t My friend Vox govc me away in hie communication
last week in saying I was at
Greenville at the U. S. Court. The court is
a big thing, though Union County did not
have as many cases and witnesses there as
I llsnnl. 'I'llno wore nvi>r turn luin,irr>,l
I en the docket and over eight hundred witnesses
rogi-iere I. TI.e crponeo of the court
is about $3,0<K) a day. The new U. 8. Court
house is a line substantial building, well fur,

small. That is the only objection I could
find to the arrangement of tho grand struct

Last Saturday was our county campaign
i day. The crowd was large and orderly. 1
did not attend tho meeting myself os 1 did
not get home from Greeuville till 3 o'clock,
p. in. I understand all the candidates were
there, and most of them spoke. There were
some sharp words between Messrs. T. 11.
Gore and U. IV. Whitman, bdh candidates
for the Legislature upon the administration
ticket, livery good conservative man in the
county will certainly be glad when this boiling,
seething Mitgirg, howling, abusive
campaign is over. The church will have a
! great deal to do after the .'50th. Some of the
preachers, 1 understand, are hurrahiug and
taking great interest in the campaign, and
not for prolub (ion, either. 1 am really
sorry that those things aro so.
