Upon this request the young gentleman Sai
gets off one of his Munchausen squibs, and If

hands was the highest number Mr. Ilodger
over employed. mi
And i?ot long since this same reliable to
young journalist told the \\'?rhl lint there an
were only 10 anti-Tillmanitcs in Union ti>
County, when one gentleman alone counted
nearly L'tHi who he knew were opposed" to If<

The total voting population of Union is he
about -l.fKH). about equally divided between in
white and colored, or 2.10ft white voters, of
which more fbnn one-half live two in a foi

Why, Tom, if you contiuue ao careless in f>

(bank you for the following compliment, but ui
refer you to the present issue t?? pro\e that Ti
both side* do get full justice in the Tines IV
The Union Tunis published here is a good a
reliable paper, but the farmers say they n,
want a paper that will necord with their
views nnd give both sides their full justice.

For the Tiiut.H.
j Sensational Letter from Texas.
JSailkv, Tkxas, July iW.?There is something
strange about the carrying of the
mails, which to me is difficult to i xplaiii.?
For instil lice, the t'ni"ii Ti M i:> of Jimo Id.
reached me July I'th,af'cr ilie issue of June
| "20th, 27th, and July I'.ii had been received.
You, Mr. Kditor, no doubt, think and you
are correct too, that yo'i are having a
heated campaign in your State, and I presume
it to be the most spirited since 1S7S.?
At any rate it seems to one at this distance,
and it is natural for us to look ou in wonder
a nd w ith astonishment, at tlie'cour^e of the
people of lite beloved State of South tTtrulina.
What will such proceedings end in?
Will it result iu good and huppinc- for the
people, and redound to the gl >ry of the
Stste? Or will the result he dis.i.-ter io the
democrat e party ? These are the qtie-lioiis
that present themselves, at this time. It ^
does not seem that there is a just cui-o for
the present uproar and confusion in
the Stale. It appears to he the w< rk c f
demagogues and unscrupulous politicians
who secui to delight in arousing the passions
of the people, which is unwise an 1 dangerous.
It is hard to understand why the
people of the Smth. who have lived to.
gether so long in peace aud harmony, working
for one common purpose?the good of
all?and where it i> so absolutely necessary
for the white people to control the State
(iovcruiucnls, should at this hue date e >tnuiencc
to wrangle and quarrel with each
other, limn arraying themselves against the
good of the country.
The people of this great State are presented
to the world in the same category
that your people are divided upon a trivial
political question, au amendment to the
State t'onacitutioti, regulating railway tint".

party here is not so hazardous, because
the liotnocralic majority is so overwhelmingly
large that it cuunot easily- bo
defeated, even if antihet party should
undertake such a tiling.
There is however, no danger of a split in
the party here, notwithstanding the division
among democrats, for tiio Ainondincnt and
Itailway Commission elements arc largely in
the majority, and they have things all their
own way, and after the convention meets in
August and nominates lion. James 8. Hogg
for (Jovernor harmony will then prevail m
this State. Hogg is very unpipular with a
class of our citizens, and some accuse him
of being a demagogue of demagogues : but
he is stronger t ban till combined oyposi'ion
and, of course, will be the next (Jovcrnor
of Texas.
It is a fact beyond peril 1 venture that no
man in the State who has oll'crcd himself as
a candidate for otlice was ever as favorably
received as Mr. H"gg. He is endorsed by
the great majority of the people from the
center to the circumlorctice of the Sia'o: sj
much so, that it is now conceded by every
one that he w?M receive the nomination on
the first ballot, and perhaps by acclamation
iu the convention. He has held 111 * otlice
of Attorney Ueucral for four year.-, and ints
opposed the railroads of the State and other
corporations as strenuously and bitterly as
15. K. Tilhuan has abused the State ufiiccis%|
and certain St Ue Sunt ?rs in South Carolina.
hence his popu arity with the uneducated,
unthinking and tin reading peoj le of
the State as well as with a goodly uuiuhct
of the better informed citizen--. I>ur ng

from the State all bogus In-unnce Cumpauirs,
and brought about many othiriciorins

of tlie number of can Ii?lutc< IT the several
eiiiiuty nlVieors :
There is very much c >1111>1 lint- in tiiis
State as well as in ninny others, a- t-j the
incompleteness of the enumeration of the
| census. There i* a howl go!ng 1151 fiotii
nearly every town nl any si/.; in the State,
ami lint a shadow of a <I 1!. 1 exi-t- 21 >>itt

also a fact that a majority of the \V? stern
cities and towns are entirely ovcrc-iiniatcd
hy the people and press of sai I towns and
cities. I'or instance, the oily of Mollis
1 claimed early this year a j ?pul:iti? n of
I 'lo.iHitl ; the census shows |:t,iHin i.. |'?tii<)0.
The county seat of tirax 111, Sherman,
claimed 10.I.K.MI to ll.tsui; the cen-us shows
a population of about T.ltt't. and I' oiliatn,
this county s capital, has elani-d. alotil
o.U'mi for two years or more, and the census
put lioith .tu's | ojinlaiioii a' only ?
With uli the overestimate* there i- at the
same time a lack of thoroughm ** and
