In our issue of last week we pub- lished an extract from the Balti- more Sun to the effect that Judge W. J. Whipper, of Beaufort, 8, C., had been arrested for the embezel- ment of funds belonging to minors. We see by the Sea Island News, published at Beau- fort, S.C., a letter written by Judge Whipper, stating that: “On the 20thday ofJavuary, 1887,I commenced work for Rubert Smalis as attorney in his contested elec- tion case and from that time until the close of the case in Apri!,] was at his (Smalls:) or his lead- ing couusel, T. H. Wheeler, E-q., for Beaufort Co., service subject their orders, except two days Roar bidkiessf “discharging my whole duty, as I knew it, and on two occasions in his obscene nsed my own private funds for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses in- cured in his contest. At the end of the contest there was a balance in my favor o! $238.00. Before my Dill was pre- sented or demand on him for its payment he took the pains to as- ‘gure me that he would pay me as soon asone T.C. Scott paid him for a certain tract of land purchas ed by him sometime before, and then for the first time I learned that it was purchased for the minor . children by ove Simon Fripp of whom the said Scott was guardian. A day or two later Scott approached me as to whether or not I would approve the iuvestment. I assured him thatI would approve any fairinvestment. * * * * Iwas assured by Smalls again and again that the lands were worth double the amount of the purchase money and that the sacrifices was made only for the purpose of settling the demand of those to whom he was indebted for services in the contest and who are presenting their bills. He also volunteered to procure a horse and buggy and take me to the place in order that I should satisty myself that it was a fair investment. This I told him was unnecessary for the reason that a mere inspection of the premises would not be sufficient, but that I would consent with parties who knew the place and who could pass upon the value of the same and then I would be ina position to say whether it was a fair invest- ment or not. Soon afterwards two unsigned deeds were presented to me;one by Mr. Ezekiel, the other by H.G. Judd, both acting as I was informed, for Mr. Scott. I then met. Ezekiel and ager “Fr 4 agreed upon a form of deed to be made partly from two mentioned above, which deed was presented to me unsigned bat the form of which I was satisfied with. I am informed that it was after- wards executed and placed in the bank of Mr. F. W. Schefer, to be delivered to Scott as soon asa draft on Mr. S. M. Wallace was paid. Mr. Wallace had the money | and was on Scotts official bond. He would not pay the draft unless he could be released as surety on | Scotts bond.

The report of the committee on privileges and elections to seat Hon. Ceasor Edmunds, #8 a sena- tor from the state of Vermont was opposed by Senator Pinch- back, Mr. Pinchback asserted that Mr. Edmunds was a notori- ous and corrupt politician and that his admssion as a senator to this body would be a disgrace to the American people. Why sir, said Mr. Pinchback, you are endea- .voring to establish sucial equality We colored members of this dig- nified body vannot afford at this time to allow these low classes of white people to associate with our wives. The president would be in duty bound, should Mr. Ed- munds be admitted, to invite him to his statedinners. I move that the report be recommitted. A vote was taken which resulted in recommitting the report. The white member voted against the motion to recommitte. Mr. Pruden Cook, the presi- dents’ assistant private seeretary was waiting at the door, witha mcssage from the president. Mr. Piucbback moved that the presi idents message be received.—Af- terwhich the Senate went into Ex:cntive session The follow- ing nominations were seut to the senate to-day: Postmaster at Washington, James C.

Senator Stewart in his speech said, that those people should be protected; that it was a disgrace to the American people to t ler rate these outrages any longer. Senator Revells, said that histo ry tells him that this s:me pe ple use to do the colored pecple s. Senator O’Hara in reply said, that it can’t be possible, that white peopleever committed such UIMECS wp eties the eolsnad panpla No, sir, I don’t believe it said he emphatically. Why Mr Presi dsdt, I have been informed, that these colored men have invaded the sacred bed chambers of maid~ ens and not being eatisfied with that, these miduight assasins go from door to door, masked and order inocent men out of their houses. Tke poor white people demand a fair vote and as honest count. The Depertment of State received a minutephone message from the United Siates Minister at LIBERIA to the effect that railroad cars are running by electricity. The min~ utephone is a great invention. 200 Years ago this had to be done by telegraph. This is a great im- provement on the telephone. 40 miles was as far as people could be heard in the 19th century.
