In South Carolina this expression seems to be paraphrased into 'the dead are always wrong", "The pvil that men do lives after them; ;he good is often interred with their pones". As truly as this was said of Daesar so might it have been applied to the dead editor of the Columbia State when hia slayer was 011 trial for his life at Lexington court house, [n the aforesaid trial every act of Mr Gonzales was made to appear to his disadvantage by the astute attorneys for the defense and the real ?ood that he did they kept carefully hidden in the back'giound. The trial has passed into history *nd the incidents and circumstances uttendiug it have been fully discussed from one end of the State to the other. Every intelligent person has formed au opinion as to the cutcoine of the trial and these opinions ure freely expressed on every band. It is the proviuce of a newspaper to discuss a matter of public interest in a spirit of fairness and impartiality, so as to. eliminate the dement of personal'feeling which is Apt to creep into a discussion where partisan feeling iruns high. We have read the evidence carefully as printed in the daily newspapers and followed closely the arguments of the opposing counsel based upon this evidence, and we feel it due our readers to try to giveonr conclusions as dispassionately and imperson ally as possible. The plea of self-defence at first set up was sbon virtually abandoned by counsel for the defense, who then in inverse ratio emphasized the smart, the sting and the humiliation that Tillman felt as the result of certain editorials written by Gonzales and printed in the State newspaper prior to and during the last campaign. * That Tillman had strong provocation in these writings no one will deny, ana had he killed his ehemy in the heat of the campaign, giving him a show for his life, there would have been thous ands of good people to sympathize with him. It was the manner of the killing rather than the deed itself for which Tillman deserved punishment, and his impossible plea of self-defense showed that he was unwilling to rest his case on its merits; that is, that five months after the writing occurred he with malice in his heart walked up to an unarmed man and shot him to death. vVe have never belonged to that class of newspapers or individuals who woula apotheosize the late editoi of the State. He had his faults which were as glaringly conspicuous as his virtues. In our humble judgment his arraignment of Tillman was beyond all reason, and granting that the major part of his charges were true we think it was unwise and imprudent and unnecessary to reitsrate his denunciation continuously in the most offensive style. Human nature is weak and frail and prone to i*rr and it would be hard indeed to find a man who is willing day after lay to have his every act pilloried in i newspaper. But whatever right Tillman might have had to seek revenge at the proper time and place and in the proper manner, he forfeited it all by his long course of inaction, and the way lie finally went about revenging himself cannot but be condemned, rhere are perhaps circumstances in which aman would be justified in shooting down a fellow-man without warning, but no such circumstances ittended this case- If there had to he a mortal combat each man should have had an equal chance. The jf * \ / manner of the killing proved very conclusively one of Gonzales' accusations against Tillman to be' true, viz; that of cowardice, and a thousand juries cannot vindicate him of the charge.

Micah Jenkins shines with conspicuous brightnessj-undimmed by the lapse of years. It is befitting that the portrait of this gallant leader should grace our legislative halls along with others of that grand galaxy of heroes whose valorous deeds have illumined the pages cf the history of the proud Palmetto State. In another column I is published a letter giving to any of his old comrades who may desire to do so the opportunity of contributing to the fund that is being raised for purchasing his portrait to be presented to the Legislature.
