EVANS 1)1.SIMONS A liY l,AW.
The Evans Dispensary law will
not go into effect until .July 1st,
18(Jd, and the temperance peop'e are
contemplating measures to prevent
its active operation in some Counties.
Gov. Tillman is disposed to complain
that they do not propose to co-operate
with him in giving the law a
fair trial. The prohibitionists, as
wo understand, do not intend to
use any measures to prevent the op
oration of the law except the provisions
of tlie act itself. The law requires
a majority of the freehold
voters to sign the petition of the applicant
for the position of County
Dispenser before the appointment
can be made. Now, if a majority of
these voters refuse to sign any petition
for County Dispenser, are not the
1:?: r . ? 1 i i '.in
nonunions or me law compiled wun:
If the law does not make it optional
with the freeholders to sign, what
was the sense of putting the condition
in the law? The Governor cannot
reasonably complain, if a majority
of freehold votes refuse to endorse
any one's application for the
position of County Dispenser, because
the law leaves it discretionary
with the voters whether they
sign or decline to sign or
not. The law, as we understand, is
a more stringent and restrictive
local option measure than any hitherto
enacted in this State. This act
restricts tho voters on the measure
to freeholders, whereas former local
option laws required or allowed all
legal voters to participate in the
election. This seems to be a reason
able construction of the law, unless
the aim and intention were to force
a majority of the freehold voters t<>
endorse the measure nolens volenti.
The law does not require the signatures
of a majority of tho freehold
voters for the establishment of a
Dispensary, but it does to secure the
appointment of a Dispenser. A
Dispensary without a Dispenser is
useless. Some men may be constituted
like certain County Commissioners
in North Carolina who refused a
license to a man to sell whiskey on
the ground that the application for
su?h a position was sufficient proof of
a man's lack of good character. The
bare fact that tho appointee is a
State or Countv ollicer does not alter
the fact that the employment is disreputable.

of tlio law is the encouragement
it gives homo manufacturers. The
Stale Commissioner must give the
preference in his purchases to homo
made whi Key. This will impart
new life aeu energy in the distillery
business, which may prove a blighting
curse to communities. The
saddest commentary on the whole
law is that the great and proud State
of South Carolina has provided for
the institution of certain ollicos that
Christian gentlemen would not be
willing to fill. The law can acoom
plish good only by the temperance
people uniting and withholding their
sanction to the establishment of
County Dispensaries by refusing to
endorse the application for County
Dispenser. The law is as virtually
obeyed in this as it would he in the
other way.
A Misconception.
Columbia Register.
lathe House of Representatives lust
Saturday Mr. J. L. McLaurin delivered an
oniony of the life and work of the late
Congressman Stack house, the full text of
which ia published on another page of to
day's paper.
We cannot endorse all that was said by
the brainy young Representative of the
p. 0 Deo District. His praise and hlg^i
estimate of General Stack house aro eminently
correct, but exceptions can be taker
to his references to the history of this
Slate, which should bo, held in high es
teem by nil of its sons*
There was a revolution in this State,
vhich culminated i.i victory in 1800The
cause and scope of this pollt: nl
movement have beeu misunderstood and
misrepresented very often, especially In
stump speeches. It was not a revolt of
the poor against the rich, because the lutter
exceeded the former In the possession
of this world's goods, nor of the 11
literate against the educated, nor of the j
humble against these high in life; it was |
simply an awakening of the mass of the
people to their power if they acted in
concert and the arousing of a determination
in them to act together.
Mr. Mc.Laurin speaks of the War of Secession
as a civil revolution, lie says;
"The condition of affairs in the State l>e
fore that revolution was peculiar, resulting
from the ideas of tlio old world trans
planted in tlio now and the attempt to
ingraft them into the society and polity of
the colony. In the course of time an
aristocracy based on a sluvootracy doini
natedold South Carolina and completely
controlled her social, political and industrial
destinies. This necessarily created
two clases as distinct as the Patrician and
Plebeian orders of Home. The large slave
owners became the rulers and olllce-hol
dors, and the masses of the people were
xegarded as unfit to govern. It was an
1
iiiii'ii'iam, ni-uuni mm uncompromising
free speech, free thought and independence
of action,"
We cannot endorse^ t hose asertlons be
cause we do not think they are borne out
in fact. We do believe that South Caro
linn upto 18U0 was dominated by n small
propotion of its citizens, hut we do not
believe that this rulling element w is linked
together by "alaveoc.racy" nor aristocracy.
They were linked together by a
community of interests. The blame
should not rest upon them for thoit success
in holding the reins of government
but upon the people, who, by their imllffernce
and lethargy, permitted such things
to he. If the test of a man's fitness for
public service b id been bis blue blood,
bis arb too racy, whether based ou his ancestry
or his possessions of money or
slaves how comes it that a man with the
bar sinister on his shield was honored in
the most signal manner by the people of
this State?
There has never been a time in the his
1 tory of this grand old State when a man
could not push to Iho front if he were
j sufllcientiy endowed with the brain and
energy. Mr. Meljaurln names lliiynet
( Calhoun an 1 Itliott as true representatives
! of old South Carolinr. Does ho think
j lor n moment that any one of this lllusi
tious trio was put in high olllco because
j he was a member of any class, because
! there was an nsimo-ttdlv t?liu? cir/ml/ i>, 1.5^
blood or because ho was rich? Wo trow
not. They worn honored because they
worn worthy of honor; because they worn
men of brain and>liQart who loved their
State and would have died for her. Their
record as statesmen proved that trust reposed
in them was not misplaced, llayne
has always been an illustrious name in
South Carolina, from the time when
Issac I lay no, a pure and true patriot, was
hung in Charleston by the British, to the
present. But (j.tlho 111 can be accused of
neither aristocracy nor wealth. Ills lack
of this world's goods made it necessary
for him to work on the farm for years
when he wanted to be pursuing his stud
ies. Ho hud to make tho money with
which to push his education. Decidedly
his was not an aristocracy of wealth.
Nor was it an aristocracy based on ancestry.
Ills grandfather was an Irish emigrant,
coming from Donegal to Pennsylvania,
His father was born in Ireland
and his only claim to distinction in this
country was his bravery in lighting the
Cherokee Iadians. John C. Calhoun
tilled the highest positions in the grift of
his native State because of his own tran
Kcendont powers, and recognition of tlies;>
same powers procured for him the Vice
Presidency and the positions of Secretary
of State and Secretary of WarTake
McDulUe, another illustrious citizen
of South Carolina. Ho was born in
Georgia and was clerk in that State before
he moved into this State and studied law.
Family influence did not procure for him
the many honors with which he was
crowned. He rose to bo Governor by
power of ids genius and his learning, and
the same influences carried him to Congress,
where he won fame as a statesman
of depth and brilianco.
Take (J. U. Momminger of Charleston
How did ho come to occupy so high a
place in the honrf-i of hi* follim-cPi v
llo was roared in the orphan home, but
this did not keep him in the rear. He
was a man of too much heart to bo kept,
in the rear, and ho left a name and memory
which is honored and loved to this
day in Cha.loston and wherever his philanthropy
and ePorts for the elevation of
his fellow man ere known.
A. small class did hold a dangerous
amount of power in this State in past times
but it is wrong to say they tyrannized over
the other classes. If there was any tyranny
it was permitted by the musses,
for they made no protests, and had
they, at any time, risen in their
might, they could as easily have
taken entire charge of the State
government as they did in 1800,
under the leadership of Till num.
Before the war it was natural that
the large plan tors acted together.
They were bound by many tins
Their interests united them, and
their wealth left them free to engage
in affairs of state. The masses were
not so free to delve into politics, had
they did not act in concert. This
indifference 011 their part was the
sole cause of the ascendency of the
wealthy planter class. This class,
1 however, did not put its ban upon
1 any man who desired to rise, and

because bo was of the people bo was
not fit to hold office.
Mr. McLaurin remarks that "nttl1
lification and secession were the
legitimate fruits'' of the state of
things ho lias pictured. Surely lie
i does not mean to denounce nullilii
cation and say secession was not
right. It will bo hard to brinjr
South Carolinians to entertain this
view. They are proud of the record
the State made in those two stormy
epochs. lie says the ulwlition of
slavery destroyed the old condition
of affairs. "The shackles of caste
were removed and the artificial dis
tinotiou of c'asses abrogated. The
farmer and workingtnap claimed
thoir God given rights and boldly
un?l defiantly entered the political
arena. This changed condition did
bring about an irrepressible confliel
between the reconstructed orders ol
society.
It is our conception that there were
no "shackles of cofte," and had tin
mechanics and suiull farmers at an)
time entered the political arena as
"boldly and defiantly'* as they did tinder
Tillman they would have niel
not with the same success.
There never was a day in the his
tory of the Stale of South Ctlrolim
where a poor boy could not rise fron
the ranks like Calhoun to the highes
position if ho had the requisite intellect
and push and energy.

His lligli Sense nl' Private Ami

To the Kditor of Tin? News unci (-'our
ier: Tim writer of tli<> able and intoros
ting ''Life unci Times of Blaine," publish
ed on the lirst page of your issue of th
28th ult, falls into a serious error near th
elose of that article. It occurs in his in
cidcntal allusion to Mr. Calhoun. In th
first place, he is wrong in the idea that tin
great statesman ever allowed his curren
expenses, in Washington or elsewhere, t
exceed his income. He was too pruden
and inexpensive in Ids habits for that t
have occurred.
But tin* error I am most disposed to cor
rect is implied in the following statement
"Friends in Charleston raised severs
thousand dollars in order that he (Mr
Calhoun) might continue, unembarrassed
his splendid services for his country.
That way of putting the case makes th'
impression that Mr. Calhoun accepter
from friends gratnitious pecuniary aid
but he never did any such tiling, lie wa
very far from being that sort of man
Maidy independence was the strongos
instinct of his noble nature.
Bet me here briefly relate the facts o
the case (as r ported to me about the tinu
of their occurrence by those who scoiner
to know all about them,) which doubtles
gave rise to the distorted version that ha
subsequently reached you. A your or t\v<
before his dcn'h anxious triemis discover
ed that Mr. Calhoun's health was impaired
a son voyage was suggest d hv good uu
hority as probably the best remedy in hi
ease, and then various personal friend
and ardent admirers urged him to make i
tour to Europe. Very many who urge*
him to that course were not only deopl;
solicitous about the restoration of hi
health, but they also greatly desire*
that the leading statesmen of Kurop*
should see and converse face to face witl
the greatest political philosopher that thi
country had ever produced. lie thoi
frankly told his zealous friends that lit
was not able to afford the necessary ex
penses of such a journey. He in forme*
them that he had a n ate in bank for mono;
borrowed to assist one of his sons in tin
purchase of a plantation in Alabama, an*
that it was necessary for him to hushun*
his inoncis in order to be prepared to pa;
that note at its maturity. Immediately 01
receipt of this information a number o
wealthy gentlemen in Charleston proceed
ed to pay that note in full and tendere*
it gs a present to Mr. Calhoun, but In
promptly and positively declined to ucccp
it, while lie thanked those gentlemen mos
heartily for their kind intention an*
touching regard for him.
1 lis reason for declining to accept tin
unsolicited and generous pecuniary favo
of such noble friends was highly characteristic
of the man. I to said as a puhll
servant, whose first duty was to his conn
try, he could not consent to place liimsel
under pecuniary obligations to p rsona
friends. Political issues might arise ii
respect to which an honest, difference o
opinion might come to exist between tlios
very friends and himself. Under sucl
circumstances his sense of gratitude woul*
toiul, unconsciously, to swerve his view
to agree with theirs, or, should he main
tain the opposite course, he would lay him
self open to the painful reproach of ingrn
tltiule. Ho therefore felt it his duty t
preserve that pers >nul independence whicl
would ever leave him ontirely free to pur
suo that course in political life which In
should honestly deem right and best fo
the welfare of his country.
Ah, sir! There were not only intellec
tual, but also moral and patriotic "giant
in thoso days," and John C. Calhoun wa
in every way "the noblest Roman of ther
all!"- Sans pour et sans reproche!

I express thb gravest disapprobation of a
I public mau suffering himself to be uuder
t pecuniary obligations to his constituents,
F or any of them, and 1 am sure he would
never have fallen into such an error him3
self.
3 Hut as 1 have a personal knowledge of
r facts which may bo the foundation of what
i Mr. Ayor has heard about Mr. Calhoun,
and the pecuniary aid the people of South
L Carolina would gladly have extended to
him if it had been consistent with his
high and strict principles to accept it, I
i gladly avail of this occasion to make them
i public. These facts are given in a inot
inoir of my brother, the late Mr. Henry
Oourdin. Here is an extract from uiy
manuscript containing them:
"It was the memorable winter of 1850.
The slavery question was agitating the
country as it had not before. Mr. Calhoun
I was in his seat In the United States Senate,
j his grout powers strung to their extremest
tension, Ms too frail body sinking under
tlie strain. Intelligence of this alarming
and deplorable condition of our great
l" Senator reached Charleston early in March
and it was resolved at once by a few in''
lluential gentlemen of our community, if
it was possible to do so, to withdraw him
from the Senate immediately, and resort
'' to every expedient known to human skill
and afforded by climate to arrest his dl1
House and restore him to health. My
" brother was prominent in this movement;
' indeed he was the centre of it, for much
() of the correspondence and w rk necessary
to the success ?f this measure was
done at his desk in ids ofllce and by him.
' Money was necessary. A circular was
' prepared and dispatched to partios having
the means to contribute and the senslhil'
itios to understand the delicacies of the
situation. It was not a charity that was
" advocated, but a loving tribute to exalted,
' sublimest worth that was proposed. This
' circular was not broadcast in the cotntnu*
s nity. Responses wore immediate, enclos'
ing checks for amounts varying from $100
' to $1,000, and in a fortnight some $27,000
received and subscriptions were still com'
ing in. Rut this measure was in vain: it
came to naught. Mr. Calhoun died sud'
denly in the early morning of the 8lst,
March.
"Apart from the aversion Mr. Calhoun
' would very naturally feel to be under pecuniary
obligation to anyone or to any
number of persons, it was with him, as
was Well known, a nolltir.nl nritielnln flint
H u public man should never accept gifts of
s money from his constituents. I heard
1 him express this opini >n on a certain oc'
cusloii, nml it was feared that scruples on
v this point might defeat the movement.
Hut there w:.s so much more than appre'
elation of Mr. Calhoun's genius and use,
l< fulness; 1 mean these was so much of ten1
der regard, of aiTection for ids person, in
s this whole proceeding, which he could not
1 have failed to observe, that it was thought
'' he could scarcely have resisted the importunities
of a delegation such as would
' have proceeded to Washington and asked
^ on the part of themselves and those they
represented the grateful privilege of car'
ing for him nnd providing for his relief,
^ perhaps for the preservation of ids life.
v Hut the event it was devoutly desired to
1 avert and to defer to the latest period allotted
to man's lile here occurred, and if
Mr. Calhoun heard of the measures of
which I am writing, they who conceived
and were executing them have never
t i
learned what were ids views and feelings
j concerning them.
"Mr. Calhoun having died, of course
the money received for his relief would
have been returned to tho subscribers; but
it transpired that he left an encumbered
estate, and a circular was addressed to
them stating the fact, and suggesting the
j. application of tho fund to the relief of Ids
I estate, and the balance, if any and whatever
it might be, to his widow. There was
w
. not a dissenting reply to this proposition.
About twenty thousand dollars was re'
quired for the relief of the estate, and my
j brother remitted the palance, some seven
or eight thousand dollars, to Mrs. Calhoun
"My brother's connection with these
measures was to him in after years ? subject
for grateful remembrance and r?fW
lion.
| "The circulars and papers which would
have given tho history of tills transaction
wore destroyed by Sherman's army when
it asked Col. Macfarland's house in Cher
raw in 1805. My memory is, however,
perfectly clear as to all 1 liuve Just stated."
1 am probably the only one living having
personal knowledge of tho transactions
here related.

^ you toll the truth you can tell it
without thinking. Your memory
may be faultry, btit you tell your

to stop to remember how you told it
yesterday. You don't get half through

1 you are not telling it as you did the

just how you did tell it then. You
