the position of Superintendent of tho
United States Court House and Post
Ofllco in this city, lias boon supcrccded by
Mr. Wm. Porry, of Walhalla, luit anco a

Monday, tho 20th instant.
"This no doubt moans business, as bids
for the erection of the building arc being
advertised for now and will bo closed on
tho 12th of June. It is then expected
that work will begin and bp prosecuted
to completion with the energy character
izing Mr. Porry. This is gratifying to
our people.
"We have not learned the cause of Ml*.
Rutlcdgo's removal, as he is a mOt>t com

is conscientious in the pmietilous per

a candidate for Oovornor, ami will can

the OcOUOO Democracy two weeks hence,
.and- t<dl from the hustings his convic

tho hour.
Ho has bad considerable experience in
political ati'airs, having served several
terms in our Legislature, and was once
a mendier of Congress. His public ser

of chief executive of a great common
wealth.
lie was a gallant soldier in the late
war, and bears the evidence of his faith
fulness to bis country's cause in the
honorable scars upon his person. In
time of peace the discharge of public
duties has never found him wanting; and
tal; in;; the many earnest solicitations of
friends in every part of the State as the
voice Of one summoning him to duty, he
has consented to sland for the nomina
tion before (be Democratic Slate Conven
tion.
He is a farmer by occupation, and
makes bis llvilig from his farm. He is
said to lie one of the best farmers in I In
State, and is thoroughly allied with the
agricultural interests of our pooplo.

Unveiling the Lee .Monument.
T?0 ceremonies incident lo Ihe unveil
ing of the equestrian statue erected to
tho memory of (.'encrai l'oberi . Loe,
in Richmond, Ya., lasi Thursday, are
said to have excelled anything of the
kind ever seen in the South. It was
truly a memorable occasion. It would
be impossible for us to give in detail a
narrative of the day's proceedings, from
early morn till nightfall lite tap of the
drum and (he I ramp of old soldiers were
heard on all sides, reminding one of the
stirring days of 80 .
Whim (lie staine was unveiled Hut
crowd in (he vicinity was estimated at
140,000. Those who participated in Ihe
procession numbered 20,000. There were
70,00o strangers In the city during the
day.
Richmond, the old Confederato capital,
didthe right thing, at Die right lime,
and in the right way on that groat day.
One of Ihe most striking banners dis
played bou this inscription: "Leo, the
chieftain, peacefully sleeps; wo honor
his memory in living bronzo." Many
line pictures of Washington, its well its
of Leo, were observed Oil every hand,
While thousands of Hags wore wafted lo
the breeze. The national Hag was dis
played ill proportion < ( llfty to one of
the stars and bars. It was truly . (On
federato day, however, as Ilio pre .cuce of
many Confederate veteran camps and the
airs played by the bands pertaining to
the Lost Cause fully at tested, and this
was emphasized by many manifestations
of doligli I thai they brought forth troni
the crowds all along the line.
Colonel Arehor Anderson, the orator
of tho day, delivered a strong and well
timed address, setting forth in their trito
light the many distinguishing points in
the oliarne tor and career of the great
soldier, statesman, and patriot. Then
was not a syllable spoken which the
most unfriendly partisan could construe
Into disloyally lo the Union, and any
attempts solo misrepresent this grand
tribute to one of the noblest of Ameri
cans, would only betray Ihe hopeless
malignity of him who makes Ihe accusa
tion.
Onco grant that the people of the
South wer?? willing to forgot I.ce and his
Stooping comrades and verily they would
deserve the. dire fate that their enemies
wish for them. It is possible, yea
more, it is our duly to honor our dead,
to perpetuate their inemoi v. and yet be
loyal to the Constitution and the Union.
TIlO war was born of a COI)Diet of ideas,
and the great constitutional question
then and there submitted to the arbitra
mont of the sword, whose decision was
rendered in accorti with all that per
tained to high and honorable warfare, it
is ours to accept the mandates of (he
decree in good failli to Ihe same degree
that wo would have demanded of our
foes had WO been the victors. And
despite the angry blallngs of malignant
politicians, the time will come when the
North and the South will he as solidly
united as are the Englishmen of to-day,
whose fathers fought each other to the
death in tho wars of Cromwell. In (In
coming years the people of all sections
of OUI'groat conati y will join each other in
doing common honor to the memory of
those who WOl'0 the blue and the gray.
Peace bath her victories, anil (lie pelt)
passions of the hour will surely perish.
When this comes to pass, tho mimo of
Loo and Grant will bo honored and chor-1
iehed by ovory truo American.
Thon In tho inspiring words of tho
gifted orator on this memorable occasion,
wo say: "Lot this monument toacli to
generations yot unborn tho lessons of his
lifo. IiOt .it stand, not ne a record of
civil strife, but as ? porpotuul protest
against whatevor is low and sordid in
our private and public object*. Let it
stand ag u momorinl of personal honor
that novor brooked a stain; of knightly
honor, without thought of self; of far
reaching military genius, unsoilcd by
ambition ; of horoio constancy, from
which no cloud of misfortune could ever
hide the path of duty. Lot it stand for
reproof end censure, if our people aitali
ever sink below tho standards of our
fathers. Lot it stand for patriotic hopo
and cheer, if u day of national gloom
and disaster shall ever dawn upen our
country. Lot it stand as the embodi
ment of a brave and virtuous people's
ideal leader. Lot it stand as a great pub
lic act of thanksgiving and praise that it
pleased Almighty (iod to bestow upon
those Southern States a man ? formed to
rcllcct his attributes of power, majesty
and goodness."

Til?n.iiileiii to tho Front?
iiY . it. . .
Thoro is evidently no eubjcot of
to-day tu South Carolina ? niuoli
dismissed on tho hustings and
through the press ne tho Farmers'
Movement alias Ttllmnnism. Why
ha? this movement, headed by Till
nian, aroused so much determined
opposition by tho heretofore loaders
of tho Democratic Party? it has
been defined by its opponents to bo
an indopoildpnt movement" and as
un "unusual and unfortunate move
ment outside the party," yet such
objections are unwarranted, because
no ono of its advocates has been
shown to be disloyal to tho party, or
declared his unwillingness to abido
by the arbitrament of tho Demo
cratic Flirty* fairiy expressed through
its regular ehannol. ?t
There are nono who realize moro
sensibly the necessity of preserving
intact, at this juncture, tho suprema
cy of our party than tho supporters
of this movement. This is a light
for self-government upon an eco
nomical basis, within tho party?all
principles, measures and men con
stituting the issues of the day?will
be at the September Convention de
cided satisfactorily, and tho grand
old Democratic Party go forth from
the deliberations ol that Conven
tion united, ptll'if?od und invigorated
with new life to defeat its old ene
my, the Republican Party, in No
vember. I
The early call of the March Con
vention and its action in adopting a
platform, in appointing a leader to
go before the people in defense of
those principles, was such an unpre
cedented move of the farmer:; that
it has filled with dismay and conster
nation the ringsters and aristocratic
aspirants for ollice, that the bowl
since raised was reasonably to be ex
pected. This move, however, has
demonstrated the ability of the
masses to exercise forethought in
the affairs of government und com
mon sense in the selection of men
who are in sympathy with their
views and wishes, that the wiry poli
tician will be practically shelved in
the political contest of the present.
Is the charge that the movement
thus inaugurated, as unfortunate.,
true? No, not even ?loes it threaten
the disintegration of tho party.
We fail to s?'e anything in it at va
riance with the spirit ?>f Democracy.
Wo hold that the discussion of
principles and measures as this is,
strictly within ranks, a right of first
importance among any people who
are intrusted with self-government.
Tho neglect in the past to have as
pirants for official honors conic be
fore the people and the discournge
mont by the press <d" any who at
tempimi it, with theory "you'll split
the party," is, in our opinion, the
fruitful cause of the present agitated
and disquieted condition of the
country. The obnoxious results of
this gag law is apparent in tho pres
ent Stato oflioinls, who are, as a
class, advocates of extravagant ap
propriations, believe in high sala
ries, Arc, and the conduct of the
Stat?* Government on a scale not in
keeping with the ability to pay of
the people in their present impover
ished condition. The reform of such
an abuse of power is the nini of the
Farmers' Movoniont and advocated
by its loaders, Tillmnn, Shell and
others, which appeals to the sense of
right und fairness tt> every voter in
the State. It is now in the power
if lim people t?i forever smash ring
rule ii. South Carolina, if thoy but
make use of tho means this move
ment has placed within their power.
The success of a Tillmnn State
ticket will not give the reform so
much demanded. That must conic
h rough the Legislativo ami not the
IC.vocativo Branch of the Govern
ment. This being true, the nomma
it ion and election of members t?>
lu- Legislature, plodgcd t?> sustain
Lhc platform adopted by tho March
Convention, now becomes the <luty
if all the farmers in every county of
the Slat*', Remember that tin; Leg
islature is the supreme law-making ;
in? 1 un making power in the State;
hat from this source alone are w?'
0 expect a full enjoyment of the
Hessings of an economical govern
ment. To secure the oloeluni of
d might-out men, pledged to use
(very means in tho interest of re
form at this juncture, should be
lenrer than any personal desire for
flico to every one committed to
his reform. The adoption of nome i
onccrlcd plan of action by the
'armors and their sympathizers we
ronceivo to !>?? the duty <d" the hour.
Lot some plan that will be satisfac
ory to all who desire legislative '
lonors, and at the same time insure
inrmony among tho people, ho
adopted. If such policy is not pur- ,
mod there will be division, disrup
tion and failure of the movement in
1 leoneo ( Omit v.
Thcivl'ore, to guard against divi
sion and insure success, wo would
Ullggcst that delegates elected by
the sub-Alliances to tho County
Alliance Convention bo instructed
by their sub-Alliances as to who
would represent their choice for the
Legislature, and when met in con
vention ther?' determine by secret
ballot the election of t wo men repre
senting the choice of the Order.
Should Ibis plan meet with objec
tions by politic members, as uncon
stitutional, this objection can be
obviated by the adjournment ?d* this
body, after the regular business of
the Alliance has been transacted,
and an organization of these saine
delegates into a County banners'
.Movement Convention, for the pur
pose of suggesting two men for the
Legislature to the voters of Oeoneo
county in the primary election, who
an; ill full sympathy with our wishes.
There is not much lime t<? lose, if ?
unanimity of action is desired. Some
plan <d' action should 1??? inaugurated
m the county that will make the
uuiteil Strength of the farmers felt
in this line. If 'either ?>f the pro
posed plane sot forth h?rowith moot
tho concurrence of the Executive
Committee of the County Alliance
or Farmers' Movement, wo would bo
pleased to hear from cither of them
on tho subject. If some satisfactory
plan of this kind is adopted, and wo
movo forward, as a band of brothors,
our object will be accomplished, and
ahead thero will be no such word as
fail, but viotory. Threo cheers for
tho "Blue-game"cock of Edgofield."
Stato relisions for Confederato
Soldiers.
Dolman, S. C, May 20th, lolR).?
Editohs of tiih Coukiku : Thero
was a piece written and printed ' by
the Columbia Jlvijistcv and rcquosted
to be copied by tho weekly and
daily papers of the State, with such
I comments as they deemed necessary
and proper to further the objeot, in
which tho article says for all the
disablod ex-Confederates to assem
ble, after due notice, at their res
pective county sites on the first
Monday in June, and offer certain
resolutions and make certain de
mands on those who are aspirants
for the Legislature, that they will
ask that the Stale will grant an
annual appropriation of ono hun
dred and iifty dollars to every cx
Confederate soldier of the State
who lost an arm or leg. 2d. That
it grant to each disabled soldier the
sum of one hundred dollars annually.
Now, Mr. Editor, wc think the
above suggestions are good, but
there being so few in the counties
who have lost an arm or leg they
are powerless to do anything within
themselves, miles* they could get
tho hearty co-operatiotl and sympa
thy of those who faced the shot and
shell and know something of the
hardships and privations these vete
rans had to endure, to unite with
them and demand their rights. Is
it possible that our people have be
come so dead to I he Lost Cause and
those, wdio fought and bled for it
that they will not unite with these
cripples and help them to secure
what we believe they arc justly en
titled to ? These old veterans have
said nothing through embarrass
ment, thinking that the Legislature
would do something for them; but
alas 1 they have been wofully disap
pointed. It is to be hoped that our
Legislature in the future will not
sleep over this mailer as they have
domi in the past. The past Legisla
ture did have appropriated a small
pension to a certain class, but there
is another class that they missed
that in many cases need it worse,
but from the simple fact that he or
his wife, one or both together, an* so
fortunate as to have the pitiful sum :
of *f>0l) he is not entitled to it.
Many of these cripples, one arm
and one-legged men, are following j
the plow and have daib to earn ?1
support for their families, and when
they lie down at night they can't
sleep with their wounded limbs from I
the fatigue of the day. Think of it,
you lovers of liberty 1 Think of it,
those of you who have sympathizing
hearts, will you let these heroes who
fought for our country drag out their
lives miserably here when you can I
prevent it ! Besides, you know it is
impossible for these men to educate <
their children. Of the rich class <
that lost their limbs I have nothing
to say. South Carolina boasts of
the courage of her sons; she boasts
of their patriotism. Was bhc not
first to lead us into the trouble?
Then why not sustain her cripples
who fought for it? We know that
the State claims to be too poor to
pension her soldiers. This may be
true, but sin? don't fail to appropri
ate money for everything else that
see needs, and some things she could
do without, in our opinion. South
Carolina boasts of her rapid and in
creased progress in number of rail
roads, phosphate business and manu- ?
factories. hVoni the present outlook'
within a few years these sources will
reduce our taxes as moderately as any
State in the Union. Then why not
grant these cripples a pension?
There are but few of them, probably
not more than one or t wo dozen to
county, who are not already re
ceiving pensions. The State loves
lo pay her debts. Then why not
pay these maimed soldiers? It is a
debt she owes them of twenty-live
years standing, and they are still
waiting patiently. Then lot our
State leave off sonic of her extrava
gance about the State House and
Columbia Canal and reduce the sala
ries of some officers, do away with
unnecessary clerks and guards and
all unnecessary o fil cos and give the
poor cripple soldiers, who fought and
mod for our country find lost their
limbs in defence of our liberties, a
pension, find then we will feel our
conscience clear. < .

Korrous Couiukh : I eoo Bomo of
the newspapers seem t?> think ?hcy
have found mare's uest in certain
questions wiiioh enumerators are re
quired to ask in the disohargo of
thoir duties in taking the census.
Those papers evon go so far as to
ndviso the people not to answer tho
questions on tho ground that they
aro "inquisitorial." Now this is nil
wrong, beeaiiMO tho law inflicts
heavy penalty on any citizen who
siiait refuse to answer nil tho ques
tions required to ho propounded by
tho enumerators. The newspaper or
person who would ad viso tho viola
tion of any law, would not ho a
person whose ml ico it would
ho safo to follow ; really such
advice has a flavor of anarchism.
But I see no reason for denouncing
as "odious" and "inquisitorial" the
questions referred to. I soo nothing
in tho questions but what any citi
zen or person might answer without
hesitation, even if some of the
questions should 1)0# considered a
little searching. They should be
answered unreservedly, for reasons
already given; and, furthermore,
each enumerator is sworn not to
communicato to any person outside
of? the ofllcials having a right to ro
ceivc the same, any information ob
tained in tho performance of his du
ties, and should he do so shall bo
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall bo severely
punished. The whole thing is a pri
vate transaction between tho Gov
ernment and the individual citizen.
No eye is ever allowed to sec the re
turns outside of the servants of tho
Government. When the returns
are completed, they are transmitted
to the Census Department where
they arc excluded from publie gaze;
only such matters being published in
grand totais as will be of interest to
the general public. No copies will
bo made and l?led in tho otllee of
the Clerk of the County for public in
spection, as was done ten years ago.
So it is to be hoped that when lite
enumerator comes along, as soon ho
will, every person whoso duty it
shall be to answer, will be prepared
to answer the questions promptly
and without hesitation or reservation,
their advisers to Ine contrary not
withstanding.
