The Postal Savings Banks.
Inter Ocean .

The views Of the secretary of the
treasury, as set forth in the letter of our
correspondent published yesterday, up
on the subject of savings deposits with
postmasters and the issue of small
popular bonds, cannot be too soon acted
upon. In our judgment they are of the
most Immediately practical character,
afiording safety of deposit, and available
ity of use, to the great mass of the
people, which they not been able to
have heretofore. This is proposition
upon which all should unite. 1t will
aid most those needing aid, without in
juring others. 1t will bring our indebted
ness home, and in case of need afford
tangible substitute for deficient cur
rency.

The Ways Of Women.
New York Sun.

Let us note the ways Of some women
whose affections have been sighted, and
look at the story of Lewis and Beckwlth,
the faithless managing clerks of Rabbit,
the soap maker. Having been cast
aside by Lewis, the woman in this case
made advances to Beckwith that were
rejected. Thus doubly sighted, she
made known facts that have consigned
Beckwith, who, throughout his secret
peculation, had lived an outwardly,
blameless life for ten years, to striped
suit and cell, and may compel the
dashing Lewis to follow him.

Senator Gary's Explanation.

Senator Gary rose to a question of
privilege in the State Senate, and made
the following explanation of the above
article:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: ask your indulgence
for few moments while l avail myself
of the privilege accorded me as member
of this honorable body of repelling
charges preferred agaius. me by some
base traducer. lin the columns. of the
New York Times there recently appeared
an ingenious but mendacious and SLAM
derous attack upon the Hon. NJ. Q. But
ler, United States Senator from South
Carolina, and myself. 1t is not my Gus
tom to engage in newspaper controversy,
nor under ordinary circumstances would
I avail myself Of my privilege as a SEN
ator to meet on this floor accusations
made against me- by correspondents of
the Northern press; but the article re-
ferred to has been reproduced in the
National Republican, of the city of Wash
ington, and systematically distributed
among the members of this General AS
sembly by the instrumentality of its au
thor, or by some one equally unfriendly
and malicious. The same charges were,
during the memorable campaign of 1876,
with evil intent, published in the col
umns of the Union Herald; of Columbia,
S. c., then edited by the notorious carpet
Dagger, ]. G. Thompson, and owned in
greater part by.Daniel H. Chamberlain.
This paper was the acknowledged organ
of the Radical party of South Carolina
and the mouth-piece of that corrupt
leader. The authorship Of this vile
slander no one then doubted, nor could
the motive and spirit that prompted its
publication be questioned. That this
henchman of D. H. Chamberlain, en-
couraged perhaps by other evil designing
persons, is the author of this renewed
attack, am c-edibly informed and fully
believe. In reply 70 this malicious SLAM
der, beg to make the following state
ment of facts:
In the month CT April, A. D. 1871, the
Hon. NJ. c. Butler and were in the city
of New York. Shortly after our arrival
he was retained as counsel for Messrs.
L. d. Childs, j. p. Southern, J. B. Pal
mcr, F. w. McMastcr, of South Carolina,
and VIM. f. Everett, of the city of New
York, the three first named gentlemen
being at that time presidents of banks in
the city of Columbia, S. G. On the day
after employing General NJ. c. Butler,
Messrs Childs and Southern in behalf of
themselves and others, also retained me
as associate counsel. The enterprise in
which these gentlemen were about to en-
gage, as we were then informed, was the
purchase of o. large amount of bonds Of
the State of South Carolina, the market
value of which was ut that time depressed.
Their purpose in employing counsel was
to secure our advice in selecting che class
of bonds for investment. and to have us
to represent them in or out Of court in
all dealings Herewith which might re-

EELL.-There are preacher, in Eng
land as we'll rs in America, nowadays,
declaring themselves disbelievers in hell:
No one has right to discard any part of
the Word of God. # hell does not ac-
tually literally exist, then there is no
heaven, and the Bible is mere myth.
1t is very pleasant doctrine to some peo-
pie to discard hell and advocate heaven.
There would be no justice TO the upright
and pure if they were placed upon an
equal footing after death with the wicked
and depraved. Heaven itself would
then be hell. The beautiful life of
Jesus, and the immortal teachings OF
His apostles and followers will never be
blotted from the face of the earth by all
the ingenuity and skill of men. But the
true ministers of the Truth will have to
.fortify themselves and combat the errors
of infdelity that are even trying to creep
in the very church OF the Most High.
With lightning speed do the errors and
false teachings Of men spread over the
world. Men love falsehood, it seems,
better than truth. What wickeduess,
what blackness, what darkness, what
corruption, what rotteness, what death
turks in the hearts of men who seek to
undermine the religion of Christ Com

Put them in boiling water and set the
vessel on the hearth and let it remain
seven or eight minutes. This will cook
the egg clear through, just as it ought
to be, without hardening the white near

This promise TO cooperate with Butler
and Gary was written six days after they
had made and signed the agreement
printed above. 1t is matter of record
that Chamberlain did cooperate with his
Democratic allies. The bull resolutions
were put through the Tax-Payers' Con-
vention by the united agency of these
precious statesmen, and although the rise
in bonds was less than they had hoped,
it was sufficient to pay Butler and Gary
a good sum III percentages.
