South Carolina Politics.

There was an exciting scene on the
Pullman car last night coming from
Union to Spartanburg, sc, when United
States Senator Butler denounced Gov.
Tillman to his face as having lied about
him and told him if he wished to resent
ii he would meet him at any time and
place he might select.
At the campaign meeting at Union
yesterday the Governor attacked But
Ter because of an article published on
Monday purporting to be Il part Of the
Senator's speech at Laurens. This
article attacked Tillman's administra-
ton of the dispensary. Butler had
furnished copies to the reporters before
the meeting, but did not use it in his
speech. 1t was, however, published by
one of the papers, despite the CORES
pondent's telegram not to use 1t. Till
man charged Butler with being sewer
for somebody else's filth, and when
Butler replied ne was howled down.
On the car coming to Spartanburg
last night Butler sought Tillman, and,
after calling up the correspondent, to
show that he had told Tillman that his
paper published it inadvertently, he
went for the Governor N this fashion
''You perpetrated deliberate fraud up
on me. You know you put those hood
lums up to howl me down, and | de-
nounce what you have done as a id
lie."
The ladies in the car were by this
time terribly excited, and on the top of
this Col. Caughman, a candidate for
Congress, threw his hand to his pistol
and yelled "Yes; he is a ID liar
and fraud"
The conductor and several others
succeeded in getting Caughman away,
and the talk between Butler and Till
man continued. The Governor had
risen and said: "Blackguards have full
swing now, and you, General Butler,
helped to enact an anti-dueling law
eyes," said Butler, "but you put
those hoodlums up to howl me down.
Don't try to put other people in dan
ger, but come to me personally, and
you can get satisfaction"
Tillman-"You are old and one leg
ged.n
Butler-"Don't let that stand in the
way"
81 don't want to fight" replied the
Governor.
Cali right" said Butler. "Don't be
making attacks on me and referring to
my debts. 1 have heard something
about your having recently paid off
$4,000 mortgage"
Tillman-"That isn't So"
Gen. Butler and Gov. Tillman kept
up their fire several minutes longer,
and until Conductor Dawkins had
worked his way back into the car and
peremptorily ordered the discussion to
stop. He appealed to the participants
to be quiet, as he would lose his job if
he permitted such things in his car.
Gen. Butler repeated that Tillman
could get a fight if he wanted it, and
then left the car. Political feeling is
running high, and plenty of excitement
is promised for the meeting at Spartans-
burg to-day.

Congress Yesterday.

In the Senate yesterday the sundry
civil appropriation bill was read by
paragraphs.
An amendment was inserted provid-
ing for the "Mahone" lot as a new
printing office site, but Mr.. Henderson
offered in behalf of Senator Roach, an
amendment substituting the old
National Baseball" lot for the Malone
lot
The committee amendment received
the support of Mr.. Teller and Mr.. Gull
ION, but Mr.. German, chairman of the
committee on printing, opposed both
sites and favored the extension of the
present plant.
Mr.. Cockrell took the same view.
Mr.. Sherman putting aside the ques-
ton of any particular site, urged the
speedy removal of the plant from the
present building, which, he said, was q
wreck when it was purchased, and
never was suited to its purpose. He
was, however, opposed to the present
location, which was in too crowded q
portion of the city, and would require
the destruction of great many
private residences in order to extend
it.
The amendment of Mr.. Henderson
was lost-l3 to 81.
Mr.. Gallinger offered an amendment
providing for the extension Of the pre-
sent site in lieu of the amendment pro-
posed by the committee, but this was
also defeated-l5 to %, and the original
committee amendment was then agreed
TO.
An amendment was proposed by Mr.
Manderson-against which he hoped
the point of order would not be raised
-appropriating 100000 to acquire the
rights to the water power of the Great
Falls of the Potomac for the purpose OF
erecting an electric lighting plant for
the city of Washington.
Mr.. German expressed the hope that
Mr.. Manderson would not press his
amendment, for its adoption would in
volve the government in big law suit
with Maryland.
he therefore made point of order
against the amendment, which the chair
sustained.
The Senate adjourned without dis
posing of the bill.
Among the bills passed in the Honse
was one authorizing the Secretary OF
the Navy to loan to States for the use
of naval militia such vessels as are
not required or suitable for general SER
vice.

The FACT that not only educated,
but cultured, Massachusetts has four
teen times as many criminals in pro-
portion to population as Georgia, one
fifth of whose white people can neither
read nor write, only adds to the glar-
ingness of the truth, that education is
not a determent to crime, and that free
schools do not improve morals.

AT THE recent prison congress, the
beneficial effect of flogging was demon
strated by conclusive evidence. There
can be no doubt of it. To the vast
majority of criminals, Imprisonment has
no terrors. but the lash is an abiding
one. and is dreaded only less than
death and being so, it is not only an
improver of behavior within prisons,
but an improver of morals without

Pope LEO NH says: Property Is
the foundation of human society, an
accumulation of which enables man to
rise from the darkness of savage and
barbarous degradation. Aside from
religion ITSELF, there is nothing the
church guards with greater care or de-

But, according to the new religion,
property is robbery and, if landed,

If THE proceedings of the long par
lament were as irritating to the people
of Epgland as those of the present Con-
eress are to the people of this country
it is no wonder that Oliver Cromwell,
two hundred and forty-one years ago,
walked into the chamber of that body
and drove its members out and sent
them home. If the NJ. Ps of that day
were as foolish as the N. Cs referred
to. their expulsion was the least cen
surahle of all of Cromwell's acts.
