WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-1he Rev. Aonzo Webster,
Of Orangeburg S. c.. presiding elder of the South
Carolina Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Is known In the North, and especially to
the readers of The TRIBUNE one of the most
stalwart friends Of the colored men in the South.
His position has been conspicuous that the bull
dozers though abusing him, have not ventured upon
personal violence against him, but quite recently
they have manifested strong disposition TO destroy
him by circulating scurrous reports affecting his
character. A few weeks ago The Charleston Netos
,sd Courier offered TO produce witnesses TO prove
hat Mr.. Webster, during his ministry over col
red church in Charleston several years ago, bought
lpumber of cheap watches, and announced from
Dis pulpit one day that a widow woman In the con-
Eegation was anxious TO dispose of the last article
Of value she possessed in order 20 relieve her press
ing necessities whereupon he exhibited one of his
cheap watches and sold it tor four or five times Its
value. pOcketing the proceeds. The imbeciIe in
ventor of this lie exposed its character by adding
that the trick repeated on several succeeding
SUNDAYS. Ibis story was coined for effect IN the
North. committee from one OF Mr.. Websters
quarterly conferences, called upon Ihe Nelcs ana
Courier and required retIactlon. paragraph

saying OF the committed, that They have satisfied

We have slender faith in Mr. Webster as teacher
either Of politics or pietv, we shall be very glad
to know that the unpleasant charges are wholly
Untrue, as his fellow churchmen seem convinced"

GOV. STONES DEFENCE OF THE
POCKET VETO.
From Pascagoula Star-Democrat

To the COMET printing establishment We
are indebted for a copy of Governor j. NJ.
Stones defence of the Pocket Veto of the
Barry Railroad Bill" which is a review of
the structures of the State Press, particu.
larly that of the Clarion's, upon the Gov.
ernor's actions in vetoing this bill. Gov.
Stone makes very good defDnce of his
actions in not signing tho bill and starts
out by few side licks at ''some of the
small newspapers" which is quite out of
place in his Excellency, and which is not
calculated to make him any friends by his
language.
There wore few papers in the State a
very few-that sandwiched their criticisms
of Gov stones pocket veto of this bill
with insinuations that there were improper
influences which inspired it that the Gov
ernor was probably remunerated by Rail,
road Companies to withhold his approval
These he does not condescend to notice,
and very properly expresses only contempt
for all such insinuations. The Governor
had no intention or desire to cast any re-
Election upon ''small newspapers" or large
ones either, but he did mean to express
perfect contempt for criticisms based upon
the idea that his action was even remotely
by such influences. We think
our fair minded cotemporary of the Gulf,
when he considers the enormity and gratui-
ty, and absolute insubstantiality of the
insult offered the Governor in reference to |
mis- action on this bill, by the newspapers
referred to, he will change his mind, and
consider the language employed as entirely
'in place" in characterizing it as he has.

How are They Going to Do 1t

To the Editor of the Comet
Suppozen de Greenbackcrs is elected,
> kin dey give us de forty dollars per capiter

and er mule, per capiter, which der Rada-
: kills promised to guv us? axes de kwest-
, chion ov you bekaso l nose dat you will tell
me dc Gods trout about it,
A KoLLERD KLopHoPPER.
ANSWER We "gladly embrace the oppor-
tunity" to enlighten our feIlowcitizen of
color. In the first place, the Greenbackers
so -called-of this State, are trying to
discover key to lock the stable after the
horse has been stolen. They are like our
old friend Okolona Harper, who waited
thirteen years after the great fight was al
justed, to get fairly mad. They restrained
their enthusiasm for initiation and their
deadly hostility to resumption until the
questions were settled. They began the
fun of cavorting around after the time had
passed when anything could be gained by
it. 'Suppozen" they were elected, could
| they do anything? No. Not continental
thing. They would have no more control
over the currency of the United States
than the little street gamns have over the |
public schools. And as to the $40 per
capita, which they glibly talk about if that
is the exact value of a per capita, it is de-
cided in advance that none of them will
ever be able to fall heir to enough of per
10 70 rir,1Nla tha aDp |
cy. This per capita doctrine of the Green
hackers is false and insidious. There is
not as much substance in it as there was in
the 40 acres and mule. If we were driven
to the wall, we would rather risk our
chances for opulence upon the 40 acres and
a mule promise of the Radicals than upon
the 40 dollars per capita inducement of the
Greenbackers. You colored men all know
exactly what per capita is, and you know
that the average per capita will not bring
forty dollars in the market. The Green
hackers are trying to pull tho wool over
your eyes on this per capita theory, We f
tell you plainly and emphatically that per .
capita is not safe reliance for meat and d
bread, even if you had one and the Greel-
hackers are the very men who indulge in
per capitas the least of any other class of
.eformers. In this respect they are very I
much like the ancient Devil who offered the
savior all the land in sight of Mount Pis- 81
,ah if he would only fall down and worship v,
lin, when it was notorious in that section II
hat the rascally old Devil didn't even have II
tax title to a single acre OF land in the
ntire State of Jerusalem. The Green
packers promise you forty dollars worth of N
,er capita, and scarcely one of them has a th
,er capita which would sell for $40, How II
hen is it possible for them to fulfill their N
'er capita promises You see that they a,
ant do it. They can't make corner in ca
er capitas unless they are able to control th
efficient amount of per capitas to bull the m
market, and as 1 have already shown they pc
re not extensive dealers in the genuine in
omm odity, and the few that they do con- sh
.ol are below par, it follows that they ca
kim not give you the $40 per capita if tai
ley are elected. lai
