Later developments, however, have eon- n( vinced me that there is a settled, malicious t,e and determined purpose, on the part of csrtain parties, not only to "blacklist" but to C1 misrepresent, and malign me nod others, u, which has found expression in such n way. ? < ?e csuso i-y fiieuus to ask mo the reason M v for it, and demand that it shall be exposed. n, Tbe first intimation I had of this, was in the appearance of the following correspon- f? denes in the Augusta Chroniclr, signed r, Craddook," which appearrd immediately w after the inaugural of President Cleveland, j,| and was copied by various papers in this fc Slate: "Tho leaders of the South Carolina re- R. form movement that assembled in Washing- C( ton during the inauguration seemed to have q more important business tliaa night seeing.

H ?"*** tniniitl t;-1 iu the LauronsviUe llrrild, m tv It toil the charge W matte (| that I have aitcnded ihu Donaldson eaueua, at Spartanburg, in which various parties |( moniioutd as traitors," etc., wore "sharp- (| entng thoir llruius dagger for Ben Tillman," (J and iiko expressions. Now, 1 would have been content lo lot , thiso things go by without dignifying thorn s by a denial, relying upon my record and t character und a suthcieui refutation with all , interested and well informed panics, as 1 und n any others saw llio uniiuus and ]iurpose wiili which they were written, and could easily tell tlio source from whence they came, hut later developments have convinced , mo that it is my duty to expose them. It may be as well, however, while I utu writ- r ing to any iu my own behalf, as well as the j others named, that there is not one particle y of truth in the alleged ''combination" said ^ to have been agreed upon in Washington, and that the whole tiling sprang from tlie malice ami the imagination of one who evi- ' dently aspires to lie the "champion liar ' of ( the State. This is not only a simple denial, hut n c challenge to the real author of the 'Trad- t Jtl ? 1 hall name, to produce * ? t'., J.uiiBI', aiifen- Jtimcrt ^has t ever been a conversation or intimatiou or effort at such a scheme. Although it is a small mutter, it may he well also to state, by way of showing how lies are iiiunufactiired, that no Farley either previously knew of, was invited to or altcnced toe so-called "Donaldson caucus," nt which ilio "llrutus diggers" wero sharpened, indeed 1 cm yet to he informed whether the ciucns of AlliAucemt n at Spartanburg had any political significance, and the iirst intimation thul 1 had that 1 attended it went from Stanyarnc Wilson to Columbia, and later in the banreusvillc 11truhl, which possibly got its information from the same source. The parties who attended Senator Donaldson's A I- c liance caucus can easily tell who were expected, or invited to, or did attend the Donaldson caucus, as I suppose they had a right to do, and also as lo the object. This, however, is a mutter ot little importance. ? As the ' blacklisting' and the "('ruddock" at time, charging a political combination. commenced in Washington, and has been followed no hy various articles and inter - &" ? -piracy and alluuiug to various panics ?a "traitors,"' etc., to (ho "reform movement," tints causing great dissatisfaction, confusion and suspicion as well as threatening contention and division in our ranks. It is of ilie greatest importance to tin.I out what is the cause ol it, who is at the bottom of it or ris ->iis.hie for it, and in short to inquire who ? the real author of "Cruihlock 1 wid state simply that 1 hive the evidence in writing, in my posession, which s .o.is with other facts that 1 aui iu possession of, that one Senator John '.aureus Matiliny, dictated the article quote! above | to Ins private secretary, and had it sent to i i no i,riru/uctc turner l lie name ol "L laildoclv, | , i uo regularcorrespondent .without !: ; > know- ( lc.Sgo ami consent, an 1 Unit the outrage i would have been exposed 11 will be now) < but lor peculiar circums'auccs, aud relations I existing at the time.

I Ns wonder that we have discord and division in onr ranks when n United States Senator descends to such dirty and disgraceful | methods of injuring his former personal J and political Iricuds and allies who have v rendered far greater service than he to the i reform party. Mow the object and animus g of Senator Irby is perfectly clear. Alter c proviug himself a political failure in Washington, and realizing that his political hold ti and dictatorial power is about dead in South d Carolina; after losing ail of his patrouage F and influence in Washington by his fool li course there, where he rashly declared, |? although the Stutc Uhatnnau of the whole tl Democracy, thai "he did not want any reconciliation" among the Democracy of South rt Carolina ; after in short, making an ass of, pi aud sabjecting himself to the tcoru aud ci riilimitn .?? i!<? - v< >uv nuviv cuiiuirjr, ?e turos Ins envy, malice anil disappointment upon Con- tli gressman Shell to <leaouiicc hint ami to sit Miickcu unci "blacklist" every man who he he thinks can not be made a tool of and will th not submit to his dictation. Knowing (hat lie litis no real power or influence of his blown, he tiies in e?ciy way to drag Governor bo Tillman into his ({Uurrels to attach himself a 1 to him like a Siamese twin, hoping thereby lirj to save himself, and under the cry of the ' leadership of Tillman and lrby to braud po the rest of us who do not approve of his tec foolish uud iiuprincipul methods as "trait- tei ors to the reform movement ' and ,n sharpening i heir "lirut us daggeis for Hen Ti 1Oihfi." Jlis purpose is to keep dovyu ?very Sn i?r political loader in Booth Carolina who long* to the reform party ?id ?* dc t Diuutng, by using Governor Tillaisn's me nod ioflueoce in connection with his n to create distrust and suspicion, and in with his banner cry of hate and dlard to raise old Cain and keep hell a brew{ until be can get back into the senate. The simple tiuth is, that the "reform >veineni" is a permanent success, and in danger, exewpt ? l.tj. it only "traitors" to Jt are these who mid divert it from its true purpose, and ostitute It to their own base and ambitious ns and ends, and Governor Tillman will safe if he will but be true to the State, s "reform movement," and te himself, id may well say, "from auoh friends and [visors as Senator Irby 'Good Lord dslivsr i.M if iho principle* lio rcpreseutH and for ihe ;ooiI of the Stale, ami not in obcdienco to lie dr iggooning of iiny man or *et of men.

This question has long been settled, nit- by the courts of the Slules of the Union, it nt and recently in express terms by our man Supreme Couit. Itate Hut the vital question is whether it is The constitutional for the Legislature to confer i re- upon the government of this State, or any ixtra branch thereof, the exclusive tight to trade in intoxicating liquors and maintain the cc. same from the treasury of the State? Can that body divert the taxes of the people front tho legitimate purpo-es of government, n sud invest the money in the trade and fnioti traffic in intoxicating liquors to the exclusion sion of the right of the people to deal thereKcl in ? >y in There is no warrant iu the Constitution for the creation of so gigantic a monopoly been in any private individual or association ol ctory individuals. The ottempt to erect such u monopoly would very Justly alarm and outwith rage the people, and would not stand the itbine test of law. To confer upon an individual ?"? or a corporation, under wholesome rules and regulations, the exclusive right to sell ies to intoxicating liquors in tho State of South 3. C. Carolina would he unconstitutional : not because such a grant is prohibited expressly ies in by the Constitution, but becuuse it is against t."? the genius and spirit of all free governments, rbor- and it is in violation of the couimou law rights of the people, as handed down to us and through the Mnguu Chart a of King JoIid, Hunt- and which form the web and woof and warp of our fundamental law and individual jsival rights. Had the Legislature of Louisaus . Dai- conferred upon the slaughter house corporalii.ti nf upv^nipnti imlivitlnnls the exclusive ng, nt right to erect aiul maintain slaughter houses cattle pens, wharves and landings throughilling out the entire State, iustcad of the parishes 1 rule of Orleans, Jctt'eison and St. Bernard, the tl arc act could not have been sustained by the courts under the police power ol the state, iecro- Such a mouopoly would hajc^bce^ nient unconstitutional, null and void. Such has been the law of England since ry. the argument of the celebrated case ol monopolies in the reign of Quean Elizabeth, F.s. rcpoited in Code 11, page 84, and which led to the statute of 21st James 1, prohibiting <(2 monopolies, an 1 formng now a part of the ' * common law of this State. ,cj Now, cun the Legislature of South Caro1 3* Una center upon the executive department c . c of the State government the exclusive right e "r to buy and sell liquors in tho State?

To secure fi*. nn(l protect the peopic in these rights is tli* ""'J province of government. These rights di ' . c not spring from government, but the gov |a 'j011 ernmcut is created by the people to protect ?P them in life, liberty, property and the pur 1 ' suit of happiness. The first Article of out 1 ? Constitution contaius the Declaration ol Rights. Section 2:1 of our Declaration of Rights *-3* is as follows : "Private property shall not be taken or L'har- applied for public use, or for the use oi tions eorpsratiues. or for private use, without the cpcnl consent of ;!:c cr ownera just cotnpcnsa that j tion being made therefor"?proviso beino _ ? - c ublic added ns to llie rights of way.

A or profession of people in getting up a South- ^ ern history of the war, for which there is such a pressiug demand just at this time. Our plan is this : Let caoh teacher on hearing an historic rl account given write it out and securo the endorsement of Ilia party giving the statement, and fill it with the historical humor. The historian will gather i these statements up and arrange them in proper order and thus a complete history can bo made in which the privates as well as the officers will be noticed. 1 It is a lamentable fact that many of the old soldiers can't write, and what they know , must and will bo lost. But if they find a ^ i ready pen in the hand of some ono who is competent nnd willing to givo their stale incuts to the historian, they will gladly give the information. Thus the teacher will not only be engaged in teaching history, but he 1 or she will be engaged in making it. Our history is going to be written by somebody, I in some style, an 1 if we fail to do it ourselves \ our friends (the enemy) will do it for us. The matters relating to the battlefield, tho cniiin. the march and tho hospital, do uot ; make all our history. Our noble women at i home, the old men, the boys and girla, the i faithful slaves,nil did something which should 1 be noticed, and those will come in in proper order. We merely threw out these suggestions as * j tho advance guard of what is coming. Then * . let us adopt the wisest, best and most correct \ method of getting up our history. The teacher who is worthy the name will be '? found ready and willing to do liis or bor duty to those who took part in making the history of 18G1-'G j. t Let the teachers of Uoion county break the ice, and other counties, and even States, J will follow, and wc will have a history that r will not he disputed, and one that will reflect credit upon thosa who made it. The historical society is calling for these matters and let us give them prompt attention. We hope this suggestion will not be in s vain, hut that it will impress its importance 1 upon all those who have a single spark of Sta'o and national pride about them. s > A Thorough Knowledge of English Nocea sary. Sotne months ago an excellent editorial appeared in one of our leading periolicals [- demonstrating that a thorough knowledge of* English is essential to a complete mastery of ' any atnl all branches of learning and urging it as a part el every other study in cur , ??i i. i ! While this is not a new departure, and its importance lias always been recognized by ' teachers of merit, yet it is a lamentable fact | that it is sometimes neglected, very much to me msa-i vantage or inc pupil, especially in f after years, when the absence of an ability to speak and write with ease and accurne "7 ^ * is more keculy felt. Young people ehouV never bo hurried oil to acquire what V , vaguely termed a "finished education," be- v fore receiving that trainiog in their o?n language which should form the groundwork for all future knowledge. Kverelt could not have, "charmed a college," nor Webster have claimed the interested attention of the cultivated ear of the Senate, had their discourses been interlard* d with jarring inaccuracies. Children of educa'cd parents, from constant association with polished and cultured people, arc likely to speak wi'h accuracy, even though they may have received no particular instruction in this vespect : but when the conditions nro otherwise it is sometimes un jxtremc'y dithcult matter to obtain gratifying results, for it is an arduous task to seek to rt move early * impressions and eradicate grammaiical errors & to which the pupil has been accustomed frnnii infancy. If one will for a moment seriously* consider ihc a (vantages to be der.vcd Irouu (lie ability to convoy our thoughts in the most pleasing and impressive language, an J the rthniog intlurnce iacideut to the study, it will he n difticult matter to resist tltc conclusion tliat Itcreiu lies the basis of cducitional success. This charm of mauuer?or the absence of it?is perhaps more noticeable in women than men It wis said of so ne noted Kngiishmati, who visited this country,, that centuries of refinement were ait iible in the voice." I While the utmost precision in the tuWtct" of speech is entirely unncc.'sstry, and apt to suuick of pedantry and a "newness" ^ which is highly suggestive of the ridiculous, yet we cannot bo Ioj careful in the matter I of training children in the Hog idi language. , StATON.
