Bribery" "

The Charleston Republican submits rather
gracefully to the defeat of last week, when its
party went down before the triumphant ban
ncrs of their opponents. But it cannot help
displaying its soro-headednoss, and we find. the
annexed paragraph in its roview of the elec-
ton:
We cannot 20 Into all the details of that
which led to our defeat. But OF course among
the causes should be set down the free use of
money by the Conservatives. It Is rumored
that even forty thousand dollars were sent them
from New York. This may or may not be true /;
We know not but Is Is beyond question that
thew engaged in bribery to an extent which
should be to them lasting disgrace. It is
propable that they bought at least ive hundred
of their votes and it is also firmly believed
that they voted several hundred from outside
the limits of the city.
As matter of course, the purely moral par
ty to which the Republican belongs never pur-
chased any votes, or engaged in this detestable
thing of bribery. Neither did the "decent and
respectable" members of that party in Charles
ton buy off Objectionable candidates before the
election, when to retain them foreboded certain
defeat. Such practices are not known in the
high and lofty patriotism of genuine kepuoll-
cans in South Carolina Money has never
carried any elections, either before the people
or in the Legislature, nor has it had anything
to do with the "wisc and benefcent" laws en-
acted by Radical Legislatures. We are not
going to deny that the Citizens party obtained
their recent victory in the manner charged by
the Republican, 1t may or may not be true
but all the world knows that the Radical lead
ers in South Carolina have always existed on
bribery and fattened on corruption in politics
Our IMPOVERISHED old State has been mado to
bleed at every pore, i'll consequence OF this ex-
cmplary habit of "thc thicving carpct-baggcrs,
as Horace Greeley insists upon styling these
gentry. Now, while condomning all such enor-
mites and kindred practices, we know that
there is such thing in morals as chickens
coming home to roost," and VIC insist that the
RcpubIcau and its party cannot complain, il
there are persons among their political oppo-
nents who are disposed to bring these imported
fowls to their political hen-roost. Indeed, it is
not surprising that such practices are rcsorted
to, and are excused on the ground of expedicn'
CIV, and so forth. Politicians are always preach
ing from the maxim, 'Learn from yours enc
mics" aud the Radicals must quietly grin and
endure it, should the most pernicous of their
practices be cmulatcd by any portion of their
political antagonists. 1t is much easier ioI
aou to !carn evil than good habits, and there

Good Haws from Chester.

The result of the election for two County
Commissioners, held in Chester fortnight ago,
is truly gratifying. Messrs. w. A. Peden and
w. r. Hardin were elected, by majority of
four hundred over the Radical ticket. The
ball is in motion that will sweep the State in
1872, if prudence and good management are
consulted The Chester Reporter, in speaking
of the election, says: "We have reason to con-
gratulate ourselves that the welfare of our
county is to be- entrusted to two such men.
They are gentlemen of high character and ac-
tive energy, and will, doubtless, soon bring
order out of the confusion into which the late
board of incompetents plunged our county

is really so little good and so much evil in the
Radical party of this State that we are aston
ished at the measurable integrity of any man
mixed with their dirty schemes Of plunder.-
Instead of prating about the bribery of others,
and the disgrace of the thing, let tho Republi-
can make some progress towards removing the
filth and garbage from the leadership of its own
party, and thus purify its own atmosphere
We admit that good and wise counsels have
emanatcd from that journal, which, if adopted
by its party, would bring about better condi-
ton of public affairs in this State. But, be-
cause the editor has written judiciously on the
subject, and has failed to accomplish the first
step towards reformation among his political
associates, is sufficient reason that the Repud-
lican, on the score of bribery, should observe
that silence which is golden 1t clings tena-
ciously to all association with the very men, as
political leaders, who introduced this base sys-
tenn of politics into our midst, and which has
permeated every nook and corner of this old
commonwealth. But, without this Infamous
system and its coadjutors, the Radical party
would not remain in power, and could not re-
tain its mastery over the poor, Ignorant Nc

Death of AM Estimable LADY,.

1t is our painful duty to announce the death
of Mrs. Martha Cater, the wife of DIR. A. 2.
Cater, of this town, and third daughter Of the
late E. B. Benson, Esq, of Pendleton. AL
though in feeble health for some time, Mrs.
Cater was not considered in a dangerous condi-
tion until two days before her death, which
occurred on Sunday night last, in the 52nd year
of her age. Truly, mother in Israel has fall
len! Self-sacrifcing in spirit, unselfshly de-
voted to the ties Of domestic life, her home was
the abode of tenderness, refinement and hos
pitality. Her benevolent disposition always
found delight in deeds of charity, and her un-
obtrusiye life was a series of kind actions and
gentle ministrations to the wants of her fellow
creatures.
"sostly Death touched her, and she passed away
Out of this bright world that she had made fair
The funeral obsequies took place at the Pres
byterian Church OH Tuesday morning, and
were conducted by Rev. d. E. Frierson, assisted
by Rev. ]. S. Murray. A large and attentive
congregation attested the deep sympathy of oul
community in this affective dispensation o.
Providence, and manifested the respect and
esteem of all classes for the lamented deceased
A wide circle of friends, relatives and acquain
tances will receive this sad intelligence with
sorrowful hearts, but "they mourn not as those
without hope" for she that was blessing tc

throng beyond the skies.

Death of a Charlestonian.

A young man named NJ. J. Murray, of Char

of consumption. He had been travelling in the
mountains for his health, and came here several
weeks ago. A fortnight before his death, it
was apparent that he was growing worse, and
his friends in Charleston were apprised of his
condition. His mother came to his bedside,

DEATH OF PnGBE CARY-A telegram from
New York announces the death of Miss Phoebe
Gary, younger sister of Alice Gary, whose death
occurred but Il few months ago. Phoebe was
the companion in literature as well as in life of
her gifted sister, and jointly with her brought
out in 1850 y volume Of poems. In 1854, She
produced 81 volume, entirely her own, entitled
''Pocnls and Parodics." She has contributed
frequently to periodicals, and has won an en-
viable reputation in literature for sweetness,
purity and strength of style and expression.
The sisters were natives Of Ohio, being born
near Cincinnati, Their early advantages wele
very poor and it may be said that they were
practically sclf-educated. Attaining woman
hood, they removed to New York, where they
permanently resided, supporting themselves
with their pen. At the time of her death,

TESTIMONY OF a DYING MAN.-Two ne
grocs Ned Myers and Lewis Coppedge, were
hung at Wadcsboro' on the 21st of last month
for the brutal murder of Mr.. J. W. Redfearn.
With the rope around his neck, just ready to
be launched into eternity, Lewis asked permis-
sirn to address some words of advice to his
colorcd friends who were present After max
king full confession of his guilt, and enjoin-
ING all his colored brothers to lead honest lives
and take warning from his sad fate, he went on
to say
"Ncver go where there is bad men, wicked
men. Look and see where it has brought ME.
There is a party they call the Union party
the Radical party. They never Go us good.
They do us harm. They make us do mean
things"
Well may the colored men all over the South
take this advice to themselves. The white
Radical Of the South is the same everywhere !;
as mean in South Carolina as in North Caro-
lima. They all teach their poor dcludcd tools
to do mean things.
