The liquor status in this State is
very unfortunate in this: Many of
those who favored the djspensary
are encouraging blind tigers be-
cause of the great contrast in favor
of their preference. On the other
hand those who opposed the dis
pensary make no effort to prose-
the blind tigers, for the reason that
the very notoriety this gives the
present liquor status demonstrates
and intensifies the good that was
in the dispensary system. So that
really both factions are doing all
they can to foster the blind tiger
iniquity-a very deplorable state
of affairs.

A practical joker perpetrated a
joke by sending to Senator Quay
a nicely bound book entitled on
the cover "What Congress is
doing" Senator Quay opened it,
cooked through it, smiled and
laughed, then he passed it to Vice
President Stevenson who did
ditto, and then sent it to Senator
Pfeffer who did ditto, and thus it
passed around the Senate and all
the grave, etc, seignlors did ditto.
They thought it good joke. But
there are lots of people in this
country who would relish the joke
more if there wasn't quite SO much
truth in the jest. The book which
so excited Senatorial mirth was
filled full of blank pages

Mistakes About Abstainers,

The Contemporary Review.
7 have never asserted anything
so wrong and so foolish as that il
is sin to drink wine; nor have
I ever been so uncharitable, and
gone so far beyond my legitimate
warrant, as to have pronounced a
syllable of condemnation against
those who, in the somewhat clumsy
nomenclature of this controversy,
are called moderate drinkers" If
there are any who adopt such
language I can only say that |
have never once heard it used at
any temperance meeting either of
the higher or lower classes. But,
granted that many foolish and
inconsiderate things are said upon
this subject, I ask whetaer there
is any controversy which is not
discredited by the bearing and
methods of some of it's partisans?
And is no nonsense talked and
are no brutalitties or vulgarlties
of abuse resorted toby those who
take the other side?
How often, for instance, have
we been told that total abstainers
are poor, weak, unbalanced crea-
lures, who, being unable to protect
themselves from drunkenness, try
by all sorts of nonsense, folly, and
tyranny to rob their neigbbors of
a harmless and beneficial in
diligence? Into all these amenities
I refpse to enter. If it is foolish
and wrong to denouce all use of
fermented liquors as sin, it is no
lese foolish and wong to speak of
total abstinence from them as q
Manichean condemnation of ga
good creature of God" "a good
creature af God?" I have heard
Sir Wilfred Lawson say. "Of
course it is! So is a tiger. But
one does not want a tiger in ones
bedroom.
No Notwithstanding would
claim his abstinence as virtue, or
pharisaically pride himself upon
it; but it is at least an equal
absurdity to speak of the use of
beer and wine as though the self
qualification involved in drinking
them were virtue which entities
The ''moderate driIker" to look
down upon his neighbor from an in..
definite altitude of superiority. And
surely a sufficient number of men
pre-eminent goodness, learning,
and wisdom, in all ages and coun-
tries-from the days of Pythagoras
down to those of John the Baptist,
and through all the Christian ages
have been more or less absolute
abstainers, to prove that the prac-
tice can neither be injurious nor
absurd.

FRAUD AND THE MAILS.
Important Conviction in the U.
S. District Court at Charleston.

An important and interesting
case was tried in the United States
court at Charleston, Judge Brawley
presiding, on the 18th of May, in
volvlng the suppression, for the
present at least. of a proposed
forger who has also served a term
in the penitentiary for forgery;
and also involving the principle
that the United States mail cannot
be used for the purpose of fraud,
even if the perpetrator may not
finally consummate his schemes
and become the beneficiary Of his
fraud, or proposed fraud.
One T. A. Blackwood, writing
over the fictitious signatureiof W.
D. Morris, Sr., addressed the
American Bank Note Company at
New York asking them to furnish
him with a supply Of Southern
Express money ORDERS He alleged
that his uncle was all agent of the
Southern Express Company, and
had lost a lot of money orders, and
they were ashamed to acknowledge
their carelessness to the company,
and desired to replace them, and
wished to have prices quoted by
the hundred, the object being to
obtain a supply of blank money
orders by this subterfuge.
At the same time, he was
negotiating by mail with the Cole
Printing Company of Sanford. n.
c., with a view to obtaining checks
on sundry banks and letter heads
with the name of c. L. Loop, gene
ral anditor, Southern Express
Company printed thereon.
The American Bank Note Com
pany promptly referred the cor
respondence received by them to
General Auditor Loop of the
Southern Express Company, who
placed the matter in the hands of
Route Agent A. Nj. Richardson OF
the same company, at Columbia,
who succeeded in locating the
alleged w. D. Norris as one F. A,
Blackwood. Blackwood was arres-
ted upon a warrant sworn out by
f. D. Peer, postof1ice inspector
who rendered material service III
working up and prosecuting the
case.
Blackwood, was taken before the
United States commissioner in
Charleston and committed for trial
The witnesses against Blackwood
were T. II. Lee of the American
Bank Note Company of New York
the general auditor of the Southern
Express Company, Route Agent
Richardion of the same compa ny
! t!'a deputy United States marshal
j who made the arrest with search
warrant, the postmaster at Barn
we'll. S. c., and others.
The guilt of Blackwood was
established so clearly that there
could he no doubt whatever.
Blackwood was prosecuted by
United States District Attorney
Murphy, and his able assistants,
Messrs. Wood and Hughes. A
very forcible argument was made
in the case by District Attorney
Murphy. Blackwood was ably de-
Tended by R. Withers Memminger
of the Charleston bar.
An able and elaborate charge
was delivered by Judge Brawley,
in which the law Of the case was
carefully set forth, and the duty of
the jury in the consideration of
the evidence, and the applicabi ility
of the law set forth. The jury, after
retiring for short time, returned
averdict of guilty. Blackwood was
sentenced by Judge Brawley to
Imprisonment in the Columbus,
O., penitentiary for a term of one
year and one month, and to pay a
Hnn of $500

ANOTHER ACCOUNT,

Lancaster. June 3.-Hardy Gill,
a young negro, about thirty years
old, was taken from the jail this
morning between 1 and 2 o'clock,
by a crowd of men and shot to
death, about three miles from
town. Gill was in jail for cruelty
beating Mrs, James A. Clark. OF
Cedar Crt elk Township. On Mon
day last. Gill went to Mr.. Ctark's
premises in his absence and COM
menced raising disturbance in
the yard. Upon being ordered
away by Mrs. Clark, he turned on
her with an andiron and beat her
numerically. He then picked up
Mrs. Clark's baby and threw 1t
across the house. Mrs. Clark's
injuries are such that she is not
expected to live. The little child.s
injuries are also of a serious
nature. The negro was immedl-
ately arrested and lodged in jail.
Yesterday he was adjudged insane
before Trial Justice Burns. This
morning, between the hours above
mentioned, Jailer Montgomery
and his assistant, Mr.. Smith were
walked by voices on the outside OF
the Jail. On opening the door the
taller saw several men. They said
they had a prisoner for him and
that the papers were all right
They wore admitted. AS soon as
they keys to the floor above were
produced, the supposed prisoner
and the others grabbed both
Montgomery and Smith, and alter
disarming them carried them both
up where the prisoners were. AS

the negro. They carried the jailer's
pistol away, but told him it would
be returned to him. The crowd
were heard passing through the
town. Search was Immediately
made for the negro and kept up
until 10 o'clock this morning, when
he was found about three miles
from town in the midule of the
road, completely riddled with bull
lets. The body was brought to
town and the inquest held this
afternoon by the coroner. The
verdict was that the negro came
to his death at the hands Of
parties unknown to the jury.
Smith says that none of the part
les were disguised and that they
were all strangers TO Montgomery
and himself. He says the crowd
was very orderly, but very deter
mined.
John A. Fail, while, under
sentence Of death for the killing
of Brister Baker, was terribly
frightened by the visit of the of the
lynchers. He said he knew they
would come back 20 take him out
and begged piteously not to be
left alone.

A Negro Lynched Near Lancaster
Sc, Yesterday.

Charleston, S. c., June g.
Hardy Gill, a colored man was
taken by force from the jail i'll Ian
caster this morning, between and
2 o'clock, by a party of twenty-five
men and carried away about three
miles and lynched.
A coroner's inquest was held
over his body and the jury re-
turned a verdict that he was shot
to death by parties unknown. Two
or three days ago, he without pro-
vocation assaulted and inflicted, it
is feared, mortal wounds on the
wife of Mr.. James A. Clark, who
is now at the point Of death. Mrs
Clark resides with her husband
about fourteen miles from the city,
While richly meriting his fate 1t
is greatly to be deplored.
