'Tacit Understanding the
New Name tor it.

Capt. Benjamin r. Tillmau is out
IN another letter to the Ne,a.s aad Co@-
;'jer, OF Friday. in which he indignant
ly denies the soft impeachment con-
cerning the sweet little combination
thas is claimed by some never to have
existed. and by others to have evap-
Grated, in Columbi., like full blown
soap bubble, noiselessly and harmless
y before the representative manhood
ana common sense Of :Lo State Il
lie had stopped here, all would have
been we'll; but unfortunately for The
yinlication of injured innocence, he
proceeds with q f-ankncss that is
:c;.ild-like and bland to admit that
after tie little tt3e-G-t,te at the Globe
iotsi in Augusta, he and Capt. I. W.
Dawson parted with the ''teci! mtter-

''Itaciic ,n3ller&i0ndtan' is certainly a
new name for combination, but new
erthelcsS, It does very well. II fact,
It is surprisingly vol! put, for a poi
itician wDo brags enc moment that
he is Il zone gallus man: AID howls
the next moment for the trusteeship
OF an agricultural College. Some
people think however, that While you
greatly.desire tho trusteeship, you
would still more highly appreciate
the Office Of Commissioner of Agri-
cultGre Possibly, this is mistake,

en}er>iQndi"g' These are good
terms, so beautifully comprehensive,
so indefinite, 50 appropriate. One
was to :.Qdcycate 0nG Uy2' the estab-
ishmeut OF an Agricultural College,
and tic other was to take t.. bact
track OF the Citadel without any ref
erence to union Of forces for any
special candidate, and the remarkable
har:ao2y OF action between tie CON-
tracing parties to the "J@.:i st,se'::-
~m5d5ny," both before and during tic
session OF the State convention, was
Of course, ''p'uY!y accldental, in fact,
,2ere coincidence. Dear Moses,
your explanation is ingenious if not
ingenious, and you certainly deserve
tie first diploma conferred at your
Agricultural College, acheaecer 1t Is
foua9ed, Cor the Ingenuity of your
terms and the profandity of your
craftsmanship. Your explanation of
tie 'pu9'c'p acclde.dot' voting togeth-
er, is refreshing and amusing if not
convincing, though it affords another
remarkable proof of the old adage
that great minds run in the same
channel. With no desire to heat Or
irritatc 50 mighty and successful an
aeitator, We must beg pardon for sug-
gesting that you are making tre-
menGous hullaballoo to very little
purpose, and the sooner you suppress
yourself and retire to your accustom-
ed ayocat;ons, the more the pub
lie will esteem and admire you. It is
time 10: you to let up on the much
abused lawyers and country ed
itors, who wish you no harm, but out
of the kindness Of their hearts would
sdvise you to brace up like little
man, button OF your other galluS, go
home and plant your fall turnips, and
see after the picking of your cotton;
for sure as a gun" if you don't look
sharp, somebody vii be after You
next winter with demands that you
can't satisfy, when you will utter the
plaintive wall of the ''little startling"
which you so pathetically described
at TIE Farmers Convention. Il c0't
