Tho special features of “Caro lina Day” in Atlanta were the truly remarkable utterances of Senator Tillman and Governor Evans. The former, who was the orator of the occasion, among other things, said: If your governor hadn’t alluded to old Grover I would not have said any thing about him here, because I will have a hotter opportunity to use my pitch fork upon him when I get to Washington. But it doe* my soul good to hear your governor say that two little bobtail Reformers from South Carolina have attracted more attention and caused more applause than the President of the United States. It is at least a confirmation of the thought that a prophet is not without honor save in his own coun try. I hare this realisation, and I thank you—all of you—who have come from South Carolina to do this honor to the governor and myself. In regard to those calumnies whieh have been heaped unpn inebvsuch papers as the Atlaj^^b|H^kM>n Telt- say that like water froinadudQHBn; because the people of South Carolina have in two elections put me in the governor’s office, and by unexampled majority, and that last year after the dispen sary law was even passed they elect ed me to the United States senate by a vote of 121 to 21 in the general as sembly. There is hardly any use for us to waste time in commenting upon this. To those of the au dience who were unacquainted with the peculiar style of the Senator, the exceeding bad taste of his Atlanta deliverance must have been something of a sur prise—not SO; however, with those who know him, and who have been listening to his utter ances for the past six years. To them the “eternal ego” would have indelible stamped the ora tion with the image and super scription of our great Caesar himself, and they could have told who it was “with their eyes shut”—“J would not have •aid anything about him here, because I will have a better op portunity to use my pitch-fork upon him when I get to Wash ington;”—“The people of South Carolina have, in two elections, put me in the Governor's office, and by unexampled majorities, and that last year after the dis pensary law was even passed, they elected me to the United States Senate by a vote of 121 to 21 in the General Assembly;” and so on, and so on, ad nause am. The Senator was followed by Hon. John Gary Evans, Gov ernor of South Carolina, who, among other things, said: And, fellow-citixens, tils southland will bloom as the roee in spite of what Yankee generals and judge* hostile to for our young Governor to “talk shop” and to discourse on sec tional partisan issues, as it would have been for a true j South Carolina orator of the olden time to take advantage of the opportunity offered for mak ing an address that would have been broad, liberal, patriotic, dignified—one that would have reflected credit upon the grand old commonwealth he represent ed. But while the performance of our “two Dromios” was any thing but creditable, it comes with bad grace from the Atlan ta Journal to say so—that is, to say so in the way it did. Sen ator Tillman and Governor Evans were the guests of the city. The Journal, and every body slse who had anything to do with inviting them there, knew what they were like be fore they went, and were per fectly willing to have them there to help draw a crowd, as we have no doubt they did help. It is true that Senator Tillman, during the course of his re marks, went out of his way to attack the Journal in the most unseemly, uncalled-for and unbecoming manner. But that made no matter. The Journal owed a debt of respect to itself, if it owed none to the Senator, and such sentiments as the fol lowing are not calculated to elevate it in the eyes of the peo pie of the county at large. South Carolina's display at the ex position is as creditable as the speech es of her Governor and Senator ye* terday were discreditable. * * • It isn’t necessary to have an exposition when Ben Tillman and John Gary Evans are around.

Legitimate criticism of the conduct of the city’s guests (for it was certainly open to critio- ism) would have been excusable perhaps, under the circumstan ces; but this wholesale vilifica tion and denunciation was in the vilest possible taste, and in resosting to it, the Journal was only putting itself on a par with Tillman himself. It should have loftier aspirations than that. An lnt*r*vtinic Relic. (Chicago Times-Herald.) A vase or urn, presented to Andrew Jackson by the ladies of South Carolina at the time he was President, is one of the choice objects of this room. It is of solid silver, and was given General Jackson in trust, to be A SUNDAY WITH JOHN L. Tv* Comdlaa*> I»r of Rvat With Raw- tosi'a Fovemogt “I don’t believe I should rare to have John la. Bnllivnn for referee,” ' says William H. Crane. ’’.Sullivan doesn't like to stand by and see any . man whipped; his sympathies are always with the under dog. "Some years ago Nat Goodwin and I had an experience with Snlli- van. It was in what I call my hal cyon days. Nat and I had been cele brating the close of the season, and we oame ashore one Sunday morn ing from my yacht determined to bo very circumspect all the rest of our lives. We went to a seaside ho tel for the purpose of getting break fast, when whom should we tall in with but John L. Sullivan and one of his boon companions- a Boston alderman. Both John and his friend were pretty well corked up, and they insisted that we should go with them to call upon another friend, a Patsy Somebody, who was training for a fight with Mike Somebodyeise at a small oonntry roadhouse about fonr miles away. “Goodwin and I did our beat to shake the two, for we feared that, full of liquor as they were, Sullivan and his satellite would get ns into trouble. But Sullivan wouldn't take no for an answer, and finally, just to keep the peace, we went along in their wagon to visit the training grounds. Well, when we got there, Patsy and his trainer were having their usual morning bout. The trainer was a big, broad shouldered, good natured fellow, genial and smiling of face as a well fed child. He was a little too much for Patsy, and was giving him some pretty hard exorcise. I suppose Sullivan fancied that the trainer was unnec essarily severe. At any rate, I saw Sullivan's face grow darker, and I knew that trouble was brewing. Finally Snllivan slipped off bis coat and threw it over the back of a chair; then, waiting until he saw the trainer advancing to attack Patsy with redoubled energy, Sulli van reached out that right arm of his, and bis big fist caught the good natured Irishman full in the mouth. It didn’t look as though Sullivan put any force at all Into the blow; it seemed to ns as if he merely put out his fist—so—and let the other fellow run against it. But, gracious! You should have seen that Irishman keel over. I'll bet he went back 20 feet before be stopped. Then be turned a back somersault over the hind wheel of our wagon and fell to the ground, apparently dead. He didn’t regain consciousness for two hours, and you oan imagine that those two hours were the most miserable Goodwin and I ever spent. We fan cied ourselves forever disgraced by being pulled into court as witnesses, perhaps aa accessories, to the killing of this inSooent man. Our suspense was simply dreadful. Finally, how ever, after bunting up a doctor and working over the fellow for two hours, the victim oame to. The first thing be did was to pat one hand feebly to bis mouth as if to learn what damage that swollen orifice bed sustained. And then, smiling amiably, he said, “Be Jabere, that was a wicked tbrusht 1" Yon see, he never lost hie temper at all; as I have told you, ha waa the beet na tured fellow I ever saw. “But the honor of having been hit by Sullivan was too much for him. Having regained consciousness he proceeded to fill himself with liq uor, and it wasn’t long before the rural constabulary had to be called to take him into custody. Aa he was a powerful creature and fought viciously, it became necessary to pound him into 'subjection, and by the time he was lodged in jail he waa a bloody spectacle indeed. Next morning he was released, there be ing nobody willing to prosecute him, but even then he had not lost all sense of the great honor of hav ing been bit by Snllivan, and so be left to the brave* 1 of the Pal- i, un g about the jail all day boasting meUo Regiment^ which^ fought Q f that honor and expressing an am bition to liok the oombinedoonstnb- iu the Mexican war.
