Survivors take account of the fifty.
three Confederate Veterans besides
Gen. Wheeler of Alabama who are
members of the House Of Representa-
tives in the Fifty third Congress,
including eight Colonels aud Lieuten-
nt-Colonels.
The fact is that from the thirteen
States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis-
sissppi, Missouri, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and
Virginia, not less than seventy-s:x of
the present Senators and Representa-
tives served on the Confederate side
during the war of the rebellion.
The total representation of these
States is only l42, so that considerably
more than half of the whole number
are Confederate Veterans, survivors of
actual service in the field against the
Union. When we consider that almost
thirty years have elapsed since the
end OF the war, and that many South
ern States and districts are now repre-
sented by men who were babies when
the fighting was on, the proportion of
Southern military and naval heroism
yet in Congress is remarkable. It
controls the Southern Democratic vote,
the Southern Democratic vote controls
the majority party, and the majority
controls legislation.

"It's lie," shouted Tupper over and
over again.
Evans replied that if Tupper wanted
to call him a lie to come at him when
be was off the staod.
| Tupper bounded forward and was
making for the stand when he was
grabbed by a policeman and a half
dozen friends and rushed back into the
| crowd.
Evans continued, "You know me,
Tupper, and I know you, and you
know I will slap your face SO damn
quick you won't know it. If that man
wanted to fight, let him come to me
somewhere else. 1t is fashionable to
call men liars these days when they
are oD the stand, but it is no evidence
of anything but the coward"
Evans thanked the crowd for their
"kind attention." whereupon there
was a sort of "helI-broke-loose-in-
Georgia" time.
ELLERBE CHEERED.
Comptroller Ellerbe got some rous-
ing cheers as he was introduced. He
wanted those who thought his record
was all right to vote for him for Gov
ernor, and those who did not could
vote for his cousin John Gary. (Cries
of sob, nor') Evans had pitched into
him at Bonneau's, where be thought
he had a lot of friends, but played the
dunghill to-day in not repeating it here.
He then crackedsome jokes at john
MES expense, getting cheers from the
crowd. His remarks about Cleveland
not being in sympathy with the pro-
ducing classes of the South and West
met with assent from a score of
throats.
LIVELY AT WATERFORD.
Especial to Greenville News
WALTERBoRo,. S. c., July 13.-The
campaign meeting here to-day had a
little more life in it than some others.
500 people were present. The crowd
was Overwhelmingly for Tillman and
gave him an ovation. The Governor
devoted most of his time to answering
questions asked at Charleston yester-
day by Butler regarding the refunding
of the State debt. The yelled insinua-
ton that any money in that transac-
tion had struck bis pocket was, he said,
malicious SANDER. He told the crowd
they ought to have seen him "spit fire
at those hounds in Charleston last
night" Some one asked him was be
a Populist, and he replied II am a
white man and Democrat, while you
are white man with black heart"
Cal Caughman, candidate for Con-
gress from the 7th district, began his
speech with an attack on Tillman, call
ing him the most arrant fraud in South
Carolina, and was howled and booted
at. He followed this with an attack on
the Columbia Register and was howled
down. He got mad and the crowd got
mad and there was a camp meeting
time.
General Ellerbe was not present,
having been left in Charleston, and the
gubernatorial speakers were Evans and
Tindal. Evans had the crowd with him
and was rapturously received.

ARE THEY PASSING AWAYe
A Writer Says that the Confederate Briga'
diers in Congress are Few in Number.
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.]
The men who enjoyed prominence
in the military and civil service of the
Confederacy are rapidly passing from
the arena of national politics. Below
is q record of such as are still in activ,
life at Washington;
The senior United States Senate
from Alabama, John T. Morgan, was s
Brigadier- in the Confederate
army; and her other Senator, James l.
Pugh, was member Of the Confederate
Congress. Hon. Joseph Wheeler, wht
attained the rank of Lieutenant Gen
eral in the Confederate service, has fol
twelve years been the representative ir
Congress from the Eighth Alabams
district.
The senior Senator from Georgia
John B. Gordon, was likewise s
Lieutenant-G General III the army of the
Confederacy.
The Hon. Edward C. Walthall O
Mississippi, Major-General in ths
Conderate service, and Of late the
Junior United States Senator from hi
native State, while not now in active
politics, having resigned for the balance
of his present term in the upper House
has been elected for and is confidently
expected to take his seat in tha
honorable body in March, 1895.
The senior United States Senator
from Missouri, Francis NJ. Cockrell,
was a Brigadier-General in the Con
federate army; and the other Senator
from that commonwealth, George G.
Vest, held positions in both Houses o.
the Confederate Congress.
The present senior United States
Senators from both North and South
Carolina, Matt w. Ransom and M. G.
Butler, were Major-Generals in the
Confederate service.
The Representatives from Tennessee
in the upper House of Congress are
Isham G. Harris, the senior, and
William R. Bate. who is the junior
Senator from that commonwealth
The first mentioned was war Cover
nor of his native State, and the last
named was Major-General in the
Confederate army.
And lastly, Eppa Hunton, who saw
service as Brigadier-General in the
Confederate army, at present occupies
the position OF junior Senator flom
Virginia in the Congress of the United
States.
Thus do we perceive that of the
multitude of those who distinguished
themselves in the military and civil
annals of the Confderacy only twelve
remain in national halls, upholding in
the present, as they strove to do in the
past, the right and interests of the
section of which they are the honored
Bepresepta tatives.
