declines to become q candidate for re-

This decision is made hy Col. Aiken
on account Of declining health and will

THE OFFICE SCISSORS.

In taking charge Of the MESSENGER
this week, we asked the "Devil' in
charge for the office scissors. when he
went to a drawer and got them out.
Both points are broken off and both
finger holes on the handle had almost
disappeared, having only a projecting
prong on each IN which to fastcn the
the thumb and finger when clipping the
cream Of the exchanges. We hope that
next Christmas some philantropical

Editorial Correspondent.

PROVIDENCE. r. L., May IL, 1886.
DEAR MESSENGER: Here ! am in the
very midst Of Yankee land and. I am glad
to be here.
My trip by way Of Augusta and
Savannah to Boston and here was vel
pleasant. When we reached Savannah
Mt 5 O'Clock p. NJ. on the 9th instant, the
city was alive with soldiers and citizen
visitors. The unwilling Of the Monu-
ment to General Greene was in progress
and our route from the depot to the wharf
was interrupted by the passing Of hun
dreds Of gaily uniformed troops, bands
OF music and host of citizens. The
booming Of canon was almost incessant.
MI. Davis was present and n sight of
him was sufficient to raise a shout. We
embarked on the Gate city, a splendid
steamer Of the Boston & Savannah
Steamship Company Line. At $50
p. m. Us we steamed down the bay the
city was illuminated by the magnificent
display Of fireworks, and she shouts of
the multitude were borne to our eors
amid the putting Of our monster boat. The
GGte Ctty is a splendid ship and the
ofhcers are as attentive and kind as pos
sible. Our voyage was without special
note, except that on the second night
out off Cape Hatteras we encountered
some rough weather, and tossed and
tumbled in u berths. If any body
abroad that boat had been signing for
"a life on the ocean wave and a home
on the rolling Deep" he must have been
a glutton IL he was not satisfied with
the rolling he got that night.
There were but few Southerners
aboard, the majority Of the cabin pas
sengers being Northern people return
ing from Florida. They were an ex-
ceedingly pleasant set Of people and /
never met more pleasant attention from
any body.
The ride up Boston Bay in the early
morning of the 10th was delightful.
ASIDE from the view Of the city, We had
aciose view Of the objects Of interest
along..the shores of the Bay. On Deer

A Card from Col. Aiken.
CoKEsBURY, s. G. May 18th 1886.


Editors Of Messenger:
Lntterly l have received numerous
letters from avowed friends, enquiring
whether it was my purpose to~snter the
approaching canvass as a candidate for
reelection to Congress. Justice to
them and others demands that | should
make my determination known. Nv
health at present is so precarious that I
can venture nothing upon the future
and have therefore concluded not to
enter the canvass at all.
But n word to the Democracy of
the third district, and it shall be but q
single word.
GRATITUDE! GRATITUDE!
A dictionary Of words linked togeth.
er in nicely polished sentences would
not more accurately express my graft
tndc for their repeated manifestations
of confidence than does this simple
word itself. l have tried to serve them
satisfactorily. if I have not done 30, ]
hope they will attribute it to inability
for | AIN sure my every effort so to do
has been performed with an eye single
to the faithful discharge of duty.

YStStA z n time that the people ct the
United SStatea were opening their eyes
kN1 b acts and conduct Of our national
EaSW-aaakcrs il they expect to hold our
government together and keep it up to
whatiit has been. It is dangerous to
any government to teach the people to
rely upon It for aid in ansncial matters.
by numerous measures already passed
by congress and others that are in pro.
gresss tending in this way, the situation
ssis becoming alarming indeed. Besides
i 80 doing congress is assuming pre-
negatives and powers without any
check that some day will cause trouble.
Congress does not wait for charitable
measures to be brought to it's attention,
but in its great do-nothingness and idle
ness it ia going still further and in it's
great wisdom. seeking about ovcr the
country for objects Of charity upon
Whom to lavish che peoples money,
segnever mind whether in so doing it
goes contrary to our constitution or not.
SsIhis constitution is fast becoming Oh
E~Ssasolete in it's operation and seems to be
Ssiookaed upon as a gaudy figure head,
@Sbgn which, when occasions present
p~selves, such men as Sherman, Ed
DIS and some of our Southern Con-
emen, are accustomed to make very
ing and rhetorical illusions. While
5ch measures as the Blair Educational
~ might aid in diffusing education and
e individual citizens might be aided,
precedent to he established
dangerous. If there is any doubt
g66ut the constitutionality Of this and
like meaures, we had betrer not tamper
with it, Before such measures are
passed, let the constitution be amended,
so.as to give congress the undoubted
laEtght to do 30 and then we can enioy
,some security. II we are not mistaken
bthe NesOs and Courier some time since
tied IS : proof of the constitutionaiity
nv the Blair bill that a majority OF the
Il Senatqrs in Congress had voted for the
/ passage of this bill. In onr opinion,
this is next to 10 proof, but it js upon
l such proofs that the friends of this
Il IslPFeasnEe rely. There is too much petty
Politioal scheming and too little real
ftatesnanship in that body for us to
place any faith in it's Judgment on the
eonstitutionality of any measure. We
/ ar.e drifting onward in a dangerous cur.
rent thst will dash US ovor rocks and
shatter pnr ship Of State before we are
aware Of it.
The b citizens must support the govern
ainaent and not the government the citi-
zen. Any reckless handling Of the con-
stitutinal powers Of a government like
enrs is attended with much danger. 1t
is time to eall 2 halt and the sooner the
better:
