The public, including myself, had been led by paper ut d rumor accounts, to believe that swindling robbery or stealing of pttblie nu u -ys. would Ivtvo been charged and p: 'uvelti. This was not done. Now, up n this kin] ur showing by tho con: mitteo, three of them appended a nsouuiiou to their ro port, to expel Andrews from his seat. In view of the Ban e showing, two of them appended to the ir report a rosolu tion recommending censure to be passed on him. Notv, for what ? No tn deuce to prove ideuco iu An die had traded ia like. Uufortuu |>ut many other charge of steulige, no crime. There was drews'- admission thut pay certificates und the' otely, not only ho, worthy citizens, merchants, &e., have dealt in these tradcablq papers to their financial injury. Thisi whole question waa elaborately discussed. The main point of difference bejing, whether to expel or censure. The vfot-j was takou to expel first. There were II') vot?B against exjjulsiun, of these there were 4 Con servative8, myself among thotn, and two of these were eminent Democratic lawyers; in favor of expelling thoro were 12 votes, three ol thcee^nrc Democrats, tho remainder, 9 are ltjcpublicans, two were absent. It would have taken 22 votes to h&ve expelled. Wo were expecting to voto on the resojution to censure the Senator. On this point thcro was considerable diebate whether to censure was equivuleut to expul sion or not. A few Senators thought it was not. 1 took my part iu this de bate, favoring the resolution to censure, aud clcsed by toying, "if I err in this voto I prefer to err on tho Hide of mercy nod justice, rather than soil my con science in aiding to fix infamy on a man and his family on unsatisfactory grouuds." In the confusion of the do bate, this resolution was withdrawn, aud the Senate adjourned, aud eo no direct vote was taken. * * :k * Well the News ami Courier is brought in this connexion. A word as to its sayings. They havo provod'themselves incompetent to make corroct roprosonta tions when I am in question. It makes mo say that I kriew that this pnpc,. would put at mo about this vote. This I did not say, as it was strJod. I ex pressed this idea, that if I had been the only Conservative voting with tho ma jority, 1 would havo a special uotioc, but as thcro wore iuoro I thought that not much would ho said. This was u reply to a question asked ? mo about it by some one. It eo turned out, ob usu al, in n manner to show kunfair feoliugs. Hut of mo they espoob nothiug," of course not. I hare fully provod te them - before now that I could not drink in that unrolenting bitterness which they aro too ready to manifest against those who inour their displeasure I see now that they aro beginuing to.criticise and censure tho Conservatives in- Some rja'r ticulars." J C HOPE [For mE OnANQEBCBO NsWS. 1 A Tonrnamcat. Editor Or angcbnrrj Ne\cs : ' I see in the JYacs and Courier of the 30th of December 1874, a correspond ence signed A M B,'which protends to give a detail of a Tournainent that enmu of! on that day at tho lovely and ploas ant little village of Hamburg. Now Mr. Editor, I thiuk that tho correspond cnt must have had something in viow more than Eome other persons who wit ne3sed the scene: I know for one that it is in several instances wrongly repre sented, for what purpose I do not know. Perhaps the correspondent is one of the fair sex and had gone there with the j expo3tation of being crowned Queen of love and bonuty. The correspondent snid that much ' di -satisfaction was caused in tho awarding of tho first prize, and that there was scar, e'y one pre sent but who was fully convinced that in prize it belonged to the gallant Knight oi tho West. Mr. Editor, this is a mistake, for I am fully convinced that the majority of tho spectators were of opinion that the Knight ofiheflook and Ladder was fully entitled to tho honor that was awarded htm; In the next place A M B sayB that in taking the ride over on account cf the twisted track he took three rings. I say ho only redo 1 or the one and took it. Thj judges then annouueed a tie between ?the .two Knights viz: Hook aud Ladder and the West. The next ride decided the question, tho Knight of the Hook and Ladder taking all three rings and the Knight of the West, I think, took only one. Mr. Editor I ram ot . think it possible that such honorable, straight forward gentlemen, as tho judges seemed to be, would be so much biased us to give an u .jut>t decision in nuy matter, especially buch an impor tant ouc as that was. Mr. Editor, allow nie in conclusion to give iny opin ion why A M B attempts to try to mistily the public and take the honor from one Knight and bestow it upoa another, aud that is this: His (or her) preference was so biased in favor of that sociable, pleasant, loving littlo village, that he (or she) could not bear for a Knight of Orangcburg County to huve the honor of bearing off the first prize. A SPECTATOR. A CAR1>. Numerous complaints with regard to the Post Office under my control, having come to my curs, it is duo to the public and to myself that an explanation be made. On account of bad health, which disabled me, ond on account of the loss oi the valu able services of Mr. J. S. Dull, who* system and ability, ensured my respect and con fidence in the entire managment of tho office, 1 was obliged to obtain a Deputy familiar with tho routine of business, aud securing Mr. Esokiej, removed the ?fficc to his store, that he might give the more undivided attention to it. Had Mr. Hull not reeeivod a better offer than I could afford to mako I would still have had hii valued help. And bad he remained with mo I would not have re moved tho office. Und my own* health bceu better, I might have seen less occasion to move the office. W. E. WILLIAMS, P. M. DISSOLUTION OP COPARTNERSHIP.
