In this list the Radicals are given the pre-
ponderance of doubtful States; for they hold
Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and
Te-cs hy very uncertain tenure, while the
doubtful democratic States are OF much
less Importance, comprising, perhaps, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Arkansas and Nevada.
The Democratic party have gained New
Hampshire, Missouri and Indiana since the
last Presidential election, and are gradually
but surely coming to the front in all the
Southern States, because their adherents
there have almost monopoly OF the wealth
and intelligence. On the other hand, the
Republicans have not gained solitary State
since 1868, and il they lose either Pennsyl-
vania or Ohio, they must take permanent
back-seat.
This sort OF talk, and the fact that the
Commercial comes out strongly for Harlan,
of Kentucky, as the Republican candidate,
indicate that the West is getting tired OF the
monarch OF Lois Branch.

How tho Money Goes :

we carry comes to US at least once q year. The
announcement OF Mr.. Boutwell, puts the fg.
ures for the last fiscal year at 1888, ,323 $40 re.
ceived from Federal taxes upon the people.
Adding other exactions OF the General Gov
ernmenS, the amount will easily reach $780,
100000, which is the pleasant little sum OF
more than a million day, Sundays included.
This sort OF thing has now been going on for
Six years since the close of the war, during
(which time the country has contributed at

MY Do1y!

We find the following paragraph in the
last issue OF the Barnwell Sentinel:
"We can very well understand how the Re
publican can compliment The NEWS ior It's
brains in not seeing the thing (the Columbia
Conference) In the same light as the Sentinel.
It may be damaging to the party whom the Re
publican, Mr.. Greeley and Major Delaney de-
nounce In this State"
The Sentinel, it will be seen, does not
allow it's own infallibility to be called in
question. Orthodoxy, it says, is my dozy-
heterodoxy is another mans doxy. The
CHARLESTON News differs from the Sentinel;
therefore, it is giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. This dogmatism is not argument;
but it will give the people foretaste OF what
the opponents Of Conference may reasona-
bly, expect in November.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1871-08-28

accounted for, raising the amount of money
passing through the hands Of the Government
in six years to $1,000, 100000. AS Mr.. Bout
wells great expectations are founded mainly
upon his reduction of the public debt, it is
only fair to compare the amount he has re-
ceiyed with the extent Of his performances in
that direction. With three thousand millions
taken from the people, he has reduced the
debt by only two hundred and eighty.four mil
liens. Where has the other s2,7l6,O0O,O0
gone Extravaganza, corruption and an army
of of1ce-holders have eaten it up, and left this
paltry showing for the financial secretary.

A nephew of the deceased testified that he
thought Colburn had visited the house only
about twice year, and he could not say that
his visits were Objectionable to Bufenburg.
Another witness said that Mrs. Bufenburg had
told her that Colburn had come to see her
twice, under the impression that she was But
enburg's daughter. On the cross-examina-
ton the witness said that Mr.. and Mrs. Bufen-
burg seemed to live very happily together,
and she never saw anything to disturb her
confidence in Mrs. Bufenburg. Two or three
livery stable men of London were examined
as to the frequency of Colburn's visits to Mrs.
Bufenburg during the lie OF her first husband,
but they did not establish more than two or
three visits. So far the defence is having de-
cidedly the best of the trial.

Too Much Conference !!

The Camden Journal is t'for Conference,
"and early organization, not agitation. u
In the opinion. OF our contemporary, there
fore, the Conference proposed by the Barn.
well Sentinel will be the beginning OF such
organization as may be required for the
canvass OF 1872.
We are convinced that no organization
worthy OF the name can be had before next
spring, or summer. There might be club
here or there, but it is not feasible to enlist
the active sympathies Of the people, at this
time, in contest which will not take place
for year or more. Overhaste, in these
matters, is as fatal as blind postponement
OF the work until the very last minute. But
there is stronger objection. Organization
must be preceded by the adoption OF dis
tinetive name and distinctive platform. Po-
litical clubs must know what to call them
selves, and their members naturally demand
an objective point, or guiding principle
And we hold that only body OF delegates
deliberately chosen by the people, for the
purpose, have any right to determine ques-
tions 80 momentous. Emergencies may
arise, as in 1870, which warrant Confer
e1ce, but in ordinary seasons it is best that
political action should spring from the root
OF authority, which is the people. Any So
called Conference held without an impera-
tive necessity might expect, therefore, to be
popularly regarded with doubt or distrust.
One point in the Journals article we fear
that We do not understand Alright. 1t
speaks OF the proposed Conference as an
assemblage representing nobody, respon-
"sible to nobody, and binding nobody"
We cannot concesue OF three more stringent
reasons achy the Conference project should
be abandoned. And yet this is hardly what
the Journal desires
