(Hi hails from Union County aud voted Cleveland at Chicago ) I was not certain how this "b list" reached the President until I r tioned the sulject to Senator Irby, was greatly surprised to know tba was iu possession of the secret, ano his seal fco ascertain where I rece the information he said that be present wheo Governor Tillman w 'the letter, and that only Governor man-, the President and himself \ ^ware that such a communication is existence.

The iod?cat? ; are that the President may determ j to ail the South Carolina oftices w i men who are not actively identified w . either of the contending factions. ! Special to The Stats. WASHINGTON, April I.-I called ; the "Reformers" headquarters at I j National hotel today and found th ; Messrs. Talbert, Strait,'Jarniffan. Po ! Latimer and Irby, all consulting w ? one another. They claim that it is I iron-ribbed crowd, and any defecti ! from their ranks to the Couseratp need not be expected, aud that to with them is to recognize that a lei i feast is going on all the time. Th j canuot conceive how the Couservatn coald have built auy hopes upon a ( j feetloa that would amount to anythi j to them. A simple stroke of the h j with either -feand from one of the me ! bers,, they say, brings absolute qui j and that they are perfectly organize I They announced that they have come j several conclusions, but nothing I jyn bli cation, i Congressman She'll, so it is assert j by some of the members, -did uot atte j t4ie meeting today, on account of sic ! ce ss; otherwise he would have be ! present. j Thc communication addressee! by f Tillmanites to the president has n ! yet been answered by him-. Tin I believe, however, that a reply will , ! received early next week. ! The most inconceivable thing tc t' j Conservatives here in Wash in gio j they claim, is the method by whi: : all their disjointed elements can ? back int*? Dlace when trouble comes. Thc claims of all the applicants < j the "Reformers" side were duly co: i j sidered, and most all of them receive votes *o the conference; but, as in a j political contests, somebody had to 1 . 'disappointed, for which the "ReiV.ru j ers'* say they are sorry. Before tb? ! west into the conference it was agree j tb at a majority vote carried wi) j it tiie unanimous endorsement. Then j fore these meu got tho un ante: cus vol j if they carried the conf?rence, j Mr. Ragsdale, of Winusborc, vi ! has been here for eoesc time lo*c-h?n ; I after his rate rests in regard to ti j District Attorneyf-hip, will leave fee: i tonight for home. Mr. Haysdale ba : c o jan extended interview with Sentit? j Butler today, at. which, it is suppos?e ! the District Attorneysbip was discussed ?:i What passed bet wee u the two gentle men ia not known, although Mr. Ragt ; iJiil" says be had a V? ry pleasant an agreeable talk with lae Senator, au . ; thinks his ch au ces are tcry good. ; Special to The State. I WASHINGTO*;. April 2-It will b . i remembered that A. G. Latimer, mem - ber of Cotig;^ss from tho Third !Nis i trict of Soul!) Carolina, visited a!! th ; prominent points in his district in lb ! carly part of "vcbrUary last, with a vier \ to selecting thone wh'C were fo be favor 1 ed with Federal appointments, wiiicl , ! he, at that time, fully expected to cou I trot. lt is s tate J herc that the first qu?J;%atiou of thc applicant was '.ha! he should produce satisfactory evi that he hau cast his vite iii thc pri for Latirner, against ear-??epresen Johstone. Tho second qualifie was that he should certify ?hat he a member of the Alliance in standing. All applientio-ns from supportes were filed with hi nj, anc said that he allowed those whose pointmeut he favored to scratioiz applications and petitions of o placed iu his hands for the same c lu one instance, it is stated, La suggested to his favorite applicau a certaiu fourth class poctoffice th; compare bis list with that of his petitors, which Wa? in hi? hands, gets affidavits from the parties v names appo-.red on both of the tions, said .<<ES-lav:ts to be in favor ( (Latimer's} favCiite applicant, and he would bit as judgf? in chancer} fore presenting the several appiica to the department. Some of these petitions have known to be in thc hands of the O i te Congressman fer more than t days, as they were not placed on ii the department until the 25th of month. It is verv evident that Ballater found himself placed in a Very awk' position, having promised any nui of appointments to h?3 supporters whom he now finds he will not be to deliver the goods. He will nc abl'e to even fulfill a contract tba made on tbs 30th of August last, day before he knew he would be nest member of Congress from Third District. WASHINGTON, April 4.-Spec'ia The State.-Dr. J. B. 0. LaadrCft highly respected ci'izen of Spartan b who is ac applicant for a burean \ ?ion-, has given me a signed staten jin detail of an interview he had < Irby here on March 14th. Ke in duced himself with -a letter from Vi Jones of Columbia. The Sen refused to endorse his application, ing he did not propose io make an of himself by endorsing a man who opposed and would oppose Tilln [Mind you this was at the time 1 was claiming he wanted an "cquit; division ''] Irby having said he had heard i Dr. Landruoi was a bitter partisan, latter replied that he was a Consei ti ve a-Tjd in favor of a reconcilia between the factions, and thought C? Shell would be a good com pron candidate for Governor Irby respo that would not do him any good v him ,;(lrby), for Shell himself gone back on thc "Reform'7 party. Here are the succeeding expresai of the Senator in Dr. L-Audrum's c words: "He said I might be auxious bring the factions together in our St politics, but that he was not-; that expected to keep the lines distinct ; . separate in order to carry the 'Refoi meaeures in the State which had aire; begun.7' This is of value as ?howing Sena Irby's secret motive in his rec manccuvers on the patronage questii I have seen Mr. W. J. L^oreveu, Spnrtauburg, whose story of his int view with Irby was telegraphed yest day. He had beu induced to appro; 'Irby by the advice of Conservati friends, and had forwarded a letter endorsement to him from Col. Willi; Wallace, of 'Columbia, to which Ir had replied that he would give I ! claims due consideration. Irby's exact words in regard j Shell, Mr. Screven says, were: "C : sciell the G--d-d scoundr he'll sign anything.*' Shell has bea of tbi'5 remaik, and said to-day that Irby wanted to tackle him he km where t) find him. Everything is t harmonious among the Ocalaite bret ren, as future developments will prot . Irby told Mr S rreven that Sparta burg touida't expect anything frc him. WASHINGTON, April 5.-Special The State-The hearing given t Ocala Congressman by Postmast General Maxwell to day was mighty interesting1 proceeding, was held in the Post ???ce Depa? ment at o p. m. and lasted until 5:3 There were present Senators But! and Irby, repr?sentatives She Strait, Latirner and Talbert and e: Representatives Johnstone and Hem hill. Senator Irby having taken h private stenographer along, Senat? Hutler engaged one also and you w have, in two or three days, a ft transcript of the arguments, i irby and Talbert were loud ar. defiant ; Strait and Latirner subdue and excusatory; Shell rather shy Butler, Iiemphill and Johnstone, co< and keen. Senator Irby started out by savin j that while his side was armed oui I willi facts he had the authority of gentleman lor saying that Senatt Butler had come siici: :ii hand an pistol in pocket ' Senator Buller challenged thc nan] of his informant. Irby said it was II. Tillman. Senator Butler saul ?t was false he Had never carried a pistol in Iii life ; he was amazed that his co league should repeat KO ridiculous statement in this presence. 1 Latirner p?>oke first. He claime he had always been, ano won! ai ways be. a fcemocrat . jj hat wini he had opposed Cleveland's noni int ' lion, he had acquiesced loyally au helped elect him. Mr. licmphili said the rruestm '?was whether Democratic pairotiag ' Kvou'd be given to aid i-' oppositio: Ito Democratic principles, lie kai . ! the right, as a pi iv.tte citizen, t< i mahe ^commendations for office, am j would continue t'> exercise it. Tin ' ! majority against him in tho priman ' j had only been 1 73, and he repre M smiled more Democrats than Strait i lie was surprised to see llmse gentle ts eh here. If he liad, like them i claimed thal Cleveland was not ; ! j democrat, he would not, like them ' j be found asking favors of him. i Strait said thai any assertion that : ? he was md a Democrat was tinline. !j Mr. Johnstone made a masterly ' i summary of Latimor's record in op ' j position to Democratic principles,. 1 and asked question after question touching his presence ot the St. ! Louis convention, fte, which Lat i ? ^ mer didn't answer. propounded these final Questions with ? impressiveness, telling Latimer to quibble or evade : First-"Do you hold the De eratic platform adopted at Chic to be superior in its binding f< upon yon t? the platform or pr pies of ar.y olher ?arty organiza or body?"" No answer. Second-"I/o you disapprove and are you in opposition to the j form o? the Third carly adoptee Omaha V No answer. Senator Irby asked .Mr. Jons?o? he hadn't voted tor Latimer. J< stone said he ftad. as pledged in primary A similar question subsequently asked of Hemphil to Strait; and a similar reply made. The effort was to show these gentlemen had thus adm! the Democracy of their opponent Mr Talbert made a stump spe'; full of sound and fury, signify nothing, and pounded the table u the noise resounded through the : ridors. Ile insisted that this wi humiliating spectacle ; that he always berm a Jeffersonian Democ "opposed to corporations of all ki and' all classes," and that the otl ran on the same platform and w in the Same position, which claimed was Democratic. Mr Shell said ke Was not Callee lo d?tend his Democracy, as th was no question of it Still, cherished Alliance principles as cq to any other. Ile had attended A ance conferences in Washington w Johnstone in the last Congress, ; could say that no man contribu more to the success of the Allia demands than did his friend Jo stone. Latimer claimed last fall that Jo stone had taken home from Was hi ton letters from Livingston. Irby, interpolating-. "And Wati and Macune.;; Johstone-"I didn't do ?nyth of tte sort." j Latimer-"And from Tillman, '. ? erett and Moses.'7 Shell said Johnstone had repi ated the sub treasury bil!. ! Irby asked if he hadn't support the sub-treasury scheme. Shell said he had favored the fin cial aim of the Alliance. Johnstone emphatically denied tl he had supported the sub treasu He had made his fight against it IS90 and last year. Shell admitted that Johnstone h ! said he didn't a^ree to the fiat mor j and unsound money doctrines of t I Alliance. I Postmaster General Bissell ask ! Irby if he wished to say anything. Irby said he would wait until B 1er had spoken. Butler said unless it was distinc understood that his colleague \\ i running this conference he would t j be dictated to by him. When was ready to speak, he would spei and not until then, If Irby desir to speak, Tel timi do So, or; Iris o\ j responsibility, and not atttempt ! dictate to him. Irby denied that he sought to d: I tate, if Senator Sutler stood neuti I between the "reform" and "anti-i ! form" factions in South Carolina, ai j wished to remain in that positic I then he cheerfully accorded him t ! right, He had not been so regard up to this time. Butler ironically thanked kitti ? ! his kind permission. Irby spoke with passion, and ! vehemently that he could be heard j the corridor. He said he stood the I as the State Democratic chairraa ! and was surprised, mortified, hcnii ! ated and chagrined, in common wi ! all good people and true Democrats j South Carolina, at this inquisith j into t he Democracy of these Kept j seuta?ives. lie argued that the tr j were true Democrats, who had su j milted to the action of the Nation j convention They had defeati j these men vrV.o were now trying j injure them in their party and put ! stigma upon them. Ilempliill tried to interrupt hir but Irby shouted Ins refusai to I interrupted-; saying Ilempliill was m ! a representative of the South Caroiii I Democracy. When the Third pari : showed its head in South Carolin j I fought it as zealously, and honest! j as any man in the United State I Ilempliill and Johnstone hadn't bec I for Cleveland till !;.e was elected an ! there was chance to secure tile cram! o: o??ice. j Johnstone tried io reply. Irby r j fused ti> yield. Irby said he \v< ! responsible outside for anything 1: j said : i Ii by went on to say that Johnston 1 and llemphill had folded their banc ? in 1800, during the Haskel! niov. J ment, but now came here to ?n?pe?c i the Democracy of the men who h;i ! beaten them fairly as Democrats, au ; who were as true D^rcocVatS as an ! iii South Carolina. Ti hy's manner was di liant and it j soient. ! Senator Butler said the\T had hear ! enough oratory, and he didn't thin , it necessary to say anything. II j had been invited there by the Post j master General lo be a listener, n< j a speaker. As a representative < I South Carol ilia, he, too, thought thi i a humiliating spectacle ; but ti es , gentlemen had brought the hamil: I ation upon themselves, ls by -' I deny it." j Tho Postmaster General ad mor i islred li by that as ho had refused t j allow interruptions he must not inter j nipt I Butler tn Irby---"! don't intend t< submit to any insolence from yon I Thal sort of thing may be very wei ; for a township meeting at home, CH; i it's not very becoming to act tu tba j manner here, and it s net going ti . win. ? want, that distinctly under , stood Senator Butler said he had har j nothing to do with the black*, ist i nj?1 Ile would be very glad to be reiieve? I of all ibo cap's of patronage. : Strait ask? d Butler if lie regarder him a* a Democrat. ; Butler-"You must vindicate vein 90 own Democracy. I've not impeached ! fetrait-" I don't care whether yotr answer it or not." Butler-"Then ft was a great im pe?t?ence on your p a rt to ask nie.'' Johnstone said he had always op? posed the sch treasury bill. It was not true that he had taken home let? ters from Macnne and Watson, or ?h?rd partyities Some Alliance friends who had learned to like him had written to some gentlemen in South Carolina in his fa'vor.?nd he had taken horne that letter. l?e said it was not trne that he had folded his hand's in Che Haskell campaign. ??emphil! said th?t he had made three speeches for Tillman. Irby--"It must be so, then ; but i didn't remember it " Mr.BisRell did not say when he would render his decidion,, or what j it would be bet tvro incidents are I significant. When Latirner'said he would vote with the Democrats on the organiza? tion of the IIouse,lhe Postmaster G?n? ?ral asked him : ''Which is more im? portant, t?:e organization ?? the offi? cers or the principles of the party ?" Latirner wac rather stamped, but re? plied i '?I think tlie principes that effect Cur people more important than the men in office " The other incident occurred after j the hearing, when Latirner tried to ask Mr. Bissel something about his ! home postoffiee, Anderson. The Postmaster General replied : Vii liear you some other time. fcat?r??er : "1 jest want to ask yon. one question about it Mr. Bissell-"I dcu't care to an? swer that now " Latirner, Strait and Talbert took the first train back to South Carolina. . It is presumed that thev are tired. Postmaster General ?isseli will not render any formal decision in the case, but it is regarded as pretty cer? tain that he Will begin soon the ap? pel utment of postmasters at the sug? gestion of the Conservatives. Ile reiterated to day his determination not to regard the recommendations of Congressmen as final and not to ap? point postmasters from beyond the delivery limits of the officers. These are of course adverse to the Ocalite policies. G-eorge Johnstone is receiving many congratulations for his master? ly arrangement of Latirner. When leaving, Senator Butler tax? ed Jim Tillman with what Irby had charged, and found that he had made his representation to Irby upon a joking remark of his to the effect that he supposed he'd have to take a Gatling gun with him to the meeting. Capt. Ai. Gammon, of Charleston, who is a candidate for boiler inspect or at Charleston, has stated that two days ago Irby withdrew his endorse? ment Acm his paper, as he was anti Tillman, but offered to renew it and j aid him if he would tell- him how Brawley beat Stokes in Charleston. How's this for Senatorial dignity? Representative Brawley is expect^ ed here on the lith. ?t is hoped that he wiil retain earlier. Getting New State Eonds. ::' Since the Governor and State Treas? urer have placed the. new 4^ per cent refundmeui bends with the Baltimore syndicate, confidence in the State's j credit has been greatly restored. It looks, too, like the syndicate, which se . cured the bonds on the terms already mentioned, is going to make a great deal oat of the transaction. Yesterday State Treasurer Bates re? ceived a letter from Mr. Robert C Da? vidson, the former mayor of Baltimore, who is the president cf the Butiaiore Trust and Guarantee Company, the agent's of the syndicate, saying that $6(H?,0(K) worth of the new bonds hid been sold. Ke did not mention the pcrehasers cr the price at which they were cold. At this rate treasurer Bates says it will not be long before the cutir? Jssce of these bonds will be sold No one expected to sec tiena seid ic such : a large slice as this. Cr. Bates says the syndicate, in his opinion, has it ia its power to make these bonds bring 1^5 on the market. By caving them all in its possession ?: and holding oe to them or selling ic such large blocks it can cia?e it well I nigh impossible for individuals to buy : thea. l?e would not be surprised to see them rca up to 110 or 120. Ile says this is going to make South Caro? lina securities bring more on the mar? kets iu the next six mouths than at any time since the war. The confidence of j the financial world in tie securities of i this State bas already been strengthen? ed. A year ago Bro^n consols were going begging and now they can hardly bo had. ile says : ,4I regard this new il per cent bond as the stroogest bond iilat the State has ever issued."
