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

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

Pope Plus Ix.
Giovanni? 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. The
ministry at Rome, which was'dissolv
ed by the'Pope from Gaeta, formed j

very ideal of graie and loveliness
Her head is not more beautiful be
cause it wears a diadem, nor he
throat more white and shapely becaus
it is hung with the most exquisit
pearls. She ?3 a perfect linquisl
d'raws and paints with much talenl
does beautiful fine needle-work, lik
all convent-educated young princesses
and last but not' least, sings ver
Bweeljy, with a bird-like voice, as d<
ali. Italians. At Monza, an hour'
drive from Milan, is one of the Hoya
country seat?, and there, in summe
time, tbe princess reads, sings, am
wanders ia the old garden like ahum
ming-bird, drinking Tn the beau tie
of nature with a heart that is freer
from all court restraint. Clear; beam
ing eyes of Savoyan blue, her hai?
of a pale, golden brown, .-md a com
plexiou that seems a reflex of Lei
Alpine snows when tinted with ??j
first aurora: Features of po.-itiv<
beauty, with trank, high forehead
antl-acall, flexible mouth. " Tho nose
is perfectly acquiline, a lifctis long
perhaps, yet it doss not detract iron:
the general winsomeness of her beam
ing countenance. 'Humbert, who waf
very wild in his youth, ?uder tin in
fluence of si loving-a wife and chsrm
ing a princess has changed >;o com
pletely as to become quite sympathet
ic to the Italians." Certainly no ono
ivor came into a throne with so little
trouble and with so charming a Quaen.
A medical writer says poor circu
lation is indicated by cold feet,
jreenbacks must stump around on
cicles in these parts.
Contempt will sooner kill an inju
ry than revenge.
