C., July 2t.-Adjutant General Farley, who origl,ially intent[ ed to hold his repIv to Senator I rby till Capt Tilt-mai coti',i have his say last, night reconsiderel I hle iat tvr and deci - ded not Io wait for the return of Cant Tillman from Washington and the issu Ing of his article, an- Lrave it ou. for publication. General P'.irley exhibitedt the several letters t hat, ho refers to it the a ticle. The reply is as Iollow%s: I believe the 111blic are generally aware that, I have been waiting on ap tain Jams Tillmnan, who announced his intention of answering Senator Ir by's article, the gist of which is, that he (Senator irbv) is not the real author or responsible for the stateinent in i he "Craddock article, but t hat. ,James Till man is, arid he stipports this aqsertion by aflldavits front Major W. F. Gary, Dr.Sampson Pope and one Matthew Tighe, his Secretary. Mr. Tilimaii's reply was to the effect thatSenator Irby had "acted the delib erate scotlhdrel in iixinix a certain amount of t rut I with error in order to give his defense an air of plausibility, and to throw t he whole blame on Cap tain Tillmuan." lie asserts that. Seiator I rby "cannot, use hin to caialit a political assassi nation." A singularly appropriate ex presslon! I will let. CaItainl TtIlman1 speak for himself. howetier. and will proceed to the consideration of Senator Irby's card. In the first place, I woulb congratulate the Senator himself and tihe piubic at larg3 tpon the wonderful change that my somewhat vigorous cx posure of t lie Serial or has had upon his mann er, and I am sorry I cannot add upon his morals for I am sat isfied that by the time 1. am through the putilic will bt- convinced that he has made a very ingenious defense, but has iseil his facts and I lie E.nglish language tor the purpose of concealing the trutlh in stead of telling it. Possib! I may know that part of the public " ho no iot owe Senator Irby well,somethia of an ex planation or al apology for t he inus tially vigorous bItt tppropriatelanguiage with which I drew stch an accurate tnid life-like pict tre of the great. Sena tor. They are not aware of the long continf-d provocation, of which "Crad (lock" is only a sample. and I would remind them that it would bP iipo-si ble to do justice to siuch a lt mnstrositv in anything like ordinary language, and "whatever is werth doing is worth do ing well." In order that the publi may vatch the whole matter clearly. I will state that last, Christnas, while snow-hound here in Columbia, and afterwards whilst still snow-hotind in Laurens, I prepared a rough article on the politi cal situation in South Carolina, headed "The Reform Movement." and "Some Christman Ieflection)s ci' an Old 1ie .former." This article, which was in tende(l is a sort of philosophical criti cisi or diat1liisition on th Ile Ufaorn moveient iii particular and polities in general in Smith Carolina was shown, and suggested to tOh criticisn of prom inent gentletnen in the State, in whose judgtient I had confidence, and whom I conbider( d coniparatively fre froimn partisan Ie-liig atnd prijumet .

I have shown how the talk about "an arttcle" originated n(l my explanatlon of the grand com line is simple and easy. I rbv heard of the Farley article, Shell had announced q;s intention to retire, which he could s rot understand (for there is no retiring in Irby), Farhy had c:illed by Senator litler's ollice one day with Col. Wil lainm II. 'erry, and knowing of Seina Lor Irb.y's bitter hatred, had ignored hin while in Washington, and Irby lit- , Lran to rin inille. At last he began to befieve there was a coibirnation, and he concluded to make the charge and t have it ptblished fii Gorgii, where it woulIA attract juist stiflicieit attention to be copie,l and re -ti I lie people of this State and creae diAt.rst t tmonig the l1eformcrs in this Stat' igainst.
