Will the spirit ofopprsition w< rk the same way this lime? It may be worth crnridt iing if the newspapers are the true indices of public sentiment. ? /Wmotto /'out. [f Haskell should bo Zloetod. He would be nothing more than a flubborn figure-head to the 8tate government. With a Legislature a'moat unanimouo in opposition to him, he would be powerlrw if he attempted to thwart the wishes of the democrat io partj, ma represented by the treuehment and relief the peopftTmay^a?! iof A two-thirds vote would kill his vett and make a law perfect without his signstune ol indorsement ; and to us it seems the height of perversencss and folly for a number of intelligent men to put themselves in the ridiculous ait tude of fighting for a pejiiion which can only bo attained by the eaorifios of principle, the peace and welfaro of the State and the destruction of the democratic party; an I when ntiniued will prove a mere bauble, to satisfy a sentiment, or the wishes of men eutircly behind tlio pogrcsiivo spirit of the times, and cannot brook defeat. On this line the Greenville Neics forcibly says: Nor docs it teil us what any of us aio to gain now or in the future by electing Judge Haskell. Its key-note is punishment for I Minion, in ilie fnco of the foci that n legislature nearly solid for Tillman is a certainly, and thot his defeat for Governor would remit in electing him to the United States Sena'e and compelling Judge IJaske'l, as Joveroor, to sign the commission promoting ?"thss, A^.AJinaEgtUiJkiLQirations While we have no idea that the Haskell ticket will be elected, we think it is the paramount duty of every democrat to keep bin syes and cars open between t'uisaud election lay. The fiiends of that ticket are working suncstly and continuously, aud will leave no effort untried to control every doubtful vote in the county and make converts, not only imong the white but also tho colored voters, ind wo must not underrate the strength of that party. We have no hesitancy in saying that it is growing in numbers, and, in many instances, vety mysteriously. We hear of "Haskell men," where wo supposed they were uncompromising Tillman men. It is loo late for argument. Work ! constant, untiring faithful work, is what is wanted now.

I,a lie* Walking Jackets, "O d Reliable' FOSTER, Wi LK1NS & CO. For the Tlmee. Judge Haskell's recent remarkable publ.sl.ed in the New, and Courier', bwbeen pronounced, "C ear, logics' ?bl , J ? eiatcsinonliko article." It i' not '?"[ for some of his charges ag.iost the Peoples Pa.ty, are decidedlj vague; it ie not logics." for he assumes bis premises, and then 1 draws his conclusions. U it nil the j -? . statesman, for it is estdent, throughout. thai ho deata with the questions InvolvI ed, frcm a strictly legaleton<1 poind Ha in, il?is upon the "legaHty" of tkm sod the ' illegality" of (hat, etc., forgetting thai mere p.rly machinery, baring no^ founjJ*-tion in the fundamental law of the land, is not, strictly speaking, cither "legal or "illegal." Judge Haskell does not recognize the fact, th?t a great political ievolution lias swept over South Carolina, and as is always the case, under such circumstance? ; mere ftlven.jt his aids for conducting ilio political utfniis of a country, ere swept away in the onrush of th J deluge. Conventions and Committ< ci. the ephemeral creations of parties, are simply used to facilitate the management of po itics in comparatively peaceful times, and certainly havo no Divinely derived author. ty ; by which they can rule the people al all, much less rule their against their will, i That authority once conferred upon a Committee or Convention, by the people, can never l?c revoked ; is, of course, an absurd proposition. That this authority can, under any circumstance?, ever ho rightfully used to govern the political affairs of the reonlo iii 01 position to their wishes, is, also, nn absurd proposition. Even looking at the matter, from Ju'ige Haskell's standpoint, that such Committee or Convention can bi legally C mentions oftlioT?own^11 oilon, wlllrvrtlriJ they arc a ready conducting tlieir pol tical affairs, is a grossly absurd propo-it'on. V?t these propositions ore asserted by im p'nation, in Judge Haskell's letter, when he insists so strenuously, upon the "legality" or the "illegality," of this or that Committee or Convention. A claim to sit "cn permanencewas made by Committee in Paris, during the French Hovolutio-i of a hundred yea's ngo ; but the people soon convinced the members of said Committee, that they were of a different opin on. Committees and Conventions arc the ereitures ol'the people, from whom they derive any auth rity which they possess; and the people have a right to revoke this delegated authority, whenever they choose to do so. Judge ila-kcllsnys, that "minds entangled by political office, ore warped," &c. We think that his letter proved, that rniuds entangled in legal technicalities, during many years devoted exclusively to the study and practice of law ; minds which (so to speak,) have never been in touch with ? heart* which * - -n !>???<* iWWaWr hiti. sympathy for their needs and struggles, are totally unfit to deal with the broad political questions which ore sure to pro?ent themselves, when there is n great uprising of the people. Tlmy arc too apt to insist upon petty mattors of prec?-<Icnt. rtilf, oust >m, &c. this is the c-isc with Judge Hnskcll in the present instance. For him the statesman's poiot-ofview, has no cxistaoce whatever. There has been nothing like his wilful blindness, and incapacity to comprehend a great poliiicnl revolution, such as had recently swept over the State; since the French Revolution of 171*0, when the French nobles, set themselves with dull, stupid obstanacy, to stern the tide of events. Wo know the result. Judge Haskc'l evinces the like obstinacy ; and lie is so befogged by passion ; and prejudice ; that he is just now, incapable of thinking, or acting wisely and clearly ; and his "First, sec rod ;?a, b, c. &c., are sitnp'y the blasts of his fog-horn, to warn people of his whereabouts. The charge that tho "methods ' of (he lend-rt of tlia People's Party, are undemo^ CYLuuua* and lmru^tnorl machinery, exactly ^Tith* regular way, tmf nslliiyhnd a right to do; everything sjns dine openly, in tho light of day; they fairly, open'.v, nnd t!ior?>ughly canvassed the State; and the people by a large majority endo'scd them. This Judgo Haskell knows. We think it is proven, that the Committees and Conventions which tho people repudiated"; which the people '-spewed out of their mouths," (to quo'e oue of Judge Haskell's own expressions,) were no lonper entitled to si', nsilic representatives of tho People ; therefore there could not possibly be anything undemocratic in organizing party machinery wlich they knew would represent them, and obey their wishes. The uuderao v,""v ? IS "'vu Judge Haskell's side ; for lie and his motley following, hare, and are still making evcty effort in tln>ir power, to defeat tlio will of the majority of tlio people. Again, Judge Haskell calls the People's Party, a "down-grade" |arty. This party is made up of the respectable masses of the white people of South Carolina; and they are insulted wi h ths epithet, simply because they assert their right to cheese their non political leaders ; in opposition to Judge Haskell's wishes. He evidently regards the, people as "cattail e," who must be driven, mannged, led, and permitted the privilfje of paying taxes,but must be humbly obedient to their sclf-costitutcd rulers. We think tlint in the light of his own actions, of late and in view nf his own mctley foPowings, Judge Haskell should hare rcfraiucd from calling na nto. The meagre, and nondescript company, who can?titutc Judge Haskell's ' ( lit," (see News and Courier of last summer,) reminds us of Fal-tatf's notorious company, which he recruited for the battle cf Shrewsbury; viz. ? Wart, Mouldy, Feeble, and llullcalf; and who levied contributions on the clothes liuct < f the farmer's wives on their way to tlnir famous fight. And we venture to pre lict, that their achievements will be as futile in the political battle of next month, as were those of FalstatFs immortal coutptany, in the battle of Shrewsbury. Moreover, we suggest, that ths white mass es of South Carolina, ntc not quite as far down grade, as Judge Haskell, who openly nnnouuees his intention to uc0 the negro for .11 1.. I- I. . . I, ? . which id essentially the while element of the Slate. And deny it, ns lie may, lie is in fact, (though not in name,) the leader of the Republican party in the State, as it will, in all probability enroll tl otmclves under his baonor. Judge Hnekell talks of tho struggleof 1S7G, to free the Stale from the rule of ignorance and corrupt on; and forgets that the vory rule, which he then, wih the help of the white masses of the State, fought to subvert; he is now struggling to restore to power; that the white people, with whom lie then fought side by side, fellow-solJics s in a good cause ; may be crushed again under the heel of negro daminatieo. Judge Haskell's position in 187U and his position in 1890;?form a very remarkable contrast; and one which, wo should think, lie would not care to contemplate. lie calls the People s Party "a powerful minority." According to his own showing every county in the >tate. except six; endorsed Mr. Tillman for 0o v(,dhHi U jji.is bs not a "majority;" in II coven's narRv; what constitutes a majority in Judge Haskell's opinion? The reiterated charge that Mr. Tillman and his fellow-cntnpnigners, "maligned the Str/i*," in tho charges which they brought against the State officials; cn:i he easily deposed of. No set of officials can, proper y, le snul to cor.s?itnte the State. The pet phrase ?f Mr. lilln.au's opponents that lie "was dragging the fair name of the State in the dust;" wa?, and is, sheer nonsense. IVe neither endorse, nor resent the charges made against the State officials, during the campaign; not =4? now taking ihatqueetioqf consideration; 1 but in hundreds of >n#"s?, hare State offioials, city, sad cow officials, been attacked and diaplaccd f heir opponents, without the ridicqj charge being made, that 8tate, cty ?4>l7 was maligned by the attacks upon tofficials. Boss Tweed, i whilome Mayor aew York cUy, was at- of Ueked and *igliffi accused of almost every on crime agaioskgpeopte in his charge, of th which a Msfimnld be guilty; and was, th aftei^M^gJbff'jrt, driven from office, th * and|^HL?X^|kM^abiLyet nobody tfa t>?Ttack??P?n tJiMf > character, were to 1 tny degradation (0 thi fr or State of New 'orI. It is usoMbs tofultip'y instances ; he case is so plain.

It is not to their interest to do so ; on tho contrary it is to their interest to protect bim in every way. The people need a quiet country, to carry forward that ' improvement in their condition, which has just begun; as they nre just now beginning to emerge from a period cf unexampled depression of the agricultural interests of the Stale ; though, strungo to say ; Judge Haskell asserts that they have been "enjoying a period of unexampled prosperity," under the "ideal" government inaugurated in 1876 ! I Strange that tho people should have been totolly unconscious of their bappy condition. The negro race in no tcai/ xchalever, has bocn a feature in 'lie campaign, thus far. But Judge Haskell now coustilu es himself their champit n and lender ; and upon him therefore must rest the heavy responsibility of now bringing them forward.

In nc time, no doubt ; whatever Shell's majority may be, upon attempting to lake his sent in Congress, compliant witnesses may bo found, who, "/or a consideration," will swear to the intimidation of voters, and Ensur will be seated, Thus will be seated another friend to the perpetuation of corrupt Republican rpkf-'n the United States; thus will be furnished still more data, forurging the pnssago of the L.dge force bill; United Slates bayi neis will be at the polls in S.

It certainly has convinced in. as well as all others in this vicinity conversant willi the facts, that tho Mutual Life Insurance Company carries out the principles of justice and equity to the utmost in its dealings with its | olicy-holdcrs. The fac's in the case aro as fo'lows : The quarterly premium of Mr. Reeder'8 policy was duo August 10 1890. On August 9, about 10, p. in., while ou his way homo in his cirt, Mr. Reeder was thrown therefrom, dragged souic distance, aud was found in an unconscious condition Sunday morning (the 10th) at about 7 a. m.

To the Tax Payers of Union County. 1 wish to say to the tax payers of Union County that it wid be impossible for me to receive jury anil w.tticss tickets in payment of taxes for the present fiscal year, as has been a custom heroiofore by the County Treasurers, for reus <ns set forth below. There is a law in existnnco civine the County Ci inm ash ncrs of Union County the right to b-rrow mon-y from tnc Merchants ami l'lunters Hank of Union, S. C., each year, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of said coutuy after the funds ol the ,ic?-.nty treasury have been exhnnsted , and ilk it-,0 purpose of socuring said bank ihe security _Tej to providea that all funds colrht to to' tlia county Treasurer for oadinxry ? .7^ ill ryp"-bounty Commissioners having bor...wed a la ge sum of money from the sail rbank during tlrs year, tliey positively refuse I [ to allow inc to receivo jury and witness tickets in payment of taxes. Thus you see it will le iiiifossiblc for me to accept jury and witness tickets in payment of taxes, as 1 am absolutely subject to the orders of the County Commissioners in the disbursement of the Conn'y funds. Jury and witness tickets within themselves would not be. under the law, legal vouchers for the County Tr< usurer in his Mtt lenient with the County Auditor ami the Coinpttollor Geueralofthc State. Hoping this m?y le satisfactory to r!1 those who uofuMuunlely hold jury and witness tickets, so far as relates to my refusal to accept them in j nymcnl of taxes, I remain yours respectfully, J. H. 1.
