., COLUMBIA, s. G., July o. The State
OF today publishes the following letter,
which is dated charlottesville, Va, and
is very ctUStjc:
in yOuc paper giving the account Of
the meeting in Columbia on the 4th
inst, | lind the following reference to
myself hN Governor TillmNn, and beg
you to allow me space enough in your
columns to show how absolutely false
are the statements made Ivy this man,
who never hcSi!a'Cs to resort to false
hoods when Speaking Of political oppo-
nents, o" 60 prom otc his own selfish per-
SOnal ends. shall take his statements
in the order they were made, aud |
shall convict him Of faISthOOd in regard
TO the first Uut Of his own mouth.
AT Aiken two years ago | said
Hampton ought 10 be in the United
state Senate forever, and that | WAS
willing for him to stay there"
"At hlkcn he refused TO ride in the
carriage with me-" ana yet, after my
having done 50, he that day, in his
speech, made the declaration as TO my
remaining in the Senate. Yet he now
gives that rs one reason why he Subse-
Quently opposed my reelection.
Now. As to the facts in reference to
my refusal to ride TO The meet nag in the
carriage with him: was the guest of
one Of the members Of the executive
committee, who had invited me to ride

accepted, us cOurteously informed

The Governor proceeds TO say, "But
he had no business to Interfere in this
