M1)IS]K An Oft Told Tale, The News and Courier of Satur day contains a report of the ilives tigating Comiitten giving the comn pleto history of the passage of the validating bill, the Bilu Ridge scrip bill, and the financial settlemet bill. The first legalized the fra~i. lent issuo of 86,000,000 of converson bonds, the second issned $1,800.000 of Blue Ridgo scrip, an1d the third mado ia settleoment with %im01)pton, allowing him several hundred thousand dollars as his share of Ihe plundor. Parker, Chamberlainm, Scott, Patterson aind Kimpton were all interested in one or another of these bills, and co'libined to ef teeL their passago. Pattorson issuod tihe following order to Parker, which oxplains itself : Vies-PiErsmNr's Orriwe, Gn,,xviLIJ AND COLmUMA It. I. Co., ComMMA, S. C., iarch 4, 1872. Ron. Ailes G.

Now, if these above named bills are passed and become laws, this order for forty-two thousanid eight hun dred and fifty-seven dlolbirs in serip. at par, is to be paid said Kimpton; and if not passed , thon this ord.er for that amount to bo0 void and the scrip is not to be delivered. Also, that seventy-one thousandl four hundred and fourteen dlollars of scrip, at par, you shall deliver to said Kimpton if saidl bills become laws, and p~rov'ided that lhe shll pay the sum of fifty thousand dol lars, the piroceeds of said scrip at seven ty cents on the dollar, in pay. ing 9e expenses already i ncurred in passing t hrough the Senate the bill knowvn as "A bill to relieve the State of all liability on account of guaran ty of .Blino Ridge Riail1road bonds," &c., p~assed March 2, 1872, which said expensesC said Kimpton has contracted to pay ; and if said Kimpton fails er refuses t~o pay said amounts in (iefraying~ said Cexeses, (when required by mec,) then this or'der' to be voidl. If said conditions are complied with and the amounit of scrip delivered to said Kimipton, he is not to be hold liable for or to account for its vamlue. T1hie ab ove two suims of $42,8530 and 871,414 in scrip, at par, nmako up the anmount of scrip tirst m~ienioned in this order. J~oNw .. 1 ATTrEusoN, President Blue Ridge U. II. Com pan1y in S. 1. * Witness :R. B. Elliott. Kimpton deposited the cash and r'eceived the scrip. The bills passod ad the miembers who su1pported * ~them wore paid from $3000 down to $200 each. The sworn confessions of these br~ibo takers fill almost a whole page of the .News and (?om rier. Judge Maokey was asked to keep the letter for a day or so ; and dying that time he had it, photo ,gMraphed. ..Bothi thi~photographed ~opy and the original aro ini the hands of the Invesiigating Con mitteo. By it, two thioves at least, Patterson and Kimpton, are caught, hopelessly involved in the meshes of the law. Let the courts move on and put theso rascals in the ponitentiary. The N1ational Greenback Party. Thi1o communication from Dr. V. P. Clayton, published in Tm Nsws AND HlEIIALD, announcos the pro, granmno of thoso gentlomon who havo orgimized a National Green - back club at Foas torville. From it we learn four things : that a club of sixtoon membors professilng ad herence to the new party has boon formed ; that theso Lmimbers "ex poet to remain inside of the Demo-. cratic ranks until the fall elootions in this Stato aro held;" that after this time they will "dissolvo all connection with with either of tho old parties and work Only in the interest, of the National Grooinback l ty of the IUited Stats;," an1d that "this work [tihe now party] tlhey conlfidently exploet to puh to a su1cessful issue in 1880."' It Irs beeni tie clustom of Tuaam NEws I AND HEuRL) n1o to tako sido.4 inl (lisctussiois betwooni individuls or sections inl Fairliold, -whero all pa1arties ar inl strict accord with the funam ental principles of the Do mocracy. Bu'at its duty is to combat all i.asiiis that tend to the injury of tie Democrat ic . party ; an d it therefore cannok, forbear saying somnethiig in rogard to the movO ment of which Dr. Clayton appoars to be the exponeut. We will give tihe miembers of thii new club the cielit of being siniciaroly desirous of the welfare of the peole of Faiiriiold, and will point out thme d ugmor both to themselvos and theoState at largo of imugurati.g a iew party at this time. Since the d tys of Thomis Jfl'r son the princi ples of Dem ocracy have been actively advocated by a large proportion of tho voters of thoUnited States. For anl unibroken period of more th1:mi seventV-fiv3 ye.rs the Denmocratic party h:as ma inltained a i ggle algainsi powerful adversaries Though several I imos defeated, it ims never failed to regaini the aseeni len cy. Other pirties have died ati soon as de feated. The Democratio pairty is porennial. It is therefore i-leo to siy the Damn cratic pairty is deadi. It has pamssed thmrough most thle w-tr and Recontruct ion, only to railly in 187d, aind to poll the largest p~opulair voto ever cast for any presi denitial c'andidaite, anid a majority of a quart er of a million of all thme voter~s in the United States, and a million majority of white voters. It has the Houso nmy, anu I wvill control the Senato in 1879. That does not look as if the Demnocratic party' had either outlived its usefulness or its success. There is, therefore, no reason to beOlievo thait tho Demo cratic party will not bo0 strong: enough in 1880 to succeed, and con scequently no need on this scare of tachming oneo's self to anm o~hlemeral organization on a mero pmossibility of The strcngth of the Demiocr-atic p)art~y being acknowvloil:, it fol - lows that tihose who join other part ies must join not becauso they fear the weakness of the Democratic party, but beOcauls they are opposed(5 to Demmocraitic principles, aud desire to destroy that party through which the g:>vernment, and tho South especially, has mado a lastingC record of glory. Ini fact, we are i nformod1 thait the members of the National GrConback p)arty intend, if possible, to destroy the D-nio: c ra tic party in 1880. .^.As far as this is concernodi, the Nationals and the Ral~dicals stand on the same platform. .Eachm wishes to stamp out the Decmmocracy. Are the 1)001)1 of: South Carolini pre'pared for this ? Do they desiro thoe death of the Demnocratic party, or do they intend to stand by their guins as they have stood since the days of Calhouni ? Any running after strange gods has.2 the tendeney .to .divide our people, and destroy the unity of the "Solid South." The Southern States are solid on Dunmocracy-. Thoy will not. be soli o any other imue. Why then fritter away om strength at the biding of suin people as Beast Butler, Uriel Poincroy, Shupe, Dezinis IKearno: and the Mollie Miguirei of Penn sylvania ? Good mon are foun within the National ranks-equall3 good exist in the Republican par ty Biu the loaders of both aro dis tinguishod chiefly for hatred of the South, and the attemptod subversior of the Constitution, so that th< triumph of either means the wrest ing from tihe South hor present strength in the Union. Again, every one must know thai South Carolina canl be kopt saft only through the porfeot harmon3 of all the good people, and mor< especially of the white Voters; anI that any secOssion from the Demo cratic party, whether by bolting Democrats, Independents or Na tionals, means the suocess, direct or indirect, of Radioalism. Let tihe whites of Fairfield put twc tickets in the field. The Radicals will either run in their own ticket, or (lso will tack to that crowd that opposes the regular Doniocratic nomiitco. 'Tle Nationals, as well as the boltors, in) other Southern States havo depended entirely upon thoi negro vote for success. We know the hearts of our Fairfield friends too well to believe that they desire any sneh consumination. Let them pause and consider whether the Radicals will pot all become Nationals if they see no success in remainiing Radicals. In that event it would be very dis.. t:asteful to be a National, What do0 these geutlemon wanllt that the Democratic party does not give them? We presmmo they Ire chie-y interested in the0 financial questions. The Democratic party will givo thom all lawful relief. It. fought against resumption, against contraction, and gave the country the silver dollar. The platforms of the Democratic p:urty ought to satisfy every one who walts ollsy money-unless lie wants a free gist of live hundlred dollars, as the Pennsylvania Nationals do, The Democratic party has alwa.vs favored the people, an(1 stood by the working class-hecause in the North it ii backe.l ohioly by that class, while in the South it is back ci by all classes. It can afford relief, and, better still, i4 can Winl. Thoe Nationals can only pol11 eunuga votes to let the Radicals step) into the National governmen t. That would indeed be refi eshing to the South --to have Grant ensconced in the White House again by a sp)lit in the Demo(cratic party, just as Lincoln rode in between Douglass and1 Breckenridge. This Nationmal p)art~y will mnot (d0 for South Cairoling or for Fairfield. Lastly comes tihe very i mportan t question whether merubors of the National Greenback pairty can he considerca active members of the Democracy, entitled to participate in its primaries. If a mn cannot he a member of two Democratic clubs at the samne time, he can sea,:ely he a mnembler of a D~en. cra~tic club, and also of club that proposes to thraih that Democratic club inl 1880. We know that our Fensthrville friends have the good of tihe county at heart, and would not do any, ibing willingly to injure it. We therefore ask them to reflect whethy oir they have not been a little too hasty. Let them defer the orgamni zation of their club unitil 1880, as they (10 not priopose to make a jigh~t ti then. By that time the iNionrm al party will have developed itself~, and they can see whiat it really means. ,In tihe meanitimo let them continue in the Democratic club and help tihe party inl selectinig good .tadartjl -be'arers for the presen t campaign. There are nio~ enough white lmen' in tihe State .to form two parties. Th le Demnocracy nood( all the whites and a sharp sprinkling of coloredl men, to i~oot,, in~ ordor to succeed. "Hiolon's Babios." This wyork is xacknowledged to bo the beet .selling article in our bookstores.. .Drug. gists, however, say that Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup solls better than any otheor medicine. It is perfectly hailess and always reliable. Price VEGETINE. I WILL TRY VEG TINE. fiE DID, AND WAS CURED. D0swaE ., Feb). 16, 1877. Mu. Ii. 11.
