Birds OF q Feather.!..

After all said and done, theremay be solid
reasons why Mr.. Attorney General Cham
berlain should make friend of the noto-
rious Timothy Hurley. What is the:exaet
nature OF the tie between the polished
Chamberlain and the glib Hurley will not be
known just yet. While Hurley was buying
and selling votes, Mr. Chamberlain, a mem
Der of the Advisory Board, meekly folded
his arms and made no attempt to unearth
the rascalities of the Land Commission. The
one argued that il he did not bribe the mem-
bers of the Legislature somebody else would.
The other proclaims himself an honest man
because he, in person, did not steal the
mones OF the State. A fellow-feeling makes
them wondrous kind. In one respect how
ever, Tim Hurley is a worthier specimen OF
Radical humanity than his friend, the Attor-
ney-G General Of the State. Hurley never
pretends to be other than what be is; nor
does he, in higgling for votes, violate any
oath of Office. Mr.. Chamberlain, on the
other hand, swore ''to support, protect and
| ssdefend" the Constitution OF South Carolina,
and every day of his life that solemn pledge
is broken.
The 29th section of the State Constitution
is as follows:
There shall be one solicitor for each circuit,
,oho shall reside therein, TO be elected Dy Tue
uuali3ed electors of the circuit.
Mr.. Chamberlain is the solicitor for the
Charleston Circuit, and is the only person
who can properly perform its duties The
duties of the office he certainly has not per-
formed, and the public would like to know
whether he has drawn the pay But beyond
this there is the fact that Mr.. Chamberlain
does not reside acithm the circuit The con-
stitution, which he has sworn to support,
saws that he shall live within this circuit, and
in defiance OF the constitution, in violation
Of his oath, he continues to reside in Colum-
bia. We do not know whether be is paid for
doinguothing as circuit solicitor, but ne IS the
regularly elected solicitor, and does not obey,
for even day, that fundamental law which
he helped to frame and vowed to support.
Now, under the circumstances, is it sur
prising that Mr.. Circuit Solicitor and Attor-
ney-General Chamberlain should write in the
public prints of his friend Tim Hurley, in
stead of framing an indictment against that
slippery individual under the law for the
prevention OF bribery and corruption :?

Ito see that fair play Is had at the polls and In
the canrassing Of the votes" at the ensuing
election.
Though, as you suggest. the proposed ar
rangement might not be acceded to by the
managers and commissioners, yet the plan is
so Just, and so admirably calculated to allay
the apprehensions of the people, already 80
greatly excited, and to satisfy all of the fair
ness of election. thati is scarcely to be eX-
pected that any will refuse their accord with
the very commendable views contained in
your letter.
In the present temper Of the people, 1t is
not Only necessary that the elections should
be fairly conducted, but that they should know
that they had been so conducted.
We, therefore, willingly agree to Sour pro-
position, and will take the proper measures to
carry it Into operation on our part.
