Charleston News and Courier.
The police department, acting in
conjunction with the State constabu
larry, has seized the schooner Carolins
| loaded with twenty-eight barrels oI
whiskey. The liquon seized is pro.
| badly worth 81, 500, ana the value OF
the schooner, which willthe held under
Section 3S OF the dispenaary law, is
worth probably az much again. The
details of the seizure and Subsequent
proceedings are interesting AID are as
follows:
Information having reached the
authorities that one or more schooners
loaded with contraband liquor were
expected to arrive in Charleston the
State constables, under Chief Holley,
and the police, under Chief Martin,
were on the lookout. At about 800
o'clock a. m. Sergts Quinn and McCaf-
ferry, Of the police force, on watch
along the east river front, discovered
small schooner coming quietly up 10
Palmetto wharf. She came in, lowered
her sails and made fast. Her move.
ments and the fact of her coming up to
wharf at that hour gave tho officers
a clue, and in worry few minutes they
hailed her.

be troublesome, but the sergeants soon
showed him that they meant business
and boarded her at once. Word was at
once sent to headquarters and Chiet
Martin, Lieut. Mollenhauer and several
men repaired to the scene. Chief
Constable Holley was not far off and
was shortly on the wharf. The
schooner was found to be the Carolira
and the car go consisted of twenty eigat
barrels OF whiskey. Tho captain, J.
Il. v. J&rvey, his son, j. &. " Jervey,
Jr., and aNSolored deck hand, named
Henry Gardner, were put under arrest,
and as soon as daylight made it practi-
cable the cargo was unloaded. The
barrels were, with three or four ex-
ceptions, marked vinegar" and the
revenue stamps had been covered by
pasting over them pieces Of white
and the stamps not covered.
Tho Carolina Ia two-masted
schooner about sixty feet long, of sub
stantial build. She has been engaged
in the coasting trade for some years
and is owned principally in Charles
ton.
The whiskey, which Chief Constable
Holley estimated to be worth 81 500,
was sent to the South Carolina and
Georgia Railroad depot for shipment
to Columbia and the captain and crew
OF the Carolina were taken before
Justice Rouse on warrant served by
Constable Levy, charged with violat-
ing Section 33 Of the dispensary law.
They gave bonds of $500 each for their
appearance when desired and were
released. The Carolina, however, is
held by the authorities and will prob.
ably be advertised as confscated and
for sale in few days. The section
under which the Carolina Is held
refers to seizure of vehicles or any
means used in transportation OF con.
traband liquor.

sent to that body, Nearly all the q
Ties were represented in these cor
ences, and from those which were
represented we had words OF encour
ment. E&
1--WE found Tillman, Evans
the other leading Reformers who vel
advising with them willing for a lfaS
and just division of the delegates. VI
We're told that the principal point upb
which the Reformers would insist w
the adoption OF some provision by Will
white supremacy would be guarantee
to the State, and that no agreemeS
could be reached except upon thu
basis. There was no difficulty herd
Tor the Conservatives are as anxious nj
the Reformers to secure this result.
sub committee was appointed by u.v
and in the end it was agreed that thu
plan which was outlined in the inter@
view OF Senator Tillman and in thJ
address published by us should be subj
mitted to the people.
There is good deal Of talk In some
OF the newspapers to the effect that tn
plan of qualifying the suffrage agree
upon is the Mississippi plan or som
other equally Objectionable and tn,
1t will involve fraud and perjury, and
be fraught with serious damage to the
State.
ION this point | wish to say no spec.
lal plan or scheme was talked of, nor
were wc asked to pledge ourselves to
one. The very object of adopting O
constitutional provision on this subject
is TO prevent the necessity Of resort
to fraud. When suitable provision
has once been incorporated into our
fundamental law every white man can
breathe more freely, and there will
fhnn ha fT,.
tionable methods: the result win be
fairer elections.
1--WE agreed upon policy, that OF
white supremacy; aud if this agree
ment Is carried out the Conservatives
will be expected to use their best. efforts
to secure such a provision as will meet
this end. The desire is that no white
man shall be disfranchised except for
crime. Several gentlemon professed
to have schemes by which it would be-
possible to accomplish this without
fraud and at the same time so qualify
the suffrage as to rid us of the overSl
,yhaimiug colore1 Whether thes
plans are practicable or nOSC
be seen. But, at any rate, the efo
will DO to nearly as possible disfran-
chise no white man.
"Thc task presented is q difficult
one, to which the best talent of the
State will be devoted, and have no
doubt that the result will be entirely
satisfactory to the entire white people.
cit was agreed that no provision
dealing with the Di spensary shouldbe
incorporated inGo the Constitution, but
that this should be left, where it now
is. with the Legislature.
"1n conclusion, l wish to say that
the people will have an opportunity to
get together and laying aside all fac
tional differences work for the good of
the State and for Anglo-Saxon cfviliza-
tion. On the points which were COW
cred by the agreement there can be no
difference Of opinion among the whites,
we are all in favor of them. Then why
should past disagreements affect us in
these matters upon which we can
agree ?"

two years to be very jealous of the
right to select their own candidate
and are shy of compromise arrange
ments. In my county for instance ]
do not think 1t even possible to got our
people, Reformers or Conservatives, to
agree upon and vote for mixed ticket.
1 think the same thing applies to this
county, Richland.
=" Third An equal numerical
division of delegates between the two
factions would be an unequal division
as to their respective strength. In
the last General Assembly they stood
four Ref0rmers to one Conservative
and there Is no evidence of any change
in the people since the last election.
Fourth: II there was AN equal
division the Conservatives having so
and the Reformers having 80 delegates
it would be practically turning over
the convention to the Conservatives
so far as the Dispensary law Is con-
cerned, for there would with reasona-
BILE certainty be at least ten or fifteen
Reformers who oppose that law us Bit
terly as do the Conservatives.
Fifth: 1t would have the effect of
transferring the fight from the stump
to the convention with consequent
heated and very long and extensive
session. Tho proposition suggests the
idea OF our modern prizo fighters,
emilingly and with much peace and
unity carrying out their agreement
[ believe the best plan is the simplest
and most natural; just as they did in
New York as to its constitutional con-
vention. Let tho Democracy select

step Tor the selection of our nominees.
All of our candidates may fight it out
there, either with their own strength
or with assistance of the Forty and
those who are the favorites Of the peo-
plo as most nearly representing their
sentiments will be the nominees OF the
party and will be elected at tho gene
raj election. I-don't believe the peo-
pie will be satisfied with anything
else. have no fear OF any disastrous
results to the State even If the Re-
formers do.have considerable ma
jority in theAcOnvention, as is likely.
A Constitution which they will make
for themselves will be good enough
neighbors.Q My conclusion Is that the
primary $will settle the whole business
in free for all race, though some feW
counties which are very close may
agree upon compromise rather than
take chances, and that the campaign
will leave our people as peaceful and
united as they now are" Congress
man Wilson added that he did not fear
that the negro could possibly cut a
fgure, because, he said, that the negro
could not be gotten to register.

politics and tho possible entrance OF
new party into South Carolina he cut

arc Democrats here. We don't want
any Third party or Populism in ours"

In conclusion, Senator Tillmau said
There is one other point in Mr.. Will.
sons interview which | think worthy
OF notice that Is that the plan out
lined by me has failed already, because
the Spartanburg Herald, the Greenville
News and The Columbia State have
refused to endorse it. think he
will find that just the reverse will be
found to be true. l did not expect
unanimous consent, least OF all from
those sources-in fact would doubt my
own sanity and honesty of purpose If /
received such backing"
When | asked tho Senator il he was
willing to take the stump against the
Irby aud Wilson forces if they brought
about fight, he replied "If the
issue Is presented in such way as to
require it, | will take the stump. 1
have already said this and It was no
Picknickian utterance. 1t was said
in downright earnest"
Senator Tillman was then question
ed as to the proposed National REFORM
movement and replied he had heard
nothing of 1t in Washington to amount
to anything, as such movements ema-
mated from the people and not from
such men as were In Washington.
He declared that the movement was
coming and added with great emphasis
that twas "Not long way of, either"

THE RECENT CONFERENCES.
An Interview With Mr.. IL. j. Hayns-

Greenvillc County.

An Interview With Mr.. IL. j. Hayns
worth, the Representative from
Greenvillo County.
From The Greenville Mountaineer.
The conferences recently held in Co
lumbia between tho representative
men Of the Reformors and Conserva-
tivos, and the addresses they have is.
sued to tho people OF tho State, are
the chief TOPIC OF discussion in political
circles. In this county there are vari.
GUS opinions. Many notions OF what has
beer done and what will be done, and
what has been and has not been agreed
upon, have rather bewildercd some
camp-followers on both sides. Fair
and honest thinking men, who hold
the interest of the State paramount to
all other interests, hail with great sat
isfaction the plan that has been set on
foot, which will prevent y fight that
can bring nothing but damage, and
further increase the bitterness and an
imosity between tho two factions
which have been contending four wears
for the mastery
There are probably not score OF
men who know who the representa-
tive from this county was So far as
politics arc concerned. he has nevcr
been very active, but has nevertheless
been greatly Interested, and on one OF
two occasions during the last campaign
was called on to make speeches that
gained many friends, on account OF
the wise counsel and careful, conscrva
tive views that he enunciated. 1t was
indeed, a wise CHOICE This gentle
man is the well-known lawyer, Mr.. III
j. Haynsworth.
A reporter Of this paper called upor
him and asked him to say something fol
publication, and to this he consented
He remarked that he did not know
why. he should have been called upor
to meet with his conference. but &C
cepted the invitation in the sense i
was given, believing that there was {
basis OF mutual ground upon which
the differing factions could get to
gether, and this result seemed so de
sirable that he was willing to lend hi
aid to Its accomplishment. Mr.. Hayns
worth responded as follows:
The purpose of the meeting was t,
! devise some plan by which o factiona
! contest over the election of delegate
to the constitutional convention Nigh
be avoided. Mono of us had authorit
to make any agreement that woul,

married In Atlanta last week. The
ceremony was performed by Judge
Bloodworth. The groom wanted the
ceremony performed in open court,
but the bride objected because OF the
crowd of curious spectators. So they
substituted the groom's laundry for
the temple of justice and the ceremony
was duly performed. None OF the
brides family would attend and no
