They Get Up Again. The Dcniccrut of hist Friday was unusually refreshing, and has kept us in a good humor the whole week. We must therefore hasten to reciprocate .?onie of the courtesies so graciously extended. It will be remembered that severa 1 weeks ago certain questions were propounded to us in the columns of that pii] er reflecting upon the edito rial inuungencut of the Timks. We took no ( t?n.se whatever at the en quiries and insinuations, but set Lo work in the liest, humor to answer them and throw all the light wo could on the subject. Wo stated facts as we know them, but of course we did not ask the cditcr of the Democrat to boldjour pen. It seen.9 however that our answer is not satis factory to our neighbor, and that we must have bit Eomcwhere by the waj the target shakes. It is claimed liy the editor of the Democrat that we "went out of our way" in alluding to Bolivcr's pub lished statement a year ago that he paid the wages of the editor of tbe Dtmocrut lor] editing for him last year. I Jut in this we ditler with our neighbor. The very iuterrogati ons to us, to say nothing of the secret whisperings which have reached our ears, show that there was confusion in the public mind as to who was in alliance with Boliver, and as we seemed to be accused, we t bougbt'it proper to givo tho best light we kno.v upon tbe subject, which was lioltvers own statement, thinking that he must know best whom he employs orpa)s. We alluded to it as a mItter ol fact ns uo denial of it had ever appeared . At this late day bo never, nearly a year afterwards, tbe editor of tbe Democrat puts in a denial, asserting that Gen. Izlar paid bis wages aud not Boliver. Upon this Mr. Boliver sends a card to tlw Democrat, pub lished elsewhere, in which be reiter ates bis statement of January last, that he paid the wages of the editor of tbe Democrat, giving the money to Gen. Izlar, who paid it over to him, declaring that (Jen. Izlar "cannot and will not deny that it is true.'' Boliver furlbar states that the hinds of the paper were never in tbe ban da of tbe Court, and that "there never was a moment from the time he bought" the paper "to the time" he "sold it, January 1st 1870, thai" he "did not control its finance-." him self, "receiving and paying out all moneys nudj making all contracts.'' .No receiver was ever appointed in tbe case, and Gen. Izlar was only the Counsel both ol\ Boliver and tbe c :itor of the Democrat. IIcic^we.leave the matter with* the public, as it concerns the people only so far as it throws light upou tho history of the past, and illumines tbe pathway of the future. Welcome now.to the second point of attack in the Democrat, which was, that we brought to the notice of the public the fact that '.bat paper was mortgaged to Alonzo Webster in order to injure its jbiiainess. Our best answer to this cbargo)of imp ro priety is to quote what we did say, which is as follows : "To insinuate that the TlMKs, be cause it was bought from George Boliver, would in any way shield him when he requires a blow, is as unjust as to suppose that the ( Munge burg Democrat would be untrue to Democracy because it happens lo be mortgaged totAlonzo Webster." We therefore plainly said that it was unjust to censure on this score. It seems however, from the unusual tint ? tcring, that tin* must have been a tenelcr point with our neighbor. It is a little singular that, our neighbor was'not'so considerate ol us when it allowed insinuations to go into its columns, tho effect of which was to lead tbe public to believe that we were implicated with another Kadi* cal. Tbe third fittnek of the editor of the Democrat t to use his own langu age "only shows to what extent some people will go in their wild attempts to injure their neighbors." Jnhis vain elibrls to implicate us in Radi calism he catches at straws, atld jubi lantly refers to our editorial ujiiiioi). lion with the Clarion under T. C. A ml re ws. Il the editor of the Denvtcrat would take the trouble to exam ine our Democratic Club roll, bo would fiii11 the name of 1\ C. An drews signed in his own hand writing, when he came up in the presence ot many witnesses, repudiated his party, and cast his fortunes with the Demo cracy. It will be remembered too j that in '76 he did effective work for Hampton, carrying many votes for us, and in '78 he wore the rod shirt, working side by side with other Democrats against. the Radical knaves. Besides this he purchased the printing material which he turn ed over to Mr. Jas. 8. lleyward to run a Democratic paper, and labored faithfully as printer in getting it out. He therefore cannot be placed poli tically in the same category with Boliverand the rcstof the "stalwarts'" who have never repented, or turned from the error of their ways. If wo are to treat new converts in this way, we don't see what will be the pros* 1 pect of increasing our ranks. We thcrelore boldly and defiantly reassert our declaration, that, "wo have never edited for a Radical anil never will." But the editor of tho Democrat goes further. He tries to make it appear from the fact that the papers for the printing material over the way were made directly from Webster to the present proprietors; of the "Demo erat", thai Andrews'tenure was of a doubtful naluic. It was right shrewd ly put, and not thinking ol it. before, knowing that Mr. Hcyward who con ducted the Taxji'tyer was too honor able a man to conduct it under a doubtful tenure, we took the pains to examine the records, und we find tho papers are male between Mrs. H. M. Andrews and Dr. Webster, and that the tenure, so far a| wc are ablo to judge, was just as giod as that by which ihe present proprietors of the Democrat now hold from D:. Web ster. Of course as editor of th.."' Clarion we hal nothing t> d> with the title, but this cunning attempt to bring us in contact with another Radical falls to the ground as com pletely as all the other wild ravings of this air-beating editor. The last attempt of the editor of the Democrat is, to injure our busi ness by publishing that "tho suit" against the Timms "is still pending, and no legal disposition can be mad e until the Court decides who owns it." .Now the best evidence of our neighbor's disbelief in h.s ow.i Blatemeut above quote 1 is r is action last January in seeking to buy the Timms to consolidate with the Democrat in order to j essess the whole field, anil have but one paper in the County. The. whole truth is, the so called suit against the paper is all smoke, and never will conic to any thing,and, the attempt ot tho Democrat to make a scare-crow out of it, is in perfect keeping w ill) all the rest of the boasted "charity" of this saintly editor. Ths public need have no fears, and our neighbors over the way may as well moderate their rejoicings on this head. ThcTlMKH is going ahead, ami there will be no interruption. JN'carly a year of our proprietorship has passed, and we have every en couragement tor the future. Our largely augmented subscription list is the best evidence of the public ap proval of our conservative course. So long as we. occupy the editorial tripod, this paper shall never be gagged by cliques or controlled by clas.-es, hut shall he the free au I out spoken mouth-piece of the people. Combinations and unholy allia rv-i may always expect our uncomprom ising hostility. The Legislature. This body assembled in Columbia on Tuesday. All eyes will now be turned in thi.-> direction. Besides new business thai will conic up. the following matters, h t'i over from the last session, will bo lip. 1. Two propositions to amend the Constitution so as to have State and Congressional elections cither on dif ferent days,or in different boxes. 2. Bills to amend the election laws. 'A. Bills to regulate costs and fees ' As the "News ami Courier" says, "anything that reduces the cost of litigation will he welcome." 4. The fence law will he discussed. f>. A Registration hill will come up. (i. The school question will occupy much thought, und it is sure that it | needs the greatest attention. I 7. The Homestead Law will he regulated. There will, doubtless, also be a great do ' of new business. Upon each of the heads brought up, we w ill inform our readers from time, to time, presenting the different views aud phases of the various ques tioUS. The Governor's Message. Gov. Simpson's message presente 1 to the General Assembly on Tuesday contains some important suggestions The stock law is touched upon, aud highly commended in the Counties iu w hich il has been put in operation, and it is suggested to the wisdom of the Legislature whether it miy not be advisable to extend it to ths (Joan ties in which it is not yet introduced . The reprehensible habit of carry ing concealed weapons is also justly inveighed upon, ami a Strong app.wl is made for the enforcement of existing laws upon the subject, an 1 t'tu arms ing of public opiuioa agiinstit. Un the subject ot" finances the Gov ernor makes an important recom mendation, that the Cjunty C>m missioners Report iu the various Counties should be published in the County papers just previous to the sittings of the Court, and be examin ed by the Court and Grand Jury, instead!)!*, as now, by the Legislature. A very important contrast is shown between ihe Legislative expenses under Radical rule in 187?, and the Democratic in 1879 as follows: Radirai (187?). 8351,000. Democratic (1870;. $1*24 80? Democratic saving. $226,200. Upon the school question the Gov ernor is very full and satisfactory. On this point we give the following short extract from his vainwlc mes sage: ^ I "A perfect school systenlnvould l)e one. which, hy its own machine!y, would bring into the school room all the youths of the State between the proper ages, and subject them for the greater part of the year to the tuition of thoroughly competent and pro fessional teachers ?competent to in struct and discipline tue min I as well as develop and discipline the charact er?this last being, in my judgment, as important, if not more important, than the first." Speaking of the schools for the colored race he says : "The improvement in the schools for the colored race has been marked. It is worthy of note that since lfS7t> the average increase of attendance of colored pupils has beeu more Lhao 40 per cent, greater than under the Re publican ad minis t rations." There are many other points iu the message upon which wo would like to touch, but time and space forbids this week. It is an excellent docu ment, and will he of great benefit iu guiding the counsels of our law uiak crs. Practice More. If there is one characteristic of our nature more fully developed than another, it is in being unselfishly devoted to our friends and in prac ticing a forgiving charity towards our enemies.? Oratufchury Dturiocrut. My dear brother, if thi?. is the greatest development of yournaturo, we pity the list. If you would re ceive a lecture in kindness from another pilgrim on life's highway, it would simply be this : Practice more and preach less. ?>j?^???im? ?'? m ??
