Was it Fight or Fun!

A FALSE REPORT.-The report cir
culated by several of our exchanges
that Judge Wright was assaulted at
Beaufort, we are reque sted bv that gen.
tleman to state. is wholly false. as no
assault or threatening of assault was
made. The Judge states further that
the whole report has been manufac-
tured out Of nothing, and probably ma,
liciously.-Collmbia Union.
The scuff1e between the we'll
known Bob Bythewood and J. j.
Wright, associate Justice Of the SUI
preme court, reported in the REPUBLI,
CAN two weeks ago, and denied in the
above paragraph, was town talk as a
great outrage for several days after its
occurrence. Judge Wright describes
it in Columbia as a friendly trial of
muscle between himself and our town
bravo. in which Justice was complete
ly triumphant. Bob describes 1t quite
differently. He says he wanted to take
the conceit out of the Judge, and that
at the close of the contest he was sit
ting serenely on the discomfitted judi
cial stomach.
At this point several of the byatand'
ers interfered and the Judge was liber-
ated from his uncomfortable position.
Our first report was from an eye-wit-
ness who had no idea there was any
fun in the affair. However, there is no
accounting for tastes.

COLUNBIA, July s.


Corbln's attack upon the State Oifci-
ais in his speech at Greenville was not
expected, and the only real point of
significance in it was that Chamberlain
was included in it. No one was more
surprised at it than the Attorney Gen
eral himself. lie has heretofore been
very tenderly dealt with by the Re-
formers and between him and Corbin
relations of personal friendship were
always maintained.
The significance OF the attack lies in
the fact that it dissipates about all Of
Chamberlain S strength as a candidate
for governor. As indicated in my let
ter last week, those who are afraid Of
bolt have looked upon him as can
didate who would possibly be accept
able to the Rei0rmers. / said then
that this was false hope. Corbin's
speech proves that was right. 1t is
evident that nothing but thorough
Reform ticket will re ceiye the support
of Sawyer, Colbin, TOmlinson, Orr and
others who are acting under the in
present State government in October.
1t is amusing TO see the fecb.e at
tempts of the prescribe d officials, 20 look
pleased while they kiss the rod which
smites them. Poor jokes on Greeley,
and confident assertions Of the strength
Of Grant can be heard from them in
public, but when gathered together in
the thick walled Office rooms at the
State house, their forced merriment
gives place to WRITINGS Of morlilica'
tiou and impOtent anger. If they are
defeated in October Greeley will get
many secret vote.
CHANGED HIS MIND AGAIN.
Secretary CardozO's mind may be
compared to the ''changeful glorics of
an April day" Last fall he went to
Washington determined 10 abandon
the beat and turmoil politics in
ring g-ridden State for the pleasant re-
tirement of a professors chair in the
Howard University. He changed his
mind, however, after the validating
bill had made every thing right again.
He then found it to be his duty to re-
turn and help overthrow corruption
and the corruptors. His usually
''childhke and bland countenance was
shadowed by fierce determination to
"go for t, ring-but what to Ego
for'' himself has since then occupied
all his thoughts. lie exhibits now
none of that righteous wrath" against
Parker and Nagle, so fervent of yore,
but will be glad of place on any tic

seem to leave but little chance for es-
cape. Corbin has got chance he has
longed for and he will Ego for' these
railroad Ku-Klux with the hottest kind
of a poker. John thinks if be was
only governor he could make things
smoother. He sometimes has strong
hopes, but generally he merely looks
and longs.
THE OPPOSITION.
The Liberal Republicans and Dem
ocrats are waiting hopefully and patti
emily for the Developments of the 10th
of July. There is general agree
ment that no State ticket will be nom
mated until after the action Of the Re-
publican convention. If there is a
bolt from that convention and good
ticket put in the field by the boltels a
Joint convention Of the supporters of
Greeley and Brown will be called which
will simply nominate electors and en-
dorse the best State ticket offered.
This is in accord with the determina-
ton of the Democrats to refrain from
embarrassing the reform party of the
Republicans.
ON THE WAR PATH.
Corbin was here few days ago, on
his way to Greenville where he was to
speak on the fourth inst. He flourish
ed fearful tomahawk, had his war
paint on and talked Of nothing less
than scalping Scott, Moses, Parker,
id on,ns genus. His present temper is
some confirmation of the assertion that
Grant is determined to aid in the over
throw of the ruling spirits of the Re-
publican party here. Should the Pres
ident really throw his influence with
the reform wing of the party there will
be a gene raj prayer from some now
very confident candidates, ''from
plague, pestilence and sudden death,
Good Lord deliver u.s."
UNCLE JOE CREWS ON THE RAMPAGE.
Kimpton advertises for sale the in
terest of Joe Crews III the Greenville
railroad. When the Greenvilie job
was first put up Joe was put down for
one share-a twelfth interest. He was
very glad to have share, but he had
no money. Kimpton loaned him SO
600 to pay his assessment. Joe got bis
share of the bonds which were divided
by the crowd-about 300 000 each,
and has since exhibited good deal of
indifference about paying Kimpton his
money. Magrath for the South Caro-
lima road bought out a majority OF
these spectators and now is fighting
the validity Of the bonds. Joe Crews
SdfS IDdI IL CSiio MO SSSSh AZ
will make such an expose of the trans
actions of the Grecnvllle ring as will
make all hands sorry. He can certain
ly prove that it was money raised by
pledgipg a million of State bonds that
bought the road in the first place.
Other nrerestlng particulars would see
the light if Uncle Joe should get right
mad. If he wants to make reputa-
ton which will assure his triumphant
election as Senator from Laurens, he
must open up this business and let US
get twist on Kimpton, who is the
main tempter Of our State officers and
the principal cause of all our woes.

OUR COLUMBIA LETTER.
COLUMBIA, S. c., July s.
THE POLITICIANS AT SEA.

No clue can be obtained here Of the
probable course Of politics from those
most interested ia the result of the
campaign. The candidates express
only hopes. Confidence is a scarce
article. Combinations are eagerly
wished for, but how to secure the full
flment of pledges is something yet to
be discovered.
The "carpet-bag" element is the
most discouraged. The natives or
"scalawagsn seem determined to rule
or ruin-perhaps it would be better to
say rule and ruin. At any rate, the
slaughter Of white and colored ''carpet-
baggers" is decided upon. Therefore
it is that the misdeeds Of the admins
tration are saddled upon Scott and
Parker, and the whole pack are yelling
at their heels. Moses, Tom Mackey
and even Judge Orr are industriously
sowing the seeds Of distrust of stran-
gers among the people. While this is
going on among the white leaders the
colored men are doing the same and
more on their side. I say more, be-
cause they 90 further. Trust none
but your own people, means with
them none but your own race. So that
afer getting rid of the pet-baggers
the scalawags will 60 next.
The next State convention viii be
the least under under control Of any
ever called. There are many plans
but no man has any confidence in be-
ing able to carry them out.
THE GovERNORsHIP.
All interest centers in the Govern
orship and Treasurership. These rep
resent power and money The men
who hold these offices control the par
ty. Moses has the field at present for
governor, but he will be weaker in the
convention than before the people. AS
sure as he is nominated there will be a
bolt. Orr is much more talked Of than
liked. Moses hates him and will pre-
vent his nomination. Orr is deter
mined to try for it. He has the assis-
tance just now Of Tom Mackey, who
has completely deserted Governor
Scott. He is engaged in asserting all
that he so ably denied when he was
writing Scott's message last fall.
There are many who believe that
Scott will have a good deal of influence
with the convention, and that he may
after all be the man. He, however,
asseverates his disgust with the cares
of office and the ingrattude of politi-
clans. He may well feel angry when he
reflects that his bitterest reyilers owe
what influence they have to him.
Chamberlain is sometimes talked of
as candidate likely to heal all dissen-
sions in our ranks, but while there is a
kindly feeling for him and great re-
spect for his abilities it is felt that he
has assented to the worst acts charged
upon the State government.
DR.. Neagle is quietly, slowly but
surely gaining strength for governor.
1t will be found that he is more formid-
able as the canvass progresses.
THE TREASURER.
Parker, Cardozo, and Noah are the
only announced candidates. OF the
first, il is unnecessary to enumerate
his claims upon the Office. He will en-.
ter upon the canvass with the prestige
of past successes and present occupan-
cy, and although he has many enemi' S

THE TREASURER.

Parker, Cardozo, and Noah are the
only announced candidates. OF the
first, il is unnecessary to enumerate
his claims upon the office. He will en-
ter upon the canvass with the prestige
of past successes and present occupan-
cy, and although he has many enemi, S
be ought to be able to make many
friends.
Cardozo is very lively. lie is striv-
ing to unite himself with q strong can
didate for governor. He bases his
strength upon his personal honesty and
his color. In the first, we hope he is
not singular, and the second is not de.
cided enough to carry him very far.
Some Of his opponents resent his claim
as a reformcr Of abuses. They assert
that his education and training pccu-
liarly unfit him for the Office. They
point out the utter failure which re-
suits from entrusting money matters to
ex clergymen; how perverbial they are
for ignorance Of finance and how obtuse
they are to the fact. While they ad
NIT that he is probably free from
knowingly participating in the in
crease Of the publ debt last year, they
show that the conversion bonds could
not have been issued without his seal.
If the Governor is condemned for sign
ing and Parker damned for issuing,
can Cardoz) be excused for sealing?
That he felt this culpabili;y is plain
from thu fact hat he left the State, re-
signed his place and said he never
would return. When, however, Par
ker and Scott had made all smooth for
him by the validating bill he returned
and commenced Office seeking anew.
Harry Noah, the urbane private sec
retary Of the Governor, goes in on his
shape. He links his fortunes pretty
closely with Frank Moses. lie has
made many friends among the fre-
quenters of the State House. He has
a ready smile, warm grasp and a
good story for the weary waiter upon
official taydiness. If he wins, he will
preside over an empty treasury with
so much suavity that hungry creditors
Will 60 away comforted if notified.
