As Major Dclany's nomination for Lieuten
ant-Governor by the Hollers is said to have
been based upon his integrity of character
as well as color, this chapter will be a sad
revelation to a good many well-meaning
pcri-'.ns, including the gal'ant and Godfcar

[From the Orangcburg Free Citizen Oct. 10."]
Some three years since as we wore
t-ave-ing on the Charleston District as
presiding Elder the eoloted people on
John's Island were making a great etfort to
build them a church, which was to be an
improvement on their log church known as
ibc "John Wesley Church." All of I heir
scanty earnings thev could securo for the
object, by their frequent collections for the
purpose, were deposited with a trustworthy
treasurer. Hut it so happened that the
T-caMirer died, ami Maj. M. It, Dclany was
ca.li ? toaei as one of the appraiser* of bis
property, lie found among other things
left by I be deceased, an envelope, carefully
marked "Church money," which contained
$'200. The Major appeared very anxious to
have the money saved, and gained the con
sent of t he woman in charge of tho preinis es
to let him have it fur safe keeping, giving
lo her bis receipt for the same. Soon aflor
Ihe TruMces of the church called to1- their
money, and (he woman told them that the
M'\jor had carried it away, and gays them
the receipt. They hastened to Charleston
to got their funds. Rut they were told by
the Major it was in the Bank: but they
were none the richer for this, as he gave
ihcm no means to get it. The trustee* tried
for a year to get their money, but to no
purpose. He claimed finally to have invested
iu county orders and could not get it for
them. As we subsequently attended a
quarterly meeting at this church the re
cuipi was banded us, that if possible we
might aid ihem in getting their money: and
we passed it over to Hon. J. R. Campbell, a
?eil known lawyer of Charleston, for collec
tion. He wrote a kind, gentlemanly letter
so tin" Major asking his n.tent:ou to ii, but
Oi he got nothing in return but Ion 1 talk
and worthless promises from the Major, of
which be has always a surplus, he sued for
i .- collodion, but without being able lo get
hold of any security for the debt.
Two years after this money was taken by
the Major we Mound t his church on John's
Is'and whorshiping in a new church bui Ill
ing, but hadh mbarrassed by debt. We
went again lo the Major to make a personal
appeal, and plead for this diilForing society
struggling under their difficulties?'o ask
or justice, not for mercy or charity. He
said be ought to pay it, ami aske 1 us l> i o
with Iii in to the clerk of court In Charles
ton. lie then requested the clerk to turn
over to our order $220 of a judgment in his
favor against the County of Cluirh'&'.oii,
which record we suppose was daly made.
Hut on calling upon the County Tre. Si.rir
he in lor med us that judgments I nd been
obtained nga list the Major that won d ? u
ti/ely cover his claim against th<* county
and would leave no margin for our poor
church. We then wrote tho Major as our
last resort, in Jims last, that if ho did not
scttlo the matter with our attorneys, Cump -
bell ami Whaley, wo should publish tho
facts involved in the caso. He wont finally
j and made another promise to pay, but no
guarantee, ami at last accounts he had
muilo no payment. Tlio Major has no cx>
cusc for thus deli born tely dol i au<Ln j a
poor colored church, as he had no business
with tho money lo keen *>r spvnd. If lie
ever designed or wished to pay it, he baa
had ample means as well as an ample ?ppo;'-"
t'unity. After the last State olection Gover
nor Moses paid him at one time the ?Um of
one thousand dollars for the noise he made
to .secure the Governor's election! In ad
dition to this, the Major has had a posittou
in the Custom House, on a good salary, by
which long before this he could have re
turned to this church the scanty savings
they bad gathered to build a house in which
to worship God.
The Hau?! ot JEwau.
It having been publicly charged by At
torney-General Mellon, aud others, during
the progress,of the present campaign, that
Senator Dunn, who is the foster-parent of
the G:een and Del.mcy movement, was in
favor of the payment of tho conversion
bonds and Blue Jlidge scrip, twin frauds
upon the Stato, that gentleman took occa
sion recently to deny it iu a way far more
emphatic than it was convincing to an un
prejudiced mind. His disclaimer has call
ed forth letters from Mr. Hardy Solomon,
the President of tho State Depositor/, and
Treasurer Cardoso; the latter of which lire
annex. As Mr. Solomon's communication
corroborates the Statements of Mr. Cardozo
r is'not necessary to publish it. To these
Statement we direct careful attention as
they are exceedingly significant. Were
Mr. Dunn simply a Senator, the publie
would care very little vh.it he thought of
ihe bond and scrip swindles, but as the
earnest kdvojato of both, uul, at the same
time, of a ticket representing which be unc
tous!y call "honest government" it. is worth
wlrlc, wc think, wc think, fir our Dc tio
craiic friends to en pure, wheth :r t'i ?y <: in
it il'o-tl to support nominations dictated to
them by him. The voice of Mr. Dunn call
ing for honest government in South t'irjli
na intiy be the "voice of Jacob," but the
band of Mr. Dunn feeling its way do wn in
to the vaults of the treasury is uudoubtcd
the "hand of Baa u."

South Carolina.
Sir.?In reply to yours of this dato, re
questing a written statement of tho conver
sation we held on the letters and report of
Senator T. (\ Dunn, I have the honor to
slate, that in the month of June last Mr.
Dunn made a report tome of what he con
sidered irregularities in the iseia of sovera 1
classes of the bo-ids authorized to bo fund ad
by the general assembly l ist winter:
1 learnt from you, and aftorwtrl.t from
himself, that hdjhad written yon ropietfin^
you to enjoin ntc ntiorestrain t!?o excel.ti?a
OtLtlloJulVk? ? ? ???*?- ? im"
The irregnbiriiies alleged are these. That
the bonds referred lo were authorized lo
be sold within twenty-four months after J the
passage of (he acts, and the he discovered
that the parties to whom the bon Is were hy
pothecated so'd theni after iho expiration
of the twenty four month", notwithstanding
the hypothecation look place beforo that
period; and tho State had received tho mon
ey authorized to he raisod thereon.
This struck mo as a very trifling reason
for so grave a step, and that at hns? so.ch
I an objection would be regarded as merely
I technical; and i.towing Senator Dunn quite
well from a close and careful observation
of his'character for the last two years in
the Senote, and'especially his conduct in
advocating the payment of the Blue Itidge
scrip last winter when he tried to revive
the subject even after the Legislature had
emphatically refused to pay it, 1 immedi
ately concluded that the allogjl reason was
a mere pretext, and that Senator Dunn ha 1
some ulterior object in view. If therefore,
set myself to work to find it out.
In conversing with Senator Dunn ouo
I day in my oilice, 1 asked what was his real
object in trying to prevent the execution of
the funding act. which I thought so benefi
cial lo the State. He said mho wished the
execution of the act delayed until, by sup
plemcu.iil legislation next winter, Iu "co i'd
gel the "conversion bonds" ?nnd iho "Bluo
Uidgo scrip" included iu the scitloinon.
In fun her conversation with Senator
Dunn. I inferred tha! this method was pur
sued to compel me lo withdraw my oppssi
tion lo these two swindles.
This conversation J afterwards communi
