WAsIINGTON, Jan. 7.-Chairman
Webster's call for the meeting of his
State committee of the defunct g. o. p.
for the 7th instant has occaSioned quite
a stir among the braves of the "bread
and butter brigade" from South Caro-
lima now in Washington. They claim
the coming address of Webster will
knock the spots out of j. Hendrix Nc
Lane, Vice President CLAYTON and the
Rev. II. w. Memminger's side show of
the G. o. p its address and the call for
the State Convention April 12, in Co.
lumbia.
Tom Miller was questioned on this
subject last night in the lobby of the
| metropolitan Hotel, but he refused to
discuss the matter further than to say
he would not attend the meeting Of the
Webster. cunningham and Nfillers
committee on the 7th. While Tom was
reticent, one Of his lieutenants, near by,
talked quite freely, and his conversa
tion, though unique, was interesting.
Said he: Congressman Miller will not
| attend the meeting of the executive
committee on the 7th. You see IT
twant for dat McLane address, cussin'
! all we good, true Publicans, Miller
would done resign him place on de
Webster committee but he is 'fraid if
he resign now him act will help dat
McLane gang, en- dey is down on ebry
good kullud Publican in de State. You
see" he continued in his peculiar dia
lect, "Latruph is using de dist torney
Office as de ingine Of suppression on my
race. A kullud man hab no show in
de 'Niteu States Court"
The Millerite lighted a very poor
cigar. and continued: congressman
Miller say SO. He say if 'tWant for
Judge Simonton de Lawd knows what

! mau say dat dare is not one publican in
de torney Office, dat de Office full ove
boy. when da is SO much good man dat

De last BOY who de dist torney put in

"DOnt you know John Cochran ~ he
asked IL aStonishment. "Why him il
