Olivor Johnson, shows on its faco that it is a private lot ter, but it recalls tho days whou ho was a student, with mo, at tho Whito Rock Academy in Oconoo, and shows that ho, liko every ono olso who has ovor livod anion?; your Oconoo pooplo, cherishes their memory. Just hoforo leaving boro for South Union 1 wroto to my brother that I ox pocted to go down, tolling him of tho occasion, and jollied bim about not hav ing a place himself on tho program, say ing to him, in a laughing way, that evi dently tho South Union folks had not kept up with him-did not know that ho had preached to delighted audiences in metropolitan churches and hoon com mented on hy the daily press; that ho had declined pastorates in Pennsylvania and Massaohusottes ; had served a Chap lain ill Loth Houses of Congress, and only recontly had cloctrilled a largo as sembly at Chicago. With mock gravity, I wondered what the good of so much em thly glory was, he, an old student, having been overlooked in tho Soini-Con tennial exercises of tho South Union school. This raillery on my part will explain tho bantering air ho assumes in tho first part of his letter. He then re fers to tho closing exhibition of tho school twenty years ago when ho took part in a declamation contest and Henry Biomaun was down from Walhalla with a brass band.

C., and unpardonable in thom not to have invited him to bo with them at their Seini-Ccntonnial. Ho would have tickled them into convulsions half the timo and thrilled them into ecstacics tho other half. He would have made thom marvel that thc old school house there could over have held such a boy, and being a bachelor lie would have made some of tho young ladies around there wish thoy had boon educated through Vassar and on to Kuropo so they might stand a chanco of hoing courted ' him stud thus become thu educated mother of a distinguished progeny. 1 can hear now tho brass band playing near the bush arbor, and seo old man Seaborn and McWhortor and Will Pat Calhoun sitting a dignified committee to themselves, ?md boar Marshal Davis in his soft voice telling about tho Lauren tian hills being lifted up and that Ame rica is tho old world.

Tho tragedy was ono of tho most ro narkable in tho ldstory of tho city. ?0,000 pooplo, soldiers, policemen and nti/.oiiK, was gathered around tho square n which Charles was finally put to loath. Tremendous oxcitomout reigned n Now Orleans ns tho battle wont on bo .woon tho polico and citizons and the ?egro with his Winchostor.

About the mino timo with Charles tiring bia Win chester indiscriminately. Frank Bortucoi ocoived a shot in the loft shoulder and I. W. Bolll got a hot buhot in tho right laud. Ultimately it was concluded by those vim were handling Hie situation that ,he only way to get Charles at all was to nun tho building in which ho was on roached. There wore, howovor, some crupi?s about resorting to this method if getting him, owing to tho extremely hiukly populated section in which tho louse was situated. Novortholoss it was letermiuod that tho Oro department hon ld bo called out, in oidor to protect urrounding property, in case it should io resolved to hurd tho building. At tho moment of appartint indecision limo ono wont to a neighboring grocery, mi-chased a can of oil and, pouring lt ivor tho retir stops of tho building, np >lied a match and soon had the building n Hames. Ko fiercely did tho tire burn hat it became evident that no human teing could live in the building, and licked men from tho polico, special quads, momhors of tho soldiery sta loned themselves about tho building in irdor to pick off tho desperado as io attempted to leave tho house.

Aa s?en aa the negro foll, numbers of icoplo armed with winchesters and revol ?is rushed in and (ired into the body, 'liarlos was literally shot to pi?ces. After t was certain that lie was dead, a mob ntorod tho yard and dragged tho body tito tho stroot. Thore tho polico and the nob emptied their revolvers into it, w hile , son of ono of tho murdered men rushed ip and stamped tho face beyond rocogtil ion. Thoro woro thou loud howls that ho body sliou 1<1 ho taken to a vacant q tl aro iii the vicinity and publicly burned. it thia instance, however, a big squad f police dashed lip in a patrol wagon, 'hero woro thousands of pooplo eongro atod in tho vicinity and it seemed as if liere might bo a clash botwoon the olli ors and tho mob. Tho pol leo Boomed, lOWOVOr, to have rogained their courage, nd they promptly pushed tho orowd sido, picked up Hie body and threw it nto tho patrol wagon. Tho driver .hipped up hld horses and tho wagon tarted og with 5,1X0 pooplo running fter it, and clamoring for tho cremation ?f tho body of the dosporado. Tho /agon, however, was lleotor than the no?b and it ultimately mado Its way in ufo ty to polico headquarters, There un inmenso crowd had gathered and great (facility was experienced in Liking the orpso of tho negro from the wagon into ho morgue. When ('liarles' body was tripped it was found to have been lit rally lacerated from head to foot hy the ?idiots from the mob who had fired into t.

Contrary to expeditions, the night asSOll with little disorder. Thc prompt dion of tho mayor in distributing piada of men through the city and tin icfs that Charles is dead seems to have ad a good effect in quieting the popl? teo, Tho negroes aro appara?t! ly glad Huit, luirles is dead. This morning they ap eared in huger numbers than usual ?if io places where they aro employed. Mayor Capdovlollo, who is worn out y his long struggle, said to-day that he Knight it was unlikely that there would a any further violence.

Sonator Tillman claims tho credit of introducing the Declaration of Iudo Eeudouco in tho Democratic platform, ut it docs not conform to his speeches nor tho pinctico of the D?mocratie party in South Carolina. According to Till man's theory all white mon aro created free aud equal, but bo denies that Thomas Joiforson ovor intended that tho D?chir?t ion of Independence should bo appluul to tho colored mee. When thnt instrument was writtou, ho says, negroes wore chattels. They bad no moro recognition as human boings or a part Of tho body politic than thu cattle or horses upon tho plantations, and neither Thomas Jefforsou uor any other of tho fat hers, not even those from Now England, ovor dreamed that citizenship would sometime bo conferred upon thom. Thcroforo they wroto the Decla ration of Iudopoudouco for white people only, and it was not until aftor tho war that any ono ovor tried to make those in struments rover tho colored race. It was thou found necessary to attach what Mr. Tillman calls a "tail to tho kite" and finally a number of tails in order to secure majorities In tho South oin Statos for tho Ropublicau party. Tho only way this could bo dono was by giving tho ballot to tho nogro and tho constitution had to bo nmondod In order to do it. Mr. Tillman is vory frank in tho expression of his views on this sub ject, ns he is on all others, and when you acenso him of inconsistency ho de clares that tho Democratic platform was not meant for tho nogro race any more than tho Declaration of Independence.

The Chinoso Puzzle The situation in China is impossible of cloar understanding and probably will romain so until Europeans aro able to see foi themselves tho exact conditions in l'okin and to learn from creditable sources all that lias happened in thc capital during tho last six weeks. Rut during tho last wook certain geuoral out lines have appeared to tho situation which liavo given tho Woniora poople some idea of tho conditions prevailing. Tho principal development. COtlCOl'llS tho position of tho Chinese government ni tho crisis. lt lins been assidu ously sot forth hy Chin?se minis tors at tho various capitals of the Western world that tho upheaval in l'okin was made by . Miels and that the imperial go vern ra OU t, with full deidre to protect foroignors and having put forth all oll'orts to that end, was completely paralyzed. Thoroforo all tho responsi bility for tho disturbances was dis claimed for tho Chinese imperial govern ment. In this view the Western nations rightly hold that they had no causo of war with China, but only neall to rescue their own citizens ami als?? Ibo (.'hi?ese rulers from the rebels who surrounded them, lt was reported variously that the Km poro r and tho Km press Dowager had killed themselves or had boon killed, or had Hod from Pokiu and that Prince Tuan, tho rebel leader, had usurped tho government. The imperial family, it was said, was equally with tho foreign ministers at tho morey of tho mobs. AU these tilings have been shown to be un true and tho Chineso ministers at tho several capitals tiro now acting on an en tirely different lino ami aro pursuing a policy which commits their government to a grave responsibility, lt is now ac knowledged that tho Emperor and Bm pr088 Dowager are in full control of the situation, that they have tho foreign ministers under caro and finally that they are in friendly relations with Prince Tuan. Tho anti-foreign disturbances, whelhor those include tho massacre of tho ministors or not, thu Chinese govern ment is now not denouncing so vigor ously, but is seeking rather to excuse and palliate. As for tho fate of tho ministers, it is ?inpossible to judge, hut it is certain oitltCl that tho Chineso gov ern mont is trying to conceal for a time tho great crime of their massacre or (ilse that it is holding them in restraint. What is to bu concluded from this? Obviously that China is determined to employ au anti-foroign policy oithor by diplomacy or by force and is using every wile to gain time for preparation of ar gument or army. Tho Boxer uprising may not havo been incited or encouraged by the imperial authorities-though it probably was both-but it is to bo em ployed to every advantage now. The situation calls for very careful handling by tho Western nations.-Charleston Post. Proceedings of First District Union Meeting.

Tho estimates, it is claimed, are un biased, and forecast what thc correspon dents in the ninety-30VOU counties be lieve will he the actual result of the vote. The ligures show that the Republicans and Populists will probably carry twenty counties, while seventy-live will give Democratic majorities ranging from 100 | to 2,800. In a .summary of its forecasts, Tho Observer says: .'Among othoi tilings brought out by a study of tho specials from all over the State is the indication that the appeal of the Republicans and Populists cam paigners to tho white voters of tho mid dle and western sections of the State to go against Ibo amendment for fear it would disfranchise those of thom who cannot read has utterly failed. Tho only evidence of tho success of tho work on tho illiterate white voter is given ii few counties where the expectation is that Hie amenda.eut will run slightly behind tho Dome ratio state ticket.
