IVIiaf Tlie.* Say of I !?? Political Con<lili<Mi of III*' Stale. The State. s<*na!or Tillman and (Jov. Kv.nns yesterday afternoon returned I'rom Memphis, where Ibey have be-ti intending tliesilver cnnvenlion, liolli were in a very communicative humor. Last, tiMit Senator Tillman made public the following interview which will lie read with the keenest interest by all who have becu walchlug the course of political events In the State, and the progress of the TillmanHemphill - Hurnwell - Kvans compromise scheme : tillman's decijakation "What etl'ect will the reversal of Judge Bolt's decree have on Stale politics?'' "It Minpiltles matters very muck," said Tillman in reply, "and relieves us to what whs Jaily becoming a more threatening situat Ion. i'o illustrate: Those Conservatives who seemed to have the greatest following, instead of pleading.heretofore, lor an e<tuaI division ;>f I he delegates, were using a hectoring aud *nd threuieiiing tone, while nearly all of the Conservative papers were urging their lacLions not to go into the Democratic primary . ienerals Hampton and Huller had advised the same tiling, and while the News and ('our iei-flirt noi. counsel this course, the recent dertiotiKiraiioii in Charleston ever General Hampton left little doubt, as to whose leadership they would follow unless the Reformers surrendered the control of the convention to them All this is now changed, and lu any ivent, tio amount of"persuasion lroiu any onrce can now induce the Kelorniers to trust he Conservatives with one-half thedelegates. Von will remember that in the Interview published .just alter our conlercnce with Mr. lain well and others, 1 said that It would defend upon the attitude of the Conservative capers anil : general agreement on both sides ;o ceu?e their bitterness, whether the scheme ou id he Kuccesslu lly carried out. When J udge iofl was imported here, with his scandalous lecree already written, had thu Conservative iditorsand leaders acted as patriotic Carol Inans, denounced hio uuwarranted iuterfer-. nice, and odi-red to join hands vvith the Kedrillers in maintaining white supremacy, it A'ould have at once obliterated ail factional ines and good feeling and confidence would lave been restored, flie Reformers cannot low lorget, nor will they soom torsive those vno so plainly siiowed their purpose to over? ,hrow the white majority by negro votes ; cast of all can they trust them, nor can J advise our people lo trust, them. "I went into I tie agreemeut, with Messrs. Jarnweil and the other gentlemen in periect ;ood faith :snd had that agreement been gen rally accepted by the Conservatives and eniorsed by tneir newspapers, it, would Inevlably have* been carried out by almost every iouuly. A uolden opportunity was lost and he Conservatives have "again"?to use the vords of the Newberry Herald and News? 'done the wrong thing at the right time" for ,te good oi the Reformers. "Mo 1 understand that you now repudiate he agreement V' was asked. "By no means, although by every rule of I ..,..,1.1 ?luir,i III lid uhsnlved from il.. [ would Mill like to see a nonpartisan convention composed of our be>t men from both lacIons, and I take tins opportunity lo urge our >eople, and by that I mean those wlio liave upported me, to be generous und not treasire up in Uielr hearts with too much bliterless the recent l:iunts and threals made by he "AutiH." We liave got to live here togeth>r; our Interests are Identical; the luiure irosperity of t lie state depends largely ou a tetter stale of leeling ; 1 can see no harm and nuch good thai will lolluw II the Reformers roluutarily select men of the best brains and iharacter among ihe Conservatives to come to he couveution. 1 would only give the cauiou that, no man be allowed to come whodurng the dark days of Gofl's tyrannical usurtatloii, showed Any gratification or made any hreats; such men cannot be trusted and had tetter be leli at home. "There is one oilier point that I feel should ic emphasized and that is this: There must >e some uiddeti or secret purpose iu the ali)OKI Insaue desire, which has shown Itself inong the "Antis" to control the Consiitu louul convention. Having voted almost soljly against it, I have never uncerstood why hey have been so anxious to have equal I epresentalion In ii, when by all ruies I fairness and all the principles of Demooray they would not be entitled to any repreentailon at all. except in the counties where | hey control. When the Barnwell conference met, there j ppeared to tie no prospect of an agreement I leing readied because ol imIs dema<id for ia.il, and it was ouly accepted by the Kelormrs present alter imposing conditions, which re latuiliar to the public. These conditions re still vital, and no Conservative should be oted for at the primary who does not discuss Iiese questions before the people and satlsly 1 hem as to bis attitude on them. "There is one other vital leature which our eople must uotoverlook. It is theconstltulouai pro\ isions for the control of corporaions aud the question of taxation. Cororation attorney*, ihose known lo he In the mploy of corporations, had better be teft at j ouie, whether Reformers or Conservative.--, I in less from their characters and general j ourse of meu it is believed they can be iru,std. I must believe that the strenuouB efforts to btaln half the delegates were inspired oy the estre to put into the new cou-ltlutioo sometilng thai would have either hampered the .eglslature or ti^d its hands in some way." "What about the action in Edgetleld?"' was sked. "I saw by the papers thut that action was redlted to my influence. I had nothing to o with It, and only happened to be al the ourt house that day on business." "D'i you think the plan ol ?iie Edgefield ominlttee will be carried out ?" 1 doubt it very much. Our people have always been strong advocates for the primary I nd this return lo the convention system f nominations is not likely to give satislaeIon. 1 think the county will send some Consrvatlves provided they satisfy the people on ! tie slump." J "Ii seems that while claiming to stand byhe agreement you are advising agulnst it eiug carried out?" was suggested. "1 am only standing by its spirit, not its leter. The Conservatives have stood by neither ts spirit nor letter. It would be suicidal uow :>r the Reformers to give one-half representalon to their opponents. We called the Contitiilloual convention, and we are responsl- ' le for it. We must control it, and I Am very j Jimi f-iiillicit, mnko a ( "oiikIit.ntlon i rliich will in any way do injury to the Ighls either ot person or property of the ither fide, which will not equally hear on mrselves. The Huff incident has raised 1 lie j -ell and shown too much of hatred and a fell j >urpose 10 rule or ruin, for trie to ask the teforuiers to do more than 1 have indicated, tnd if 1 were to ask 11, and slumped the State sounty by county, the people would go their j >wn way." WHAT tiOVRNOR KVANS SAV.S. When Gov. Kvans was asked about the Meinphlscouveutlon, be said: "The convention at Memphis was one of the largest ever held In the South and most iuthusiastle. it was not composed of millionaires nor politicians, but of men whose faces showed that they earned their bread by Lhe sweat of their brow. The enthusiasm with which the speeches were received and specially that 01 Senator Tillman showed I hat lhe people of the West mid South are bound to come together. Their interests are identical and they now realize the utter hopelessness of obtaining aiiv relief from Congress, so long as it is controlled by the Kast itnd the money power. Populists, Kepublicansand Democrats all joined In perlect haimony in the demand so loicibly put in the resolutions adopted by the convention." "How will they come together?" thim ic u m:il!(iia ol nicif ru'liiil TIipv urA nlready together, but in my opinion the Democratic party will declare for the free and unlimited coinage of silver in the ratio of 10 to 1 by an overwhelming majority, and the Northern and Eastern Democrats are as sure to secede ami bolt the coilvcnllou us IT it were already done. The Populists, in my gstnloo, ought not 10 make any nomination ^Igtresideul, and the silver itepubllcuiiN will ppc:facile Democratic nominee. These Iteii>lleansfa^-nllkeour people in South Caroia; prop?re<i^toKO anywhere to obtain re f from tiie bi.Wrdens thai oppress our farm. k. They are ol-%|i?ed to oome to ub for the ason that the ^Uupublican parly will not dare for free silverV.onj they know it." What about the revelt.^j of Judge Gofl's cree ?" , , Well, I received the news linin? ,Ua.teiy upi my arrival at the hotel in >-Memphis rough telegrams I have never seen T^)ur ces of woru out travelers.-who had nothing eat or drink for twelve hours, briehten up .j i did those of the lour ueiegaies iroin noum irollna upon reading ttie news. It was very , atlfylug ol course to know thai the State id triumphed, and J congratulate the peo- , e of South Carolina, and our friends ot the atlon of this victory for State's rights, and ' jarantee oi white supremacy in the South. 1 was congratulated by every prominent lember of the convention, among them Uetiblieans. The people ol the South and West >eni to take as lively an interest In this fight ir principle as our own people in South Carona in this fight. "As to the result, there need be no fear of an ; ppealto the negro. The Reformer* have a lajority sulBcleut to overcome the Couserauves and negroes combined, should thei sue come to this, LSut as I have always I lalntalued, no considerable following, rhether Conservative or Hetormer, could verbe led in this direction." "Uovenor, what aftllude will you assume as a the com position of the convention?" "In this hour of triumph I would not have ou think that. I have receded or Intend to ecede lrom anything I have said or done loreiofore looking to a harmonious settle-! ueiu of our differences and securiufe for the state a Constitution h?sed on the principles j il our conlHrenco. T'ie Democratic parti' Ik he only arbiter and any action from any ource to forestall the nominees of the people vould be presumptuous and result ill fail-1 ire." I desire to correct the false statements and j Misrepresentations contained In an editorial I n the News and Courier ot today, which has) ieen called to my attention. While many of' I the Conservatives were In sympathy with the I State administration in Its efforts to reverse the decision, .vet the Jubilant tone and threats to use the negro and ttielr advice to stay out | of the DemocratIc primary, by most of the i Conservative press of the .suite, and the interviews of their leaders, leaves no doubt of j the lact that the whole scheme originated in I their ranks. Had It not been so. the Instlgaj tors of it would never have been tolerated In South Carolina As to the management of j the case, too much credit cannot he given to the State's Attorney General and his assistants. Willie the aid of the Conservative ! lawyers was appreciated, the successful terI mlnation honestly belongs to the Attorney General."

All were pleased at tbe degree of proficiency reached by the scholars, and the school bas never bad so warm a place in the nearts of Its iriends as it has at the present time. There were also on exhibition numerous articles from the sewing department which at tmcted great, attention, and showed conclusively that the hand, as well as the head, hud received attention In this institution. There were also on exhibition evidences that a very tine grade of laundry word is done by the students in this school. On Monday night at 8:30 p. m. a concert was given in Rosenberg's hall by the primary department which was very largely attended by an appreciative audieDce.

Tuesday morning at 11:01) o'clock there were formal closing exercises of tb? Christian Endeavor Society, conducted by Miss Hattle KlIisoii. An uddress was delivered by Miss Lottie Roman, which was both interesting and instructive.

The origin of the word "siucerity" is j profoundly interesting and suggestive, j When Rome flourished, when her i 'ame was spread the world over, when I ;he Tiber was lined with noble palaces j jnilt of choicest marbles, men vied with each other in the construction of their habitations. Skillful sculptors were in requcm, uuu IIU intrust; HULUB ui money were paid for elaborate workmanship. The workmen, however, were then guilty of practicing deceitful tricks. If, for example, they accirtently chipped the edges of the marble, or if they discovered some conspicuous flaw, they would fill up the chink and supply the deficiency by means of prepared wax. For some' time the deception would notbedis-! covered, but when the weather tested I the buildings the heat or damp would ! disclose the wax. At length those who j had determined on the erection oil mansions introduced a binding clause j into their contracts to the effect that the whole work from first to last was to be sine eera?that is "without wax." Thus we obtain our word sincerity. To be sincere is to be without any attempt on our part to mislead, misrej*resent, deceive, or impose on another ; to be, and appear to be, what we are ; to say what we mean, and mean what we say.?The Presbyterian Review. Wanted.?In one hundred thousand households in America, a willing, sunshiny daughter, who will not fret when asked to wipe the dishes, or sigh when requested to take care of the baby; a daughter whose chief delight is to smooth away mother's wrinkles, and who is quite as willing to lighten her father's cares as his pockets; a girl who thinks her own brother as nice as some other girl's brother. Constant love, high esteem, and a most honored place in the home guaranteed. Is any miserliness so mean as that which holds loving words in the heart unspoken when dear lives are starving close beside us which our words should save and feed ?

There is an atmpt to enforce Christian standards j human strength without the aid of ie Holy Spirit; a tendency to yield an out ward nressure of humanita anism, to concede to infidelity much ' the Christian's supernatural ground, apologize for the strictness of rellgus standards, to discredit the inspi,tion of the Bible, and to abandon together the solemn verities of eteril retribution.

' ' | The GeulaH of Methodism. ..: BY THE REV. K. H. HOWARD. Mi Methodism was born in the heart of ohn Wesley when, May 24, 1738, he e went to a society meeting in Alersgate Street, London, ana, as he steoed to the reading by a bumble loravian brother of Luther's preface > the Romans, in which the great rejrmer simply unfolds the doctrine of istification by faith, suddenly felt liat his burden of sin was gone, and aat he was a new creature in Christ v eaus; felt cheered, elevated, excited, ransported with sweet affections toward God. From that day the charcteristics of Methodism proper have een these: 1. It is eminently experimental. It I nothing if be not heartfelt, fervent, nd spiritual. It involves present, ree, and full salvatiou. It inspires ue with that blessed assurance that nables him to cry, "I know whom I ave believed." 2. It is joyous. The typical Methoist is confessedly a happy man. The onsciousness of pqrdoued sin makes iim wondrously cheerful, enables him, ike the eunuch of old, to "go on his lis way rejoicing," snouting nis riumpbs as he goes. 3. It is earnest?zealous. Always iid everywhere Methodism is a hot eligion. Dr. Chalmers characterized L as Christianity in earnest. Denom ational without being bigoted, secarian or straightlaced, it affiliates corlially and promptly with genuine loy,lty to Christ wherever it finds it. jiberal, great-hearted, it looks love tolay, as at the beginning, even unto he ends of the earth. 4. Once more. It is popular, addresas itseif to the masses; it is for all ,nd to all. All who will may come >nd partake of the waters of life freely, n accordance with its blessed docrines of free will and universal atonenent and conscious deliverauce from J in, it feels that its mission is peculiar- I ..I nf fhp unfnrtu- M y lO lue gicat oiujj v* iate, the disappointed, the unlovely, V oveless, and forlorn in this world. Finally. It is practical. It believes n bringing things to pass, and the 'things" it aims most to bring to pass ire the salvation of sinners, tbe sanc.ification of believers, and the speedy edemption of the world to Christ. Not all of Methodism, according to >ur definition of it, is confined, by any neans, to our own fold, fcjome of the jest Methodists ever kuown to us were mown by rther names. An ardent lisciple of John Wenley, having canvassed a whole village to fiud a tellowJbristiau of his own denominational itripe, on his return to his friends resorted that in all that village he had jeen able to fiud but a single Metbolist, and she was a Baptist. It very >fteu happens that some of our very jest Methodists are Baptists.?N. \ . \dvocate.
