Our Charleston Letter.
Corfttpondenee of The People :
CUARL83T0H, September 29,1879.
Messrs. Editors : Not only the city
press’but the State papers generally j'
are filled up with artid -s on the con
test now going on in Charleston be
tween the several candidates for Ma'y-
or ; and you will, I hope, excuse me
for eaving that ^hese correspondents
and interviewers do not reflect the
feelings of the citizens in the matter
any more than do the News and Cou
rier and Sunday Times, Gentlemen
vistlng the city come prejudiced by
the statements of the city papers ro-
ferred to, and as rule they are thrown
la with the followers of our candidate
In every instance, and in consequence
the luformation which they aie able to
gather IS entirely exparto In its charac
ter. I do not say that they do this
designedly, for many of thess corre
spondents are really anxious to dis
cover the standing of these gentlemen
with the voters and in their letters
they state what they conscientiously
believe to be the truth. But you can
readily understand how they are mis-
Ip,! Tn tho firnt- nlar>« the N eW8 aI) d
Courier is a strong Cdurtettny orr»s
and has been from the beginning, what
is Its grounds of opposition to Mayor
Sale I am not able to or not willing to
say ; Sales himself might throw some
light on the subject if be felt so dis
posed. But the posltioa^f that paper
and the strength of Mayor Sale in the
city rendered It highly impolitic for
the News and Courier to take any pro
nounced Ptand against him. None
know the great strength of Mayor
Sale better than the heads of that pa
per and the patronage of the Mayor
and the patronage of his numerous
and influential followers prevented the
News and Courier from tnaKing a per
sonal fight against him. The amount
■of capital Invested in that paper was
too great to permit It to take any risk,
and had it adopted the course that its
offspring the Times has, an other
paper would have been started in
Charleston ; and every man in the ru
ral flections of the State knows how
such a move would effoct the News
and Courier. The Times on the other
hand is entirely devoted to the interest
of Mr. Courtenay, and while every com
mendable trait he possesses and every
good deo 1 be perfotms is placed to
his credit; the Times never bos any
thing to say about those traits and
acts whtoh the public presumably dis
likes. But how about its position in
regard to Mr. Sale ? It is simply re
versed. It does not give him credit
for a single good trait or deed ; and if
one was to form his opinion of Mr
Sale from the editorials in the Times
he would be forced to believe that
Sale was.the most infamous wretch on
the globe. Now both men are well
known ia Charleston, and any non
partisan citizen of this city will tell
you that the character, public and prl
vate, of Mr. Sale stands as high as
does Mr. Courtenay or anybody else.
Mr. Sale has no orctan to puff and
pralso him and hurl charges against
his opponent, and for thio reason those
outside of the city have formed very
erroneous views of the two men as
of the noaflnating body if
made.
Is tbis the way a great public Jour
nal should act? It is certainly the
way as class of prominent citizens
haveJoeeu acting Jn this city for some
time. They will tell you and publish
it too in? their .organs and that Sale
says he will abide by the decision of
the convention if he is the nominee,
but that H&-utterly refuses to
himself to do__so if he is not. There Is
no truth whatever In this. He has
from tbo first said emphatically that
ho would abide by the acts of the con
vention unk-sa that body proclaims
fraud. Is he not right? And can any
one blame him for so qualifying hiB
preiaiap. He Is fully conscious of his
strength and also of the intention of
those favoring his opponent to defeat
by any moans In their power. To give
you an idea of how the orgafls work
up things I will give you a little inci
dent which occurred recently. A meet-
lug of Courtenay men was called at a
given point to organize a Courtenay
club. There were present not exceed
ing thirty men all told, and yet the
next morning’s paper had a long ac
count of the large and enthusiastic
meeting of the personal friends of Mr.
Courtenay. The next night the friends
of Mr. C. in another ward held a meet
ing, and no small proportion of the
men present were at the one held the
night before, and again it was report
ed as a large enthut-iastlo meeting of
the friends of Mr. CourtenayH’or that
ward.
Now, Messrs. Editors, I am not writ-
ng for the-purpose of building up one
or these men or throwing down the
other. I believe them both to be good
men and true. I can’t influence a
vote for or against either one, and
would not if I could. But I believe
honestly that unless a better and wiser
council prevails that we will have a
Tammany here which will end not only
ip the defeat of bur city ticket but will
stimulate the radical party to fresh ef
forts which (with Charleston’s large
vote to aid them) will bring’down de
feat on tbe party in the State election.
think it is getting time for men to
throw aside all partisan feelings and
go to work to carty the next election
and unless the people take this mat
ter up and cut all Jco. Kellys oiT as
’ast os they show their bands we can’t
expect anything but defeat. In tbe
—* * '*'*'1 epniious too
we are to Le more careful than ever
before. The will of the majority must
be known beyond a shadow of a doubt,
and when known It must be observed
with religious care. Observer.

At a meeting of the Board o! Direc
tors of the People’s Bank of South
Carolina held on Saturday, It was de
termined to suspend the operations of
LftR&io wind up its aflidra as
soon ns possible ; this step being ren
dered necessary from unefpected 11-
nanclai embarrasements. This bank,
which bos descended directly from the
old People’s Bank of South Carolina
of ante helium days, was reorganized
in January 1870, with Mr. JobnflJ. La-
fltte as president, with a capital based
upon assets valued at $25,000. Mr.
Lafltte was succeeded by Mr. John
Hanckel In April 1871, and he. In turn,
was succeeded by Mr. George Gibbon
in September 1874.'~Jrom the depre
dation in railroad and other securities,
of which the assets of the bank were
argdy made up, tbo capital was in
April 1875 reduced to $80,000.
In January, 1876, when Mr. Albert
Lengnick, the present president, took
charge of the bank, the real cash val
ue of Its capital was estimated at $30,-
000. the nominal being $80,000^ With
this small capital the bank carried on
discount business of from $150,000
to $160,000, the net profits during Mr.
Lengulck’s administration being fully
25 per cent on $30,000. In 1876 the
net profits of the bank were $1,400; in
1877, $7,483 ; in 1878, $7,403 ; in 1870,
up to the 1st of April, $4,800, and
from the 1st of April to date, $3,009.
On Saturday" last - IBe Bank badu
note of $4,500 to meet in the First Na
tional Bank, wbiqb, owing to a loss of
420,000 sustained by a recent comm’er-
dnl failure, it was unable to pay. Ap
plication was made to tbo People’s
National Bank, with which tbu Peo
ple’s Bank did a large discount busi
ness, for further acoommodation, and
t was refused, the president of the
eople’s National Bank taking the
ground that as tbs disbonorod paper
for $20,000 had been rediscounted in
New York and would mature in the
next sixty days, the People’s Bank of
South Carolina would be unable to
weather the storm, and should bus-
lend operations at once.
This action, President Lengnick
holds, waa entirely unnecessary, as
with a little assistance his bank would

deem it important to obtain a moral

To Attain Long Lixe,—He who
strives after a long and pleasant term
of life must seek to attain continual
equanimity, and carefully to avoid
everything which too violently taxes
his feelings. Nothing more quickTy
consumes tbe vigor of life than the
violence of the emotions of the mtrid.
We know-that anxiety and care can
destroy the healthiest body ; we know
that fright and fear, yes, excess of joy,
well as of the strength of their fol- become deadly. They who are natur
ally cool and of a quldt turn of mind
upon whom nothing can make too
powerful an impression, who are not
wont to be excited either by great Joy
have tbe bestchanoeof living long and
happy after manner. Preserve, there
fore, under all circumstances, a com
poaure of mind which no happiness
no misfortune can too much disturb-
Love nothing nothing too violently
hate nothing too paslonately; fear
nothing too atrongly.

Let any one come to Charleston and
go out among the laboring men who
constitute the great mass of our vo

standing of the two men - and don’t go
on Broad street and among the mon
ied men of the city who are interested
in tbe election as they would be in any
other business transaction by which
they expected to make a large sum of
money. They ars the men who brought
out Mr. Courteny and seem determined
to elect him. A correspondent in tbe
Columbia Register of last week heads
his article “ Mayor Sale, an avowed
plotter,’' and then says that in a per- lists, 13,500,000 Roman CatboUcs, 10,

was called, and under tbe circumstan
ces they were compelled to make an
assignment and suspend operations.
As tbe capital of the bank is so small
and Its credit bos ncessarily been af
fected, there is no probability of a re
sumption of operations. Mr. Leng-
uick states very poeltlvely that the
assets of tbe bank are ample to pay
every dollar of its liability, and that
depositors need feel no uneasiness,
The savings department, which is
specially secured, will, be thinks, be
able to pay every dollar of Its liability
by the Hist of Jenuary next.

Trial JrancEjimiES.—An important
point has been made by Mr. H. W.
Rice, t>f tbe Lexington Bar, before the
Court of Sessions in that county. Mr.
Rice’s client bad been found guilty of
petit larceny by a Trial Justice's Jury
of six, and he appealed on the ground
that the Constitution entitled every
man to trial by a jury of twelve. The
Circuit Judge sustained tbe appeal
and It now goes to the Supreme Court.
The law as It stands In the Revised
Statutes is an attempt to mitigate the
costs and other evils of the Jury sys
tem, and It le to be hoped that It will
hold, notwithstanding the acumen of
Mr. Rice, and the learning of the
Judge who sustained him.

Mr. Tliden’e fortune wae largely con
cerned and hie honor directly concern- •
ed; and suppose It had been thus left
open to the Republicans to contend
that Mr. Tllden was an accessory either
before or after the fact of this conceal
ment of evidence ? Suppose that in
1876 the tfaitad States, for tbe Presi
dency of which Mr. Tllden was a can
didate, bud seriously And with careful
preparation instituted under oolorably
proffered evidence an equity suit
against him to recover Immense sums
which, as the Doited States claimed,
represented concealed returns of in
come, concealed to prevent the im
position upon him of a proper harden
of taxation during the war? Suppose
that in 1876 Mr. Tllden had admitted
ly engaged in Immensely speculative
railway transactions, at a time when
the electors were more or less incensed
against the alleged exactions, mono
polies/or exorbitant profits of railway
stockholders? Cannotoorcorrespond
ent see that the possibility of bringing
all these things to bear against a
Democratic candidate for the Preel-
dency—not for the Senate, remember,
or for Congress, or for the Legislature,
or for any subordinate local office—
would have made the Republican at
tack practically irresistible 7 Cannot
our correspondent see that the Demo
cratic party, must inevitably have gone
down the burden of such a defensive
in States Uke Connecticut,
New Jersey, New "York and Indiana,
the electoral results In each of which
are always closely balanced io a poli
tical cosiest7 How far Mr. Tllden
might have been in tbs wrong in any
of these matters would not have en
tered into the case at all. (These
charges were against him, and there
was no chance for success of a ticket
under the circumataaoes with him at
Us head.)
