Under the Greenwood tree the old veterans of the Sixth Kegiment, south Carolina j Cavalry, today fraternized and listened ! to inspiriting counsel Irom wellknown j orators, ex-broth^rs in arms. From town and city, from field and farm, from bill and valley, they came?the j hlah ana the iowiy, the halt, the lame and the blind, sad remnants of horrent war?to meet once more the men with ^ whom they had stood side by side through the tempestuous battle?, until the thoroughfares of the little town! were packed and jammed with the 6,000 or 7,000 persons that gathered here on this 117th anniversary of American freedom. in H.a .y>am_ Afct, there is sun m wc , orv of those da} s when these heroessome ot them UDknelled,uncoftiDed, unknown?bared their breasts in defense of their cause. The Confederacy is still a name to conjure with, though -? not to arouse. 11 needed but the an^ nouncement that they were to see each other again and to hear some of their old leaders address them to briny them trooping to the scene?these warriors of more than Spartan courage <md Swiss heroism. The like of this occasion has never before bteu known in /iruenwonrL and Drobably never will be j known here again. Over 1,500 veterans of the Sixth Cavalry and nearly three times as many other visitors "helped make up the human tout ensemble of tne occasion. The leature of the day was the address of Gen. John fc>. Gordon, the gallant Georgian who is so near tne hearts of South Carolinians. Ea passant he referred to the differences among the ^ people of South Carolina, and he urged them to cease all tactional dissentiocs lest in the general disturbance they j insR nossession of their birthright. The people of Greenwood poured forth wholesale hospital'ty, and it appeared to be the chief end or the people to see that their guests ' were entertaiued. With all their endeavors, however, the crowd was by far too large to be comfortably handled. Greenwood is guiltless of a dispen-1 sary, but liquor was no stranger here . today. It is said that it was procured by means of underground tunnels, which were not difficult lor the weary to loPalmetto iacs were hav ?,-Vf v.*.,- _ ^ ing their fun to themselves during the | day, and one fellow hit the blind tiger so frequently that he wanted to make mincemeat of his fellow jaggers, but "got it in the neck" himselr instead. The companies that were present in uniform were as follows: CapersLigbt Infantry, Edgetieid, Capt. J. II. Tillman; Maxwell GuarCs, Greenville, Capt. Evans; Abbeville Kitles, Abbeville, Capt. Perrin; Electric City Cadets, Augusta. Capt. Bryson. The battle flags of the: Seventh and Tw?2^?i^^<Re2iments were carried ? ^la" 1 spilth B^r, HBTa- d SB^c. Col. F. g^^a]lace, Co^WstoL.e. NewbtrW&.

The welkin rang so that it seemed as it a thousand domous hat hold of the bell cord. It was aa m .ear-solitiine\ blood-freezine veil like > ?? that b-fore whic^">w?*JV^blpd in the ion? years ago. Whenohe din ceased < f ht* grand olcl Georgian stepped to the i front, mounted a chair and began his speech, which lasted forty minutes. It 1 was a worthy effort, full of lire, full of vim, full of eloquence, full of tne war- < nings of an unclouded vision, pregnane i witn tne teacmngs or a gieat neari. i; Gen. Gorden began by expressing his 11 thanks and appreciation or the recep-1! tion accorded by bis Confederate com-j' rades, and Confederate sisters of South I j Carolina. In response to this generous I' receptioa, he would say that he would s ever strive by vote and voice to pro- ! mote and defend the welfare and rights of this glorious people. He said he ] had no prepared speech or selected sub- 1 ject. He was here at South Carolina's 1 bidding to greet his old comrades, and ? on this birtnday of a people's indepen- . dence, to council with them in the in- 1 terest ot that people's welfare and li berties; to recall certaia memories of the past, as incentives to certain du- 1 ties for the future; to invoke the re- ( collections of former struggles for the 1 dead Confederacy as an inspiration for future services to the living republics. 1 The General then developed the , thought that with his old comrades J memories and duties should be correla- * l/lVe trims; cucto vvai iucluuiico to beget higher conceptions of the du- ' ties of peace; that the bravest and tru- ] est soldiers ought and as a rule, would 1 be the truest and best citizens. lie 1 then analyzed some of these duties and ' laid down as a foundation principle that next to our duty as Christians to I God and the Church comes our duty as I citizens to. the country and its insiitu tions. It was imporr -int to understand i fully the meaning of the words, "Oar < country and its institution}." Did you ever consider what is involved in the 1 momentous words, government, country, liberty? Take the word government. The . great Sidney declared that hum in government was the greatest earthly concern of man, and Sidney was right. < There was no property, no right, no home, no hie, no station, lofcy or lowly, which was nos in some way or to snmp extent touched and affec ed bv government?by the laws and policies. Lands, homes, railroads, schools and churcnes made' up hii*. a part ot our country. He spoke of how dear were the lands on which our lathei dwelt? marred. perhaps, with ruins, or erloritisd with the graves ot' martyred dead, but, he said, tneses lands are but a part Af riiir mnr.trv V*. VV*.. W.J . He spoke of the raiiroids, of their great value to the country, their civilizing influence, and of the importance of affording them the proper protection, tie made an extended reference to the manoer in which we cherish our schools and churches, training the intellect and : life for earth an.i timr, and the heart and spirit for heaven and eternity. Yet, he declared, ifcese do not constitute our country. Indeed, all com oiueu, lanus, mimes, laiuuaus, bvuuuu, entireties, are but a parr, and not the most important Dart of our country. By far the greatest part of our country comprise the men nnd women who inhabit and dominate it, who make its laws, shape its politics and decree its destines. lie next took the word "Liberty." How men love it and have always loved it and fought for it! How pray^ascended to heaven for it and on your lands, nor I,nor cnlsel u'1U |B it ia statutes. If Bi. it must live ia the Bad servic? of tue men Bountry. Hfoeated that by far the part ot' our country fffiiople who tiil its soil.

Hence the preservation of oar characters, ot our manhood and womanhood, becomes a matter to us of the South of overshadowing importance. I be General then asked, how are we to preserve cur manhood and sustain anu streng! hen Southern character'? In his analysis of this question Gen. Gor /3 Tk.>* nrao thn I UUIi &UUWCU I nai *? .*o buu I icundatioa ofa.il character, and that it was essential that the st-if-resnecc of the people, and especially oi the youns, should t>esustained aud developed, aud j he showed how this was tc be done, by | stiuiu'a'ing a just and honorable priue m the past his'.ory and achievements of this people. The great question 1 waul to submit to you is, what is to be done to preserve the manhood and womanhood of our cotiufry ? lie ho UCU. uuiu ju wao w iiv | was about to elucidate ibis idea, t>y a twitching oi tne throat, and he said | that he wanted somebody to get hnu something ^itn a lute sugar m it?

Tniuking that he lingered too long :mri lfvvir:civ over this tfiroat liniment.! Col. Armstrong called "Lime" and ike general hau to reunguish. Col. Armstrong, sotto voce?1 hope it comes back. Alter this exhilarating incident Geo. j GorJon resumed his spetch. Speaking ot the peopieot South Caroiina he said they must remember that they belonged to a race of uien who in all ages had been chosen for leadership on this earth. Said he: The lion roams tne forest, king of beast, because Jehovah madenim kins. The proud eagle mounts upward on his mighty pmiuns to meet the rising <i:? Mud follow it in its llisrhi. because God made him kine of biros And here I all around you these mighty oaks, tall pints and towering popiars litt their crests to heaven, while round and beneath them grow thorns and thistles j -?nd briars oa the same soil, warmed by ( the same sun, and yet they are the , monarchsoi' the iorest. Ana so, 1 tell i %-rti! Almicrhrv has spr hissicrnef. , ! .* vu) v-,vu ~ - ?? "-a-? i on the white inaus brow. He discussed the effect of different impressions made upon the youn# in mo'uldiug character and recalled th_> i past history of the South to demon- . strate the truth that there was abuodant, material lor sustaining the pride of self-respect of Southern youth. Heii was generoiH to other sections: but he claimed for the South leadership inj civil and military arenas in all the ju.ttrbeilum period. He cited many facts to corroborate the statement. When he came to the late war he declared that he did not share the ODin ions of those who felt that deserved praise of one section was necessary depreciation of *.he other section. He had 20 sympathy witn any such dwarfed conception or such conceptions of big ttry. There was enough of courage ind devotion and sacriGce on both sides to sustain the self-respects of both sections. It was the Southern soldier upon ivhose shoulders rested the responsiuilxy of leading the colonists through the wilderness for seven y^ars to final and glorious triumph. It was a Southern pen that put in mmortal words the great bill of rigats fliik? /Ion nnlahnjhus ii iiiuu uu;o uwj It was a Southern brain from which was bom tha'. immortal instrument the ;onstituti ?n of the Republic of AmercaV Is there not enough in all that to juild up your self-respect V But there is a thousand-fold more, [n New Orleaas a Southern hand liftthp hanripr nf American freedom md bore it to victory. In the third war it was a Southern soldier who ivent across the bummer sands of Mex,co and placed th>i stars and stripes )n the gilde I turrets of Mexico's capital. I)Dwn through the ages, down to the ia>e unpleasantness, it was Southern bram, patriotism, devotion and statesmanship that guided the destiny of Df this ?reat republic and left it without a stain upon its record. Gen. Gordon paid a tribute to South Carolina tor the noble way in which tae people came togeuierj axt-r uie war to build up their waste places. Her people never deserted their Stat" while she was naiiPd to the cruel cross of reconstruction. Are you going to drift apart now? Are you goin^ to teach the lesson of blotting out the sun and moon that the lesser stars may shine? Are you goiog to' clip the eagle's wing that the owl and the bat may the better soar ? Are you going to cut down tbe cedars of Lebanon that tae blackjicks may grow. Are you going,as the white rac^, to fritter away your strength in bitterness and dissension and deprive yourselves of the po.ver with which ihe Great Jehovah has commissioned you until interior races shall lay hold of tbe helm of this great commonwealth V Taere were various negative ejaculations to these significant questions put by Gen. GorJon. and be dually said. Am i treading on dangerous ground, my friends? (Voices?Say wnat you please) Gen.-Gordon?I am not here as a partisan of any man or any set of men. I care not for men save as they are instruments in the hands of Go'd for the liberty and progress and rights of the people. Solemnly and seriously, with all the respect which these uplifted hands of mine to Heaven in token of my sincerity, I warn you against these divisions. My countrymen, you are treading ou the very brink of an abyss which is bottomless as to your future, t'ome back together stand to your brothers, s:and tothejState, bury these contemptible differences, which are unworthy of a thought as compared with the interests of the State of South Carolina. Let brotherhood, harmony and unity live; let the highest thought that, ever weils up in your hearts be the controlling thought in your actions. dome hack to the old track of truth where you stood when you redeemed South Carolina from the foreign plunderer. Come back under ttie old liag and rally around it, and then when your eyes shall be turned for the last time to look upon these blue, balmy skies, which a benignant God bends above you, you shall behold this glorious commonwealth, your beloved south r.nrnlina still ftrer-.t. nrosnerous. Droi'.d. grand and free. Gen Gordon's concluding sentence elicited great applause and numerous baskets of flowers were sent to him by lady admirers. THEY WANTED BUTLEK. iVher the applause subsided there were loud calls for Gen. Butler who, however introduced as the next speaker, Col. "Pnil" Carrol of Augusta. Col. Carroll made a very happy address, full of humjr and eloquence. As he concluded he urged the people "as long as you uve you snoiua see mat iiren. Butler is sustained ii every effort he makes. He has led you nobly in war and peace." (Applause.) Col. Carroll said mat the way in which these people had built up their places from the ashes of war proved that they were worthy of their sires and of Anglo Saxomsoc. As the Irishman put it, the trouble with the South was that it was too lull of absentees. Some desert was reserved for the last iu the speech of Col. Janus Arm siryug", iae eiuqueuu <uiu iiuu ex-ccnfederate or' Charleston. Ilis remarks were a concoctioQ of infinite wit and genuine eloquence. Col. Armstrong; mentioned the changes that have taken place in toe appearance ot the soldiers since the war. The cavalry have changed more than the intently.

Sbel'. F<trley, T-ilt>ert and Ozhern?Irby Doioc More Against Kefortn Movent>nt Than Any Man. Spartanburg, S. C., July G.?The following open letter from Gen. Farley addressed to the editors r?f the Piedmoat Headlight and Columbia Register was made public today: "Various articles in reference to politics and the 'blacklisting' which is going on have appeared in the newspapers of this State and my name has been frequently used in connection therewith, but I have paid very little attention to them, regarding them as merely sensational, in most cases, or as the petty malice of designing parties who only wanted to create more bitrern*-ss ant] division in the 'Reform' rank*, to which I did not wish to contribute. "Later developments, however, have convinced me that there is a settled. malicious and determined purpose, no the part, of certain parties, not only to blacklist but to misrepresent and malign me and others, which has found expression in such a way as to cause my friends to a^k me the re?s > for ir. The first intimation I had of it, vvas in tne appearance of tbe following correspoodence in the Augusta Chronicle, signed 'Craddock,' which appeared immediately altertne inaugural of President CJevelaud and was copied by various papers in this Srate: 'The leaders of the South Car;>lmt R f^rm move merit that assembled 1 ? .shitigton during the inau^ui alio > otcm;d to have more impor'ant business than sightseeing. The rank and hie of the Reform movement in the State have, to all appearances, b>-eu satisfied with th^ leadership ot' Tillman and Irbv, but not so with some of the lieutenants. Oae of the Slate otliciais announced to a supposed eoecny of Governor Tillman and Senator Irb> that the followinj* comoination brad been agreed upou: Congressman Shell, who signed trie prepared manifesto in 1890. and who. ail at once, recently became so disgusted with poiuics aud politicians that uehad himself interviewed announcing his retirement from politics, is to be the Autiriliruanue candidate for Governor posing as a healing plaster between the two tactions. Senator iiutler is to be their candidate for re-election. General Farley is to succeed Sneil in Congress. Mr. Talbert is to have no oppo suion from the Conservative faction for Congress aud is to receive the Con servauve support, ine posmon of Adjutant General is said to have been offered Capt. J. II. Tillman, but it is likely he will not accept.' "Later, an article appeared in the Liurensville Ilerala, iu which the cnarge is made that I attended a Donaldson caucus at .Spartanburg, in which various parties mentioned as 'traitors/ etc., were'sharpening their Urutus daggers' for Uen Tillman, and like expressions. .Now, I would have been content to let tnese things so by, without dignifying them by a denial, relying upon my record and character as a ->ut nciem rerur.auon wim an interested and well informed parties. I and many others saw the animus and purpose with which they were written, and could easily tell the course from which they came, but later developments have convinced me that it is my duty to expose them. It may be as well, however, while I am writing to say in my own behalf, as well as the others named, that there is not one particle of truth in the alleged 'combination' said to have been agreed udou in Washington, and that the whole thing sprang from malice and the imagination of one who evidently aspirts to be the'champion liar'of the State. This is not only a simple denial but a challenge to the real author of the 'Craddock' article, who I shall name, to produce auy credible evidence to support his statement. If necessary I will appeal to all the parties named, to Butler. Shell, Taibert aDd J. II. Tilimao, as to whether there has ever been even a conversatioD or intimation or effort at such a scneme. Although it is a small matter, it may be well also to state, by way of showing how lies are manufactured, that no Parley either previousi> knew of, was invited to or attended the so-called Donaldson caucus, at which the ''Brutus daggers' were sharpened. Indetd, I am yet to be informed whether the caucus of All aacemen at Spartaoburg had aav political iiitfnificance, and the lirst intimation that T ntrt-nripH if nront ?V.n UliMU JL. w v\. tiVAUVi * w H cuu AlU LAJ LU?J iiUUr Stanyarne Wilson Jto Columbia, and later the LaurensvTlle Ilerald, which possibly got its intorinauoii from the same source. The parties who attended Senator Donaldson's Alliance caucus cm easily teil who were cr.?-d, or invited to, or did attei.d the Donaldson caucus, as I suppose they ha la right to do, and also as to the obj: ct. This, however, is a matUr of litrle imDort ance. As trie 'blacklisting'- and tne 'Cradtiock' article charging a political combination c.maiencrd la Washington, and has been followeci up by various articles and interviews m the paper?, charging conspiracy and alluding to various partus as 'Lrairors,' e:c., the'Reform' aiovrmeot, thus causing great dissatisfaction, confusion and suspicion, as weil as threatening conteution and division iu uur ranks, it is or me greatest impor'ance to liad out whai is th- c-i'jse ;.?f i*. who is at the ooaom of it or r">L, < >iii t- for it, ana. in short, to inquire ij uic rc.l author of "Craid^ek.' "I will state simply that I have the evidence, in writing, in my possession which shows, with other fac's that I am in possession of, th;tt one ."Senator J-jhn Laurens Manning Irby dictated the aruc:e to his private secretary and had it sent to Th Chronicle under the nam of 'Crwddock.' the r^ciilnr r\>rr?* spjiidenr, without, his knovv'edge and couScnt. and that, the outrage would nave been t-xp-js-d (*s it will b.j now) oat for the peculiar circumstances and reiauonsexisiiugat t:iac time. I sta-jd r^-ady to give my a^tnority and evidence on denial i>r demand, There is the 'milk in the cocoaaut' nnd the cause of ail of the disseasiou and confusion in uur ranks. This great 'political accident' aud 'political misfortune,' who represents the greatest mistake of the Iietorni movement, is at the bottom of it all. ,;.No wonder that we have discord and division in our ranks, when a United St;:se.i Senator descends to s;ich flirty and disjrrxrtefnl m<?thnrJ* nf liiinr ikg liis former personal and ^political fjiends and allies, who nave rendered far greater service th*n he, to t?;e Reform partp. "Xuvv, tn- object and animus of Sentor Irby is perfectly clear.

Knowing that he has no real power or intlupnce of his own, he tries in every way to i-irag Governor Tillman into the quarrels t > attach himself to him like a Siamese twin, hoping to save himself, and un- j der the cry of The leadership of Tillman and Irby' to brand the rest, who do not approve of his I'ODhsh and un | urincipiru m^iuous, <ib utul>U2> ivj tut* 'Reform movement' and as sharpening their 'Brutus daggers for lien Tillman' ' Ilis purpose is to bully and keep down every other political leader in .South Carolina who belongs to the Reform party and will not do nis bidii ng by using Governor i'llimau's name and inlluence in connection with his own,; t'4 create suspicion and distrust, and then w;.-h his former cry of hate and discord, to raise old Cam, and keep hell a brewing until he can get back into the Seuatr. "Thcsirnple truth is that the'R-f >rm movement' is a permanent success, and in no danger, except from such men as irov. ins oniy -Lrauors ld it nrn t those who woula divert it from its true purpose and prostitute it to th^ir o .vr j base and ambitious aims fad ends, and j Governor Tillman will bef&fa if he JviJl be true tot'ie St.ate, the Reform m >veme i" and to himself, aud may well say: *F ><n such lrirnds auJ advisers as 6e.. o irby, good Lord deliver me.'
