THE STATE PROSECUTIONS. A Letter From Senator Butler. EDoEFIErn, S. C., Sept. 13,.1877. Captain. James X. Lipscomb, Vhappet' Depot, S. C.; MyDju Sin : Your letter of the 10th instant was received last night on my return from Aiken Court. "You eneloso a letter of Septcem ber 2 from Charleston to the New York &117, written, I presume, by tIe correspondent of that paper fr6m Charleston, in which it it made to appear that I advised the discontinuance of the proseentions against the Radical ex-officials, with sundry other charges which I can not repeat in detail. You say that the reading of this letter "produced a feeling of horror and dread throughout the State, and many of your .(my) most devoted political and perscnal friends are deeply ex orcised over it," and beg 1ne to "brand it in the most public and decided manner." I proceed to brand it by saying that whoovor siiys, or intimates, or hints that I have advised the discont inua,eo of the said prosecu tions is a liar, and whoever beliovcs! it is A simpleton. Now, I think, the branding part has been done, and for the lublivit,y, I will have to depend upon you. This letter to tho Sun. is written as I am informed, by a Radical ox official of South Carolina, nov living in Charleston, who got his position by troachory, sustained himself whilO there by duplicity, and having boon ousted on account of his imbo u-ility and venality, now sooks to make a living by lying and slander. The letter which you eiloso is a specimen of his capacity in thIat line and one copied in the Journul Of omnnnerce, of the 12th instant, wherein he rofers to my having pu - ohnsed a "State warrant," is another. I never before heard of Sucell ht a)Itper a "State warran t," such as lhe describes,- and the statement is, therefore, a lie muade out of the whole cloth. It is bad enough to be villied andl 'tred by Rad ical political traders, but when one who hais tried to (do the becst he could1 for the State and the restoration of good government, and who feels that while he doees not pretend to have been entirely unselfish, yet lie made some personal sacrificos for. the public,.good, has to ha~ 4 bjected to the suspicion of his .fi ende, who ought to know that such statements are false, is somewhat discouraging. I do not deny that I have exerted myself earnestly to secure my seat in the United States Senate. I have felt that it wvas my duty to do so, but I have made no bargains to secure may election, as you yout knowv, andashall make none to get my sent. My being seated may help the State in the estimation of some, but the seating of my~, comp)etitor would no doubt be regarded by all as a public calamity. If I am to suc(ced, I must be allowved to do sfin my own way, and not be turned aAido by every lying scribbler, wvlfo 'ses fit to slander me ; if not, I had better; abandon the field, and let Corbin take tihe seat or some other Richmond enter the field. I do not meani by this that I am beyond or ab)ovecriticismn, but I do mean to la that suspicions and "dreadg' based upon01 such stzff as that contain)ed in the oitlosod letter to the Sun, which, in every essential particular is false ad iar - as i.t ?elates to me, is disgusting and absurd. I have had nothing to do with the prosecu tions of the Radical ex-oilicials. It is not my business, and I have par. posoly avoided all conneoJfiopa with them, Ijbaye expressed my opinion to members of the commnittee and to Gener-al Conner, the attorney genoral, as to the manner of con ducting those proscutions, and shall exercise that privilege again whena ever ng $udgmnen leads ine to do so and'tho'ed'gdeitnen are willing to hoar mue. I think the committee of investi. gation and the attorney general have dov~ we[~ uind .re en$rtled to the higheutd ': mxndations for their service, b'ut I certainly have a right to an opinion. My being a senator Ileot surely doen not denrive me of this. If it does, the senator elect may go, and I will maintain my right,.and if scurvy scribblers mis represent my opinions and actions, and friends suspect or doubt thmi, why I can only despise the one and pity the oher. You need not have apologized for having written me as you have. I should have felt hurt had you not done so with the information in your possession. I beg that you will give this lotter whatever publicity you think tho occasio requires. Thank ing you for your kindness, I am, very truly, your friend, M. C. BUTLER. ESTABLISH ED IN 1859.
