Ncal. lie 0 does bo beoauso of hiB being the chief t offioer in ohargo of the prosooutien of k Colonol Ncal. Hero is his statement: J' "Whilo tho case of the Btato vs W. A. Neal waB still within tho control of f tho oourts I folt that propriety, if not justioo, dictated that tho proaoouting c offioer should remain silent as to certain i statemontB made iu behalf of the do- t fondant through tho public prints, t criticising tho motives of tho prosecu- a tion, impugning tho impartiality of tho I presiding judge and toudiug to misload i the uniuformod publio a? 10 tho faots > of tho oaao; but inaimuch as tho governor has granted a full, unconditional pardon to the defendant, justioo to the c people of tho state, whose servants pub- t lie cffioials are to tho oauso of truth anil i to the integrity and ability of ono of 1 ermine, impels too to spa&k^vruu^Uie o propriety of my oourso tho future must hi decide. ft "Fcr tho past few day numerous lo statements and predictions havo been m made in tho daily press, as to tho prime k< responsibility for which it is not ncces- st Bary to inqiira. It has been said, 'the fc attorney general, it is said, gave tr Uoloael Noal's bonlimen a rcooipt, for 01 the amount duo by him to tho stato.' oc No such rooeipt over was given, for to tho reason that it had been hold all st along by this offioe that tho bocdsmon wero liablo for only a part of what Neal w was doe tho st.V.o, and only for this part tr was any receipt given or aDy money ss paid. Communication was begun with a: Nsal immediately upon tho rcooipt of h: iheroport of tho committee, early in tl August, 1899. and continued from time d, to time unprofitably until August 29, cl when warrants woro sworn out against 01 him and hiB arrost followed. h 'Demand was made on his bondstron tc on September, 4, 1899, and tho sum of 8 $2,812 41 finally paid by thorn on the h 29th day of tho same month, after oom- u nlai nta rx? n?n i > rn tia rn<l t.ta rl n t r? l.n T 1'iniuin nuiu j'l wj'anu, lunuj k\J UU A nerved in the suit against tho bonds- ir men. The receipt given distinctly states d the items of tho Bhortage included in m the sum. h "It was also said in Wednesday's 41 State, by one apparently 'speaking with gi knowledge:' 'During tho hearing (in o petition for pardon) tho governcr ask- j cd Mr. Kelson sumo questions as to i what amount Colonel Keal still owed p the state, or whether by his aots tho state stood in danger of losing anything. & * * * Offhand replies were given to a tho questions asked by tho governor, fc but later on written explanations will a probably bo filed,' and 'the governor a will first refer tho petition to tho trial t judge and tho soiioitor before going i rurther in the matter.' 1 am justified in saying no reference ^^^^p!^^^^B^maa^inc^oLse<iuonily the prcsocu pai tion now has tho lirbt opportunity to bo int heard; and did no ono now speak in be bo( half of tho Btato it might reasonably bo me inferred that tho statements of faot ini contained in the petition remain uu coi challenged. lav "Inasmuch as the governor, od the ( 15(h of August, 1 SDH, in transmitting tin tho report of the investigating oemmit- tui too, said in his ofinial letter to tao at- jui Urnoy general. '1 ask that you ttlc ty.

And I should have reminded him '' that in his report to tho general assorn- " bly ho used this language: \It will '' not bo impropor for mo in this connce ,* tion tooommund tho thoroughness and efficiency with which this ooinmitteo " nas aisonargcu mo ainicuii unties moy had in Land, as you will aco Iroui tho report horowith muiittod.' "J ho attorney gonoral has disoharged his duties in thin matter faithfully and I rcoom- 1 mend his diligence.' " . Having beon confined, ar a Hourco of information, to common rumors and to K tho artiolcs published in tho nowspa 1 pors as to tho facts presented on behalf ? of tho defondaut, 1 am not informed of j any ovidenoo laid before his excellency to make him ohango his conclusions as ' to tho faots established by tho oouimittoo's report and 1 reitcrato that aftor taking advantago of tho law to savo g tho loss of 12,(500, which tho bank now n sustains, and aftor collection from .1. a B. Watson for tho benefit of tho bank i that amount duo for oonviot hire for i| another year, tho state has lost on ao- d oount of tho offioial misoouduot of W. n A. Neal at least $2,(500, as formorly ro i* ported. t 1 notioo in today's Stato a statement i of what, by way of euphemism, we t may o?!l his ex aellonoy's reasons for t granting tho potitid^cf pardon. Thoso e appoar, generally speaking, to bo throo: t Firit. That the potitions were nam-' ously signed "by gentlemen of the J ghest repu ation and staoding." This *900 is forceful possibly booause "the >ioo of tho peoplo ia tho Toico of Qod'* j i the audito. whose worship is direoti in a certain direction. Scoond. Tho fcurctiea of the offi rial and of Ncal urged the pardon upon le ground that tho defendant had reaid thom what they wore oompollcd ) pay tho state on aooount of his deiloatiou. This reason would i'self be onolusivo if the proaeoutions had been [ rought by tho atalc for the bonefit of heac bondstuon. Third. It aeoma to bo taken for grant- 1 d that humiliation and repentance for 1 ho deeds dono in tho body are eatis- < notion before the lav lor mo vioia.iod * f tho criminal statutes of tho state. Weie tho governor, uador our oon- J titution, olothed with the priestly pow 1 r of absolution on aooount of a change 3 f heart and a promise of a better life, 1 hi8 reasou wou.d perhaps havo weight, mt one can scarcely throw eff tho con- 1 iotion that had this penitent bcon ' ricndlesB and weak ho would havo teen loft to tho ohain gang to "bring * orth fruits meet for rcpoulanca." As it would bo an iojustico to oon rude that tho reasons for granting tbc lardon arc fully set out in the stato- 1 no at above aaaljzid, I shall look to he allegations of tho potition and tho itatcniontB contained in tho lottcrs landed out by tho governor for publioa ion and mato suoh runnirg ooinment is appcrs to mo pertinent. Tho potition atatcB that: (?) "Tho offense of which Ncalwas ionvioted was a toohnioal violation of he taw." lu addition to saying that all irimes under statutes aro technical vioaliona of tho law [ call attention to the int investigating oomui'.tteo and upon a trial in court, in whioh ho oon- * sscd that at the tjiuo of the colotion of tho funds in question ho v ado false staiomcnts to the book.cper as to tho amounts oolleoted, ^ ated thtt he had expended tlio funds ir his personal uso aad finally, in oon- ^ adiction those confessions, sworo , i the stand that ho had properly ao j junltd for them, and this is roferrcd i in the potition as a "full and frank i atement." e (b) ' At a former term of court he , as tried atd acquitted of kreaoh of t ust with fraudulent intont as to tbe ; m?o funds for whioh ho was indiolcd j cd oonvictcu for not turning ovor to c is bucocssor." 1 havo beforo me all of ; ic30 indictments in tbc cases. Tho in- j icfmeiit npon whioh he was acquitted j cargo! the f'auculent conversion of illy #241. Tho indictment under whioh 0 ivaB convicted charged tho failuro 1 turn over Hums aggregating #1,544. o thai for three separato sums, whioh 0 has converted to hi6 own uie, has ovor been acquitted of, oven triod. here isstill undisposed of against him 1 tho oourt of gsneral sessions an iuiotmcnt for breach of trust for the aversion of #200, but inasmuch as his ] umilation and repentance is expcoted i '10 redeem his life and rcinstato him 1 elf in the good opinion of his fellow < itizens," it would probably bo an un I ustitiablc expenditure of public funds o press this prosooutiou at the next crm of oourt. i (j) "Thio turn of monoy was paid, ? s heroinbeforo stated, prior to trial nd with no idea of compromise." As teforo stated, the monoy was paid only iter the defendant had boon arrested 1 ,ed had given bc.il, and then by the >ondsmen, against whom suit was hreatonod. ' (d) ''As the law has boon vindicated id. * " * ' If this statement is not af ended to imply that tho stato has 111 in hold harmless in full by this pay- * nt, then it doos moan that tho iebarsemcnt of the bondsmen should be ? isiaered full satisfaction before the 8 r for Meal's misdeeds. [o) "Such being the Bt&tute nnd ni s faois showing that he had not mod it over within thirty days, the . ry could not but lied a verdict of guil" Surely his Excollonoy could notbo in forget that ou the motion for a new ^ al before .Judge Gary on July 1 his ^ jnor was subjected to tho painful or nJ al of having stated before him as sunds for a uew trial: "Beoauio the n, urt refused to charge tho jury in fo w rd to the authority of the bupcrinionnt of the penitentiary. T "Kecsusc tho court failed and ro- w scd to chargo tho law as set lorth in * otion551. t< "Hccauseyour honor's rulings during ^ e progress of tho trial wore uot a fair p: id impartial exposition of the law and u ?ro prejudioial to the ocnstitutional ii ghts of tho defendant." o At last the amende honorable lias h :en mado to his Honor, Judge Gary, * id tho petition bears evidence to the 6 oparliality of tho judgo and to tho 4 :iforuiauoo of dutyb> the jury. Alas, istice has come oa laden wings ana c ijnation's generosity is tinctured 1 11 h a suspicion of expediency. 1 Among tho lottora which his Excel- 0 coy hfcj Loon considerate enough to ' vo to the papers for publication, | oug wua his reasons, and presumably > meeting with his approval in sonliicnt, ?ro touie charging that "the peule belu ve that liie;prcsocution against ( ol.

So general in its charaour is , bo ohargo thai common fairness would t omanu specifications. Who were ' actuated by i>olitioal nreiudicc?

If tho governor was a party to the no j arious oonspiraoy fie has made amends nd will douDtlcss have that inoroy ex- ' ended to him that he has so freely bo c towed.

Wjrj J .Jlll.u, 1W1, U/ VIUUIO niVilSCII, n, t.j Washington, Auk. 25. A Bible Incident not often noticed is tere used by Dr. Talmuge to set forth >racticnl and beautiful truth; text, II. Jorin thians 11:33: "Througha window n a basket was I let dow n by the wall." Bermons on Paul in jefil, Paul on liars hill, Paul In the shipwreck, Paul >efore the e.tnhedrin, Paul before 'elix, are plentiful, but in iny text we nave Paul in u basket. Damascus is a city of white and glistening architecture, sometimes called "the eye of the east,"sonietimescal!ed "a pearl surrounded by emeralds," at me time distinguishcc! for swords of the best material, called Damascus blade*, and upholstery of richest fabric called damask. A horseman of the name of Saul, ridiyg toward this city, had been thrown from the saddle. The horse had dropped upder o flash from the sky, w hich at the same time was so bright it blinded the rider for many days, ami, I think, so permanently injured his eyesight that his defect of vision became the thorn in the flesh he afterward speaks of. He started for Damascus to butcher Christians, but after that hard fall from his horse he was n changed man and pre; hed Christ in Damascus till the city was shaken to its foundation. ^mmmrnrnrnmmmmm$ n i h in i, fj r hi a. rrest, nnd the popular cry is: "Kill im! Kill him!" The city is surroundd by a high wall and the gates are vntchcd by the police lest the Cilician irencher escape. Many of the houses ire built on tlie wall, and their baleolies projected clear over and hovered ibove the garden outside, ltwascusomnry to lower baskets out of these )alconies and pull up fruits and llowirs from the gardens. To this day viators at the monastery of Mount Sinai ire lifted and let down in baskets. D?t ectives prowled around from bouse o house looking for Paul, but lilt riends hid him, now In one place, now n another. lie la no coward, us .10 inidents in his life demonstrate, but be eels his work is not done yet, and so j io evades assassination. "Is that ireacher here?" the foaming mob ihout at one house door. "Is that falatic here?" the police shout at anotlir house door. Sometimes on the street ncogulto be passes through a cloud of dinched fists and sometimes he secretes himself on the house top. Atlasttbeinfuriated populace geton ?ure track of fclni. They have positive evidence that he Is in the house of on? if ths Christians, the balcony of whose liotue reaches over the wall. "Here he Is! Here he is!" The vociferation and" blasphemy nnd howling of the pursuirs are at the front dpor. They break n. "Fetch out that gespelizer and let lis hang his head on the city gate. Where is he?" The emergency was terrible. Providentially there was a good stout basket iu the house. Paul's friend* fasten a rope to the basket. Paul steps into it. The basket is lifted to the edge of iho balcony on the wall, and then, while Paul holds the rope with both hands his friends lower away, carefully nnd cautiously, slowly but surely, farther down and farther down, until the basket strikes the ii'iui,. a; oot alone starts gutonlbutfa- 1 ous missionary tour the story of ' bich has astonished earth and Heavi. Appropriate entry in Paul's diary travels; "Through a window in a isket was I let down by the walL" I observe first on what a slender ten's great results hang. The ropeuker who twisted that oord fastened that lowering basket never knew jw much would depend upon the { rength of it. How if it had been brok- | i and the apostle's life had been, ished out? \Yhat would have become ! ' the Christian church?

Expansion was \ cuctcd, ho hold, upon Democratic t nin01 pies; but thiB new variety was oo t ,n eniitely ditforcnt plan?one utterly 1 oieign to our customs, inbtitutions aud < nodes of thought.

Mr. Henderson read copiously from Senator Mchaurin's speech delivered" a few days before the ratihcitiuD of the Paris treaty, in which he hold t! at a colo oial policy was unconstitutional and that it v. as not i roper to spread religion at tl.e point of the bayonet.

George Johnstone made another ah?raoitihiijally strong speech and by his cxprostivo delivery and forceful way of putting thing he won friends just as ho did at Union. 11c "aid it was tho imminent peril he considered South Carolina to be in just now that brought him beforo tho pooplo. He gavo, as at Union, tho reasoning by which ho had reached his conclusion on tho issues now before tho pooplo. Ho had observed South Carolina's onward movement sinoo 1876 and bolieved that South Carolina would soon bo tho lead ing tcxtilo Stato in tho Union. He had looked oarcfully at tho men who advo catcd those now principles and found noiuo who had voted for Hryan expressing publioly tho hopo that MeKin'.oy would bo elected. The principles involved in all this wero thoio of our forefathers, those Jeflcreou bad fought for. Thoy wore calling it Commercial Demooraoy. Ho didn't know exsotly in wnat it was commeeoial unless it was in federal patronage This was the artiolo of oommoroo and tho postoffice tho exchange of small trado.
