Charges Against Scott.

The charges have been openly and
rointedly made. and they are general
ly believed. There is no man in the
State who can read and write, who
does not know that Scott, AZ Governor,
has prostitutcd his position to specu.
Late in the bonds Of the State, aud in
the bills Of the Bank of the State
So much for the first charge. If our
knowledge is founded on mistaken
Interpretation of facts, We have
right to pronounce verdict of guilty,
or to demand denial of guilt with
the proof Of innocence.
With regard to the second and third
charges we scarcely think that he
will dare deny them, and if be does
his testimony should be very strong
to rebut the evidence against him in
possession of the people of this State
who have watched the course of the
man who said on ono occasion in
Charleston, 81 could have been a full
Major.General if had consented to
accepta negro division but 1 would
no, have anything to do with them"
Tue fifth charge is the frightful one
of being murderer. Proofs are fur.
nished by General Butler sufficient to
convict before jury Of twelve mon,
and yet Governor Scott folds his arms
and remains silent The people of
the State have right to demand, and
do demand of you, Robert X. Scott,
proof that you are innocent of tho
blood Of Randolph. If you can re-
iutc the testimony there is no man in
the State, whether your political enc.
my or friend, who will not rejoice to
know that among the many things in
your career Of which we have cause
to be ashamed, the crime of murder
cannot be numbered.
We have a right to ask if you, the
Governor Of this State, did so dishon-
or yourself, your family, and the poor
deludcd people who unfortunately
elected you to tho Office which you
now hold, as to have done tho octs
charged in tho fourth clauso of the
indictment. AS to women of ILL
fame.)
We have right to ask you why
Leslie, Land Commissioner, has never
been reported why, whom he threat
encd to send you to tho pcnitentiary,
ho was allowed to resign, and whether
it is or is not true that you paid him
$25, 900 for his resignation
The other charges even Scott him
self cannot deny. The facts in all,
except the last, are before tho ontirc
State, ard the last one rosts on the
authority of that pure and noble gen
tloman Wade Hampton, whose assor-
tion we are sure no honest man will
dare to contradict.
General Scott, are you guilty or not
guilty p Courier.

Who would have thought Of finding
tho following in the columns OF the New
York Irtjune? It's special Wasl,ing-
ton correspondent writes:
"lhe manner in which partisan tele.

further the personal design of unscrupu-
lous and ambitious men, was well shown
up in the developments brought out in
reference to the Washington Chronicle
during the progress Of the recent Georgia
investigation. The same gamo is now
going on in connection with tho inter-
nal affairs OF other Southern States. 1t
is believed that tho ensuing elections
in the South will result, in somo instan-
ccs, not perhaps in the defeat Of tho
Republican party, but IN defeat of Ger.
tain individuals who arc and have been
using that party rs n means TO their
own selfish advancement. F'oresecing
this the effort is to get up an excuse to
declare martial law, and local newspa.

to are tccming with accounts Of outra ges.
This IS particularly the case III North
Carolina, and no surprise need be felt at

served up in the Chronicle, for said
one OF North Carolina Senators, 'wc
must get these statements disseminated
through the North.'"
The "ccrlain individuals who are
charged with using the Republican party
at the South to advance their own selfish
ends aro Bullock, Of Georgia, md
Holden, Of North Carolina, and their
followers. The allusion 20 The WASH
ington Chronicle relates to the articles
published by Bullock in that mercenary
sheet, and for which he paid three prices
above the ordinary advertising terms.
Bnllock's account Of the condition OF
Georgia is we'll known TO be tissue Of

line read: ''We will harrow her grave
