The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1875-01-01

D. G. ByerIy, manager of the New Or
leans Bulletin, by ex.Gov.' Warmotb.
was published yesterday. His attack
upon Warmoth was caused by the in.
tense fesling engendered in bis office
by the controversy between Warmoth
and the editor, Mr.. Jewell. The fol-
loving extracts from the Bulletin, aud
from Warmoth's reply, show the cause
Of the trouble. The Bu'letin. in a re.
cent article, said of Wa-moth:
"Immediately upon the occupation
OF the Executive chair he ounningly
devised laws investing him with powers
greater than those exercised by any
potentate of Europe. X

the kequisite means for sustaining that
dignity, elegance and style which his
exalted position demanded. His fer

ooct measures for filling his pocket in

ing into his Golfers it is not surprising
that ere the close OF his term of Office
he could boast of his millious 6lohed
from the people whose interests he had
sworn to protect.
Having ohtainei nov all the
money aud power he desirsd-in fact,
everything his heart could wish, save
social recognition--he set to work as
slduously to gain tn It most precious
boon which had been denied to him
on all sides and from every quarter.
HIS money could not purchase this
privilege, and his political power
avaiied him nothing in the accom- plish-
ment OF his cherished object The
idea suggested itself, then, that he
wonld make amends for his past cor.
rnpt and Infamous management Of the
State Government by offering to the
white people TO turn over TO them the
future control OF their State.

to his seductive proposals. the great
mass indignantly rejected his over

every diubolical act that disgraces the
statute book OF this State, and he is
the individual whom the people should
and do hold responsible for all the

long suffered"

ply to the above was published O yer
