1t is not known what Mr.. John NJ. Miller,
and the other gentlemen who uu3erwrite Col.
Rhame's article, consider the vicious por-
tion of our remaris concerning the Simon
Cooper !ypchiog III be the remarks con-
cerning the part the Magnolia people took in
the affair, we beg to remind them that the
said remarks were made by the Magnolia cor
respondent of the Columbia Register. If we
were vicious in our attack, it consisted in
applying Magnolia mans remarks after the
Wilson, murder instead of before. If the
viciousness consisted in printing the rumor
that Cooper's body would have been burned
had it reached Magnolia, then We have
no excuse to offer, save that Magnolia
men, fresh from the scene, gave us the
information, aud that since then two Magno-
liza men have expressed their qualification that
Cooper's body was not sent to Magnolia !;
for" said they, "while it was not the ioteu-
tion of some of as to burn it, there were
threats Of doing 80, and there is no telling
what might have happened" We do not
coocede that there was the least viciousness
in any article we have written, and, further
more, the citizens of Magnolia sbould recol-
lect that they first attacked the editor of the
Item. He merely condemned the manner in
which Cooper was killed in, general terms,
and forthwith the people of Magnolia de-
pounced him. Then We made our defence,
and, ia doing 80, made An exhibit of those
who so roundlv censured US in series Of
resolutions. ED

gestion of vexatious interference
with State action The manifest
dangers to the future of the couatry,
which lurk in the inAexibility of the
Federal Constitution can only be
averted by carefully distinguishing
between such laws as practically con.
Germ the inhabitants Of a particular
State onl y and are intended bona fde
for their welfare and such as are a
mere subterfuge for an unlawful dis
elimination and cannot be carried
into effect without doing palpable
injustice to citizens of others State.
Il should not be overlooked in this
connection that the complaints in this
case emanate from citizen of South
Carolina, who seeks to defy the law
of his own State and puts forward as
his excuse the injustice done the
citizens of other States, who make
no complaint of her action in this
particular If a State cannot prohibit
her own citizens from importing
liquors. as well as buying them at
hone. the Wilson bill' is set at
naught and the prohibitory laws of
the several States rendered inopera-
tive in vital particular. The fact
that these liquors were imported for
complainant's own use and consump-
tion, instead Of for sale, raises no
question under the Federal Constitu-
ton. Both are under the ban of the
statute.
ri am unable to see how that Sec
tion of the dispensary act of South
Carolina, which authorized the sez-
ure made in this case, conflicts in
any particular with the Federal Con-
stitution."

of the editor of this paper in reference 10 the
killing of Simon Cooper. We simply con
demned the manner in which Cooper was
killed, and have not nor DO not now offer an =
excuse for Cooser, for whom burning was toe
good There were t-o stages in the killing
Of Cooper, aud 10 everything that hss beeu

shooting of Cooper after he surrendered and
had his bands above his head. This was

grouod of uncomfortable passioo and ignor-
ance of the prosoise Of protection Second.
the hanging and shooting at Green Swamp
when the negro was in dying condition. I,
was this latter act in the bloody drama that
was condemned 'in the language quoted by
Col. Rhame. Not one word do We retract or
regret, for more bloody, more useless, a
more coward!y act is not chronicled. If to
heng and mutilate this negro when he was
helpless was so honorable and praiseworthy
as Col Rhame's remarks would lead one to
believe, why do not those who participated
in it declare themselves and have their oames
placed on record Ias.ead, they keep them
selves unknown.
What motlve possessed the editor when he
offered to go with Col. Rhame, when Col
Rhsme came to birn and said that there were
three negroes at Magnolia who were Just az
bad as Cooper, had aided and abetted bin
and needed handling p The same motive
that possessed him when be left his business
bo ~
Wilson's were killed and the same that pos-
sessed him when be went to Jake Dargan's
house 10 pursuit of Simon Cooper A be-
lief that the community should be protected
against further outrages. Col. Rhame first
suggested the Magnolia negroes; and to the
best of the writer's recollection and belief,
Col Rhame never once said he wished 10
lynch those 'coIored men in Mag1olia who
were only charged (Col. Rhame making the
charge) with aiding Cooper" He merely
wanted to "hande" them, aud one gentle
man with whom the writer talked proposed
to run the negroes out of the community
nothing more. Ii Col. Rhame's memory will
serve him correctly he will recall that when
a crowd, who were rather oyer-excited from2a
two free use of liquor, began talking about
killing negroes that he and the writer both
advised against any such rash proceedings.
Cot Rhame's opinion heretofore has bad some
weight with the wrlter, but in his present
excited and unreasonable frame of mind his
personal structures give US no
concern whatever, for We believe that full
knowledge Of the facts and calm deliberation
will couvce not only hin but many other,
of the error of their present position We
have condemned what we deemed unlawful
aod mischevious to society, aud stating facts
as we saw them them, simply and without
favor, We are content to stand by the record
aud let thinking and reasonable men be our
judges Ed
