The district in which WHITTEMoRE is can
dida,e tor reelection TO Congress is one Of the
wealthiest in South Carolina. At various times 1t
has been represented by one Of the HuGEns, by
RoBERr and JouS CAMPBELL, and Gen McousES.
Besides WmrTENoRE, Mr.. 7. c. nuSS, Of Mas
sachusetts, who resides in Horny district and has
been in the State about five years, is candidate.
and also RANET, colored man, formerly a
barber in Charleston, who possesses land in
Georgetown district anu was elected State SEN
ator from that region. Recently, while DuSN
was making a speech in Florence, one If WHITE
NoRE's runners purchased three gallons of
whiskey from A. W. LYoSs, for g., and
placed II, watered and free to be used
by everybody, outside the compass Of
DuSS's voice. DuSN's auditors were negroes,
who were quietly informed by the WnIrrENoRE
emissaries where they could get the evil
spirit, 10 which they sauntcred one after another,
until at last DuSE WAS left with less than dozen
hearers. The successful application Of this trick,
introduced into South Carolina by a reverend
native Of Massachusetts, who will probably be re-
elected TO Congress, will assuredly commend
him TO that body. There are also numerous
other commendable traits in his character, one Of
which he recently so clearly exhibited that he
was expelled from Congress on account Of it.
The statement which WHrrENoRE Is making all
over the First Congressional District Of South
Carolina, that Gen. LOGAN has written letter in
which he apologies for what he eharacteri1es as
too hasty conduct in Congress toward WHITE
MORE, would not be surprising, coming from him,
if IL was certain that II was not true.

to the scientific men of Calcutta. are sinking like

to some extent, dependent on the contributions Of

A bitter feeling of hostility is springing
up, we are informed, between the Irish and Ger
mans of the Seventeenth Ward, and some Ger
man landlords in that ward have united in an
agreement not to rent their houses to Irish
tenants. Should this state of things 60 on,
the workingmen of the ward will suffer from il.
large number Of trades unions are composed
almost exclusively of Irish and German mechan-
les. 1t is very difficult even now to make them
stand by each other in their strikes and various
combinations; but let the war now threatened
spread to any great extent, and they will take ad
vantage Of each others perplexities, and underbd
each other to their own injury. Those landlords
who are taking the lead in the present movement
are the men who will suffer least by it, Let the la
boring men remember this. Whether, moreover,
the recognition of their importance as voters
can be secured by the Germans through any
such extraordinary process as the one now pro-
posed, is more than doubtful 1t will only ex-
asperate the honest, fair minded lrishmen of New
York, WHO might otherwise Join the Germans in
their just demands.

AS Whittemore fell into disgrace

vanecd Radicals by crying out "rcb'
Ell! REBEL" at all those in his district
who presume to condemn him. He
is too much one Of their own kidney
to part with on SO short notice, and
in order to excuse the act of getting
him back the intelligent white voters
of his district are to be stigmatizcd
with the old epithets, long since worn
out in their service. OF course no
decent person would vote for man
again whom his own party in Con.
gress has declared unworthy to hold
seat. Does the cry of "rcbel''
against such persons qualify him any
better for au honor which they refuse
from sclf-respect to confer on him?

"D0wn with the Taxes

As a cheap bid for continual favors
and power most Of the radical press
and its partizan leaders are crying
down with tue taxes Talk is
cheap, therefore let US SEQ what they
are doing Of 4 practical character to
make that reduction probable.
A Radical congress has increased
the pay Of its own members over
sixty per cent. since that party came
into power. 1t has created swarms
Of Office holders hitherto unknown to
our laws who are paid out of tho
bard earned money Of tue telling nil

Its leaders in aud out of congress
have stoler. millions aud millions of
dollars either directly or through a
eorrlpt congressional policy all Of
which has to b. paid by taxes collect
ed FROM the honest industry of the
country. Coming into power in 1861
because ofthe alleged extravagnce Of
Buchanan's administration, it stands
convicted on the confession Of Dawes
and other republican congressman Of
having stolen more the first yc.r of
Lincoln's administration, than the
entire expenditures and thefts of Bu-
chanan's administration, a. corrupt
and extravagant as it is alleged to
have been. The administration of
Grant has been impaled by Dawes
for spending twenty eight millions
Of dollars year more than the ad-
ministration Of Andrew johnson. )"
Now will some Of our republican
contemporaries inform US by what pro.
cess they contemplate reducing the
taxes while the expenditures are in
creating instead Of diminishing? They
cannot and will not be reduced while
radisalism holds sway il: congress, for
that party is reckless, corrupt, and
extravagaut; and uses every opportu-
nifty to plumber the Treasury and OPP

ces of leading men in the government.
Congressman make business of traf-
ficing in appointments. Does the
fact that congressman has procured
the appointment Of man to any Of
tice from whom he has received mon
ey convict him of selling the ap
pointment? Did Grant receive mon
ey from A. T. Stewart? Did Grant
receive money from collector Grin
nell! Did Grant receive house
