SOME HEARTS. Through days a-weary, anu scenes 30 dreary, Some heart In the shadow must stay. While the aching eyes scan gloomy skies For a light in the far away. Through the darkness deep, dread agonies creep, And steal the reluctant perfume Of the flowers rare, that fate seemed to dare, On the grigf stricken soil to bloom. Through the dismal years, of weeping and fears, Some hearts, with theii burden of woe. On the grim highway, where no sun beams play. Through the blackness of night must go. Some hearts mnst weep, while other hearts | sleep. Ne'er dreaming of pain or sorrow, Some hearts are sighing,, some hearts are crying O'er visions of dread tomorrow. Some hearts must kneel and the chast'niiig fee!. As hopes that were framed in the past Fall into decay, and swift, pass away, Too frail, through suffering, to last. Some hearts are aching, and silently breaking, While the lives of others are crowned With rarest delight, that never takes flight, Where despair's dark face never frowned. LESSONS OF A LAUGH. Ret. Dr. Talms^t'ii D?scuas<m Anoiher Unique Subject. Brooklyn, July 15.?Rev. Dr. Talmage, who is now in Australia on his round the world journey, has selected as the subject for his sermon through the press today "Laughter," the text being taken from Faalm cxxvi, 2, "Then was our mouth tilled with laughter," and l'8aim 11, 4, "iiemai siuciu iu uic uwrens shall laugh." Thirty-eight times does the Bible make reference to this configuration of the features and quick expulsion of breath which we call laughter. Sometimes it is born of the sunshine and sometimes the midnight. Sometimes it stirs the sympathies of angels, and sometimes the cachinriation of devii3. All healthy people laugh. Whether it pleases the Lord or displeases him, that depends upon when we laugh and at what we laugh. My ; theme today is the laughter of the Bible j ?namely, Sarah's laugh, or that of: skepticism; David's laugh, or that ofj spiritual exultation; the foci's laugh, or j that of sinful merriment; God's laugh, j or that of infinite condemnation; heaven's laugh, or that of eternal triumph. Scene, an oriental tent; the occupants, old Abraham and Sarah, perhaps wrink led and decrpit. Their three guests j are three angels?the Lord Almighty I one of them. In return for the hopitakty shown by the old people God promises Sarah that she shall become the ances- j tress of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sarah j laughs in the face of God. She does not j believe it. She is affirighted at what' ah* haa rlrin* iih* rfcnifcs it. She SSVS. "I didn't laugh." Then God retorted, with an emphasis that silenced all disputation, "But thou didst laugh!" My Iriends, the laugh of skepticism; in all ages, is only the echo of Sarah's laughter. God says he will accomplish a thiDg, and men say it cannot be dene. A great multitude laugh at the miracles. They say they are contrary to the laws of nature. What is a law of nature? It is God's way of doing a thing. Ycu ordinarily cross a river at one ferry. Tomorrow you change for one day, and you go acrosc another ferry. You made the rule. Have you not the right tochange is? You ordinarily come in at that door of the church. Suppose that next Sabbath ycu should come in at the other door? It is a habit you have! Have you not a right to change your habit? A law of nature is God's habit ?his way of doing things. If be makes the law, has he not a right to change it at any time he wants to change it? Ala3. for the folly of those who laugh at God when he says. "I will do a thing," they responding, "You can't do it." God says that the Bible is true?it is all true. Bishop Colenso laughs; Herbert Spencer laughs; Stuart Mill laughs; great German universities laugb: Harvard laughs ?softly! A great many of the learned Institution's, with long rows of profes sors seated on the fence between Chris tianity and infidelity, laugh soflv. They say, "We didn't laugh." That was Sarah's trick. God thunders from the heavens, "But thou didstlaugh! The garden of Eden was only a fable. There never was any ark built, or if it was built it was loo small to have two of every kind. The pillar of fire by night was only the nothern lights, the 10 pi a gues of Egypt only a brilliant specimen of jugglery. The sea parted because the wind blew violently a great while from oue direction. The sun and moon did not put themselves out of the way for Joshua. Jacob's ladder was only horizontal and picturesque clouds. The destroying angel smiting the the firstborn in Egypt was only cholera infantume become epidemic. The gullet of the whale, by measurement, was too, J small to swallow aprophet the story of the immaculate conception a shock to all decency. The1 lame, the dumb, the blind, the halt cured by mere human surgery. The resurrec | tion of Christ's friend only a beautiful tableau. Christ and Lazarus and Mary and Martha acting iheir parts well. My friends, there is not a doctrine or statement of God's holy word that has not been derided by tne scepticism or( the day. I take up this book of King Jame3' translation. I consider it a perfect Bible, but here are skeptics who want it tern to pieces. And now, with ; this Bible in my hand, let me tear out ; all those portions which the skepticism of this day demands shall be torn out.: What shall go first? "Weil," says some one in the audince, "take out all that about creation and about the first settle ment of the world." Away gce3 Genesis. "Now," says someone, "take out all that about the miraculous guidance of the children of Israel in the wilderness." Away goes Exodus. "Now," say3 some one else in the audience, "there ? ? ? J T~lAn 4-A y?An Am tt An/1 TiTl riffO arc LUiUgo :u ijcutgiuuwmj auu that are not fit to be read." Away go Deuteronomy and the Kings. "Now," says some one, "the book of Job is a fable that ought to came cut." Away goes the book of Job. "Now," says some one, "those passages in the New Testament which imply the divinity of Jesus Christ ought to come out." Away go the Evangelists. "Now," says some one, "the book of Revelation?how pre posterous! It represents a man with the moon under his feet and a sharp sword in his hand." Away goes the book of Revelation. Now there are a few pieces left. What shall we do with them? "Oh," says some man in the audi ence, "I don't believe a word in the .Bible, from one eDd to the other." Weil, it is all gone. ;sow you nave put out the last light for the nation. Now it i3 the pitch darkneess of eternal midnight. How do you like it* But I think, my friends, we had better keep the Bible a little longer intac t. It has done pretty well for a good many vears. Then there are old people who find it a comfort to have it on their laps, ! and children like the stories in it. Let us keep it for a curiosity. If the Bible is to be thrown out of the school and out of the court room, so that men no more swear by it, and it is to be put in a dark corridor of the city library, the Koran on one side and the writings of Confucius on the other, then let us each keep a copy for himself, for we might have trouble, and we would want to be under the delusions of its consolations, and we might die, and we would want the delusion <>f the exalted residence of God's rgh! ' which it. mentions. Oh, what an asvfui thiug it ir- to laugh m God's face and htul Ins Revelation back atbim. After awhile the day will come when they will say they did not laugh. Then all the b\p::rcriiic:sms, all the carica'ures .vail uli the learned sneers la the qua1 terly reviews will^be brought to judgment, aud amid the rocklug of everything'beneath, and amid the lliming of everything above. God will thunder, "But thou didst laugh!" I thick the mobt fascmating laughter at Christraniiy I ever remember * as a man in New England. lie made the word of God stem ridiculous, and ho laughed on at our holy religion until he came to die and then lie said, "Mv life ha* been u failure?a failure domestically?1 have no children; a failure socially, for 1 am treated on the streets 'ike a pirate; a failure professionaliv because 1 know tut ore minister that has adopted ray sentiments,*' For a quart' r ot a century he laughed at Christianity, mid ever since Christianity has been laughing at him. Now, K i- a rj'.au thing to go into - i - i .. i a man's house sn?J m? ..oo?:s, : ui I tell you the moil gigantic burglary ever invented is the proposition io steal these treasures of our holy relhii.n. The meanest lau^h ever ulU-red is the laugh cf the skeptic. The next laughter mentioned iu the B.ble 13 David's laughter, or t!\.e expre38ion of spiritual exultation. "Then was our raouih tilled with laughter." He got very much down sometimes, but there j are other chapters where for four lime3 [ he cails upon the people to praise and exult. It was not a mere twitch of the lips. It was a demonstration that took I hold of his whole physical nature. "Then was cur mouth filled with laughter." My friends, this world will never be converted to God until Christians cry less and laugh and sing more. The horrors are a poor bait. If people are j to be persuaded to adopt our holy religion, it will be because they have made up their minds ft is a happy religion. They don't like a morbid i hristiauity. I know there are morbid people who enjoy a funeral. They come early to see the the friends take leave cf the corpse, and they steal a ride to the cemetery, but all healthy people enjoy a wedding better than they do a burial. Now, you make the religion of Christ sepulchral and hearselike, and ycu make if. r*r>nl.<a?ve. T sav nlant the rose of Sharon along the church walks and columbine to clamhsr over the church wall and have a smile on the lip and have the mouth tillec1 with holy laughter. There is no man in the world, except the Christian, that has a right to feel an uatrammeled glee. He is promised everything to be for the best here, and he 13 on the way to a delight which will take all the processions with palm branches, and ail the orchestras harped and cymballed and trumpeted toexprep3 "Oh," vou say, UI have so much trouble.1" Have ycu more thau Paul had? What does he saj? "Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. Poor, yet making many rich. Having nothing, yet posees3sing all things." Tne merriest laugh I think I ever heard has been in the sick room of God's dear children. When Theodosiu3 was put upon the rack, he suffered very great torture at the first. Somebody asked him how he endured all that pain on the rack. He replied. "When I was first put on the rack, I suffered a great deal, but \-3iy scon a ycuog man in white stood by my side, and with a soft and comfortable handkerchief he wiped the sweat from my brow, and my pains were relieved. It was a punishment for me to get from the rack, because when the pain was all gone the angel was gone." Oh, rejoice evermore. You know how it is in the army?an army m encampment. It today news comes (hat our side has had defeat, and tomorrow another portion of the tidings coace3, 3aying we have had another defeat, it demoraf^ss all the host. But if the news comes of victory j today and victory tomorrow the whole ! army is impassioned for the contest. | Xow, in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus | Christ report fewer defeats. Tell us I the victories?victory over sin and death and hell, ltejoice evermore, and again I say rejoice. I believe there is more religion in a laugh than in a groan. Anybody can groan, but to laugh in the midst of banishment and persecution and indescribable trial, that required a David a Daniel, a Paul, a modern heroine. The next laughter mentioned in the Bible that I shall speak of is the fool's laughter or the expression of sinful merriment. Solomon was very quick at simile. When he makes a comparison, we all catch it. What is the laughter of a fool like? lie says, 'Tt is the crackling of thorns under a pot." The kettle is swung, a bunch of brambles is put under it, and the torch is applied to it, and there is a great noise, and a big bls^e, and a sputter, and a quick extinguishment. Theu it is darker lhau it was before. Fools' laughter. The most miserable thing on earth's a bad man's fun. There they are?10 men in a barroom, they have at home wives, mothers, daughters. The impure jest starts atone corner of the barroom, and crackle, crackle, crackle, it goes ail around. In 500 such guffaws there is uot one item of happiness. They all eel bemeaned, it they have any conscience left. Have nothing to do with men or women who tell immoral stories. Ihaee no conlldence either in their Christian character or morality. So all menmeot that springs out of the defects of others?caricature of a lame foot, or a curved spine, or a blind eye, or a deaf ear?will be met with the judgments of God either upon you or upon your children. Twenty years ago I knew a man who was particularly skillful in imitating the lameness of a neighbor. Not long ago a son of the skillful mimic had his leg amputated for the very defect which his father had mimicked year3 before. 1 do not say it was a judgment of God. I leave you to make your ovrn inference. So all merriment oorn of dissipation, that wh.ch starts at the counter of the drinking restaurant or from the wineglass in the home circle, the maudlin simper, the meaningless joke, the satur nalian gibberish, the paroxysm 01 mirth about nothing which you sometimes oee ia the fashionable clubroom or the exquisite parlor at 12 o'clock at night, are the crackling of thorns under a pot. Such laughter and such sin end in death. When 1 was a lad a book came out entitled "Dow Junior's Patent Sermons." It made a great stir?a very wide laugh?all over the country, that book did. It was a caricature of- the Christian ministry, and of the word of riftfl onr? r\f /lar? r.f inr?<rmari+ OS UUUf C4LAV4 vuv V4C*J[ Vi j ^ V/Ut? v?*^ we had a great laugh. The commentary on the whole thing is that the author of that book died In poverty, shame debauchery, kicked out of society and cursed of Almighty God. The laughter of such men is the echo of their own damnation. The next laughter that I shall mention as being in the Bible is the laugh of God's condemnation, 'Tie that sitteih in the heavens shall laugh." Again "The Lord will laugh at him." Agaiu, "I will laugh at his calamity." With such demonstration will God greet every kind of great sin and wickeduess. But men build up villanies higher and higher Good men almost pity God because he is schemed against by men. Suddenly a pin drops out of the machinery of wickedness, or a secret is revealed, and the foundation be gins to rock. Finally ihe whole thing ! is demolished. What ia the matter? I will tell you what the matter is. That crash of ruin is only the reverberation of God's laughter. lit the money market there are a great mmmaaeBiammm^^xaaaaiim Tr ?ease??a? many good meo and a great meny traudu lent men. A fraudulent man there says, "I mean to haT~ my million." He. goc3 to worK reckless of honesty, and he gefs his lirst $100,000. lie gets after awhile his $200,000. After awhile he gets Ins $500,000. "Now," he says, "I have only one more move to make, and I shall have my million." lie gathers up all his resources, lie makes that one last grand move, he tails and loses all, and he has not enough money of his own left to piv the cost of the car to his home. I People eiunot understand mis gpasuiumu I revuision. Some sa;d it was a sudden turn in Krie railway stock, or :n Western Union, or in Illinois Central. Some sah! one thin? anal some another. They a!! guessed wrong. I will tell you what it was, ,lHe that siiteth in the heavens laughed." A man in New York said he would he the richest man in the eitv. He leit his honest work as a mechanic and got into the city councils some way and 111 10 years stole $15,000 000 from the cilv government. Fit teen million dollars! He had the legislature of the slate of New York in the grip of his right hand. Suspicions were aroused. The grand jury presented indictments. The whole land stood aghast. The man who expected to put half the city in his vest pocket goes to Black well's island, goes to Ludlow Street jail, breaks prison and goes across the sea, is reanested and brought back and again remanded to jail. Why? "lie that sitlelh in the heavens laughed." Home was a great empire; she had Horace and Virgil among her poets; she had Augus us and (Jonsfantine among her emperors. But what mean the defaced Pantheon, and the Forum truncu into a cattle market, and the broken vralled Coliseum, and the architectural skelton of her great aqueducts? What was that thunder? "Ob!" you say, "that was the roar ol the battering rams against her walls." No. What*was that quive:? ' Oh!" you say, "that was the tramp of hostile legions." jso. The quiver and the roar were the outburst of omnipotent laughter from the defied and insulted heavens. Home detled God, and he laughed her. down. Thobcs defied God. and he laughed her down. Nineveh defied God, and he laughed her down. Babylon defied God, and he laughed her down. There is a great difference between God's laugh and hi3 smile. His smile is eternal beatitude. He soiled when -David sang, and Miriam clapped the cymbals, and llaunah made garments tor her sou, Paul preached, and John kindled with apocalyptic vision, and when any man has anything to do and doe3 it well. His smile! Why, it is the 15th, of May, the apple orchads in full bloom; it is morning breaking on a rippling sea; it is heaven at high noon, all the bells beating the marriage peal. But his laughter?may it never fall on u?! It is a condemnation for our sin; it is a wasting away. We may let the satirist laugh at u?, aud all our companions may laugh at us, and ws may be made the target for the merriment of earth and hell, but God forbid that we sould ever come to the fulfillment ol the prophesy against the rejectors of the truth, "I will laugh at your calamity." But, mv friends, all of us who reject Christ and the pardon of the gospel must come UDder tbat'tremendous bombardment. God wants us all to repent. He counsels, he coaxe3, he importunes, and he dies for us. He comes down out of heaven. He puts all the world's sin on one shoulder, he puts all world's sorrow od the other shoulder, and then with that Alp on one side and that Himalaya on the other he starts up the hill back of Jerusalem to achieve our salvatipn. lie puts the palm of his right foot on one long spike, and he puts the palm of his leit foot on another long spike, and then, with his hands spotted with his own blood Ho orp<afimijitfvn savins: "Look. look and live! With the crimson veil of my sacrifice I will cover up all your sins. With my dying groan I will swallow up all your groans. Look! Live!" But a thousand of you turn your back on that and then this voice of invitation turns to a tone divinly ominous, that sobs like a simoom through the first chapter of Proverbs: "Uecause I hive called and ye refused, 1 have stretched out rav right hand and no man reegarded, but ye have set at naught all my counsel and would none of my reproof, 1 also will ladgh at yoor calamity." Oh, what a laugh that is?a deep laugh, a long, reverberating laugh; au overwhelming laugh; God grant we may never hear it. But in this day of merciful visitation yield your heart to Christ that you may spend all your life un earth under his smile and escape forever the thunder of the laugh of God'3 indignation. The other laughter mentioned in trie Bible?the only one 1 shall speak of? Vienvat.'j lon.iliicr or (!if ovnrpssjiriri li? litavcil O if*U^UWV>i^ VI v??|/i.vwv?r? of eternal triumph. Christ said to his disciples, "Blessed are ye that weep uow, for ye shall laugh." That makes me know positively thai we are not to spend our days in heaven singing long meter psalms. The fornialislic aud still* notions of heaven that some people have would make me miserable. 1 am glad to know that tho heaven of the Bible is not only a place of holy worship, but of magnificent sociality. "What," sav you, "will the ringing laugh go around the circle, of the saved?" 1 say yes, pure laughter, cheering laughter, holy laughter. It will be a laugh of congratulation. Wheu we meet a . friend who ha3 suddenly come to a for, luue or who has got over some dire sickness, do we not shake hands, do we not laugh with him? And when we get to heaven and see our friends there, aome cf them having come up out of great tribulation, why, we will say to one of 1 them, "The last time I saw you you had been sufiering tor six weeks under a a low intermittent fever," or to another we will say: "You for 10 years were limping with the rheumatism, and you were full of complaints when we saw you last. I congratulate you on this eternal recovery. We shall laugh. Yes, wc shall congratulate all these who have come cut of great financial embarrassments in this world because they have become millionaires in Heaven, l e snail iaugn. It shall be a laugh of reassoclation. It Is just as natural for us to laugh when we meet a friend we have not seen for 10 years as anytkiDg is possible to be natural. When we meet cur friends from whom we have been parted 10 or 20 or 30 years, will it not be with infinite congratulation? (Jar perception quickened, our knowledge improved, we will know each other at a hash. We will have to talk over all that has happened since we have been separated, the one that ha3 been 10 years in heaven telling U3 all that has happened in the 10 years of his heavenly residence, and we telling him in return all that has happened during the 10 years of his absence irom poH'n Vp fthnll lnnc/h 1 think George Whitelield and John Wesley will have a iaugh ol contempt for their earthly collisions, and Toplady ami Charles Wesley will have a iaugh of contempt lor their earthly misunderstandings, and the two farmers, who were in the lawsuit all their days, will have a laugh of contempt over their earthly disturbance about a line fence. Exemption from all annovance. Immersion in all gladness. Ye shall laugh. Christ says so. Ye shall laugh. Yes, it will be a laugh of liiumph. Oh! what a pleasant tiling it will he to stand on the wall of heaven, and look down at satau and hurl at him dttunce, and see him caged and chained, and we forever free !rom his clutches. Aha! Yes, it wil he a laugh of royal greeting. 1 You know how the Frenchmen cheered when Napoleon came I-nek from Elba. ] Von know f 10vv the English cheered when Wellington came back from Waterloo. You know how Americans cheered when Kossuth arrived from Hungary. Yen remember how Home cheered when Horn;*ev come baik victor over 900 citie.. Every cheer was a laugh. But, oli, the mightie- greeting, the gladder greeting, -hen the snow white cavalry troop of heaven shall go through the streets, and, according to the book ofBevelation, Christ, in the redcoat, lite crimson coal, on a white horse, and all the armies of heaven following on white horses! Oil, when we see and hear that cavalcade, we snail cheer, we shall laugh. Does not your heart brat quickly at the thou:hi o! great jubilee upon which we are scon to enter? I pray Cod that when we get through with this world and are going out of it we may have some such vision as the dying Christian had when he saw written all j over the clouds io the sky the letter j "'AY' and they asked, standing, by his side, what he thought that letter "w mean... * U:i." ne sain, "mat 8lands lor welcome."

Washington", -inly 18.?The Democratic conferees on the tariff bill held a brief session today, and adjourned before 12 o'clock. They made another effort to reach an agreement, but it proved ineffectual. The meeting adjourned with the understanding that a full conference of the committee, to begin at 2 o'clock, would report a disagreement. The report will be made to the House, but probably not before tomorrow. The Republican members will make no opposition to this course. The conferees met again at 2 o'clock. Within a very few minutes afterwards Voorhee3 announced that it was apparent that the two houses were unable to agree, and it had been decided to report a general disagreement. The .Senate Republicans stood up for the Senate bill, as did the Democrats, while the House held out for their bill; and it was formally decided that the disagreement should be reported to their respective houses. .Before this was done Wilson, chairman of the committee on ways and means, stated that if they could get together on coal, iron ore and sugar, he believed they could lix up an agreement that would be satisfactory to both houses. No proposition looking tc this end was made, and the action already indicated was taken. The whole thine: was over in a very few minutes. Wilson stated after the conference that he would make the report to the House tomorrow morning. Drrring the formal discussion in the committee room he was asked by Senator Jones how long the House would probably keep the bill, whereupon Wilson replied that he thought the conferees would be instructed to insist upon the House bill, and the conferees would be sent back within two hours. The same question was then put to Senator Jones, and he said that the action of the Senate would depend upon the action of the House. If the House insisted upon heaping coals of lire on the heads of the Senate, conferees and assailing them it would be very likeiy that the Senate, when the bill came back, would in like manner debate the bill. It Is beiieved, however, that the bill will be again in confererce by Sat uruay at tne latest. Although the report shows a general disagreement on all items this is not technically correct, for the reason that agreements have been made in many item?, but it was deemed best not to include them until a conclusion had been reached on the whole bill. Wilson says the report of the conferees will be a verbal one and will simply state that the conference cjmmittet-, of the two houses has failed to reach an agreement. The committee on rules will probably meet tomorrow and report a special order limiting the time during which the debate upon the report may continue. Speaker Crisp could not say today how long the debate on the conference report tomorrow would be permited to^continue in the house but it is un derstood that it will be limited to two hours, one hour on each side. Wilson will occupy a part if not all the time oat ?>ii9rf. far the Dprnnrrat?! if he is physicaly able to speak, and Reed and Burrows will probably be spokesmen for the liepubiicans. .Senator Jones, of Arkansas, after an ineffectual meeting of the Democratic tariif conferees this morning, drove staignttothe White House and had over an hour's conference with Treisdent Cleveland. It is said he- reported to the President that all movements looking to concession by the Senate to the House conferees bad been blocked by the imluence of Senator Gorman of Maryland, representing a groop of socailed conservative Senators. It is also said that Senator Jones informed the 1'resident that this announcement would probably be made to the House tomorrow, on the part of the House courerees, it being the intention of the House conferees to let the country know where the responsibility for failure to agree rested.

At fine Time a Riot v.as In Sight. 0 Hdgei ikt.p.S. 0., July 11).?The same c Providence which has before prevent- s ed the shedding of fclood at campaign meetings in this State interposed again j today. With eyes glaring like tigers t with hands on pistols and with open dirks and knives ready for deadly exe- e cution, it lacked only one overt act, r. only one blow, to have precipitated a c battle which would have left a hundred dead and wounded men on the platform c and grounds of Academy drove. Inno- \ cent, women and children would have t suffered and the consequences would f have been horrible. 1 have seen trouble in crowds before I 1 have seen the eyes of men dance and 1 the muscles quiver. 1 have seen the r hand go to the pistol pocket, the glim- r uier of the bright weapon and the smoke clear away alter the trigger was pulled, but 1 have never seen wild- v er or more ferocious expressions in the c eyes of human beings than was exhibited here today. 1 looked at any mo- t ment to see a shot fired and to see the fray commence. The scene of the trouble was on the 1 speaker's stand. Right here it is well i to remark that the lives of every pub- . lie man are endangered by permitting * anybody on the stand but those enti- " tied to be there. With a packed stand and every man possessing a pistol few . bullets will go astray. At the first in tlmation of trouble desperate men crowd on the stand to be in the heat of the fray. If everybody was forced , to stay on the ground the danger , would* not be so great. In case of a , row there would be room and opportunity for innocent people to get out of harm's way. m ^ ... .1 ; 4-v,^. f XLiC IUW C'UUUIICU JU5L UC1LUC LUC closing of the meeting and during .Senator Butler's speech, it was precipitated by the uncalled for remark of a man to Senator Butler. It would have come, however, with almost anything or any remark. It was in the air, and nothing was needed to cause the explosion. Senator Butler did not intend it, but if he had not lost his temper to some extent the trouble might not have been so intense. The veteran of battles and bullets let passion get the better of him for a few minutes. He not only called a man a liar who had insulted him, but repeated it two or three times. He had become exasperated by the cheering for Tillman ana was in a mood to vent his anger on any man. The crowd numbered 1,200 people and was made up of the most peaceble and the most desperate men in Ejgeheld County. Governor Tillman had the majority of the crowd by several hundred. although Butler supporters were to be seen in all directions. As the interest to the public will centre in the speeches of the Senatorial candidates r and in the trouble which was the but- I growth ot those speeches, I will only t give them. 1 will simply give the facts and let the public make up its mind as t it sees lit. During the speeches Governor Till- ? man sat toward the b.Tk of the stand, I talking with friends and listening to 2 the candidates. lie has changed his f white helmet to a dingy yellow one of 2 the same style. Senator Jlutler sat ? near the front of the stand. He wore the old straw hat which has crowned 1 his head from the lirst day at itock I Hill until now. In his rigiit hand he 1 held the long walking cane which some friends gave him and which he 1 cherishes. ttii.b OYKR TILLMAN. Governor Tillman was greeted when s he advanced to the front withatu- ( mult of applause, wild cheering and a * waviDg of hats. His partisans ro:se to 1 their leet, and jumped in the air and yelled. 1 1 have known Governor Tillman for c years and have reported many a * speech of his, but 1 never saw a tear in -c his eye until today, it came when he opened his speech by saying that his heart wjiq filled with cratitiidfi to the < people of Edgelield, to home people, j( those who had stood by him on every 11 occasion. lie talked of his previous campaigns and what he has done for 1 the people. Voice: "IIoa' Is it that taxes are * higher?" 1 Tillman: "They are not and you ( know it." 1 (Governor Tillman said that the peo- 1 pie are divided, but it was through no 1 fault of his. He said that iiutier now * spoke of the antis and the uncles. lie told how the uncles had been imposed on for years until they rebelled. Ihit ler is hustling to get the votes of the 1 uncles, but will not get them, if ever 1 a man tried to ride two horses my 1 friend, the General, is that man. He | has lost the love and respect of the i men who supported Sheppard. but they ' are goiug to support hiia because they I hate me. One of the produest days cf his life, Governor Tillrnas said, was when the Edgelield Hides came to his assistance u ring the Darlington trouble and were followed on the next train bvthe Edgeiield Ilussars. Irrespective of political fuolinrr Mio nru?n of I'dfrllplri UTf*rP SOl- 1 v">- ? ?? -'-ft I diers. 1 A literal volcano of applause fol- < lowed the Governor's remarks on this < subject. Mr. Tindai advises, said Governor Tillman, that the uncle3 allow the an- 1 lis to come back into the family. I i don't object if they are penitent and 1 honest, aud if they no longer claim to i be the best people on earth. For God's 1 sake let's have peace if these people I really want it." i The Governor turned lii3 attention < to national politics and said that a shaking up of the antis is needed in ] Washington. (Laughter and applause.) < Taking a silver dollar from his pocket, ] Governor Tillman said: ''The Xews j and Courier and those other little lice i dogs say this is a dishonest dollar." J foice: "Hand it over here; I will i take it." About fifteen minutes was given to national affairs and Governor Tillman i ended his speech by saying to Jlutltr: 1 "I want to notify you that unless you t withdraw your accusation that I ran i at Hamburg I am prepared to prove ( that the men who make that charge are liars." The Governor said this in i the most dramatic manner imaginable and set down amid a whirlwind of ap- y piause, and a waving of hats which was almost blinding. \ Senator Hutler who was sitting in ' his chair, turned to Tillman and hand- ( ed him the certificate which appears i elsewhere. ' Tillman told him to read it when his 1 time came and he (Tillman) would read \ the one he had. 1 Four or five beautiful bouquets were 1 handed Governor Tillman. 1SUTLEU'S INTRODUCTION. Jbitier was received wiia siruug npplause. He said that there was appre- i hension all over the State that the men l of Edgelield would get the devil in them } today but he believed there would r be good order. With pathos in his t words, Eutler said he was glad to see 1 so many of the fair daughters of Edge- r Held present. { J hitler made a fervent appeal for c peace and for the cessation of bickering t and strife. t (leneral Hutler said that he endorsed \ the noble sentiments of Mr. Tindal. I He endorsed every word and believed i that Tindal's advice could be accepted ,v by every man of every faction. s Tillman, (leneral JIutler said, accused e him ol ridding two horses. If he (Jbit- f ler) was any judge Tillman is riding c four. i: Tillman: "Jiut keeping in the mid- 'J die of the road." v Eutler; "Yes. but allow yourself A ly of margin on each side." "How much sugar has lie put in yor.r fourd?" asked Cutler of the audience. ( Voice: "How much have you put in here during eighteen years in the Senate?" (Counter cheers and Bp?iause.) .Cutler- "oust Keep quiet now. I ^ ;novv I am bitting you in sore places I iut you must take it." J Cutler jumped on Tillman harder (j han ho has tor dajs and accused him if being stingy and penurious. He harged Tillman with not paying his :i Vior>ri rst i at) 1 a :j 1 ? e.f arm rvjnnr I The yells and applause for Tillman ^ >artially drowned Sutler's voice and ho noise was terrific. When it was over JluUer said that ^ verv time he hit Tillman the (lover- c; tor's supporters wince and try to drown c mt his voice by cheering. . 1 hitler said that ho had been riding mly one horse since 18T?? and that horse 1 vas the deliverance of the people, ile a old what he had done in 187*1 and of 1 lis participation in the Hamburg riot. While speaking of the Hamburg liot l.Townes asked JJulter if his (Hut- ; er's) house had not been burned by i legroes because he took part in the c iot. "Ves," answed Hutler. j J. O. Atkinson, a Tillrnanite, who j vas standing on the stand to the right w if Hutler, said: t 'Ves, but you denied it in Washing- ? on." t Hutler turned like a panther and (pick t is lightening said: "That is a lie; an t nfernai lie." If he had stopped at this r here might not have been any trouble f it that time, but ho repeated what, he 1 aid two or three times. e Men began to surge toward the stand ] vhile Hutler continued his denunciaion. In an instant Charles Hammond t umped upon the stand, followed by II. s I. Townes, each with his hand resting ? >n the butt of a pistol in his hip ponket. t was then that the desperate men of 'j joth sides jumped upon the stand and c hose cf less courage moved off. 1 Hammond and Townes got behind i hitler, and Tillman's friends crowded t iround mm. I he antagonists began to \ plare at each other and to talk in strong I anguage to each other. Pistols were t :hanged from one pocket another to be r :onvenient for quick use. v It was a squally time. The excite- i nent is beyond discription. Atkinson did not move one inch r rom where he had been standing. lie p var, surrounded by excited men. t General Butler quickly removed his s vits and worked masterfully to check a he riot which seemed imminant. Till- p nan aid likewise. Each appeared to L nen of both sides to stop jowering. r fhey begged these trying to get on the t itand to stay oil and those who were al i: eady on to "get off. a Among some of the men toying with v heir pistols were several known to p lave been in thrilling affrays and noted c or coolness. i The uproar continued for what ap- t leared to be tin minutes. During this 1 ime the hundreds of men who had re- c nained on the stand had gotten ready i 'or action. I I know ic to a feet that almost every e nan had singled out a target for his t )isto and merely awaited the signal J o turn loose. The excitement gradually subsided, J >ut was really opposed. Puller resumed his speech to try to s ret the addience back in its former dis- r iosition. lie gradually gre v salty again ind there was another outbreak of 1 sheering tor Tillman. Jiutler got mad ? igain and said there was an attempt tp 2 Irown his voice with their braying. ( 'Any common jackass," he said vehe- i neatly, "may bray, but 1 do not pro>cse to he stopped in free speech by a s ot af blatant jackasses. I can not bef rightened. 1 have seen too much o c eal danger to be intimidated. * "Governor Tillman says L am not in ,his race. lie says he will beat me. 1 lay if he will leave out his rings and jive me a separate box 1 will beat him ;hree to one in Meriwether township, where both of us live." llutler charged Tillman with being a ing and caucus man and said it was ibarged that there is a ring controlling he Gubernatorial race. Tillman, he iaid, has not denied this charge. Turning to Tillman Butler exclaimed '1 dare you -1 dare von, sir, to give me i primary. You will never do it be;ause you are afraid. Even ring won't saye you." liutler attacked Tillman for his delimitation of Cleveland. Jiutler took from his pocket the certificate relating to Tillman at Hammrc Up <?airf that hp had not r*r>n<?id- * ?red it a master of much importance md had not intended to refer to it '.gain, but as Tillman had demanded It le would give it. The certificate is as followsTHAT CKRTM ICATK. "This is to certify that at II am berg, July, 1876, we, the undersigned, were present and that Mr. J>. It.

The Governor waited a few seconds ind walked to the front. His eyes were dashing. He read the following certificate refuting tiie charges of the ethers: "South Carolina?Aiken County. il Pa oil r\n nr\y*r> 'Phto i a + r\ i t t* r xu an c/uu-i ncu. i mo u ovt/?tu > i .hat on the night of the Hamburg riot, ' in 187b, we, the undersigned, were in i ihe town of Hamburg lrom the begin- t ling to the ending cf said riot, and t ;hat we know of our own knowledge i ihat H. 11.

"I have lever hesitated or expected to lind fault vith any criticism of requests for in ormation concerning any official act if mine, and 1 will cheerfully make inch reply to (Jen.

Sutler's lamentable ignorance of ,he linancial condition unler which he transaction was completed shows hat he i3n*t even lit to go to tht I^gisature. Georgia's State debt is much smaller ^ ;han ours, she is twice a3 large and ler assessed value is over ?425,000,000, vhile South Carolina is assessed at ?170,000,000, Georgia has a white ma ority ensuring a continuation of good jovernment, while we have 40,000 negro rotes in excess of the whites. This neans that under certain conditions which have at times appeared immilent there might be a struggle between :he white factions which would make ;he negro vote the arbiter that would nevitably bring a return of the condi:ion of affairs which caused .lohn I'at,erson to say there were live more years I )f good stealing in South Carolina, ieorgia owns the Western and Atlan;ic railroad worth ?0,000,000,and wliich ents for ?450,OOo, an asset nearly iouble her entire public debt so that my comparison of the linancial standng and credit of the t wo States is limply farcical. / I say it in no boasting spirit that we ;unsummated the Linest financial deal ;ver made by a "farmer and a clodhopn U af oa n r?

Such large blocks of bonds an't*be handled in any but strong s ouses and such men do not work for ; iOthing. I happen to Know, having a, eceived the information from a banker a Baltimore, that many of the weaker ;;; lembers of the syndicate lost money by iivson of the enormous interest they ad to pay for the currency to meet oeir obligations and take the bonds on me.
