AS Senator Butler stepped to the

address proper aud as somewhat eX-
planatory he said:
Young Gentlemen of the Literary
Societies When you did me the honor
to invite me some months ago to de-
liver the address to night to the two
societies of Newberry College | prom
ised myself that l would select sub
ject different from the one upon which
I now propose to speak. / mean to be
perfectly frank with you and do not
propose to appear under false coiors.
L am afraid that the subject l have
selected will not be interesting to the
ladies, for upon occasions Ike these
the speaker is expected to select some
subject of a purely literary character.
I must, however, ask the ladies of New
berry to bear with me and remember
that the last six months Of my time
up to the 4th March, might say
for the last twelve months-has been
so engrossed by questions relating to
my official duties that l really have
not had the time to prepare myself on
the subject [ had chosen.
l am also afraid that I am in the
position that Gov. Vance found him
self in one occasion in North Caroiua.
He had prepared speech for one of
his brilliant campaigns that he in
tended to deliver to every audience,
but some enterprising gentleman Of the
fraternity got the drop on
him." took his speech down in full and
it was published before he met his
appointment and he found himself
confronted by his speech i'll the news
paper.
Now I delivered this same speech
last night at Greenville and although
it has not appeared in full am some
what in the position of Gov. Vance,
but | nuke this statement IN Difference
to you gentlemen who have done ME
the honor to invite me to address you.
His speech was forcibly spoken from
and was mainly directed
in presenting the rights Of the minor
