My. Terms or no Peace.
That in Effect is What Till
man Tells the People.
Special to Toe State.
AUGUSTA, GA., Mardi 29.-What a
?trange contrast ! When I strolled
up to' Senator Tillman's new place at
Trenton to-day, from afar across the
peaceful fields, fresh with the mellow?
ness of the springtide, 1 saw the new
Senator standing out in the field un?
der the shade of a linen helmet,
wachiog the horses that not so long
ago drew the executive carriage,
pulling a big plow. He looked as if
the peace and unity and harmony
sentiment had touched his soul
After awhile I went up to his new
home with him and asked him for his
opinions, as the leader of the Reform
movement, on the action of the con?
vention of the Forty, and his views
as to the Constitutional convention
outlook.
The new Senator gave me the fol?
lowing, speaking with much delibera?
tion. What he had to*say will no!
doubt surprise some.
'.It appears to me that the action j
of the convention tends rather to ag?
gravate than sooth the situation. The
failure to adopt as a part of the
scheme of pacification the conditions
agreed upon by the conference held
on February 20, while accepting the j
idea of giving half to each factiou, j
opens the whole question anew, and j
will, I fear, destroy, in a large meas
ure, the chances of having the con- j
vention elected without a struggle j
between the factions. These coudi- j
tion8 are vital and I, for one, would 1
never consent to any such agreement,
and in speaking thus, I desire to re- j
call the fact which some people seem
to have forgotten or purposely mis?
construed, that I have never in this j
business assumed to dictate to the :
people or attempted to bind them io
any way. Many of my friends have
misunderstood my action, and others
have been quick to suggest treachery
to the people, in a willingness to !
make terms with the enemies of the
Reform movement which were unfair
and undemocratic, inasmuch as I
agreed to advocate au equal division
as far as possible, thereby surrender?
ing the right of the majority to j
govern. I have never and do not now
assume to do more than advise., and
that advice will be taken or cot as
the people see fit.
"I note that great stress was laid
on the fact of the Governor and my?
self agreeing to an equal division ;
and the proposal to substitute 'fair'
or 'equitable* for 'equal* was reject?
ed, mainly on that ground, and here?
in lies ihe very danger of which I
spoke in a previous interview of
'betrayal of the* Reform movement*
under the guise of pacification.* It is
well known that there are - men hold-j
ing positions in the Reform movement
who have been opposed to almost
everything we have accomplished or
uudertakeu. In fact they are Refot
mers only in name, and for us to
agree to an equal divisiou without
conditions, and then have some of ?
these men elected as Reformers, with :
the absolute certainty that they
would align themselves in the conven?
tion with the Antis would be to sur?
render the control ol the convention
before it is elected As a trusted
leader" of the Reform movement, I
could never consent to advocate any
scheme that would jeopardize the j
right to vote of the poor and illiter- j
, ate white meu who have so trusted i
me.
"These men were warned by the j
Conservatives who opposed the call- j
mg of the convention last November j
that if the convention was called
they would have voted their last
time, and now it is proposed to have j
a convention elected giving the Con- j
servatives half of the representation J
without conditions, thus making it :
possible to have the predictions j
fulfilled. The excuse is that we !
must have a Constitution which will ?
insure white supremacy without re- j
sort to fraud. I don't know that any ;
one proposes to incorporate a pro?
vision in the new Constitution which
will give us a fraudulent white
supremacy, but we can't lift our?
selves over the fence by our boot
straps, and we must have relief from
the incumbus of universal negro
suffrage. It is all very well for the
roily convention and the Conserva?
tives to subscribe unanimously to the
doctrine of white supremacy. A
simple educational and property
..qualification would solve the whole
v^xed question We would have
white supremacy , and we would also
have the supremacy of the old crowd
who have been out in the cold for
four years along willi it. The men
have been chastened by defeat, and
their restoration to power might w>t
produce any unpleasant revolutions
in existing condition, but ? will
never consent to put it iii their
power to disfranchise any white
man except for crime. I am ready
to stand by the agreement we have .
already made and- exert whatever in?
fluence I may possess in electing a
uon-partisan convention on that
basis. Thousands of Reformers are
dissatisfied with the idea (ii' equal
representation, although they are
willing to give proportionate repre?
sentation upon the basis of the
primary of 1892. It is perhaps as
good a time as any to state that as
practical men all the Reformers who .
attended the conference of thc 20th of.
February foresaw that this would be
the case, and we expressed the be?
lief that the Reformers would not
consent to do more than this. There
was no deception an either side in
that meeting, and we agreed to ad?
vocate equal division as individuals,
only after the *vital conditions of
which I have spoken were incorpo?
rated in the agreement
"I believe 90 per cent, of both
factions would be glad to have a
better stale of feeling and less strife
and bitterness, and when the election
comes off I believe that the
people will settle this whole business
in a way that will be satisfactory,
without giving any more weight
than is deserved to the actiou of the
Fortj7 Convention or of the previous
conference. When the time comes,
if it be necessary, I will stump the
State in advocacy of the scheme pro?
posed by the conference, but I will
fight the world, the flesh and the
devil rather than see a convention
elected which will fail to secure
white supremacy without detriment
to the poor men who have trusted
and followed me. I am not wedded
to the Mississippi plan, but if nothing
better offers, then those who are
opposed to it and threaten to appeal
to the negro may as well get ready."

final conference with ex-Governor
Northen about the location of hi-i
colony in Georgia. Mr. Fitzgerald,
through the American Tribune, pub?

paid-up membership in the colony
amounting to 14,000 heads of famili a
and comprehending about'40,000 peo?
ple, who are seeking location itt a mil?

Northen has been negotiating with
Mr. Fitzgerald, the head of the colony,
for several months, and he has fioe'ly
induced him to come to Georgia for a
personal inspection of the advantages
offered by this State The geotlemeo

southern part of the State, and Mr.
Fitzgerald will go to Indianapolis to?
morrow fully prepared to recommend
the settlement or his colony in Georgia.
It is understood that his recommenda?

The placing of bills against mem?

Special to The State,
i JOHNSTON, March 29 -Ex-Senator
I Butler passed through Columbia at
j noon to-day on his way from Wash
j ington to his home in Edgefield. I
! boarded the train at Columbia, when
j the Senator very kindly consented to
! give to the readers of The State his
? views on the action of the recent con?
vention of the Forty.
In reply to the question, "Do you
approve the action of the Forty con?
ference?" Gen Butler said:
"Yes. From what I have seen m
i the papers it is en the right line, and
I trust the plan will be carried out. i
The proposition submiUed some time
ago exacting pledges as a condition
precedent for going into the conven- j
tion was insulting to every free man,
and could not be tolerated for a mo
ment Of course every intelligent
man recognizes the importance of
white supremacy, but it must be
founded on justice to all. White
supremacy is one thing; King supre-1
macy is another. White supremacy
is better for the white man and better !
for the negro, but, as I have said, it J
must be founded on justice and fair- j
I ness to all "
j "Would you advise submitting the !
; new Constitution to the people ?"'
"Well, you know I am done with !
public life-or, to speak more accu-1
rately, public life is done with me. I
therefore speak only as a private
citizen. My opinion is that question !
should be left to the convention itself, j
The best men ought to be elected j
delegates and then left untrammeled
j and entirely free to do the very best
' possible for all the people It must
j not be forgotten that the organiza
j tion of a Constitutional Convention is
j the highest exercise of popular
j sovereignty, and should not be sec- ,
j tional, partisan or prejudiced, but j
' representative of all. It should be
confined to the enunciation of general \
principles of government, expressed j
in the briefest, simplest form possi- !
ble, and free from everything legis
latir?.
"As the convention will be a sover- j
eign body, direct from the people, it
will do what a majority may think
best.
"Yes, I think the Forty has done a
great service to the State, and I antic
ipate the happiest results from its ac?
tion. I was at its birth in Columbia
some months ago, but had some ap?
prehension then that its patriotic pur?
poses might be thwarted by extreme
men and demagogues. When I saw
the character of the men who were
getting together in the different coun?
ties. I felt much encouraged. It only
remains now to allow the people
themselves to settle the matter, free j
from bossism or dictation, and we
shall again have harmony and good
feeling among our people.'"
"Yes. My family will scarcely !
be able to get home before the mid
die of April. I have been busy i
j packing up and clearing off a vast |
j accumulation of letters and papers !
j and am not through yet, but I hope to j
: finish up before long and then take a :
: rest.'*
I "What are your plans for the fu
I ture ?"
i "They are not definitely settled. I;
j shall have to go to work at some- 1
j thing, and contemplate opening an ?
I office in Spartanburg, but I want to \
? rest awhile, and in the meantime will
I be governed by the wishes of my
? family "
"What will be the outcome of the
i recent complications with foreign
j powers-Spain, England and Ha
I waii ?"
"Oh, they will blow over. Tho
Secretary of State, Judge Gresham.
! is managing our end of the line with
very decided ability and tact, and the
questions in controversy may be safe
! ly left to Mr. Cleveland and himself
They have imparted to the negotia
tions a strong American spirit with- j
; out jingoism, and foreign govern?
ments have realized that this govern?
ment will deal honorably but firmly
with them, and with due regard to
tin; international rights and dignity
of each. I don't think, therefore,
there is any danger of trouble A
foreign war would not be unaccepta?
ble to a great many people in this
country, but, of course, one could
net be precipitated except upon just
cause.'7
"Have you any views you cart? to
express about the two great political
pu. ties?*'
"Not now. I will talk to you later
on that subject. Good-bye."

BLACKSBURG, March 29 -Wednes?
day the 27th, instant. Detective New?
bold and State Constables Foster and
Toland arrived in our town and at once
arrested Mac Byars for selling whiskey
in violation of the dispensary law. They
rheo, upon the authority of a telegraph?
ic order from Governor Evans, proceed?
ed to Byars' distillery, about three
miles from here and seized the plant
and all the whiskey on the survey.
They then went to Roland Love's
and McArtny's distilleries, a few miles
distant and took possession of every?
thing in sight. They there met Depu?
ty Collector Jenkins, who protested
against their seizing the distilleries.
He and Newbold bad a very angry
altercation, which was fioally settled
without bloodshed.
Coostable Newbold later informed
the Governor of the State of affairs and
yesterday afternoon he received a letter
from His Excellency directing bim to
release the stills and to retain posses?
sion of the whiskey. ?
All the distillers are under ?500
bonds and will be tried at the oext lerm
of court, which will be held at York
ville next week.
The Governor also directed that war?
rants be issued for the arrest of all dis?
tillers who are running their distille?
ries without permits from the State.
This will apply to United States Deputy
Collector Jenkins and Storekeeper and
Gauge Poole, who have beeo ordered
by Collector Townes to continue the j
work of distilling at Byars plant, and
to remove all State constables off the i
survey.
This is an apparent clash of author?
ity between the State and the United
States The result will be anxiously
awaited.- The State.

Tied Him up For Stealing.
A Negro Boy HuDg by his Bru
tal Foster-Father.
AUGUSTA, Ga., March 29.-A spe?
cial to the Chronicle from Gibson, Ga.,
says : A sensational criminal case has
just come to light in Glascock county.
Yesterday Willis Hash swore out a
warraot charging Adolph Cody, color?
ed, with murder.
At the preliminary trial the evideoce
showed that Cody had tried a rope
around the body and arms of an or?
phan boy who bad been given to bim
to raise, and tied the rone around toe
joist of the room, his feet being dr:-vn
above the floor at least three or four j
inches. Cody and his wife then left;
the boy in this position, and, locking j
the doors of the house, went off toi
visit a neighbor not faraway.
This was after dark A negro pass- j
ing the house heard the cries of the i
boy,, who was about eight years old, j
and on making inquiry as to the trouble j
the boy told him to come in and let him
down : that Cody had tied him -up with
ropes. The negro outside tried to go
to the rescue, but the doors and win- ;
dows were securely fastened, and he
could not enter. The boy begged for
help, but no relief came. The negro
outside went to the house where Cody
was and told him he had better go and
let the boy down. It was about an
hour after this that Cody and the negro 1
went to the house where the boy was,
and when they let him down they dis?
covered that he was dead.
This happened on February 21, this .
year. The boy was buried and Cody
remained in the community until he
was arrested yesterday The negro
who witnessed the whole transaction
has just given it out. The matter is
likely to lead to some very sensational
developments. Cody, in his statement,
said that he did no' intend to kill the
hoy, but simply tied bim up to punish
him for stealing.
The court committed Cody to jail to
await an investigation by the grand
jury at the August term of court.

There Will be no Fighting
in China.
LONDON*, .March 31.-A Tokio dis?
patch to the Central Xewp says that
at the first conference with the
.Japanese pieuipotentionaiies Li
Hung Chang asked that an armistice
be established. The Japanese, in
reply to this proposition, stated that
an armistice would be granted on the
following conditions: The occupation
by Japanese troops of Shin ilaKwan,
Ta Kua and Tien Tein, and Japanese
control of the Shan Ila Kwan and
Tien Tsin railways, also that the
forts, arms and ammunition at the
places mentioned be given into the
possession of the Japanese and that
war contributions necessary for such
occupation be paid by China.
Li Hung Chang asked for more
moderate conditions, but upon meet?
ing with a refusal, he proposed to
continue the negotiations without a
suspension of hostilities. Matters
had progressed thus far at the third
conference, when the assault upon
the ChiDese Viceroy occurred In
view of this untoward event, the Em?
peror of Japan ordered the pleni?
potentiary to consent to a temporary
armistice waiving all the above con?
ditions as follows:
The locality of the enforcement of
the armistice comprises Teng Tien,
Chi Hu Li and Shang Tung. The op?
posing armies are to maintain the
positions hitherto occupied aud are not
to advance beyond them. Neither I
government is precluded from mak- j
ing any new distribution and ar- j
rangement of troops not intended to j
augment the armies actually iu the j
field, but at sea transports conveying
troops or material contraband of war i
are subject to capture. The term of
the armistice is three weeks, and it
expires without notice midday on
April 20, providing the peace nego?
tiations are not broken off in the
meantime. The convention was
signed yesterday. Li Hung Chang
obtained the signatures of the
Japanese Plenipotentiaries and Count
Ito obtained the signature of Li Hung
Chang. The armistice does not apply
to places not specified in the conven?
tion.
American Washington.
It is i D te resting to watch the people
in the pararle before the windows. Io
the quieter residence avenues of the
north-western section one may see the
rich to better advantage, in far separ?
ated couples or io carriages, and one
may see the mansions and gardeus, and
the nurses, aod those toddlers who are
the luckiest children ia the Union; for
of all places Washington is the most
heavenlike for children. But in the
mixed throng on Pennsylvania Avenue
there is a chance to see the people of a
city so distinctively American as to
contain only 18,000 foreign-born men
and women. The Southerners attract
the eye first. Their soft hats and
Prince Albert coats betray ihem. The.
lawyer, the leader in the South, has set .
the fashion for all his people. So it j
comes that all Southern men dress like ;
lawyers-in sober black with long coat ?
tails. In their carriage ooe sees a
strange conflict of pride aud sioveali- :
ness-pride in the pose of the head, i
and indolence in their gait. Their !
women, petted to the spoiliog-poiut
wheo they are youog, are the lite of !
the Avenue, and of all Washington. .
To be typical they must be blondes,
and we see hundreds of pure bkmdes in
the parade. And they oiuet be merry
aod much in evidence, haviug never
been restrained. They are absolutely
queens at borne, and hesitate at noth
io g.. Literature, art, wit, vocalization,
dramatic entertainment, reform, eques?
trianism, leadership of fashion, social
activity-there is nothing into which :
they do not plunge; and they and their
peculiarties are all intensified in Wash?
ington. Their husbands and brothers !
look on io blind idolatry. For them?
selves the Southern men ask only to bo
considered orators; and that they ail
are. What should we do but tor the
Southerners in Washington-hut for
their spirited and pretty women espe?
cially? But. there is DO need 'o dis?
cuss doini; without this leaven in the
great lump Aud it i* fitting that
they should be most conspicuous there,
for Washington is a Southern city geo?
graphically. True, George Wasbiog
and his testy engineer, L'Enfant,
planned to have it grow to the east?
ward of the Capitol, on the high pla?
teau that was best suited tor a city's
site. And they intended the White
House to be a semi country-seat, apart
from the town. The Southerners were
it) control then, and where they thought
the city would come they laid nu; ave?
nues for their beloved States-Virginia
and Georgia and North and South Caro?
lina avenues Alas for t!>eir hopes !
tho greedy land-owners and specula?
tors held that, land too high, and we
built the city so that to-day the elegant
streets are the ones that bear the
names of the down-Eis? Yankee
States.
Next io order of notability in rho
parade are the Western folk-great :'i
numbers, tis befits the representatives of
nearly two third- of flu- Union.
There i- DO o:istaking theta, either,
their meo arc bearded, hor-eyea, in
tense beings, self-coo cen trated, a> you
can see in their every action and tn rve
rr.ent and conversation. Their women
include many ot the leaders <>t the
official and the social set>. and vet tak?
ing thom by and hu ge, as the sailor
phrase goes, the Western ?omeo are
the ones that come oftenest raw a,)d
ill at ease io the formal, ultra-cooveu
tiooal routine of the public aod social
life, where power and place are graded
in one set, and etiquette and eating
rule the other. The darkies are very
conspicuous by reason of their peculiar?
ities and their numbers. They divide
themselves into two bodies. < The ele
gaDt aod ambitious form one, aod the
lazy, happy, easy-going work-fclk aod
vagraots form the other. But the dar?
ky mob is most picturesque with its
red-waisted nurse-girls, i'a huge band
danna-crowned "mammies," its white
bearded, rheumatic old "uncles" io the
whitewashiog line, its ragtag ard bob?
tail loafers, out at elbew, toggle jointed,
loose all over, and content whenever
the sun shines on them.-From Our

It appears that in Japan one factor
entering into the problem of the choice
of a daughter-in-law is her skill in
raising silk worms. The thread spun
by the silk worm is said to be regular
and eveu io proportion as the ?rorm has
been regularly and carefully fed. The
prospective mother-in-law carefully and
minutely examines the evenness of the
silk thread in the material of the gar?

giving her assent to the betrothal.
George Washington's private secre?
tary, Isaac Andrews, lies buried just
east of the old Baptist Church in the
village of Du?dee, Yates Comity, New
York. His death occurred in 1829,
at the advanced age of ninety years.
For a great many years he was a promi?
nent man in that section, and was a
particular factor in the orgaoizatioo of
Yates County. At the beginning of
this century he surveyed the old and
new per-emption lines, upon which all
subsequent surveys have been made.
It is noteworthy that the ty pe of the

against the person, and io the far West
to geoeral lawlessness. It would be
interesting to koow the "percentaeS of
