Those .soiid Reason..n

The Union is anxious to put off State
matters as long as possible. 1t asks us
to meet the city matters first. It will
find US fully prepared at all points. 1t
talks about our not making specific
charges, and calls for our ''solid reasons"
for the belief expressed that there have
been frauds and collusions in connection
with our city affairs. We refer it to
those articles we have already written on
the subieot-which articles the Union
itself called shot shot" Why, our arti-
oles did not only give "solid reasons
and involve ''specific charges" but, in
the opinion of many. they did more
they amounted to demonstration of gull.
See the correspondence elsewhere pub
lished. To the questions put by u.s.,
ninetenths of the community would NO
doubt say ''aye, aye" The Union goes
to the defence of the City Council. The
Council may we'll say, "Save us from
our friend" Shall we have the investi.

information for tho worth. !.

We are pleased to say that the New
York Herald. the World, and the Gin
oinnati Commercial, and perhaps other
papers, have each correspondent in
this State to report the state of affairs
in the up-country. We believe that the
whole case will be fairly stated, and we
cannot but think that good will result
from an impartial report that will reach
the country.
We see in the Herald, of October 81,
last, its correspondence from Newberry.
The writer gives what he saw and heard
says Newberry County is more quiet
than Manhattan; that the 'outrages" are
gross misrepresentation, and suggests
that President Grant has been imposed
apon by the Loyal Leaguers. We shall
expect to find things properly repre-
sented by the correspondents. Let US
have the whole truth.

Tha. "Appeal for Bread"

The Union, at least, is not likely to
have to ''appeal for bread" judging
from the way in which it has already
feathered its editorial nest That we
may have to beg, is possible; for whilst
some get rich, we admit that our ten
dency is to get poor. But this we sug-
gest to the Union. that we have an aneo-
dote to tell it. Tho illustrious Timothy
Hurley, OF Hurleyville, once said to us,
in tone Of great exultation: "Don't
you see. eh, that the id carpet baggers
arc building mp Columbian" eyes" we
replied. "but let us ask you, WITH WHOSE
MONEY!" And Tim. was silent. He saw
the point. As to the long and excited
sigamarolo in the Union, whenever it
seeks to interpret our sentiments, it is
all nonsense. We have no criticism to
make upon the business course of our
merchants. They will do as they please.
Nor, let us tell the Union, is it matter
.hs. concerns ns. We atand upon high
ground. We have not any pecuniary in
terest whatever in the business OF the
PHGN1x. All we desire is to see the
proprietor duly sustained in the effort he
is making to represent the intelligent
people of the State and to develop the
interests OF this city and the State at
large. SO much for business.

EDITOR OF PHOENIX: We desire to give
positiue denialto the report or assertion
'that about $3.50. 600 have been paid out
on account OF the pnblic printing, since
the last Legislature. The Treasurer's
and Comptroller's books will show the
following amounts paid since the State
printing was placed in the hands of the
Clerks of the two houses:

pose. .................. S3O, 600

..Tho state Printing"

We publish the card of Messrs. J.
Woodruff and A. o. Jones, which will
be seen elsewhere. The statement made
may do very well, as for as it goes; but
we ask to be excused from agreeing with
the Clerk Of the Senate and the Clerk of
the House. that they have given the only
material matter in reference to the ex-
penditures for the State printing, in
which the public are interested. There
are number Of pertinent questions left
unanswered. Our readers will observe
that the statement is denied that about
$230,000 have been paid out since the
last Legislature on account of the public
printing. We have this to say, that the
information came to us from gentle
man who got it from high official
source. Since reading tho card of
Messrs. Woodruff and Jones, wo have in
anired into the matter, and conclude
that on the little word 'since" hangs
much. Is it, Messrs. Woodruff and
Jones, that the $780, 900 includes the
printing Of the last Legislature? Is it
not at least true. that from the beginning
of the last session of the Legislature to
The present time, about $23O,OOO have
been paid out on account of State print
ingp And are there not claims still
pending to swell the enormous amount
Of $3.50. 900, just for printing? But
what about the other inquiries? Only
ono count in the Indictment has been
met, and that only modiGes the point
made by us. Another point. We notice
that the sum Of $40. 900 is reported paid
to newspapers. Did not about $35. 900
go to the three Radical newspapers. and
the balance to about t,0enty Democratic
newspapers?

Our Amswer,

The Union brings forward note from
r:Lewis Merrill. Major aud Brevst Colo.
mel United States Army denying that
three ladies' had been arrested in York,
and further stating that this statement,
like nearly all he has noticed in the
PHOENIX in regard to matters in York
County. is ''au unmitigated falsehood,
without even color of truth in it," In
reply, we have to say that We have pub.
lished nothing but what came to US on
the highest authority-authority which,
to us, is fully as high as Major Merrill.
With US journalism shall be as truthful
as we can nuke it. II ladies have not
been arrested in York, we are glad of it,
and are pleased to conclude that Major
Merrill repudiates var upon women.
The Union says ,e PHGNR and Charles,
ton Ne,os deny the existence Of such an
organization-referring to the "Ku
Ktux." The Mews can speak for itself.
"The hand Of Douglas is his own" We
have believed in the existence ce both
the Ku KIux and Loyal League organixa-
toas. We believe, further, that the
Union may, with eminent propriety, be
called the great grandfather of Ku
Kluxism. The editor denies that he
came to South Carolina to re organize
the Leagues of South Carolina, and re-
pudiates all connection whatever. with
them. We ask: Did you not como on a
political mission? Dare you tell under
what auspices you came to South CARROLL
ma, in the summer of 1870? Dare you
answer whether you have or have not
been q member of the Loyal League?
What were your relations, in party
sense, with Mr.. A. s. Wallace, MI. G.?
