Election or Judge.

Hon. r. B. Carpenter was, on yester-
day, elected by the General Assembly.
on the first ballot, Judge of the Fifth
Circuit of South Carolina, having re-
ceived seventy-two votes out Of the
whole number cast. The talents and
learning Of Judge Carpenter are admit
ted on all hands. We trust that as Judge
of the Fifth Circuit he will give as much
satisfaction as when he held the same
position in the First. There are. i'm
portant questions which will go before
his court.

Report OF THE BOARD OF INDIAN Con-
MIssIoNERs. The fourth annual report
Of the Board of Indian Commissioners
gives an encouraging account of the past
year's operations in the work of oiyiliz-
ing the Indians. The board give full
credit to the several religious missionary
organizations with which it has been
working harmoniously. and show that
the Presbyterian, Methodist and Epis-
copal missions alone have admitted dur.
ing the past year more than 600 of the
Sioux, Chippewas and Ney Perces to
church membership, and concludes as
follows:
"The board are convinced that it is
the imperative duty Of the Government
to adhere to its treaty stipulations with
the civilized tribes Of the Indian Terri
tory. That they are progressing rapidly
in civilization is shown by official re-
cords. The Indian Territory, with q
smaller area thnn any of the Territories,
has population exceeding any, with
the exception of New Mexico and Utah,
and greater than the combined white
population of Montana, Idaho, Dakota,
Arizona and Wyoming. It has more
acres of land under, cultivation than any
other In the United States, and the
oonouH1 W SIhln, &C., ralSeu Is more
than six times greater than is raised in
either Utah, New Mexico or Colorado.
This effectually disposes of the state
ment that there is an unreasonable
amount Of land lying idle there as com
pared with other portions of the Uuited
States. Even if there we're, although
the board do not believe that the abort
|ginals should hold large tracts of waste
land to the exclusion of civilization,
simply because they were the first occn-
pants, all the land in the Indian Tori
tory Is secured to the Indians by treaty,
not aa gift, but in exchange for ample
consideration received by the United
States. For this reason, il for no other
no attempt should be made, directly or
Indirectly ito open it up for white settle
ment without having first obtained the
consent of tho civilized tribes. AS it is,
the unoccupied lands, if kept for Indians
to be transported. will release for settle.
ment more valuable lands in other parts
of the country. Tho board deems it
matter OF congratulaticn that the public
opinion of the country is 80 rapidly crys.
talizing into purposes of Justice and 6u,
manity."

DRINKING HOUSE SOCIAL EQUALITY. -
The violations Of the new District social
equality law of Washington, as applied
to restaurants aud hotels, have become
80 numerous that the courts have appa.
rently thought it wise to con nstrue the
meaning of the statute as literally as
possible. In recent case in the Crimi-
nal Court in that city, the Judge de-
clared that in order to make keeper of
restaurant liable under the statute it is
necessary to prove that the refusal to
wait on well.behaved person was on
account Of race. color, or previous con-
dition of servitude. In the course of
some further remarks he said that in
some States it was made misdemeanor
to sell liquor at all; but here it appeared
to be misdemeanor not to sell. So far
as the controversy has yet gone in the
courts it has not reached range above
the restaurants; it is therefore, to that
extent, only sort OF pot-house social
equality, which is kind of equality that,
II left alone to work out it's legitimate
results, will bring most contestants, white
or black, to'a Common level" without
the aid Of the law.

Plu1npinR and Conservation.


Plumpins and Conservation.
We have not many words to waste on
Hon. J. O. Hope, Senator from Lexing-
ton. We are averse to controversy. and
can afford to disregard his little person
alities. They do him little good, and us
less harm. He fnds himself aggrieved
.that We said he ''plumped Patterson on
both ballots" He objects to the word
'splump." as here used. In this. he may
be correct. We wrote hurriedly, and
the word came at our bidding to empha-
size the vote of Democrat or Conserv-
alive given to well-known corruption
ist. II is' OF less moment whether the
word was properly used or not, than
whether Mr.. Hope was justified, consi-
dering his antecedents, in casting his
vote as he did. Perhaps he was. It is
question between him. his conscience
and constituents. A second item in his
complaint is that he was singled out,
DO. He stood single and alone in the
Senate among the Conservative men,
bers in voting for Patterson. There was
no one else with him in the decd, and
no one, therefore, to share with him any
criticism upon it. We did not know
tin next day that some Conservative
members of the House had also voted
the same ticket. Otherwise, We should
certainly have put them in the same
category.
The, times demand toleration and for
bearance. We seek to fuse the varying
and conflicting interests of our State,
and to promote healthy and good un-
Outstanding in all classes. Once united
on a proper basis, We may be able to re-
dress the public wrongs. correct the pub
lie evils, get q good government. and
start the State once more on the road to
prosperity. We bear patiently With
ignorance, and seek to enlighten it. We
deal tenderly with prejudice and labor to
overcome it, or dull its point. But, ac-
cording to our view, corruption is an ele-
ment which must be eliminated. It.has
disgraoed and ruined the State. It
. walks abroad unabashed. and aims at alb
solute controlof the country. We need
expect no revival in character or prospe.
rity till it is effe6tually extirpated. It
willnot do to wink ut it and accept it as
inevitable to our condition. Good men
cannot tolerate it. Just men will always
scorn and contemn it.
We hailed Mr.. Hope as. among those
who would exert good influence in the
senate.s Weprono1nced him a-'stab doh
man." and confidently expected thath he
would bring the honor, the intelligence
and the calm judgment of other days,
and the influence of worthy associations
to bear upon the perplexing problems of
our present condition. The recollection
Of these disposes US to be moderate to-
ward him now. We are confirmed in
this purpose when we consider what his
feelings must be, when he reads in the
public journals of this and other States
the afhdavits and the comments upon
the candidate for whom he voted.

The LETTER OF GENERAL BANKS, giving his
reasons for supporting Mr.. Greeley against
General Grant in this election, is model of
its kind. He exhibits nothing of personal
bitterness or revenge in his letter but more
in sorrow than i'll anger against the admin
istration he declares his belief that ''the
unity of the masses OF the people of all par
ties, sections and races, in support of the
grand results of the war, lis now rendered to
us in good faith, in the nomination of Mr..
Greeley and that. for one, he General
Banks) cannot reject this offer He is grieved
to separate himself from old political friends
but his line of duty is SO clearly indicated
that he cannot disregard il. Thus free from
all personal grievances against General Grant,
we have, from the start, in General Banks,
a powerful ally OF the supporters of Mr..
Greeley.
