The resolution of Senator Claydon, of Abbeville, to instruct tin* Attoriioy (lencrnl to investigate the operations of tho Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. in connection with the anti-trust law ison the right line. If the law is effec tive, now is thc time to demonstrate it; if defective, it should be repealed and another that eau be enforced enacted in its stead, lt is safe to say, though, that when Attorney-!louerai Itelliiigcr meets the trust, the tug ol' war is just begun. Ile is a man equal to the occasion, ami \v<- bid him Coil speed in his Herculean undertaking*. ? m . m "The Con felici a t e Veteran,*' n maga zine published in Nashville, Tenn., ami devoted to thc publication ol'thc history ol' the st niggle ol the Soul bet II States for t heir independence, has made a Ubi ral proposition to tin- I laughters of the Confederacy when by that older can make ;i neal sum of money for thc Winnie Davis Memorial Mall. The management of the Veteran proposes lo give to tho Daughters of the Con federacy one-third of each subscript ion or renewal to tho Veteran. Thc sub script ion price is om- dollar per annum, ami the Veteran is a publication that should bo in every home in the South. The Montana bribery case now being investigated in Congress is a reproach to Republican institutions and a dis grace to a country whose constitution allows such nefarious possibilities as tho'wholesale purchase of a State Leg bdature by any man with Senatorial designs. A Senator who can pay $15, OdO for each vote to elect him should not be allowed to voto away thc peo ple's money, for be must needs reim burse minnel ? for his campaign boodle out of the public treasury, and in the end the people foot the bill. The. peo ple demand popular elections of Sena tors after constitutional amendment, but with Republicans and boodle kings in control such a consummation is as ns remote as the East is from Hie West. _ The administration defenders in Congress are rapidly bringing tho war President into popular disrepute on account of their studied and determin ed effort to suppress all efforts to secure information in reference to the con duct and origin of the Philippine war. The tension in the councils of the g. o. p# is something dreadful, and Messrs. Sulzer and Pettigrew are daily making it higher. The President is anxiously squirming on an uneasy stool, and the prospects now are (hat the Democrats in the next campaign will have the most powerful thunder to hurl at the Republicans they have bad in thirty years. The attitude of the President's representatives in Congress incrimi nates the administration ol' pursuing a policy the details of which it is unwill ing that the public should know, a good indication that there is something i(?tten in the State of Denmark. Mr. McGraw, from somewhere, is in deed a very fortunate personage, l'or two successive sessions of the ' louerai Assembly he bas succeeded in eluding the fool-killer beautifully so that at the gathering'in Columbia last week he bobbed up as serenely as eyer, riding his favorite hobby, the anti-bicycle bill. This bill pi o vides that no wheel man shall pass any vehicle or horseman on the roads without Mist obtaining permission, lt wouldlx$ interesting to study the inspiration for this persistent persecution. Since studying the shy ing propensities (d' his high nettled hobby, we arrive at th?-conclusion that that timorous equestrian has fared badly at thc hands of passing wheel men, coupled nilli th?- unexpected activity of his shying hobby. We seem to catch a Meeting vision of the lone horseman unhorsed, wading knee deep in a casual m nd-hole calling lusti ly for just a n ani of paper on vi hieb to ?Irait his shifting and sulphurous sen timents for presentation to the (.encrai Assembly, lit-has no ink; if he could catch lin speeding wheelman, he'd write it in blend, but this be eau mu He uses the nevi best thing, which is milli, and who.. the fool-killer tallies he completes the'document, and with his unwashed;;,countenance and gar ments still upon him he rushes into the midst of the fray, and linds, alas! that hobbies shy at less harmless things than bicycles. Mr. McCraw is a splen did legislator-to stay at hmm-amt his constituents, out of respect for him, ought to allow him to stay at home.

Then- is no attempt in evade any issue or to trans fer tin* responsibilities ol' grave pro blems to thc shoulders of the Legisla ture. So advanced is bis stand on all issues that he has laid himself open to much adverse criticism from ni I fac tions. Certain it. is that no one l'adion can claim the honor of owning the Governor. We lind much in the mes sage to commend, and hope that the law-makers will berni a listening cur to his words of wisdom. His appeal for uniform valuation ol' all taxable property as provided by the constitu tion-that is, at its actual vnlm-is un questionably on tho right line. I Ic oc cupies thc only tenable position hirer terence to higher education and the maintenance of public sc lion ls; bis pica for good totals is intended well but lacks suggestion; and his respects paid the trusts are admittedly in line with public sentiment.

The message, as a whole, is worthy of praise, timi the printer Governor has dc-mon struted re markable research and familiarity with the ship of State. A Confederate Kein inn. Gunn-:, S. C., January r>, woo. Mit. EDITOR: It was tho privilege and pleasure of tho writer io be invited to a reunion of Confederate Veterans on the 20th of December, lniM>, ut the homo of comrade J. Oliver Mcbain in honor of his brother, A. lt. Mcbain, now of Itawambti County, Mississippi. The brothers lind not seen each other in more thnn thirty years. When meeting each other nt the station (Honen Path,) they were introduced to each other ns though they were perfect strangers. They had passed each oth er without recognition. Of course, they being members of Co. I, 1 ?Mi S. C. V., the majority of the .'Johnnies" present at this reunion were of the gallant Regiment, hut the Ttb S. C. V., 1st S. C. V.. 22nd Missis sippi and l?th Tennessee were also re presented, i The time passed pleasantly in relat ing amusing as well as thrilling inci dents which occurred in tho Anny ot Northern Virginia as well as the Army of Tennesse?'. Anning tho thrilling ones was the charge of the gallant division under that brave Irishman, Major-General l'at Cleburne,at Frank lin. Tennessee. Cen. Cleburne was shot down as he was crossing the breast works of the enemy. The incident of General li. K. Le?- ??Hering to lead t ! i egg's Texas Ibigndc into t he Wilder ness on May mb, l?SU-l, was told al sec ond hand from om? ?d'thc Texas braves, The charge of the Alabama Hrignde, Wilcox's. le?l hy the dashing Saut ii Carolinian, I ..encrai I'orrin, in a nccm ingly vain atti nipt tn stem the tide of h.it t h-on t he satin- day. together with tim telrihlc onslaught caused by Ken ning's Oeorgiaiis. were telerrcd to. Several amusing incidents were re lated, when our hosl insisted that we should now partake of his hospitality. A Confederate never needed a second invitation t?? where be could enjoy tho crea tun* comforts. Tho sumptuous repast brought tn thc. mimi of one present a dinner on tim lines near tin- Star Kort, al Petersburg, which cost bim seventeen dollars in hart! earned cash, il;- nannied the facts at th?'table, when tin- comrade ol' the 22nd Mississippi said. "1 guess I have just eaten seventeen dollars worth."' The reply wes promptly made, "Not so, only thirty-four dollars worth." Tin- ?limier brought to mind a not her dinner pu pated hy loving hands, hy tho patriotic ladies ol' litchimmd, Va., n Christmas dinner for (?encrai bee's Anny, the writer's shan- of which was ?inly three bites nf the dark meat of a turkey. We took tho intent of the In dies in good faith and exclaimed, "God bless ib?-, ladies of Kichtnond." The wish was expressed on patting, " May w?' all answer promptly to our tinnies at the linal roll call np yonder." May this not ho the Inst reunion. JOHN A. I.OIllXSOS, Adjutant Camp A. J.
