The Augusta Chronicle says the idea of
the Democrats Of the South identifying
themselves with the third party movement
aWill not meet with much consideration.
There are manias that come and go and
leave not 9 trace behind. This third
party idea is one of the craziest of the
brood. Il is worse than the greenback
sagitation that fourished for awhile and
> then died, because the sober, second
hs~of the people repudiated it.
There is no hope for the political saliva
Sstion Of the South and the country save
and and alone in the success Of Democratic
principles.

DIR. aR1FF1N,s REMOVAL.

The result of the investigation of the
Asylum, reported in these columns some
time since, has been that the Governor
has arbitrarily removed DR.. Griffin as
Superintendent, and appointed DR.. J. ".
Thompson temporary Superintendent.
Governor Tillman first requested DR..
Griffin to resign, and this being refused,
he displaced him. While the case of the
lunatic who was discovered with key
that would admit him to the female
wards was unfortunate, and is the strong.
est charge made against the Superinten-
dent that has been made public, it must
be remembered that at every hour of the
day and night guards and keepers we're
on duty in every part of the Asylum, and
it would have been we'll nigh impossible
for the lunatic to have visited any section
of the building and yet avoid discovery.
Still, he should not have had the key,
but that fact hardly proves that DR..
Griffin had been ''grossly negligent and
culpably careless in watching over the
unfortunate female patients" entrusted to
his care, as Governor Tillman claims.
The Governor says, ct alone am the
Judge to decide whether the charges
contained in the report of the investigat.
ing committee are true," and then offers
DR.. Griffin the privilege Of coming before
him and having his case tried. This DR..
Griffin very sensibly refused to do, de-
murring to the assumption of such abso-
lutte jurisdiction on the Governors part,
| and insisting that the case should be tried
by the Board of Regents, or by the SEN
ate on an impeachment as prescribed by
the Constitution, as we'll as to the fact
that it was evident the Governor had al
ready prejudged the case. It would have
been the merest farce to have gone
through the semblance of trial.
Governor Tillman claimed and exer.
cised autocratic authority in the case.
The friends of DR.. Griffin denied his right
so to do. Had the Doctor forced the
| Governor to resort to the Courts to remove
him, the question of Jurisdiction could
have been passed upon by the Courts,
and we believe it would have been found
that our Democratic government had not
vested such absolute prerogative in any
one man. Those of us who do not see
the matter as does Gov. Tillman think
DR.. Griffin should have resorted to the
Courts to determine the Governors juris.
diction, and his failure to do 30 will leave
the impression in some quarters that he
was afraid of too critical an examination
of his Office, which may have followed
such course.
Of course the Governor has the best of
the fight, but there are people in every
neighborhood in the State who will al.
ways believe Dr.. Griffin was faithful
and competent Superintendent, and has
been dealt with harshly and unjustly, and
that back of the whole matter some one
has an axe to grind, despite Gov. Till
mans protestations to the contrary.

THAT THIRD PARTY.

On Tuesday of last week 1417 delegates
/ met in Cincinnati, and before the meet
ling closed they formed new political
party and christened it the peoples
Party of the United States" and adopted
. q platform, which was a selection from
the demands" made by the conventions
at Omaha, st. Louis and Ocala. On q
call of the delegates it was found that the
Farmers Alliance, the Citizens Alliance,
stheG Knights of Labor and the Colored
Farmers Alliance were represented. The
: representation was not distributed evenly
over the country, for the FIVE States OF
Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio and
Indiana furnished 1O49 of all present.
New England and the South was not
generally represented. In all, the South
had thirty-six representatives in the
gsdSen.ion, as follows; South Carolina,
= IA negro); Louisiana, q; North Caro-
lima, / Texas, 26, and Tennessee, 6.
Senator elect PETER, of Kansas, was made
+ Chairman.
This action was surprise to no one.
As long as the government stands these
third parties will be formed, as was the
,Greenback party not many years ago.
Their career will likely be brief, as they
usually represent nothing so much as the
disafected individuals who compose
them,
We, of the South need no third party.
We are people whose interests are so
identical that We can all stand on the
same platform. The Democratic party is
long enough and broad enough to cover

Culp, of Sansford, came to town this
evening on the Georgia, Carolina and

Shirley, white, who brutally murdered
Thaddeus McFadden, merchant Of Fort

pears that Mr.. McFadden and Shirley,
who has been in the Asylum and is still
subject to fits of lunacy, have been out
for some years about Shirley's treatment
of his wife, who is McFadden's sister.
This bad feeling came near communicating
in difficulty last January, and led to the
affair of yesterday Mr. McFadden was
in his field, which adjoins that of Shirley,
and, not seeing him, absent mindedly
cleared his throat. Whereupon Shirley,
taking offence at it, began cursing him.
Mr.. McFadden, being angered, answered
in kind, and Shirley cried: ID you

he advanced upon him with knife. Nc.

MR.. GIESEKE'S STATEMENT.
His Transaction Appears to Have Bee
Perfectly Square.

His Transaction Appears to Have Been
Perfectly Square.
F. H. Gieseke, proprietor of the candy
store adjoining the Metropolitan Theater,
who was referred to in an item yesterday
as having refused to give up silver
locket belonging to q lady, tells differ
ent story to that related 10y. the police.
He says he was in restaurant with some
friends on Friday night, and among the
guests was one of the male actors con-
nected with the opera company.
The latter paid the waiter silver dol
lar, which the proprietor sent back, say
ing it was defective. The actor said he
had received it in change and supposed it
to be good coin. The proprietor of the
restaurant consented finally to keep it,
owing to its novelty, the piece consti-
tutlng locllet, with secret spring.
Mr.. Gieseke's attention being called to
it, he offered the proprietor 81 % for it,
and got it. He says that different persons
came to him the next day and tried to get
it, but he said he would not part with it
for less than s. so, as he considered it
worth that much.
On Saturday night, he says, q lady
member OF the company assured him that
the coin locllet belonged to her. She had
paid ii out by mistake in settling her bill
at the hotel, and in similar transaction
a male member OF the company received
it back in change. He in turn paid il to
the waiter in restaurant.
The lady told SO straight story, says
Mr.. Gieseke, that he at once gave the piece
to her, asking in return only the sum he
had paid for it, namely 81 %.
