The report of thet/ongressional
committee appointed to investi

lion in South Carolina and Louis- j
hum report that the organized
democracy, in Loth States, in vio ;
lation of State laws, Ims subdued
the negro vote by intimidation,
in the former State without much
violence, in the latter with a
great deal. The inference from
the report is that in both of these
States the negro has to vote .just j

Washington, 1). C., February 25,

M) ieut space in the same col
I, ..is for a reply. 1 was the suf
,e,-rer from editorial unfairness
( <iuring the late campaign, but
the excuse of partisan policy will
not suffice in this case. As you
become a party to the attack,
your gentlemanly honor will net
refuse a defense. I had already
written a letter to the Ghronielc
and Constitutionalist, which I ex
peeled them to publish, and if
reached me to day. A. W. Reese,
acting under the direction of Sen
alor (Jordon (who made the first
move in the attack), charges
boldly that 1 -plead in piteously
pathetic terms for radical money'
to help my husband's election
last fall. This 1 firmly deny, and
I have the full, sufficient proof.
I never asked for one dollar of
radical money or any other mon
ey. No pecuniary aid in any
shape or form was asked for.
The falsehood stands revealed;
I lie evidence is complete.
Dr. Felton applied to Senator
Ferry for my letter, which was
handed to me to-day at the break
fast, table, in l he presence of lion.
W. F. Smith, Hon. M. A. (handler
and ex-Henator Norwood. My
husband asked me to read it aloud
which 1 did. You can refer to
them if you desire to do so. Mr.
Hubbelldid not deliver it to me
until au exact copy was made, so
that lhero should be no cry of
fraud. At my request, Mr. Ste
phens examined it critically, line
by line, and he says: “There is
not one word to sustain the ma
licious allegation; not one word
to contradict the letter in the
t'hroniele and Constitutionalist,'
which communication was writ
ten before Senator Ferry return
ed my letter. So ends the first
chapter in this exposure.
A. W. Reese charges that my
husband sent a messenger to Mr.
Gorham "to induce him to deny
its existence—-to give it up or
dostn>v it." This is as false as
the other story. Dr. Felton did
not suppose Mr. Gorham had it
in the lirst place. I was particu
larly anxious for its preservation
and was determined to have it if
possible.
If you desire it, I can send you
a copy of Mr. Gorham's certifi
cate, in which he states no inon
ey was sent to my husband or
his friends—no money was otter
ed, nor did any republican, indi
vidually nor as an organization,
ever furnish one dollar, at any
time or to any body, ato assist the
election of an independent can
didate in tiie seventh district.

Reese has made a mistake, thus
attacking General Toombs, Mr.
Stephens, l>r. Felton, and myself

Okuck ok Secretary or Senate /
Washington, Feb. 19, 1879. \
Hon. W. H. Felton, M. C.;
Sir—l am in receipt of yours of
yesterday’s date; asking me to
l state whether the Repuclican
! Executive Committee, of which I
am secretary, furnished pecunia
ry aid to yourself or friends last
i fall, and whether that Committee
| assisted with money or the prof
fer of money the Independent
movement in the 7th Georgia dis
trict last fall, or any time; and
; finally, whether I have any
knowledge that Republicans in
dividually or as an organization
furnished directly or indirectly
pecuniary aid at any time or any
1 place to further your election.
To all these inquires 1 reply in
the negative. I know of no pe
j cuuiary aid rendered you or in
i your behalf by any Republican.
i individually or collectivellv, at
any time.
Very respectfully yours,
Gi:o. C. Gorham.
human like Felton, whose
Democracy has been tried thor
oughly, does not submit to a
convention called as the chair
man told Senator Hill, to defeat
Felton, and Felton runs and is
endorsed by the people three
times, and not a Haw can be pick
ed in his Congressional career as
a Democrat , what can true demo
eracy find to object to ? Indepen
dent Democrats like he are bet
ter democrats than his oppnents,
says the voters. So of other In
dependents. If they succeed they
may be regarded as having been
nominated by the people.— ( V

Une of the neatest things re
gently said in Washington, where
neat things are neither said nor
done as often as could he wished,
was said by Secretary Kvarts at
a dinner the other night in reply
to somebody who happened to
have been reading one of the
regulation jokes about the Sec
retary's endless sentences and
gracefully repeated it. "Oh non
sense," said Mr. Kvarts, good
naturedly; ‘‘l don't object to that
sort of thing at all. People who
expect to injure me by calling,
attention to my long sentences
forget that the only persons real
lv opposed to long sentences in
this country are the criminal class
es w ho deserve them.'*-— World.
It is clear from her note that
Mrs Felton believes the insiuua
tion in A. W. K.’s letter that she
wrote to Senator Ferry asking
for Republican funds to help her
husdand in the congressional race
emanated from Gen. Gordon.
She fully explains this Ferry doc
ument. We have seen sufficient
•f her productions to know Mrs.
F, is a lady of rare gifts and bril
liant accomplishments. who
knows how to appreciate friends
and reward enemies. Eight or
wrong, she evinces the devotion
and pluck of a true wife and is
w illing to battle for her husband
w ten lie is attacked through her.
Her thrusts are those of the indig
nant woman, who employs the
same channel to vindicate herself
and husband as was employed a
gainst thlnn.— Eng-Sun.
An Englishman writes to the
London Standard a mournful let
ter upon the invasion of the Brit
ish markets by American manu
facturere. He found in his trav
els that American calicoes and
cotton had superceded the same
style of English good- on the
eoutiuent. ('oniing home he
found his iron-monger selling A
mericau spades, saws, chisels,
hammers and axes, and other
dealers with stocks of American
leeks, bolts, stoves and lamps.
American leather is sent to En
gland to be made up into -hoes.
English carriages are built out of
materials which have crossed the:
Atlantic. Slates are now quarried

President WhHe on Caessrlsni-A
Cask in Point.
One of the most striking pas
sages in President White’s ad
dress at the Academy of Music
on Saturday was that in which lie
referred to impending socialistic
attacks upon order and the fabric
of government. “How shall this
be met ?’’ he said : “Think you
that you can meet it by force ?
How by force, where all is decid
ed by majorities ? Will you meet
it, by denunciation ? Hardly ; two
can play at that and while you
have the disadvantage of proper
ty to lie destroyed, your oppo
nents have the advantage of
torches with which to destroy it.
Will you meet it by revolution?
As Danton said, the revolution,
like Saturn, destroys its own off
spring. Will you meet it by Caes
arism ? The first thing that
Caesar always does is to distribute
bread and pageants to the mob,
and rob you to pay for them.

A Pungent Letter.
The Augusta Chronicle and
Constitutionalist , of Sunday,con
tains a letter from Mrs. Felton,
wife of lion. W. H. Felton, in re
ply to the insinuations of “A. W.
1t.," the Washington correspond
ent ®f the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, that she had applied
to the Republican Congressional
Committee for funds during her
husband's last campaign in the
Seventh district. Mrs. Felton
writes like a brave lady and de
voted wife and mother, and while
we may not like her husband's in
dependence, we cannot but ad
mire her pluck and devotion as it
wife. She handles “A. W. R.
with gloves off, and makes some
savage thrusts at Gen. Gordon,
which we presume will bring the
latter gentleman into the arena.
—Sumpter Republican.
A spirit of extreme opposition
lias been aroused among South
ern leaders at Washington and
elsewhere against Wimlom's
plan for colonizing a part of the
West with freedmen. The whites
don't want to lose the labor nor
the representation that their
present members secure.—Atlan

The Black Death!
A private letter from St.
Petersburg, dated Jan nary 27th
says;
’• I have a sad story lu tell.
You have prabably heard some
reports about the epidemic pre
vailing in Russia. It is a most
fearful disease, brought here by
the soldiers from the East. It has
spread in the southern provinces
of Russia at a rapid rate. Thou
sands upon thousands nave died
with it within the last live days.
The victims when taken live on
ly about two hours, and turn as
black, all over, as a negro. All
the physicians ordered to the
care of the sick have died within
twenty-four hours after their ar
rival. The corpses are burned,
and so are the houses in which
the people die. Whole towns
have been laid waste during the
last few days. The government
has placed a cordon of soldiers a
round the infected provinces, so
that the people cannot get out
and spread the disease. Any who
attempt to leave and break
through the cordon are -hot dead
on the spot.
I'he Springfield Republican is
exhorting the reformers not to
withdraw themselves from poli
tics. It says: “Against what
ever disadvantages the reform
element imi-t actively take the
field. It must criticise and edit
cate. It must not only protest
beforehand against bad nomina
tions. but bolt them if they are
made. It must develop a body of
public sentiment that cannot be
ignored or over ridden in 1880.
A year i- a short time to tlie-c
who drift with tlye title; it is a
long time to act Ac and ctmrage
ou* workers."
