(W ; Tiltentn|} 8 ^v. rfl ’f' 1 ' r ^ ua - -" aunouheiugs that^ the l)iS|Jona»|rie8 ■ We wish we hu'l room to reprint Ijn stich an arbitrary fashion, and in what I hk Fueemak said on July a manner that not only causes iui- meuse loss of property, hut of life It is humiliating to think thatuny people with the blood of the Anglo- Saxon race in their veins will submit, as the majority of the ]>eiple of this State are doing, to the rule of a despot. Will somebody, who is posted in ancient political history, please tell us who was the first Reformer in South Carolina? This everlasting glory is claimed by a number of our fellow-citizens, and the credit should be placed where jt belongs. The Alliance has done a most creditable piece of work in expelling Larry Gant from the order. Tbi, was done at Aiken on Thursday This action on the part of the Alii atice will he a death blow to Mr. Stanyarne Wilson’s aspiration for Congress. If the next Legislature, by some mischance, should prove refractory, and the Suitau should, like Crom well when he put an end to the Long Parliament, dissolve it, we verily believe that most of the orgau.- wonld not only utter no protest, hu: sustain the act ns one of wisdou and bow their necks to the yoke of the oppressor. We are called upon so often to criticise Governor Tillman that if gives ns special pleasure to iind something he lijji done which we can prJse. Er ias had very fim- portraits of Gens. Moultrie and Marion painted and placed in the Representatives hall in the Capitol. This is something for which he de serves unstinted commendation. _ He defrayed the cost out of his contin gent fund. ^ • The Alliance, after a long and bnmiliating submission to Tillman, has made some show of asserting itself, and, at the meeting, now in session at Aiken, reaffirms its decis ion not to support any candidate for any office unless he supports all id the Ocala demands. Of comae if the Alliance means what it says this would exclude Tillman, bnt .lobody really expects that this will happen. The Czar will only have to stamp his foot, look fierce and crack his When the poor little trembling Alh Bbce mouse will rush to the shelter of bis protecting paw. One of the latest sensations in the Reform ranks is an editorial in the Columbia Register, in which Gov ernor Tillman is severely criticised 16r re-opening the Dispensaries. It was reported in Columbia on Tuesday that the Governor was in a towering rage about the article and was in dulging in some pretty profane lan guage at the expense of the organ. If it he true, as asserted by that truly truthful man, Yr. John Gary Evans, that the Register was pur chased, it is pretty evident that the m mey is all spent and the organ w-uits to repent the operation of 8?llii'g out. If there was anythingleally worth publishing in thi campaign speeches we would gladly find space for at least some extracts from them, hut with the exception of Senator But ler’s addresses on national issues, which are troth instructive and en tertaining. the other sjkakers might be listened to until the end of time without adding the least particle to anybody’s stock of intelligence. In Lmt the thing has degenerated into something like a minstrel show, and could it have been one of the at tractions of the Midway I’laisance at the World's Fair, in Chicago, it would have received a tremendous patronage, for it certainly could not have been overshadowed by anything «)««is Uflf $ curieiilii* wluld tie re-opened on Aug. Ist-f Of coitrse ifo one is etirpriskl at this or, for that matter, at anything else that this wonld-be-despot does, but this last piece of insane folly will be viewed with the gravest apprehension by all intelligent people as some thing that will be almost certain to produce violence and bloodshed. There arc thousands of good men, within the State, who, while believ ing the law iniquitous, were yet willing to submit to its harsh pro visions as long.as it had the semb lance of being lawful; but who since the decision of the Supreme Court will not feel under aiiy obliga tion to either support or sustain it It is simply idle to expect, for a moment, that Governor Tillman will do aught else than to try and enforce the provisions of this legally dead act: and this brings the people face to face with probably the most S-Tious problem that has ever con fronted them and one which they cannot evade. The question is will they submit to the high-handed and tyranical acts of this perjurer, who hits sworn to uphold the constitution, or will they, accepting the decision of the Supreme Court, resist this unwarrantable and infamous in vasion of their liberties ? For ll.e sake of peace and for the good name of the State, we very much wish that it were possible for us to counsel submission, hut as we cannot conscientiously do this we have no hesitation in saying that we do not belieye our people are. under any obligation to do so, mid more than this that they cannot unless they are willing to see their dearly bought liberties trampled in the dust by a despot who neither fears God or regards man. If the issue is forced upon ns, voicing, as we believe we do, the sentiment of the people of Darling ton, we will meet it as becomes men whose ancestors fought against the tyrany of George the Third, and who are themselves ready for any sacrifice on the altur of liberty. ‘tbettrikiug from the Debs down” with the cOiiinieiiiM of some of our coUmr ponrtjies published to-day on our ife- Viinrkij. rt’e wish our • readers to place them side by side and judge for themselves with how much jus tice we have been accused of “sym pathising with lawlessness.” We wish to direct especial attention to the comment of the Darlington tier aid, because of the recent experiences the people of that county have had and the course of the editor of Ehe Fkkemak in regard to the troubles there. We have a very lively and grateful recollection or the liberal commendation bestowed by the Her aid on the editor of The Freeman for his course towards the Darling ton people and defence of that peo ple from the Mayor down. We rec llect too that the Tidmau organs most energetically and harshly as sailed the editor of The Freeman for not condemning the Darlington people for firing into that train, dec laring that we were “sympathising with lawlessness” and law breakers, &c. Our reply, after awhile, was that we had been too much engaged in severe condemnation of the origi nators of the troubles in Darlington and in personally assisting in resis tance to the outrages there to stop to make space for the expression of our disapproval of that incident which every right thinking person was bound to disapprove. That of course we condemned the tiring into the train, which endangered the lives and injured the property of innocent per sons. Now do let us remind the edi tor of the Darlington Herald, that when we declared plainly and unmis takably that we were in full sympa thy with the Darlington people from the Mayor down, who rose m resis tance to the aruidd ruffians, sent as spies to harness the people of Dar lington, that we do not think the Tillman organs were justified in de claring that we were “sympathising with lawlessness,” because we had rendered unqualified approval of the “striking” people of Darlington, who struck in defence'of their homes and self respecting manhood. When our attention was directed especially to the firing into the train of course we disapproved it. Now we need hardly say that we condemn every act of lawlessness on the part of the strikers out west of those claiming connection with tin in, hut we do not believe that Debs and tbe organization he headed, or any other labor organization, are any more responsible for lawlessness inci dent to their uprising, than was the Mayor of Darlington, and Wilcox and Nettles and the organization they headed wire responsible for the cot;* duct of those who tired into the train. As well condemn General Robert E. Lee and the Southern army, because some camp followers stole chickens and water-melons during tbe invasion of Pennsylvania. In times of npris ings, strikes, wars and great popular movements there will he incidental wrongs committed in some caies by .However, as the editor of the Freeman admits that he strongly disapproves of the violent acts of the strikers we deem it hardly necessary to go into an elaborate disenssion of the question, as it was only this to which we wished to call his attention. Organizations of this character, if it were possible to keep them within proper limits, could ac complish much good for their mem bers, but as they are, almost without exception, managed the evil they do far outweighs the benefits that might otherwise result from a practical and common sense management of them. While we acquit the Freeman of any intention to be the least unjust, we entirely fail to see any ground of comparison between these strikes and the Dispensary troubles m Darlington.

We have no acquaintance with Justice-Elect Gary and know noth ing whatever of him either ac a man or lawyer, hot if he pias.'sses the high character and attainments that would have justified his elevation to snch a delicate and responsible office, his position is not only painful hut humiliating in the greatest degree, fairly good people under excitement, Before he is inducted into office or! w ,^ lc ^. rece .' ve l he condemnation of has had an opportunity to hear tbe | ]ier|0|) ffUjlholda 8 ^ cas. 1 argued, his incision, on a grave from great causes, because of these constitutional question, is taken for gi-atitisl with a confidence that is simply amazing and at the same time inexcnsable, unless he has given some intimation f his course of action after assuming the ermine of a judge of the highest court in the State, a tribunal from which, on some questions at least, there can be no appeal. If Mr. Gary is worthy of the position, then he has, by the very men who were inatriimeutal in his election, lieen treated with a shame ful injustice which no words are strong enough to properly condemn. The Tillman organs, almost without exception, have spoken with the ut most confidence of the Dispensary decision, and Governor Tillman while not saying the same in words has practically implied it by his declaration that the Dispeusm ms would be re-opened on Aug. 1st. In fact Goverior Tillniau’s action in the matter is of sncii a nature that with an intelligent and conscientious Legislature he would stolid a good chance to he impeached, not only for this bnt for his many other high handed and inexcusable acts. If it turns out that Me- Gary is the kind of man fit to he entrusted with such a position it will he u hitter disappointment, not only to the Dictator himself, hut to • hi> supporters also, for it is inqiossihlc to escape the conviction that he wu.- elected on the supposition I hat In- would he sure to render his decisions to suit the will of the Tyrant, and not according to his oath and the plain requirement? of the constitu tion. Even such a fence-straddler and dodger as the editor of the Abbeville Press and Banner says that Mr. attendant incidental wrqng doings on the part of a few persons, more or less closely connected with such geu- jeral movements. The above is part of an article I which appeared in the Freeman in I reply to an editorial of the Herald, | “sympathising with lawlessness.” We ycry much regret that we have not space for publishing the article of our contemporary in full, hut it would occupy at least two columns and we would have no space left in which to reply. We wish mint em phatically to say that wc reiterate everything that we said in regard to the word and acts of Col. Dargan in reference to the Dispensary troubles, and feel assured that be would have done more had it been in his power. No one who knows the editor of our contemporary would even for a moment question either the honesty of his convictions or the candor courage and ability with which he expresses and dejeuds them, hut the trouble with him is in letting his sympathy run away with his judge ment, and thereby being betrayed Into advocating measures that a little reflection would show him to be both impolitic and unwise. So far us Debs, the instigator of the strike is concerned he needs no sympathy us he is not, in the true meaning of the word, a laborer, being in the enjoyment of a handsome income as Prentof the Railway Union. And then too the fact must he considered that a large majority of the strikers had, in reality, no .grievance, but merely quit work in order to show their sympathy with the Pullman Car workman who claimed to have been the victims of persistent oppres sion from this great corporation.
