Tho North boasted that Lincoln and Potor tho Groat had sot froo sovon million souls." All right about Lincoln; Peter, howovor, Is hardly entitled to so much credit; ho 'oad about a million of his bonightod ?arbarians against Charlos XII, of vedon, who slow near that number nd thus indeed woro they set free. Mr. Evans will do n9 well repeating ?istory as making it. # * * 'qngrossman Talbert shows his Kdgoflold raising in the spirited man ner in which ho rosonts tho insulting flings of tho bittor South haters. A ?mall yearling bovine when a railroad oeomotlve first invaded his precincts -?urlod his pendent, pawed the ground rith glaring eye, and waited its ap ?roach. A&U courage was applauded while his 'li8crotlon was debatable. Gov. Tillman, of old Edgelield, wroto tho managers of the Abbeville meet ing that ho was not a candidato for Oovornor and theroforo declined the invitation to speak. Tho idea! Ben Tillman wants something Hotter, don't you know," and "don't you for got it." * In ?h<> Pension dobato the South was twitted upon tho meagre impost duties flerivod to tho Government through Southern .ports. Tho fact is true, but tho South is unfortunately a monstrous consumor through the purchaso of goods that pass tho collectors at Bos . ton, Now York, and other Northern Ports of entry. ? * * Socrotary of Stato Tindal wroto an olaborato letter to tho Abbeville com mittee. Ho admits boing a little con servative, cautions against passion, hints that by "that sin tho angels fell" and warns his frionds against extreme measuros. "Bo merciful if ye uro pow erful." * ? Tho broach of promise suit for $50 000 of Miss Madelino Pollard against ^Congressman W. C. Brockinridgo of Kentucky, is in progross, in Washing ton and is the sensation of the hour. * * ? Tho Soignorago Bland Bill, having passed the House, will probably go through tho Sonate, but it is said will be vetoed by the Prosideot. Tho Prosldont can boo a great way through a millstone,but to our vision the bill has an innocent look. * ft - # Tho Sonate Finance Committooo has roportod tho Wilson Tariff Billgroatly amended to suit local and narrow Sen ators (cut out and mado up to fit par ishes) and thus modified will probably pass the Senate. * ? Comptroller Ellorbo hud official bus iness and did not go to Abbovillo. Being in a financial department ho figured out tho situation and snuffed treason In tho tainted gale. * * ft Senator W. D. Evans could not re spond In porson to tho Abbeville invi tation us ho had 'to nurso and keep warm his political eggs in the Pee Deo section. * * ?

How to get there is the question. Many aro bound to get left. "The wisest plans of mice and men gang aft agloe." Wo will not venture any ad vice in this case but relate a classical anecdote and tho problem may bo solved If too many don't tako hold. Two darkoys went hunting and found a cave. One entered the small cavity to explore; a bear, tho owner of the cave, appeared and immediately fol lowed him. Tho darkey who remained outside solzod him by tho tail and hold hard. Tho darkey inside cried out, "What darkoo do hole?" tho out side darkey answering, "Nebbor you mind; If dls tall holt break loose you find out what darkeo do hole." Tho People.

WHARTON, Clerk Court Corao > Ploas for said . ^ .. } OUR COLUMBIA LETTER. EVANS HAS A WALK OVER AT ABBEVILLE. Found Want in-; When Com pared to Ben. Colukuia, March 10th. That Abbevlllo meeting was in part a failure and in part a success. It demonstrated to the peoplo of Abbo villo that John Garv Evans is an agress ive little fellow who talks stiff talk. He was able to show off to considera ble advantage as compared with Dr. Popo, whoso candidacy ovorybody mirthfully regards, and Dr. Tiramor man, who is an honost old gentleman and very much of a truo man, but to tally dovold of oratorical spangles and tho political tinsel which draws tho votors. Evans had no difficulty in ex emplifying himself as tho dashiest man in tho crowd and that was tho principal object of the mooting. But in two things Mr. Evans failed. In tho first placo unassuming Mr. W. D. Evans, plain Mr. Ellorbo and doco rous Mr. Tindal were too clover to pormlt themselves to appear as a part of the stage sotting for tho Alken star. Thov know that ho would bo a twinklor in old Abbovillo and so they declined his offer of battle. Thoroforo Mr. Evans had no recourse but to gougo his thumbs in tho sod, liko tho follow in Georgia scones and show tho Abbovillians "what ho could ha' done." In tho seeond placo, Mr. Evans failed to establish a strong resemblance to to Tillman. Judging from all the re ports of his speech, it was liko blue john to oggnog as compared with the Cyclopean blows of Bon. I think it was intended to show that Evans was tho very impersonation of Bon, Bon in a now edition full-morocco and gilt edges, but yot Bon, bravo clamorous and oxecrativo. Mr. Evans cannot play successfully in such roles. Thoy aro above him. Bantam weights can t cut high jinks in hoavy woignt caparisons. It is out of tho 11nest ion. In tho Son ate chamber Evans is an astonishor, a dazzling jot of flamo, but In tho soni bor gloom of tho big outside ho flares and lliokoi'8. Senator Jno. Gary Evans would not bo a very dangerous man, another Tillman as Governor. Ho Is educated, a lawyer, and is not a stranger to busi ness life. He knows something about railroads, having practiced somo for thorn. All his associations until tho recent past have been such as to imbue him with Conservative tendoncios and were ho elected Governor It is safe to say that declarations mado in tho for vlil heat of oratory would bo some times forgotten whilo ho lent a re spectful oar to tho demands of the bus iness Interests of tho Stato. A hard hearted stubborn man, who went into office with his tooth sot and his ga/o fixed would prove a much moro dan gerous Governor than Jno. Gary Evans and therefore more displeasing to the Antls.
