The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1878-10-03

don't belong to the same party"
Meantime John Mclean, son of
the old manager, pays very little
att ention to his fathers hobby, ex-
cept incidentally to accede to it.
"I don't publish Greenback
paper" he says, crisply. II give all
the news Here'a tho bill of fare
you can find anything on it from
soup to raisins"
George Pendleton always meets
an opponent more than half way
he has many kinds of property and
is tho director of q bank, formerly
national, which has changed its
charter, however.
Tho Greenback scheme has
cheated every politician in Ohio
who ever sought to turn it to per-
sonal advantage. Pendleton took
up originally that branch of the
scheme which asserted the inten-
ton of the five-twenty bond act to
be the payment of their interest in
greenbacks. Hon. Edward Nc
Pherson, of Pennsylvania, told me
in 1867 that it was the correct view,
and the payment Of the interest in
gold an assumption and an AFTER
thought. II Mcpherson has for
gotten it, 1 have not. He said it to
me in the Office of tho Clork of the
House Of Representatives. John
Sherman winked at the same view
in 1867, in order to beat the
Democrats at Congressional elec~
ton. Sherman seems to have no
conscience at all on the money
subject, and it is equally strange
that such weak creature as Hayes
should have been the hero of the
battle which whipped Bill Allen,
and appeared, for time, to have
settled the Greenback controversy.
General Garfield said to me, however,
returning from that campaign {:
"Nothing is more delusive than that
the Greenback chimera is buried ;
it has enough vitality to give us
trouble for years to come"
ALLEN AND EWING.
Bill Allen was in high dudgeon
with his nephew, Allen Thurman.
for failing to give him stalwart
assistance with the greenback uues-
ton and support him for the Presi-
dency in 1876. Allen is rich
farmer and herder with a voice like
a herald. He is dogged enough to
believe the greonback gospel fully.
Tom Ewing is inferior in the world
~ sagacities to all these men. He
is just ignorant enough to go furth-
er than any of them. There is
plenty Of him about the whole
school.
Allen, Pendleton and Ewing are
liberal men in wish and action.
Thurman is selfish; and is accused
Of being a social toady, yet his
ability is so superior, being broad,
based and rooted in the law, that he
is the greatest acquisition the
Greenbackers have yet made, and
has got long way the start of his
compeers on the Presidency. Like
Saul, of Tarsus, who prosecuted the
Christians, he now takes precedence
of the Greenbackers at kingly seats,
and Nc Lean says he will be nomi-
mated for the Presidency, unless
Tom Ewing and others get up a
row and Butler slips in. Pendleton,
also, is inclined to take up his SER
vices for st. Greenback. In point
of hero worship evory one of these
men must defer to Butler, who
possesses the Rupert qualities, as
kearney says. Tom Bayard is
coming into prominence as the only
anti-Greenbacker who is not scared
worth a cent. Perhaps, as Ben
Willis told me last night, the ticket
of the future will be Butler against
Bayard.
A JUDGE Who Purs ON AIRS. -
Judge Beck even carried his whim
of professional propriety SO far as to
prohibit swearing in court, and is
said to have fined a lawyer who
sworo. at witness during his CROSS
examination. Another popularity
of this judge is q dislike of seeing
attorneys, when arguing case
before him, pass around bottle of
whiskey, and he is said to be violent-
iy opposed to lawyers treating the
jury to drinks while trial is in
progress. Judge Beck is said to
have violated common decency by
refusing to proceed with case
until the attorneys engaged in it
should put out their pipes and a
