Compromise Suggested.
Newsaad Courier, Maj 1st.
Ex-Goveraer Chamberlain, Receiver
of the South. Carolina Railway and of
the ?ree &s ^Railroad, yesterday in?
vited a- Reporter for The News aud
Courier itf'eall on bim for an interview.
- The reporter complied, and the Ex
^?Overnor made the following statement
for j&abiicatiou relative to the recent
Ssion of the Supreme Court of the
tited States in the habeas corpus tax
^ eases and pending contest between the
railroads and the State regarding taxes.
**'fbe opinion of the Supreme Court
in these cases is at once plain and em?
phatic A child can understand it.
Io point of style and form, a3 well as of
clearness and force of statement, if we
may trust the telegraphic report in The
News and Courier, it is much tlfe fioo:*t
opinion I have yet read of the Chief
?Justice, though possibly my vision is
colored. But it was a clear case from
the outset. Probably no lawyer in this
State, fit 10 be consulted, would have
advised that there was any hope that
apon habeas corpus the Court would in
these cases overrule the Circuit Court
here. Kui: the experiment bad to be
made, and the result is before us.
There is food for reflection in it, both
for the railroads and the State officers
who are coucerued with matters of
taxation, as weil as for citizens gener?
ally. It dispels the illusion for one
thing, that railroads are without any
protection as against State officers, or
as against States taxes believed to be un
equal, inequitable and unconstitu?
tional.
**0n the o?her hand, this decision
- asserts the dury of the railroads to pay
all legal taxes, and recognizes the rule
that taxes are a paramount lien on ali
taxable property-a lien which can only
be removed by payment. Under this
decision, which is final and irreversible?
as ?ell as irre?iewable, both the State
and the railroads are protected in all
their rights. He is a foolish man.be
fee politician, citizen, lawyer, receiver
or other railway or State tfF.cial, who
hopes or plans to prolong the contest
farther OD these lines. Congressional
or legislative relief or change of laws is
& more chimera, a straw at which none
bot a drowning man in his desperation
will catch* Now is the time for sober
men to stop aod consider.
*****
"Oo the other hand, the true inter- I
ests of the railroads demand peace and !
a settlement of difference with the tax?
ing powers. The cost of these suits is
heavy. None but lawyers profit by
them.
*****
.'Such being the situation, I say the
only sensible course is to settle differ?
ences here and now. It can be done,
if both sides will* admit indisputable
facts. If some one cr more representa?
tives of the State, and ons or cScre
representatives of the railroads, were
to sit down as business men and con?
fer over the problem, they could reach
an easy solution, aod one just to both
parties. ? am only an agent of the
Court, having no authority of my own,
bat I will guarantee to secure the most
cordial assent of the Court to any rea?
sonable efforts to bring about AD end
of this railroad 5g?t. We are all tired j
of it. Victory, on whichever side it j
falls, is too costly. I say to Governor j
Tilmsn and to Comptroller Ellerbe-Let j
ns make an effort to secure cur respec- j
live rights by negotiation. If we caa- j
not succeed, then we can fight. But !
we can succeed, if we really want to. i
The victory is today with tue railroads, j
bat I am none the less anxious to step I
the quarrel. My anxiety is ?L the inter?
est of the railroads, I am not afraid to
cry *peacer before the war begins or
goes further. I shall fight ail the
better for iz if we cannot have peace.
"I am not formally authorized to
speak for anybody but myself, but ?
will undertake to bring every railroad
now io litigation with the State into
sa t.greemont to negotiate or arbitrate
their differences, and to close this de?
structive warfare without further cost j
or delay, including the prompt pay?
ment of ail taxes fur the past or future
which may be judged or agreed to be !
just and right.7'
*****
Columbia Register, 2nd.
Governor Tillman when allied what
be thought of the proposition said : ;
*'The State will never arb: itate with
her taxpayers about the justness of her
taxes She certainly will not arbitrate
with a corpor&lien as agaiust the
individuals who may not have money
enough to carry on a litigation.
"This proposal is the quiescence of
insolence. The South Carolina Rail- \
road tiied to pay us in repudiated bonds
two or three years ago, and the L"gis- I
lature. after waitiug for a year, finally
consented to allow the road to pac its j
taxes without the penalty iastead of re?
voking ita chai ter.
.'We are neither defenseless nor out
of resources, *' continued Governor
Tillman, "and we will get :be taxes
sooner or later. We intend to cou- I
tinue the ?ght until we do get them. I
If the means used iu getting them .-hall j
damage the credit of the roads they '
will have themselves to blame and not :
ns. The next step iu the matter will be j
taken very *hort!y "
**As to the bluff and threats about j
the sheriffs we will see them our.
They will not suffer. The State will
pay the costs."
The Governor was asked about Sheriff i
Nance. ile said that Nance bad not i
stuck to the rack and would have to
bootle fur himself.
The Cyclone in Carolina.

BAMBEK?, May 8 - A cyclone
terrible m its consequences pas,-- ;
ed over Barnwell county to-?r -y and :
as far as can be learned, thc only place j
it touched was Springfield, a small
station on the Carolina Midland Rail?
road. So far only one man is reported
to have been killed, John W;i!is. Jim
Fulner, a negro, was thrown forty feer
against a tree and his back wa, broken ;
he will probably die.
The storm began about l*2:i>0 p. m.,
when a small dark cloud appeared in the
west, and io ten minutes a perfect gaie
was blowing, which increated in fury
