Both Scott and Parker are coming out TO.

abusive, dealing as extravagantly in ''the lie'
as he has hitherto done in State funds. The
sole effort of both is to impicate Cardozo in the

less denial. Scott affirms that so far as hesi-
tating to carry the State seal to New York. and
asking his advice about it, Cardozo slipped of
10 New York with the seal without his (Scott's)
knowledge, much less order. After arriving
In New York (says Scott) he was first Inform.
ed of the extraordinary conduct of the secre-
tary of State, and ''severely reprlmanded him
for It." Finally, Scott says to relieve Cardozo's
tears, he wrote him an order, dating 1t back
some time, requesting him to take the seal to
New York.
Cardozo Is ahead of them all here, both In
the opinion of the white people aad the ne
groes. His party utterly routed the Ring in
the late County Convention to send delegates
to the State Convention on the 2lst, and Car
dozo, his head clerk Jones, and two others OF
shIs friends, were elected delegates. Nash re-
celved only two votes, and was frequently
hIssed. Nearly every one OF the old leaders is
badly hacked; the negroes here are determin-
ed on change, apparently, at least. The
County Nominating Convention meets on Fri
day, the 10th. Preliminary meetings are
being held In all the wards and end frequently
In tremendous rows. The old rascals fight
hard to sustain their ground, but are very
generally defeated.
There is to be double hanging here on
Friday, two negroes. Bill Lucas and Ned Har-
rls, are to be executed-tbe former for the
murder of John Simpson, and the latter. for
the murder of Pat Murphy, an old Irlshman.
Sheriff Frazee, who is candidate for re.elec-
ton, Ia on thorns, and is making strenuous
effort to get the Governor to pardon or respite
the convicts. His friends tell him that If he
has to hang Lucas and Harris on Friday, the
negroes will be sure to all turn against him
and vote for his antagonist, Dent. Judge
Melton refuses to recommend any reprieve or
Communication of the sentence. The guilt of
the parties Is clear, and 1t Is hoped that Scott
may, for once, stand firm and allow justice TO
take its course.
The citizens here are responding literally TO
/. the call for funds to aid In the prosecution of
the Ring. They have no idea of tamely SUBJ
mitting TO be taxed to the amount of nearly
million of dollars to pay interest on bonds
which every honest Republican even now ad-
mits to be fraudulent. General Chestnut Will
be here tomorrow, and probably Judge Al
drich also, and 1t ls strongly hoped that opera
tious will be commenced In few daya. Will
Charleston not help? sQUI VIvE.s
