In
this message the Govci 1101 in.nl. a
bitter attach on Senator I 1 1 1 1 1 1.1 11 and
Captain William K (ionzalis, tdiior
of the Stale, and accused I ho senior
Senator of participating in a conspiracy
lo defeat the Governor's candidacy
for re-election.
The senior Senator's communica
tion is addressed to the General Assem
bly of South Carolina and bets out in
the opening paragraph:
"I hive just read Governor Blease's
message, sent to your honorable body
and have been informed that both
houses did me the justice to order
publication in its journal suspended
until my reply couid go along with it.
For this consideration , please accept
ray thanks.
"What Governor Blease's motives
were are very evident in the message.
Ho desires lo continue the bitterness
engendered last summer, and wishes
to be reenge. on me: but the primary
object he has in view is to keep the
minds ol li e people stirred up and not
to allow the water to clear sufficiently
to let them see what sort ol a man he
really is. Catiline among the Romans,
and Aaron liurr among the Americans,
iire the only other men I have ever
read of who wore equal to B least in
bamh'jo!ing the people, lie has per
suaded thousands of good South Caro
linains, honorable, clean, patrolic citi
zens, into belt' iug that he is their best
frieul and that T'llnian's mantle has
fall.-n on his shoulders, lie is a past
master in the arts o1 a demagogue, lie
knows full well that when the angry
passions of the masses are aro iseJ, they
lose their reason, lie desires lo come
to the Senate, as he boasted he would
do at Richmond, in December last, and
feels it obligatory on him to .aggravate
conditions in South Carolina as much
as possible. Whether this is the right
way to ehctioneer or not will be shown
in the result of the next Senatorial
primary. If the South Carolina news
papers do 1101 help him by abuse and
misrepresentation he will never get
here."
The Chicago University now wants to
know whether men can be happy alone.
The best answer is that very few of them
e-ver try it.

for seven years the firm remained at
this stand, enjoying a large patronage
and gaining for themselves an enviable
reputation among the people of this

touches to the building were atlded and
it was turned over to the owners. Im

to move their immense stock into their
new home and this has been in progress
for the past few days, being completed
yesterday.

and J. M. Mitchell & Company occupy
