This is a convenient theory for Mr. [loge and his confecres, but it Is just preoiself the'oirC of reform the people do not waut. We consider the crilroism~by "R" of Col. Aiken's speech, too harsh. We attribute to himi merely a laok of judgment, not a lack of honoi. Col. Aiken, we dgubt not, will on his return, explain his speech and reply to his critics. We aro heartily sick of the niatter and shall say nothing more about it. GOn. Frank P. Blair is dead. le has been in feeble health for sowe time. The expoiiment of transfus. ing blood was tried, upon him several times with apparent success. Hic death was causcd by a fall in passing from one room to another. Striking his ic a'l, he was rendcred insensible and died in a few hours. lie was-a general under Sherman and a candidate for the vioe-presi deney on the Seymour ticket. He wrote the Broadhead lotter, denouno. ing the amendments, and also prophesied thaL Grant would novej leave the White House except foct foremost. The remarks made by *Col. Aiket concerning lien cotton, in his addresp to he Granges, lias attracted con sidejablo notice, and he has beev contured for it, very properly, we think. "Amious" in the News and Courier of the 13th inst., defends (101. Ailien by expressing a doubt whether le was properl reported. lie also wishes to know when the addrdss was delivered, as Col. Aiken has been absent from the 8tatt "eevoral weeks." There is no0 doub,t that Col. Aiken delivered an address to the Grange of Fairfield on the last Saturday in Juno, and that in this address be 'referred to the defrauding'of mier chants by the farmers. We made thle most charitable report' possible. In fact we wore accused of having "whitewashed" Col. -Aiken. We assorted that we did not beljeve Col. Aiken properly expressed his views, for we cannot conceive how lhe or any other honorable man.could offer a ih advice, both dishonest and' dan gerous. We regret to be comlpelled again to allude to this matter, but we do so in our own dofee. CJo!. Aiken cannot, nor will ho.deny having maade the remalrk lreported, and he can only thank the NEWs that it made the remark appear in the best possi ble light for him. (Col Aikeni can defend bin self. W'o trust he wit! explain ils posi. tion for his own sake and that of, the (Jrar.geru of whomn ho is the ho ad in tis State. .Even the l'ope of Rome is not uiversally considered infallible, and Col.

But two wrongs cannot make a right; and oven if the ilal~nter consid.or himuseli gonged, -he must aibido 'by the con. seqiuences of signing a written in. strunment with his eyes open. We have' no fear whatever that CJol. Aikeni's unfortunate -vemark will influence any farmer to "run'" his cotton. And we 'onliy give proineiincei to It in order to *arn Col.

Gon. John S. Preston, of tPs oite, was selected to deliver the Semi!Cen. tennial address before the studebts of the Virginia lniversity. ilo delivered the oration, $hich wis eloqiohi and.highly,"polihd. But he had,oh'odon the *rong sbjet, ap4 however beautiful' the )roes he spread before his'atidienco, iho" eould not conceal the serpent ly1ig beneath. Instead of choosing. some:topio u#1on which all men danagrep, lQ preferred to contrast the oivilis4tioa of ,Py mouth Rook with that of -James.town -"the puritan 9ond head' ith the dashing cavalier. He deqounod the former with great bitterdoes, and vir tually said there was no goodj no hofor, n'Orth. of M4son and Dixon's line. He *as very bitter, and showed that uncompromising hatred to eOery thing in the North which well suited the days of secession, Undying hatred was his theme. This was unfork'uato in the ex' treme, and the priator soon disooVored the facL in the coolness of his budi. ence, who'liowed by their conduct that they repudiated him. It IOWSt .have ben a severe mortillcation, Yut he broughb it upon himself. We doubt not he was sincerej andi that every word may have.egme from his heart. But if he found that he could not attune his harp to the present condition of affairs, he should have been silent, knowing that Any other course would tend to tear open' old wounds afresh. He was impolitic, and in behalf of ou' p,eople we ropu. diate his 1sen1tiUm01m%. But furthermore his assertion was not true. He believed it to be true or he would have scorned, to utter it. But he was mistaken. It is foolish and narrow-minded to assort that there is no good in the North, and that the Plymouth Rook oivilisation.is all a mass of corrup blono Maabaohusetts is a grani 8tate. 11cr people are of the bluest blood, and her aristocracy is one also of in t ellect. Many of the purest moral ists most devoted Christians trace their pedigree back to the Mayfiower. Many of the brightest intelleots of America also climh Plymouth Rook is their orado. In science, art, lit erary and statesmanship, Plymouth Rook civilization has shared the ken. ors with the Jamestown, civilization. And he is narrow-minded and bigoted who cannot see this. Injustice alway creates a sympathy for its object, and weakens its own cause. And Gen. Preston, by this blunder, has aidedl tha civilizationi which he so ahhors. He has also furnished ground for the assertion that the Jamestowvn civ'illsation is~ an inferibr civilisation, as .it produces types of exceeding narrrowness of mind. As the News and Courier remarks, Gen. Preston's oration was out of ti:ne and out of tune. Ten years have passed since the war. 'A new generatiois has come upon the stage, and new issues are springing up. T1here should aow be no sectional difference,. All the South wants is justice, and ahe is fast learning that Injustice to the North is a poor way of obtaining it. Bour bone and the unreconstruoted must take a back seat.

As we criticIsed Comptroller Gen 'ral Dunn's connection with Hardy olomo'n's defunct ba11k, we will pub. ianh the following letter written by imn to the News & Courier. CoLumA, 8. 0. July 9, 1875. 'o the IC~ditor of the Netw. & Courie. In your paper a few days ago i noticed an editorial in which you lade some comments upon my having eon appointed receiver of tihe South )arolina,Bank and Trust Company, f this city, anid also of, my h aving afluenoed the governor to vote with me to put mnore' the State fund8 oni eposit with that bank previous to it, uspension. 'As I have since seen he same statements repeated in the Vinnsboro News in oarser langu'age, amn impelled to depart from my sual rule not to contradiet newspa per tatements regarding my official ca. net, except as mny official recordi ay of itself show the inorrectness f such statements, and to reqjueat on to afford me apace in your eel ums > say, in brief, that so far as thne do osit in the South Carolhna boo~k end 'net colnpany of state funds isn con srned, the first report made to me ficially by that bank, after I be imno comptroller-general, showed a alance of $183,000, placed there y Mr. Cardoza. as state treasun or, nd, as I am informed by his own olition. I did vote in April with 10 governor, at 8 mfeeting of the. naunoial board, to increase the de osit to $200,000, 'and let it remain util lest of July, when it was to be rawn upon to pay the July interest pon the publi.i debt. Under 'the, roomstances as they then existed I. slieved it.right to vote as I did,-and presume the governor'f'elt theusermo. ertainly we neither uf -us had any nason to beliove that the bank was any danger, and if Mr. Cardozo It, as he now declares he did, that no failure of that bank was -ong a iestlOn of time why was it that 'ho at *180,000 there before I went to office * You say ydu are informed thatl1 as, as a senator a warm, advocate of s bill to make this bank -an'd the ar'olinar national the sole banks of npoei% which bill t-he governor ntoed.

Rospectfully, Tnos 0. DUN1. Mr. Dunn alluds to the coarseness of the article of the. Winnaboro NaWs. We' have reperused the article referred to.and fuil to discov. er -its coaraness,'save in one senteroe, and in that the"coarseness" wob unin. tentional. The sentence is as fol lows - 1r. Dunn has been appointled re ceiver, and this fGct taken in con. nection with his former crimes, gives the whuleaiffa;r a fi!!y odor." The word "erime" is a typograph ioal error. It was written "course." The absence of the editor is the rea son why this error hits not been cor rected before. We had no intention to criticiso Mr. Dunn so sevetely. On the contrary ag far as. we know, his is the cleanest record of any in the republican party. But sad- experience has compelled us to view the acts of every offioial with suspicion, and for this reason. we called upon Mr. Dunn to explain bis connection with the bank. The fticts are these : Mr. Dunn supported a bill making 8olomou's bank one of two deposi. tories for the public funds. Mr. Dunn voted for an increase of deposits v;nd the dep, sita wore in creased. SAir. Dunn is accused by Treasurer Cardoza and others who should know with being interested in the bank This he denies in the above letter. 4Ir. Dunn wans appointed receiver of the bank. Here Are several circumstances, of no great importanco taken separate ly, but which, when taken in connee tion with each othor, 'undeniably do create suspicion. And us oustod iana of the public good, it was our duty to demand an explanation. It is true that Governor Uhamberlain did vote an for increase of deposits. But we have never been informed that he wvas previously connected with Solocnon's bank, nor was he appoint, ed receiver. Had be been, we should have made of him also a polite request to explain. Mr. Dunn's statements do-not tally exactly .with those of Mir. Card oza. The latter states that he endeavored to convince Mr. Hoege first and then Mr. Dunn of the financial unsound. ness of the bank, but the nttemDt was in vain. The former was com'p. troller, general when the deposits were increased fromn $25,000, to $160,000. lie a's,na.;s. ''When Mv. Dunn became comp trbller..general lhe made a motion at a meeting of the board to iuncrease this amount to $250,000, expressing the utmost confidence in the sound ness of Slr. Solomnon'i bank ; bt' Governor Chamberlain refuseod to vo'te for this mnotion. I know he ha'd by this time becombe thoroughly alarmod at the -onditiion ocf :t,ris bank-, and *diild only 'Oonsent 'to iir. e'reese theumbtrl -from $l69oc,0 to $20;000,'in the hope -given heim by the-rdea'ete4 and emphatii assu'rances of Mr. Salouron and his friends that with that aid he 'would bo enab-led to tide over the i'mpending criais.

And it is a-ays safe to keep watoh upion them..! ;Many an offiIial ia'kiipi ',i the path of reotitUde by:afear of .dti,oism. If he be honestle- need fear no critioism, as it aifords him an oppoILtunity to explain any aibiguot '-sot and thus vindicate himself. The people of the State bvo been very patient and hopeful, taking into their arnis (very oli.ial. so. .oon as he- pei foi no .ne. uetent act They have been to often dece:ived tiat they i"teund ltroa.^ttr to be on the alert and to scrutinize each act of every offloial. And those official. who grow restive under this surveil lance can easily resign and give place . to others not so sensitivo. The Winnsboro NEWS will continue, as one of the spokes. men of the people, to inquire into every ambiguous act of any official. We do not wish to be unjust to wards Mr. Dunn. We remember the part he has taken in scouring reform . We wish to think well of hi-%, and are happy to hear him say there is no fraud in his donnection with the bank. Aud we can esteem him inore highly after every cloud is removed. from round him than while his sets are enveloped in mystery. [6oMMUNICATICD.
