by the mBPHVm?isPATCK last week to the Columbia Begister, that paper, in its issue of the 2oth, says that the attachment of the Eecord reporters item to the Dispatch's editorial on the "Leapharfr Eespite was purely a piece of inadvertence on its part and not its intention "to break the force of the editorial, or to enable Governor Bichardson to escape public censure by giving it as an excuse for not furnishing the people of Lexington with the contents of that affidavit." Li making this proper disclaimer, the.Begis ter has placed the information before * its readers, who probably were led to believe, from the manner in which it published the editorial, that the Record's item originated with the Dispatch and was a. part of its article. This is satisfactory to the Dispatch, but we trust that in the. future the Register will not be so inadvertent as to give to the public items which would seem to justify the Governor's course in the Leaphart matter aftd credit them to the Dispatch. The Register denies that the people of Lexington regards its report of the Committee's interview with the Governor otherwise than impartial. It would be an easy matter to obtain from the Committee a statement to controvert this idea of the Register, and as we claim to be more conver sant with the views of the people of Lexington than those the Register, we are satisfied that they, placing more confidence- in the statements of the Committee than the Register gained from Governor Richardson, directly or indirectly, do not regard the Register's report impartial, though it may have intended it so.

Kirby Smith were present. The old Confederates cut the traces of Gen. Johnston's car rirge, too.^ out the horses and drew the carriage through the streets amid the greatest enthusiasm. In commuting the sentence of the negro who murdered Sheriff Hood's father in Chester from hanging to the penitentiary far'life, Governor Bich&rd&cn has got himself into ani other unenviable position, though not so bad as that with Lexington. The condition of the'cotton mill at* Darlington is so prosperous that the directors have decided to double its - capacity. Last week it shipped six car-loads of shirting to Boston, and has orders for its goods ahead till Augqst. McGregoe, who killed Cody some months since on the streets in Warrenton, Ga., was tried recently in that place for murder. The jury was out nearly fire days and nigiits and brought in a verdict of not guilty. W. E. Jackson, an Augusta lawyer, lias succeeded in the making a machine for the manufacture of bagging from ? the' cotton stalk; equal in strength to" the jute, and less inflammable. He estimates that he can pay $2 per ton for cotton stalks de livered at mill. Speaker Thos. B Reed made a bitter anti Southern speech at a celebration of General Grant's birthday in Pittsburg.

Chairman and Gentlemen: When Napoleon drew up his army before the Mamalukes under the shadow of the pyramids, pointing to the latter he said to his soldiers: "Remembar that from yonder heights forty centuries look down upon you." Men of Lexington, fathers of the daughters, husbands of the wives and brothers of the sisters, from the pyramid top of opportunity on which God has set us, we look down on forty centuries. "We, to-day, stretch our hand into the future with power by our proper actions to mould the destiny of future generations. Notwithstanding the perils which threaten us, and by which we are surrounded, you can place yourselves in a position to occupy the Gibralter of the age which will command the world's respect. In the language of the poet: "We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time: In an aee on ages telling. To be living iasrcbllme." To-day, fellow-citizens, the mystic clouds of disappointment hover over -as again. Governor Richardson has | broken his sacred pledge to our Committee that he would furnish them with the contents of the affidavit and necessary papers upon which he based hi3 actions in respiting the condemned man. What, gentlemen, is our position to-day? Under the pledge of our Committee that went to Colombia on last Saturday at our bidding, our hands are tied, let us then rise above the Chief Executive of the State and carry out the pledsre of our Committee. Let us act I calmly and with consideration, re-1 ^ the i world are^fon us. The rights SSjr which wb contended have been warned us. Judge Wallace and Gov-} ernor Richardson, taking with them, \ in their secret bosom G. T. Graham, sit in star chamber denying us, nut only our Constitutional rights, but the inherent ones bought by the blood of a noble ancestry. Governor Richardson, who should be the representative of the sovereign people, to-day binds our rights with the shackles of secrecy. He holds within his possession to-day an affidavit at the. hands of an infamous creature that effects the character of one of Lexington's d?ugfeic*a>iipcn v whom one of the most infamous and dunning crimes known to Hie Anglo-Saxon race has been committed. That daughter who, in the incipiency of her womanhood,has written with the blood of her virginity upon the criminal records of the Court of Lexington the damning details of that di&boli cal deed. Great God! gentlemen, how can we forbear? But forbear we must and show to the world the moral stamina we possess and the magnanimity of our people. "What, gentlemen, are our legal rights under the laws of our State? The Governor is required to keep all the public records that may be transmitted to his keeping. That public record is not the record of Governor Richardson, but the record of the people and at their bidding must be shown. He can have no secret in any public document and his actions in the refusal to unfold to our view the contents of that affidavit upon which he based his official act is without a precedent in the history of our State, and is poisonous to the great fundamental principles which underlie every fabric of our Constitution. That affidavit is the property of the people and its contents should be made known. If it be false, then the party that made it should receive the severest penalty of the law, and ' if it never comes to light, G. T. Graham should be held to account for it, and you, by your acts of condemnation, should drive him from At- f A TT_., we conmies ex your couuiy. xou have heard, fellow citizens, the report of your Committee. You have hid unfolded for your consideration by the Sheriff the authority by which he was governed in his removing the prisoner from the confines of the Lexington jail to that of Richland. And, just here, I wish to remark that I think no censure should be attributed to Mr. Drafts in the discharge of that duty. He occupies & different positior^from us ae private citizens. He has placed his hand on that sacred Book handed down by the Omnipotent God through his divine agents upon which all our Christ ian civilization is based and took, the oath of office to discharge his duty and every duty that was encumbent upon him to do, and as a Christian man he only discharged that duty which was forced upon him by one higher in authority. And now, in conclusion, gentlemen, I ask you again to show your magnanimity by standing to the pledge of your Committee and in all your deliberations act with care and consideration today, and in the near future the criminal will be executed, justice be done, the majesty of the law vindi- j cated and the great wrong avenged, j V \ la This the Way to Enforce the i^aw? THE AFFIDAVIT SHOtJLD SOT ftAV^BEE^ . ? Governor Kichardson, has aroused the people of Lexington against the Chief Executive. We do not understand why the affidavit in question should for a moment be kept from the people. THE CITIZENS OF LEXINGTON HAVE ACTED NOBLY. York Enterprise. It is indeed unfortunate that the Governor acted in the manner that he did. He had the whole militia of the State at his command, and what was done, should have been done in open daylight, and without the cover of secrecy if it took the whole force to do it. The citiaens acted nobly in the matter when the prisoner was arrested, and when they had every opportunity to lynch him, * * * his action has the appearance of reproaching the good people of Lexington, when in fact they should be commended. BROKE FAITH WITH THE COMMITTEE. Carolina Spartan. The Le&phart case of Lexington county has become an important affair. Leauhart was resulted until * the ninth of May by the Governor. The citizens of Lexington demanded the affidavit on which Judge Wallace's recommendation was founded. The Governor claimed that he' had no secret to hide from the people, but when Miss Cannon's attorney went to him for the affidavit ho reS fused to show it. Certain citizens of Lexington then held a meeting and passed resolutions showing up the whole case and they declared that the Governor in refusing to furnish the affidavit has broken faith with the committee and denied the citizens an inherent right. This meeting was held last Saturday and the people will wait anxiously to see what the Governor will do. soj?oo?3?xu-iBff?*>!C8gM IT. Newberry Herald and NewsT ?? The Lexington people have been very greatly stirred up for the past two weeks over the action of Gov fcrfior Richardson in respiting the negro, Wellie Leaphart, who had Kaon <wnviftfod And son fori cod to he hanged lor outraging a young white girl in the town of Lexington tome time since. When the respite was given the prisoner was removed to Columbia. The affidavit submitted to Judge Wallace upon which he re-commended has not yet been made public and the Governor refuses to give it as yet to the public. The evidence of the guilt of the party is conclusive. ] He was permitted to ben ' tried without harm to his person and but for this respite would have been executed legally. It is a very rare thing for a negro charged with this offense on a white girl, to be given even a trial. This is one crime that has been somehow looked upon as deserving of summary punishment. We do not want any innocent man hanged, but the delay and proceedings in this case will very much add to the chances of any one in the future charged with this crime being given summary punishment without process of law or court The Governor we presume has what he considers good reasons for withholding the contents of the affidavit upon which the respite was i--J Artbaa Irnnr o-nrr gTtUllttU, UUb 1TO WU1WII DCU nun kwj good will result from it. INDIGNANT DIGNITY. Koowee Courier. On last Saturday there was a second mass meeting of the citizens of Lexington county to hear the report of the committee appointed the week previous to wait upon the Governor in the case of Wellie Leapnart, colored. The report was made that the Governor had refused to make known the contents of the affidavit on which the respite of Leaphart was granted. One of the speakers said 'that Governor Richardson and Judge Wallace, who should be representatives of South Carolina, to-day sit in a star chamber and we are denied our rights. The Governor is keeping in his office a public document that should be submitted to il-- 1- ? ?? we peopie. lowuug mwiuwuu? were unanimously adopted denouncing the action of the Gorernor in withholding so long the contents of the affidavit as "tyrannical," and is "spreading broad cast over the country rumors as to the contents thereof damaging to the character of the outraged lady, and fostering the spirit of lynch law." It is to be feared that this is the only case of the kind that will be allowed to go to trial in our courts for a good many days to come. The chastity of the womanhood of South Carolina will be maintained at all hazards, and hereafter the ready rope and nearest limb will be apt to supercede such vexatious delays of the law in yisiting swift and merited punishment upon the foul perpetrator. There is no law nor justifiable reason for the Governor's course in keeping the contents of the affidavit so long from the public. THE LEXINGTON TROUBLE. Spartanburg Herald. The Lexington people are net yet appeased. They held a meeting on Saturday, in which they passed res- j _ . r \ 4~/ fl , olutions strongly denounc? /the action of Governor Richard* in. refusing to disclose either j ^ author or the contents of the affi< rit upon ^ ?whiq}| fVl<a 1'f ^panted * "ferfSoc of "deat h for outr ^uTtt sault- The grievance of t gc g00lj , Poorlo seems to consist hcre appar. ent concealment from thff, If paper which is alleged constituted the single grata d upon which Judge Wallace ree^amended the reprieve that was cgfT'ed. The Governor is reported as wihholding the paper because he'fears {that violence may be done to tie affiant. This is surely a most'?emaiable position. If the statement u the affidavit is true, the author rnfed fear no v i harm from the Lexington people, who have already shown their determination to stand by the law aqjt to keep faith with Governor Richa?dson. If that statement is false, f?he author should be known and he g&ould suffer the severest penaltiesv'iffixed to the crime of .perjury. fK There is much in this cto irritate even the most patient of the people. The application S: respite was made only the day fo&rore that fixed for the execution. ?he newly discovered evidence seofits to have AAWM/V i A 1 ? i *1* ? uujjuc tu iiguh ui wc > of r UJLUA. VI time. But when is the potion for a new trial to be heard? Judge Wallace has been sitting in tie Fifth Circuit two weeks since the i application for respite. How much linger is the public to wait before learning the grounds upon which the due course of law has been interrupted? How much longer are they to be kept wondering what can be the contents of that mysterious affidavit? The course of the Governor in withholding the contents of the paper on which he claims to have acted is most unfortunate. It is certainly without precedent. The Executive j authority should rarely if ever be called to account for the exercise of the pardoning power. ^JThe Governor is vested with a certain discretion, and where - that 4ncorriipllj^and__ CftHy^exer cised the people ought net to "he heard to complain. But where the grounds of pardon or respite are to be found in a paper submitted to a Judge or the Governor, that paper is, or it ought to be, a public record, the contents of which may be ascertained by any citizen. Such has been the invariable practice of the Executive department of this State, and the departure from "it In the Leaphart case was alike USfortunate and improper. The sooner the mysterious affidavit is placed in the .category with the other records in the office la win ?ases ture. " Thfl ftroAnrilla News well 8*VS that in the event of any commission, in the State, of. the crime of which this negro Leaphart was lawfcfty convicted, we may surety expect afynching. That must be one result $. the remarkable aspect which the; case presents in consequence of the Governor's more remarkable action. Tillman's Plan of Campaign *, To be Arranged at Columbia on the 2d of May. } * Greenville, April 25.?Captain G. Wash Shell of Laurens, Chairman of the Tillman Campaign Cdmmitiee, was in the city to-day, Captain Shell i&ormed a reporter who tafed with him that he had called his Campaign Committee to meet in Columbia on May 2d to arrange the plans for I Captain Tillman's canvass of the State. He intimated that the ques tion of filling the vacancy on the March Convention ticket caused by Col. Coit's declination of the nomination for lieutenant Governor would come before this Committee, but he said he thought it likely tiie place would be left unfilled. * State Farmers' Alliance Exchange. Columbia Bearistur. The regular quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors of the State Farmers' Alliance Exchange was held in this city yesterday at Hotel Jerome: There were present the f ol| lowing Directors: J.

Donaldson of Greenville, the State Superintendent, was also in attendance _on the meeting, which was mainly ^devoted to considering reports of the business of the past quarter, andlooking I forward to the prospects in the future. The trade of the Exchange has averaged about $1,000 per day for the past quarter and its whole operation has been very successful and satisfactory. The outlook for in mAllf tuc XUIU1C 19 WiiDiUCACU WVOV ?g- > Arrangements were made iov the purchase of supplies-for the coming season in plenty of^ time to yeady for the demand tfe^for, and the matter cf handling the of Alliance farmers, especially th^elling of their cotton,was discussed tS&pughly. It is probable that Alliance' warehouses will be established 0 various points throughout the State, and in all things the interests of the farmer* are to be looked after. A Card from Miss Cannon's Father Lewiedale, S. C., April 26th, 1890, Hon. S. P. Wingard, Cliainnan, Lexington, S. C.?Dear Sir: "Wishing to express mf "gratitude to you and the balance of Urc who waited upon the Governor in the case, and in behalf of my daughter, I take this opportunity to say, in my feeble way, that I am under everlasting obligations to you, and all the good people of this county who have taken an interest in this matter for me and my family. I feel that there has been a great deal more done for me by my friends than I could do myself. My family and mends in the Old Country across the water, in my native land, shall know and remember you and the good people of this county. I would be glad if all the Committee read this. I am, and remain your friend forever. Patrick Cannon. ii i. I'or the Lexington Dispatch. Canghman Items. Everything is now calm and serene we believe. Farmen are hard at work getting in their cotton seed. Corn is up and looking very well. The fruit crop will be a fizz. The peach trees are about half dead, from what cause we are not able to say. The blackberry prospects are very' good, and won't there be a grabbing amongst them when thev get ripe. Wherefore is this silence among us in regard to railroad matters. The Batesburg people are determined, it seems, to bring the Blackville, Newberry and Alston Railroad to that place from Seivern. Let us remind the people on this side that this is our road, the road that has been waiting for us to take hold of it and help it through and if we let it slip by we ruin the chance probably of twenty five years. There is talk of pulling it toward Greenwood. This should not be, but we should see that Newberry be on its route. The survey from Batesburg to the Saluda river cannot be excelled for a rail road route while the facilites for crossing the river at Holley Shoals cannot be surpassed. Our immediate . section is now wrought up to suoh a pitch of progress that we are sadly better facilities in the way of mails" aa^transportation. In winter our marke^i^^s are generally [ in a most miserablep^it owing to the immense amount of freight transported thereon. We have^st-tMh place now three saw mills which are in immediate need of railroad facilities. The transportation of lumber alone would justify the extension of a railroad . line across the country through this section. We hope our people will awake to a sense of their* daily needs and see what can be done toward inducing the railroad men to make a careful study of us before passingusby. Dr. Sease is happy again.

"Push along, keep moving," was the refrain of a song I used to sing in my boyhood days, and I mean now to sing it again. So, come, one and all, and lend a helping hand to push this ball along; and as we go "marching on," well sing our little song of "Push along, keep moving." I remember once seeing some hands rolling a house, and their movements were kept very harmonious by the. welltimed cry of "fresh holt." So we must act in unison to the cry of "let 'er roll"?push. Come, push along boys, let's keep it moving. And whenever, if ever, we stop to rest, we will cheer each other with a paraphrase of Bill Arp's well known words, "Hurrah for our side"?Democrat or no Democrat, Independent or no Independent, hurrah for our side! Fellow citizens, I mean to say this. The Fanners' Movement, which Al- - VJ.'Iav T^too i fnu Vi a c lilt/ JLjUilVi VI Clio mmw called "The Ball in Motion" and our friends,' the enemies, have called "Tillmanism," is nothing more nor less than the demands of justice of the farmers, by the farmers for the farmers. It is our ball and he who would hinder or stay its onward movement is not a friend of the farmers. Certainly no farmer's hand or voice should be raised against it, for that would be suicidal?yea, worse than that?it would be stabbing your best friend in the back. "United we stand, divided we fall."
