To tie E1zitor Of tie Ne,cs ana
Courier
Some days ago l received the fol-
lowing letter:
Hon. NJ. C. Butler, United States
Senator, Washington-My Dear Sir
The ,olitical situation in South2 Caro-
is very serious. desire to
otain from You an expression OF
your views upon what course the
nservative people of the State
,uld take to bring about the unity
and harmony OF the party, which was
so rudely broken by the unnatural
course of events in this State two
years ago.
shall be very much obliged If You
will cover the subject as fully as, in
your judgment, the importance OF
the issues to be discussed may require,
and wish that you would express
Your views without reserve. ! have
addressed a similar request to quite
numbe~ of prominent and intelli-
gent g,4tlemen in different parts OF
the State, and hope that you will
favor me with reply at your earli-
est convenience.
Yours very truly,
J. c. HEMPHILL,
Editor the Neacs and Courier.
Charleston, S. c., February 16.
Sharing with you the opinion that
''the political situation in South Caro-
liza is very serious and realizing
that it is my duty, with other citi-
zens of the State, to do what l can
to heal the breaches made in the
Democratic party and restore har-
mony and good feeling, shall reply
to your letter frankly and without
reserve.
In order to suggest a remedy it is
first necessary to ascertain, if posi-
bic, the cause or causes of the trou-
bic. We find the Democrats OF
South Carolina divided into three
parts or factions-those who sup
port the present State administration.
those who oppose it and express q
purpose to test their strength within
party lines, and those who oppose it,
but do not commit themselves to
action within party lines.
Now, to begin with, there is not
room in South Carolina for three
factions of the Democratic party
scarcely room for united, solid
party, confronted as it is by the com
mon enemy, the Republican party.
# the breach continues one OF
more of the factions will be absorbed
by the Republican party, or will
absorb it. This has been the expert
ence in almost every similar condi-
ton OF political parties, and there is
no reason to assume it will not be SC
in our case.
The question / would like to put
to every patriotic Democrat in the
State is this: "Would you be will
ing to see the Republican party IL
powe. in South Carolina again'in any
form?' Composed as it is of such
a large majority Of the colored race
could any increment from the white
race, with such controlling consti-
tuency Of the other, make it a safe
depository of the administration o.
the affairs Of the State?
The white Democrats of South
Carolina are not strong enough te

seven months and nineteen
days. He suffered excrucia.

that he wanted to be an angel,

No Fusion In Indiana.

indianapolis, March %
A proposition to pool the forces
of the Prohibitions and PEG.
pies party in Indiana in the
nomination of State, Congress.
ional and county tickets ad.
vanced some time ago, was
vetoed tonight at joint con.
ference of the Statd committees
of the Peoples party and Pro-
hibitionists. The principal OBJ
lection came from the Prohibi-
tionists for the reason that
lheir idea was ignored COM
pletely at the st. Louis conven-
ton, and another reason was
the fact that the calls have al
ready been issued for the State
of the two parties,
and a joint convention would
make it necessary to cancel
these calls and begin over.

Union Circuit Court.

The past week has been one
of rather peculiar proceedings
in the circuit court. James
Alvey was found guilty of sell.
ing liquor to a minor by a jury
but the judge set the verdict
aside and dismissed the case.
Ben Catlett, charged with muir
der, by his attorney plead
guilty as charged and was SEN
fenced to the penitentiary for
life. 1t is not often a plea of
guilty to murder is entered, but
when it il, it seems to us that
the murderer ought to be hung
if any murderer ought to be.
Lawrence Holt, for malicious
wounding, was found guilty
and given five years in the
penitentiary. If it had been
possible he would have received
a life sentence. The case of
Willard Hicks, charged with
also was out of the
orderof things. The defendant
was charged with murder,
plead guilty to manslaughter,
the evidence was heard and
without any argument the case
was submitted to the jury, who
returned a verdict fixing his
term in the penitentiary at two
years. The case against j. c.
for forgery will be
concluded tomorrow. This
week ends this term of the cir

A HUMAN OSTRICH.
Death of n Man Who had a Hard.
ware Store I'm His Stomach.

/ ST. Louis, March March : 2.55-There
died last night at the City Hos
pital a man, post-mortem ex-
animation on whose body to-
day revealed that the fellow
was an ostrich in human form.
His true name was John w.
German, but he was known in
the museums as John Kennedy.
March 81 he was admitted to
the hospital, suffering from me-
chanical gastritis. Eemetics
given him caused the election
of nearly a half pint of nails,
screws, etc. This failing to
relieve him, laparotomy was
performed, resulting in the re-
moval of as much more hard
ware, to no avail, for the man
died in a short time.
AT the post-mortem examina-
ton the stomach, it's walls and
lining were found entirely Nor.
NAL, but literally filled with the
nails, screws, lacks and broken
glass which the man had swal-
lowed. A remarkable feature
of their presence there was the
fact that none Of them were en-
and that was not one
instance of perforation in any
part of the stomach or throat
by the sharp, points or edges
Of these, substances. But, be-
from the base Of the
tongue back to the aesophagus
and from there entirely down
into the stomach, the nails,
lacks, glass, etc., were found.

Six hundred and fifty negroes
left Memphis this morning for
Oklahoma. They will make
the journey in wagons and on
foot. 1t is expected one thous-
and more will leave for the
same place Monday. The ex-
odns is not directly due to the
late lynching. The matter had
been talked of before, but the
lynching and the action of the
colored mass meeting advising
all who could to leave precipi-
tated it, and caused many to

On the c, ping on the side Of
the steps at the entrance are
two immense bronze lions,
copies of the famous lions at
the tomb of Clement XIII, st.
Peters, Ro ne, made by

Just inside and directly in
froM Of the vcstibule is tie
great stairway that leads 10
the main picture gallery.
The first object seen is a
seated statute Of Napolean ],
and just back Of it on the north
wall is portrait Of Mr.. Cor

wall at the right Of the entrance
is The Nestal ruccia, 81 by % |

aloft in both hands a sieve, and
prays: "Oh, powerful Goddess

In the background is the sea

man shows he is helped.
Near this is Joan of Arc il
