TUIman's Memphis Speech.
The readers of tho Advkkviseu know
that tho Advkiwibkii rank? TiUman
very woll up in tho scale Intellectually,
and us a,'man of Bomo llterury accom
plishments. Wo havo read his occa
sional lottors, his hu"drodsof speeches
and thousands of interviews, with inter
est, if not with profit. Wo rccognizo
tho fact that he is a rich man; a lordly
man; a man of blooded cattlo upon n
thousand hills; that ho is of bluo blood
himsolf as ho boasts and has boasted,
descended in a straight lino from tho
Do Tilghmans that lauded at Balti
more and probably camo ovor with the
lord of that narao. Wo recognize that
TiUman is a master of tho art of
porsundlng people that they aro getting
along mighty sorrily in this world or
that they aro not getting along ntal,
and that tho world is imposing upon
them and robbing and plundering them
of thoir hourly, daily and yearly labor.
Wo also accord to him that ho has car
ried tho musses of our people with him
and shown llrst elass popular tulents,
not to use tho othor adjoctivo that us
ually goos with the Gracchi und othor
leaders of that ilk. All these tulonts
and accomplishments wo accord freely
and havo uniformly, and wo would con
cedo a groat deal more upon a pinch or
proper pressure. We have hud hopes
that ho would sober down, graduate
himself, descend into somo show of
soundness and with practice mnke a
statosman and do some good work for
hliTowh reputation, his State and his
country. From his conceded talents
and given opportunities, these hopes
woro, we trust, not ill founded. But wo
now surrender; since that Memphis
al^occh all hopo is lost. He should have
beo'n*4*?hainod, liko Prometheus, to a
rock and not allowed to go to Memphis
and mnko that speech. There is. noth
ing liko it existing in typo, unless the
Anatomy of Molnncholly of old Burton
can bo placod side by sldo with it. It
has every thing in it. Thoro is no end
-to It. All tho literature of tho past and
present lVci'Owded Into that two hours
speech as spoken, and ten hours speeoh
as printed "Ho had been to a groat
feast of authors and stolen tho scraps."
All South Carolinians were familiar
with thorn as hashed an** rohashed over
a ad ovor again. Now the tit-bits are
given to all tho world, make common
property, and there will bo nothing
now for Bonjamin to say when ho rises
to olectrify tho Semite, tho Congress,
tho nution. Thero Is no reason that he
should ovor havo halted in his remarks
?ho might have gone on for months,
yea, Alken yoars with thirteen months
In thorn. We regret that TiUman mado
_that speech. His chances for figuring
as a great figure, a coming man. und a
grout Carolinian, gone und utterly
dono for. Benjamin will find tho ut
terances of that speeoh rising up to
challenge him, as spooks in u hundred
frightful shapes, for the remainder of
his fitful career. It is u sad duty und
wo lamont that wo .must muke tho
dreary prophecy of tho evil days to
come. In after times, under his wido
spreading trees reclining, watching
tho clouds from his fragrant Havanna,
and counting tho long lines of Bour
bon cuttle winding their wuy gracefully
"ovor tho lou," as ho reflects upon his
downfall and "that that ruined me,"
mournfully, wretchedly must he pull
his hair and unuthemntise thnt mon
grel 8poocb to u more mongrel crowd
at Memphis.
Another Richmond.
"Thoro be six ltiehmonds In the
field;' I have slain live already." Hero
is another attach*upon tho Dispensary
law, again by Charleston Attorneys.
Murphy, Furrow and Legare attack the
law as repugnant to tho Act of Con
gress of 1800 forbidding and in re
straint of trusts and monopolies.
Soctlon 2 of tho Act provides that
"every person who shall monopolize, or
attempt to monopolize, or combine or
conspire with any other person or per
sons to monopolize any part of tho
trado or commorce among tho soveral
States or with foreign nations, shall
bo deemed guility of a misdemeanor,"
etc.
So, gontlo reader, and patient public,
you can sco whore "wo n-'o," with this
Pandoru box thrown wide open upon
tho country. Anothor array of nssist
ant pot States' counsel with fees the
very mention of which will mnko euch
separate, hair of tho tuxpayer stand on
end, "liko quills of tho fretful porcu
pine." Soo here, gentlemen of tho
Board of Control-! Why not ongago
?Bob Aldrltch, Ira B. Jones, George
Mowor, Gen. McCrady and some four
and twonty others "learned in tho
law," as standing assistants to light the
hat lie.i of tho Administration. "Kings
counsel," to vlt: Never squirm at the
apparent monopoly.

i f0 Whon four yours ago the grout ma
jority of whito people in South Caro
lina declared for govornmont owner
ship of railroads, telegraphs, tele
phones and tho subtrcusury und other
socialistic and agrarian doctrines, wo
urged the Democrats who were left in
* the minority to organize as such and
fight it out on honest democratic lines
as of old. Thoy proferrod to bo
coquetted with and to proservo u mu<
torly inactivity. Now, they boo where
aro at, probably. If thoro bo any
whoso oyosaro not permanently seeled,
let them road tho Irby Interview us

"A D.ig Full" is tho way tho Augusta
Chronlolo puts tho Kontucky business.
Hardin has been a good studont of the
South Carolina wuy. Ho can swear tho
moon is mado of greon chooso, and
thereby prove himsolf a Jefforsonian
democrat.
Among tho happy results of tho on
forcoment by armed band? of a luw
that docs not command tho respect of
the people or a largo element'of them
tho usual dispensary blood-lotting In
Spartanburg. Four State whiskoy
constables wont Into ambush on Thurs
day night on tho roadsldo eight miles
from the city of Spartanburg: Petti
grow, Drlco, Toland and Stevens. At
1 o'clock on Friday morning A. J. Fish
er und William Durham passed tho
road side in a wagon. Result: Flshor
and Durham wcro found shot to death;
their bodies mangled and torn into
tatters with bullets, tho top of Fisher's
bond bolng shot off. Two of the con
stables, Pottlgrow and Toland wcro
found to bo wounded with bullots, Pot
tlgrow reported seriously and Toland
slightly. The wagon had a supply of
whiskey. An Intelligent jury of in
quest over tho bodlesof the slain failed
to ascertain who did tho lino execution.
Probably nothing will como of it; "lot
her roll" Is tho motto of tho dispensary
advocates.
Fisher and Durham wcro prominent
moun ,ain men of North Carolina, largo
owners of property, and havo always
doalt in moonshino whiskey. But this
is scarcely a good reason for waylaying
and killing them liko mad dogs. By the
wuy bow tho constables wero hurt is u
mystery, ns tho urms of the dead men
wcro not discharged. Tho mules of the
wagon were shot also. Fisher was well
known in f.aureus. He lived at Try on,
just across tho Carolina line. He was
brave, generous and hospitable. Gover
nor Evans is getting a good report from
his constabulary. "Peace hath her
victories as well as war."
* * *
The mobbing of Col. J, .1. Dargan at
Kdgofiold was beneath contempt. This
is an ago of free speech and froo
thought. Besides it was cowardly, and
except tho men wero drunk there ean
be no apology. Col. Dargan is a gen
tleman. Wo are not with him in his
views on tho negro suffrago question,
not at all. Besides It is altogether in
discreet in Col. Dargan going ovor the
Stato lecturing las views in tho tcctu
of the public sentiment of tho Stato.
This does not exeuso the vulgarity of
the mob. Lot Col. Dargan talk: you
arc not bound to hoar him.

Upon the 80Called conservatives in
South Carolina devolves tho keeping
alivo tho sacred llame of-pure unadul
terated democracy. They may bo few
in the State?-certainly not overwhelm
ing in Laurons.

of honor." Let these be organized and

On Wednesday last the 20th inst. tho
Kentucky Democracy mot in Conven
tion to nominate a Governor, erect plat
form, and nominate other candidates.
Cleveland and Carlisle were endorsed
with a first-class democratic yell, tho
silver craze got its deatli knell and
sound money declared the money of
tho democratic party. Hardin a free
silver man was nominated for Governor
On account of great personal popularity
in South-Western Kentucky the
stronghold of the Kentucky democracy.

Samuel Johnson an Englishman who
had a contempt for the Scotch visited
In that country and twitted them upon
their oat-mcaldiet, saying: In England
our horses eat oats. The Scotsman
retorted: Yes and In England aro to
be found the best horses and in Scot
land tho best men. And now the
bluegrass menof Kentucky are pluming
themselves upon their men as well as
their horses. From tho way Carlisle
and Cleveland are sustained out there
there would seem to be something In
the diet.
* * *
These constables who h avo had to bow
down and bog the pardon of tho U.' S.
Court and go to jail are to be pitied.?
They aro tho poor men. They as
suredly acted upon the assurance of
porsons high in authority. The Gov
ernor could not have ad vised them?
he is a lawyer?tho Attorney General
nor his ablo assistant could have done
so, for thoy pass for lawyers.
Now who wore tho wise acres that
led theso poor constables, into this
fools paradise; assistant counsel?
