffi cient volume, and, being readily conyerti bie, wie security would be ample. The tax on trie circulation of National banks, he said, should be removed at once, and with a 3 per cent bond at par and no tax on circu lation, there will be sufficient inducement tor National banks to take out circulati notes. MM Williams said he did not believe it was the business of the Government to issue notes. He was opposed to the theory of the Carlisle bill for protecting note holders by a safety fund. Conservative institutions, he said, would not join hands and be jointly responsible tor the circulation of from3,00J to 6,000 other banks, as provided in the Car lisle plan tor cases where the safety and guarantee funds were not sufficient to pay the debts of failed- banks. Incidentally. Mr. Williams gave a statement concerning his ownanky which caused some of the mem bers or tne committee to raise their eye brows in surprise. Its capital is $300,000, its surplus $6,000,000, its undivided profits more than Sl,000,000,Uts depos.ts $30,0C0,C03, its dividends loo per cent, per aunum, and its stock selling at $4,300( per share of 5100. Under official dictation, said Mr. St. John. tutored by the one mo?t aggressive of all our handful of 'goldites" in the United States, Congress loo i with bank notes while the burning issue is our primary money. ; Kedundant bans notes nad inva riably banished gold and silver. They never were suspected of enticing either into money. The aggregate of money, he said, determines prices, and to enlarge the aggre gate of money in the United States was to raise normal prices for home and. interna tionally consumed commodities here. Mr. St. John spoke in favor of silver and urged bimetallism by concert of laws. "But" he said, "if any attempt to achieve bimetallism independently is to yield silver as our only money, my conviction is the conviction of Robert Morris, namely: 'That silver is preferable to gold if either is to be the only current money of the United States.' The present Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States and his associates of the President's Cabinet have lately shared a well advertised effort to heap posthumous honors on Robert Morris." Criticising the reoeal of the Sherman act and pointing out what ne called the resulta and perils of gold monometallism, Mr. St. John urged that Congress restore our Hamilton-Jefferson coinage system, founded with the mint, maintained for eighty years with out complaint, and withdrawn unobservedly at a time when neither gold or silver was our current money. His entire statement was devoted to an argument that Congress should enact a law providing bimetallism. This, he claimed, would do awny with the necessity for other financial legislation, and once such a law was passed and approved there would be no reason for passing new banking laws. Bimetallism and. not bank ing legislation was what the country needed. He continued his remarks with the state ment that acting in entirely good faith, he wished to say that he would antagonize every thing thi he had seen printed and heard said by gentlemen of his profession before the committee. During the absence of the members of the minority it was decided to report the Carlisle bill without amendment. Several members of the majority gave notice that they wished to amend the bill, but it was agreed not to do this in committee. No action was taken binding the maj rity to support any amendment that may be offered. When this agreement had been reached the Republicans were sent for. Before adjournment Chairman Springer gave Notice that he would c tll up the bill on Tuesday next and ab the Committee on Rules to bring in a rule for its consider ation, giving the time suggested by the majority of the committee fur its consider ation. The order will include 11 o'clock meetings and nkht sessions of the House. . Hio-hes- of all in Leavening ' '-' TH ; j j " : , - .li: . -j - i : ; r r ' ARMS.

After the dis pensary troubles in Darlington county last April, Governor Tillman determined'that he would punish the military companies of the fctate which did not go to Darlington in obedience to his orders and disarmed several of the companies in jthis city and in other parts of the State.! ; He made a demand upon the Washing.
