The Sons of Campaign of the Temperance. During the past week Mr. Edward Carswell tlie distinguished temper ance lecturer accompanied by Mr. Charles M. Douglas as State organizer lias lectured to crowded houses wher ever lie went. New divisions have been formed at the following places since tlie commencement of the tour: Prosperity, Ninety-six, Newberry, Greenwood, McCormick’s and Abbe ville with Greenville not yet fully organized and several others to hear from. Mr. Carswell is received with a cor dial welcome at every point and his lectures warm the hearts and capti vate the sensibilities of his large audi ences. He is justly regarded as the greatest living temperance lecturer on this continent and is frequently called the Canadian Gough as he closely resembles that famous orator in style and matter. Applications have been made for lectures from nearly every town in the State but ns Mr. Carswell’s engagement with the propagation committee was only for one mouth it is hardly probable that he will remain in the State longer than March iltb, unless other-ar- |t the hounds of propriety by >uso of those who disagree and this excessive zeal ^ces an unhealthy reaction detriment of the cause have nearest at heart. »d work has been done Pr.

Trenholm denies t icmen denounced the I’rcsident’s ac that he expressed to Gen. Sherman or anybody else any gladness for the march to the sea. Comptroller Trenholm never enter- aiued a thought in common with .vhat Gen. Sherman declared. We are glad to hear this. Gen. Sherman may have been at Ids old'ganie of prevarication. He lias the floor. It is superfluous to say that the Chronicle published what was report ed of Mr. Trenholm in sorrow, and that the denial is given gladly. Is Gen. Sherman still maintaining Gen. Wade Hampton’s opinion of him? Hampton once remarked that “Sherman was the biggest liar in an army that contained John Pope.” It seems to us that it would he in order for the Augusta Chronicle to give its authority for the report which it published. It is rather indefinite to say that it “published what was re ported of Air. Trenholm in sorrow,” and then let the matter drop. It should give its authority to show that it had a reasonable foundation for tlie state ment and the accompanying remarks. Upon the authority of the Chronicle the matter has been extensively cir culated and commented on, aigl it is due to the public as well as Mr. Tren holm that the Chrdniclc should pro duce its authoritv. tion of this subject iu terms more em phatic than complimentary, but at that stage of the proceedings talking could avail nothing.

Just here emneranee lecturers too often W e would earnestly request our friends of the press to impress upon the pub lic that although these lectures are free Mr. Carswell is almost emirely dependent upon voluntary collections to defray his expenses and remuner ate him for his time and labor.

So far the financial results have been unsatisfactory, bare ly sufficient to pay expenses. We speak oxelusjvolv^of Mr. Carswell as Mr. Douglas is sent out under the commission of the Grand Worthy Patriarch of this jurisdiction and proper provision lias been made for him from the treasury of the Grand Division of this State.

A for Mr. Trenholm. The Macon. Ga., Telegraph and Messenger say - editorial ly: Recently a Southern society has been formed in New Y»»rk city. It had its first annual feed and oratory on the night of February 22d. After reading the proceedings we are forced to a confession of disap pointment. There was nothing de veloped of which Southerners have any special reason to he proud. Bui about tlie same time other societies were feeding and talking, and now and then a Southerner paid for Id.- plate 1>3 t a postprandial effort. At the dinner of tin* Board of Trade of New York General Sherman was called upon to give Ids experience of “Marching through Georgia.” Thin is the General’s best piece, lic always enthuses over tlie recoil eel ion of the unopposed raid from Atlanta to Sa vannah, when the swords of his war riors were nighty- flashed on tlie con tents of the smoke houses of Georgia planters, when burning mansions dimmed the ra3‘.s of bis camp-fires, and when the loot was rich and the danger naught. On this occasion he is thus quoted: “But, as a man said to me to-night, He was shown into tlie President’s room, adjoining tlie Senate chamber, where a committee from House and Senate received him and formally announced that Congress was read3‘ to adjourn sine die Clerks and mes sengers hurrie 1 in and out with meas ures requiring his approval, and while , bis Cabinet stood around and con-j he had been able to bring his prisoner versed with the Congressmen present j away so successfully.

So f ar ! him, whether justly or unjustly only two other decent South Carolin- 1 h it that ht inns have developed so great and 1111- neeessary an appetite for humble pie as Mr. Trenholm exhibited at that banquet. It may he news to them and him, hut such Uriah Heeps are regarded by the straight out Democ racy of this State as but little betier, if any, than the scalawags of ten years and over ago. as »e chief cause of war the constitutional leMion of the right of -teossion, which lestion, until settled bv wax, had neither! r . * ight nor wrong side to it.

How could we respect Hth if it were to say now that it was I ori Saturday ni ,r ht. lacerc then, or if it were to pretend the cuds and blows of war had changed fcohviction as to the true interpretation I he Co’fcuitution as originally adopted. 8ureK fwith the authority of Jctlerson Madison in favor of the 8outhern view, Washington and Hamiltan in favor of Northern, each side can admit at least isincerity of the other.

Tourists, even those of America, goner- all’-' follow beaten routes, going here and there fci* no better reason than because tourists have been doing the same thing for generations. The mass of persons who decide to visit Europe do not make up their minds what they want to see or what is most worth seeing. They merely wish to travel in the same direction and in the same way, visiting the same places and having the same experiences that their fathers and grandfathers have done. Nineteen out of twenty tourists at this season go to London. Paris, run into Switzerland, descend the Ithinc, return to Paris by Brussels, reeros.s the channel to Liverpool and sail back home with the impression that they have exhausted Europe, or at least whatever is really in teresting. They make another journey, third and a fourth; hut they >ver the same ground. Their ' object is less to become aecmainted with j the oid world than to be able to say that I they have seen there. ' Until within a few years few tourists ' went to Holland and even now not one in a hundred goes to Span*. Some of the most curious ami attractive towns abroad, like l.avenna, Rimini, Siena, Prague, Chartres, Tours, Regensburg, Ixmvain, Burges, Liege, though on the regular routes, are neglected because the ordinary traveler ha ; not cared to visit l hem. If a man can go to Europe hut once, and is limited a - to time and money, he must do tlie he-1 he can. Hut why need he repeat his narrow experience again and again when he can jast as easily and cheaply have new? generally, however, it is not those with small means who travel so stupidly; it is they who have ample in come.ami are pursuing the phantom fash ion. Of the thousands and thousands of cur compatriots who have gone abroad this year how very small will be the pro portion that will come back with fresh ideas or any actual stock of added knowl edge?—New York Commercial Adver tiser.
