.Mr-.^Editor: Having heard some criticisms made
ipon the course of one who ,is now a candidate before ,
ho people for their votes as a member.of the Legist
atore, of which" he js now a member, Maj. John MIeSaUssjies,
wa applied to him for information on
he subject, and. now state theresult of tbo$e 'enqui-;'
ies: Having a sutplus. of corn and peas from tho
rop of IS63 we have seen 1ms book in- which his
tdes are kept, and find lie sold his corn, at air average
f four dollars .per bushol, and tho peas at an, average
>f three dollars and forty cents per UuaheL None of
he corn was eold for over five dollars, and a fair pro^
lortion of it at froga two.io three dollars per bushel?
nd'one lot of two hundred bushels waslsold at one
[ollv per bushel' to tbo wives and widow.? of sol-,
iiers and needy women with children; and ?ne lot
raa sent to Charleston to.-aid soldiers families there,
sa gratuity. Not one bushel of corn or poas ,wns
old out of Kershaw District; except to some necessi-'
ous persons in Sumter District,.near his plantation,rho
are embraced in the classes above -stated. He
iOsit?'ely refused to sell to persons who Wished tp
urchase" to. sell agatf for a profit. What ever diilincion
was made as to purchasers it was in tuyor of'
rives and widows of! soldiers; od(1 the refugee lajni.
ies, of Charioston and the low country.' Every demand
or .corn was supplied when Be had it to sell to those
rho wanted it for their own dpmestic usd. But it
vas manifestly impossible lo.supply all' demand?.?
)he urgent demands of soldiers and refugee families
oaking baigainsjor it, even in December last, had .to
io supplied Bret, and tli^n aJl others wer| supplied ps
ast'as naked for-, and to tliosc who first asked' for it
;ot it in their turn, so long as there.whs corn-or pdaso
get The applications were very numerous, at
east tyro hundred, and no distinction was made, ex'-,
:e?t as above stated. ?rain wa? sold to 'persons
vhoic he never saw, (^nd did Dot even know or soe
hem) simply because tliey came \rithip the above
lasses. Ope lot was sold to a person, who it is stated
ent it to another District, at^d. sold for .a profit. If
his be true the intention was concealed from him 'at
he time when the ,sale was made. On the contrary,
le was told by the, purchaser it wag to,supply the ne-.
sesitous families of this town. If this purchaser
ibused the confidence Teposed in him let the sin lie at
lis own door, it is not right tba^ Major DkSaussurb
ihould he made responsible for- tbe misrepresentations
if oth'eb. His object was to throw the.cora in thelands
of those who was in need of it, and supposed !

lone of Maj. DESAUSSi'RE's, it lias been also * most uncasonably
alleged against him that lie sold corn

for him a scat in, tlie Legislature upon his

have so large an interest at' stake ds he has,
and most certainly is if true that-i those who
have most to lose will be the most assidious in
its preservation. The time was when it made
but little difference who was sont to the Lcgislatare,
but times have sadly changed. A crisis"
is upon us, when we require'not only wisdom
but experience. We should not be expected

found faithful in time that has passed in guarding
the best interest of our State and District.

to solicit your anffragc, < and when
*asked by the writcV why he did not, his reply
was, you knew him mid have, known him long,
