Executive Department, Office OF the Att’y Gkn’l., [• Columbia, June 27, ’88.) Hon. J. P. tiichardson. Governor : Sir—I have examined the papers relating to requisition on Governor of Georgia, for one B. Cash Pawley charged with obtaining goods under false preten es. The papers are in due form, but a letter from P. H. Waring, dated June 25, 1888. Mr. Waring is represented as a man of character; he sais that he was in Florence, and employed Pawley te go with him on a business trip to Alabama; that it was necessary ior him to go promptly ; that Paw ley requested him to settle lor some shoes and clothing which he had received from some merchants in Florence, and that he promised to do so; that on arriving at Young’s Island he wrote to the merchants sending some money and informing them that he had assured Pawley that he would pay them, and that it he had not sent money enough to send bill to him ; that no reply was received, but that he held Ex press receipt for the money sent. A telegram from the officer in Sa vannah show* that Pawley was will ing tor come urithout requisition. Tak iug it forgranted tha Mr. Waring man of character, it does not seem that a conviction could be The Extradition Conference in New York in August, 1887, a'greed that tequisions under such circumstances should be dtsconr aged, and I think in this case it would be proper that Your Excel lency decline to make the demand.

C., is au thoritatively denied. It is to be re gretted that the gentlemen who make this denial did not do so sooner. A prompt denial was due both to Miss Got don and to the parents and friends of the young girl. We rejoice to know that Iter untimely death was not due, us was alleged, to parental neglect, or to the fanatical teaching of the faith cure apostles.—Southern Christian Advocate. Miss Gordon and the Advocate. (From the Southern Christian Advocate.) The Darlii gton News thinks The Advocate's criticism of Miss Gor don was too severe and unchari table. especially in view of the tact that this paper is “the official organ ot that denomination which was in strumeutal in persuading” her to visit Darlington. We beg to inform the News that the “denomination” which The Adrocafe represents wap not instru mental in persuading Miss Gordon to visit D.irliugtou, nor is the Methodist Church responsible in any sense for the results of her visit. Miss Gordon went to Dar lington, we suppose, on the invita tion of the “.South Carolina Holi ness Association,” which is an independent and undenominational organization of Christian men and women. Furthermore, the criticism of the Advocate, while suggested by an in cident with which Miss Gordon’s name was connected, was not de signed to be personal. Wo said that “peopl who go about preach tng this doctrine (faith healing) and imposing upon the credulity of the weak and ignorant, even to the sac rifice of life itself, should be dealt with by the strong arm of the law. They belong either to the Deni en tiary or to the Lunatic Asylum, and the soon i they a:e placed there the better tor society.” We propose to stand by this utterance. Human life is too dear to be sacrificed in he way indicated, and those who would thus sacrifice it are either criminal or demented. Their proper dace, therefore, is behind the walls of the Penitentiary or in the safe retieat of the Asylum We think bis election would be advantageous to the people of the whole State, for his record in public life marks him as a pure, able aud fearless man, woo wonld do right from principle, and who would dignify aud adorn the highest office in the State. LAW CARON ■*m'"j u. J. i. WARD. S O. WOOD* A Har > est Field For “An Able an Manly Retutation.” (Williamsburg Record,) Our ihauks are due the Hon G. W. Durgau tor a copy of his speech, in pamphlet foim, on tariff reform, delivered in the House ot Repre sentatives at Washington, May 10, 1888. The speech is devoted, iu great part, to a reply to several Republican Representatives, who in discussing the tariff attacked the South and its former institutions. Mr. Dargan’sable aud manly refu tation ot these aspersions, sought to be cast upon his State aud the South, are full ot force aud history, sustained by eminent statesmen, North and South, the Constitution, and the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. It were better that issues which have been settled as these have been, should not be lugged into a discus sion of the living question* of * he day, but it is well when they can not be avoided by the exercim of common propriety, that the South have men there who can answer them with tacts and argument.

Sep. 2, ’86 ly. OBO. w. BROWN The Latest Political Sin of the “State House Ring ” There are many persons iu Dar lington County who will remember favorably Maj H Clay Richard sou, a very popular geutlemau who was at one time city editor ot the Columbia Register, but who subse once, aud 1 promised him to do so quellt |y resided at Timmoosville for Id a day or two when I expected to | tbe purpose of “bulling” the cotton market. Maj. Richardson is a Vir return in the course of my plans of business. Ou reaching this places few days ago I wro e to the mer chants, sending them some money, and informing them that Mr. Paw ley had been assured by me that 1 would pay them aud requesting them if I had not sent enough to forward their bill to me immediate ly. 1 have not yet received any reply but hold tbe express receipts for money sent. Mr. Pawley on reaching Savannah was arrested by the officers but could not learn be fore 1 left him on what charge. I came here on special business aud expect to return to Savanualt to morrow. Meanwhile I wrote to a friend at Florence to find oat if prssible why Mr-Pawley had been arrested as the matter has greatly interfered with aud deranged my business plans. To-night 1 learn iu reply that he was accused by the very parties to qliom I bad agreed to pay and actually sent money, of buying goods under false pretences, | aud that they were trying to get him brought back to Florence nu- der a requisition from you Permit me to say Sir, that 1 am not a men j of means so cannot hire legal aid ; hence I appeal directly to you aud request earnestly that Your Excel [ leney will let me have a telegram at Savannah that will release Mr. Pawley and so enable him to carry | out his contracts with me, aud so prevent my ftirther detention. My request is based upon the fact that Mr. Pawley having requested me to [settle his bills and I having so in- | formed the parties aud actually sent [them the mouey (I thought enough) ind requested them to write me im- Imediately. They most be aware that no fraudulent iutent existed kud therefore acted from motives of islice only. Yoor Excellency will Ion me if I am wauting iu any >ropef forms, and attribute my ihortoomiogs to tbe fact that my Ing a plain and but poorly eduoa- man and my earnestness; business suffers greatly by delay rendered necessary by i detention of Mr. Pawley. NMIl four Excellency reply by telegram me at Savannah, care of Mr. Les- the Mayor, and so very much giuian by birth, aud is not i elated in any way to. the distinguished South Carolina family of that name, which, however, is in no way superior to its “Old Domluiou” namesake. The Major is rather a striking looking man, his resem- lige, Truly yours, [Signed] P Oatka faith of Very respect fully and a Waring. fcl- blauce to a certain cock-eyed Union general whose same is inseperably connected iu the history ot this country with the silver ware of Lonisiana, being often commented upon. Though fully ten years younger than our present Governor of the same name, the Major does not look it, owing the noble ex pause of his forehead, which spreads well nigh to the back of bis neck, the two parts of the cranium being separated only by three or lour strands of beautiful soft brown hair. In these days of “lings, when there is a “ring” at every courtliouse town in the State, aud another great big ring at the State House in Columbia, there are cer tain malcontents who fall into ludicrons blunders by harping on this one string of “ring,” “ring, ‘ ring.” Tbe office of State Libra rian becoming vacant about a year ago, the Governor appuii ted Maj Richardson to that position. At last the “ring criers” had something to sing out about! One of their number was engaged iu couver^a tiou with a worthy citizen ot Co lumbia a taw days after the appoint meat of State Librarian had been annouu :ed, and made the remark, in a complaining, discontented tone of voice that “the conduct of this 'Stale House Ring’ was becoming unbearable.” “What,” asked bis companion, “have they been doing now r “Why, hav’ut yon beard,” replied he who is a terror to the ring intriguers, “the Governor has gone and appointed that bald- headed son of his State Librarian.” Of snob a nature are the »tate- ments of those who, being out of employment, are hanging around the State House in Colombia, and complaining about the doings of what they call “the ring,” but which is lo reality nothing more uor less than tbe officers of the State, whose very exalted positions should entitle them to some respect, and whose aim is to discharge to the best of thoir ability tbe duties which have been imposed upon A Man For Governor- (Coneapon'lent Greenville News.) It is now officially stated tht^f there will be a preliminary canvass by the candidates for the State offi cers It is therefore, not premature to pot in nomination tor the Gover norship of the State the name of Hon. B. W. lid wards, of Darling ton. In view of the public reconi which he has made, and of the pa tent fact he is a man sound in judg met it, irreproachable in character, invincible in argument, aud who is withal a ;rue and tried friend of the oeople, it seems hardly necessary to state a few ot the reasons why- legions of the uuierrifled Democra cy will rally around his standard : 1. He Is a friend of . the free schools. » 2. He is a friend of higher educa lion, including the Clemseu Col lege. 3. He is in favor of public econ Knowledge for the Millions The fourth volume of Alden’s Manifc Id Cyclopedia contains 122 illustrations, aud extends from Bap tism to Bilberry—637 pages, large type, handsome cloth binding, for 50 cents,- or in elegant half Morocco binding for 65 cents! Is not that truly bringing knowledge within reach of the millions f The great merit of the cyclope dia is its adaptation to practical use; giving undereach proper head the information most likely to he needed, and iu concise, easily avail able form. Caretul examination impresses one with its accuracy, as well as tbe temarkable tulluessof its information- For actual use it abundantly answers the needs of all save those whose pursuits require exhaustive study of certaiu sub- jects. Tbe combination ot Una bridged Dictionary and Cyclopedia is a wonderful convenience. Each volume, as it comes to the reader’s hands invariably renews the sur prise felt that a book so well got up can be afforded tor a price so low. Whoever wantsa Cyc opedia —aud who docs not!—would do well to order at least a specimen volume, which may be returned if not wanted Reduced prices are offer* d to early subscribers for com plete sets, which are to co.isist of 30 or more volumes, the volumes being issued at intervals of about a month. The work is not sold eith er by agents or by booksellers, but only by the publishers direct, which iu mime measure accounts for the wonderfully low prices. John B. Aldeu, Publishers, 393 Pearl St..
