THE ISSUE.

We did not intend to write, another line ir
relation TO this matter, but the article of The
Standard in yesterdays paper, has the follow
ing: -
1t seems 10 be commended by the Carolina
Times that ii il merely q private matter be.
tween the 7Carolinian and himself"
81, has been contended, in justifcation.o of this
proceeding. that Dr.. Gibbes, the proprietor Of
the Carolinian. had become personally offensive
to the oficerssof the city government, and that
for this reason he was excluded
We would say to the Standard that if we
had supposed for moment that the issue would
have been attributed to paltry. personal feel
ing, it would rot have been made. The follow.
ing is the true state of the case
In consequence of the personalities and sys-
tematic detrac,ion, by The Times, of the editors
of the Caroliniag, especially Of the senior, the
courtesy of exchange with that journal was
withheld. Since then we have ayoidedit as in.
consistent with propriety to readit. When we
became sole editor, we were called upon by
several to know why we did not publish TIE
proceedings of Council, andwe determined, as
we could copy nothing from Times, to apply
directly 10 the Council forits proceedings. We
requested the Mayor TO ask Of Council that We
might have the courtesy of reporter. 1t was
refused. In conversation wiht the Mayor about
the matter, he claimed the right Of questioning
our purpose. should we attend apublic meeting,
which we considered open to all. This We in.
formed him noe aoould neper submit 10, as we had
right to attend any public meeting, without
being catechised, and of doing as we pleased
about publishing its proceedings. Hence the
issue.
The principle involved lies deeper than The
mere question Of publishing proceedings Of
Council simultaneously, or ilrhing from the Or
gan its privileges. It is The basis Of republican
freedom. The freedom of the,presa and liber-
ties OF the citizen are concerned: lin contend
ing for rights under the constit6tionand charter
of the city, we expect 10 be supported in that
sacred duty. We feel and believe that We are
right, but, should thejudicial tribunals Of the
State decide otherwise, none will submit more
cheerfuliy to their det rees. We claim no sym
pathy, but justice and equal rights: With re-
gurd to our personal relations with the Mayor
and Aldermen, it may be as well to say that
there has never been any personal unkindness
between US. Our difference is pure oGFcial--
The Standard will oblige. US by copying this
cxplanation.-South Carolinian.

FATAL AFFRAY.-A serious affray occurred
at Snake Pond, u few miles FROM Barnwell Court
House on Saturday last, between William W.
peyton and an old man by the name Of Moody,
in which the latter received several severe
wounds across his arms, with knife, serving
the muin arteries, and he bled to death in less
than twenty .ninules. There had been gather:
ing at tho above named place on that day, for
the purpose OF shooting for a beef, and Peyton,
we arc informed, had asked this old man to loan
him his gun, but he refused, fearing some damage
might be done, whereupon the wounds above
mentioned were inflicted. Besides the death OF
Moody, some five or six others were severely
stabbed, and one man had his arm broken, and
another hnd part Of his nose cut off, We un.
