Tillman of his nomination at the candidate of the Farmers' Movement for Governor of S< n'li Carolina, curies a ray of bopo into many a darkened household in the State. In workshop and through hank and factory, at office drsk and out upon the br tad "fields of Southern enow," thousands of anxious men will hreathc easier v hen they read the gracious words of our new made Closer. When they learn that in the presence of the assoinhled representatives of the people he said speaking of a lnrgc and respectable class of h's new subjects : "Hot I rec< gttizc that they have rights. 1 have no enmities to gratify, ami do no*, expect to punish those who have opposed me politically." How magnanimous! How forgiving! How kind! It is true the icc 'gnition of our rights, is rather tardy, and out of keeping with the notion of his henchmen in these parte during the campaign. The declaration that ha l?Q? "no enmities to jflwliCy" is pecu liarly pleasing, hut the further deefn ratten . that he does "not expect to punish those who opposed"' him "poliiicnlly" is what Cromwell oallcd the "crowning ntercy." Since when the governors of Sonth Carolina-have been authorized to punish those who opposed them po'itically, 1 confess I ant Ijiivnuii, uui presume much (offer lias Mtn conferred upon our present nominee by the secret organiintion to which lie owes his nomination, and dates from the epoch so happily inaugurated by the September Convention. Tlus very uncertainty as to the extent or character of I lie punishment from which we arc freed, or wh'ch at least the Dictator does n?t expect to Inflict upon us, renders the amnesty so much the more agreeable and valuable.

JfciT It appears that the State ticket purporting to be put forth by the Republican 1 party, with Judge A. C. Haskell, nt the head, for Coventor, and nil the present democratic I State officers for the posi'ions they now occupy, oiiginated in the fertile brain of one C. C. Levy, the Republican candidate to oppose Hi 11. J.J. Hemphill for Congress in the oth Distrct. It stirred up sonic feeling am ng tho Tillmanites for a few days, Lut ti nt 1 as somewhat subsided. We have no idea that any such movement is contemplated, with the sncction or endorsement of any influential number of democrats. We, however, know there are many good and true men in the State, who eiiher refuse to swallow Tillman and hia coat tail followers, or will gulp him down as they would a dose of the most nauseating medicine, and we would not le surprised if they should make an "escape valve"' of such a movement to avoid voting the Tillmnn ticket. Judge Haskell, in a very able communi< cation to the Arte* and Courier, upon the I situation, thinks the "straightout" demo- * ernls ?hould put a State ticket in the field ; " and in noticing the ohjeciioos urged against resorting to the negro v?te to defeat Tillman he says: 1 Friends may raise a great outcry against any allusion to colored voters. 1 ask them is it without precedent ? I ask them and some if the most virulent to name the municipal 'lections, outside, perhaps, of Charleston tod Columbia, when this vote has not been sailed to the front. 1 ask for the returns on lie elections held to impose the bonde I c lebts for the construction of lailroads and Cl ither purposes dnrieg the Inst twelve years. These returns will show tbnt the Democrats * whose interests were at stake did not liesi* w ate to outvote the taxpayers by the aid of :olorcd voters. 1 would remind my friend T( rmni afar otf, the editor of the Atlanta f,'tjii*tihi(tnn, who has been a consistent Tillnnnite, tolcok at the scenes in his own ci'y, st when the force of his paper was divided si mil worked on both sides of the prohibition ^ (Uestion.

Duncan, that the people of Laurens, Greenr lle, Spartanburg, Fairfield, Kich'nnd and ivcn Union county, would hare endorsed t, and allowed Col. McKissick to run the ace without opposition? Don't we all know lint befure Shell came out there was at least me man in every county in the District ready to take the field in opposition to McKiss:ck, Smith and Mnuldin, and were only prevented by Shell's announcing hiuiself a randidatc ? Does any one suppose that the 18,000 votere of this Congressional District would have nt'ificd the agreement of four individuals llmtCul. McKissick, or any other man shuu'd l>c the only candidate to represent them in Uongro*s, n t upon any question of political principle, but merely upon sentimental feelings of personal regard entertained by those four gentlemen ? If Shell ?i\t in earnest, shy did he not make the proposition before the people tf the other counties, befors and after he spoke here, and not confine it to Col. McKissick's own County? No, no ; Capt. Shell did not expeot to give Col. VcKiseick the field. He knew, as well a t any man could know, who had pretty thoroughly canvassed the situation, that Duncan would not sign the proposition, because, nl that time, many thought that either Shell or himself would be nominated on the firrl ballot, and certainly he (Duncan) would stand an equal chance with Capt. Shell at the second primary. The other Candidates wtJTU 6UI TPfTTe contest, and could sign the paper with impunity. It was a fishy proposition any way, coming from one of the strongest candidates, asking the only candidate that was crowding him to leave the track and let the hindsotne horse take the prize. The proposition did not crcn bind those who signed it to support Col. McKissick, by vote or influence ; but, believing there would lie a second primary clectioo, aud that bet ween Duncan and Shell, it was nothing more nor less than a jjid for the McKissick vole in Union County, for Capt. O. W. Shell in the second primary election. We do rot think Col.

Correopoudeuce of tic UaU>aTltiief eurred ia the upper part of this B3 week, among some of the railroad conlractors end their employee* which resulted la the wounding of Zeb Dslioa for resisting arrest. The facts as we liave them briefly stated are as follows : Dslton who bad been in the empley of Kennedy 8t Buidsit, as foreman, c'aimed about $76 or,$80 for bis cervices, including u debt he got from Joho Kennedy, went to the coiumisssry of said firm without baring a settlement with litem and by threats anu with other "demons! rallama of outlawry ppoM?l?'t against the protest of the clerks id charge to take goods to satisfr his claims. This natu-elly led to the issuing of a warrant for his arrest which resulted in bis being shot for resis-iog. Mr. John Kennedy, who wn? implicated with Dalton in the outrage, had sold h?e oU'ni of stout $81 ou the Arm of Kennedy jt Burdett, to Da'Uin. This amount Da'ton also proceeded to settle in his own way, by taking goods from the commissary. Ho took the goods to a house rented from John Kennedy, where they, or most of them, were found and -ecosered. Mr. Kennedy wa3 prosecuted for complicity in the abominable t-anoc ion, bnt before the case was brought to a evtilBouioa the prosecutor withdrew the suit against Jobn Kennedy. In the mcantimo Dalfon, who was repo: ed badly wounded, was removed by bis friends and concealed or taken off out of reach end has not yet been found. J. C. Jeffcries, Esq.. of Gaffncy City, represented Mr. John Kennedy bofo-e J. L. Strain, T. J., as just recited.

For more then four-fifhs of a century the dust of th'a great and g>od man lias been > laying in tho church yard nt ?Imt place comjnrativcly ib.gottju, and it is eminently proper that our people should take such acton as mil porpctua'e Irs memory and hand it down as a souvenir to nuborn generations. Some of the greatest men and nun !b of our State owe their grevness to the torching of Rev. Joseph Alexander, 1>. D.; among whom we might mention Chancellor Johnson. It is nothing hut right that ejeiy Sabbath School in Union county as wolffis every loyal citizen ehou'd forward to Rev. R. P. Smith, at Bullocks Creek, York Co., 8.

In 1882 Dr. Mendor removed lo Ihe Town of Union and began the practice ofdontis'ry, in which profession lie was fa?t climbing to the first rank.

G. W- 8hell, or hie supporters, which is misleading not only to the honest and V'-miaeed fa~ ultra of the dielrict, but also to those of other avocations. This c:rcul?r sa not pot out over the eigoatureof C.vpt Shell, for he could not consistently as a f*i- man as-umc responsibility or it in the l'gbt of the following facts : f First. On ths 8th of Sept ?mbe-, 1890, the Do nocra.ic Convention ofSpartnburg County tut, to e cet delegates to the Democrnio * c State C >nven.ion of Septembor 10. At this County Convonti n Capt Shell was present. A resolution was oCercd in subs.'ance resolving thst no one be supported for Congress who represented banking institutions or railroad corporations. While this resolui lion was being discussed I was sent for by n prominent farmer, a member of the Convention. with the request that I appear before the Convention and speak in reference to the resolution, which was believed to be aimod at mr candidac. I availed myself of the opportunity offered, ? and, addressing tha uid ihaS . I did not represent any banking institution; as an atloTney or s'.ockho'der. I stated thst I was employed by one of the railroad corporations as its attorney in suits at law; but that if I should bo nominated Congress I would undor no oiroumstanoes _ represent any railroad company as its altornoy or other rise ; that ail of my time, talent and labor would bo entirely devoted to the interests of my whole constituency,and that political houes'y ami fealty < to ?h? Domocrn.io pa-ty would characterize my publio lift. That Convention, composed of two hundroJ delegates, over ono hundred and eighty o." whom were farmors, reoeived my s a'emcat with much applause, and by au overwhelming vo e tabled the resolution. i iiin ui*i<noi siaicincni 01 m-.no mj)i cmoil heard, That (ho Democrats of my county, who had trusted rne in peace and war for thirty-fire years, placed confidence in this avowal of my pos;t'on and purpose, was iT'nced on the 23d instant at the ballot boxes of Spnitaaburg County by tbeir overwhelming vote in my favor. From the date of tbe Convention uniil the nppearanoe of this circular, after the verdict of the first primary had been rendered, no charge or insinuation was to my knowledge made agfvnst me upon the line of these resolutions. Second. It will not do for the advocates ' of Capt. Shell to insist that he be elected upon the ground that he is a farmer and ' that tbe balls "of Congress are crowded with 'awyers." Since the fact is that ho declared on the slump?and signed a contract to carry oal the docl iration?that lie would withdraw from the canvass if I and other candidates would dp so in order lo. * eunendor the field lo a candidate who was not only a lawyer, but also (he loeel attorney at Union of the Richmond aud Danville Railroad Company, and ngaiost whom no insinuation had been made upon that account. I have herein made a fair and candid s'atemcnt to meet the oovert ond unfair at-? lack which has been made upon me In this circular, and I now submit the caso lo the impartial judgment of my follow.ciiixcos of the Domocratio party at the ballot box.
