M Gary and Buller? Cen. M. MY, Gary Replies to the Slan ders of the New York Times-His Speech Beforo the Senate of South Carotina-A Complete Vindication. MP.. PRESIDENT-I ask your indul gence for a few moments, while I avail myself of the privilege accorded me as a member of this honorable body of repelling charges preferred jgain3t ine by some base traducer. [Q the columns of the New York Times there recently appeared an in genious but mendacious and slander ms attack upon the Hon. M. C. Bat er, United States Senator from South' karolina, and myself. It is not my mstom to erjage in newspaper con troversy, nor, under ordinary circum stances, would I avail myself of my >rivilege as a Senator to meet on this loor accusations made against me by orresponden'ts of the Northern press. Sat the article referred to has been eproduced in the National Bepnbli ??.of, thc City,.of.WsshiagtoD,' and ysteaatic-ally distributed among the IEmber3-ot tuts, tienerai Aabe?h?.y y che instrumentality of its author, ir by some one .equally unfriendly ,nd malicious. The same charges vere, during the memorable campaign if 1S76, with evil intent, published n thc columns of the Union-Herald, if Columbia, S. C., then edited by ;hat notorious carpet-bagger, J. G* Thompson, and owned in greater part Dy Daniel H. Chamberlain. This pa per was the acknowledged organ of the Eadical party of South Carolina, md the mouth-piece of that corrupt ka^er. The authorship of thi? vile slander no one then doubted, nor could the motive and spirit that prompted its publication be question ed. That this henchman of D. H. Chamberlain, encouraged perhaps by other evil designing persons, is the author of this renewed attack I am credibly informed and fully believe. Xn reply to this malicious slander I Leg to make the following statement o." facts ': In the month of April, 1871, the Hon. M. C. Butler and I were in thc city of New York. Shortly after our arrival he was retained as coun sel for Messrs. L. IX Childs, 3". P. Southron, J. B. Palmer and F. W. McMaster, of South Carolina, and yim. E. Everett,- of the city Of New York, the first named gentlemen be ing at that time Presidents of banks in the city of Columbia, S. C. On the day after the employing of Gen. M. C. Butler, Messrs: Childs and Southron, in behalf of themselves and other*, also retained me as asso ciate counsel. The enterprise in which these gentlemen were about to engage, as we were then informed, Tfas the purchase of a large amount of bonds of the State of South Caro . lina, the market price of which was at that time depressed. Their pur pose in employing counsel was to se cure our advice in selecting the class ?jyyL&onds for investment and tahave U3 to represent them in or out of Court in all dealings therewith which might require 'our professional ser vices. At this time the credit of the State was greatly impaired, her bonds depressed in market, and wide-spread distrust in all-her securities prevailed among capitalists North and South. To such au citent had fraud and cor ruption prevailed in ihe management of the Snanc3s of the ?tafo that capi talists everywhere were timid and cautions in investing in South Caro lina bonds and stocks. The records of^he Courts of the State show that these investments were to capitalists, fruitful source: of litigation, aud.they were not unfre ' quently dr:ven,/at great sacrifice, ta resort to-the Supreme Court tc en force their rights. Kepodi.-ition i;?s onenly advocated ?n? generally1 ap; c ? S 2 C [mind of the public, fro distinguish betweetf?he jalid a?f? fraudulent debt' of the Stafewas next to impossible, and, as a convenience, men with funds to invest ib?d it necessary to em- j ploy atior'nWs to advise and protect ' them in th?? dealings in South Caro-,' lina ^ secure*'. W-J were' at this jonction ah j a nder so ch eire es employe^by these gentleman. At first we, -as/s customary, demanded a retainer, -.b^t were prevailed upon to accept.a contingent foe out of the net profits of ?he contemplated invest ment shouB it prove successful, and otherwise fiothing. Before employ ing us, theje gentlemen ascertained dui- views ? to the true-policy ot the people of tfe State touching the ques tion of thejp^lio debt. Then, as now, we ea??r?aiaed and freely ex pressed tho Opinion that the valid debt of.-t ???oi tobe paid. A public^ei^ - this effect by } thejks-p^yers o?' rLV"S???.s aRr\ an iFcertainment as far as^coul?-^ko-oi :he valid and fraudulent debt of the State was demanded by .her best citi zens. All felt that no'efforts should De spared io -dissipate the cloud that mveloped the,condina of her finan ?es and to restore credit to the State. Several days 'after being retained as ittorney, General Butler and I hap sening to meet Messrs. Childs, South .on and Everett upon Nassau street ?he latter gentleman, whom until hen I had never eesu, was introduc ?d to me. . For the first time a mem irandum of agreement, embodying, is Mr. Everett said, our contract of ervice, was presented to tis by him, ind our approval and signature re tested. To questions propounded ?y us, after a hast? examination of he paper, and in explanation of its on ten ts, Mr. Everett stated that ?eneral Butler and I, though repre ented as prominent citizens of South Jarolina, were personally strangers o him; and that, before embarking l'an enterprise of such magnitude, e would like to have some assurance hat we would not use our. influence 5 break down .the credit ot tke State j advertising the repudiation of the ublic debt, but would use our_en eavors to restore to its proper value er lawful bonded dubt. Without estowfng upon the paper much lought, we assured him that we fa ored the payment of the honest debt f the State, were opposed on princi ie to repudiation, and did not object ) do in our professional capacity as burneys What' accorded iii }?y with f -rT-i^^r^??J-1 atcrtamed as citizens A/?1HJ??--??tate referred then to the public meeting lentioned in the agreement, and in armed Mr. Everett that I could not ttend such a meeting in Columbia, i?- on the 3d day of May, 1871, s private business of a pressing na ure required me to be then Mn Ar :ansps. In that year Gen. .Butler ,nd I were engaged in the business if life insurance in th'i3 State, and tad an office in Columbia, and it was hen General Butler's purpose to be :ome, as be afterwards did, a resident if this city. The meeting, as we un lerstood, referred to-in the memoran - 1 um, was one to be held by the citi ons of Columbia with reference-to ;he public affaira of .the Stated and jossibly, but of this I have no dis ?nct recollection, for the purpose of ?ppointing delegates to the Tax Pay ers' Convention, atterwards held in ;his-city At that time I was not in political life, and was giving exclu sive attention to. my privat? affairs and professional business, and not emly had no agency in bringing about the meeting of this Cenvention, but did not expect to take part in its pro ceedings. Messrs. Childs and South ron said they did not suggest the written memorandum or insist upon ita execution, but Mr. Everett .said he desired it as a check to any action on our part as citizens, which, by stimulating a epirijj of .repudiation, would render his heavy investments disastrous, and stated that he knew nothing about the contemplated pub lic meeting in Columbia, and that my absence therefrom was a matter of indifference to him. With. this ex-, planation we signed the agreement as attorneys at law. Ai this time, Aprii 12,1871, neither General But ler nor myself had been chosen to attend thc Tax Pairs' Convention, which met on the Oth May following, nor did we attach any importance to so much of tin agreement as referred to a public meeting Co be held in Co lumbia. Leaving New York I pro ceeded "directly to Arkansas, and having finished my business, I rel turned, reaching home on thc nigh! of May 5, 1871. On the following day, which was sales day, our citi zens met and chose as delegates .t< the Convention General M. C. Butler James H. Giles, 0. Sheppard, Esq. Col. A. P. Butler, Gov. M. L. B?iJ J ham and myf?elf. On the a semhliij of the Convention I was nominati I for President, as was also the H |W. D. Porter. I declined the no I nation in the following words: ! am tere not as an aspirant for ! office within the gift pf this Con vj I ti on. 'but ns a .representative of 'je. ;- people of Edgeiidd.---.Since the/ ; Siilts"of the'war have been 'so dif? ...trpus to us, I must confers that wjfc ever ambition I mightbave bad pre vious to that time, I have none now. | I am, therefore, unwilling that Dy; the use cf my name the harmony of this Convention should he disturbed. I do think, at a time like .the present, wherry we are oppressed vre should; present a, united front; we should ! have'no differences between ue. Act uated'by these feelings, I must de- ; cline the nomination." An examination of the published j proceedings of the Convention will | show that I introduced but three res olutions, two extending the privileges of the floor , to friends, and one upon the subjectof cumulative yoting. In my speech in. .apport of that meas ure I took occasion to use the follow-'' ing language: "I would ask: Why have we gathered together from all parts of the; Stated Why have thc wise men of the-State me.tin. council?'. FrW tnafoi-t ih'airtMg^^^v'e^D'St! a : levied by the present Legislature, "which in-our impoverished condition, we ate unable to pa)'. To say that these abuses of the Government have been effected-by the Republican or Radical party, would be unjust, for it would be a gross misnomer to dig nify those now in power ly any party name. They are known by all honest men, North, South, East and West, irrespective of party alliances, as thieves and robbers." Now, who were -the men then in power ? R. K Scott was Governor, Daniel^ H. Chamberlain, Attorney. Gen eral; Niles t?. Parker, Treasurer and J. L.Neagle, Comptroller-Gen er al. In a parliamentary body I could not have used language more seveie. Subsequently at Edgefield Court; House, on the 12th day of August, A. D., 1876, I felt at liberty to de nounce D. H. Chamberlain again face to face in language more bitter and scathing. Neither in this Conven tion nor out of it, before nor since, did I, directly or indirectly, do or say anything derogatory to the honor of South Carolina or inimicaFto her welfare or the interest of her honest tax paying citizens. I was. not a member of the " committee of eleven," nor did I endeavor in any manner to intrude my counc?ls into their deli? erations, or to control their actions or i he action of. any member of the Convention. This committee was com posed of Messrs. M. C. Butler, G-i- J brie! Cannon, W. H. Wallace, A. M. Lowery, E. J. Scott, Cadwadleder. frikes, B . W. Ball, Richard. Lathers, honorable, ars intelligent and as pa triotic as then could, or now can be found in the State. With the-tabors of this committee I had naught to do. My whole attention was given to the subject referred to the com mittee on election . and suffrage laws of which D was Chairman; and I challenge any member of the Con vention*,^ jany other man, to say that either'during th? session of th* Convention, .or before or after its meeting, I/held any conference with iiim, or anf manner sought to exer cise influence, in reference to the ac tion of the Convention on the matter of the puljlic debt ol' the State. Out | .of the "(bmmittee of eleven" was selected a- sub-committee of which the Hon.G. A. Trenholm was Chair man, theablest financier of the State, and thiasub-committee was specially charged/to'investigate the finances of j the Stale. The ability,-earnestness, integri^" and patriotism of the gen tlemencomposing this committee and sub-copmittee cannot be questioned. Theiraames sufficiently negative the slightest suspicion that they could be influejtcod by corrupt men"or by cor rupt motives. From the labors of this 'pommittee of eleven" caine ?wo repois upon different branches bf the subjt-t matter of investigation,, the one submitted by General M. C. But. 1er non general grievances of the Stat? and the^other by the Hon. Georje A. Trenholm upon the bond ed dbt, both of which were approv ed aid adopted by the Convention. Genial Butler and I were but two of a d&gation of six from Edgefield, andput two in a Convention of dele gate from twenty-six counties of the St?, composed of her ablest and bescitizens. The action of that. Con vection was entirely in "accord with oi| views aud sentiments touching tlj public debt and measures of State pjicy in geneial, and in fact all ita p^ceedings were characterized by .aversal gravity, earnestness and jrmony. To charge us with betray jv the true interests of our constitu hcy in that Convention, or with con fering against the welfare of the ioople of the State, is te hv a similar Charge at the door of every member 3bf that body. To say that we im /properly controlled or influenced 'their action is an insult to their in telligence and integrity, and a base ??ander upon them as well as upon J ourselves. This argument is unfair ly and maliciously paraded before the public, was open and free to ex hibition. About it there was nothing secret or designed to be hidden. Geri. Butler did hbl hesitate to' go to the ci fy ' :pf;Ne\v York, and in open Court, in the suit between, Childs and Southron against Wra^-E,vEyerettt to testify to the"- genfcinefe??^a'ndt purport ?of thia'paper, and the circumstances i der which it was executed. Pr to Iiis, going to New York it was p posed.or suggested by a distinguish lawyer of-th is State, in a letter ".General Butler, intended for c joint perusal, that it would, better that the -.enif should comproiui-ed in ord-r 1o suppn thia agreement. This propoaiti General Butler, with my hearty ec currence, declined, and unhesitatic ly unfolded thc paper to the woi by his testiihbuy in open Court. D i?rted construction to his piejud he defied, ?ind so do I ; conscious, we are, of nothing wrong in agree: to serve aa attorneys gentlemen high character, and to' leod our by proper means A o reinstate ruined credit of the State.

Maria Mastai Ferreti afterward Pope Pius IX.-was bc May 13, 1792, at Senigaglia. J twelve years he was sent to a scho at Volterra, Tuscany. He re maint there until sixteen. He was orig Dally destined by his father, Cour Fe; ret?-, for the "military profession ilthoogh it was-his mother's wisl that he should enter the church. H< :ame to Rome with the' hope of ob t?ining a commission in the Pepe'.' Noble Guard, and had obtained the placing "of. his name on the roll ol candidates for a commission, and wa:, iwaiting a vacancy. Ile was.subject to epileptic fits, however, j?nd for this reason the comtnahdanl ot t1{v then abandoned his intended profes sion^ and .studied for the church.' On the 18th of December, 1818, bc rc sei ved his first orders as sub-deacon, and his full priest's orders shortly af terwards, or. condition that he should never celebrate mass save with an other priest at ins ; elbow. This was on account of his tendency to epilep sy. This condition was subsequent:}* removed by Piu3 VII., and it ?3 sta ted by some of the biographers of the late Ppp3 that the malady afterward completely elisa] pearei. The Conclave of Cardinals, for the election of a successor to Pope Greg ory XVI., assembled at the Quirinal Jurie 15, 1840. Fifty Cardinals were present, and the votes of thirty-four -two-thirds of the members-were necessary to elect. Cardinal Mast*1 was chosen to fill the office of readei of the votes. To the astoni?hment of all he received thirteen votes on the first ballot. On the second ballot he received seventeen votes. On the third ballot, taken on the 16th, he received twenty-seven votes, and on the next ballot he received thirty-six votes-two more than the necessary ?wo-thirds-^-and was elected. He had to announce his own election, and was almost prostrated by emotion. He was fifty-four years of age at the time, being one bf the youngest Car dinals in the Church. While the conclave was in session an Austrian Cardinal was ou th? way to Rome, carrying with him Austria's veto o* the elevation of Mastai to the Papa cy, but he had hardly passed the Tuscan frontier before he was met by the'HOWS that the-Pope was electedi and that Mastai was the man. . "Upon ascending to the Papal chair, he entered at once on a course of re form. He resolved to extirpate ali abuses of administration, financial as woll ?s political, to withdraw as far as possible the restrictions of person al liberty, to secularize in many de ta .s the local administration, and to extend the right of self-government as far aa was compatible with the es sential institutions of the Roman States. He also granted an amnesty. His reforming policy did not-meet the expectations of the populacej however, and in 1848 che Roman rev olution broke out. The Pope'? Prime Minister, Count Rossi, was assHssina ted in November of that year, and violent demonstrations were employ ed to compel the Pope's ass?nt to measures which he repudiad, ^e was driven to confine himself a close prisoner in the Quirinal ;. and^ at length, in December, he fled secretly from Rome and established himself at Gaeta, a Neapolitan seaport, not far ' "beyond the Roman fronter.
