Now n1itrans His E.Ye State NMut,t 1old A grictiltu rail [Special to Tho'Stato.] Spartanburg, May 22.-Whon 1 joined th congro:-ional part.y at this point this niorning Senator Till man gave m1e the following state mopt which was also handed to rep resentatives of other nowspapers. The statoiont. is tho modifiod vor uion of the letter roeontly written to Governoi- Ellerbo, which the Gov Ornor declined to make public. Sen ator Tillnan, however, oxplains all this in his introductory. Horo it is: Governor Ellerbo having declinod to give my letter to the press as I requested, I waited to hoar from .him befors giving it out. It Wy3 w ri ton v'ery hurriedly *md iomo things in it sood to him to be a r;ledton '6-1i iis administ ration and ho also objected to my striptures on seone mo0. and things as cuming through him for four they would be considered as receiving his endorso mont.. As I intendod no reflection on the Governor, andl([ had no pur poso of "striking others over his shoulder," I have modified the lan guago which he considerod to re flect on him and give the letter to the public in the form or a state mont. I only addressed it to him in the first placo because being Gov ernor, ho alone could order an inves tigation. It is substantiall as first writton except. that I have changed my comments on the Agricultural hall mattor some since reading the opinion of Justico IIarlan and loft out one or two sentoncos which im ight be considered ats malkin g boast ful comparisons. The dispelsary seaaidis and the recent decisioni in rVgard to the Ag ricultural hall case have excited a deep foliig of concern in the minds of the people of the stato, and have givon my viemies a good exCuse to engago anow in the plens ant past time of tibusing and sland Oring me in contiectionl with 0both. I commend hoartily the GovArnor's action in pressing the recent in v0stigation and join in the S timent: "fLet, no0 guilty man (s cape." I have no duAro, uor do I1 boliovo has the Governor, to mako scapegoIts of anlyone but if t hero ar1e any big lig1h in the net, lot thlol not lg J.hfough anid punliish only thel little ones. There ha~s b)oon moreO or loss loose ness in vogno mi regard to samples from thle very st art and1( it. is p)robai blo that cont,rabaund liqjuors and1 samiplos becamo miixed in the immids of moni connected with the dIi'epen. sary so that due re,.aurd to law~ has niot bteen had in) the disposal of con t rab)and seizuros. But if thier() arc no gravelr crimes in connection with th le i.antagement than these withi whichu they have hus far heeni chairged, (10 doiot sie th at much good will comio, ev'en if Scruggs aned (Gasfto: are puntished to the fullest exteut, of the law. In this connection, I would suggest that, tot) much stress seems to h)o give.n to the having of a '"hocus p)ocus" key. Sernggs was Ilhe t.rlsted lgont of thle board of control, so a e so that they refused or failo~ to elect a commissioner anid I cannio see w~hat nieed he had for a gA/ Shi ilpts nf1st have boen re ""ceivod constanitly and I do not know how they could have been placed in the contraband room unless there wvas a key always in his piossessionl to open it with. It is- possible, at this distance, however, anid for the lack of familiarily with the p)r'eent workings of thle (1ispensary, my criticisms alon1)g this line are worth loss. Samples were sent in in groat quantities when I waIs c&)nniected with the dispensary and unot know in)g what hlfe to do wvith them, they wore freely dlist.ribu;td amuong the -visitors to tho instiltution, as one means of determining the qualities of the iquors,.q0d also as courtesies. I e 'Jmo to my house and usod th :m,ias <id Governor Evans, and, I prosumo the present State board of control havo done likewise, and I have no apology to make for it. During my term there were very few other articles than liquor seized, though I recall the fact that kegs and small barrels of liquor wore found packed in rico barrels' and also in casks of hams. I instructed Mr. Traxler to take account of all con traband articles and disposo of thOm according to law. While there is a great howl raised in regard to the dispensary by the old barroom ad vocatos, it is done with a view of undormining and destroying the dis pensary systeln, and they do not care Ao much for the punishment of these men as they rejoice in the oppor tunil the recent exposures have alFdrded thom for revamping the 1d slanders about "robatos." The obvious purpose of the anti nowspapors-anti-reform, anti-toin porance and antizdecency -their ob vious purpose, I say, is to follow up the line of light laid down long ago; to besmirch the charactor of any aid every man connected -with the dispensary and to magnify overy thing which can be criticised in its management in order to broak -it down in the affections of the peopl and to accomplish the restoration of barrooms in soWe form. The system has no inherent vice, t which ought to work its dissolution, and it only requires to be conducted as the asylum, or as the tax depart ment is run to command the respect and support of the peopl . No one can claim that this is a matter of, impossibility, and if the system shall finally fail it will be owing to tho improper administration of the law. S8o much for the general sub ject. Now, for paticulars. I have waited to see this week's lieadliglit so as to havO G1antt's specific charges, covering the administration of the law under "Ben Tilhman and Trax- 1 lor"; and liko others, I have been astonished at the affront.ory which gives out, so much smoke and so little fire. He merely dips his syringe I into the gutter of filth and slime emanating for the ist three years from The News and Courior, The State, The Spartanhng Herald and Thio Greenvillo News, with which the people have been so disgusted, and spatters me along with others with itscontents. 1le, howevor, winds up with a reiteration of the cry: "In vestigate ! investigate I ! Investi gate!!! " I have not shunned r'or dreadeldd an investigation and I do not shun it now; but I venture the predlictioni that my enemies wvill bo sorry if one be held and dleclare that it is not, honestly made. They do not want the time to come when they cannot dig up the qluestion of re bates and cast insinuations against my hoet.When these stale slader abutrebates under myad min)istrati on were put in circulation byt e nespapers and then taken upll by General Barber, in the can vass three years ago, I met them promptly and vigorously at Union and elsewhere, and last winter I joined with Governor Evans in aisk ing that the legislature should aip point a committee to look into the (dispensary's mnanageemnt. and set, the charges of corr.Ilption at rest foroever. The books of the dispensary and everything connected withi its finan cial affairs have booen investigated and reported oni time and1( again b)y a legislative commit toe, one of whose momenbers was an anti, incapable of so du'ction or of b)eing induced to cloak wvrong. The' committee has never yet made a rep)ort reflecting on the integr-ity or honesty of its mamngo mont. Now the cry is "Investigate" and( while Gantt and no on() else has or enn give satisfactory reason why my administration of thme (dispensary shoul be investigated. I desire to asic the Governor to select a com mittee of citizens to enter upon an invest igationi immediately, and I am willing to answor- any inquiries made and I dloubt r.-nt that every other man cnnectend avihth ispensary.. in aiy official way, would be willing to (10 lioisv. 'le expolso can not be groat and could bo paid oit f the contingent fund and the mat bor is of sufliont importmaice, I think, to warrant tho outlay. The frionds of the dispensary can [ot allow it , to be undermined inud smothered to 111th by gutter miipos, who aro running the editorial )ages of our daily papers, and if lny corruption can ho shown, other hain what has already booni shown to 3xist, punishment swift, and suro ihould follow. I stand to oxplain Imd justify eory act of mino in con lection with the Jaw, and I doubt lot that Governor Evans can d1o ikowiso. Lot iho matter be set it 'est, and tho smoldering mibers of mvy and hato be put out once for ill. Now, in rogard to tho Rgricultural ill matter. I presumo to offor ad rico becauso I aml solely responsiblo or the Stato's attitudo in the caso md felt at the time I took actiop, mad fool still, that it was the only Yroper course to pursuo. I havo seen ,ho full text of the (locisionl of tihe mupromo court and speac in full mllowledgo of its impolt. Th1 situa ion is this: Mr. Tindal canmol, do ivor the property if he wanlted to. [ cannot boliovo that Siijoiton or mily ot.hor judicial tyrant will under ake to tako tho building by forco rom tho present Stato oflicers if heoy do, then the act of dikpossess ig the State will in the mmids of air inided porsons show the falsity >f the decreo that, it is not. ai silit igaiinst the St ate. Thle whole Iighbt linges Oil the possession of the >uildingand so long its the State can told that, it must, retain the advaln age. Oice Wesley anid his itttor Ivy got, posseisionl, with or without he consent, of the State, the situa ion will become very iravo. If the itato surrenders the property, then t must oither sio on the mIortgage 'or the payment ani thereby 'alilato >y its own act the ]'ife Ridge bond cript. If it sues, then thie question )f the validily of the tender of that mript must bo dotermined by the United States suproi court. and the ogality of the Bluo Ridge bonds > settled by that tribuill. Jadge H1arlan govs into this phase >f tio question very fully. Although Lyles in his testimony before the 'ourt and in his statement now ill ho newspapers, clearly sets forth h1io conspiracy by which the Blluo Ridtge bond script is to le brought >eforo t.he court for judticiail det(r uinaitioni, the judge declares thbait Wesley has a right to do t his. Then vith a lot of legal ja rgon which only sonifuses the qunest ion becausne it is in lo sense an analogous case to t iat of 3oneral Lee's suit for Arlington, he lechares that it is not a suit against ;ho State, although the whole ques ion alt issue is one affectinig the 1e0 ality of the repudiated bonds and lot the titlle to the agricultural hall 1it all. Hlis purposo is to have the Stato herself declare t he bonds v'alid by not suing on thme mortgage or force 'iom into court on a suit which will al most iniovitaibly determine theii r validity. lHe would thius aiccomli)psh by indirect ion what. camnnot bei (don1 lirectly, for Wesley has ailread y bad ne suit on these bonds thrown out >n the ground that it was a suit. igainst the State. W ithi bitteor irony bie coniclu-los his 01pi4ion in ihese wod: Tt. is said thadt lie juidgnmnt in this cii 4' maiy conicludL the Statie. Not so. it is a judgmentI to thle elect :mly that, as bet worn the plainrt ill and defenu'ants, I t former isentitled to posn ion of the property ini gjnoi, t he lot tr hain'mg thIirown no valId ut l.oiy to w ~ithhold te p)e ..ess-ioni fr'.m thle plainitiff; thatn thie assert ion b: the defenldaunts of a righit to r. nmai i i posso'i on is with r>ut logal foundal ion. Th e St ato not neinig a1 pm13 y t.o th( SU:t, the judtg. meat will not c,:neacido it. Not. hav ing submitted its rightsa to thle (det(r minatioii of the c'ourt ini this case, it will bie openu to the State to bring [lny action that may be app)lropriaite to, establish and5 protect whatever alamim it has to Ih premnisema : n pue. Iis chaih, if it mans to assorl one0, will thus bo brought to the test of tho lawy its administored by tribu mils to dotormino controvert ed right of property; and the record in thit Case will not bo Ovidonco itgainist it for amy pirpose touching the merits of the clim." If this woro only i suit for the possession of tho Agricultural hall there would ho no controversy, for the State would never have hold the pruperty and refused to doliver it but for the conspiracy and fraud which was divulgod by the tendor of the bod script, If the Stato takes that course then it voluntarily ontors the Fedoral courts ultiatoly and asks for the validity of thb bonds to bo passed upon. Tho situation leaves the Stato but one courso: forco them to dispossess its oflicors who are not parties to the suit, to put Wesley in possession or hold tho property, and thus protract. liti gationl nilitit Wosley aid his speci lating attorney (I suppose Lylos is workiing on a conitigent. foe) shall be tired out. If tho State is dispos sessed by force, theni the soph.istry and falsity as to its being no suit agi'ist. the State is proven and wo will oceupy at better position after this jidicial tyrulily is 1)1110 ticed upon us than to ho dragged into the court inl this undorlianded and unconstittitional way. Unless the court wais to go to the extromo of dispossesinlg thle lpresetl" Stato oflicers, who aro in n1o way connected with Mr. Tindal tind do not hold frot or uinder him, the only one tL;Ig that neod givo us any concern is iho settlement of Mr. Tindal's b,ind. Thi, of course, the Stato is in honor bmind1 to pay. BUi. if it can hold possession of the property atId tus get ar-ounld the odium and danger of having tho highest court inl the Unlited States pass uponl the repudiate( radical boids hold by Mr. Wesley, the taxpayars of tho State may well congratulato themselves. There is an old legal maxim that "possession is nine points of the law" and inl this case it is ten points, be callse as long a14 we retain1 possession, we retain everything, whilo the sur render of the property carries with it, the loss of everytLing or a serions risk of losing it, for I firimly believo that the!- judges who have boon so uniform inl sustaining Judge Simon tot's interfoecince with the State gov rnment will hke pleasi inl plSuth tilg on more stigma 1pon ot Cr-oliuia and give onte m1or0 blow to her sovereignty. Then, if th is scipt is val idaited our Stato debt will be ireased to t hat amttoutnt, as the srpt would be goodi ini payment ''f taIxes if it is goodi~ i buymg the Ag rieulturatl hall.
