"UNCLE GEORGE" TILLMAN'S SPEECH AT RED BANK On the Occasion of the Laying of the Corner-Stoue of the State's Buby County. Below can bo found tho first installment of "Uncle George" Tillmau's speech on Township Government, which was delivered at lted Bunk, on the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone of tho State's baby county?Sulncla: Mr. Chairman and Fellow-Citizens oj Saluda: You have met today what ought to i i i i- i iiuvu uci'u nuu nuuureu years ago?10 lay tho eorner-stonoof a temple of jukticc, to administer the law among the neighboring pooplo. Not only ought this court house to have been erected j a century ago but it would have been erected at least 75 years cnlv for tho selfishness and arogaucc of Charleston. South Carolina was first settled on tho seo coast by Englishmen and French Huguenots, who uot only organized every department of tho State government but practically kept coutrol of that government down to 1805, when the civil war ended. Tho low country never would admit tho up country to its fair slinro of political power ami even at tho cessation of that sectional tyranny in 18(55, tho seven low country or parish counties which hail doiniuutcd the State up to that time possessed less than a third of either the urea, population or wealth of tho State. It would do no good on this occasion to go into details to show how and why and by what means Charleston oppressed the up country generally and this Saluda community in particular, by denying it the right of local self-government? to have a con it house of its own to administer thu laws aud a county icnresentation of its own in both branches of the State Legislatures to help make the laws. That would be nti unpleasant, useless and tedious task. Let it Miliice to say Charleston as the leader of the low country did do it and that Charleston is answering for it now has been answt ring for it some tituo and may continue having to answer a good while \et, as men ordinarily have good memories who suffer under grievous political wrongs such as the up# country endured from the low country for marly 200 years. However two wrong* never made a right and the up country should now forgive its ancient oppressor as forgiven* ss is a much bett r spirit to cultivate ilian revenge. Had the court boiisu Afcarc now building been erected t d^^^Ply do or 10 years ago, you voiiht^^^Wi- have a town here of two or three more thousand intelligent inhabitants, with good schools, prosperous churches, flourishing stores, thriving newspapers and two or three railroads?a town that would ditVuse knowledge, refinement and higher civili/.at on far and wide on every side of it; a town with beautiful villus and nice cottages perched on every hilltop, and all the laud for miles around cultivated like a garden and selling for $20 to S'10 an aero. When you rollout that you have not these things now and that you ought to have had theui, and would have had tt.oui a generation or more ago, but for Charii-stoe, no doubt it makes your devil rise; but when you further rotleot that all these good things mentioned ere still in store for von at an earlv day you should not forget that I'lme a' ::t-t -> t* all iluiigs vii."

"Tho^braveat of tho bravo," as Napoloou called hiui. Besides much interesting and instruo tivo mattor I read on this subject when a boy, I remcrnber hearing Judge A. P. Butlor just before his death say that his mother, Mr. Behethlcn Butler (herself a very remarkable woman) iirmly believed to tho last that Marshal Nev of France and Michael ltudolph of Saluda, with whom she was well acquainted were one and tho same man. Kv^^^jther people except you all strive i^^Biyertise and perpetuato tho fact ta^^ommunity was or is the birthplace of as many groat men as possible. George MeDnftle was born in Georgia ami camo to South Carolina when but a boy, and ever afterword resided and died hero. Having served in the meantime as a South Carolina Governor, Congressman and United States Senator, still when Georgia came to form a new couuty out of the territory embracing tho spot where McDullio was born sho named tho couuty for hin>. Many similar in&tauces could bo cited of the pride, jealousy and pertinacity with which other communities boast of the great men of their locality. 1 wish I coal.I dwell longer ou tho reminiscences of Saludn, in which tho couuty is rich, but I must close with trie remark that it is not a tradition, but a well-authenticated fact, tha^AJ^ most Sti'il combat on old Edg^JPMJ soilj during the revolutionary war was fonglv. within tho bouudaries of Saludn, on Cloud's meek, betweeu tho Butlers uud other Saluda Whigs on ouo side, aud "Bloody" Bill Cunningham aud his squadron ofjTories on the other. So much on laying the cornerstone of your court house. Now for tho spooch you invited mo to tuuko and left me to select the subject. My theme is TOWNSHIP CJOVEUNMENT. A township, of course, is a sub-division of a couuty, and several town ships constitute it county. Each town? tip ivt the North genernlly, nod in New England particularly, has a local government of its own?legislative, jnniciul ami executive?nil three of the departments of a regularly organized commonwealth?a little State as it were. This brings not only the benefits of local self-got eminent, but the power of it also home to every iudiwdunl iu the community. The citizen is consulted about his political rights; h does really govern himself with the lflp of h s next door neighbors, relatives and friends. Neither strangers 1 nor men who reside a long way off, with whom he has but a rare acquaintance or no a'q.taiutaneo at all, ruio over him While this is the case at | the North where township government prevails, how is it hero at the South w lie:e we h ive only couuty government?

Thero are forty-live Statos in tae Union, und twelve of thorn have never been houorod with, tho Presidency, the Vice-Presidency, a place iu the Cabinet or tho Speakership of tho Houso of Representatives. These twelvo States are, ten of them, Western commonwealths, some of which wore admitted to tho Union only iu recent years, narielv. fibilio. Montana. Nevada. North Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, South Dakota aud Utah. Two are Wetseru States longer iu tho Union, but not recognized in tho CabiceV, Kansas and California; and two are Eastern States, little Rhode Island in New England and Florida on tho Atlantic Gulf seaboard. Florida is nearly lifty times larger than Rhode Island. It has a population larger than Rhode Island by nearly 50,000. It has the samo electoral votes as Rhode Island, and up to a few years ago the suffrage wore moro general iu tho Peninsular Stato than in Rhode Island. In tho election of 1870, when both States were warmly contested (which they haven't been since), the total electoral vote of Florida was 50,000, while tho total electoral vote of Khodo Island Was only 25,000. Since that time, however, the property qualification, as n restriction upon voting, has been removed iu Rhode Island, and now tho two States are nearer together iu votiug population than they are in inhabitants. Though Rhode Island has never had a place iu tho Cabinet, it has twice had tho acting Vice Presidency ot tho United States through tho President pro tem. of tho Senate, William Bradford held this place in tho Filth Congress ami Henry 1>. Anthony in tho Fortv-tirst and Forty-second Congress. Florida, however, has been totally ignored by thestatesmen of both purties in this as in other particulars. Tho State has never been deemed worthy of any of tho political honors which have been strewn lavishly upon its more fortunate neighbors. South Carolina, a State about three-fifths as large, has furnished the government with one Vice-President, two Secretaries of State, two Secretaries of War, one Secretary of tho Navy, one Attorney-(leneral, two Supremo Court Judges, two Speakers of tho House of ticpresemau ves Rim nirco iremacnis of tlio United States Senate. In the distribution ol' party honors below tho grade of those of first importance 1 Florida has rarely been considered. Though it sent delegates to participate * in the last Republican national convention in 181)2, no electoral ticket was run by tho Republican party in Florida in the contest suc ceeding, and the Republicans of that State completely abandoned the field without nny pretonso of a coutest. Until 1703 Florida was one of tho dependencies of Spain, aud for the fifteen years succeeding it was uuder the jurisdiction of Kuglaud. Then in 1821 Spnin ceded it to the United States. It was organized as a territory in tho year following aud admitted into the Union as a State in 1815. Rut no resident of Florida was ever sent as representatives of tho American government either to Spain or to any other foreign I country of importance, aud tho statesmen of Florida when iu Washington are at all times glad to forego their I claims to higher office for a humble ] and some time uurcmunerative clerk [ ship.
