The CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS lfss, IN & (
hands Of its present proprIetors, justly take
and maintained it's rank as q first class dali
paper. Its energy aud enterprise, IL giving :.
it's readers the latest and most reliable nows,
would OF themselves commend it to public
favor; but great as s it's enterprise, aud yalu-
able as it has been in giving items ID articles
OF interest to every class OF it- readers,
its ability in discussing the VARIOUS ques-
tions and subjects which the present
abnormal condition Of things gH, rise TO,
Fully realizing tho condition OF thes s.ate un-
der its present profigate rule, it hsh -osen dill
l9ent in searching out, and fearlesssin expos
ing and denouncng, corruption and dtprayity
in high places as we'll as LOW p!aces., The ira
dictionary respect and veneraton which once
surrounded the Governors chair constitute no
barrier to Its well directed attacks GU the dis
honesty and corruption which now degrade
and disgrace the Office; and its present oceu
pant is titly exposed iu all the derotmity Of his
mercennry nature to public gaze aud the de-
testation OF an outraged people. TNe wretched
minions OF his creation, who are wiling to bar
ter away their oaths for gam, and ready tor
paltry consideration to assist in rc-enacting
the bloody scenes which resulted in the mur-
der OF Mrs. Surratt, arc not too low to escape
tho sweep OF its LASH. Justly appreeiaiing the
true work and duty of tho press, il suffers no
villains OF high or low degree, who come under
it's notice, to escape exposure aud punishment.

The miserable policy Of conOilialion pursued

of the war up TO the present time towards the
vulgar set who have been placed to rle over our
