COKRESPONDENCE BETWEEN T H E OVERNOR AND PROFESSOR. byipathy With a Sear.:h After Truth ene Dropping of tLe Profces,'r not Re tous Persecution-A 31uch Talked of 3ocument With not Much in it. The following is the correspondence between Governor Tillman and Pro fesser Alexander, in regard to which so muca curiosity has been manifested: 'rE GOVERNOR's FIRST LETTER. (PRIvATE.) April 22, *'W. hEAR Sin: In to-day's News and, Courier I find mention made of the sub ject matter of your talk with the Trus tees yesterday and prominence given to a question pfopounded by me. 1 desire to disclaim all knowledge of this pub licity, and I regret that your earnest and frank statement, which strongly excied the admiration and sympathies of many of the Trustees, should have gone iorth in such a way and at such a A cannot refrain from giving expres gion to my own feelings in the matter. an to say that while I fear your open avowal of such doubts will inevitably sever your connection with the college ha; i do not share in the slightest in the reeling which will cause men to cry out against you and demand your dis minsao. The seeker after trut h, the man who in this vale of tears honestly strives to know and to do what is right witnout pandering to the prejudices or .srrendering to the clamor of the igno ,rant multitude, must, like the meek and Jowiy Jesus, expect persecution and sorrow as his lot. To few is given the gilhty or will to swim against the cur rent of popular ideas or attack old cus tonia. The masses of mankind inherit their religion and have no well defined opinion on this subject. In proportion as tney are ignorant are they bigoted but i must not trespass further on your Umo or patience. I only desire to let ou anow that I do not share such feel With assurance of the highest respect 1am very truly yours, B. R: TIL LIAN. To ur. W. J. Alexander. REP1I TO DR. ALEXANDER'S REQUEST. ';OLUMBA, S. C., .May 19. 1891. Prof. W. J. Alexander, Columbia, S. C. DL a Sm: Your letter of yesterday, asking permission to publish a private letter i wrote you on April22, concern ig vwar statement before the Trustees, -s at nand. The letter in question was mot written with a view to its being maae public, and it may place me in a false position unless it could be elabo rated, which I hardly know how to do. This you can readily understand that as. Iam not a professor of religion of any kind I would not like to appear be fore te public in the role of a critic. Iwrote with my usual frankness and there s nothing in my letter which I woula not avow if necessary, but I do not think the circumstances at present requirs it. Just as you refuse to give our religious views at tirst on the groung of "private property," I don't think mine should be brought out in this way. And I therefore cannot con sent to your request for leave to publish my letter. If you are very anxious that I should kive an expression of opinion on your eavingthecollege,I will give my honest oini'n in a statement to the press or naletter to yourself. In this event l be glad to see you as soon as may ecanvement. Yours truly, &c., B. R. TILLMAN. DRi. ALEXANDER ACCEPTS. COLUrMIA, S. C., May 19, 1891. -overnor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S.C. DEAR SIE: In your letter of to-day, hwieh I have just received, you decline to allow me to publish your letter writ en to me on April 22di. The publica .,on of this letter could not, so far as I cansee,.do you any harm, and would setle the question in the minds of most ~rosas to the cause of my removal ? rm the University. Unfortunately, ~most of the evidence in my possession -as under the seal of privacy; that seal I ioed you would break and let the truth cme forth. I regret, therefore, that :odeclne to allow me to publish your T ou offer, however, to furnish me a inatment on the subject with the un lastndng that I may publish it if I ~ i.1 accept this offer, and will ~J~kyou to forward me such a state natat your earliest convenience. Very respectfully, W. J. ALEXANDER. GOVERXOR TILL3IAN's STATEMENT. MAY 20, 1891. Pro.'W.J. Alexander, Columbia. S. C. ~DEAR SIE: Tour letter of May 19, dling me to furnish a statement of the causes whic~h occasioned your re trement as professor from the S. C. Ociege comes duly to hand, and I re epy at my earliest convenience. And I do so-more readily because I have seen rroneous statements going the rounds f the press charging that I had writ ten oua letter to the effect that your zagosviews were the cause of your *ntbigre-elected. I will be as brief Islcan be making the matter clear. knd of course it is understood that I seak for myself alone and not for the oard of Trustees. When the Trustees met on April 21, majority and minority report had been prepared suggesting a plan of re ~orgzation. In both of these the e-hs which you hold were abolished, and the studies divided and added to ~otherasses. At the first meeting the whole facul ty, one by one, were invited before us and asked to give their views on the proposed reorganization. During the hearmg your religious views became a satter of discussion. The question of Mr. Sloan as to Bain's skepticism caus ing you very frankly and broadly to avow your own skepticism. After it ad lasted a long while, to bring mat ters to an end, I asked as to your belief in Christ; as you declined to answer the Board was left in ignorance of what you did believe. Nothing was said by you at that meeting about your .eaUnitarian. Next day I wrote you a private letter expressing my admiration and symn pathy, but expressing the opinion that such views woul-d inevitably cause a severance of your connection with the institution.'I did not speak for any one but myself, and gave my own opinion only. At the meetmng of first of M1ay the col lewas reorganized, your chair abol ieand this would have happened if you hdnever given any information as to religious views, because it was one which could be naturally and easily di vided. You again appeared before the Board and rea your protest, which has been pblhshed, claiming to be a Uni laran Cristian. In the election which followed you were not put in nomnina ton for any chair and, of course, it is lft to conjecture whether you would have been elected had your name been presented. These are facts, and I will only add that Icannot see any ground for the cry of religioas intolerance which his been raised. You and your co-re ligionists have no cause for complaint that I see. There is a vast difference between allowing a mani perfect relig ios freedom and putting him in a po sition to teach his dogmas. Speaking for myself I can say that itneis and high moral character will govern my vote in choosing a faculty for the col lege, as I believe it will the other Trus tees, and no Unitarian will be ostra cised for conscience sake. Yours respectfully, THE STATEMIENT NOT SATISFACTORY. COLu3iBIA. S. C., Mlay 2~5, 1S91. Governor B3. Ri. Tillman, Columbia, S. C.. DEAR SR.: Your comnmunication of May 21 came duly to hand, but as it was published that y ou wouuld be absent from the city bor a few days Ihave de ferred writing to you unul to-day. I regt to hoae to ay tn hat your state ment is not satisfactory, and that I cannot have it published. I shall, there fore, be obliged if you will make your own statement to the public on the subject of my retirement from the Un1iversity. Yours respectfully. W. J. ALEXANDER. ALE xANDEn'S REJOINDER. Prof. Alexander Wednesday gave to the press the following reply to the statement of Governor Tillman in let ters, but more especially to the second the one submitted for publication, but as unsatisfactory: As Governor Tillman has at last pub lished the entire correspondence be tween us it is due to him and to the pubie that I should explain why .the state'ment that he submitted to me for publication in lieu of the letter that he refused to allow me to publish was not satisfar;tory. One has only to compare the two papers to see why the one last written was unsatisfactory, but it will not be amiss to set forth the principal reasons explicitly. This I shall do as briefly as possible. First. Governor Tillmhn in order to make out a case has manufactured his facts. By such a process any case whatever could be made out. le says: "When the trustees met on April 21, 1891, a majority report and minority re port had been prepared suggesting a plan of reorganization." This is true. He proceeds. "In both of these the chairs which you hold vwere abolished and the studies dicided an7W added to other classes." This is not true, and no one ought to know better that it is not true than Governor Tillman himself. Both these reports were published, both were sub mitted to every member of the board for their careful consideration, both were doubtless closely examined and deeply pondered by Governor Tillman, both are now accessible. Let Governor Tillman show that the majority report, which is the real report of the exec" tive committee, abolished my chair; on the contrary, it was proposed to that committoe (as the minority report ne cessarily implies) to abolish my chair, as well as to do a number of unwise things, and the proposal was deliberate ly rjected by four out of a committee of five. Mr. Mayfield, in presenting the report of the executive committee, spoke for every member of that committee hut one when he reported that the chair of logic and rhetoric should be retained in its integrity. That Mr. Clark's imprac ticable scheme embodied in the minori ty report had very httle influence with the board is evident from the fact that nearly every one of his characteristic recommendations was rejected. During both conferences and the ten days that intervened my religious opinions are the things, and the only things,'that will -eventually sever my connection with the college;" that will "cause men to cry out for my dismissal," etc., etc. After the whole thing is over it turns out that both reports of the executive committee recommended the abolition of my chair, and that such abolition was a foregone conclusion from the beginning! Are Governor Tiilman and Mr. Jones so put to it to make out a case for themselves that the Speaker of the House of Represen tatives must distort and cancature facts until they do not know them selves, and that the Governor of the State must manufacture them out of the whole cloth? Second, as the editor the State has al ready pointed out, there is a fiat con tradiction between the whole spirit of the first paper and that of the sec ond. "Looking here upon this picture and on that." In the first "the frank avowal of my religious views will inev itably sever my connection with the college;" in the second those views have nothing to do with my removal Ini the first my views "will cause men to cry out for my dismissal;" in the second Governor Tillman "cannot see any ground for the cry of reli ous in tolerance which has been rai" In the first I am warned to "expect persecution and sorrow as my lot;" in the second "you and your co-religion ists have no cause for complaint that I can see." .Lut enough; no vender of patent medicines could get ump a more striking contrast of "before" and "after" taking than our Governor has done in these two papers. Such evasion is unworthy of him. Had I received his second p a per before I penned my letter of May 21 I could not have written "you have been frank and straightforward in your whole course in the matter," For while I was writing these very words, and re joicing that I could write them, the Governor was utterly changing his policy. W. 3. ALEmANDER. The Third Party in Kansas. CHICAoo, May 27-A special dis patch from Topeka, Kas, says: Prohib ition leaders are delighted at the result of the Supreme Court decision in the Rohrer original package cnse holding the Wilson bill constitutional. County At torney Welch, who had dropped his rosecutions of men charged with con tinwng to sell liquor after the passage of the Wilson bill, will now continue them and the war will be waged with de termination. It is diflicult to tell the political effect of the decision. Secretary of State Hig gins said that he hoped the question would now be taken out of politics. "It is no longer a political question," said he, "'and the decision of the highest tri bunal in the land settles the matter so far as the approaching campaign is con cerned." Many of the Democratic and Repub lican leaders have become sick and tired of a campaign over a local issue, and since the People's party has ignored the question altogether it will give the new party a distinct advantage in the ap proaching campaign if the old parties di vide on the liquor question. Quaint Religious Rights. READING, Pa., May 22.-The two days' love feast of the D)unkards adjourned in Mohler's meeting house, near E phrata, this afternoon. Four thous and people were present to-day. An unusual feature of this love feast was the baptism of two young married pairs living in the neighborhood by immer sion in the Cocalico creek at Ruben Fahnestock's mill, over half a mile away from the meeting house. Meals were served to the entire multitude free of charge. After dinner the brethren washed each other's feet, the women doing like wise with those of their own sex, while hymns were being sung. The Lord's supper was then celebra ted, every set of four brethren and every set of four sisters eating out of one tin dish, bread being dipped into soup made of rice and lamb. The sa lutation of the holy kiss followed, the men kissing each other and the women kissing each other at the same time. His Last Wish Denied. Tt'nix, May 22.-[n consequence of the refusal of the French Government to grant the request of the executors of t he will of the late Prince Napoleon the Italian Government has ordered the tomb in the Church of La Superga, in which the Prince's body lies, to be closed. The executors requested the French Government to grant the Prince's last desire, which was that his body should be buried in Iles San Guin aires, near Ajaccio the capital of Cor sica. A liltary Train Wrecked. COLU3IBUS, TeXas., May 22.-This morning a traIn on the Southern Pa ci, containing three companies of the Fifth infantry, on route to Alabama, was wrecked. -Charles Carter, a pri vate f rom Santa Fe, was killed outright and four others were fatally injured. The wreck occurred six miles from here. All1 the oldiers were hbaly saken up. POISONED HER FATHER. A SENSATIONAL STORY COMES FROM JEFFERSON. GA. A Beautiful Young Girl Resents a Pater nal ThrashIng-Her Father Objected to Her Favorite Suitor-She rearfully Con fesseo. ATHENS, GA., May 23.-Jimiu Jarrett, who lives in Jackson county about fourteen miles from Athens, and near Jefferson, is a prosperous and contented farmer who has a lovely daughter, Fannier, much admired by all the young men of the neighborhood. Among her admirers is a young far mer, Bob McRae, who had been par ticularly attentive to her, and who is very obnoxious to her father. The daughter, however, was fond of Bob, and was determined to see him when ever the opportunity offered, no matter how much epposed her father might be to their meeting. Last Tuesday Mr. Jarrett told his daughter that she must stop seeing the fascinating Bob, and if she disobeyed him he would whip her. This threat did not, however, deter the daughter from carrying out her plans, and she met McRae and took a long walk with him. This angered her father beyond endurance, and when she returned to her home he gave her, as be had prom ised, a severe whipping. After the whipping had been admin istered, the daughter went off for a few hours, but returned, seemingly as happy as she had been. The next day Mr. Jarrett had soup for dinner, which was made by his daughter. He was taken violently sick soon after eating, and when the physicians arrived, they saw at once that he had been poisoned. The poison was discovered to be in the soup, and was rough on rats. The daughter when shesaw her father apparently dying, broke down and con fessed her crime amid tears and protes tations of future obedience. She had procured the poison and put it in the soup inttnding t-. kill her father because he had whipped her. Fortunately for the life of Mr. Jarrett. too much poison was administered and he was not in stantly killed and now in fact, he may recover. Every effort is being made to save his life and these efforts may succeed. The story is sickening in the extreme and although the daughter is pretty and attractive she will in all probability be made an example of.-Augusta Chron icle. The People's Party. CINCINNATI, May 21.-Since the ad journment of the Natnonal Union Con vention last night, scores of dispatches expressing approval of the outcome of the gathering and offerrng congratula tions h .ve poured in upon the delegates from all over the country. Both fac tions to the third party controversy are satisfied with the result and each claims the victory. An effort will be made to bring the industrial conference that as sembles in February next into the fold, but whether successful or not, a Peo ple's Party Presidential ticket will be placed in the field next year. The national committee of the Peo ple's Party met at the Hotel Emery to day and installed H. E. N. Taubeneck of Illmois as chairman. and Robert Schilling of Wisconsin, secretary, and informally discussed a plan for a vigor ous campaign all over the country. Ohio will be the first point of attack. A State ticket is to be placed in the field next month, and Congressman Simpson, Gen. Weaver and others will stump the State from one end to the other. A national campaign fund of $100,000 is also to be raised. Couldn't Endorse the Platform. ST. PAUL, May 25.-Sidney M. Owen, the Minnesota Alliance candidaste for governor, although an enthusiastic third party man, said last evening that he could not endorse the Cincinnatti platform. Briefly, he said: "I am in favor of government ownership and operation of the railroads. I am also a believer in bimetallic currency, but I do not believe in fiat money on the sub treasury scheme." An Ugly Affailr. NINErY-SIX, S. C., May 27.-The dead body of a white baby was found in Sat Luda River, near this place, on Sunday last. At the inquest yesterday the tes timony developed facts which resulted in the arrest of a prominent young la dy. Quite a prominent gentleman here is thought to know something about it, and further developments are watched for eagerly. Kills Two Officers. BIRMINGHAM.~, Ala., May 25.-At Clements, Tuskaloosa county, last night, two officers, names unknown, surround ed the house of Jim Morrison, a notori ous outlaw, and attempted to arrest him. Morrison opened fire, killing both offi cers, and was himself dangerously wounded, but escaped. JOSEPH F. RHAME, ATTORY EY AT L AW, MAN{NING, S. C. JOHN S.
