That CONFIDENTIAL Circular.

The Confidential Circular has been con-
flded to the care OF Attorney General Cham
berlain, that it may be put in the hands OF g
detective who will thoroughly sift the whole
matter. This will amount to nothing.
Thieves are not set to catch thieves in these
DAYS. What we wanted to see was, q
thorough and searching investigation by
aissnterestea persons, not q sham hunt Ivy
one of the paid agents OF the Scott Ring.
What detective, controlled by Governor Sec tt
and SIr. Chamberlain, will venture to un-
earth any fact which might be damaging to
his employers? What State detective will
dare assert that the Circular is a genuine
document, however unimpeachable the evi-
dence of its truth? A detective will take
charge Of the papers, the public will be re-
quested to suspend its opinion, and there, as
far as the Ring is concerned, will end the
famous search for the villains IMPLICATED
by the Confidential Circular. This ia a very
comfortable way of covering up an uslv
piece Of business.

Move Quickly.

In the city We can ensure fair eiectlon'
whether the Scott Radicals like it or.not'
under the provisions Of the filth ana slAtn
sections of the act Of Congress to amend the
naturalization law, approved by the Presi-
dent, July IA, 1870.
SECTION 5. And be it further enacted, That
in any CITY having upwards Of twenty tnous-
and Inhabitants, it shall be the outy oi 'ne
Judge of the Circuit Court OF the United ota1es'
for the circuit wherein said city shall be, upon
tbe application of two citizens, to appoint ID
writing for each election district or voting pre-
cipct in said city, and to change or renew sa'u
appointment as occasion may require, from
time 10 tim., two citizens, resident OF tne oi''
trict or precinct, one from each pollticai party
who. when so d. tsignased shall be, ana are
hereby authorized, to attend at all times anu
all places fixed for the registration OF VoSefs'
who. being registered, would be entitled 10
vote for representative IN Congress. ana a' oil
times and places for holding elections cr rep
resentatiyes in Congress, and for counting tne
VOTES cast at said elections, and to chauense
any name proposed to be registered anu any

deputies as may be necessary to preserve order
at any, election at which representatives in
Congress are to be chosen; and said deputies
are hereby authorized to preserve order at
such elections and to arrest for any offence or
breach of the peace, committed in their view.
These important provisions have been
brought to the attention Of the County Ex-
ecutiye Committee of the Reform party, and
we trust that they will, with or without the
cooperation of the other side, make the
necessary application to Judge Bond with
out delay. There is no time to be lost aud
q Joint application, il it can be had, will
surely receive prompt attention.

ON ernadtion against the Prusslans, in viola

sib,e TO identify them, and as the marshals
raf,sed to allow the steamer to depart until
they had been secured, the captain confessed
that there were eighty-six men in the steerage
whose passage had not been paid, and who, it
was supposed, had been sent on board by the
French Consul. These men were Immediately
ordered on shore, but as the marshals could
not identify them as the persons against whom
the warrants had been issued, they were allow

by their friends, loudly lamenting thaI
they had not been permitted to pursue their
voyage. The information on which the war
rants were issued was furnished BY Johannes
Rosine, Consul-General of the North German
Confederation, who made an affidavit that
large force, intended to swell the ranks of the
French army, had secured passage on tie

700 passengers, many of them wealthy and
respectable citizens, and some of them me

MIR. Ransier and tho Proposed Election
Committees.

We have forwarded to its destination
letter from Mr.. A. J. Ransier, the Chairman
of the Executive Committee of the Republi-
can party to Major Seibels, the Secretary OF
the Executive Committee of the Reform
party, asserting to our proposition that a
Joint committee Of citizens be appointed by
the opposing parties for every polling pre-
cinct, which committee shall watch the bal
lot boxes from the time Of opening the polls
until the ballots are finally counted by the
Commissioners of Elections. The appoint
ment of this committee, although unofficial
in its character, will, it is hoped calm the
fears OF both Radicals and Reformers, and
satisfy them that the vote is fairly poled and
fairly canvassed.
As soon as the reply of the representatives
of the Reform party is received, it will be
printed with Mr.. Ransier's letter.

Martial Law.

Chief Constable Hubbard laid bare the
plan OF the Radical campaign when he
blurted out the threat that martial Law
might be declared inNewberry and Laurens,
and that, if 80, s'things would be worse
''than when Sherman passed through" AL
that Governor Scott wants is decent pre-
text, and at any moment we may witness in
South Carolina repetition of the orgies
which have made Kirk and Holden Infamous.
The people are ready for the worst, nor do
| they underrate the monstrous power which
the Ring will possess if the act "to suppress
ssinsurrection and rebellion" be put in ope-
| ration.
That act authorizes the Governor to call
out the militia, whenever the laws OF the
State cannot be enforced by the ordinary
course of judicial proceedings. The Gov
ernor may suspend the wit OF hobeas corpus
in any case throughout the State, and may
take possession OF all the railroad and tele-
graph lines in the State. Besides this, he
may lin addition to the miliLia) "employ as
'many persons as he may deem necessary"
for the suppression OF insurrection and re-
bellion, and may 'organize and use them in
''such manner as be may judge best for the
':public welfare :"
With this ac! il operation, the militia in
the field the writ of ha5eas corpus suspended,
and the railroads and telegraphs in the hands
of SCOTS lieutenauts, it would seem impos-
sible to hold an election whichever martial
law was declared. But, for once, United
States law protects the people from the vio-
lence of the unscrupulous knayes whom Con-
gress imposed upon the South. Governor
Scott may parade the militia as much as he
pleases, but the act OF Congress to enforce
theproyis!ons of the fifteenth Constitutional

Owning Up.

, The Chester Reporter says that Secretary
Cardozo, the arithmetic man OF the Ring, has
been trying to explain the ugly transactions
of the Land Commission. Touching upon
one transaction in Charleston County, where
by the State was swindled out Of 100000,
Cardozo said: ':Goee,nor Scott and nyse!f
ss,rere not there acAea the 6ot:ra did that !"
No denial is made of the fraud, and both
Scott and CarGozo are members Of the board.

A Poser.

We are informed that Mr.. Lewis A. COL

fort Land Commission, the price being
5000. When the transaction was completed
Judge Andrews Induced Mr.. Collier to sign
receipt for $1,000, and, in that way, was
able to draw from the State just twice as
much as the land actually cost.
Judge Andrews will doubtless he willing
to inform the public whether the facts are
