wfr-??? The Press and Banner, , ?? i ABBEVILLE, S. C. ft ^ Wednesday, April 5, 1882. Prettier a Place Than Haddon's. BH|^Coiilil be found on this continent. ^H^^fovely and beautiful beyond decree, W+ the bachelor department of the Press r& und Banner is unequal to the tusk ol describing it. Flowers?, bonnets, ribW' bona, and all manner of beautiful ariiyf cles were scattered in the most graceful confusion while the most artistic' ladies titled to and fro ever ready to exhibit or sell whatever might please! the eye. There is something in these' openings which causes an in voluntary j sigh oecause we have 110 one tor! whom to buy. Wouldn't it be the' proudest moments of an editors life to! buv some of these bonnets and ribbons J for a star-eyod divinity, who would | look love to eyes which speak a^ain.I If our millinery stores do not wish toj make us miserable forever they will cease to add charms to these places' which are for beauty and elegance always beyond description. A Town Without a House. The iron on the Augusta and Knox-1 ville railroad was laid to within I a mile and a quarter of Asbury' hist Saturday night, and if the spikes do not give out, the cars will be run-' ;;.g to ihul point before Saturdays night. We learn that .Mr. Twiggs will apply for permission to lower the grade a little at this depot. As-; bury is a central location and although j there is at present no house within a| mile of the depot, houses will soon be > built. Considerable business will be j doceatthis place, and the road will' *hio a larne Quantity of cotton from ' this station. Serious Accident. A plank kiln in the neighborhood j of Little River fell last Saturday! Seriously, if not fatally injuring, Mr. j \V. V. Callahan, Al Mr. T. I,. Had-j don's saw mill. His leg, and thigh' was crushed and bent in a most fear- i ful manner while his body was bent I nearly double. Dr. John A. Robin-j son was promptly called and rendered the injured man every assistance fmssible. It is said by those who saw 1 lim, that Mr. Callahan shows very! little clmnce of recovery. < m j One Nomination. By reference to the communication i to be found elsewhere in the Pres.* and I Banner, it will be seen tlwt Senator! Maxwell's name has been put forward j for re-election. His conservative tone, j his ability and his fairness will coin-j1 mend him as an acceptable candidate, ' and his past record is the surest guar-;1 ttntee of future faithful service to his!1 people. Now, that the campaign may be 1 said to be commenced, we shall ex- I (>ect to see the names of many others t )rought forward. ? Let Those who are Fretty Now Look, i Lovelier tlian Ever, Vor Miss Lizzie Bridge, of New York.'! has couie to Abbeville for the purpose, of arranging the choice and elegant! goods which were recently brought I from tfic fashionable marts of theL country and opened at the store of:' Messrs.

Attention Democrats i There will be a meeting oi the'i, County Democratic Club at Abbeville ! Court House on salesday in May next. | The local clubs are requested to reorganize and eleet delegates to said meet-j {. ing. By orderof the President. i Eugene B. Gaky, I 4t Secretary. J c We are indebted to Mrs. Visauska ls< for a liberal qtiHUtily of pass-over',( bread. It has been her custom for so' '* long a time to send us this token of re-1 inembrance that we look for it as the si time approaches. We shall not at- I tsmpt to write a piece on the Jewish J si <?ustom of observing the passover. | ?'?"Those of 1WT iFi'elvds'w'ho'fuel ?Vi V-'MV1 -' ^ est iii the religious customs peculiar to -j God's chosen people should read the ^ book of Deuteronomy, which will beI found exceevlingly interesting, Wei hope that our readers may turn toL Deuteronomy, which is in the Bible,!.' and there learn something of which! many of them are ignorant at present.! Our farmers should begin to make jj calculations for the harvesting of the 1 immense small grain crop which is" now on the land. Those who content-j plate buying reapers should inform |l themselves oti the subject and pur-,' chase intelligently, as the improve- 1 ments in these machines of late years lias been so great that no man can af- s ford to use an old patent, even if it 1 were given to hint. With no un'o- ] ward event between this time and the; harvest, we will gather the largestj ] crop ever realized in any single year i J in Abbeville county. , Captain J. W. Perrin, the I County Treasurer, publishes an im-!, portant communication in an another ? column, which deserves the attention * of every citizen of Abbeville county. A mau may fail to get j,js name on many books, but Captain Perrin is Democratic in his bussiness, and 1 treats every citizen alike by entering 1 Iheir names on his book, with ceruin ominous figures opposite. Call at his: J office, where you Will be sure to find!' your horae. Political club rolls may j1 be incomplete, but not so with Cap-j taiu Perrin's books* ; If any of our editorial friends are!' disposed to buy a vehicle of any kind,! let them be not deceived by any pro-1 positions to pay in advertising. The ] bill of the advertising is added to the 1 j price of the buggy, and the editor ji throws away his work in this instance. Many new buggies have been sold on j, our streets at figures much below the ( cash required from editors when they; do a large amount of advertising besides. Virgil Madden, colored, formerly of tnis place, was convicted of highway robbery in Greenville last week. It ?*eems that while drivinga buggy hei slipped a pocket-book from the pocket of his fellow passenger, containing thirty-seven dollars. The pocket book j was soon missed, when Madden was accused of the theft. The pocket-book was returned minus ten dollars. He goes to the penitentiary for five years. Captain L. W. White has just returned from the North with the preatest quantities of the nicest goods to be found in New York. His goods are really of the best and most attractive quality, and his prices are always reasonable. He is ever reliable, and his goods may be depended ou as being worth all that he asks for them. The work on the new street below the depot running out in rear of Fort Pickens to the branch still progresses. The big gully which crossed the road at the branch, one mile from town, has been filled up, and a good wagon way has been made over it. It wiil not be a great while before that street will be open to the public travel. Messrs. Cunningham & Templeton, substantial and thoroughly re-< liable merchants, invite the public to! inspect their large and varied stock of "......munlol furl..

From what we see in the newspapers we are inclined to the opinion that the Democrats of Columbia have acted unwisely in making war on Mr. John Agnew. Unless charges can be fairly and fully sustained, it is, in our opinion, better not to make them. The force of this remark may be real-1 ized after the election. The next union meeting of the Ab\ beville Baptist Association will convene .with Beulah church on Saturday at 10 o'clock before the tilth Sunday in April. Intioductor* sermon on Saturday at 11 o'clock by Kev. J. S. Jordan. Missionary sermon on Sab bath at 11 o'clock by Hew H. (J. Smart.

As this was the i second time that Colonel Wallingford i j had addressed these people in less than two months time, by invitation, and ,! imagining tiiat the people of Ninety-Six | were either deeply interested in UrcenII back ism, or that >1 r. Wallingford's ele' ganee of dietion and high graces of com| position, were very instructive and enter' I tain inn to them ; a reporter for the I'rc.ss Itaiiiicr wit1!] that inborn curiosity, i peculiar to newspaper men, boarded the ! train and left for Ninety-Six, determined j to tind out the true inwardness of the j whole af!ain | 1 i Arrived at Ninety-Six, the chances for having a very enthusiastic meeting were 1 not encouraging. Most of those present j were totally ignorant of the fact that the I speaker hud .arrived, and appeared to care I very little for the success or failure of the meeting. Until the speaking began We I improved our time by talking with sevjeral of the citizens to ascertain if there j was really any disaffection with the Democrats here, and to find if the Green I Kickers actually had any following. From | what we could gather, we are led to bei lievo that there are some people in the Ktii-miirulinir Xinotv-Six who I sympathize with the Green backers to this extent, that they prefer Greenbacks to specie as a medium of circulation 011 account of being more convenient to carry, I while others from the accounts that they I have hea.-d, are laboring under the hallucination that the success of the Greenj back party means the inflation of money, jand that the currency will be greatly in-j creased and that money will be as plentc- j 011s as blackberries. This and only this | is all we could learn as the following of| ! the party, a fragile foundation to build up| ja new party with. Ninety-Six can bo j put down as solid for Democratic Gov1 eminent, Home Utile and White Supreni-1 1 acy. Mr. Wallingford addressed the crowd, | I which from actual count numbered twenty-three white men, live boys, and four 1 negroes from tho depot platform, lie j commenced by saying that he knew that | ]a great many suspected him of being! here in the fnteresls of the Republican ; party, but time would show that this was ' not so, he was here neither to represent [the Republican or Democratic party, but I solely as the champion of the National I. | Greenback party, which was separate and distinct from the old organizations. A [ party which wanted to unite the best elements of both ef the old parties for the good of the entire country, Norfcli and South, which would light to the bitter end all corporations and monopolies. 1 (Jo porations if allowed the privileges! heretofore extended them, would eventually bring us all to poverty and slavery. There was plenty of room for a third | party, and all reformations came by the] laitv walking over the heads of leaders,' and it was but natural that they should I meet with opposition and posccution.! Ho had no desire to break up our State! Government, and had nothing to say as to local issues, these are matters that we must settle and determine for ourselves, but the National, Democratic and Republican tickets were tho cause of his complaint and censure, and these had become j sorely contaminated aim corrupt. * 10 < i disclaimed any intention of being an of- j tice seeker and preferred the quiet pur-j suit of his business to any ollice that the! people could give him. lie then went into a Ion# discussion on i the Finance question, denouncing the'f specie basis as a lie, fraud and cheat, that I the Government should issue the money, j and not delegate it to private corporations who would bring us to ruin and bankruptcy. He denied that he was in favor of repudiation, but in favor of paying the , National debt according to the original J contract. That money was not valuable j? on account of its intrinsic value, but bo-1 cause of the stamp of the Government j on it. Give us a just monetary system and this country will blossom like the rose, and the prosperity in store for us will be greater than it ever entered the mind of man to conceive. Ho closed by paying a tribute to General Weaver, whose persecutions he said t were equal to those endured by I'aul in { ! his endeavor to spread the Christian reli-' . gion. Let us no longer be the slaves of: | infamous mouicd men, but rally to the support of the Greenback party, which party alone can bring permanent peace to this distracted country, a party tliat will , last as long as men love liberty ami hate oppression, a \* HUM' |?i niuifm** \yi:i u ; i V.'.L money issued by the Government! wiping'out the National iTi-bt. abolishing",* ??f National banks, in crease of currency, purilication of elections, opposition to all J i forms of oppression, and eternal protest! against all that degrades manhood and I defrauds liberty. He says he is as much in favor of continuing honest and capable white men in 11 oHiue hero, as the most rabid Democrat, J and stated in his speech that had he been j here in'70 lie would have helped us to his utmost to overthrow the infamous crew who then had control of the .State1 i Government. Mr. Wallingford will II speak at Troy on next Saturday. POINTS AND DOTS. Facts About Coronnca, and the People There About. | [ EilHors Press a nil Banner : Occasionally I see a piece in your pa- , per, about Coranaea. Hy the way, do|| you know the origin of the name? Some! I claim that it is called after an Indian Chief, who once resided upon the banks of Coronaea creek. I like the name and I hope some bard will make Coronaea the hero of a legendary tale. When the post- | I office was established here it was desired J to call it Sim's Cross-Road as that was the name by which the place had always been known, but the postal authorities refused to accept either t!iator Sim'svillo, on account of the commonness of the ! terminati >ns, cross-road and Ville. The government furnishes us with mail twice a week. Through the energetic efforts of Col.

Whatj ever the writers on Aesthetics may hold on the subject there is no doubt of the j fact tliutj in this particular instance, utility enhances the beauty of the scene very much. Several of our farmers are selfmade men who tarted from the ground and have gradually worked their way up. Their examples show what thrift I and enterprise can accomplish. Quite a [number of improvements have been | made this winter and others are in contemplation. This, to a large extent, is the result of the establishment in the community of a saw-mill, of Messrs.

THE SENATOE'S OPINIO* OF THE ATTOtt>EY*GEXEEAL. Home Truths Well Pat?the Stalwart Conspiracy to Africanize tho State? A Gnmo tint two Can play at? Ready to Aid tho Accused. [iWH'ft and Oonrlnr.] t Wasitisoto:?, March 27.?The recently published letter of Attorney General Brewster has createdjmueh indignation in Democratic circles. Our representatives in Congress were all of opinion that it was intended for political efleet, and I was going to preach a text on it when I happened to catch Senator Butler in the Democratic cloak-room of the Senate, a nice, shady, cosy place, where more interviews are had than anywhere else in erea Hon; and there and then solicited opinion's ami obtained them, and as a result! abandoned my projected letter to put in its stead the following interview, which expresses, I think; tlfi; views of the whole delegation : Said I : "Have you seen Mr. Brewster's letter to Mr. Saunders on the South Carolina election prosecutions ?" "Yes, I saw it soon ailsr my arrival from South Carolina." "What docs it mean ?" "Why it simply means that the Stalwarts, having discovered that the South Carolina Democracy doesn't'Mahonei/.e,' as was confidently predicted, and break up in to disgraceful factions, and cajolery having failed to bring about the desired result, they will resort to terrorism bv| nnlifii*nl nmuiwnf innc in Hip Irnirni1 Shitnx Courts. This is what it means." "H'ernyou notsuprised at tho remark-' able attitude of the Attorney-General ?"' j "Nothing surprises mo novr-a-days. j The Attorney-General is carrying out tho! behests of his political masters and ought not to surprise anybody. An ernptioii of official virtue appears to have broken out all over the new attorney-general, lie is almost as badly afflicted with the South Carolina election eases as ho was at first in the 'Star Route frauds." Public sentiment is demanding with unconfrontahle unanimity that the'Star Routes frauds' shall bo vigorously prosecuted, and Mr. Brewster no doubt finds the prosecution of his Stalwart allies not very agreeable or palatable work, so ho seeks to make .1 diversion by venting his official wrath 011 a few South Carolina Democrats. There was a very ominous lull in tho 'Star Route' prosecutions that was bosoming embarrassing, alter the great sound of trumpets that emanated from Lhe attornep-general's office of vigorous : nroxcaitionx, and I presume it was found necessary to create a diversion by a few blasts against the South Carolina Democracy." "isn't it a very eccentric thing for an attorney-general to bo rushing into tho ; newspapers in this manner in relation to liis discharge of the delicate and responjible duties ot a liiph office ?" "It seems so to ne, and I cannot think that any man who has proper regard fori1 Lhe dignity of such u high position, .holding ail office essentially non-partisan in 1 its nature, would be publishing letters to 1 i subordinate, reminding him of such 1 :hings as that 'You aro a Democrat,' and 1 I wish to express my Republican convictions upon the subject,' Ac., ?t. Such ' :alk from a high public official, sworn to io his duty according to the Constitution | md the laws, is disgusting?to use the mrsher terra, If those prosecutions?or either persecutions?am not political, why lut* Democracy or Republicanism 1 nto instructions to a subordinate ? I do lot know this Mr. Sanders, but, if he ] jennits his Democracy to be purchased ;o carry out the plans of his political ad- 1 /ersaries, I haven't as much respect for 1 iuch a Democrat as for n pronounced Republican who marches courageously' mder his true colors. It is incumbent jpon District Attorney Melton and his issistant to do their full duty impartially 1 md fearlessly becauso they are sworn oficials of Government, but who is this Pennsylvania lawyer sent down here, ibout South Carolina matters, when the political atmosphere of his own State Is 'inningand putrid with election frauds? Why does not the Attorney-general write .o District Attornoy Melton ?" "Have you any theory, Senator, as to ;he reason of Mr. Sauuder's employment |; n these particular cases ?" \ "Oh ! I supposo that WAs A dodgo of i Judge Melton's to have it said that he < and convicted democrats with Democratic lu.vyers. There is no other reason for it. liut he hasn't convicted anybody yet, and 1 10 will not, if a proper defence is made, l is I have no doubt it will be." "Are you going to appear for the defence ?" "Nobody has eex pressed a wish that I diould do" so. I will, if it should be . accessary, to the last extremity of time md means, for I do not believe that the dlcged desire to vindicate the law, if any lias been violated, is sincere. Violated law is the last thing thought of. Success ! >f the Republican party and the Alricanzing of South Carolina again are the bot:om of these prosecutions, and if I were :he Executive Committee of the Demo- ; jratic party of South Carolina I should jive me uuorney-generai una ms suoor- 1 limites employment in prosecuting some if their own party friends in South-Caro- ; ina for the unblushing crimes cominitt;d by them against the election laws, and j jive Mr. JSrcwster an opportunity of j: pointing a moral,' in his next batch of s instructions through the newspapers, igainst his own party friends." "Doyou know if counsel lias been em- | >loved to defend the accused ?'' i "Yes, I am informed very able counsel I ias been employed, and that they are to . >e defended I>y the best legal ability in I he State, and I have no doubt that it is i rue. I hope so at least." < "You think then that these proceedngs are intended for political purposes?' "Of course they are, and fnr nothing ;lso. If I did not know that you beiteved it also I should be shocked at the 3 u est i an. It is the beginningol the Republican caiV.^'^i und it is Well to remember it." ^ Which I will. ""?-"N. G. G.-, Senator Htiller Coming to Charleston. Washington* March 29.?Senator Butler has received a request to attend the trial of tlio election cases in Charleston next week, and will do so, reaching the city next Monday. Representative Tillman would also go, but that his contest imperatively requires his presence here it that time. ANOTHER HOVE BY BREWSTER. rrymg to Break Down the State Courts for Political Effects* Columbia, March 28.?Mr. Joseph W. Muller, deputy clerk of the court for Kiciiiami county, was served tins morning with a summons to attend the United States Court in Charleston on next Monjav to testily in the election cases against Joseph 15alos and other defendants from this county. He is required by the subpoena to take with him the oaths of office if the Commissioners of elections, the jaths of tho managers of elections, ?t Acton, Hopkins, Garner's and Camp Sround precincts, "together with all and 2very original return and statement in relation to the election of 1S80 in said four precincts on tile in the ofllcoof the Court >f Richland County." After consultation with his attorneys, Mr. Muller was advised to leave the matter to the solicitor mid Judge, with the request that the Judge ask for the legal opinion of the attorney-general as to whether under the circumstances, he can be compelled to mswer the summons. Mr. Arthur, the :-lerk of the Court, is absent from the State for thirty days by permission of the Governor, and is* now under medical treatment in New York by advice sof' his physician. If Mr. Muller hould be required to attend the United States Court the business of the State Court now in session in this city will be seriously retarded and the administration of the laws interfered with. But this may be only another part Mr. Benjamin Harris Brewster's plan to degrade the law in South Carolina for political effect. A GREAT FIRE IN RICHMOND. Nothing' Like it siuce the Confederate Evacuation. Richmond, Ya., March 20?One of the most destructive conflagrations which ever visited this city, second only to that which destroyed the buiness portion on its evacuation by tho Confederate army in April, lbt>5, occurred here to-day, resulting it great destruction of property, the loss of one life and several minor casualties. A number of poor peoplu are deprived of their homes and household goods, and the travelling public is vastly inconvenienced by the loss of the main bridge directly connecting the Northern and Southern systems of railways, cross-' ing tile James River at this point.

Hampton and Sherman, A COVERT ATTACK ON HAMPTON'^ CHARACTER EXPOSED. , Rollin II. Kirk the Tool of the Re* vengefnl and Dastard ex?Secrclary ; ?Hampton's Magnanimity. [Xttfi unci Courier.] ' , Washington, March 27.?That Joha Sherman is a political trickster and u speculator of public moneys low people^ doubt after the development of the last Presidential campaign and the outturn of . the treasury investigation; but here is?' proof that he carries hisr scoundrclism into private as well ?s public life: Everybody khows that since Senato? . Hampton convicted William Tecumseli Sherman of lying, in regard to the burning of Columbia, the .Slierman family have been very bitter against him. li * will also bo remembered that during thd i:isu rrcsiuemiai campaign J onn Sherman; ' the secretary of the treasury, laid bare hid ) vulgar spite by replying to a courteous letter of inquiry from Senator Hampton ' with an open letter, most offensive in its terms, nnii very insulting to the people of r South Carolina. Soon after this the noto- v rious South Carolina Radical and renegade* white rTVan, Rollin A. Kirk, then employed in the treasury here, publisheh ' a scurrilous libellous attack upon Sena- * tor Hampton, charging him -with having ' aided in murdering a score of negroes in Mississippi, and with such other offences as a villauous imagination could conjuro up. This letter was circulated t>y the Republicans during the late Presidential " campaign throughout the West. Upon ' Sherman's exit fcotn the treasury Kirk ' lost his place there. A month or two ago he was reinstated, and almost simultaneously his wretched campaign lies were ./ republished .by a scavenger sheet in Charleston; Upon this several of Senator Hamp- ' I.. ! 1 ? - * trt/ii o UICIIU9 uuvciuiiweu vo iuok into ujq matter. Ilero was an employee of the . Government occupied in circulating the; most abominable falsehoods against a Sen- ' ator. The attacks were personal, not political, and as such could justly be objected to. Secretary Folger was seen and thfl facts laid before him. He promptly ad-^i mitted that Kirk's course was a sufficient cause for hisdischarge; Itesent lor Kirk and interrogated lllm. Kirk admitted * having written tin lotter, but begged the with tears in his eyes not to discharge him as ho had a wife and six children t<> . support. The attack he declared was ordered by a superior official. Mr. Folger communicated theso facts to Sonator Hampton and ottered to dischargo Kirk from ofljce,lf ho desired it. Senator , Hampton replied that he would spare him, but that he wished to know who had Incited the publication. Kirk, npoii hearing this, stated that the official was Secretary Sherman, and produced a letter from the Secretary to prove the fact. This letter was read by Senator Hampton . and others and was returned to its ovrtlei1? . It seems that Kirk first wrote to the . secretary, who replied in substance as follows: "la my position I cannot notice these tiring?, but I wish that you, or some i>ne else would make a formal statement r)f the kind against Hampton." Kirk said that coming from the highest treasury officer he regarded the letter as an orilcr, and he also asserted that Sherman promised, if he was discharged from the treasury, to get him a platfe at the Capital. These facts have been leaking out grad-.. ually, and they sire now known to several Senators, who declare if tho most dastardly act they ever heard of.

J [-ycu'j and Courier.1 Washington,* Murch 30.?Tho Sher-v inan-KiiK business was an increasing topic of interest to-day. This erdrtirig's Critic published a senfirttiohal Statement. of tho case, which has inllamed tho other [tapers into a fever lor more news. The Critic declares that Senator Hampton will bring the matter before tho Senate, but this is incorrect. Ho was opposed to making tho ease notorious, having satis-* tied himself of Sherman's rascally conduct. Statements are published also that Lhe News and Courier iirst printed Kirk's attack on Hampton, but of course this is untrue. The lot al scavenger did that; It has been developed that yesterday morning whiietfenator Hampton was being shaved in the Senate barber shop Sherman came in for some purpose oi other, and advancing to Hampton said very all'ably: ,-It must be very pleasant weather down vonr way, General." Senator Hampton lifted his face covered with latther, gave the Ohioan a brief stare of contempt, pnd then subsided and told the barber to go on. Sherman was consider* able confused, and in a few moments lefu This incident causes as much sensation as cite original matter. Hampton has now snubbed both of tho Shermans.

'v [Xeu-s and CouiHcr.] WASHiNGTOSrllflr011 31.?Nearly all of th? metropolitan papers hltvU^? published to-<lay many facts concerning the Hampton-Sber* man affair with additions more or less ?en?tlonal, there was a renewed hubbub about the niatterln Washington. TVi? /'o-rtprinted a full statement based upon what&ft* appeared in the yews and Courier, but with V,JP.O?? minor Inaccuracies. Concerning this Klrlt writes to an evcnlnir Diitisr ?? fnlWn ? "On October 26, 18si), at the supgeslioh of the Hon. John Shermnn, then tho secretary of the treasury, I published a letter In the - >_ Cincinnati Commercial recounting thu financial antecedent of Mr. Wade Hamptor.. My article was based upon data found In the Xationul Republican of August and October, 1870. The statement, In a morning paper, that I assailed Senator Hamptoh through thd Charleston Mercury is false. It Is equally faltffcthatl permitted Mr. Hampton to read a letter I had in my possession from the Hon. John Sherman. I never spoke to Mr, Hampton In my life. The statement that the sec* retaryofthe treasury threatened to dismiss me unless I would consent to furnish Mr,' Hampton a copyorMr. Sherman s letter equally unfounded.' I detly positively that Mr. Sherman ever told me, oreVeh hinted to me, that In ihe event of my discbarge fronp i he treasury he would provide for me else*where. Indeed the entire publication In the morning paper referred to is replete with fabrication, and would be amusing under circumstances not Involving the amity of a brace of United States Senators. I wish here>* to state that I desired to do Mr; Hah.})ton no injustice in my publication. I simply republished nlJevatlon* which bad gone on* challenged for four years." y Sherman, who had before refused to say anything, made the following remarks : "No I have no statement to make about It, nothing to say with regard to it. I have simply to express for it the contempt I feel for the whole matter. If anybody wants copies or those letters he cuu get them without anydilDculty. I don't believe that Senator Hampton Is responsible for|the publication In the Post. If he W. he has put himself In very rldicnlous attitude." It will be seen that Kirk admits that Sher* man Incited his rascally attack on a rnanb? ; could not fight In open field, and that Sherman tacitly aumlts; that he did as Kirk declares. There Is good reason lor tills. Denial fortunately, would not avail, for I have learned that the criminating letter was read by Se? retary Foluer, and is probably now In bis po* session.

Some fresh gleanings of mine are these: Senator Hampton has not spoken or recognized Shermon since the Presidential cam' paten. Sherman sent him a mcssaua ?orii& time ano setklng nn explanation or this course. Hampton replied by the messenger that on acenuut ot his slanderous conduct he wntild reiuse to recognize him then and In future. Sherman made no reply, and did noi attempt honhommle until! he made th<i. ; 1 , seductive remark about south Carolina weather, which wan so ci uelly tnet. It is widely published thai Hampton still demands the letter and will bring up the t matter in the Senate. This is no: so. He sail-(!*d liimselfof Sheromn s*llllany, which wa-- ail he eared for. Snerman admits it,- . which is due to the knowledge of Folger'p. ?> information. This is <nough. There is no ground for nny statement from the South rarolinlfin to the Senate, and none will be made. Sherman is the only one who might explain, but as he stands self-confessed a low and cowardly slanderer, lie neeit not attempt It. Km I her'publication by me would, theie!ore, hesupei tluou.<. If denial Is made, proof is handy. The effect on the public is strong. shcMiiaii's reputation was much worn. This is .ill that was needed to wreck it. J.
