Lamoqt, the private Secretrety and confiden tial friend of Mr. Cleveland. It was predicted by some that Mr. Cleveland would be driven to distraction by im portunity for office from hungry Dem ocrats in all portions of the Union, especially in the South. To the credit of the country and of the Democratic party ip particular Col. Lamont says that {n all the correspondence that reaches.Mr. Cleveland, “there are but few references to office,” and he ac counts for it in the following manner: “I belive it is mainly because mem bers of his party do not wish to em barrass the Governor. They want hks administration to be a success. They want It to result iu the betterment of the whole country, and, though the times are hard and men want places out of which they can make a living worse than they have for many years, the Democrats havp pride enough to make them wajt, and allow things to take thpir natural course, Of course the Governor’s civil service letter had its effect. It was supported with great vigor and unanimity by the press all over the country, which was alone sufficient evidence of the pooular sen timent on the subject. I do not be lieve there is anything like the pres sure qn the Governor tnat there would paye been orj Mr. Blaine, had he been elected, It is understood that Mr. Blaine and his friends made a great many promises which they would Jiave been called upon to fullfil.” This is a splendid showing for the great Democratic party, and espe cially for the South, which has been for twenty years the camping ground of itinerant shystering politicians, who havp swept (Jown upon our sun ny land, usurping tho wctL^Wrom- ciaj positions of the General Govern ment, tq the exclusion of those to the manner born. We have borne all tills and piore with dignity and for bearance, and ypt “there is no mad rush for office.” We glory jn the fortitude and man hood of our people, and quietly thank (Jod that the day of judgement is near at hand for these itinerant politi cal shysters. South Carolina contains too many true and honorable men to have the reproach continued upon her, of importing political vagabonds from other States to fill offices of trust within her borders.

Gaston in these columns, when he paid his license for 1883, but shirked the payment of his license for 1881 and 1882, as the Treasurers’s books will show. We claim that morally a^d legally he noM’ owes Aiken County $200, the aggregate amount of license for those tu-o years. Why all this dodging and ill-nature? Why not admit the facts like a man, and go up to the Treasur er’s office and pay his just dues like a law-abiding citizen ? Mr. Gaston was generous enough in not instituting a criminal prosecution before the grand jury, but Mr. Chat- field seems not to have appreciated his kindness. We also charged that he successful ly evaded the payment of a liquor li cense to the town for eight or ten years, until he was forced to take out a license by an ordinance passed Feb ruary. 18th, 1880, during the Intenden cy of Mr. Henry Hahn. If these are pot fac ts, why does not he or some body else deny them? In regard to the discrimination made in his favor by the present council, M’e refer both him and our readers to the very practical common sense views contain ed in a communication from a cor respondent, signing himself “Another Observer,” which appears in another column of this issue. LETTER FROM “ANOTHER SERVER.” Oli- who was then in command of the reg ulars being transported from the Baton Rouge arsenal to the northern side of the line. Mr. Sherman said: “Mr. Richeson, I had you M-aked up to ask if you would be kind enough to take charge of the corpse of one of my men and have the body decently interred?” Mr. Richeson told him lie would. He then asked the Major what lie thought of the situation. “Do you think there will be Mar, Major?” Mr. Sherman said: “Mr. Richeson, I am afraid there will be trouble,” arid then added, (in substance): “I have spent many years, in the South, where I have received only the kindest treatment, and before I 'would fight against those people I would lose my right arm.” Mr. Richeson says he is curious to know whether General Sherman remembers this interviews Gen. Stieriyau’sajuemoryiaaodefTec- tlvo tliaf he may not call to mind ei ther Mr. Richeson or the M-ords he uttered. It would be quite in keeping to deny them, or to say that he uttered them, in a double sense, as he made a false charge against Wade Hampton. As quite pertinent in this theme, the “World” reminds the bloody- shirt bomb-proof M'arriorsof the Sen ate that Jeft'erson Davis “served his country Mell in peace and in Mar. He won honor in the forum wounds on the fields of battle. He served for sixteen years in Congress, in the Sen ate and in the Cabinet Mithout be coming a millionaire like John Sher man.” And that “perhaps if Mr. Davis, instead of leading the life of a private citizen, had lent his name, M’hich beyond doubt has a certain in fluence,^ a firm of Wall street brokers, and had voted the Republican ticket, he would have been courted by the politicians who now hold him up as a scarceroM' and lash themselves into fury whenever his name is men tioned.” We commend these statements to Hon. John Life Without a Newspaper. Some of our readers have no doubt heard the story about the man who once upon a time got mad at the edi tor and stopped his paper. The next Meek he sold his corn at 4 cents be low the market price. Then his prop erty was sold for taxes, because he didn’t read the sheriff's sales. He was arrested and fiued $8 for going hunting on Sunday, and he paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised two weeks and the public cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a big Irishman, M ? ith a foot like a forge hammer, to kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where lie paid four years’ subscrip tions in advance and made the editor sign an agreement to knock him down and rob him if lie ever ordered his paper stopped again. Such is life without a newspaper. bprn among us and have the interests pf their fellow-citizens at heart. New Cure lor Alcoholism. The National Druggist says: “Dr, Fleiscfri, of Vienna, declares that morphinism, alcoholism, and similar habits cap now bo cured rap idly and painlessly by means of eocain chloride. The method is very simple —a withdrawal, either gradual or ab rupt and complete, of the habitual in toxicant, and treatment of the ner vous and other symptoms which arise thpppfrom by means of hypodermic injections of the cocain, He claims that in h*n 'lay* a cure may be effected |u a«»y case. Tiie dose of cocain chlo ride, hypodermically, is from ofte- twelfth to one-fourth of a grain, dis solved in M ater, repeated as often as Accessary.” Jf the above statement is correct, it WPqlf} doubtless be a good plan to pass a Jaw providing for the compulsory treatment of the whole population of some of our towns in this State with this drug during Court M-eek and on public liqlidaj’s. Such a course M ould pave prevented the recent brutal and deadly assault made upon Capt. W. B* Brunson, at IMgcfield Courthouse, by several men under tho influence pf liquor, and would doubtless save piany valuable lives and the commis sion of many minor offences. Worth Trying. It spems that General Grant, al though he has been an inveterate Smoker for more than a quarter of a pentury, consuming from ten to fifteen cigars a day, of the strongest kind, has recently abandoned the habit upon the recommendation of his phy sicians, without seriqqs difficulty or inconvenience. In view of this fact we think it M’ould be a most admirable idea if Gen. William Teoumseh Sherman M-ould try to shake off his abomina ble habit of telling the most wanton and astounding lies, to the detriment of his personal reputation and the an noyance and confusion of his friends. ] Although a difficult habit to shake off, when it has reached the chronic stage, as in Gen. Sherman’s case, yet possi bly earnest and determined effort might be reu arded with success. A few utterances of the truth may shock his nervous system at first, bqt it is pot impossible that after repeated trials he iqay gradually get accus tomed to the peM’ sensation. The Hon.

R. IV Vnameltl s Course—Fair Play Advocated, and a Pertinent Question Asked. Editor Aiken Recorder’. I notice in the columns of your pa per, a controversy between yourself and Mr. B. P. Chatfield. In tw r o of your articles you have charged that Mr. Chatfield failed to pay his license as a retail liquor-dealer, from a certain date tp a certain date, and Mr. Chat field has not iiot even attempted to disprove the charge; therefore, it seems to me that he has virtually admitted the charges to be correct and true. In the last issue of the Journal and Review, “Observer” comes to the front and eulogises Mr. Chatfield, and says he has done a great deal for the people of this Town and County, and that he has seen him M’hile a member of council, take hold of a rake or hoe 1 1 iV.tt'fcu « NuA-uV.y Jp-.yjK ■srmr.—o rrcrxriwm can ‘tTe TOE good Ja\V- abiding citizen that “Observer” claims him to be, and yet, fail to abide by the laws of the State, like auyother law abiding citizen. I have no doubt Mr. Chatfield has done a good deal for Aiken; but has he done it without re ward or the hope of reward? No. When he builds up Aiken he builds up B. P. C. also. Aiken has done much for Mr.Cbatfield,and if 1 am cor rectly informed is the onlj one out of three different ventures at hotel keeping in which he lias been success ful. So to my mind it is very ques tionable if Mr. B. P. C. has done more than a small fraction of the good for Aiken, which Aiken bus done for him. Mr. Henry Hahn has built rows of houses by that means,greatly enhanc ing the value of property, but he M as working not alone for Aiken, but for Mr. Henry Hahn’s personal and pri vate interests. Other men have the interests of ihe Town at heart as much as Mr.Chatffeld, and build houses and improve tTTcTFYrtT ! '^^irr _ fTr^ : ^h ; y^o«H- tributing to the general M’elfare; but these men pay their Town and Coun ty liquor licenses too. Mr. Chatfield is a public spirited man, but always has an eye open for B. P. C. I am not a prohibitionist neither am I high li cense man, but I am an advocate of fair play, and I do not. think it fair to make one man pay $300 for a retail liquor-dealer’s license, and then charge another $150 for the same priv ilege. This does not seem to me to be equal justice to all, but rather class councUlation especially when the original motion Mas in so many words to give “Mr. B. P. Chatfield a license at $150.” He saw the point, and suggested “hotel and boarding house-keepers,” another eye opener. I have nothing personally against Mr. B. P. Chatfield, though I cannot say so politically, however, this is not politics. If Mr. B. P. C. had paid his license like other men, then,there nev er would have been all this “flutter." Come up yo charitable law-abiding public spirited citizen, that “Observ er” claims you to be, and paj r up your hack license for 1881 and 1882,"ami stop all this "notoriety" and “flutter" business. Now, Mr. Regohder, I would like to ask just one question, which I hope you M ill reply to in your next is sue. Will the license granted Mr. B. P. Chatfield for the Highland Park, give him the right to sell liquor by the drink or bottle, at the Park Avenue Hotel? This is no snake .story, but an important question in which every tax-payer is interested, for if such is permitted by our authorities it Mill soon kill out the credit of both Town and County.
