The Truth Of the Matter.

[Greenville Enterprise & N.ountaineer.1
The charge has been made by Gov.
Tillman against Col. Orr that he sup
ported a radical negro for jury COM
missioner of Anderson County against
a manned Confederate soldier, and the
Tillman newspapers are ringing the
changes on this unfair charge. The
facts are as follows:
Sam Johnson was q cclored Replbll-
can, and held the office Of jury COM
missioner prior to 1876. He came over
to the Democrats during The campaign
of that year, and rendered effective
service in securing negro votes. After
the Democrats got into power, petl-
tions were made for the appointive Of
fees, and Johnson's white friends
asked for his retention.
He was opposed by worthy and es:
timable Confederate soldier, who did
not need the perquisites of the office,
and the legislative delegation from
Anderson County decided to recon-
mend the re-appointment Of johnson,
because of his political services, because
Of the fact that he had discharged
the duties of his Office acceptably, and
that he had strong recommendations
from Democrats, with which party he
was then affiliated, if We are not mis-
taken. Johnson was net Radical at
any rate, for be had been repudiated
by the officials of that party on ac'
count of his services to the Demo
cracy.
Col. Orr was a member of the LegIs'
lature, and joined the delegation in
submitting the name CT johnson for
re-appointment, which was in accord
with the policy pursued by Governor
Hampton to recognize and reward the
political services of such Republicans
as helped to redeem the State.
After the lapse of fifteen years it is
pitiful plea against Col. Orr that he
aided in 80 conciliatory policy, which
was the predominant and recognized
sentiment of the State. Certainly, il
Anderson County there was no specis
opposition to Col. Orr Tor the part ht
took in this matter, and the people
continued to vote for him so long a:
he offered for office.
The charge is unfairly made, because
the circumstances are not given to show
the motives which governed the dele
CATION, and because the attempt i
made to hold Col. Orr responsible whel
he was only partly in control of th'
matter. Besides, the Senator from
Anderson County at that time wa
only Hampton Repu blican, and wa
strongly in favor of Johnson's reten
ton in office, which he could have pro
cured by opposing the confirmation o
all others. 1t is very small bushes
for the Governor Of South Carolina t.
make such charges upon partial ant
prejudiced information,
