He Was Very Mach Mistakei.
Mr. Kohn, one of the correspon
dents of the News and Conrier, who
was in Darlington during the recent
trouble, made a very great mistake
when he said that the colored people
were indifferent abont the sad trag
edy in which two of oar citizens
were murdered. If he had seen some
of the best and most intelligent col
ored nun of the town gathering at
the depot, on that sad afternoon,
with arms in their hands, be would
never have done them the injustice
of saying they were indifferent
They were jnsf, the reverse and if
any of those spies had fallen iuto
their hands they would never have
seen another sun rise. In addition
to this quite a number of our colored
fellow citizens remained all night
with a squad that were trying to
overtake the murderers. This action
on their |tart was not actmiited by
op]*» ilion to the Dispensary, bnt on
ncv'tOit of ihv indignation they felt
at toe murder j>f two of our citizens
Their action woe spontaneous and
not the result of solicitation from
any one, and is very highly to their
credit. It showed, too. their appre
ciation of the declaration of the
white citizens that their homes
should he protected from invasion.

For several days pad one of the

a thorough examination into the ao
counts of the postoffice at this place,
the result on which was the arrest,
on Wednesday morning, of Mr. J.
H. Schmid who, up to several
months ago, was in charge of the
books and the money order depart-
nlent. Mr. J. G. Gatlin, the recent
incambent of the office, which has
jnst been turned over to the new post
master, Mr. A. A. Gandy, has been
an invalid for a long time, and in
consequence has had to entrust the
duties of the office to his subordi
nates. So far as we can gather the
defalcation occurred without the
knowledge of Mr. Gatlin or any of
the other employees of the office,
although it is probable that he or
his bondsmen will have to make
good the amount of the shortage,
which i* supposed to be about
§1,000.
Mr. Schmid was given a prelimi
nary hearing before U. S. Commis
sioner H. E. P. Sanders and the
evidence against him was of such a
nature as to make the commissioner
bind him over to appear for trial at
the next session of the U. S. District
Court. These are all the facts in
the case that we can gather.

The action of Ool. Dargan in ar
resting' the spies, Cain and Mc-
Knight, at Snmter, was in the high
est degree commendable, and deserves
the sincere thanks of the people of
onr town. It is bnt jnst to say that
Col.- Dargan applied to the sheriff,
trial justice, mayor and chief of
police to make the arrest and on
their faiiure'to respond, accompanied
by two other citizens, he arrested
them himself and turned them over
to the sheriff. That they were al
lowed to leave Snmter before any ac
tion could he taken by the Darling
ton people was no f«ull of his, us it
was done by other parlies. The
danger inc : dent to the arrest of two
heavily armed men by a posse of
three might well have deterred some
people from making an attempt of
this kind, hut a man like Col. Dar-
gau never counts the cost of doing
an act that counts in the way of doing
what he conceives to be his duty.

An Open Letter to Gov. Tillman.
Washington, D.C., April 7, ’94.
To It. U. Tillman, Governor and
Chairman, Columbia, S. C.—Dear
Sir: I notice in an interview with
the World correspondent in Colum
bia, which is published in the issne
of the World of this date, yon say:
“Dispenser Floyd seems to have made
himself obnoxious, and when that
dispensary starts it will be with a
new man.”
Yon have perhaps forgotten the
circumstances under which 1 was
selected dispenser at Darlington.
The town was opposed to the law
and the establishment of a dispen
sary, and yon well know that it was
mainly through my influence that
the requisite number of names was
obtained on the petition. I was not
then considered by you obnoxious,
but was selected on the. ground of
my availability.
Permit me then to ask the ques
tion, when was it, then, that yon
discovered that I was obnoxious ? It
seems that in your opinion that
something has occurred to make me
so, and I am at a loss to divine what
it is. My leaving Darlington at the
time I did was not a desertion of my
post of duty, (for yon had ordered
me to close the dispensary,) hut sim
ply an act of self preservation in
spired by the surroundings and by
the advice of trusted friends.
Anything I have said in the news
papers was not intended to antagon
ize either the Conservatives or Re
formers. and could not make one
“obnoxious J ’
To remove me because I was ob
noxious seems to me an insufficient
and unjustifiable ground, because at
the time of my appointment you
well knew that the Conservatives
were not only displeased hut yiolent-
ly opposed to my selection, and I
was odions to them. To say I am
obnoxious to the “Reformers” does
not accord with my knowledge of the
sentiment of the “Reformers” of
Darlington county.
For yon should remember that
with the Conseryatives of the State
you are obnoxious would furnish a
strong reason for your impeachment
The injustice of my removal on
the ground you state is, therefore,
apparent If I have rendered my
self obnoxions to the people of
Darlington it has been by faithfully
obeying your orders. You are then
in part, responsible for it Now
you evade this responsibility and by
yonr desertion of me not only bring
me in disrepute with Reformers, but
cruelly injure me. This is poor en
couragement to yonr friends.
Of course if I am removed I bow
submissively to the will of the Execu
tive who has ti e power to displace,
but in this act of removal I feel that
there is the exercise of an nnjust
and tyrannical power. So fur as the
dispensary law is concerned I have
favored it and its due execution, bnt
I am satisfied now that the public
sentiment of the State will never
acquiesce in its rigid enforcement
The opposition engendered to it can
not be peaceably overcome. With
these convictions it is perhaps, best
that I should no longer be officially
connected with its enforcement
Very respectfully your obedient
servant, J. Buckner Floyd,
Dispenser Darlington County.
with Mr. McLanrin’s reflections on
the recent troubles in the State.
We differ from him politically, bnt
the expressions quoted above show
\cry conclusively that he has made
himself acquainted with the true
condition of affairs and is in thor-
ongh sympathy with the people in
their determination to preserve the
sanctity of their homes.
What he says is highly creditable
both to his head and heart and de
serves the sincere approbation of our
people. His candor and truth is in
striking contrast to the condnct of
Senator Irby, who made haste to
publish a whole string of falsehoods
in regard to the trouble.

Dixon’s Mistateaents.
“The War in South Carolina” was
the subject of Rev. Thomas Dixon’s
prelude at the Twenty-third Street
Baptist Church yesterday. He said:
“The law of South Carolina prom
ises to give the death-blow to the
saloon. Knowing this, the liquor
men not only of I hat State hut of
New York as well, are arrayed in
deadly opposition to u fearless, just
and honest Governor, who is seeking
to perform Ids duty to the people.
Natu'-vlly we hear the eamo old
twoc de about invading the private
rigid of citizens. If we admit the
right of a man to debauch and cor
rupt his fellow-men, to ruin homes
and scatter, families, then private
rights have been invaded in South
Carolina, and Goy. Til'man has been
the leader of the invaders. If we
deny this right, Gov. Tillman bus
done his duty fearlessly and well,
and praise and credit are dne him.”
—New York World.
It would be extremely difficult for
the most unscrupulous reporter to
make any more misstatements than
the above article contains. For the
information of those who are not
familiar with Mr. Dixon’s reputation
we will say that he is a native of
North Carolina, a sensationalist of
the first order who delivers political
harangues and dignifies them with
the name of sermons. He is never
so happy us when slandering
the people of his own section, and has
just about us little claim to he re
garded as a preacher of the (lospvl as
Gov. Tillman has to lie considered a
law-abiding and peace-loving execu
tive. At the coronation of Mr. Till
man as Czar of South Carolina, Mr.
Dixon would make a line man for
court chaplain.
himself quite freely on the present
riots there. The Dispensary law is,
according to Mr. McLauriu, a bobby
of Governor Tillman. The people
of the State were tor prohibition bnt
not for such Dispensary legislation.
The people arc mostly of a thrifty
Scotch or English descent, and they
now see how foolish the present law,
rnshed hastily through the legisla
ture, k, especially as it involves a
right of search and an invasion of
their liberties such os South Caro
linians, of all people iu the world,
will not tolerate. When the present
law was passed at Goyeruor Till-
j»
man’s bidding there was a great out
cry in its favor. Not only did it
suit the prohibitionist feeling, but it
gave promise of yielding such large
taxes that no other Suite levies it
was thonght would be needed. Now
that the people realize what the re
sult is, to foster a right of inquisi
tion and an invasion of private
premises, besides a system of espion
age, they are up in arms. It is jnst
what might have been expected, bnt
it is nevertheless very deplorable.

Mr. McLaurin says that one rea
son yvhy the present troubles in
South Carolina cause him such deep
regret is because there is a general
misapprehension concerning the
Soutli Carolinian character‘prevail
ing very widely which the present
outbreak will serve to still further
exaggerate. The people of his State
are not fire-eaters or hot-blooded.
They are of sturdy Anglo-Saxon or
Huguenot French descent fur the'
most pait, and would never think of
violence under utdinary circum
stances. But they are like the peo
ple of Massachusetts, ready on suffi
cient provocation to declare loudly
in ile’euse of their rights. The law
so hastily passed was one of the kind
which causes u Jack Cade rebellion
or a whiskey resolution in I'euusyl-
vafiia, and the people of the State
arc biilTcring iu couscqcnce in a way
they do not deserve.
