unusually refreshing, and has kept us
III good humor the whole week. We
must therefore lastcn to reciprocate
some of the courtcsies SO graciuusly
extended.
1t will be remembered that scvera
weeks ago certain questions were
propoundeG TO us in the columns of
that raTcr rejecting upon the cdito-
rial management Of the ZINES We
took no cfltnsc whatever at the eli
qnlrlcs and insinuatons, but set 20
work in the hest lumor TO answer
them and throw all the light wo
could Oh the subject We stated
facts as we know them, but Of course
We did not ask he oditcr Of the
D'mocrat to hold:our pen. 1t seems
however that our answer is not salts
factory to our neighbor, ana that we
must have lii sonlcw here by the wa,
the target shakes.
1t is claimed by the editor of the
D'mocrdt that we event out Of our
way" iii ai'uiing to Boiivcrs pub
Ashed statement year ago that he
paid the wages Of the editor Of the
DtmocrW for editing for him last
year. But i'll this we differ with Our
nclghbor. The very interrogati ons
to us, to say nothing Of the secret
whisperings which have reached our
ears, show that there was confusion
IN the public mind as to who was
IN alliance with Boliver, and as we
seemed to be accused, we t Ii ought-it
proper to give tho best light we kne IS
upon the subject, which was Boliyers
own statement, thinking that he m st
know best whom he employs or pa, 8.
We alluded to it as u IN after Of fact
as no deniol of it had ever appeared
"A t this late day however, nearly
year afterwards, the editor of the
Democrdt puts i'll denial, asserting
that Gen. Izlar paid his wages and
not Boliver. Upon this Air. Boliver
sends card to the Dcmocruf, pub
lishcd elsewhere, in which he reitcr-
ates his statement of January last.
that he paid the wages Of the editor
OF the Democrat, giving the money to
Gen. lzlar, who paid it over to him.
declaring that Gen. Izlar Cannot
and will not deny that it is true
bollYer further states that the fund
OF the paper were never in the han ds
OF the Court, and that "thcre never
was moment from the time he
bought the paper "to the time he
sold 1t, January 1st 1879, that" he
"did not control its finances" him
self, receiving and paying out al
moneys and making all contracts"
No receiver was ever appointed in
the case, and Gen. Izlar was only the
Counsel both Of, Boliyer and the

Here. we leave the matter with the
public, as it concerns the people only
80 far as it throws light upon the
history ofthe past, and ilumines the
pathway of the future.
Welcome now. to Tie second point
Of attack in the Democrat, which was,
that we brought to the notice of the
public the fact that that paper was
mortgaged to Alonzo Webster in
order to I'M ure its business. Our
best answer to this chargs.,of imp ro-
priety is to quote what we did say,
which is rs follows !:
"To insnuatc that The TIMES, he
cause it was bought from George
Boliver, would in any way shield
him when he requires blow, is as
n'yust as to suppose that the Orange
burg Drmocr"t would be untrue to
Democracy because it happens TO be
m"rigag.d .u. Alonzo Webster"
We therefore plainly said that it
was m'y"st to ccnsurc on this score. Ii
seems however, from The unusual hut-
terjng, that this must have been II
tender point with our ncighbor. 1t
is little singular that our ncighbur
was.notsso considcrate Of us when it
allowed insinuations to 30 into its
