The Senator in Most TVrrJb: v Scotirget! bv the Genera!?It 1>>*s Mora' Ch *-<-c'*>r Deaoanred, H ts Mental Ab'l'iy Q-iectloned and Bis Pluck D-rlerf. Columbia, S. C., July 26 ? Adjutant General Farley, who orieiaaliv intended to hold his rc-ph- to 5v?ph*'t Irby till vjapt xiiuiiau twin i nrtvi-11,3 -aj I night reconsidered the roattT and decided not to wait for th-return of Cant Tillman from Washington and the issuing of his article, an'i save it out for publication General Farley exhibited the several letters that he refers to in the article. The reply is as follows: I believe the public are generally aware that I have beeo waiting on Capf tain Jamas Tillman, who announced ' '?intention of answering Senator Ir'< article, the gist of which is, that he itor Irbv) is not the r^al au'hor or responsible for the statement in'he 'Craddock article, but thaf James Tillman is, and he supports this assertion by affidavits from Major W. F. Gary, Dr. San)pson Pope and one Matthew Tighe, bis Secretary. Mr. Tillman's ieply was to the effect tat iJwitSenator Irby had ' acted the delib^?"crate scoundrel in mixing a certain p amount of truth with error in order to f give his defense an air of plausibility, ar.dto throw the whole blame on Captain Tillman." He asserts that Senator Irby "cannot use him to c.immit a political assassination." A singularly appropriate expression! I will Jet. Captain Tillman speak for himself, howeuer. and will proceed to the consideration of Senator Irby's card. Jn the first place, I would congratulate the "Senator hi'useif and the public at large upon the wonderful change that my somewhat vigorous exDnsure of the Senator has had upon nis manners, and I am sorry I cannot add upon bis morals for I am satisGed that bytbe time I am tnrough the public will be convinced that behasmartea very ingenious defense, but nas used his facts and t he English iaDeuage for tbe purpose of concealing the truth instead of telling it. Possibly I may knowthat part of the public who do not owe Senator Irby well, something of an explanation or ?n apology fcr the unusually vigorous but appropriatelanguage with which I drew such an accurate and life-like picture of the tfreat Senator. They are not aware of the long___ continued provocation, of which "Craddocfe" is only a sample, andlwouid remica them that it would be impossii ble to do justice to such a monstrosity in anything like orcinary language. and * "whatever is wcrth doing is worth ccine well." In order that the public may catch the whole matter clearly, I will state that last Christmas, while snow- bound here in Columbia, and j?ftTWords whilst still snow-hound in Laurens, I prepared a rough article on the political s:tuat;on in South Carolina, hvadt-d "The Reform Movement," and "^ome Christmas Inflections <. f an Old Rs- ; former." This article, whic1! whs intended as a snrt of philosophical criticism or disquisition on the Reform ' rf~" "movement in particular and politics in c?n?rai m South Carolina was shown ' and suggested to Ihe crit'cism of prominent gentlemen in the State, in whose 1 judgment x tjhq coirnuvrrx>%*7._urLfi a*h^ I considered comparatively free from * Hk partisan feeling and prejuuic<\ It, was written frcm a patriotic standpoint ^ % and was intended for the good or the ( * v^/vTf/.yv,Lnt...rW rrs 'kfUM!r A! ! 11 PI XVCIVIUJ ujuvriuruiauu <- ' yw* ?.- ?^ on the troubled waters''of trie State.

So far * as Governor Ti Inn.n ia cor c mod ; there is hard'y a single sentiment in ' the article he vs not heard t-p [ express and its tenii i purpose, u ne ' and auvice '.s in strict accordance with 1 my wen known views ;.s giv>n to him ' and others on man> ceca.si'. ns While conteaaoJati'ih* i;s public-.tion ' | under a nomde plume on i s merit I ' r readittoMr. Jouii U.

Mr. Capers *nd Cap> ^ tain Tillman wt-re both anxious to Sputlishthe arliclo. but! wrhheM it j for further consideration, an*.; in accordance with the aovice ot some of my friends, and in conspiration ot the < fact that iv contained s^m^- criticism of j Governor Tillman, to vvh? se admiuis 1 tration I belonged, I had almosr, if net 1 jltnooi h<-r ?h?t diiTif-il thp CjT Dllb- 1 lishing, but now tince it his bien 1 brcugLt in question 1 w:li 1-til go to the press witn the rtqu^st that ^ltLoagh 1 it is somewhat beg every paper in ttie " . State will puDiish it, and I cot only ask 1 Dut I challenge a cri;jci?m ot' :tiroau the standpoint of truth, true Democraa ty and patriotism. ] Governor Tillman is strong enough 1 and brave euough, not ouiy to stcir,d, . buttoi-cept the cmicism itcontams s in proper spirit, for, as Senator Irl>y oncesa'd to him in oue of his ilishes 1 of truth and honestv: ,4We both know i tfcat Farley never fl itters us nor tells any lies." Possibly it the article is : carefully read and ns advice ht-edtd it 1 may jet represent the good that is to come out of this controversy. r ' J ?- ---* ^ J- - I ? u / ^ ' i nau oeen jnvitt-a u> si?y ?iiuvip|& tain Tillman in Washington, but the rush of visitors was s*> great thdt 1 re- | |g maintd with the staff, aLd during my entire stay i dii not have more K than a live minute conversation W with him nor diet 1 read or ? exhibit the article to any cue [ in Washington, mee'iog numbers ?>f [ mead?, and stekisg no^tice tbf-re. 1 | was cons?oTr?<7s>iitf?ged socially, and w- had but little to do" with politics in any form. The charge that 1 had a con versatiou with Captain Tillman and offered him an article lor publication, which he refustd, and toid him of a > combination which had been a^retd upon, ottering bi:u the posnion of Adjutant General is as pure and unadult e rated a ne as was ever put, upuu p<?pei no mai ter who is the author or insti/ gator ot it. Indeed, on "Saturday after me inauguration," when Senator Irby rsays it took place, I had leit Washington aiiCi was speeding oil my way to South Carolina. The allusion to the article which I had shown Captain <-r;ough to satisfy his vanity, a good; <:e?l of my old friend, Major G*rv, and J i'is brisking nil over with Irby, in whose interest v. a* ir, written, aud tvr what puroose, who inspired it. c >ncocttdiT.fr actually wrote ir? Did Matthew, Mark, L'ik3 and John all have a hand in this epistle to the Georgians,and seud ir under .Jam0;? Tillman's nom dt plume, CracJduck ? Was i Jim implicated iinself. or, as they J; h'jva etif.h fcvtranrrilfiari' r?*illS t".t? 1 the public believe, aid he originate and j writ-jit himself? I hav^shown no?v ' the talk about "an article" originated, | and my exp aeatioa of the grand com-1! bine is simple and easy. Irbv bsard of the Fariey article, Sneil had annuunc-e. i h:s iDteotioo to retire, which h^ could not understand (for there is no retiring in Irbv). Farley hid c-tlied by Senator Builer's oflice on-day with Col. Wil- . liam II. Perry, and knowing of Seni-1 tor Lrby's bitter hatred, bad ignored him while in Washington, and Irby b-gan to ruminate. At. last he began to , U-lieve tfcer* was a combination, and to rrul'ii th--- ^'"arcrA and 'w'JUViUUV.U ui^uv/ V4A? V v ?? ^V? have it published id Georgia, where it woulJ attract just sullicient , attention to ba copied and reach the , people of this State and crea'e distrust among the Reformers in this State against Sivli and Farley and Talbert. ! :oo, although in his Ust article he tries ! tofckillfullv iie the Talbert part cut. This was the scheme, and if young Jim ' Tillman had anything to do with it, he was 1 he victim of Senator Irby, and now by "mixing erior and truth Irby is playing the part of a dehoerat^ scoundrtl by trying to throw the *hole ( blame" on Captain Tillman, and making him the sc.ipegoat, thus committing a still greater crime, that of sacriticing the Governors nephew to shield himself from exposure. "Blood is (and ought !o be) thicker than water," and I know that Governor Tillman knows Irby and has tound out long- ag > that the charge of a combination on the part of Shell ami myselt with General 13ntler or anyone else is tot-iliy untrue. Since i-", ha> been alluded t<>, he and Mr. George Tillman b >ta know that 1 have done more towards healing the breaun between them than any one. Iude?-<i, I am totally unlike Irby in this, that 1 hdvp made none but mends for nim, while Irby h:is constantly LUdUC UiLU C11CUJICO dUU uitu old and well tried friends from him. as I am prepared to show. But who is trjing to st.-md up for the truth of the Craddock article or the alleged c mbination now ? Not Jim , Tilhna-, on whose authority they say it was published, atd in lact no one but Irby, "'the real author," aad he on- : ly says that "every ooe who redds the papers and has watched the turns in politics will see that there was truth and lots of it in what Tillman said." j "What papers? Concluu'ng his re- ( marks Irby says "Why d'd not General , Farley ask of me aa explanation if he ] believed what he pretends to b-lieve of | the assumed wronsr I did him?" And < I answer, why, John, did you not ask j of me an explanation of Jim Tillman's < wonderful ct mbiae, when he told you ' instead of ("according to your own ac- ] knowledgmenr) encouraging him to t put itiu the papers?

And after James Tillman hud told me all about the "Craddock" ( article, and many other things corroo- i ora'ive ot his statement, 1 told him ; that I intended to expose lrby, ina c asked Dim to state dciiuitely lor my t protection who the real author w*s, as id addition or postscript to his 2y.h i May letter. He then sat down and de- c iiberately added to that letter: < "P. i>.?It is hardly necessary for me 1 to add that lrby dictated the article to s his "secretary." \ This is the whole story, ac.d the pub- < he knows the rest. ; I ste no u^eiojiulice fae Crews alii- j i tfRTtbe truth, but couJcl nut b at said what he tbougbt,!; as wf-ll as what was s*id. I went there to pay a small hill, and to lind out where hr his information, Out. like mv friend Wi s m, he could not tell. Now, I submit tfie que tion to the public, who am I to believe? .James Tiilman, who tells me all about it, and at last "lets the cat out of the bair," or those who conceal this "stab iu the back" and ''in the nark," until I forced it out by exposing and denouncing SeDator lrbv for the scoundrel I knew hi.n I to be? Even if we acknowledge that there was a possibility for James Tillmau to have been in it, there is no possibility for Irby fo have been out of it They were all privy to it. and no one tolc me except James Tillmac. Ilence my letter, and it is my private opinion, publicly expressed, that Irby got off 'mighty light," a3 the darkey said when John Brown was hung. Let it be remembered that all of the. parties were otlice-seekers, including Mr. Tillman, who was applying tor "a consulship, and all seeking. Senatoc lrbv's patronage. Let it not be forgotten that contemporaneous telegrams were sent to The Register covering the sa lie matter, ail of which is in perfect consonance with Irby's well-known method of pufling himself. Th^-n pur James Tillman's statement in the balance with the actual contents of the "Craddock" article, ana the conclusion is inevitable, not only was it born in that den of imquity'from which few men h<ive escaped with ele-'n hands, but that Irby was at the bottom of it. >,ow. Senator John, since you have undertaken to interpret my notion in exposing you, iet me interpret yours. Remember, John, tlat but i'or the "Craddock" article, which v.m have acknowledged was written and sent olf under your eye, I could not have exposed you, and that you provoked it In allnrlincr t.n the {"inncrrpssional have you not exposed your wily and arttulgame? You ''discovered a mare's nest," and hating Farley and Shell you put it in the papers to ex.-ite suspicion among the LM'ormers, and sent sampson i'ope to th*3 Governor to excite his dis'rusf, in order to kill tiiern oil'. Is not that plain, Johnnie? 2sro?v, Senator John, let me give you some good advice before you get out of the papers, tori see, John, that you are exceedingly anxious to get out of the papers. It's a b:vt DliC^ for you, as there is no telliutr what may come out, and these little love le'ters of mine are not such pleasant reading as The Register's pretty personals, ''CraddockV' dictated and puuctuated praises or Liny Gant.t's powerful puli'j. I told you a long time ago?kindly, John? that you couldn't sustain yourself in tne United States Senate, and alviseJ you not to try it. Now you see the result. I told you also, when you asked cay advice, to resign tie Chairmanship :>r the Executive Committee and ke-p Dut of Siate squabbles, because you iidd a bigger job tbau youcouKi property attend to at Washington.

Gentlemen, that was no- fair, nor 'iuht, for this was a personal matter, uid no reform a Alliance matter ivere involved. 1 was reared inLvirense county, and am well known tnere, iiid no resolution by all ihe Alliance or ;he State can give me a bad character jr John Irby a good one. I made you a good soldier in war times, aQd, tnough i boy, f'ougnt mv way up from the ranks. I ?.tood by you, and was sent here to jaii for you in Radical and Klui i Klux times. I fon^ht for you aDd wrote for you in 187G. Lone before you wer** aroused to a knowledge and appreciation of your own wrings, and long before Ben Tillman's voicj was heard in the land, I had he^n working and writing for "free silver and finantriil reJief," and neirly everv pli-ik in the reform platform. Many of you know it, and besides I will prove it, hy the record. I belong to the reform movement and not to any individual, and 1 am in svmpath with ail the essential demandsy of the Alliance, and shall aivo cate, work aDd vote for the principles that they bow represent, as long as they keep within the Democratic party. My position is the result ot' my record, which is well known and consistent and is not due to political-rrimminar or "coat tail swinger." Since arriving at maahood, I have done the b^st I could for the State, for you. aDd the Reform Movement. I hav? always expressed myself fearlessly aad independently, and shall continue to do so, regardless of everything except my sense of right and my duty to the State. The fear of losing or the hope of getting oiliee shall not control me, for 00 matter what otnsr people may think aud do, I had rather be "an honest statesman or citizen out of a job" than a political trickster and shuncer, or a rtfcon ^'illian in fha TTnitAfl Senate.

Mr. Tal i bert to run without opposition for Con! cress, I to succeed Shell for Congress and James H. Tillman to be made Adjutant General of t ie State of South Carolina Now while there may be some political differences between us as Demo^arts, and although we are on somewhat different political lines, yet 1 feel sure that I will be afe in asking you to make a >imp!e statement of facts in order that justice may be done in this matter. Therefore I write to nsk you to state clearly and unreservedly whether there has ever b3en at Washington or elsewhere any attempt, conversation or intimation, either implied or expres ed, looking to any such combination with any or all of the pa-ties memioned. Hop n? that I have not annoyed youunneeessiiry. or presumed too much in tnis aatter, I am. very truly, TT T 77* n. Ju, rAKLbJ. In reoly I bej to say, without hesitation or reserve, there is not a word of truth in the charge that a combination had been agreed upon, &c. I will go t'urth r, and say the subject of a "combination" or any other has never been mentioned to me by you or any of the parties mentioned. It is made of whole, cloth. Very trulv your>*?

His disappointment at not being able to control certain pitron.ig* in hi3 State prompted him to divulge what would hive otherwise remained a secret until the prop-r time had arrived for the scheme to have been c-trried out. It is a fact that Cleveland will opposfe Crisp, and it is ais) a fact tint the New York Congressman wil vote for an anti-silver candid ;te. Richard Croker is said to have arranged the combination in order to have saved Tammany II->11. The 11 rat step was taken a few days ago when Congressman UeckweL, Senator Hill's personal representative, visited tne White House. As a result of this in lerview. Senator Hill called on Mr. C eveiand yesterday and spent Deariy half an boar in earnest consultation with the President. When he left, as well as when he entered, Mr. IIill never looked happier or in better spirits in his life. Newspapermen have vainly endeavored to ascertain from him what passed between th^ President and himself, but all their efforts have been futi'e. But here is the whole sabstance of the conversation, if a Congressman's word is worth ari^tiing: Murphy and IIill are to control the Federal patronage of New York City and of the State, and in return for this recognition from Mr. Cleveland the Tamil any Congressmen are to support Mr. Gotland's candidate io- speaker, either Wilson or McMillan, a?au;st Crisp. "While such a course would hardly beueiit Senator IIill, it appears that he had no alternative, and, in order to still be master of Tammany, r-e was forced to enter the combination upon the terras stated.

Bishop Capers is known and loved not only in Columbia but throughout ^outh Carolina without re fereace to church distinctions and eve-ybody is therefore interested in his elevation to the bishopric. Long before rhe hour for the services to b giu ye-terdav m inline people beg-in to pour into Trinity Church, and by 11:30 o'clock the large auditorium and galleries were packed with people of all denominations, and many were compelled to stand. The Bishops and the clergy robed t hemselves ii t^ e Sunday schooi chapel. Expectancy whs at its height, and at 11:30 o'clock the organ pealed in sweet and s-jl-mn tones in a voluutary by Professor Plate. As the not< s of the voluntary died away the Bishops and clergy marched into the church bv twos sinsine, "The Church is One Foundation," and took their places. The" morning prayer was read by Rev. John Iv-rshaw of Sumte* and the lessons of ihe day were rend bv llev. Byron Holly of Greenville. Rev. John Johnson of Charles'on read the creed and prayers. Bishop Watson conducted the ante-communion services. Bishop Jackson read the Epistle and Bishop l*reed read the Gospel. Bishop JacKson then preached the consecration sermon, which was over an hour in length. Bishop Jackson is a most impressive speaker and his ser mon was listened to with tbe closest attention by the entire audience throughout. It was a strong historical argument of the foundation of the church and iu support of the doctrine of postolic succession. Many people, not Episcopalians, said it was one of the ablest sermons they have ever heard. Xext came a hymn and the Litary was read i>y B:shop Weed. The consecration examination of Bishop Capers was conducted by liishop Lyman, after which Bishop i'apers retired and donned his Episcopal ro??-s, during which "Veni Creator Spiritus" was sung Next came the impressive acC solemn service of consecration and tne laying on of nands.

They thought it was a cow, but after events made it almost certain that the nois-: tae/heird was made by the fiend in escaping. When the fox hunters entered the house they found Mrs. Sadler just recovering consciousness, cf which she had been bereft by two heavy blows on her head inflicted by the hegro who had also choked her. While she was insensible the scoundrel, who had entered the room in a nuite condition accomplished his foul purpose.
