Unless all information obtainable by .me is false, no man in South Carolina need present an application for pardon, unless one of his o -fnr pardon mongers' nas rwcivcu a. i&; wa it. Blease is too good a lawyer to think or believe that Ferguson's affidavit will fool anybody into believing that he had ever seen my letter to Ferguson While I know nothing about Ferguson, and never saw him," I do not believe he swears to tjie exact truth. A man can lie by suppressing the truth as 1'1 1 Qn/1 J? ! wen as oy temug il unxt^nj, uuU ~ man with an easy conscience can swear to almost anything. While I am discussing railroad lawyers and their influence on the South Carolina general assembly, it is just as well that I should make public all that I said on the subject. Governor Blease has quoted only a part of it. In i a letter I wrote to Mr. P. B. Bailey, at Blaney, South Carolina, August 16th, replying to a resolution adopted by the Blease club at that place relative to rov letter to Mr. Sims. I said: i "That the railroads are getting a hold in our State again I know. The legislature ought to compel the railroads to give us the right, on any j system or roads anywhere in the State . 4- Q" mnnv riHAnla no IVP Wfint. !

But Ben Abney and the; railroad attorneys in the legislature have been too venal and corrupt to protect tho people against the railroads, and as I have already pointed out, Blease is in closer touch with' them than Jones; and Blease is on re-1 cord as saying the Southern Railway will have a friend in me if elected." I think it well that the people of the State and the general assembly should know what I think about th influence the railroads have exerted in the leg islature. ~ The 6th charge of having lent myself to signing my name to an article prepared by someone else, whom he designates as a "statesman without a job" and this "astute big Ex," meaning thereby, I presume, Ex-Governor John Gary Evans, is shown to be false by the following affidavite from j C. .G "\yyche, one of my secretaries, | - ~~~ r> T Wvfhp n n rl n bro- i &Uii Ui iivu.

Christian Screiioe Monthly. < The vice presidency of the United States is a post of high honor and distinction, and yet among men in public life there is a feeling that the widely known man who consents to accept the office is abandoning opportunities of ; srr^pter perferment. He is said to be making a sacrifice. He is often pitied piViftnlAd for nermitting I anu uiivuva ? xvawv. ? ^ ^ _ himself to be "laid on the shelf." He is spoken of as a "dummy." He is regarded as one who has lost j his place in the world of affairs. All: this1 is nonsensical. It may be true the j office of vice president, if the viewpoint be entirely political; but, standing upon its owm base, the vice presidency is no empty honor and no sinecure. It is something to be presiding officer of the United States, senate. The Viictnrv nf the r.ountrv\moreover, has j demonstrated it to be something of! great importance to be next in line to the presidency.
