BARNWELL DENIES |

The Columbia correspondent Of the
News and Courier says:
Mr.. Barnwell was seen today and he
feels very much chagrined at the men
ton Of his pane in this connection.
He has never had anything to do with
politics and does not want to have any
thing to do with such matters, and said
that he would not have anything to say
for publication, and be certainly never
expected what he said in gentlemau's
library would get into print, correctly
or incorrectly. He did not care to have
anything to say for publication, but it
may be stated in justice to Mr.. Barn
we'll that he stated most emphatically
that he never in all his life patronized,
nor has he been in ''blind tiger, and
he could not of his own knowledge say
where there was one in Columbia OF
elsewhere. He most emphatically
never has told Mr.. Werner or anyone
else, be says, that Governor McSweeney
pat1onizcd a blind tiger" because he
does not know aaytihg about it. Hs
did tell Mr.. Werner that Governor Nc
Sweeney in common with other gentle
men visited the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Club, and that he met him
there, and he told Mr.. Werner that if
the Governor took drink there he did
not suppose he would deny it, but he
certainly does not look upon club
room where gentlemen meet and talk as
a ''blind tiger.
The testimony Of the above gentle
men should most efectlally dispose Of
the vile slanders that Patterson has
been using. Werner will now have to

Washington, Dec. 24.-The river
and harbor bill will contain an appro-
priation of 100000 for the mouth ct
the Columbia. and further provision
that this improvement be placed under
the continuing contract system until
completed. 1t is understood, however,
that the total amount of the contract
will not be as great as that recon.
mended by the engineers. 1t will

is very favorable to many other states.
Chairman Burton was anxious to
ave some repeal legislation to qualify
the large amount in the river and har'

wanted repealed was the Dalles boas

sisted that it should remain until as
