was undoubtedly part of the State
funds, hc being treasurer at the time.
OF course, when the honest RepubI.
cans boltcd, and tho Democrats camo
to their assistance and put me through,
it left tho ring in tighter place than
ever. They had put up the money to
make good any deficit they had caused
before took possession. How they
carried this load during 1870 ! do not
know, but when Mackey was re-elect-
cd IN 1871 they were enabled TO tighten
up. The correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press alleges that there is in
the Treasury
tf.4'4f A PERSONAL CHECK l0ll
OF Mackey's for 100000 on the ALE.
ghcny National Bank, which is carried
rs cash, and is accepted as such by
Auditor General Hartranft every
month. i have reason to know that
the correspondent OF the Press at Har-
risburg has facilities OF obtaining ac-
curate information, and hence con-
clude that this story is true. Indeed,
] have no doubt that this check for
SlOO, 900 is part of the money that was
required to make up the $3.50, 900 they
wanted so badly from me-.
"How about this investigation Mack
ey is blowing so much about 7"
"That was very easily arranged. IL
was only for few days, and the Cam
erons and Mackey could very readily
raise the money to make everything
square for that investigation. ! have
no doubt it was done that way. But
just wait until the Republican candi-
dates are defeated this fall, and we get
an honest administration in power,
and Mr. Mackey will find that the
Camerons will not come to his asss-
tance when he needs them"

Liberal DoorRINE-Mr Tilden
said, a. the Democratic Convention at
Syracuse, on the lth instant: "The
antagonism which civil war has Gre
ated between the kindred population
of our country must be closed up now
and forever" That is the truth, stated
as plainly and barely as one needs
wish it, This is the keynote of tho
campaign, first started 10y Mr.. Gree
ley's admirable letter of acceptance
1t is "meat" equally for our Prcsiden-
tial and Gubernatorial elections.
Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, aud
Monroe, and their generation would
have said amen to theappeal at once.
Our own generation is more stifi-ncek-
ed but truth will como home TO them
when they got to understand it thor
oughly. And they will be rcadyto do
that before November.

Wmcn The Golden Age (RadioaD
says: Gen. Grants stable is the hand
soonest building in Washington. 1t
was built with money appropriated
for another purpose, and without OBJ
tanning consent from Congress or the
Committee on Public Buildings. Tho
General cared more for his Mares than
for his Members, and thoro was no ono
who had the courage to breathe even
a Nigh to his designs. Tho question
between Grant aud Greeley is whether
horsemanship is better than states
manshipas republication for the presi-
dcucy.

A Busr uP.--Last week an attempt
was made to organize n Radical Club
in Columbia, but the affair broke up
in confusion. The cause of this was
an attempt to christcn the organization
"Thc Grant, Wilson and Hmtranf
Club" A number of the most earnest
Grant men refused to train under the
banner Of tho gubornatorial candidate
of the Infamous Treasury Ring. Hart
ranft stock declined about twenty per
cent. in consequence OF this attempt
to lash honest Republicans into hia
support

Radicalism in South Carolina---A
Frightful State of Things.

Ourdespatches from Columbia, ,Sonth
Carolina, show that the State is in as
bad condition politically as it is
financially, if not in a worse. 1t has
been plundered in the most barefaced
way by the carpet-bag rascals and
their negro allies, and debt has been
piled up that siaggers the people by
its weight. There is nothing com
parable in the history of this county
to the fragrant robbery and abuse Of
power by the Radical authorities there.
And now, when the time had come
that the respectable portion of the
community hoped to find a remedy for
the evil through the regular Conven-
ton of the dominant party and a
change of rulers, the robbers have
overwhelmed the reformers. BY pis-
tolls, bribery and vociforous clamor
they nominated most unscrupuloua
batch OF plunderers for all the highest
offices in the State So outrageous
was tho conduct of the Convention
and such terrorism was exhibited that
the best men of the Radical Republi-
can party were glad TO escape from
the State House to save themselves
from serious personal injury Revol-
vers were drawn, chairs were raised
over the shoulders of members, ready
to strike, and bedlam seemed to be let
loose. Ii is really wonder there was
not general riot aud much 5loodshed.
James l.. Orr, United States Senator
Sawyer, District Attorney Corbin, and
others finally called a separate Con-
vention; But they represent only u
minority or faction Of the party. The
majority appear to 60 with the carpet
bag plunderers. This is the old story
of negro government History is re-
peated Whenever the negroes have
attained the ascendancy or the balance
~ pnwnr in any country ihara every
thing has gone to chaos and ruin. IL
was so in Hayti, in San Domingo, in
Venezuela, and in all other countries
where the blacks having political pow
er have out-numbered the whites, or
where n few knavish whites have used
the blacks to ride into power This
should be solemn lesson for us, but
it seems our politicians viii not heed
the teaching of history. Unless tho
Radical Republican party be split asun-
der and part of the negroes should
have the good sense to go with tho
Conservative and more respectable
portion in South Carolina, the State
must remain in most hopeless con-
dition.-Nep York Herald.

RATHER ScARED.-The Chicago
Tribune says "a Grant paper an
nounces that the leading spirits Of the
recent Soldiers and Sailors meeting
at Portland were, "those ba;tlc-scarred
horoes, General Benjamin f. Butler
and General Henry Wilson, who
showed how fields were won" We
wero aware that Butler got badly
SCARED at Big Bethel, Dutch Gap and
Fort Fisher, but where did Wilson
get his scarsY On what fields of bat
tie did he fash his maiden sword ?
We were aware that he got badly
SCARED In his recent tilt with the
Rev, Mr. Dennison on the Temper
ance question, and by Albert Pike in
the matter Of Know Nothingism; but
these conflicts took place after the
war OF tho Rebellion, VIII not somo

raised those battle scars,
