Wc came on Tuesday into possession
ol*Hie following letter from Mr. J. Hen
drix McLane, which was, we pre -imo
from its contents, written to .Mr. W. W.
Russell, of lliis County, and which wc
think throws considerable Ugh' u|ion the
prisent political status in this Slate.
Tho letter is published precisely os it
was written, and is as follows :

Keb IO, 188:i
I'.BOTH EB RISMKIX
I wrote you a letter a few days ago in
reference to our State Committee meeting
on the 1*7th, bul ns I have a little leisure
time this morning will write you again.
Of course I know there is no usc for me
to urge thc necessity of a full meeting (?f
the committco Tor you are a man of too
much pood practicable sense lo think for
a moment that if it was not of the great
est necessity to have thc meeting now,
that Judge Willard und I would not in
sist on it. I have invited several others
who ure prominent i ti the work whose
names have not been added to the com
mittee till now to meet with us in con
ference.
I spent several days last week in Lex
ington & Aiken counties St can unsure
you that nearly every body is with us in
thc sections which i visited. I was at
Dr. Durham's & I toll you he has a fol
lowing in his community that amounts
to something, ami I am now convinced
that thc things told during thc campaign
on him arc at lenst sonic of them only
Bourbon fabrications, for he certainly
ntands well nt home, and is hard at work
A: says he is willing to work on without
pny or tho promise of pay St be St his
son I think will both take stock in our
paper & the Doctor says he believes be
can raise $o00 or ?10UU dollar:-* in his
county for the same purpose, so you see
that is some thing very important ut
once.
Now I hope you will write to as many
of thc Stute committee or any others
who you wish to meot us on the 27th us
you can conveniently do to bc sure to
attend tho meeting as it is all important
to have as much good counsil as possible
nt that time.
I am here for u day or two with Dr.
Kelly, he is all right and so is u v iry
large majority of thc good people of idiis
section. I expect to go from here over
to Georgetown to sec Maj. Macuskernnd
others in that county before I return to
Columbia, and may be able to go through
Dr. Bowen's county on my way back,
the last of next week I thiuk I will go
to Fcastcrville St will come down to Co
lumbia on .Monday 26th, if so will ex
pect to meet you at Alston on that even
ing.

Yours for better government
J. HENDRIX McLANE.
The uhovo letter was written, it will bo
seen, as the result of conference between
Judge Willard and Mr. McLane on the
16th of February, 138!t, preceeding the
meeting of tho Greenback Executive
Committee, which took placo on the
27th of that mouth. Mr. Russell ?H
chairman of the Greenback Committee.
Judge Willard is not a member of the
Committeo, but is ono of the United
States Assistant Attorneys to prosecute
Democrats in South Carolina. A short
timo after III?B conference thc outrageous
political prosecutions were begun. They
have been instituted in thc Counties
where Mr. McLane baB somo few follow
ers, and are evidently dictated by the
Greenback party, after a conference with
Judge Willard. This letter is shrewd in
that it doo? not put into ink tho real pur
poses of meeting in Columbia, but it
contain!; enough to establish the purpose.
They were called to meet on tho 27lh
Of February because the ABsistaut
United States District Attorney and Mr.
McLane insisted that it was "of the great
est necessity" for them to have the meet
ing at that time.- Thia summons secured
the meoting, and it is followed by whole
sale arrests in the Counties HUCII Green
backers as McLane, Cash and their
friends have the acquaintance necessary
to institute the prosecutions. The Re
publicana, also, seem to be taking unu
sually little interest in the prosecutions.
It is the Greenbackers who are promi
nent in procuring the arrest of peaceable
men, simply because they are Democrats.
Mr. McLane's letter is not good Eng
lish, its spelling is not correct, and it is
punctuated in e most original manner.
He is evidently'a mun lacking in the
quali?cations either for leadership or
successful management of public affairs.
It ia supremely ridiculous to think of the
man who wrote this letter aspiring to be
Governor of South Carolina. There ia
not a first grade common Behool in the
State that would not be capable of giv
ing Mr. McLane a hard, thiugh profita
ble, course of study. This is the man
ibo Greenbackers wanted to make Gov
ernor, and who now signs himself to
"Brother Russell" "yours for better gov
ernment." This idea of better govern
ment seems to be the prosecution of
honest? Democrats, because they do not
see fit to help degrade their State by
making a man like him her chief execu
tive officer. We do not know whether
"Brother Russell" attended this Green
back conspirators' meeting or not, but for
tbe sake of bis reputation we trust be
did not attend it, and that be bas not
part, parcel or sympathy with the pres
ent outrageons,and infamous conduct of
the Greenback lartj. We shall bo
greatly surprised if Mr. Russell, although
Ha arma unr>ti a ?c??pic?OU? Qr??Db?CkAr
last year, continues bis association with
men who are rendering themselves so
infamous as thaw who are stirring up
the prosecutions that are now waged in
tba United States Courts of tbls State.
It ia time for Mr. Russell to see the error
of lils, wayo, and leave the Greenback
party now and forover.

of tho validating ucl, necessary to raise

can issue bonds to raise the amount she

meetings along thc line, where tbe people
Will bc addressed by able speakers, lo
stir them up t?# the importance of mak
ing private subscriptions to insure the
building of the road. At tho ind ting of
the stockholders la.-t May, Mr. IC. I!
Murray, supported by a part of the rep
resentatives from Anderson, believing
that additional funds would be necessary
to place ihe road in u condition where il
could be mortgaged tu complete it,
ottered a resolution directing tho Board
of Directors tu receive competitive bids
from the several lines surveyed, and to
locate the road upon the line which
would bc ultimately cheapest and best
for ihe company. The object nf ibis res
olution was to open lip bidding- between
the I ?or n's Mine and ihe Troy roule-,
which would certainly induce nu inter
? st on the part of Augusta, ami perhaps
of Charleston. It was also expected to
make those points which necessitated ?tn
increase nf distance and expense pay
something lo thu extra burilen their ac
commodation is to place upon (lu- road,
?ts, for instance, reaching thu incorpora
ted limits of l.owudcsvillc lengthens tin
line some two miles, and adds heavily
the cost of construction. Il wa? then
understood that Augusta would give
twenty-five thousand dollars, and Mr.
McCormick len thousand dollars, mak
ing in all thirty-live thousand dollars to
secure the location ?if the road to McCor
mick's instead of Troy. The passage ol
lil ose resolutions were expected to sec uri
ample funds from competing interests t<
have easily graded thu road, aller which
il could have been bonded and rapidl)

believe, owing lo misconceptions of theil
purpose, voted down by a large majority
Shortly after tho meeting a co m m ?tte?:

Hilt Til'?MAri MoltE :
Mu Dear I'???'' -My last letter wa?
devoted to the beoeficent effects of the
extension of education among the people
Hut my statements, though really true,
were nevertheless unfair, because I omit
ted tu mention the handmaid, ur the
twin-sister, whose accompanying pres
ence gives to education all her power for
good. Educated vice is simply vice en
dued with fearful power for harm ; ami,
if thu promotion of public morals had
not kept pace with th?! dissemination of
public intelligence, the money spent in
education would better have le en hoard
ed in the public treasury,
Kntertaing these view.-?, many of our
best citizens looked with alarm ami op
position Upon the educational plain of
the government, because they supposed
that the suppression of vice, except as
lo the punishment of crime, lay beyond
the province of the law, After patient
ami earnest study of this difficult prob
lem, it was ascertained that about nine
tenths of the crimes brought for trial
before the Courts were directly traceable
to the immoderate use of ardent spirits.
It was argued therefrom thal this bever
age tended to foster vice in somewhat
similar proportion.
Its tendency was found to be lo de
throne reason ; to incapacitate for relia
ble work, whether manual or mental ; to
make its victim petulant, quarrelsome,
unmanageable, dangerous ; lo blunt thc
liner sensibilities of the heart no as to
induce a loving husband to maltreat a
faithful wife and a fond lather to neglect
ai.d abu- ?? his inoffensive children ; to
stir up strife among uear neighbors, and
disturb the peace of whole communities;
lo stimulate to deeds of dishonesty, inde
cency, violence, and death ;-and al! this
at such cost ?ni to bring thousands ol
wealthy men to bankruptcy, and humbler
citizens to penury and starvation. These
evils, enormous, incalculable, not com
pensated by any corresponding benefits,
continued to grow and spread among our
people, until lhere was hardly a house
hold in the land entirely free from tho
dire influence of the demon of drina*.
Suddenly and almost simultaneously,
our people determined that, If this mon
ster evil were abolished, and universal
sobriety could be attained, prosperity
and peace would dwell in a'.lour borders!
and vice ami crime would hide their ugly
beads. The Constitution of the Utopia
i government was amended by adopting
an Article entirely prohibiting the man
facture or sale of ardent spirits as a bev
erage in the nation. What lillie is
needed in medicine and the arts in manu
factured and sold by government agents
under well devised regulations so strin
gent that tho indiscriminate use of spirits
as a beverage is virtually un impossibili
ty
Since the adoption of this amend
ment, the wholo face of society is
changed. Villages in which the air was
tilled with oaths and obscenity, are
new attractive resorts for the virtuous
aud pure. Houses where the anxious
wife and children dreaded night be
cause it brought the drunken husband
home, now shelter inmates happy in the
exercise of mutual love. Jails and asy
lums once crowded with unhappy
victims are almost always empty now.
Millions of dollars that would have been
spent for rum aro now employed in
remunerative enterprises, or devoted by
benevolent contributors to the general
good. Railroads, factories, libraries,
colleges, churches, spring up like magic,
and flourished everywhere. AU thal
dignities and ennobles humanity thrives
and abounds throughout our happy land.
This change was nut accomplished
without iulensest opposition. What was
kuown as tho liquor interest had grown
to immense proportions. Many millions
of dollars were invested, and many thou
aand men were engsged, in the rnsnufue
ture and salo of the various kinds of
intoxicating beverages. To give up
their business very naturally seemed to
them to be disastrous ; and they used
every practicable effort to prevent the
amendment to the Constitution. Hut,
after they were defeated, and the change
took place in tho condition of affairs,
they Boon found that they could turn
their capital into other channels equally
remunerative, more pleasant to them
selves, and not injurious to society at
large. And so, the most of them aro not
only reconciled to the change but actu
ally glad that it has been effected.

Death of Postmaster General Howe.
KENOSHA, WIS., March 25.-The Hon.
T. O. Howe, postmaater general, died at
2.20 p. m. at the residence of his neph
ew, Col. Jas. H. Howe. He contracted
a severe cold a week ago at Green Bay
and relumed to Kenosha. He was very
ill till Saturday when ho seemed to im
prove, ilia physicians pronounced his
ailment pneumonia. Ho was taken
worse on Saturday night and b?*ik rapid
ly, passing away peacefully tbii after
noon.
Mr. Howe was born in Livermore,
Me., February 7, 1816. He was elected
to the Maine Legislature in IS 15, but in
the latter part of the same year moved
to Green Bay, Wisconsin. He was a
circuit judge in that 8tate from 1850 to
1855. In 1861 hf was elected United
States Senator, serving three terms until
1880, when he was succeeded by Matt
D. Carpenter. In 1882, when Judge
Key resigned the office of postmaster
general, Mr. Howe was appointed as bis
successor.
- The Newberry Herald ssys that a
desperate shooting aflrvy occurred a few
days ago, just across the Saluda River,
in Edgeneld County, between Mark
Berry and a son of Mr. Wister Swindler,
in which the former was seriously
wounded. He advanced upon Swindler
who was at work ia the field and, pre
seating his shot gua, asked : "Do you
know that you am a dead man ?" Swin
dler said that be did not, and subsequent
events showed that be was correct He
sprang upon Berry, wrested the gue from
bis band?, and fired upon him. The
load entered the left arm uear the wrist
and followed it to the shoulder, - tearing
the flesh ia a fearful manner. Berry
turoed aod received the contents of the
other barrel, which proved to be ooly
powder aod wadding, ia his back. The
suppositioo is that he loaded the gua io
f;reat haste and excitement, aod put both
cuds of shot io the barrel which was first
discharged. A woman was at the bottom
of the difficulty.

Cotton Mills now amount to $100,000.

in regard to the prosecution ol Demo
I era ta in the otb. district, lt is said that '
, be was going to Chester to louie niter the
; cases lhere. Cash wa-? al the (.?rand
i Central Hotel lo night talking loudly
; and hoastingly, and declaiming aboul
I hand at elections. A number <>t people
! in the lobby nf the hot'I were observing
his actions willi curiosity. Vccording |
' to these witnesses, Cash, nlti r 8 o'clock, :
I got into a discussion with .I.nins Herron, ;
I one ol' thc Monticello prisoner*, who, ;
? with other-, ol the persccutid Democrat* j
sat about the -tove in the lobby. Mr.
i Herron i* fifty seven yean, old and quite j
i feeble. They state that Cash was j
I blustering about "unfair count" in South
I Carolina, and that Herron asked him il
he meant to any that there had not been |
1 a fair count in Fairfield. The discus- ?
j hion waxed hotter, und Cash began to
threaten the old mau, saying that il a
younger man would repeal his assertions
he would stand him ?it ten paces, lier
ron said that he did not ui-k considera
tion for his age, and t 'ash then struck
him ii terrible blow with his list, which
sent thc old man reeling oil'. Cash is
physically a giant. Herron is under
sized and bent with age. Several men
rushed iii to separate them, but Cash
managed to strike Herron twice more bo
lore they were separated. All agree that
Herron did not curse or -trike. He was
carried oil' with blood (lowing from an
ugly cut under his righi eye. This is
my best information. Cash remained in
thc lobby, alternately daring auy young
muli lo lake up Herron'* quarrel, and
protesting that bciorc (Jud he had nu:
intended to hurt the old man. He ?
ubused thc newspapers, but kindly ex- j
eluded thc Xewt and < 'wirier'* correspon
dent, who had just come in, from his
anathemas.
A pul iceman was sent forby the pro
prictor of the hotel, and niter awhile ar
rived and took Cash and Herron into
custody. ?Sergeant Wier, ol' the police
?orce, joined the ollicer and thc prison
ers were escorted tu the guard house.
There they were searched. Cash had on
his person two revolvers, one of which
hud been seen sticking out ot his panta
loons pocket before the fruc.is occurred.
He bud also a hundred anti one dollars
about him. Herron had no weapon and
but a lew dui lars. lu the guardhouse
Cash apologized t<> Herron for his assault,
Having he respected his gray Ilaire.
The prisoners were placed in cells.
Presently Herrou's friends came up and
upon the representations made us to his
innocence ol the assault, he was allowed
to go on ten dol?ais collateral security.
Cash, his assault being flagrant,occupies
a cell to night. Thc parties will appear
before the Mayor to-morrow.
COM'MltIA, March 22.-The Police
Court this morning was densely thronged
by many prominent citizens tn witness
the examination of Cash aud Herron.
About half-past 1U o'clock last night,
alter the telegraph otlice was closed,
Snyder, the Government lawyer in thc
Fairfield cases, and Jack Little drove to
Mayor Rhett to ask Cash's release on
bail. The Mayor declined to interfere
and referred them to the ebie! of police.
Chief Fickling, about ll o'clock, allow e.!
hun to go ou a deposit of one hundred
dollars.
The examination began at !? o'clock
this morning. Willard and .Snyder sat
by Cash as bis counsel. A number of
Fairfield prisoners were present. Most
of the witnesses were absent and those
who could be lound were those who saw
least ot the actual attack. Other eye
witnesses, who were not found, confirmed
the report iu the Aeirs and Courier. The
testimony of various parties was that
Herron asked Cash if his allusions to a
lalse count were meant for Fairfield.
He replied that he alluded to Chester
County and the Fifth district. Ruth
parties were under the influence of liquor.
The discussion was not all heard, but it
waxed warm and Cash was asked hy two
of the elderly Fairfield prisoners not to
notice Herron as be was rather intoxica
ted. He agreed uol to do so, but pres
ently the discussion was renewed. Une
of the proprietors of ibo hotel tried lo
slop Cush, but he begun cursing ?gain.
In response to some statement by Cash
Herron called bim a liar. Cash then
struck him, as told in last night's dis
patches.
Cash himself testified that Herron had
made, at the beginning of the discussion,
some remark that grated on him. He
saw some of the crowd snicker, and
feared that if he went away it would
look as if he were backing out. Herron
called him u iiar, and he struck bim
without stopping to think, and twice
agaiu. When he found Herron did not
resist, he stopped. Alter Herron was
taken away Cash drew his pistol, but
not on Herron. He saw some men clos
ing around, and feared some combination
of which Herron waa only the tool.
That was his reason for drawing the
weapon.
.Snyder said that ho regrel'.ed the un
fortunate occurrence. Whiskey was the
causo.
Mayor Rhett said that it wins not a
personal question, but one of violating
the o.finances of Columbia.
Snyder said that Cash wua a deputy
United States marshal and had been in
structed to carry arms. He had the
right to do so.
Major T. W. Woodward said that the
only Fairfield men present when Cash
had asked for some young man to take
up Herron'? cause were three old gentle
men, membors of the church and wear
ing gray beards. If any of the young
men of Fairfield had been there they
would have taken no banter or threats.
Mayor Rhett replied that ho was conti
dent of that.
The mayor in sentencing Herron said
that there was no excuse for him. Ho
had applied a term to Cash which was
very aggravating. He was compelled to
fine him $20 or ten days. Tho lino was
at once paid.
To Cash Mayor Rhett said that he ad
mitted that he had been provoked, and
that if a young mao had called him a
liar as Herron had done and he had
struck bi n be would make his fine nom
inal. People wero not called ou tu take
such words, but Herron was too old a
man to be knocked down. He told
Cash, besides, that the streets of Colum
bia and the vestibule of ils principal
hotel were not the place for him lo vin
] dicato his honor. There was no mitiga
tion for bis offence, and he must fine bim
to the lull limit of his power, $20. He
would also fine him $10 for carrying
concealed weapons against the ordi
nance.
Sydner said that as far as the revolver
was concerned it was a case of the Unit
ed ?States against the City of Columbia,
Mayor Rhett ?aid, with emphasis, that
he would solve that question. He would
see if the United States Government
could give its employees power to violate
the city ordionneea. He would impose
this fine and he felt assured that if Sny
der wished to test the matter in tho
courir, the cit? ? ou Id defend its ordinan
ces to the end.
Sydner said then that Cash wrs on
duty and instructed to carty arms.
Cash, more tnt th ful, said that he was
not.
Sydner said, when pressed, that he
believed there were general instructions
allowing deputy marshals to carry arms.
He dented that Cash had drawn his pia?
toi in the hotel.
Cash said that he had pulled it out.
The Mayor aaid, warmly, that be would
inform the assistant district attorney
that he would enforce the ordinance, and
that if he (Snyder) or any of his men
should make the attempt to carry con
