Hajer ralbert Talk* Vthintaily for Miiui < taA tko Sal-Treasury BillCoivmria, March 8.?To the Editor of the Edgefield C'Arcnicle: De-r Sir: I notice in y?ur issue of the 4tb of March a abort alitoral headed "Macune Weighed in the Balance," in which you say. in substance, that He Has teen weigh*d in the ba'aoce and fbund wanting for the reason, as yon say, at the late meeting of alliance | residents v' la Washington, wh-n the uirmkeis of the * national legislative committee were elected, Macune was a candidate, but in one 1 allot ha was aet aside and liis place given to U. 8. Hall, of lha Missouri State A-liance " New 1 do not believe i> is your intention ' v "td ie injuttice to Macune and heree I wfite to disabuse y? nr mind and tbo urnda of your l oaders of the erom-ns idea that MaCuaa waa even a cand'date for the prBit;on spoken of, much less to have born defeated in the raee for it. According to the resolu ion adopted at Ocala, creating this legislative committee, the committee wns to be composed t n'y ofprcs'dehts of S:nte nlltsncro. Htnce Mncunc was not eligible to membership on th?t committer, because it was to be comprscd of Slate presidents, nnd and he was not a Stale president. Tlirn, of course, when ihis otnmit'ec rait in Washington and elected nn executive comuii tee or board, Macune wns nil eligible to mem bershlp on that board, at.d Oi l not effrr f r such a position. But, Mr. Editor, "the cat in the meal tub" is this, U. S. Hall ha* be?ii a known opponent of the snb-trensury bid, and Macune i'a advocate ; nnd there arc a certain clnrs of papers all over this c< nutry who a'e trying iv |iruuu?;c uisvjuiu tu ?'ur ururr \*j ?uui?'iijj i our choacn le*d?r*. It it the uui? old game I ?f lh? nimil.l ?nil (>ppOti>lun 1 preaetiteuin a ucwloi ni when they attempt ta attack auch men ai Macune, 1'oik, Livingaion an J ottu ra, on aecount of their adherence to the gr. a', ginnd, under'y ng I riucipies of tlio sub-tre*ayry scheme. Thi# scheme was adapted at St. Louis by the Natioual Fat mora' All aoce and Industrial Union, a? d after a year's discus-ion, wns re-endorsed at the next naConal meeliiig at Ocala, by n prac ically unanimous v< te of the delegn'es fresh fr? tn the people, with their instructions 1 inging in their cars. The sub-treasury plan is ttie emancipation proclamation for pr ducti?e labor ; and f r that reason, the paid tools if monopoly are not only ready, willing ami noxious to lie to defeat it, but will go to much greater lengths as the struggle waxes warmer. The character of the a? tides jublishid from Washington by the s'ander hnre?u in icgard to the alliance and its leaders, shews to what depths of degradation a human being may sink, in the eervile attempt to ass st the unscrupulaus advocate of corrupt wealth in its nefarious scheme to perpetuate the present damnable monetary system of the national govetn meet, with all its infernal diecriminstiooa Jliere !s tn'y one way lo TBCfil' litis, Mil that is for the members of the order to work as hard for the order ss our emenies do against u?. If that is done, we willsueeecd. If wa wi I endorse the motto, "In things essential, uni'y," victary will perch upon ttr banners in the end. I!cs| ectfully, W. J. Tai.nr.nT. A RrcBtYEK run Coosaw.?Columbia, Mnrch 21.?A vet liable sensation was enrolved in the Coosaw complication lo-dny by a new move by the ] liosphnte commission which will be apt to have the ?fleet of a imower I'Rtn on ttie t_'"os?w company's exclusive claims and its hopes of mi indefinite lie np" of the disputed territory. Attorney General Pope, accompanied by George S. Mower, his associate in tho Coosaw esse, and Hubert Aldrich and II. A. M. Smith, attorneys for tho States' licensees, slipped over to Aiken last eveuing. This morning they appeared before Judge Aldrich in chambers and made application for ?~ the appointment of a temporary receiver to m fake charge of the Coosaw territory, pending re'tlement of the matter by the courts. A telegram from Attorney General Pope states that the motion was granted, and the court appointed Captain U. R. Brooks, of this city, chief clerk in the office of the secretary of State, as temporary receiver. Captain Brooks h f this evening for Brancbvillc where he w 1! be met by Attorney General Pope and I.-morrow they will probably go on to Charleston. According to the statement of Governor Tillman, chairman of the commission, the first aciion of the temporary receiver will be to advertise for bids for mining phosphate in the dispute i territory at a fixed price. After such bids aro approved by Judge Ald-ichibe parties declared la bo the successful bidders will be allowed to mine in Cooenw under the jurisdiction and direction of the receiver. Tho net proceeds oflha sale of rock will ither go to the Stats or to Coosaw, according to which eide wins in the legal fight now on. Governor Tillman etate 1 this evening that mining under this arrangement would probably be resumed iu about two weeks.

It is felt in every line of business. Five hundred men employed en the West Side street ears arc laid off with the epidemic, and the cimpany is badly handicapped for help. The South Side Company has one hundred nnd twenty-five men on the sick list. The North Side Company has about seventy-five men out, while many of those at work are suffering from toe disease iu a mild form. Large down-town stores are having a hko experience. In one store employing one 1 hundred and fifty clerks forty nre sick. ( Ten per cent of the police force is laid up , and fifty men in the (ire department are oft.

'he Terrible GrippeThis disease is becoming alarmingly epilemic and fatal in a number of the large dties at the North. In Chicago there are houeands of persons down with it, seriousy affecting the work in the numerous actories and induetries of lha city, while ne-lia'f of the street ear driven are laid up rith it, and the mortality reports of the test month hsve been st lesst 20 per cent ;rcater then ever before.

Will the Cannon Ball Train Benefit Union! The eorrrspondenl of Tun Statx from thla , place, over the signature ot* T. B. B , speaks ef an effor: bring made to induce Superln- ' lendent V. K. Me Bee to put a "c*nnin ball" tra:n on the S. U. & C. Road. We had n t heard of it before, and immediately made inquiry among the leading business men of the town concerning it. That euch a mere is talked of here, ia etiictly true, and If any benefit wi'l accruo to the town or eonnty from patting ?\uli^.p train on the road, we are for it with alroitr heart. I It is preVable, as T. B. B. says, that during the Summer man I Its such additional railroad facilities through here, would be a great convenience to ti c traveling j ublio seeking heal'h and pleasure in the mounts^*, but, we ooofess, at tlie rsk of being put down as an "old f gy," we cannot see how it wdl benefit our pe-ple. A? we understand it, the schedule of a "cannon ba'l' train won'd run between the nressnt raseon ger tra'ns, enabling jassengcrs from Union to go to Columbia or Spartanburg, trnnsact any business (purchase any aniruut of goods) in those cities and return the s.smo day. We may be rai*taken. or wo may appear narrow-minded, selfish, and wanting in publie spirt in this mn'ter; but if either of ih< as charges can bo justly male against us it mu't be attributed to a tio zealous deal rc on oor {art to guard the people against (lie inni'Ji-u- advances af other sections upon our business interests, when coming, as it setns to us this more does, in tho seductive garb of "public enterprise," or undor a | speoV pl<a f< r the public gool. We confers to becoming somewhat jealous and stt'pi -ious of a'l outside propositions fer public rnterpiises and moren through this town purj orting to be for "lbs good of Union. All the railroad projects we base engaged in hare either been more of injury than benefit to us, or hare fallen through, while roadi are built around us cresting new t?'Wn?, donblingand trebling tho population of ethers and making them pnspcrous, atrnctive ci'ier. We, a? a people, do not rccm to do anything for ourselves. We appear to be satisfied with the standstill attitude of (ho town, forgetting Ilia' a town standing still is a town goirg downwsrds, in this go-f>rward sge. What Union wants is something that will 'i^.isU.s, rtllkii kiw mtmmm limttfl find atlrsct business from the out'ide. We want a Cotton or some o'hor large Factory, or a nutubrr of small industries. We want the capital male from the business of the town to be woikitig within and for tho town, instead of be ng at work bu'ldirg up other localities. We are g'jng ?o have a fine Graded School building. That is a good movo in the right directitn; but if it does not do mors than edncate tho children of the present ftrai ies in tho town, it will be cf rsry little more benefit to the business of tho town than our presont school buildings. Wo must invite and prepare for families to m >vo here; and whert are the dwellings for them to lire in? Or how do we cxpoot to increase the school population ? Wa want m-re work, more 1-fe, more libsralby an I more looking ahead nmang all clarses of our town, to eavo it from being swallowed up by outsiders. Death of Miss Maggie Nicholson. We regret to learn of the death of Miss Maggie Nicholson, a sister of Mr. W. A. Nicholson, which tccurrcd at Aberdeen, Scot'nnd, on the 6th, inst. Miss Nicholson was well known in this community, having resided here for several years with her ht other, during which time by her kind ar.d gent'o disposition, she made many warm friends, who will regret to hear of her unlimc'y dentb, and those who knew her well will join u.s in saying that a pure chrhtian has been called to rest, and she will be missel in her family and n large circle of friends whe-e her christian life exemplified the scripture tru<h that "it is not all of life to live, nor all of death to die.''

A man said to nnswer, in some respects, the description of Dave Flow, who killed Gi Jeter last November was arrested at Laurensville, Go., on the 10th inst., and Sheriff Long notified of the arrest. Sheriff Long, ns quickly as possible, obtained the necessary requisition papers and went for the prisoner, and returned with ltioi Mit Saturday. Upon his arrival here person! who knew Flow said at once that the wrong man had been arrested. 1 he prisoner being a much larger man, and in no any answering the description of Flow.. The Solieitor wan notified and ordered a preliminary hearing to be had. The prisoner said hin name was Jack Smith, that ho wan from York County, and had lived for years ia the family of ex-Sheriff R.

He is firmly of the epinien that Acnnessy was killed by the Mails, lie telle the following story in regard te the killing: "Last April the Preventano and Matranga stevedores engaged in a fight, the result of a vendetta of old standing, and a Matranga bad his leg shot off. The ProvenxAnos need old-fashioned horse pistols bored out and 1 nded with slugs. Well, after this shooting the Provenzanos wore tried and found guilty, but it was claimed that perjured testimony had besn given and a new trial was granted. That brings us right up to the assassination. Detective D. C. O'Mal'y helped the Matranga* in prosecuting the Provenzanos. Joo Machcca, who was riddled with bullets Faturdav. and who ! <? been on good ierms with Hennesvy, wanted the Utter to assist in convicting the Provenzanos even after it wn< known that the Mafia wssj producing perjured testimony. Hennessy refused. During the summer he sent to Ita'y and got the records of ail the witnesses who had testified against the Provenzanos. lie.dug deeper into the o der then any outsider ever had dared, and when he was up hero to see me, in Ootober he said he had the evidence to root up the Mafia in it band of assassins, and weutd have sent a crowd to the penitent ary fur petjury.

Good MannersGo d manners ia the most essential element in good society, and sbonld be colli' & ra'ed bj everybody. We are judged te a great extent by our behavior. Gocd manners should he practical in cvery-dsy life, then when in society the^g--. would not be so many wide and fhavteful mistakes and so much awkwardoevs. "j Some propla are born with beauty, and yjjl in early life possess even gracefulness of movement, while others find it hard work to brcouiu ucuuaiuiuet* iv buwm ,-jZ Many think tf they are polite to certain persons and in certain places, that is all 7,; that <s required, but that is a sad mistake. fe The law of '-Good Manners" requires us te be courteous to all with whom we eeme in cmtao', oil, young, rich and poor. Whe ,y can be railed a gentleman or a lady who does not treat tho poor with respect as well es the rich f When we have opportunity to lend a helping hand, or speak a kind word to en old man or'woman, we should take advantage of Father has promised a reward for even a cup of cold water bestowed in kindness up on all such. Mow a w*rJ especially to the boys : B ys. if you wish to be oslled "g?nte-l boys" never, when passings lady, neglect to raise your bat frem your head, not simply toneh or motion toward it. I was geing along ths road not long ago and met a small boy who was very foorly dressed, and whose hat was not the sHiTest in the world, but ere he passed me, h's bat was lifed gracefully from his head, aad I have often thought of bis gentlemanly manners. When you oall npon your friends da not always be meddling with the niee things | in the pnrlor, having the ladies cringing at every move you make, for fear you would ^ break something;' snd do try to know what "?> * to do with your hands and feel. I have seen people that I didn't believe really knaw In y?? what position to sit. They would first cross ; their legs, then uncross them, put tbeir " >} hands in their packets and the next minute stretch them over the back of the chair. It looks mueh better te'eit erect, with your feet and hands in their proper plaees. a We gir*s also have many nnmanncr'y "M habits. Ws should guard ourselves against the habit or loud talking and laughing. Let us think for a moment how rude and illbred it rounds in others, and we will decide that it is one of the slronge?t marks of vulgarity. Also, when olhrr persons are talk* ing, to interrupt and speak before them, is one of the most d'sreepeotful and tu te things imaginable.
