Mr. Davis' suggestion of political neu

To co un oct Mr. Davis'speeches, with the
cause of the Demooraoy is, therefore,
plainly unfair and illogical. Tho amount
ol the matter-is simply this: It io not
agreeable to certain journals to find Mr.
Davis the recipient, of'honors on the
part of the South. In .thia respeot the
South is not likely to heed the tastes ol
these journals and.their sympathizers.
We believe that the 'great majority, oi
the whites of the South-the so-called
.'.ex-rebela"-are disposed ' to imite with
? tbe generous > men of the whole country
to bring about an era of genuine good
will aud real prosperity. They are dis
poised to let the dead past bury its dead,
and tb unite for the public good upon
a broad and liberal field of harmonious
co-operation. But the New Tork Times
and its co-critics will find no true South?
ern man ready to forego tho sympathica

part of tho 8 ta tom eut-nj ado by us was in
-Jocating this o%rVag?ythat?nevor ocour
t<ed, in Union instead of Spartauburg.
Dr. R. M. Smith, a Representative from
?'Spartauburg, called at thu Union office,
.jugs tho day. be for el ho p ab I Icfttxon. of Mw ,1
[.paragraph relative to tho assertion of
che correspondent of the Charleston
Kaws. informed the editor (as this writer
.hos the.ib^t;.irfiOT?leri?e-Jon/bajieping)
that Draper was alive and welt, and re?
quested him to oorrect the fatso state?
ment that had been"'published in his
?olumna a/qm days (fifteen days, the edi?
to? ?aya?) n bof Qip. What did thia fairy [
minded ?ditai.?o?.? .Why, ho .said: not
ono word about what Dr. ?mithnad told
him, but published tho asBortiou of the
News' correspondent-that Draper^waa
?lW??nd well-and immetliatdy reiterat?
ed ~'the false assertion,- baaed upon what
he said a gentleman from Spartauburg
told him, that Draper was "certainly
hanged until be waa dead." In further
illustration of hie love of truth and fair
dealing, he labors, iii thia morning's
?88UO of his paper, , to perpetuate tho
false statement in reference to Draper's
murder, hy.paying;,f"W,e.have noyer yet
B?en'th? m?ri'who has stan Wiley Dra?
per alive." Wo havo aeeD numbers of
gentlemen who have seen Wiley Draper
alive; and if the editor pf the Union was
half os auxious*V>'do' justice to the peo?
ple of the up-country as he is to slander
and misrepresent them, he could aeo
plenty of men who have seen Wiley Dra?
per alive.. WUl .be say nou> that ho be?
lieves Wiloy lamper was murdered, as
represented in his paper ''on the 18th
day bf ^Kbfoi^rjoi1 last>'\ I If .he ??ea not
now believe it why not co'nro ont, Uko an
h?best man, and say to his readers that
his information was inoorreot. '
But tho Union editor "novor d?nied
that tho writ [habeas corpus) had'been
disregarded" in the case of tho Liq rona
-T_ai a ?. ^_it_-.. ?ti fj. .
(jiisuucia, ? uui mu uo aaj mo pnuuut'is
had been liberated." Well, what did
he say? Why, he Baid that "if writs of
habeas corpus were sued Cat, he never
know it." Then ho was ignora nt of the
facts pf the case, or he -wilfully perverted
them. ' He can hang on the horn of his
choice. Neither one will hold him np
in a very enviable attitude. Ho did say:
"Wo believe all the . persons arrested are
at liberty." "The harder she struggled,
the'deeper she went," is an assertion we
road in our school-boy days in.reference
to aland fowl that undertook to swim.
So with- the editor of the Union. ? The
firisonerfl in question bad been arrested
ong enough for the news of their arrest
to roach Raleigh) N. C., and.for the Sen?
tinel to publish an account of the affair,
and for tho Union editor to write on tho
7th of December, a correction of the Sen?
tinels version of that affair; and yet.at
that time he b?licved, BO he said, that
they were all at liberty, i How did they
obtain their liberty? They did not break
jail that we eyer heard of, nor were they
out on balk' / What was their actual Con?
dition at that time? Why, they had
been arrested and dragged from their
homes to Columbia, in defiance of a writ
of habeas 'corpus, and thrust-aa felons
into the' jail of this County, without an
examination, and were, at the very time
that the Union editor penned the sen?
tence above quoted, lying iii jail "right
hore in this city," as "everybody in . Co?
lumbia, except this wide-awake, truth
loving editor, knew," and we believe he
knew it as well as everybody else did.
Wo well remember reading that asser?
tion the morning it was published, and
calling the attention of some gentlemen
then present to the misrepresentation it
contained. But he says they woro not
coTivnitted to jail by Esquire Solomon
till tho Oth Of December. So much the
worse for him and his party. It is not
the first instance -in which prisoners
have been Drought hero and thrust iuto
jail without au examination.
The editor says we wish to injure him.
Not so. Wo wi8lr, if possible, to have
justice done to those whom he maligns;
aud if .he will publish as facts things
that never oconrred, and deny others
that have occurred, he aball find, occa?
sionally, an effort made by us to set him
right, though success iu the effort be un?
attainable, so far as drawing from him
an acknowledgment of the wrong is oon
oerned. Howbeit, he does como down
One round on the ladder of infallibility
upon which he plaoed himself when he
defied the production of a single instance
in which he had published the ooour
rence of an outrage that had not hap?
pened, inasmuch as ho now finds that ho
has "vert/ seldom boon mistaken."
In conclusion, the Union editor need
not vex his righteous, soul becauso wo
write over a fictitious signature. Wo
have a real nanoo, of which we aro not
ashamed, and whioh wo never refused to
give to those who had any right to know
it; and whenever we do him so great
personal injustice as to ron dor it necessa?
ry'for bim to call on you for that name,
in order that ho may be enabled to vin?
dicate his injured innocence, you are At
full liberty to give it to him. But, until
then? wo bog to remain his, for the truth,

' MD j. Williams, whore, on account of his
wound, be was obliged to stop.
Xo thdlbOju?st held, on the 22nd Mayj
liewifl . Galbreath, Esq:, Trial Justice,
acted as Coroner, while tho jury was
composed.of highly respectable aud in?
telligent citizens. -The only witnesses in
tho mutter were Mrs. Faolkuer, wife of
the murdered mau'/dud Mr. J. C. . Wil?
liams, son of Maj. Williamson Williams.
The evidence brings' ?ut nothing now,
simply coft-ohQrMmg , (he : facts. Already
known to :tho public. . Ou the night of
1 the 21at, a.inau, unknown to the twp
I Witnesses, appeared at Maj. Williams'
gate, was received by Mr. J. C. Williams,
stated that he had come to iuform the
wounded mau that his whereabouts waa
known, begged the loan of a wagon to
contey.the wounded man five or , sjx
mi l?a further on, and finally, requested
tc . sss Faulkner. Williams returned
into the house and stating the case to
Faulkner, asked if he should admit the
stranger. Faulkuor bade him do so.
Th?'?tranger entered the room 'where
Faulkner lay, and, Mrs. Faulkner being
present, requested to speak privately to
him. At the behest, of Faulkner, Mrs.
F. and'Mrs. Williams left .the. room.
After remaining a short time with Faulks
uer, the unknown man emerged and. left
the house. . Mrs. F. and Mr. W. then
returned to Faulkner, who told them
that be believed the man to be his friend,
and that he had gone out to bring in a
friend whom he (Faulkner)' knew., After
a short absence, the stranger ' returned,
bringing witli him, as far as the gate,
another man. Leaving this man at the
gate, hg again entered the house and re?
quested to deliver, privately, to Faulkr
nor a message from his friend at the gate.
Upon this, Fuulkner agaiu requested his
wife and Mr. Williams to leave the
room? which they did. After anothet
abort tarry, alone, in Faulkner's room,
the stranger again Came forth and re?
quested Mr. Williams to gd out With him
to the gate and hold their horses until
he and the second man should come in
and see Faulkner together. Mr. Williame
went with him, but. a.1? he neared the gate
saw no horses. As he was in the act ol
passing- through the gate, four mon, all
without.disguise and unknown to him,
suddenly sprang np, three of whom pre?
sented their .pistols to his head, and in?
formed him that should he attempt tc
move they would instantly shoot him
dead. Mr. Willioma promised to obey
their commands, Upon this the first
named mab and one of the latter font
rushed into the house, into Faulkner's
room,.and fired two shots into his body.
They then carno rapidly out of the house
and through the gate. Simultaneously
Mr. Williams was released, and all five
men made off precipitately. Mr. Wil?
liams hastened to the honso whero he
found poor Faulkner a lifojosa corpse
one oliot through his head aud another
through his thigh. Mrs. Faulkner, hav?
ing been twice obliged to leave tho room,
saw and knew but little. During tin
strango man's first abaonoe from Faulk
ner'a room, the latter told her ;h<
thought the man a friend, but "hu wai
fearful of the party;" and that he, th?
strange man, was going to bring to bim
a gentleman by the uame of Taylor, whe
lived at Saluda Old Town. And that the
strange mau was to move him some
miles further that night, in a spring
wagon, ?nd finally get him off into Nortt
Carolina.
This is tho sum and substunco of the
evidence, aud the verdict of the jury oi
inquest is in accordance. The allair . ii
very horrible and very mysterious. Wt
make no useless surmises, but avail
further developments.

immediately repaired to the City Phy?
sician for assistance, but ha returned
without it, and about 5 o'olock in the
morning, the muscles of his neck sud?
denly contracted, when he spoke of it,
and immediately expired.
It appears from the evidence that thc
deceased bad two wives, aud that he
lived with ono or tho other, as his whimt
dictated, and that ho had quarrelled witl
one or both-of them a few days previous
to bis death; whiob circumstance, con?
nected with the sudden "manner of hit
taking off," excited suspicion among hil
friends that poison had done 'tho work,
Dr. It. W. Gibbes waa culled in, and per
formed a postmortem examination ; bul
failed to find any trace of poison, and
recommended an analysis of the stomach,
Nothing was elioited boforo the jurj
which would indicate poisoning, bul
they havo ordered the contents of thc
stomach to be analyzed.
The case is a mysterious one, and will,
no donbt, receivo a full investigator
from those whose duty it is to ferret ont
criminal matters. The deceased is rep?
resented os temperate in his habits, bj
the parties who had him employed during
the post th reo months.
The following is the verdict of thc
Coroner's jury: "That the deceased,
James Kennedy, cauio to his death from
causes to tho jury unknown, bot they
strongly suspect that poison has been
administered, and order that tho con?
tents of tho stomach of the deceased bo
analyzed." . ; ? ' ,
Coronor Coleman diesen tod from that
portion of tho verdict whioh suspects
tho presence of poison, as also the Order?
ing of an analysis.
