TalEi1 t'i'nIsNG INFORMATION COMs 1rom Atllitia that Goneril Gordon has resigned his United States Senator ship annd his resignationi has been ac c--nted. lie gives as his reason that h1i pwivate business derands his at t ution. His political career has been gratifying ini the extreme and we can not conceive why he should lay aside the toga while several yeara yet remaini. Governnor Colquitt has appointed Ex Governor Joseph E. Brown to fill tihe vacancy. The appolintment causes general surprise anid some hidigniation. Dual State Governments. M'- *Joseph W. Barnwell delivered a few evenings 'go before the South Carolnia H istorical Society in Charles -toni, a very instructive an( interesting address on Dual State Governments in South Carolina. le showed that thrice it tihe history of this State her ctizlens have bccn called upon to cioose bet ween rival governments, and lit each time tile will of tihe pCo ple triumphed. Tihe first issue wras in 1719, the second in 1775 and the third in 1876, so that though the Ilainptoni-Chiamberlain was a new tlhing to the present generation, It was in. reality but ainother instannc. of his tory reen)Oting itself. Carolina wias granted by Charles II. ait it reward for fidelity to his enn0se to eiglt of his adherents, the Duke of Albemairlc, Lords Clrcndoiln, Craven, Ashley and Berkeley, Sir George Carterbit, Sir William Nerkeley and Sir John Colleton. These began the work 4f settlitig the territory in order to turnrtheir speculation to account. A model constitution, prepared by Lord Shaflesbury ' and the philosopher Loeke, was sent over, but its provis ions were entirely too Utopian to suit tihe practical minds of tine settlers. The whole systei with its "'seignory.',' ite "baronys," its "precineta' and its "colonys," its electoral and judicial colleges, Its eight supreme courts, be fore which it was to be a "base and vile thing to plead for money and re ward," was abandoned after four unn succesqsful attempts to engraft It on the ai. Even the seductive titles of "Lanndgravc" and "Cacique," which could be puirchased at a stipulated price, were despised. For fitly years the colony wias ruled by teuporary regulations, subject to the caprice of tihe proprietors. These ap pointed a governor and a council, or senate, and the people chose a coin mons-house of assembly. Tihe pro p~rictors were constantly chaungin1g. When the charter was extinguished it, was vested ini twvo peers, the son of a pneer, a baronet, a Carolinnian, a bar rister trustee for another barrister, three trusteces for an adult and an in-. faint, while tine eighth share was in chnancery. Enless quarrels arose over quitrents anid other matters, unitil the peole becamle dissatisfied and dis gusted. Finally poverty and misfor tune were added to misgovernmenit and tihe burden became unbearable. Tihe proprieto)rs had1( debarred tihe dis senters, wino nunmbered two-thirds of tine populaition, from participnating in tihe governmnlent, they hand takeni away lands fronm p~urchlasers without re funding tine pulrchase money, and had ap~poinlted inompetent lmn to ofilce. Tine Clomny was bur'dened with debts incurred in Indian wars, and a Spnanish fleet was thnreanteninng Chnarleston. '[he pr'oprietors refused to allow a tax to pay this debt, and they refused to open~ election precincts over tihe State, t'ts comipelling everybody to vote in iiCarlestoni, ando dissolved an assembly *that had been elected thnroulghout the *1 ~ Colony. 'Then they took fromn tine as semibly tine appointment of oflicials paid b~y tine peop)le1, upheld Chief Jus tiee Trott in huis exactions, and en larged tine coneil. Thnen tine peop~le resolved to rid N *lhemselves of the proprietors. Thney elected a new assembly, whnich dleclar ed all the acts repealed by tile proprie tore to be of full force, and pnroclainmed itself a coinvention to act for tine peo pie uinti tine King should himself as sume control. Govermnor Johmnson re funsed to recogniz.e thuis .body, and Col. Jamnes Moore was chosen01 anld mnu I, ~ gurated governor by tine people in the nine of tine King. Tine convemntioun elected a full set of State officials aind appoinited a new coumncli. Both sides appealed to Ctesar. In those days * commnunleaton was slow, amid cabi nets dilatory, and for sixteen monnthu at "dual governnmnt" existed. The * ~clergy would~ not soleminize marrlamge wvithcdui a licemnso from Governor Johmnson, and manyv adherents of the proprietors anid cautious persomns re. fused to pany the taxes levied by th( 1)eople's gover~nmnent. But tile roeo )ution progressed. Judge Trott wan remnoved and maany othners. When thc Spanush fleet appear-ed, ihe people or. ganized and defeinded tine city, Gov. arnor .Jlnson all the whuile protestling, etreating annd thnreatenhang by turmns Finalhly lhe called in tine aid of certain lfritish veses Inn tihe hatrbor to pi down this "rebellion." But the peo. Plo quanled nnot. Fortunately befor< bRoatilti0s began tine welcome snew came that the Kinug had acceded to thA * *wish, of the Colonnists and had appoint ed Governor Nicholson to take chnarg ,of tine Prlunvce. Thus ennded poee - hily thne first upiini~g of the peopi against tyratnny aind misrule, Fo: f6ety yeoars the Colomny prospered, aun in 1760 itwasa the fav'oged dsnghter~ o * rent Brlialn.. V Teoencnregelments of -tho . Uroya . u '0V90vMr. eigRed i renind1o ha~'> events of 1719. The stamp-tax roused South Carolina, and the - people pre vented the landing of the stamped pa per. Before this the insulting ctn duct of the Rtoyal Governors had pro duced wide-spread discontent, unil te assembly renused utterly'to recog niv.e Governor Booie during his - tern rot 1760 to 1762. The stamp act caused Massachusetts and South Caro ln to CIlsI) hands, and called forth the Colonial Congress. . In 1766 a new ministry caused the repeal of the staip-aet. In gratitude to "William Pitt for his friendship in this crisis, a statue was erected in Charleston, where it now stands mutilated by a cannon ball fired during the Ivolu tion. In 1765 the native Judges, Robert Pringle, Rawlins Lowndes and Benja min Smith, were deposed for holding that writs could be issued without stamps. In 1769 the assembly levied a tax of fliteen hiindred pounds to aid John Wilkes and his friends iii their fight against the ministry. Council refisig to accede to this, no tax bill was passed for four years. The min istry sustained the council, and fur ther troubles ensued. The commission ers of the people issued certificates of debt w4ch passed current, the officers of the crown, even, except Governor Bull, accepting them. The tea-tax In 1774 brought matters to a head. In 1775 a "General Meet ing" of 184 delegates w"'e called, and foity delegates were given to the up country, which up that time had been unrepresented. This meeting was named the "Provincial Congress," and gradually assumed control of the whole Province. From June 1st to September 15th, 1775, when Lord Wm. Campbell, the last Royal Governor, left for England, South Carolina again had a dual government, the governor, the council and the judiciary appoint ed from England, representing the crown, and the Provisional Con gross and its committees represent ing the people. All this time and up to the declaration of idependence separation floim England was not ex pected. A change of ministry, or at least a change of policy was akiticipat ed. Neither came. The revolution progressed, the people again triumph ed, and South Carolina beceil an in dependent State. Thus ended the second dual government. The third dual government, from November, 1876, to April, 1877, is still fresh in the iemory of the people. Again the central authority endeavor ed to interfere with the rights of the people, and again the attempt failed. In conclusion Mr. Barnwell alluded to the increased prosperity following - each revolution, and the high order of men they produced. From this he is led to hope that in the fuiture we may prove ourselves wvorthy of Our trust, that prosperity will increase, and. that South Carolina may ever be represent ed by men for whom she has no cause to blush. The address is an admirable eliitome of thme history of the State i her three crises, and it is well worth preserv ing. WRIATT AKZR ON THli E KACK. Statidity of the Witness-Catight in Incon stateneles--The M1issing Links--The Note of Wrnning Traeed to 11im. From the New York Herald. May 16. A niot altogether unhooked for sur prise now followed-the reappearance of Whiittaker as witness. Every eve was turned upon the young colored cadet, as in his full gray uniform-to borrow ani expression nrom the prize ring vocabulary-lhe came up smiling to the scratch. That perfect self-pos session, unabashed confidence and coolness of manner cbo racterizing his demeanor when first called as a wit ness, still manifested itself. Physically his general appearance has greatly im proved from what it was at the open ing sessions of the court--eyes bright er, complexioni clearer and his hair, then disfigured by haggling cuts, nowv neatly' parted in the centre. Whitta ker did not quaver in the least or show the least token of niervousness or intimnidation. H~e stated, in answer to the pireliminary questions, that be fore ho came to West Point he knew the kind of treatment extended here to colored cadets and nlilly appreciated what would be his status on becominag a student ini the Academy. Hie did( expect physically ill treatment, but was not devilled or hazed even by the colored cadet Flipper. After further examination a htter was produced. It proved to be a let ter written on the 7th of last April by Whittaker to a colored f'iend in Newv York, named Western. This letter, covering several pages, was read by W hittakor, and In substance was main, ly a re petition of his account of the alleged outrage committed on himself as published ini the papers of that date. He was interrogated at considerable length as to reconciling the Inconsist eney of some of thie statements ini this hotter and his subsequent testimony, anid particularly his stating in the ldt ter that three cadets comimitted the outrage and describing thme severity of his injuriies and in his testimony aver ing that lhe had no reasoni to suspect cadets and his telingV Mr. Mitchell that his injuries were only slight. His an swer was that ho wrote a thoughtftil letter. RtOUND RIODN WOOD's nARiN. The examination in Its -progress b took a wide range and embraced al most every phase of the testimony gisen by Whittaker at the outset of the case. Hlow they mark liege down South elicited a good many queries and not much inforation. Why the looking-glass, after having been used as an instrument of assault upon hits head, was not broken into bits of pieces and thme fragments scattered over the room formned another branch of Inquiry. -lHe was also asked if heo Idid not write his eight peo letter to r ir. Western and the one to his moth esopromptly s e dlning oa e sp~eddIy .lndi heir way .inf o theopy bers an~thg eek 1 ,ynti ja.m thy on his behalf. This questionl le e answered with an eapalliptic denial. p ie knew soitiailng alott Ku- I lux e atrositIes In 8outh (arolita, and he- tI lieved they were generally acconipanai- i ed by murders. Pl HIOMOOENROUS AND IIETEROGENNEOUS. From story vritinig the e-corlder tai made a tanigent to the subject of haill t kerchief's aind cravats wori bv cadt-s st while onl furlough. 114) d1iscovered e that Whittaker, just before thei aissault, h had iix white pocket handizhkercliefs b and could now on1ly accounlt for Four e of them. Where the iissing two had ill gonae Whittake- Could give ao infor- It mnatlioa. lie was equally in the dark as to his black silk necktie, which whena lie last saw it was in his t runk or valise, but was now catalogued among the inilssing. It seemed as st though there wouhl10 e Ito enad to tho o questions Oia these points, aaaid there til was a co-tanigeit. to other subjects of it inquirv. fe Q. you still stick to your state- te ment, continued the Rec'order, that ti, vou did :ot see the anonimous note it befbre von say you found It, and that tr you did not write it ? A. I do, sir. is Q. I low' then, do you account for w the fact that of over three hundred a< papers three out of five experienced i experts have picked out your hand- u writing as the writer of that note of b warmaaig, and these five len all have tl] testifled positively that you wrote the a, note yourself? A. That the note was A forged and that it is aan initation of p, my writing. o, CANNOT ACCOUNT FOil IT. tc Q. How do you account for the fhct that exports have by microscopical ex amination and that'others besglcs ex- a ports can see the fact that the paper a upon which that was written was torn fromn paper upona which your owna writing was found? A. I cannaot ac count for it, and I do not know that they do, sir. Tile course of (lae cross-examination, as will be seen, was drawiing Whitta ker more ad more tight ly into the toils. One by one caie out strong facts against hiim, aimior facts ili their sceuing Ilasigniicance, but all point ing to te same climax-,his guilt. As these were brought to light thaeie was nto shadow of colacerin or cimotionl visi ble in that youang an( mobile face, but tc now as immobile and unchanging as fv granite. Sone thought they saw a tr diflorence when the Recorder began j, to read those portions of the reports -j of the experts previously withheld from publicity, but if theae was any it was only momentary. As the pre viously withheld portiols of the rt. ports of the flive experts-Gayler, Patine, 11ogan, Ames and Southwort.hi C( -were read there caie one by one the answers to file pireviously perplexiig questions, "Who is No. 8?" "Who is No. 23?" aind so on through the vari ous numbers hit upon as tle author of the anonymous note. It had been previously intimated that Whittaker was thae one retbrred to each case, as shown in (lhe questions put to hii abovc; but these reports were eagerly listened to as atrording further aid in teresting details. A STAIITLING DISCOVERY. Of all these reports, the one, pe haps, most interesting was that of m i. Southworl. Ifit did notshow the truth that "mu.rder will out," it did shaow a the mysterious and unalooked for pro- -er cesses by which -crime is not nifro- n< qienitly' detected. .A singular feature J was that in this report it. is showin Mr. Southworth went outside his usual limits as a haamhwritliag exIpert. The folloing is a portion of this report:I You will 1no dloublt be surprised a when I tell you that I huave a sheet which I have marked ''A" ini two places out of set 1, from which the pa pernuon wicha the anonymous notes is witteniwas torn. Thae fact is easi ly discernible to ordinaary vision wvith - the naked eye. This papier out of set 1, mnarked by me "A" twice with a blue pencil, has subject matter coam niected with another sheet, whuich I have, marked "B" tw~ice in blue. Thle sheet "B" is torn from another sheet, which I have marked "C" twice. Thus by a fact umathemuatically dlemonistra- 2 ble the aanonymous note ~is one of four links, three of which are papersI' of set 1. I have great satisfaetion ini dis coverIng this point, which discoveryI wvill do much toward settling thi's whole uafl'air as far as (lie authorship I of the anionym'ous note is conicernued. 1i ***The truth'stands forth to all Igi interested, friends anud foes If there be fm fay, beyond a dloub~t or cavil, that this ai most perplexing an ainnoying question has beeni solved. * * * I have to (lie best of my ability airainged two frames of glass so as to exhibit may discovery to any who miay wish to Tj examaine It. No. 1 is (lie questioned c 1n0te placed in juaxtapositioin with the part of the sheet from set 1 marked "A" ini two places. We further no- q tice the cut of the papers on (lie top as .P arranged-cut at the paper mill ; niext j the ruling, and thaen the ragged edlges in juixtapositonm where it was separat ed, perhaps with a paper cutter-no y matter In wvhichl so long as an Indented sp~ot upon one has its corresponding - tooth opposite. So of No. 2, whIch is out of set 1 and marked as above de scribed, anid placed as I have describ ed heretofore in No. 1. The ab~ove, as may be Imagined, was received as a most startling revola tion. THEI LIVING PROOFS. On thue Recorder's table and before the Court sp)reatd the record of prioofa against Whittaker. "Is this your handwrItIng ?" the Re corder. would ask Whittaker on the concluslin of the reading of expert reports, and with thie question would e hand 1dm one of the samples of his penmianship given to the experts for t examination. "I think it is," Whiittaker-would an-I swver after a protracted inspection of each piece of hiandwritinug. "Don't you'kniow it is?" the Re- ( corder would continue in a tone that to any one but W hittaker would have been dlecidedly concertI ig. "W-e-h-l, y-e-s, it Is," lie would geni erally manage to Ainal'y drawl .out, although in one or two cased he ex pressed strong doubt of it being his haandwrltinig. Most of the specimens were under glass, so that the character of the writing should not be dIsturbed by the f'equent handling. Of coni-se the one of prime interest was the note of wvarn- 3 Ing.Theothers weore portions of Whitakr'sattmptatstory writing, a sanmples of his notes of.lectures taken bodilv from hIs niote-book and some ofwichlfo all that lie de~ied being in his han dwriting with an air, of in solence which ,he' has npver shuown* unitil to-day.
