Macl1ay and Clarke.

The disrraccful scenes in Charleston are
n fair commentary upon the blackguard
government inaugurated in the Palmetto
State. MACKAY is removed and CLARKE
appointed his successor as collector OF GUS
toms. MACKAY refuses to abdicate until
the 3lst, and CLARKE, attempting to take
possession, was forcibly elected by MAC
KAY's subordinates. CLARKE, procuring the
arrest of MAcKAY and subordinates, seizes
the opportunity while they are on trial to
take possession Of the office, and MACKAY
was thus oustcd.
At night the CLARKE party triumphantly
paradcd orih the national .tl0g and a band
of music, and repaired to their hero's
lodgings to screnadc him. This fired the
MACKAY party, who mustered in such force
and bore down with such impetuoslty upon
the CLARKE party that they were swept
from the street and their flag taken away
from them. There was a sharp struggle
for q time, in which some blood was split
and wool and drapcry were freely scattered
to the wind.
The victors repaired to the elected MAC
KAY and presented him with the flag: poor
consolation for the loss of Office to MAcKAY.
The strife in Charleston, it is said, is be-
tween the native Radical wing and that
which has been imported. The negroes are
said to favor the ''nativcs" and to make
loud complaints against the Administration
for turning out MACKAY.
There can he but little doubt that both
these parties arc very disreputablc and sor-
did. and it is lamcntablc that the Federal
Government has no better material for of
fees of dignity and trust. The scenes in
Charleston were disgraccful enough. The
Government should be admonishcd to use
its power to put an end to such disgraceful
strife; and the only way to do So to shake
off the unworthy creatures thrown to the
surface by the late civil CONFUSION, who
have been ever since the war pest alike
to society and the Government.

Governor Walker

still remains quietly at his native town,
Binehamton, New York, recruiting his
strength and avoiding excitement. 1t is
source of qualification to the people OF VIZ
ginia that in taking him up as their candi-
date for the highest Office in their gift they
have hit upon so prudent, sensible, and
proper, gentleman. He conducted the
campaign with remarkable Judgment and
forecast. After the battle was won he
showed still more clearly his sound discre-
ton and dignity Of character amidst the
exciting scenes of rejoicing, and especially
that grand ovation which was awarded him
in this city. That was enough to have turn
ed the head of almost any man. But on
that occasion he made his wisest speech.
Since then, in passing through the Federal
Capital and the great Gotham. in steering
his way through the dangers of nimble . in
reviewers" in avoiding unnecessary
committals to eager politicians, and steadily
maintaining proper reserve while mani
Testing an equally proper courtesy and AHA
bility, he has shown that he is rare man.
We could not have selected II better, as his
conduct thus far proves, and as We arc sure
his administration will attest.
Now, VIC gain q most excellent and sale
officer, and we prove our readiness to honor
merit no matter where it halls from. AT
this critical period of rcconstructing Virgil
MIA, when we are charged with inhospitality
to northern men, unwillingness to receive
the immigrant in liberal and civil man
ner, we prove the falseness of the charges
by electing northern man to be our Go
vernon. The whole proceeding is felictous,
and must exert the best influence in reno
wing prejudices and promoting national
harmony. Wctrust that Governor WALKER
will soon be in his Office and use his efforts
to facilitate the progress Of the excellent
tendencies Of the times.

there bccn no luminosity" there? These
are questions that arc worth being an
swcrcd. If there is no luminosity there we
have made n great error, and so has the
Government in maturing measures since
the war which could have been generated
save only in the hot-bcd Of luminosity. VI
the South the Star speaks truly. When it can
say the same of the North, and as we be-
lievc it may of the great majority OF the
people there, then indeed we shall have
peace. There all the poacer is monopllzed,
and the acts of Government might have
shown in 1865 az well as in 1869 that the
North was surrendering its "animosity."
General GRANT said the South was ready
in '65 for restoration to the Union. Had
Congress listened to him we should have
had peace and harmony for the last 1ouf
years instead of calumnics, rancors, ma
lignities, and punishments.
Let us hope that the days OF Jolly:
knavery, and bigotry, arc numbered ana
that we are to have, indeed, q restored
union, in which by-gones will be by-goncs,
and all the nation will practically and har-
moniously go to work to take care OF the
future of the country. What has happened
grew out of circumstances which were be-
yond the control of Government or people.
There ought to be wisdom enough to see
this there ought to be fairness enough to
acknowledge it there ought to be charity
enough to forgive if not to forget it.
Away, then, with all bad passions and
Misrepresentation Let us have peace.

to break mp the party organization for the
election. 1t was most important matter
a matter not to be kept in q pigeon hole,
not to be withheld from the people of VIrs
rinia, to ~hom it was 80 interesting, by
their ruler, to whom it was, in respect OF q
full. definite, and explicit administration
of his office, not less important. Ii there
was anything in the way of his commnni-
eating it to everybody, was there less oo-
struction-cven supposing it to have been
their duty-in the way of the Executive
Committee doing that thing
No: the committee preferred to take the
chances of prevailing upon General CANbf
to alter his opinion, or of inducing the 10
vernmcnt at Washington to instruct him not
10 exact the abominable oath, rather than
incur almost certain defeat by changing at
that late hour, nearly all the nominations
that had been made.
It is true General CANBY stated his
views and his purpose to one OF the editors
of the WELLS organ in this city lew days
only before the election-so much too late
to he considered reasonable notice that
the defenders of the General deem 1t essen
tial to claim that his earlier private
communications with the gentlemen al
luded to were such notice as should bcre-
rarded sufficient. If that was in any
sense a proper style of notice that, too
was too late, and there was no reasonable
way of getting over the untimely dlthculty
but that of postponing the election. And
even now such would be the unfalrness OF
holding this people down to conformity with
\ will or rule never made known to them
an assumption borne out by the facts-that
n new election would be the only just mode
of righting the wrong done. There can be
no earthly excuse for any step that Will re-
verse the will of the people fairly and over
whelmingly expressed at the polls.
Let us still hope, however, that General
CANDY will reverse his decision; for one
more clearly in error could hardly be made.

Always Blamed.

The southern people is the most broad,
deep, extensive, and huge scape-goat that
the world ever saw. But broad as the back
of this goat is, it is about covered with sins
it has not committed, and is quite incapa
bic of holding any more. No form of events,
no possible phase Of the " situation" fails
to suggest some accusation, some censure, to
add to the vast mountain that has been
piled upon the southern people. The latest
specimen of the ingenuity of our accusers
is the blame cast upon us here in
Virginia for not respecting an order
ophich acas neuer issued 81. e., not electing
men to the Legislature who could take the
iron-clad, when General CANDY never
issued an order informing the people, under
his authority, that he would not allow any
man to take seat in the Legislature who
could not take the iron-clad oath That is
quite up to anything yet invented in the
line of impudent and unjust accusation.
1t is charged that General CANDY pri-
vately informed some gentlemen of his in
tention, the Executive Committee of the
Conservatives among them, and that it was
their duty to have Informed everybody else.
Were they General CANBY's organs? Is it
the custom for the commander of the dis
trict to send out his commands in this way
through unofficial and private gentlemen
No man entrusted with the command of
Virginia has ever indicated his purposes in
this manner. and General CANDY is as me-
thodical and precise Us any of his predcces-
sors. There is more minutcncss and detail
about his orders than those of any of his
predecessors, and he is about the last of
them all who would be suspected of emitting
an important matter from general order.
The knowledge that General CANDY had
such purpose at al did not reach the ears
of anybody in the Conservative and True
Republican ranks until so late period that
it was idle to attempt to make new nomina
tons unless General CANDY postponed the
election. The most reasonable, and we con-
lecture the most charitable, construction to
be placed upon the conduct of the General
innot having previously announced, through
an official order from "these headuuar-
tiers" that he would require the test-oath
of Legislators is that he had not come to that
discrimination at an earlier day, and saw
himself theawkwardness of proclaiming it SO
near election-day, when there was no chance
