Daring the whole of last week tbe gates c the hospitable city of Charleston were throw open, and the people ol that city welcome within Its borders, all who had come to b present on tbe occasion which will be men orable. We have beard nothing but good of Charlei ton,and, as far as we know, every one r< turned home, delighted with tbe trip. Ad? Idea tbat Charleston was derelict In a: tentlon or hospitality to anybody Is not to b entertained. We believe tbat some of Got Candler's friends at one time thought the dli tlngulshed Georgian bad not been sbowi deserved honors, but this was cleared away. Gen. Wheeler was not In the parade, bo nobody was to blame. It was a mere acc dent, which no one regrets more than Ger eral Walker. Charleston never slighted an; body, and certainly no such men as Get Wheeler and Gov. Candler were knowing], neglected. The fact is, we will on geners principles, stand sponsor for Charleston i! the matter of good manners. K-J. . About twenty-five thousand visitors wer In tbe city last week, aua rrom an equai nuu ber of voices are now coming tbe praises c thegood old city of Charleston. No serious accident or loss befell anybody though a few persons lost small amounts c money, whloh were abstracted from tbel pockets by light-lingered gentry. ? Not a single arrest was made for drunkec nee*, which speaks volumes for the multltud and tbe good effects of tbe dispensary law. General Hampton was a conspicuous figure and was greatly cheered by old soldiers. % ~ General Gordon was there, too, and hi showed attention to some of the old womei ,3f In the auditorium. Mr. R. ?. Lee, Jr., who made a sensation b; bis presenoe, and bis speeches in Abbevilli last Summer, was nominated for Commander Kn?. roaji bv Mr. Coiault. of Georgia Both were good men, and either one woulc hava served well. The News and Cdorier made a splendid 1? sue of the paper on Wednesday, which re quired an Immense amonnt of work, anc much outlay of money. Pictures of dls tlnguished soldiers, and of tbe Sponsors anc tbelr Maids of Honor, were presented, and in terestlng sketches of each were given. Tbe Charleston Post was very kind to the Veterans and spoke cheering woids to then In fovlng tones. ?5' ? The action of tbe two newspapers were somewhat on different lines and suggested the Idea that maybe tbe service had been divided, The Poet paving been pat on a committee tc look after the private soldiers, while tbe Newt and Ooarler would look after tbe Colonelf and tbe pretty sponsors and tbelr maids 01 honor. The Post cheered ap tbe old boys with the reflection that they might not live to see an otber Reunion, and suggested tbe Idea that they now bad a favorable opportunity to loob upon tbe officers, after which they might gc off and die at tbelr leluire?any time between now and the next Reunion. Each newspaper did its part well, and most acceptably, and we hope that neither may be vexed at tbe Press and Banner, In case we have not divided the honors evenly. Botfc papers did beautifully. Taken as a whole, these Reunions of the Confederate Veterans are tbe greatest instl tutlons on eartb. One notable thing aboul these gatherings is, ?he increasing numbers that attend each Buccedlng Reunion Like tbe list of pensioners, it grows with tb< passing years. There were, we believe, 25,(XX of them In Charleston this week?consid' erably more than Lee bad at Appomattox. As a place of enjoyment, as has been said by another, these Reunions have no equal foi two classes, namely : Tbe very high and th< very humble. Tbe very high enjoy It becaus< of tbe adoration wblcb tbey receive from tbe very humble. The very humble enjoy It be cause of tbe opportunity tbey have to mak< manifest their idolatry of tboBe they deerr their superiors. For these two classes uo oo caslon on earth Is as good aB a Reunion. There is another class ? an intermediate class?who are not high enongh to be wor shipped by anybody, and wbo are too self respecting to fall down and worship anybody Tbey simply keep In tbe middle of tbe road enjoying things as they pass in review, with out tbe slightest hope of being factors In th< nuAAt st?*omo nrVil/ih la Katnn rtnwa<4 Qn t jivav umuia n uiuu id uciu|( pet iui iuoui wv iv speak, tbey are merely lookers on Id Vienna Homble spectators, witnessing the show. The next Reunion will be held In Louisville Ky. For ber stirring scenes, her blstorU events, and her sentimental soDgs, all tbe Southland loves Kentueky with her blui grass and walnut trees. The two classei wblcb enjoy these Reunions will no doubt b( there in great numbers. This editor hopes to live to see the day when the Reunions will be in fact Reunion of the Confederate 8oldlers. Tbe Colonel and their ldolators have had so many In nings, that tbe rehearsals are beginning t< have something of a sameness about them namely: Tbe same riders, the same buggers tbe same kissers, etc. Some notice was taken ofMoKinley's talk about Confederate graves. We tblnk tbe Vet erans, or those who spoke for them, were to< much exercised. Tbe whole discussion, i seemed to US. was out of nrrt#r MaKItiIoi never bad any idea of disturbing the Confed erate graves, or depriving anybody of tbi mournful pleasure of decorating them. Thi fact is, we do nut believe be bas lost any sleei at all on the subject. He merely spoke fig uratlvely, and only meant to be agreeable t< his hosts while on a visit to the South. Tbe railroads bandied tbe multitude wltl wonderful promptness, and totbesatlsfactloi of all. Tbe trains never before came In a promptly during excursion seasons as the] ' did last week. Mr. William Hempblll came baok froa Charleston greatly delighted with bis trip anp talks Interestingly of tbe ships and tb na/\r\lo thof tstx cam About eighty persons went to Cbarlestoi from Abbeville. Messrs. Wyatt Aiken, W. 8. Colhran an A. W. Smith, went as delegates from Cam Clark Allen. Hon. F. B. Gary went as one < tbe distinguished speakers who was to ac dress tbe assembled multitude In tbe AudlU rium. Mr. Gary, as might have been ej pected, delivered one of tbe most chaste an eloquent speeches of the occasion. Abbevll) Is always proud of her sons when tbey acqul themselves with honor.
