whether he is man at all or not, SO far

Withdrawing from the canvass for the

Ing card:
GREEMyILLE, S. @, Aug. 10, 1880.
Afr. Editor /: The following article ap.
peared in Jour Issue of this date, viz:
Several Of our State exchanges are
remarking on the ambiguous language Of
ex-Judge Cookies card Of withdrawal,
and some OF the people Of Greenville are
also asking what he meant. II is mat
ter Of taete and discretion, but IL seems
TO ua that IL would be advisable for
several reasons for the Judge to rise and
explain"
While an greatly obliged to you for
the kindly suggestion, that / should "rise
and explain" you will permit me to say
it is matter of perfect indifference TO
me as to what construction the Estate ex-
changes" or "some of the people of
Greenville" may place upon my "card of
withdrawal" as a candidate for re.elcc-
ton to the Legislature-and this will
ever be 80, unless, per chance, they
should think or tell the truth OH me.

many sins, both of commission and omis.
sion TO answer for, and indulge tho
hope that the Estate exchanges" will, ut
an early day, discover that they would
be acting in gocG "taste" and sound
discretion" to call it to account for its
misdoings and short comings before they
undertake to nrraign private citizens.
am, very truly,
THOMPSON H. Cooke.
We would like for the Judge to tell us
what are the sins of omission and COM
mission Of which the Democratic party is
guilty, aud ut the same time to tell us if
any otner party is likely 10 do any better.
We are awo:e that the Judge is trying TO
dodge, but we would like for him to be
man enough now to speak out his real
continents. If the Democratic party is
bad, tell US wherein it is so, and show us
how it can be bettered. We apprehend
that the worst feature about the party in
Judge Cookies eyes is thet it will not
elect him to Office.

Tho Testimony In the Ggeenyilie and
Columbia Railroad case has been closed,
and che second moitgage bondhoIders
hare clearly established the facts as set
forth in the Masters report, to The effect
that the road was erroneously knocksl
down to Hon. w. Q. Courtenay at the
bid of ~, $4,000, as Mr.. Cummings
bid a lerser SUN before the sale was
closed. It is true that the Clyde
syndicate also proved by a number Of
gentlemen that they did not hear the
higher bid, but iha. is negative testimony,
and cannot avail unless the testimony of
those witnesses who assert thet they
heard the higher bid is dlsbelieved. Tn
this case their testimony cannot be dis
believed, and hence It is pretty safe to
predict that the sale will either be con.
frmed at the second bid Of 50, 93O, 600,
or q resale Of the property ordered. It
is well woEb the last price, end it is but
justice to tho eecond mortgage bond
holders that tie second,bid should stard.
