zap Of suffering community"
Attached tc this communication is letter
from +. H. Cain, senator from Charleston, in
which he says: "Mr. Corbin has manifested a
spirit of disregard for the poor man, and al
his real interests, in such m amer that have
come to regard him as the enemy of the poor
man, only SO far as be can make good thing
out of them. 1t was at his instance that this
bill was laid on the table, and hence lost. So
the school bill is lost by his advice, and every
other good measure looking to the peoples in
terssts."
Now, MIR. Editor, do not know who this "
N. NJ" is, neither do care; but the promi'
nence given to his communication makes 1t
necessary should notice him.
"Two millions of dollars into the lap of a
suffering community" From wheace, pray
The bill referred to provided for the repeal OF
that portion of the Fire Loan act, OF 1888,
which prohibited the building within the City
of Charleston 'any wooden or framed building,
or to cover any building with roof Of COM
busbble materials"
I opposed the bill, because believed it con-
trary to the true interests of the City OF
Charleston, and the sound policy adopted by
the city and State thirty years ago. It Is the
policy of all the large Atlantic cities. The fires
of 1888 and 1861 are sufficient to teach the peo-
pie Of Charleston, if they can be taught, not
to build up the city with wood. Being near
the sea, nearly level, is it wise to make it
mere tinder box on large scale, 30 that il a
spark of fire falls all must burn?
opposed the passage of the bill for these
considerations. and without reference to the
present usurping Board of Aldermen, although,
God knows, T dislike them bad enough.
AS to R. b. Cain and his SANDERS, have
only to say, know him and his practices as a
LEGISLATOR, and his advice to certain members
about receiving money, &C., and his violent
opposition to the passage Of a bill to prevent
and punish bribery and corruption, and deem
him too contemplate character for my no.
tice.
AS to defeating the Educational bill, did all
in my power to pass one, and 1t did pass the
senate. The House OF Representatives adopt
ed and sent to the Senate substitute, which,
since left, a week since, the Senate refused
to concur in, and very properly, in my juds-
ment.
Thus much for the truth Of this Reverend
Democrat. Seldom present in the Senate
himself, he personally knew or did scarcely
anything on any subject of general interest to
the community, and he now turns round to
slander and Willy those who have tried to do
their duty.
Give him rope enough and he will hang
himself. Very respectfully,
n. T. CoRaIS.
Charleston, S. c., March &c, 1869.
