LEGALITY was the Cause of his
cgi@as Overthrow.


Gov. Scott continues to ego back OF
his scallawag brethren to an alarming
extent. And now JOHN G. HARRIs-the
venerable Heck-the puffed-up and i'm
aginary astute e1pounder of the law and
dispenser of legal justice ~ in the Pleas
ant Lane vicinity, has been "laid on the
SHELF" and a gentleman, Mr.. PHIL. B.
WATERS, on the saluda side OF the DIS
trict, appointed in his place.
HARRIS says the Governor writes him
that "locality" is thecause OF his over
throw. Very probable.
The Governor is polite man, and care
full of the feelings Of his creatures But
these creatures may as well understand,
at first as at last, that the indefinite ana
ambipuous term "locality'' means in
Main English, '"Heck, you are not the
right man in the right place, and there
fore Won must yamose the rancho"

that no Democratic victory in the North
