the vlllanous Radical crew who lord 1t over
the State. =
The more moderate members OF the Radi-
Ecal Party were outspoken in their denuncia-
ton of the Election Law, after the Elections
soere ooer, and, for wonder, they had
sufficient frmness and consistency to cause
to be introduced in the Senate, at the pres-
ent session, bill which remedies the gross
est defects of the Act OF March l, 1870.
This bill provides that at least one OF the
three Commissioners Of Elections for each
county, and at least one OF the three Mana
gers for each precinct, shall be chosen from
each political party; also, that, the ballot-
boxesshall be publicly opened and inspected,
and locked just before the opening OF the
polls; also, that the counting Of: the ballots
shall take place in public, and shall begin
Immediately after the closing OF the polls,
and that the result shall be at once declared.
These are the main changes Effected by tne
Senate bill which has passed that body ana
is now before the House. But the House
Committee of Privileges and Elections Will
not accept the bill as it stands. They re-
commend that the; section which requires
that the Commissioners and Managers OF
Elections be chosen from each political
party he stricken out. That is, they oo|ect
to the clause which enables the minority TO
watch tie majority. They are not Wiling
that one Conservative should sit by the sue
OF two Radicals. And why? Is it hoped
that united boards of Radical Commission
ers and Managers will fad means to defraud
the public in spite Of an inspection OF the
ballot-boxes, and OF an immediate count'
Surely, if it be intended to conduct the elec-
tions fairly, there can be no sound objection
to giving the minority a representation upon
the different boards. 1t may be said that
it will be hard to decide which are the par
ties entitled 10 representation, but there is
no force in the objection. For decade to
come, there will be only two political par
ties In South Carolina the Radical and the
Conservative, and il there we're three politi-
cal parties, organized and ready for action,
all OF them could have voice In the con-
duct OF the elections, If the House mean
fair-play, the bill will pass as it came from
the Senate.

The Election Laws.

We hope that the House OF Representa-
tiyes will reject the amendment proposed by
their Committee Of Privileges and Elections
to the Senate bill to amend the Election
Law Of March l,1s70.
The present Election Law is admitted
TO be shame and reproach to TIE South
Carolina Radicals. Their leaders either
condemn 1T boldly. or only defend it as
party necessity. Under that law, the Gov
ernor OF the State appoints the Commits
sioners of Elections, who, in turn, appoint
the Managers When the polls close, the
ballotsremain for three days In the custody OF
the Managers, who then make their returns
to the Commissioners, who, within ten days,
are required to make "such statements
"thereof as the nature Of the election shall
"reouire." at the elections Of 1870, Gov
ernor Scott, himself candidate for re-elec-
ton, appointed his ownr 'isans Is Com
missioners. These put. in as Managers
their own friends and connections. Near
relations OF candidates for Office and the
very candidates themselves, obtained in this
way entire control Of the. ballot-bo xes, and
held them in their keeping until the returns
could be cooked to the desired complexion.
IT, is not denied that gigantic frauds were
nracticed. Marked ballots which were put
into the boxes could not be found when the
ballots were finally exposed. Names were
stricken out, and the names Of other candi-
dates ware written in their stead. The pub
lie have not forgotten the slekening story
Of cheating and bare-faced fraud. Wives
voted for their husbands. Boys OF fifteen
voted in every county in the State. The
kuavishness at the polls was only exceeded
by the gross corruption in making up the
count. So glaring were the infrlngements
Of law that three Of the Radical Commits
sIouers OF Elections were tried in the United
States Court, and convicted OF tampering
with the ballots. And these men, be it un'
derstood, were not half 30 guilty as scores
who went scot-free. All this wrong-doing,
all this rascality, was for the sole benefit Of

Tho Young Men.

Both the Winnsboro' Neaos and the Colum-
bia Paen;r are exhorting the young men IN
the State to prepare themselves for nara
and vigorous work in the campaign pre-
cedne the fall elections. We have conn-
dence in the young men. They planned
the campaign in Charleston. and elected a
respectable and trustworthy Municipal Gov
ernment. And they can do as much in
other places, Nor is; the success which at
tends the efforts Of the young men in other
States, and which should crown their labors
| in South Carolina, the resultDf only -thsac-
tive energies OF youth. They win because
they have fewer prejudices than their seniors;
because their views are wider and more
liberal; because they are not bent on man
! aging things in. the ways which answered
we'll in the time Of the Ark, but which are
as much out Of place. now as cross-boWs and
rush-strewn floors; because they do not in
sist on getting in wagon when the express
train is passing their very doors; because,
| with all the patriotism and devotion OF their
sires and grandsires, they are hampered By
no damaging past, and have little to un-
learn. Far be 1t from US to suggest word
OF depreciation OF the great and good men
who directed the councils OF Old South
Carolina. They did noble service, and, IN
like circumstances, would be entitled to the
leading place in the public battle. But, as
the Phgnir would have said, before its edi;;
torial management. passed into new hands,
sold times are changed. old manners gone,
"A stranger fills the Sluart's throne"
Aud the people, the young and the old,
cannot afford to be recusants. They ac-
knowledge what is And they must go
further. They are required to use weapons
adapted to the material out OF whicf1as to
be fashioned new and creditable govern
ment for South Carolina. The venerable
fathers OF the Republic cannot, with stitten-
ed sinews and daccid muscles, WELD the
weapons OF to-day. They have done their
mart, and must be content to remain en-
shrined in the public temple-always hon.
ored and revered, but not expected to take
part in the homely contests Of every
day life. Upon the shoulders OF the
young the burden OF responsibility rests.
They must initiate systems as we'll as carry
them into effect. Had they taken the helm
four years ago, the State had now been
nearer port They did not do it because it
was desired to give the old pilots another
trial. Now is the opportunity OF the glow
ing, generous and unselhsh youth OF South
Carolina. They have right to be heard in
council, las they must do the work in the
field. Let it not be said that, In South Caro-
lima, any man who holds honest convictions
fears to express them because they are
new and strange! I'll & 81 Ia s@
The young men OF South Carolina can
rescue South Carolina from the depths into
which she has fallen. Even this coming
October they may drag the chariot from the
slough, and, two years hence, they shall
cleanse the mirs from the wheels, and purge
away the last foul smirches OF dishonesty
| and vice.
