CAUSE OF THE FIRE While in Co.
lumbia and Charleston last week we wero
somewhat rudely attacked by some prom
inent Republicans, in consequence of
our stating that the late fire in this town
was "a political fire." It was industri-
ously reported in those cities that the
fire originated from pile of lime lying
near the building first discovered to be
on fire. We have no hesitancy in pro-
nouncing this report false, and We be-
lleve was started to cover up the iniamy
OF the act. Twelve witnesses, most OF
them colored persons. and Republicans,
were examined by the Town Council,
tho day after the fire occurred, and ali
Of them testified that the fire was an
incendiary act. There was no pile Of
lime lying outside of tho building
where the fire was first seen; but if such
a pile had been there, rs no building or
work of any kind in which limo is used
had been done there for many months,
and none in contemplation, common
sense teaches that the heavy rains of the
past winter would have made the limo SO
exposed perfectly harmless.
Threats have often been made to
"burn tho ID rebel' and ..d-d
Democratic town of Union" and three
attempts to commit the hellsh act have
been discovered and frustrated, within
the past eighteen months. It is also u
peculiarly suspicious fact that each at
tempt WAS made within fifteen minutes
of the same hour a o'clock) in the morn
ing. The time of night, direction OF the
wind and the spot selected for the torch
OF the late fire, were all peculiarly favor
able for wholesale destruction, and we
hopo tho fiend who planned and exccut-
ed tho deed has satiated his thirst for re
venge, and his malice toward the citi-
zons Of Union is satisfied. = Union Times
THE OLDEST MASON. This gentleman
exists in the greatest abundance. His
last appearance is in Orangeburg, Ms
will be seen by the following paragraph
from the Orangeburg Times: "Wo are
advised that Mr.. Peter Rowe, who lives
within five miles of our village, was
made Mason in 1909, and has conse.
quently been Mason for sixty-two or
slxty-three years. Further, if he sur
vive till June next, he will have com
pleted l0l years of ago. He is, we be-
lieye. still active and hale. Can any
where beat this?''

What Were They.

In an article. yesterday, upon the
duties of journalism which was O string
OF old newspaper platitudes set forth in
the garrulous style that marks the
mighty productions of the genius across
the wny-there was statement in re-
gard to this paper which we would be
glad to see how that virtuous organ can
verify. We are accused of dealing in
slanderous personalities against the can
didates of the Union in the recent city
election, ''and. says tho Union, when it
was demanded that these charges be
made specific, and that they be proven
or take the consequences, it became as
silent as the grave and as gentle as suck
ing dove" It is not very comprchensi-
bio how charges can be made to "take
the consequences. But passing by the
ludicrous grammatical blunder, by which
the scholar OF the Union has involved
himself in this absurdity, We call upon
him to mention if he can single charge
that VIC have made against him or any
other candidate in the late city election,
and when called upon to prove it or to
take the consequences we we're ''as silent
as the grave and as gentle AS sucking
dove" We take it that the facts of the
case, like The sucking dove" exist only
in the imagination Of the erudite editor
that penned the article. But how utter
ly dead to shame and to self-rcspect
must that man be who. in the very act of
dilating upon the beauties of truth, in
dulgcs in the most baseless fabrications.

GENERAL LoNGsTREET. Tho New
York World says of this (now) notorious
individuals: The late surveyor returns to
private life with none of tho elcat and
sympathy which attended q similar act
of his about seven years ago. His af1ili-
alton with the Radical party has brought
him no honors worth comparing with
the esteem and affection felt for him by
the respectable part of tho community
previous to 1865. He has had his mess
of pottage. but he has sacrificed his self
respect and peace of mind. I had some
curiosity in coming here to ascertain the

friends pass him on the street without
recognition, and society has closed it's
doors upon him. The people say, in ex-
planation, that they have no feeling
against any man because he is Repub-
lican per Sc; but here is ono of their own
citizens who has deliberately leagued
himself with the thieves who have been
plundering the State and reducing them
to beggary. He has been the associate
and ally OF the carpet -baggers and
savaRes who have perpetrated outrages
on subject people almost unparalleled in
history. Furthermore, he has solicited
and taken Office With, and therefore has
been one of the leaders Of, the plunder-
ers, even il hs has not shared in the
plunder. This is sufficient, in the esti-
nation of the Louisiana whites, to Jus.
tify the punishment OF General Long.
