Tlllman has addrossed a letter to the |)c pie of South Carolina ex plaining his action at GalVney in sur reudi ring Iiis Sonutoriul commission. MoLaurin lias written a letter to Chair man Jones, ol tlio Domocratlo puny, .stilting Iii- roasons lor not wanting an August canvass, with othor suggos tions. Thon Tlllman follows with un intorviow in which ho bohls that there is hut one leisure Bcason lor tho people of tho State to fool with politics. And simultan? >usl,\ Chairman Jouos writes to MoLaurin assuring him of fair treat mont- saying us tho Confederate Irish luuii, who knocked down a Yankee in the war "be alsy, I?; ulsy," and occa sionally tapping the Yankee on the bend with his musket as lie showed a disposition to move "be alsy, be iiisy. ye spalpeen." Senator Tilliuun is astonished at his colleague's qucrulousncss and thinks that be ought to take things easy, no mat ter w hat the medicine may be. When we road McLaitriu's letter to Jonos, we weit' u little puzzled and concluded that the letter blinked to ward preparing tho Wliy an entering wodgo?tu w ithdraw ing the reslgnat ion, so dramatically tondorcd at GaiTnoy. Therb are so many surprising things ill old Soui h t lurolina. Wagers wcro oll'ercd on the streets that MoLaurin would recant and ask to withdraw his action. In the mean while the I'res- (d the State has freely and savagely criticized the action of the Senatura in precipitating the pre dlcament upon the democratic people of the stiite. Tho Capulots and the .Montagues, two great families in an Italian town, kept a perpetual feud and when two of the separate fact ions met in the streets. they Immediately drew their toasting irons, (before the days of villainous gun-powder) and at it they went One holiday when the streets were full the tight got up and great numbers were drawn into the fray. Meroutlo, a line fellow, got pinked about the tlfth rib und u? he gasped Iiis last gasp ex claimed "a curse upon both your hollies." There i- a strong trend in this direction and many persons, tiivd of elections, and seeing no good ahead, are saying that Governor McSvvoeney should aeeept their resignations and till their places with good and new men. Our advice is, as always, to keep cool, "and do not be in a hurry to talk." Patience. ? There is a divinity that shapos our otulj rough hew them as we Will." \Yc quoto from Washington corres pondence Philadelphia Ledger as re* prod Vic d in News and Courier: "II Is i o likely that either of t ho South t'a'oli a Senators will withdraw bis no ideation Oi an intention to re sign s -pi moor to, but it is held bj many good lawyers and parliamentar ian'' that Mich notification may he with drav n ;u the pleasure of tho person who gavo such notification, provided the withdrawal is made prior to Sep tember 1 > In the Doll!vor caso a de cision was cited by t'io Supremo Court in Indiana, in Waich tho court held that a resignation to take effect at some future day was not a resignation at all In law, but merely n notice of an in tention to resign, and that such notice could be withdrawn." Ami more tllCSO resignations are in ridiculous form u joint resignation by two Sonalorj not extemporaneous in beginnin/ or ending. There is room for al! sur:-, of t|Ulb ling, niggling and paltering with the people.

The "Hoi Stun." Those ire specimens of the speeches indulged at Gafl'ncy between Curly headed Johny, socalled, and "Benja mil the Tillmanite": Tlllman speaking: "I talk of bis stolen speech. I say I can prove that one of his speeches was taken in chunks from l>r. Van Dyke. I can say he stole It, and then he talks of my pitchfork, but God Id (88 you, that fork sings its own tune ami is not stolen." The ??retort courteous" from Johny : lie talks about hie, and says I stole Ann Dyke's sermon. The only charge be ha- been able to briugagainst mo is that I stole a sermon." Then, turning round, and taking a step or two, fane to face wilh Tlllman, and pointing his linger ai him, said with feeling and emphasis: ? Von, sir, if charges be true, have stolen tilings ol more in trinsic value than sermons " * * a L'oilllfj fair.

The event was Memorial Day service, and the open ing of the assembly Capt. Ilobson made an address which svas characterized by eulogies of tho soldiers of the Civil and Spanish-Amer ican wars svho gas e up their lives in the cttuso of humanity. Capt. Ilobson said, after expressing iiis appreciation at being invited to speak in the North on such an occa sion: ?I aish that tho Stales of the south would adopt this day for memo ial and decoration day for the Confederate dead and that the custom would begin and become general for the south to invite citizens of tho north to come .-outh and for the north to invite eiti ?/, us of the south to come north to join together in one spirit in a common memorial celebration for tho gallant dead of both sides." Capt. Ilobson said that in his opinion the civil war was a soclalogical ne cessity to cement the union of the Stat08. Discussing slavery, he said, that to 11 svo inu-i user!I o the remark able progress made by the colored population In so short, a time.

I am informed they have elected most of the toachors, without giving any notice. They may say I had no right to no tice. However. I am a citizen, lax payer and patron of the school and I leave this to the public to -ay. With all duo respect to them, it ap pears to me they are in great ha-te to elect teache-s before tho people bas e had an opportunity ol voting on the tax question, whether there will be school at all or not ami bet?re eluding DOW TrustOOS. I f the Trustee- are to be of any service they WOllld natura ly like to liave their -ay in electing teach ers and would not waul their bunds tied for one year by i he act ion of the old board. I am net inukirg war on any teachers if they are the proper pers'uis. No doubt a new board would elect them. I do not want the cart be fore the horso and want things to be done regularly. I do not know whether the Trustees favored a change or not. That is for them. It wiil not do to say the teachers wanied to know whether to attend sum mer school. If they are making leach ing a calling of course th y would prepare thomselves In every manner, and if not employed lere would be elsewhere. Possibly if tho trustees bad more children attending the -ehr ol thoy might care mure what the public thought. I will state I have never bun a Trustee, am not a candidate and never expect lo be.

Those, who now bark after the leading dog In the pack were not long ago howling Mcl.aurin and Tillman out of the Democratic party. What has Tillman since dono to establish his right to be called a Demo crat , and what has Mcl.aurin done to make him a Republican? Thoy are both clo-o to tho Administration ami have been making lovo to it, and have done more in tho way of getting .-polls for South Carolina than any of their pi'oJecessor8 all becauso they wore close to the Administration. Sure Mo Laurin voted to ratify the treaty of Prance, but did not liryan advise ItV Bes'dcs, did not many of the promi nent lb-publicans in Congress vole with 'I illman on that question, and are they Democrats? Tillman is the last man to howl again-1 Mcl.aurin and call him a Republican. 'Tillman's do llnltion ol Fomocracy in the South, oft repeated, was: "Wliiti Supremacy."
