NKWiPArxn SmrrmxxT.?Some strange things nre to be observtd in politics. Some time ago nearly every State newspaper was opposed to Mr. Tillman. Ftill he rcceivrd the nomina'inn. Now they nearly nil oppose Mr. Haskell. Will the spirit of opposition w< rfc tbo same way this time? It inny be worth eoneidrring if the newspapers are the true indices of public sentiment.?Palmetto Pott. If Hasksll should b? D?Ud. He would be nothing more than a ??"bborn figure-head to the 8tate government. With a Legislature almost unanimous in opposition to him, he would be powerless if he attempted to thwart the wishes of the democratio party, as represented by ths treoehment and relief the peopledmay ea?|f ior A two-thirds rote would kill his set* and make a law perfect without his signatuno ol indorsement; and to us it seems the hsighi of perversencss and folly for a number of intelligent men to put themselves in the ridiculous Mt tudo of fightiog for a position whioH can ooly bo attained by the saorifioo oi principle, the peace and welfaro of the State and the destruction of the democratic party an 1 when attained will prove a mere biublr to satisfy a sentiment, or the wishes ef meti entirely behind the pogrcssive spirit of the times, and cannot brook defeat. On this line the Greenville' Neict forcibly says: Nor does it tell us what any of us aio t< fain now or in the future by electing Judge laskell. lis key-note is punishment foi Tillman, in the face of the fact that a legislature nearly solid for Tillman is a certainty, and that bis defeat for Governor would re suit in elect log liim to the United Stater Sena'e and compelling Jndge Haskell, ai Governor, to sign ths commission promoting -HMbd a mh imi iffcts aisn snnor tut aspiration i While we have no idea that tha Basket ticket will be elcctod, we think it is the paramount duty of every demoorat to keep bit eyes and ears open between this aud election day.

GRAHAM & SHARKS. La lie* Walking Jackets, "O d Reliable FOSTER, WILKINS & CO. ( w ? ror the Ttmss. ii Judge Haskell's reoent remarkable letur, b published In the New, and (toner -, bnsbeen o pronounced, "cear, logic*', able, n?d, n e statesmanlike rllole.

Judge Haskell does not recognise the '{ et, that a great political lorolnticn has swept over South Carolina, and as is alwajs I > the case, under such circumstances; mere | ; a I ventit-eus aide for conducting the political ! uffaiis of a country, are awept an ay in the ' onrush of ths deluge. Contentions and Com- j 1 mitUet. the ephemeral creations of parties, are simply used to facilitate the management ( of po'iiics in comparatively peaceful times, | and certaiuly hare no Divinely derived authority ; by which they can rule the people at all, much leas rule thorn against their will. > That authority once conferred upon a Committee or Convention, by the people, can never be revoked; is, of course, an absurd proposition. That this authority can, unuer , any oircuniiitance). ever be rightfully used l to govern the political affairs of the people, i iu opposition to their wishes, is, also, an ab- / t surd proposition. Even looking at the matter, / ; from Judge Haskell's standpoint, that such \ t Commit loo or Convention can bs legally X '' 'U "?rnfi nurj IC mentions of their own tnofioo, witn vasnvT^ they are a'ready conducting their pol tical , 1 affairs, is a grossly absurd proposition, i Yit these propositions ere asserted by im? j , p* Ration, in Judge Haskell's letter, when he insists so etrcnuous'y, upon the "legality" , } or tho "illegality," of this or that Committee , 1 or Convention. r A claim to sit "enpermanence," was made by Committee in Paris, during the French ' Revolution of a hundred years ago ; but the , people soon convinced the members of said I Committee, that they were of a different ] r opin:oo. , f Coramitleos r.nd Conventions are the creatures of the peopl*, from whom they derive j any authority which they possess; and the 1 people have a right to revoke this delegated j - authority, whenever they ohoose to do so. j Judge Ila'kcll fays, that "minds entangled by politicul office, are warped," &o. Wo | think that his loiter proved, that minds entangled in legal technicalities, during many ' years devoted exclusively to the study and f practice of law ; minds which (so to speak,) , 1 nave never been in touoh wltt^^w^conle ; heart* which twn ???? ^ sympithy for their needs and struggles, are , totally unfit to deal v',h the broad political ' qnesiious which sro sure to present themselves, when there is a great uprising of the J i people. p They are too apt to insist upon petty matters of precedent, rule, oustom, &c. ibis is j the oaso with Judge Haskell in the present I instance. For bioi the statesman's poiat-of- , visw, has no distance whatever. There has ( been nothing like his wilful blindness, and incapacity to comprehend a great politioal , I revolution, such as had recently swept ovor , the State; since tbo French Revolution of j 1790, when the French nobles, set themselves ' . with dull, ftupid obstanaoy, to stern the tide of events. We know the result. Judge Havke'l evinoes the like obstinacy ; j r and ho is so befogged by passion; and preju- ( 5 dice ; that he is just now, incapable of think- j ing, or acting wisely and olearly ; and his . ? ?Fir?tf.

The charge that the "methods ' of the * > lcad'-rt of tho ople's Party, are undemit^Y i ij '?^*1*3 , machinery, exactly fntbe regular way, anaT ^ astliryhad a right to do; everything wpa , dene oponly, in the light of day; they fairly, openly, and thoroughly canvassed the j State; and the people by & large majority i endorsed thorn. This Judge Haskell knows. We think it is proven, that tho Committees and Conventions which the people repudiet- , 1 ed] which the people "spewed out of their mouths." (to quo'e one of Judge Haskell's , 5 own expressions,) were no lonper entitled to sit, as the reprosentatives of the People ; , therefore there could not possibly be any* , ' thing undemocratic in organising party machinery whcli they knew would represent , tbem, and obey their wishes. The undemo- , t cratic proce#lings bave been entirely on Judge Haskell's eide ; for be and his motley following, have, and are still making every ) effort in their power, to defeat tho will of the ' majority of the people. Again, Judge Haskell calls the People's Party, a "down-grade" r^ty. This party , is made up of the respectable masses of the white people of South Carolina ; and they j are insulted wi.h this epithet, simply ber cause they assert their right to choose their non political leaders ; in opposition to Judge ' Haskell's wishes. He evidently regardsifr. I people as "canaille," who must be drives, , managed, led, and permitted the priviUyt of I paying taxes,but must bo humbly obedient { to their self-costituted rulers. ) We think that in tho light of bis own aop tions, of late and in view af hie own metiey f fol'.owings, Judgo Haskell should have rep fraiued from calling names. The meagre, 0 and nondescript company, who constitute f Judge Haskoll's "tail," (a?o News and Cou ritrui ihqi Buuiucr^ rrniuius ua 01 raiMair b , notorious company, which he recruited for tha t battle cf Shrewsbury ; vis.?Wart, Mouldy, Feeble, and Bullcalf; and who levied contributions on the clothce-linoi of tbe farmer's j wires on their way to tht-ir famous flpbt. And wo venture to predict, that their achievements will be as futile in the political battle of next month, as were those of Falstaff*s immortal company, in the battle of Shrewsbury. Moreover, we suggest, thatthv white mass es of South Carolina, are not quite as far down grade, as Judge Haskell, who openly announces his intention to u?e the negro for all he is worth, to defeat the People's Party; which is essentialty the white element of the Stats. And deny it, as ho may, he i* in fact, ' (though not in name,) tbe leader of the bepubliean party in the State, as it will, in ell 8 probability enroll tbemtelves tinder bis baoner. Judge Haskell talks of (be struggle of 1S7G, to free (be State from the rule of ignoranoe - and corrupt-on j and forgets that the very rule, which he then, whh 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 he then fought f side by side, fellow-soldiers in a good cause ; e may be crushed again under the heel of negro . domination. Judge Haskell's position in 1876 and his position in 1890;?form a - very remarkable contrast; and one wbioh, we i. should think, he would not care to ooBtemi plate. t He calls the People's Party "a powerful h minority/' According to his own showing every county in the State, except sis ; en.

No sot of official* can, piopsr'y, I s ? said to oons*itote tho Slate. The pet phrase < 1 Mr. Tillman's opponents that he "eras dragging the fair name of the State in the dust;" waa, and is, sheer nonsense.

The people need a quijet country, to carry forward that improvement in their oonditioo, which has just begun fa? they are just cow beginning to emerge from a period of unexampled depression of the agricultural interests of ihe State; though, strange to aay; Judge Haskell asserts t*t they have been "enjoying a I period or. unexampled prosperity, unuer ihe "ideal" government inaugurated io 1876 11 8trango ihnt the people should bate been totally unconscious of their bappy :ondltion.; > Tho negro race in no way whatever, has boon a (feature in "he campaign, thus far.

These people aie to nil intents and purposes, the Republican party of this 8iate. Already certain members of tliia party bare declared that "they had ra<her have a negro for Governor, than Mr. Tillman." We might reply to this in the words of an oid phrase; 4 L?ke to like." Already, at a ceit&in K. K. town, which shall be nameless; Eosor has appeared, has summoned Haskell's henchmen in the neighborhood, has held secret counsel with them, sending for certain negro* s to assist in these counsels. In ne time, no doubt; whatever Shell's majority may be, upon attempting to lake his eat tn Cod grits, compliant witnesses may be found, who, "/or a consideration," will swear to the intimidation of voters, and Knsor will be seated, Thus will be seated another friend to the perpetuation of corrupt Republican rpkfiwihe United States; thus will be furniahtd etilh more data, for urging the passage of the Lodge force bill; United States bayt nets will be at the polls in 8. C. two years hsnce; thenceforward freedom will be only e name, and the possibility of another frightful civil war, Will confrontthe Southern 1/rople. This is what Haskell, and bis fol lowers, in their blind reckless folly, ere dying to force upon the people. It is neither improbab'e, nor impossible. Bi&nd to your colours, friends, end strain every nerve for (ho victory. It is always dangerous to underrate your enemy. If the white people are beaten now, henceforward, they are serfs, in all but the name, and the negro race will dominate the white race, in this Bute. This is what Haske'l and his followers are striving for, deny it as they may.

The fac's in the case aro as follows : Tho quarterly premium of Mr. Reader's policy was due August 10 1890. On August U, about 10, p. m., while ou his way home in his c*rt, Mr. Reeder was thrown therefrom, dragged some distance, and was found in an unoouscious condition Sunday morning (the 10th) at about 7 a.m. In the road near by was found the card notifying him that his pi emium was due, cent from your office somo time before. Mr, Reeder remained unconsoious until his death, whiob occurred at 6 o'clock. Sunday afternoon, the 10th apd the date on which the premium was due and unpaid.

For The Times. To the Tax Payers of Union County. I wish to say to the tax payers of Union County that it wi'l bo impossible for me to receive jury and w.tness tickets in paymoot of taxes for the present fiscal year, as has been a custom heretofore by the County Treasurers, for reasons set forth below. There is a law in existsuce giving the County Cumm ssioners of Union County the right to burrow money from tno Merchants I ni A T? L _ * TT_ X CS /"I 1_ | uuu riuniers dbui oi uuioo, o. > ?i%"3n I year, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of said county after the fands of the Hjpty treasury h?T? been exhausted , and purpose of securing said bank the ^^^^^yed to provides that all funds colthe county Treasurer for osdin?ry f^H^CTunty Commissioners having bor Mrod a la<ge sum of money from the said |rbank during th's year, they positively refase to allow mo to receive jury and witness tickets in payment of taxes. Thus you see it will be impossible for roe 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 tho County f\mds. Jury and witness tickets within themselves would not be, under the law, legal vouchers for the County Tr? usurer in his settlement with the County Auditor and the Compttoller General of the State. Hoping this may bo Gatisfactary to all those who unfortunately hold jury and witness tickets, so far as relates 'o my refusal to aocept Ibem in paymer: of taxes, I remain yours respectfully, J. B. 1.
