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

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,

Finalhly lhe called in tine aid of certain

bRoatilti0s began tine welcome snew
came that the Kinug had acceded to thA
* *wish, of the Colonnists and had appoint

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

thy on his behalf. This questionl le e
answered with an eapalliptic denial. p

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. This insol nt air was
most strikingly shown it~ his answer
to aquestion irlhe kno 'Ithiwhat.n

per, that the cadets will be teml)ted
to interekwIrence with him, but will
tulinlue to let him alone, as they have
