We published last week , the full text of that bond for $15,000, given by citizens of Gaffney to Cherokee county, for the purpose of securing the building of a court Douse and jail. We did not comment on it, nor even cull attention to it, at the time of its publication, because we wanted the people to read it just as it is, to put their own construction on it, and to digest it for themselves, without any helps or hindrances from others. We hope the process of digestion has been completed by this time, even to the extent of all the “whereases” and the “therefores,” and that the people are now in condition to take an intelligent and unprejudiced view of the whole matter. Now, we think that it is clear from the tone and wording of that bond, as well as from the circumstances under which it was given, that the whole meaning and purpose of the bond were to enforce the contract with the county to build the court house and jail, and not to pay the county or anybody else $15.COO. The people of Gaffney contracted to fur nish these buildings without any ex pense to the county at li.rge, and the bond was given to enforce the con tract. JWhen the contract is fulfilled the bond is dead. Of course if the signers of t j ? bond choose to pay $15,000 now or any time within twelve years, they can do so, and then the obligation is dis charged, because they will have paid the forfeit. It is puerile to quibble over mere words in a bond of this kind. We want only the true meaning, intent and spirit. When we stickle over separate words or phrases, we get into endless difficulties. For instance, it is stated in the bond that the buildings and grounds are to cost $15,000. Now who can project buildings that shall cost ex actly $15,000. What contractor can plan a building which in strict hon. esty will cost just that amount to a cent or even to a dollar? Again they are to be suitable build ings, and their suitableness is tc be decided by the county commissioners. Anyone can see the wide margin offered for wrangling in the word suitable. What suits one man will not suit another. The county com- missiones have already pronounced the buildings and grounds offered suitable, and it is so recorded in their own minute book. But immediately comes Mr. Hardin and the grand jury, and declare that they are not suit able. Again, that bond, in case of forfeit, is to be paid to the trustees, or “their heirs, executors administrators, as signs, and successors in office.” Now, the trustees have already gone out of office, and will any sane man assert that their heirs, executors or administrators cun ever collect ono dollar of that bond? Would it not be violating the whole spirit of the bond, If at the expiration of twelve years, these trustees should all he dead, and these bond signers should pay $15,000 to the heirs of the trus tees, who would not be under the slightest legal obligation to pay it over to the county? It may be suid that the county commissioners are “successors In office.” We seriously doubt if this fact could be legally and technically established. If it could be, thrn Mr. Hardin had no grounds for asserting, us he did in one of his first letters, that the county commissioners had no right to accept property from Gaffney as an equivalent for that bond. If it could not be, then us county com missioners it was not only their right hut their du*y to do what in their judgment was for the best in terest of the whole county, Gaffney included; and Mr. Hardin still had no right to dispute their preroga tive. But we mention these points, and we could easily mention others, merely to show how misleading sin gle words and phrases may sometimes be when taken out of their connec tions and considered by themselves; how impossible it is to write any ar ticles of agreement that will contain no word with which a caviler may not vitiate the spirit of the whole agreement; and how unju»t and un reasonable it is in this instance to insist upon the literal fulfillment of every word contained in that bond. Yet it seems to us that is exactly what Mr. Hardin has been doing. He insists that exactly $15,000 must be paid because it is so nominated in the bond; that no equivalent, though it may suit both parties far better, will answer—that no other arrangement, though it may carry out the spirit and meaning of the bond more fully than any literal con struction could, can be allowed. This is just the thing that Shylock insisted upon before the court of Venice, but it might be well for Mr. Hardin to remember the difficulties and dangers that confronted Shylock when the court gave judgment in favor of the plaintiff. We will new give some facts and figures showing the spirit that has actuated the town of Gaffney. The city hall which has been offered court house, cost,including cells for a for jail, between $12,500 and $13,000. The lot fronting Limestone street, on which it stands, 100 by 200 feet, is estimated by good judges of property to be worth $2,000. The lot offered for the jail contains 1 27-100 acres, with two streets and an alley, and is valued at $1,250. The total- of these amounts is in round numbers $10,000, which Gaffney now offers in liquida tion of a $15,000 bond, which has eleven years to run without interest. Incidentally Gaffney is paying 0 per cent per annum on $10,000 of bonds running twenty years, issued for money with which to build that hull. This interest will amount in twenty years to $12,000, Further, the expenses incurred by the town in the formation of the county amounted to about $3,000. Add all these amounts and you have a total of $31,250, which Gaff ney has paid or will pay for the ben efit of the county. Is there a reason able man in the world who will say that the town is not trying to do her full duty to the county—to do all and more than all that she has prom ised to do? Is there a disinterested man in Cherokee county, with the heart and soul of a man within him, who will demand that she shall still do more? We don’t believe it. It is charged that the commission ers have no right to accept a settle ment until the expiration of twelve years. Head the bond again, and you will see that it is to bo null and • void if the conditions are fulfilled within twelve years. If that does not mean that the whole, matter cun be settled any time during these twelve years, then there is no certain meaning to be attached to words, and Mr. Hardin who wrote the bond, ought not to be trusted with their use. A further complaint has been urged that changes must be made in the hall to udapt it to court house purposes. Let it ho remembered that the county lias to pay $120 for the use of the hull for twelve years, and that this amount, small as it is, will make tlie necessary changes, and giv** the county a finer and better court house than any other new county in the Htato can afford to own. Finally we submit only two ques tions to the intelligent, honest and high toned people of the county: Is it not better for this whole business to be settled now? And has not Gaffney made a fair and honest offer? WHAT FOR’ Wo have been anxious to know ex actly what are the grounds upon which the United States is to go to war with Spain, and we have been expecting for a month that somebody either in Congress or in the White House, or in the nation at large, would tell us specifically what is the matter. But thus fur nobody bus told it. One or two newspapers have declared that the Maine disaster is the”true casus belli; but the author ities treat that as only an incident. Then the President talks about injury to commerce, (Spain's cruelties to the recoucuntrudos and everybody utters vague things about humanity and the obligations of this gre.it government, but nobody seems to know exactly why we must fight. ) If we must avenge the Maine and the murder x)f our Beamen, let the au thorities say so, and we'll avenge by having thousands upon thousands of other brave men butchered, sorrow and desolation carried into thousands of homes and, after all, we’ll exact from Spain a poor, pitiful indemnity in money bucked by some vague and uncertain promises for the future, and call it all vengeance and main tenance of the honor of the flag. If we are to redress injuries to our commerce, incident upon the war waged by Spain in Cuba, then we 11 do it by inaugurating a war in which no American merchantman can cross the sea without an armed escort— a war that will inflict a thousand fold more injury upon American commerce than that which we redress, and will create a pension roll that will go on lengthening like some ominous, lugu brious shadow for a hundred years to come—and all because some few gold worshippers in New York or Boston have not been making the money that they made beforo'the rebellion broke out in Cuba, and they denomi nate the disappointment of their greed an injury to commerce. Is it for humanitarian purposes we must fight—to punish Spain for the cruel ties perpetrated on the reconcentra- dos whom we are now feeding and clothing? Then we jump into the deep seu to escape the devil, and in stitute a reign of cruelty wider and more fiendish than that of the Span ish atrocities; while for every life de stroyed by Spanish barbarity, we of fer a hecatomb of lives, and for the deprivations and sufferings of a few thousands on the island of .Cuba we blight the happiness of thousands of American homes and fill them with unconsolable sorrow. And we call it all war for humanity sake. Perhaps in the end we shall compel Spain to say officially that she ought to have dealt a little more tenderly with the non combatants of Cuba, and if so, wc shall consider that our humane aspirations have been amply vindicated. Such is the picture which the pros pective war with Spain presents to our vision. But whatever may be the purpose or the result, it would seem at least courteous and appropriate for the war howlers who do not expect to do any of the fighting themselves, to let the country know exactly for what it is expected to fight. If Spain has bullied us or given us the lie, or tohl lies on us behind our backs, why, according 10 the code of honor usu ally recognized among bullies, we should give her a black eye. If she blew up the Maine, according to the law that exacts an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we should blow her up. But by all means let the country know what she has done and why we are to undertake to chastise her. ON TO CHARLESTON.

According to Josh Billings, the wise man is not he who never makes a mistake, but he who never makes the same mistake twice. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The election of the State prohibi tion ticket would show the sentiment of the people, but that is all. As for that, public sentiment has been tested heretofore and declared to be in favor of prohibition by a strong majority. But in answer to that sentiment the Legislature gave us the dispensary. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Adjutant D. A. Thomas, of the Cherokee Regiment U. C. V., has been appointed Aide-de-Camp to Brig. Gon. Carwile, commanding the 2nd bri gade of veterans, and will take a po sition on his staff with the rank of Major. This is a handsome and well merited compliment paid to one of the truest and bravest of the actors in the bloody drama of the sixties. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Rome men were bom in the objec tive case, and mustr necessarily, in accordance with their instincts, ob ject to everything. They objected to Cherokee county ; and if they could find nothing else to object to, they would object to the State of South Carolina, tho earth’s equator and the north pole. Now, we submit that objectioos are not arguments; neither are they evidences of superior wisdom or power. The trpe question In re gard to any subject of controversy is, whether objections overbalance merit, or whether more numerous and weighty objections might not be urged against any substitute or alter native. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The rebellion in the Citadel Acad emy is just what might have occur red in any other college in the State, and it would be unfair and unjust to make that occurrence a plea for an attack upon tho institution. There are other grounds upon which an attack may be made. The State no longer needs that school, if Clemson is to be maintained on the scale now projected. For the State to sup port two colleges to do exactly the same work is as expensive and unwise us it would be for a privatj college to employ two professors to teach tie same class. There is no sense, nor economy, nor religion in it—nothing but childish and foolish extrava gance. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ War is virtually determined, and those who take stock in it may get ready. Both houses of Congress have ordered the expulsion of the Spaniards from Cuba, by the armed forces of the United States. The President will call for 70/0) vol* unteers in a few days and 100,000 more later, if necessary. State troops will not be called out under their present organization owing to a con stitutional difficulty in the way if ordering them beyond the limits of the State. Volunteers will elect their company officers, and field officers will bo appointed. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will be made a Major General. Spanish subjects are get ting away from our shores in quick time. With cause or without cause, justly or unjustly, the ball is about to open, and active hostilities may soon be expected. This is about the war status at this writing on Tuesday afternoon. If further startling developments should be made before we go to press they will be announced in another column. Hcwell’s Ferry Hapenings. (Con espondcnce of The Ledyer.) Howell’s Ferry.
