We wi*h all oar friends and readers a merry Christmas. Tillman will have no cause after the present Legislature adjourns to call it "driftwood '* The newly amended dispensary law is more villainous than the first one. If this sort of thing continues a man will be deprived of the right of breathing, save according to certain forms Salem County bas been killed by tbe Legislature, bot when tbe movement for smaller coontie?! ia taken up in earnest, this movement for the estab? lishment of Salem will be revived. Why don't tbe Legislature enact j two more laws aud quit : One making j it a banging crime to cai! a spy a t?py ; another requiring every man, upou pain of forfeiting bis right to vote, to subscribe to and pay for The Columbia Register. Gen. Hampton has replied to the j open letter of lion. W. D. Evans an'd I Dr." J. Wu! Stokes, addressed to bim a weet or two age Geo.

President Cleveland baa sent a mes? sage to Congress in relation to the Hawaiian quest iou. He gives Commis Bioner Bloom's report and proves that tbe Republican Administration was party to the conspiracy that overthrew j the government of the islands, and that the naval forces of the United Sta?es were osed in a hostile manner to accom? plish the overthrow. Be fixes the re? sponsibility where it will finally rest ; and be also settles the fact that some members of tbe Harribou Administration 1 were as great liars as rascals. Tbe time of retrenchment and reform j baa played out. It is now tbe thing to j say that the State is williog to pay a fair price for what she gets. So it is, but thia plea is the cloak that, within the next twelve months, will hide more rascality than waa dreamed of io the days of good stealing. The election of a State printer instead of giving thc work oat to the lowest bidder, shows io what direction tbe rascality tend*. The flory ereated io the engrossing depart? ment on Monday by a conservative's de m and for an investigation as to tbe nu ni ber of clerks employed is another sign of the times. The Attorney Gen? eral made a plausible excuse for - the large number of clerks employed, but everything goes to show (bat econ? omy is not one of the reforms that ac? companies Tilimaoistn. lt ought to be stated here that while Sooth Carolina went for Prohibition at tbe polls last year, and while the Dis? pensary bill was given out to be a meas? ure in the interest of Prohibition, it shoold be evident to all except the idiots and the wilfully ignorant, that Gov. Tillman and his faction are so . wedded to their dispensary scheme, that nothing will now turn them aside from compelling the people to have it. whether they wish it or not. Now. if our Prohibition friends are making a fight on principle, as they claim, and rf, as is true, the people voted for pro? hibition last year, the evideot remedy for the situation is to rally the Pro? hibition boats for the campaign of 1894, aod sweep Ti I i nt an is m and Dispen saryism from off 'he face of the Earth Bot the reply to this is going to be that Prohibition cap tuait while socalled "reform7* most bc attended to itnmedi ate ly. MEXICAN WAR VETERANS. Wc publish in ?bis issue, the pro? ceeding? of thc Mexican Veterans, for the re-organization of their Association of 1848 It is sad to think that so few of those who were first in the City of Montezuma, are living ; probably not more than 30 out of about 1,200 who left South Carolina in 1846 for the Mexican war. Time flies, and so the old veterans must fly off with it. Out of over 90 who left Sumter District, who went under Capt. Frank Sumter, Com? pany A., we believe there are only, three 4loo this fide of the river." the others resting in the shade beyond Col. Elan<iing, Col Boykin and Mr. S. Sum? ter still stay with u*. We do not know how the other companies report for ?aly here below ; but must think that they are also reduced to as few in num? ber The Association has in charge some relics which have made the word **Pal utetto,? synonymous with South Caro? lina, honored io all the States of the Union. Those relics should be pre? served, and we are glad to see that the survivors have taken actiou to do so. Few of the present generation know auything of the Jackson Vase. It is a Sarge foWd silver urn presented by the ladies of South Carolina to General An? drew Jackson, HS a token of his victory at New Orleans, in February, 1815. Old Hickory had "passed beyond' be? t?re the Mexican war began ; but by his will he b<queathed the vase to the bravest 111211 of the First Regiment which should go from South Carolina iott? a foreign war. Upon the return of the Palmetto Regiment from Mexico in 1848, his executers seut the vase with a certified copy of his will to the Gover- i nor of South Carolina, who called a :meeting of the regiment in Columbia. -At that meeting General Quitmao pre? sided, and it was determined that no one ?ould or would cfaim that he was the bravest,'-dud ii was then resolved that the Jackson Vase should be kept by au executive committee for the last survivor of the regiment. To the same coat mutee was committed the custody nf the two regimental flags-one presented by the ladies of Charleston, and the other by the Commanding General of the ^?xm^t in honor of ?he fact that the rj????etto '?gV gi ve?' by tt?e ladies of Charleston, was the first to bo unfurled no the walls and in the City of Mexico. We learn that the ladies1 flag, which was carried through all the battles, was lost io the Sherman march through the State, but that its spear-head was saved. The other flag was also saved, willi tin records of the regiment. These are in the keeping of the executive committee of which Col Blanking is chairman. We are also glad to see that the As? sociation will be perpetuated by the sous of members of the regiment becoming honorary members of the Association, on beimg designated to thc secretary. Mr"R S. Morrison, Columbia. S. C , to whom also all survivots should re? port themselves, giving iefters of Com? pany and their present post office Capt. Gaillard Exonerated In 1890. when CU|?t. P. P. G^ii'mrd turned, over tbe Treasurer's office of this county, and made the settlement with the Comptroller General, the set? tlement showed that he was short $917. Capt. GaiMard has always contended j that he was not short, but that the j figures were against him, and that he must have lost some of his vouchers or j something of the sort About a year ago Capt. Gaillard found several vouchers for which he had received no credit, and carried them to Columbia and presented them to the Comptroller General, who then said, after a careful examination, that they were all right, and that while he could not return the rooney, he would be j glad to recommend that it he refunded, and j he had no doubt the L?gislature would re? turn the SH me to him. j The papers were all prepared and with the ! vouchers'placed in the hands of the Speaker of the House, who referred the same to the j committee on claims of the House of Repre I sentativeg. j On Monday evening, the 11th inst, the matter was taken up by the committee on claims, when .Mr. James Norton, chief clerk of the Comptroller General, arose and said : "Mr. Chairman - 1 made the settlement with Capt. Gaillard for t*?e taxes of 1889-90. . and the figures showed ?hat Capt. Gaillard was short $917. I felt certain then t ti at there was some error somewhere, but as he could not show the vouchers, I reported the matter and Capt. Gaillard came up l'ke a man and ? paid the full amount of the shortage. I desire to say that during the whole course of the seulememi I was thoroughly impressed with the honesty ot Capt. Gaillard. Sometime this year he came into the Comptroller ; General's offibe and showed me the v.iucheis for which he now claims a credit. Upon n thorough examination 1 found them correct, and assured him that 1 would present the j matter to the General Assembly, as I thought be should be refunded the money. The amount he claims, $836, is correct, ami should be returned to him." Hon. Altmont Moses then said : f ''Mr. Chairman -1 rise to say that when I Capt. Gaillajd.was reported as short i.t was a j surprise to the whole county, for we of Sum ter county wi?o know Capt. Gaillard have I a?waya known him to he a man of honor and pitHegrity, and he has always claimed' that, i while the figures were against him, he felt certain he WHS not short MS treasurer of I county, ?nd when the vouchers, tor which to-night asks credit, were found tty him, WHS ft source of gratification to ?ll in t county, aod the people ut Suturer county a glad 'o have the money returned to him is Simply a matter of overpayment, and t Legislxture should ?ee that it 13 returned Hon. R I. Manning addressed the coi minee as follows : "Mr Chairman-I desi to endorse every word said by my colleagt; Mr. Moses. In Sumter county we have t highest opinion of Capt. Godard's honor HI have always felt thai this matter would cleared up at some day. No one there believ< that there was anything criminal in ?bisshoi age. but believed that some mistake exist somewhere, and that tbe monev Ind nev been improperly used^by him It is just MI proper that this mutter should be returned him " The committee reported favorably on t claim, and recommended that the mont ne returned to Capt Gaillard, which the is not the slightest doubt will be done by t Legislature at the preseut session MEXICAN" VET BEANS.
