Tillman attempts to justify his course in directing Solicitor Jervey to prosecute the Denmark lynchers by giving tlie example of Gov. Jeter ordering Solicitor Colliran to go to Edgefield and take charge of the prosecution against certain parties of that county. It seems to us that Governor .leter's letter is in exact accord with Solicitor Jervey's contention?that the persecution was begun by the Solic itor, but Cot bran was ordered to ap- ! pear in Court and represent the State. Here is Gov. Jeter's letter; "Pm i'\i?!i Si Si.iiil oil l ecu V, VIM .? iM/t? ?v V/ ) lUUV'i "To las. 8. Got bran, Solicitor Eighth Circuit, Abbeville, S. C.: "Dear Sir: Whereas indictments are to be made against A. A. Glover and A. A. Olvsby at the noxt, October term of Court of General Ses sions, for Edgefield county, for the murder of Dr. Bland, and it appearing to my satisfaction that K. (J.

EdgeGeld '.Court House on the first Monday of October next for the purpose of representing the State in the prosecution of the cases against said A. A. Glover and A. A. Clysby and those growing out of them. Thomas B. Jkttkk, "Governor." There is some talk of an extra j session of the legislature being called at an early day. The Columbia correspondent of the Ari irxand Courier says a prominent Tillinanite puts the case thus: There is a very strong possibilty that the Supreme Court will overthrow at least that section of the dispensary law which shows a dissimilarity between tho law as published and the journal of the Senate. J n case that is done, there is no provision in the bill for a legal profit 011 liquors sold by the counties. Tho Court would, it is said, have no right to construe what was the intention of the Legislature, as its functions are entirely judicial and not legislative. The information goes even so far to say that after the bill had been examined it was advised that the bill showed a bad error and that the best thing to do was to call an extra session of the Legislature, and 'it is even suggesed that such a course would have been seriously considered had it not been for alleged reflections against Speaker Jones. Then it is generally granted that the hill needs repairing in certain particulars on account of hasty legislation and the new ideas tbat have been developed on certain parts of the law. In addition to the scare of the ? Administration about tlie dispenssry law there are a few who are afraid that the Court may want something done about the bonds, hut that is even more remote than tiie doubt about the dispensary bill. Moreover it is hinted that the can cus at the Governor's mansion thought that a little legislation on the railroad question would not he amiss. There are some who go so i HI u> IU wnggroi/ tuiit un ciiui w is to be made to confiscate that charters of the railroads. The Administration is in a somewhat sorry plight as to means and ways to continue the night. There are other reasons given for the possible extra session. The fact, however, remains that the one man who holds the key to the situation says that there is nothing in the matter. Governor Tillman is not just now saying anything about any extra sessions, and nothing is going to he done until he makes tip his mind to that effect. Saturday evening he said that he had nothing to say on the subject. That settled it for the time being. A big leather trust with a reported capital of $120,000,000 has been organized in New York. President Clevland has been annoyed and harassed by an army of c importunate office-seekers in Washington, interrupting the discharge of public business, that he has seen proper to give these office seekers their conge in tho following ordor: Kxecutive Mansion, May 8, 1803. j ? It has become apparent after' two months' experience that the rules j heretofore promulgated regulating interviews with the President have ' ; wholly failed in their operation. The time which under those rules was I set apart for the reception of Sena: tors and Representatives has been almost entirely spont in listening to j applications for ollice, which have j been bewildering iti volume, perplex' ing and exhausting in their iteration and impossible of remembrance. A duo regard for public duty, which must be neglected if present condi' tions continue, and observance of the limitations placed upon human endurance, obliire me to decline I from and after this date all personal 1 interviews with those soekinguppoint- 1 nn nts toollleo except as I, on my own motion, may especially invite x them. The same considerations 1 make it impossible for mo to receive 1 those who merely desire to pay their f respects except on the days and dur- 1 ing the hours especially designated ( for that purpose. I earnestly request Senators and Representatives 1 to aid me in securing for them nnin- * terrupted interviews by declining to c : inrtoduce the'r constituents and 1 friends when visiting the Kxecutive c mansion during the hours designated fur their reception.

Deak Slit: I desire to call your t attention ollicially to tho recent lynching at Denmark in connection with tho following statement: () So fur no warrant has been sworn y out by anyone against any person , supposed to be connected with tho affair, and tho proceedings and verdiet of the jury of inquest give no (| information upon which the prosccu v tion can be begun. Under these circumstances, if the f case is to receive that investigation , which its gravity seems to require, it : becomes tlie duty of the executive < ollicer to institute proceedings in tho s promises. 0 Inasmuch as tho violation of tho , law was committed in a community e in which 1 have many relatives and ( connections, it. is not improbable s that some of them were especially, when it is stated that the entire (i community was engaged in the en- , terpriso. Such being the case, any effort on j my part to bring the perpetrators to justice would be embarrasing to me, (*. and probably lay mo open to the charge of partiality and insincerity. , " t 1 would therefore respectfully request that your Excellency would charge the solicitor of one of the ad- i joining circuits to take charge of the / case and would suggest Solicitor ( Jcrvey, whose circuit adjoins this ( county and who nrobablv bottm- nn_ I v ~ " J I tlcrstimds tho situation, could give r} the matter satisfactory attention. I Assuring you that I shall he ready _ ill any time to render such services ^ us the case and my odioo requires, 1 am very respectfully, G. Duncan Bki.lingkk, *, Solicitor of tho Second Circuit. ( It will be remembered that Solici j tor Jervey, upon being called upon to make a speech in the recent in ( dignation meeting, denounced the brutal lynching of IVerson, and the Governor's action in the premises. | KEF1NKMKNT OF SAUCASM.

"Slu: 1 have your letter of the ?th inst, and note its contents. The irdcr for you to proceed to Men nark was based upon an opinion of ho Assistant Attorney Ciouoral, as rtdl as upon my own construction if the powers conferred upon nie tinlor Section 511 of the General Stat itcs. While it may be presumption n mo, a layman, to construe law difiTontly from so distinguished an irnaineut of the bar as yourself, J nsist that you are'splitting hairs,' so o speak. The section above quoted ays: "Solicitors shall do the duty f the Attorney General, and (rive heir counsel and advice to the Govrnorand other State ollicers in maters of public concern, whenever they hall he by them required so to do, nd assist the Attorney General, or noli other in all suits or prosecuions in behalf of the State when di ectcd so to do by the Governor. It s clear from tnis section that the Vttorney General has power to take uiginal proceedings in criminal cass in any county, and it follows that uiy solicitor when ordered by the lovernor can legally do what the \ttornoy General could do. "You will not assert that the disa >ility of the Solicitor of the Second Jircuit paralyzes the law, or deny hat the Judge can appoint a Solici ni' 41loin 1 siiu! 1 bo fonli iilo 11 I.in juage, 'to assist the Attorney Generd or each other,' cannot be construed ,o forbid tin intor-ohnngo of work or iwapping places by the Solicitor, won 'to take original proceedings.'

' said a Senator famous for his conservatism in everything, during a private conversation, "it will bo directly chargahlo to the politicians who intent upon carrying out their theories than upon the welfare of the country at large. There exists not the slightest reason for a panic, and I regard the flurry in Wall street which has crippled the cordage trust and several other similar concerns as beneficial to the country rather than injurious. There was a time when the operators in Wall street were regarded as controlling factors in the finances of the country, but it has long since gone by, and today they are known for just what they are gamblers. They got up the recent scare for the solo purpose of frightening the administration into issuing bonds, and in the end they became its victims, and they have few sympathizers and deserve fewer." While there is no apparent connection between the slump in Wall street and the condition of the Nalional finances there is no question that the situation in Wall street is being used as an argument by those who iirn Irviinr in unrsiiuuln Ppneiilonf Cleveland to call tin immediate extra session of Congress, to deal with financial matters. On the other hand 8otno prominent men svho two months ago were strongly in favor of tin early extra session now doubt the wisdom of calling one. Tnoy argue that in the present unsettled state of pul)l:e sentiment regarding finance it would but add to the stir to have Congress meet and fail to agree upon any financial measure that would meet the approval of the President and those who ought to be host informed on the state of Congressional sentiment insist that such would be the certain result of an extra sesioti at this time. Representative Boon, of Minn., a umiddlo of the read" populists, says the present situation vindicates the position taken by the populists in the last campaign as to the real issue, which they contended was finance, and not the tariff. Mr. Boen believes in the remonetization of silver at full legal tender value. There scents to be a general impression here that the Cieary Chi ncse Exclusion act imII not result in the deportation of any of the numerous Chinamen who ignored it and refused to register. There are two reasons for this opinion, one luing that the Supreme Court, which will hear arguments on the ne"..*^hiw this week, will decide it unconsti tutioiml, and the other that the administration will, even if the law he declared constitutional, not attempt to carry out its provisions. If the administration is opposed to the law t?o it is said to he, it has a good excuse for not carrying it out by shipping the Chinamen back to China, in ihe failure of Congress to appropriate sufficient money to pay for their tickets; but should the Supreme Court decide it unconstitutional no excuse will ho needed f 11 L - 1 _ !?'??

A Tempest in a Tea-pot. Timmon8viu.k, May 4.?The newspapers of the Statu have unintentionally and perfectly naturally, owing to the often publicly expres i sed views of Mrs (Jhapil) on the sub i ject, done injustice to W. C. T. U. ' as an organization by committing it I to the dispensary law. The State I meeting of that body has been in progress hero the past two days. Your correspondent accidentally discovered a tempest in a tea-pot this evening. Mrs MoSwa'n, of Mayesvilie, a bitter opponent of the dispensary, offered some resolutions in a " business meeting this afternoon, among which appeared this one: "Resolved, That any form of reg- j illation of the liquor traffic is wrong \ in principles and ineffective in practice: that we are utterly opposed to 1 any settlement of this question which involves a moneyed compromise on the part of the Government." Mrs Chapin immediately expressed the opinion that this should not pass, as it would ho carrying the Ordor into politics, (!) and on a mo tion to table by Mrs Traxler, without atiy discussion, pit the affirmative of the fjuestion, and declared it carried without giving the negative a chance to vote. Several delegates wore prepared if anything in the bhupe of an endorsement of this iniquitous law should bo attempted to utter vigorous protests, being so instructed by their lodges at home. This was notably the case with Spartanburg and Newbrrry. Your correspondent talked with several delegates this afternoon and found that the only upholders of , the big bar room are Mrs Chapin i and Mrs Traxler. (due lady who 1 was quite outspoken declared her 1 belief that the stand taken by Mrs ] Chapin was the beginning of the downfall of the good of the W. C. ( T II. in the State. Another just as i plain spoken declared the whole < thirg, the holding of the meeting at ' the home of the State dispenser, \ whose wife is president of the local organization, and the invitation to the Rev. John (J. Williams, of Al- , Icndale, an advocate of the dispell- ? sary, to deliver the annual sermon, a j put up-job to commit the Order to , the 10 van's law. One prominent lady stated that ' they wanted the good people <>f the 1 State to understand they were in fa- , vor of no compromise with so great an evil as intemperance, and the rea- , son they did not make this plain at 1 the present meeting was the absence of all their public talkers except Mrs Chapin, their invitations having been recalled, owing to serious illness in the family of Mrs Traxler and their inexperience in parliamentary usage. Of one thing rest well assured?that /it __? * mis vuupiu in ner anient admiration of the dispensary and our "noble'' Governor does not speak the sentiment of the W. (J. T. IT. of South Carolina.
