WHIPPER VS.. SMALLS.

The Times with its usual untruth-
fulness is hammering away atme again.
Not content with beating US with
words at his thinly attended meetings
in support Of a still more thin cause,
in his Saturdays issue he charges me
with having an alteration with one OF
his supporters Dob Bythewood) which
is absolutely false. So also is the false
hoods he tells my Of having got into
hot water at Chisolms Landing.
The facts are that at the latter place
two of his hired followers, on account
of bad conduct in support Of worse
cause were run from the place, and
this the Times with its usual malignity
terms personal alteration Of Sc
rious charactern for us.
But the doughty "Proprietor" of the
Times is aware that he risks nothing IN
his suggestion of a shorter and easier
method, we'll knowing that py MS ao
vice as Smiths counsel, we are under
bonds to keeps the peace.
The Times also still harps about the
$500 from the armed Force fund, when
the matter has already been fully eX-
planned, but that which really requires
explanation from him, ''Proprietor" is
as silent as the grave. Perhaps II L
should ask proprietor" "or his chief
fugler, Alfred Williams, what has be-
come of the remainder of the 81, 900 ap-
propriated to repair the Arsenal, he
would still fling at the Armed Force
Fund. Or, perhaps, if Task our pro

account only amounted to $4,000,
but was increased in the committee Of

JUDGE MELTON AND THE REPUB.
MCAN.

A statement made in the REPUBLT-
CAN two week, ago TO the effect that
Judge Melton had decided the Blue
Ridge suit against the city of Charles
ton and in favor Of the present Ring
which controls the effects Of the road, is
proved to be untrue. The article was
written in Columbia, where the writer
was told, by one interested to a very
large amount in the suit, that it had
been decided. We have written to the
gentleman asking for an explanation,
which when received will be placed
before our readers. We have no in
tention of doing any man injustice in
this campaign.
The political sins of Moses, Melton,
Cardozo, I'd onane genus, are sufficient to
supply ammunition without troubling
any one to invent. We made the
statement believing it TO be true, our
informant having 80 large an interest
as to make his statement almost con-
elusive evidence. We heard it spoken
of afterwards several times as fact.

Mules for Moses.

On Saturday last a fine pair of mules
came to Senator Smalls as present from
Frank Moses. They are campaign mules,
and are to be used il hauling the speak
ers for Moses round the County. The
mules are too honest looking for such
work. One is named Validating Bill the
Certif Kate. Their tails are appropri-
ately shaved to indicate the condition Of
the state treasury. But they are good
mules, and intelligent. We are told that
a pcrogenitor of theirs, on the fathers side,
rebuked Balaam for alying prophecy.
If these animals are equally sensitive to
falseboods we may be able to chronicle a
protest from them before the campaign is
over against being used for such disreru-
table service as electioneering for Moses.

The Meeting Here.

Melton, Gurney and Ransier spoke
here on Friday night. Melton repeated
his slanderous speech against Tomlin-
son and endeavored to defend Moses
in the pay certificate business by SHIFT
ing the load upon the senate. Ransler
here nudged the speaker, who faltered
out, "I d-d-don't mean toc-charge
Ransier with it, b-b-but the speaker
p-pro:tem." Ransier made a speech
in his usual style of non-commitallsm.
No one could tell who he was for ex-
cept himself The crowd was small and
rather disposed to put embarrassing
questions. A few STRIKERS" around
the stand did the cheering.

Itwould seem impossible for man to
write the above without seeing the gross
inconsistency between the first sentences
and the last one. The Neocs processes to
be or2csed to Moses because OF his bad

there is no choice between the two men.

4 Charge of the Broom Brigade

An incident occurred at the State
house, several days since, which seems
to have remained unnotlced longer
than it should. II appears that owing
to the contraction of the money mar
ket. the washerwomen at the Lunatic
Asylum, about a dozen in number,
have not been paid for several months.
They therefore resolved to raid the
State officers, and on Wednesday call
ed in body at the State treasury,
where they made known their wants.
Their combined statements were too
much for the presiding genius OF that
institution, and they finding the same,
so far as money was concerned, IN as
dilapidated a condition as their index
fingers were after a hard days scrub
binc left and wended their way TO the
Executive rooms. Here they were re-
ceiyed with the characteristic urbanity
of his Excellency, who made them
neat little speech, condoling their mis-
fortunes, which was so effective that
the women returned Immediately to
the ASYLUM, to await the collection OF
taxes 0Iumbla Cal0n.
That must have been a fearful day
for Scott and Parker. Think of the
dusky scrubbers, each with a stubby
broom, their flag a ragged floor cloth,
their cry, "Pay or be secured"
Or is the story truly told by the
Union, organ of the Ring. ls it not
more probable that having heard Car
dozo's confession, these matrons, filled
with patriotic ire, determined to wash
clean the conspirators within the pre-
cincts of the Statehouse. Did not the
guilty cover in their granite roomsS
They could find no treasurer. "Fle, my
lord, a soldier, and afear'd?" Tappan
and Jack Little politely say, "We're
not in funds" One obese Amazon
batters on the iron doors for Parker
But all in vain. Then, "To the Gov
ernor," is the cry. Here, fancy Harry
Noah ushcring in the glowering, pant
ing danes; the Governors urbane
speech; his promise of money in the
fall; the indignant rejection of such a
compromise. Suddenly "happy
thought of the graceful Harry. "Send

The organs have been talking hys-
terically of Mr.. Greeley's disposition
to urge the payment Of pensions to
Rebel soldiers, but have not, in the in
tervals o. their shrieks and chatterings,
given any semblance ofreason for their
assertion. At last Western paper
produces the thing that has been chat
ing their sensitive souls all this time:
and 1t is-the tenth plank ofthe Gin
cinnati platform! Because that plat
form expressed the obligations Of the
country to the 'soldiers and sailors of
the Republcn and not of the North
Therefore, !" thinks The Detroit Post.
"Mr. Greeley wants to pay pensions
to Rebel soldiers" What a pity the
construction of that platform couldn't
have been left to the Grant editorsl
Their consummate mastery of English
would probably have made it the most
explicit thing since the Declaration OF
Independence.

It may afford relief to students ofthe
Alabama question to learn that they
will not be obliged to read voluminous
reports of the proceedings at Geneva.
There is secretary, but no reporter.
No record is kept of the debates, the
consultations, the pleadings. Such
arguments as are in writing are Of
course preserved, and occasionally a
stenographer is called in to transcribe
some important oral plea. But the
duties of the secretary are to record
only such business as is actually done
that is to say, to register judgments
when they are completed. So the his
tory of the great Tribunal will be
mere skeleton of formal entries, while
the discussions, which are of the great
est Importance. will be lost. 1t is bare
ly possible that some modern Elliott
inside the Sale Marriages may take
notes from day to day, with view to
writing in the future careful history
of all the proceedings.

might be found in the fact that not one
of the opposition orators who deal so
prosusely in charges of corruption and
dishonesty, has uttered a syllable to Mr..
Gary's discredit.
His business training has given him
a peculiar fitness for managing the
treasury, and he is IN all respects the
man we need in that place. We have
no doubt Of his election and we con-
graduate ourselves, and our fellow
citizens in advance, on the prosfect of
an honest and capable administration
of so important an Office.

him as chairman of the committee for
doing that dirty work for Dennis,
which bill was vetoed by the Governor,

he will forgive me, for what was his

Now in conclusion, and to satisfy
s'Proprietor," we acknowledge the
receipt of $500 for freight on arms and

bilious projects, and leaves the State,

RECONCILIATION.

hECONClLIAllU
God bless you Sumner, for that word!
And may its utterance be heard
Above the din Of party strife,
Until our nation has new life
In Reconciliation.
The storm Of war has passed away,
And now there dawns brighter day
Let North and South, DER the abyss,
Join hand in hand and seek for this:
A Reconciliation,
From Maine to California's shore,
Let Brotherhood exist once more;
Reyengeful feelings banished far,
We look upon the blessed star
OF Reconciliation.
Did good e'er come from nursing long
A spirit of revenge for wrong?
Or can our wound e'er have balm
So healing as the potent charm
OF Reconciliation.
o, glorious sisterhood Of States,
Too long embroiled by fierce debates,
IT'S time to sheathc the yengeful sword,
And listen to the Wise Mans word:
Seek Reconciliation.
Our people love not TO obey
A Military Chieftains sway;
'Tis not in strong compulsion's school
That factions can he taught the rule
Of Reconciliation
With hopeful confidence trust
One who is honest, true and just;
For HORACE GREELKY is the man
Whose kind and gentle nature can
Bring Reconciliation.
