$4 ' v l _ [from thr cotton pi-ant.] ' CONGRESSMAN SHELL'S REPLY. To an Invitation to Attend the Spartanburg Meeting?.4 Word to His Defamers. C?pt. E. 0. AUm, Chairman of the committee on invitation for the SpartnnHorg meeting, t?veive<J the following letter from Congressman Shell in response to no invitation to spvak at that meeting. "If he were a catulnlato for Governor:" Capt. K. C. Allen, and Others of ths Committee, Spartat bnrg, S. C. Ukntlemks : Your favor without da'e, inviting "all candidates for Governor and for Congress in the Fourth District to attend a mass meeting of lterorniers called for Spartanburg Comity 011 the U11h, inst," was duly received. Why this invitation was addressed to me 1 can hardly imagine, hocause it is well known to every intelligent man in South Carolina that 1 declared my intention to retire from politics, and 1 cannot conceive how I could make it consistent and accept an invitation to address a mass-meeting, either ai a caudi late for Governor or Congress, It would have given tuc much pleasure to have met with my Spartanburg friends on that occasion and bad accorded inc an opportunity of defending myself against the contemptible misrepresentations constantly made ugainst me, but your invitation is so environed with conditions that 1 cannot easily accept your proffered kinitness. There may be a time in the near future, however, when 1 will seek an opportunity of saying something to the good people of opartauburg County on matters and things nf mv AWB uliiuiaiiur. arid when 1 do. lll.V future aspirations and intentions will not ho misunderstood. 1 have nn ambition n<>' i-afto<I bin, ;f hrnitll will nerinit.

Tur. Ciii'kch or Tin: Nativity?Episcopal?was more profusely decorated than for souieyears and presented a truly handsome, bright and happy springlike appearance. Bright timers, most tasiely ai ranged un^li evergreens, inaJe bright the alter, tlic railing, lie lcoturn, the reading desk, the organ, the baptismal fount, the tablets and the windows, while the walls were elaborately fe?to<>nod with evergreens. The whole was a high compliment to the fine tasie and devotion of tho ladies who plauned and so admirably executed the work. The services were solemn and appropriate to the d'?y. The sermon of the Hector, llev. 1'enj. A'lston, was a very superior and impressive discourse, and commanded the serious and constant attention of the large congregation from beginning to the end. The music was very appropriate and executed l<y the choir with fine tiled. Airs William Monro presided with her well known ability at the organ. Ukait. t'liruch?Mktiiohisi ?The chance'. and pulpit were very tastily decorate! wi ll choice tlmcts, the 3^1 vices were in spiritnd acc.-r l with tho solemn promptings of the christian's heart on remembering the gtvat day when the great sacrifice was made thrall munk'nd by tiie tlod inan. Approj riate service* were al-'o held in the I'rcsLyteri-.in and baptist churches The colored ehurchei were also profusely dee rated and the congregations observed the day with more than usual solnnnity. t-Xo" Hep rts from tlto Spartanburg Mass meeting la-t Saturday say it was quite a lively tiirair, in -oaui respects.

Grade.?Nee'ie Sartor. - - Jink Muiii.kv in Politics Aha in.?In The Columbia State ef last Saturday we found the proceedings of a negro Convention held in that city the night before and called to order by that old Radical negro politician June Motdcy. so well known in Union county as a political fire-brand during the good stca'ing time of negro domination in this State. The fGlowing is the charac (eristic speech o! .M Hiicy ou opening Iuc convention : He ?il. it scenic 1 -tr.ingc for colored men to assemble a' so late a day; they acknowledge that tbey h id been asleep. lis bad 1 inked ovci the situation and lie had come to the conclusion that it was suicide to themselves and their children to remain asleep- He had noticed the methods of the people in power, who eared nothing for them hut for their isxc and labor. Ho wanted everybody to know that June MoW*; was I.; j-iti.-iied with the government as it was. lie had prayed, and then he felt it was his duty to go to every man and catch him by the shoulder and wake him. 'l'hey had been going backward. He said that John Gary Kvans had won his applause by saying that no race of people was any race at all unless they participated in politics. The great need of their race was to think, fVe are no*, here tu defeat the present nominees, hut wo want some share in the government and want to let till know that we are dissatisfied with the past government. It was the duty of the \ color*, d people, he siid, to pay off and discharge ministers who Woii'd not lead them to ihe ballot box, ?s well as to hciven. He wanted to be a broken-down politician, rather than a tack-out politcian. lie had nothing to say aga ust Mr. Sloan. While the object of the convention appears to he c intiue l to affect the mimic pal giv- i eminent, we sincerely ii pe the white peop'eofth it city, irrespective of party affiliation. will completely scdeli (lie move that it will not le able to inject ii- poison into State and County po ities again. corresp 'iiucnce 01 ttie 11mr.s.

(\, March - $ ?From a z'.:v Jpuint jijoveruor Tillman's ?ccent visit to Washington appenrs have been a failure. After consultniion with his friemls and his foes in the city, 1 am impressed with the belief that ho came here to learn what Captain Shell proposes to do in (In? coin ing campaign. I am iinformed by one of the Governor's friends tliui he is considerably annoyed over the situation at home. The Governor suspects thut something is going on under the surface with which he is not familiar. Those who have heretofore consulted him about every move they intended to make now nici him with a mys'erious, for away expression, and refuse to give hiin their entire confidence. This is exasperating to Governor Tillman. As he has recently been in the habit of dictating to ethers, it is morn or less humiliating to him to be treated with something akin to contempt by those who were but a short lime ago supposed to be bis abject fol'owers. It is said here thut the Governor suspects t'ap'aiu Shell of further political ambitions, which may intcrlore with his plans for retching the senate. Captain Slioll will no' admit that he has either gubernatorial or s-nai rial nspirnt oif, but in talking with his personal fiiends lie does not hvsitate to say that lie d tes not intend to let Senator Irtiy have a second term in the senate, if he can prevent it. It wis to ascertain Captain Shell's intentions that prompted the Governor to come on to Washington, lie made a blutf about the whiskey bu-incss, and then made a formal call upon Captain Shell. The Governor was disposed to be very communicaiivo mid he was at times playful in his conversation in It's efforts to smoke out- the crafiy captain. The latter maintained a discreel and exasperating silence, un I geuerouslv allowed the Governor t > do most of the talking. I lie result "f the consultation wus a water haul,' us they say in the fishing season, and the Governor failed to get the cv|.tsiin to show his hand. The Governor is probably aware by this time that Captain Shell will tin sit up late at night to help liira defeat Senator Itii'ler for the Senate The Captain may decide to keep hands of. In conversing with .a friend on this subject recent y he stated that so fir us Ins personal preference he warns to see Senator Hut lor returned to the senate > n his merits, lie and l?nt!er have been warm personal friends since IS'11. when tho la ter spilled his blood side by side with Captain i Shell. Since lie cime to congress be bos maintained the most cordial personal relations with Senator liutler, nnd ilie coming contest ov? r the senatorship will not interfere with their pleasant relationship. In spite of all that is said to the contrary, Senator Irhy and Governor Tillman are simply maintaining a perfunctory political friendship. 15 tli men appear to be suspicious of cadi other. While the Governor was here it it :-aid that lie remarked to one of his confidential friends that Irby is "a dead card" in South Curolini politics, and at the proper time he will bo dropped out of the de-id box.'" It is said that Sen it >r Irhy is equally confident that the Governor is 1< sing lit> popu arity in the State, and ho ?s > . 1 !;.-l iisi' i to follow li in blindly in the pendin?r crisis. In other wonh, the tioTcrnor e'insiders Senator Irby .1 "political Jonah," anil Senator I thy itnugiucs that the tiorernor'n luck has ch ingcd. it is notice ible at litis ctol of the line that Seiiat >r Irhy does not cut such an important figure with the other members of the Smith t'nroliiia delegation now as he <1 i<l it the 1111 in^r of the prcs-nt cotigre-s.
