WASHINGTON. D. C., March ?
?t appears DOW that Governor Til
and Senator Irby were the pioneei
the "blacklisting business," and
representatives in the nest House
but receiving the same treatment al
'bands Of tue Administration that
man and Irby intended for others,
'eral days ago ? received an intim
that Governor Tillman wrote a 1
requesting the President to "fern
pictures of four men in South Oar
to the wall." After considerable
cully I obtained the uanies on the
man "black list," which are as foll*
The first named on the list is Jame;
! Hemphill, Editor of The News
'Courier: second, Benjaiu F. Pe
j who wants to be collector of inti
revenue ; third, N. G. Gonzales, ei
of the State ; fourth, M. L. Donald
(president of the ^Sf ate Farriers'

added another name to the list an
turns out lo bc Robert Harris. (Hi
hails from Union County aud voted

I was not certain how this "b
list" reached the President until I r

was greatly surprised to know tba
was iu possession of the secret, ano
his seal fco ascertain where I rece

! 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 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

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

! there was chance to secure tile cram!

j Johnstone tried io reply. Irby r

i Ii by went on to say that Johnston
1 and llemphill had folded their banc

; who were as true D^rcocVatS as an

Ti hy's manner was di liant and it

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

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.

Mr. Bissell-"I dcu't care to an?

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

How's this for Senatorial dignity?

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." Ile
gives as his reasons for this, that the
act authorising the issue of the bonds
also provides far the creating of a stand?
ing sinking fend of ?75,GOD, and
makes the basis of the bond a virtual
lien oe tho State's phosphate territory.
Again the coupons' when they reach
maturity are made receivable for all
i taxes escort tho spacial school tax.
Even the principal is receivable for
such taxes when it matures. He says
f" he regrets that the people cf the State
? ? have pc little money that they cannot
. alford to buy these bonds. But trey
j can get from 6 ta 8 per cent, for their
j money io other investments and cannot
i afr ?rd to take 4}, percent, on these
hoads -The Stare", April 4th.

The Coat of Arms.
Govenor Tillman has determined to
have a correct copy of the coat of arms
of the Scate. The only painting that
is cow in the pression of the State is
historically and otherwise defective.
The authorities want to get a correct
copy and they propose to have it if pos:

a copy of which is g:veu :
Capt. IV tn A. Courtenay, Charles?

Dear Sir : ? have an idea of having'
prepared i correct copy of the coat of*
arms cf the Stare. It has occurred to
me that it. would be a proper thing to.
ba've a continental oS^er on the left ot
one cf the shields io be a likeness of
Ceueral Moultrie, and the woman on
the right, some Revolutionary heroine
identified wi?h the history of the State
dering the Revolutionary period. I pre?
sume tfiere b? no trouble to get a good;
photograph of G-ueral Moultrie cop?e?
from Some portrait, in Charleston, and
I would be glad to have you suggest the
name cf the womau whose.facc shall be
given the female figure. The selection
of this person will be ccn?ued tos?ch ae
could claim the honor at? at tEe* sao??
time have left pictures of themselves
behind. Any seggestions that yoa may
make wi il be thankful ly received-.
However, there are three female figures
needed on the cost of arms, ?nd if the
pictures can be obta'ned I will use t&ose
whose history wouid warrant them hav?
