THE PRECISE FACTS.
The Omaha Herald is still liarpinj
upon these contested election cant *
from South Carolina as Iho coining
oulrngo of the season , and specially
instances the case of Smalls ngainsl
Tillman.
Now these men are both specimens
in their way. Tillmnn murdered n
man in Edgcfield county before the
war , was convicted nnd ( led to Texas ,
[ n J 877 Smalls was convicted of whole-
lalo bribery and corruption in the
itato legislature nnd would have gene
, o the penitentiary but for the mag-
lanimity nnd personal sacrifices of
rlio Ihon Unilcd States attorney.
When the amnesty was arranged ho
vas pardoned. Ho again ran for con
gress nnd the census shows his ma-
ority wilhoul olhor proof.
The claim that the negro votes the

Carolina democrats and their friends
lore ought not lo howl about
ho consequences of Iheir own
els. For eight years of rcpubli-
an rule a carnival of public debauch-
ry existed. The republicans robbed
nd plundered under Scolt and Moses ,
nd Iho domocrals replied by Ku-
Ilux murder nnd Hamburg and El-
niton massacres. It was the general
ot of murder versus robbery. In
570 the democrats seised the govorn-
icnt and hunted doivu rrpublicans
ir the misrule in state , ' Bounty and
luniclpal affairs. They nrtoJtod them
y wholesale , forced nil in ollico
) resign , nnd made state wit-
oasc.i of the meanest and worst
E them. Thcso witnesses squealed
aflicionlly lo make a report of 1,000
ages , which inculpated nearly every
) publican who had over , had anything

iw nnd very honorable exceptions ,
ho olalo judicial machinery was incon-
id hands , and experience showed lhat
Irial and conviction was synony-
ous. None of the old republican load
's dared to take part in polilics , and
j now man yonlurod lo risk it.
The republican party was virtually
; ad there under this judicial
aughtor. Its members were justly
id unjustly in exile or jail. On the
.her hand , thousands of cases for vi-
alien of Iho federal oloclion and
ivonuo laws were on the dockets of
10 United States courts. The state
is torn up by this war in the courls ,
id n desperate temper on the out-
Jo.
Finding that the state courts were
nvicting republicans invariably ,
lilo on account of Iho jury system
.d . the lalo decisions of the supreme
urj nt Washington convictions were
ipossiblo in the federal courls , Iho
uitod States attorney determined to

r of the distillers , in which Iho Uni-
l Stales utlornoy nt ono term took
ur 700 pleas of guilly , lolling them
, under suspension of sentence and
i alrlctost pledges of good behavior.
No man who over fired on an offl-
or oilored violence was allowed to
tad or go free. Ho was tried , con-
itod and sentenced.
Then came the political amnesty in
iich nil offenses on either sldo grow-
; out of politics were under order of
irt discontinued , the democrats
rdoning nil Ihoir convicts and bind-
; their government to entire linmii-
y for the pant years of unparalleled
1 monstrous corruption.

sration of Iho teat oath , n great
inbor of convictions would have

3nty republicans would have
10 to Iho state penitentiary and
yod there. Every personal nnd
itical interest of the United States
oiuoy was against thia amnesty ,
; the public peace and welfare do-
tided it.
'liia , once for all , is the key of the
mtion in that distracted state. If

nee 1849 is estimated at $440,200-

lows that over 100,000 prospects
AVO been taken up in Colorado , and
10 necessary $100 worth of labor per-
irmod upon that number , to say

: cts , to which title has been acquired
Colorado , is one-third of Iho whole
imbor in Iho United Stales , then
30,000,000 would represent their
OBB cost. The capitnl of the miners
id prospectors , as indicated by the
ickot money they bring into the
untry , the supplies they purchase
id the mules and horses they all
nnago to acquire , will probably bo
aply represented by $50,000,000 for

obably bo purchased for § 100,000-

aw Experiments in Street Paving
Icago Tribune.
There are Homo interesting depart-
ca in the way of j ) wing experiments
this city. For n number of years
e wooden-block pavement in some
mi or other monopolized the streets
Chicago. Thia city was regarded as
0 homo of the Nicolson pavement.
) other pavement was contemplated ,
d it was laid equally on the Iicavily
ivoled streets and the byways. J x-
rionco has proved , however , that the
loden blocks are not equally well-
itod to all classes of streets. Hence
u experiments in now directions. A
uiito pavement is now in process of
iistrnction on Monroe street bo-
eon State and Wabash avenue. It
being laid upon a substantial foun-
lion of broken stone covered wilh
id , and it looks as though it would
iluro forever. It will bo frightfully
isy as compared wi'h the wooden
) cks , but as it is laid in front of the
liner House and the Chicago Club
toleration in thia block will bo
3d ovidtnco lhat it will not bo intol-
iblo elsewhere. It is the sort of
rotnont which must bo adopted
) iier or later for the streets given
jr to heavy and constant traffic.
1 thoroughfares like Wabash a venue ,
cd by residences but much traveled ,
i noise of stone is objectionable enD
D side , ai.d on the other the prop-
y-owners cannot afford to renew
i wooden-block pavements oa often
is necessary in order to provide a
isablo thoroughfaro. The export-
nt of asphalt blocks is to bo tried.
0 contract has been lot for laying
s kind of pavement between
enty-lhird and Thirty-fifth streets ,
1 the work will bo done this sum-
r. It can bo kept as clean as a
no pavement and is not nearly so
noisy , It costs twice a's much f <
construction as the wooden pavomen
nnd ehould lust more than twice t
long In good condition to bo n desii
nblo investment. Its durability r <
mains to bo tested , St. Lauis report
unfavorably in regard to thnt qualitj
but it is explained that the street
Upon which il has been laid in SI
Louis nro narrow and crowded thoi
oughfares which sustain the bulk c
heavy traffic. On many of the cross
streets of the city gravel pavement
have been constructed recently , an
it is hoped that , for light use , the ;
will provo acceptable subatilutes fo
the wooden blocks. At all events , th
variation in the character of stree
pavements promises to give greatc
Sitisfncfaction than Iho universal prca
once of the wooden blocka afforded
Bui there are Iwo IhiiiRS Iruo of al
kinds of pavements : (1) ( ) They inuu
bo constructed honestly unU nubsUn
tially , and (2) ( ) they must bo kept ii
repair constantly. Whatever else tin
city may or may not do in regard ti
the streets , simple justice to the prop
crty-owncrs who bear the cost of tin
street pavements demands that nr
rangcmctiln should bo tnado for rcgn
lar inspection and repair of nil pivc
monts that have been recently con
slructed , No test of relative merit :
will bo complete without thia condi

The Pennsylvania independent !
liavo promptly declined lo bo caught
in Iho Irap sot for them by Mr. Cam-
sron. At the Bamo time Ihoy tried to
Joprivo the stalwarts of the political
: apitnl the latter expected tomako.out
jf an unconditional rejection of their
proposition for reunion by aubmilting
t counter proposition which haa the
nerit of fairness and is put forth as
in ultimatum. It is to the effect that
) oth the stalwart and independent
ickota shall bo withdrawn , and that
lie several candidates nro to "pledge
homsolves not to nccopt any subso-
[ ucnt nomination by the proposed
icw convention. " Thia proposition
as been signed by four of the indo-
endonl candidates. It is known that
fr. Cameron has sot his heart upoi
Ir. Beaver's nomination for the gov
rnorship , and that , If ho confessor
imsolf forced to abandon that , i
ould bo n virtual abdication
[ his dictatorship. The prob
bilisy is , therefore , that Mr ,
amoron will not nccopt nnj
foposition involving General Boaver'i
cclusion from the ticket. While thi
( dependents are thus maneuvering
> r position in trying to throw the re
lonsibility for the rejection of rea
inablo peace overtures upon the
al warts , it must bo observed , tha' '
10 mere withdrawal of the candidates
i both sides , and the mere defeat o
: Mr. Cameron's ' effort to makoGon
oavor governor of Pennsylvania , do
3t moot the programme of tlio indo
sndont movement. If the whole
ling were to end there , it would fal
sryshort of the requirements of the
mea. These requirements have been
r moro broadly and correctly appro
alod by Mr. McMichaol , the indo
mdent candidate forcongrcasman-al
rge , who refused to subscribe to the
reposition signed by his follow can'
dates , and wrote a separate letter ,
i which ho defines his position and
arposea as follows : "I will not
ithdraw or retire unless events
reafter gives assurance that
10 necessary reform in the civil
irvico shall bo adopted , assessments
ado upon office-holders returned and
at hereafter exacted , boss , machine ,
id spoils methods forever abandoned ,
id all our public offices , from United
tales Senators to the most unimport-
it officials , shall be filled only by
) nest and capable men , who will rep
sent the people , and not attempt to
ctnto lo or control Ihom. " That is
10 spirit in which the Independent
ovomont must bo conducted if it is
i yield any valuable and permanent
suits for the cause of reform. It
lould not for n moment lose sight of
10 great objects for which the move-
ont was undertaken , and to which
o reunion of the party must bo hold
ilirely subordinate. "Mr. JIcMichael
idontly understands the work he has
hand.
