him that he spent $50, eco to secure his
election. Governor Scott and the col
ored Congressman Elliot were prominent
as candidates for the Federal Senate OF
that State Patterson appeared upon
the scene and beat them on the first
ballot with cash. Elliot. seeing the
situation. played sharp trick on him by
persuaGing some OF his eolored brethren
in the Legislature TO accept bribe from
Patterson and then 10 turn State evi
dence 1t is ou this testimony that he
has been arrested. The result may be
that the Senate Will not admit him and

supported Patterson IN the South Caro-
ina Legislature and in return received
the support Of Senator Cameron for an
appointment as Minister to Russia,
Which he received from the President a
few days ago. If these things are so,
We hope that the President viii revoke

still warm He had left friend about
10 O'Clock to GO to his boarding place,
and it was probably on his way home
that he was precl ultated into the cellar
There was no light or sign OF warning AT
