MEssRs. EDIToEs.-On the night
Of April lst, at Bartlsy's Spring
Academy, the club known as Rine.
hart No. l. was called together for
reorganization. Mr. T. Z. Harris
who has discharged the duties OF
President of the club for two years,

Black, N. Britt and spann Lake. Ez-
eeutive Committee.
This reorganization was effected
without reference to local issues,
without reference to stock law or
anti.stoek law. We can afford to
differ on local questions, but we can
not allow these differences to iuAu-
ence our action when our enemies
the enemies Of all that freemen hold
dear--are banding together to rob a5
Of our God-given rights.
Rinehart No. has been, and is, As
majority, anti.stock law, but still
they are Democratic, and no paltry
disafections will be allowed 10 inhu.
ence the actions of singl, man.
They are stilLtrue to principle, and
when the campaign of 50 opeas, and
the day Of election comes, Rinehart
No. ! will make up record thai will
be in keeping with the splendid rec.
Ords Of '76. '79 and 80, thereby Civ
ing the emphatic lie to any insinua-
tions that may have been thrown out
by uDprincipled, sore.headed, aspir.
ing demagoguee. There is no room
tor bolters, Independents, Radicals
and other cattle Of their liz, in this
club. Our motto is: straignt-out
Democracy and White Supremacy

The death Of two distinguished
Americans in the world Of letters, on
Friday, the Oath March, will throw q
pail Of sadness over The entire coun.
try. We refer to that of the great
American poet, Henry W. Longfel-
low, which occurred in Boston, and
of Col. W. T. Thompson, the author
of "Maior Jonea's Courtship," so long
the editor of the Savannah Morning
News. Both were distinguished gen.
tlemen, had reached green old age,
and their memories will long be
cherished by their fellow men in
America.

Senator Butler Overhauling
Brewster.

In the G. 8. Senate, on Tuesday
the 18th March, Senator Butler said
I submit the following resolution,
and ask for its present consideration :
Resolpea, That the Attorney gen
eral of the United States be, and he
is hereby, directed to forward to the
Senate copy Of his letter Of in
structions to Dallas Saunders, Esq,
of Pennsylvania, assistant counsel to
the district attorney of South Caro-
lima, under date March l6, 1882, and
the reply Of Mr.. Saunders thereto.
Mr.. Presi dent, my purpose in intro
ducing the resolution is that ! have
seen in the public printe y ."t pnr-
porte to be sopv o. :. letter from
SSbs si9SSaEf Afr. Saunders, ! SC Esrfs' S1fss
III and SO unusual for an off,
.sl Of such high position in the Gov
ernment Of the United States that l
can scarcely credit it, and l desire
to have from him, over his own sig
nature, an exact copy Of the instrnc-
tions which be is said to have sent
to this gentleman employed as assis-
tant counsel 10 the United States dis
trict attorney in South Carolina. That
is my object in asking for the pas
sage Of the resolution now.
The resolution was considered by
unanimous consent, and agreed to.
In accordance with this resolution.
Brewster's correspondence was sent
to the Senate on the 3lAt. Senator
Butler could not then get time to
speak on it, and will have to wait IN
til he returns from Charleston to do
so.
He is now ia Charleston for the
purpose Of taking part in the de-
fence Of our political prisoners.

In answer to the special question
Of the Senator from Delaware, | de,
sire to say that the House Of Repre-
sentatives has, in numerous instances,
made snch allowances, under peculiar
circumstances, to persons whose title
to their seats was vindicated; and in
two recent instances the Senate has
united with the House in passing
Acts Of Congress, in one of which
there were some eight or len old cases
which had occurred several years be-
fore in former Congresses, where the
Senate passed an Act allowing to the
persons to whom the seats were
awarded, under these special eircnm-
stances, the expense Of vindi,ating
their title.

low to the unsuccessful man, the man
who turned out to be in the wrong,

dition to The ordinary duties Of his
place, is obliged to conduct this vex,

who turns out to be in the right, a
