Governor Evans Random Boast.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir-Did you read the account OF the
meeting of the three Governors In At
lanta a few days ago, when the Governor
OF Georgia, IN his speech or welcome,
said that the Two cranks for South
Carolina had evoked more applause than
was accorded TO The President Of the
United States on ms visit a short time
befOre"-a circumstance certainly not dis
creditable to the President. but only a
reprOach and a shame 10 the people OF
Atlanta We long ago heard the shout
of the mob. Cruelty him, cruelty HIM
while they receive the rODber with open
arms.
The next speaker who was the Gov
crnor Of South Carolina, among other
Objectionable things, declared that tho
South was I'm the Union 10 say, and
meant TO control the Government" Was
there ever such folly since the leElnning
OF the world? Is II not almost incOnceiy-
able that any sane nan, after our expert
ence OF the last thirty-nNe years, should
make such q declarations And al TINS

whole country IS coming back into its
Old-timc condition OF concord and mar

and animosity ot---ese last days ana,
too at Atlanta, OF all possible places,
TO which multitudes of northern people
have been going 10 testify their friendly
feeling, and TO celebrate its great work
in the creation OF such a magnificent Ia
position.
You remember what the Governor OF
South Carolina is reported 10 have sara

But. I'm spite OF the wild and visionary

not altogether beyond the hope OF re-

Reliable Goods.

In conversation with Messrs. Isaac Sycle
& Co, the well-known dry-goods mer-
chants, we discovered that from what
they say the real cause OF their success
has been the fact that they always made
IL a point TO sell goods that they knew
TO be reiiable-always selecting such goods
tnat were substantial, stylish, and at the
same time popular priced. They have
made a speciality this season on Cloaks,
and they say that they have seldom

are exaggerating IN saving that they sell

they can be bought anywhere at retail.

We were among the most earnest advo-

and specification and appointed me 10

mittee Of trial was duly appointed and

with unusual ability by two OF his friends.

accused In case of conviction. II is an ir-
reversible legal decision of the point that
there was no immortality in DR.. Carriers

legal and proper as his acquittal. and
grew directly out OF proceedings inaugu-
rated by his own motion. 1t was as
honest and earnest. as candid and as far,
as the conduct OF the defence. Nobody
engaged in it made any motion pertaining
