PONDER, THIRD PARTY MEN Atlanta,
Ga, March h29.--Congressman Lawson, rep
rcsenting the Sth district through . Farm
ers' Alliance nomination. in answer to in
quiries as to how he would stand on the
Third Party, writes:
"While DO not question the sincerity of
our nIends OF Tie Third Party cam OF
avoid the conviction that they may postpone
for years the relief which they seek by Grip
pling the only party through which that
relief can come. But, let me ask, what
harm has that party ever done them? Every
intelligent person will admit that tho Repub-
lcan party has done them much harm and
has attempted still greater harm.
every candid man will admit also that
the Democratic tariy has done him no harm,
but, on the contrary, has done much good in
repairing the evils of reconstruction, in
assuring the dominance Of the AngloSa1on
race. in reducing the expenses Of govern
ment, in subordinating military to civil law,
in reducing taxation by their persistent op-
position to its increase, in restoring every
where an orderly and tranquil civil admin
istra'ion, and in proving the incalculabis
dangers Of two attempting force bills.
These achievements ought to commend
the Democratic party to the earnest. support
of every Southern man."

THE STATE WINS THE CoosAw CASH
wasulngton, April 4.-The Supreme Court
Of the United States to-day affirmed the
judgment of the Circuit Court of the
United States for the district Of South Care
lima in favor of the State of South Carolina
in it's suit against the C9osaw M;aius Csm-
pany.
This is case of g. cat importance to the
State. and involves its right to control the
phosphate rock and phosphate beds u Coo
saw river, which are exceedingly rai;i.b;,.
Ise U,osaw Mining Company claimed that
iktSTG the Legislature of South Carolina
made contract comforting ON il perpetual
grant to the exclusive mining Of the phos-
phate rock and phosphate deposits in the
C.osaw River. The State contcnded that
by its act the Legislature had granted the
Coosaw Company exclusive rights for only a
limited period, namely, until the expiration
of twenty ono years fixed iu 1870, when the
Company was given the right (but not the
exclusive right to mine phosphate. This
peroI expired in 1891.
The Court to-day, in an opinion by Justice
Harlan, holds that The Act Of 1878 did not
give the Coosaw Company perpetual and
exclusive grant, but merely an exclusive
grant for the balance of the twenty-one
years covered by the original contract of
1870.

SUCCESS Is PossInLE.-Perhaps somebody
would like TO have the Obserrers opinion
about the result. We have no hesitation in
saying that while Tillman is nothing like a.
popular as two years ago, We believe he
still has large majority. We believe how
ever, that with a properly conducted cam
paign, in which his promises and his per-
formanncs will no contracted, ond his
entire official record shown up truthfully
and plainly. and without fear or favor, there
will be a change of sentiment sufficient to
defeat his reelection or to make it very
close. We think the people are in condi-
ton to listen to argument and reason, and
that nothing is to be gained to either side
by appeals to passion or prejudice and
class feeling. g.-Newberry Observer.
