TlLLMAN, OF =. c., SPEAKS.

The most remarkable exhibition thai
has been made in the Senate of the
United States for long time occurred
there on last Wednesday,, when Sena
tor Tillman, of South Carolina, de
livered his maiden speech. Mr.. Till
man is rather remarkable lookine
man. He has square face, heavy
black hair which bristles out from hi
head. and when his hat is off, a large
lock of it hangs down over his fore
head. His nose is turned up a little
showing the pugnacity Of his dis
position. & has lost an eye, it is said
.-s.in 3 sliSEsef of which be is said to have
fought several, possibly killing not
only his man, but his men. We dc
not know this certainly, but have
heard it, and from the exhibition made
the other day, we are prepared to be-
lieve it.
This Senator is the latest production
of the Palmetto State, and it is easy to
see that there has been decline, since
the days of the Pinkneys, the Haynes,
the Calhouns, and we may add the
Hamptons. Just the kind of person
he is, nobody knows. He has no pc
iitical policy that even the Digger
Incssss would follow, but pretends to
despise all present forms of Govern
ment, and denounces all measures ex
listing or proposed.
His language and SMILES are of the
kind seldom heard except on tie
bowery or fat-boat, yet this modern
oratory draws as do most free shows,
though few yet live who regret the
decline true oratory has suffered, both
in pulpit and forum.
Mr.. Tillman, during his speech, held
the Senate as we'll as the galleries.
more we think on account of the
novelty of the exhibition than on &C.
count of it's merit. yet whilst he may
rejoice in the product of his mind, and
yaunt himself for having done great
thing, he has neither bettered his
country, his State, nor himself. He
has, however, successfully done one
thing-he has lowered the standard of
Southern craftsmanship, and proven.
beyond peradventure, that small men
can reach high places, though, like
the serpent, they do SO upon their
bellies, with a loathsome trail marking
the course by which they have ascend
ed.
His denunciation of President Cleve
land and Secretary Carlisle finds no
responsive chord in any bosom, unless
it be some following of Mr.. Tillman's
unknown to US, whose habitat is the
canebrake or jungle, and who draw
their inspiration from the one eyed
statesman whom they have chosen as
the expounder of their faith.
When Mr.. Tillman referred to Mr..
Cleveland as 1.-THE bullheaded and
self-idolatrous man." and as "this
besotted tyrant," and to Secretary
Carlisle as this Judas from Ken
lucky" he carried invective too far,
depriving it of the sting it was intend
ed to produce and converting it into
the badinage of the bully and black
guard.
IT is with shame and deep humilia.
ton that we acknowledge this product
to be of Southern growth, and assume
and will bear our portion of the odium,
hoping, however, that a charitable
world will deal with us on this account,
as those should be dealt with, who,
without their fault, have been the
victims of dire misfortune.
