THE RING MASTER.

The central figure of the last week of
turmoil was John Paterson. Parker,
Scott, Nagle and Chamberlain had their
schemes and com mbinatioHs but they paled
their unefeetNal fires before Honest
Johns. His fist triumph was III the
brilliant success Of Moses, for Governor:
Melton was the next for Attorney Cen
craI: Cardozo for Treasurer was the key
stone of his arch, while Hoge for Con-
troler was necessary to complete the edi-
fee of fraud and iuiquity is over them
al. Paterson's scheme was threl Ny
one. First and nest important was the
Blue Ridge scrip interes'. Here was a
consideration Of something over two milr
hons of dollars. 70 eYesSet the opinion
ofWillard in the suit brought BY Auditor
Gary against Parker la thiS Matter was
the first point in the game. This has
been done by the nonapation of Moses,
Jr. The price will be paid when Moses,
ST., 'overrules Willard, and forces the
people of South Carolina to pay into the
pockets of the railroad ring two millions
of their hard earned dollars.
Melton assisted also in the Blue Ridge
matter. The day before he WIS nominat-
ed he reu.l,red Ets lscisioa dya,ayt til

The True Republicans.

We arrived home from the convention
too late to give proper notice to the
candidates of the True Republican con-
vention, except the candidate for em
or of whom we speak in another column.
James n. Hayne, for 1T. Governor Is
4 colored man who has been in the legls-
ltvre flom Rarnwell county and has we
believe an average record. Macon b.
Allen is colored lawyer of Charleston
now,but. 8 native of Massachusetts,. lie
has education and ability enough to make
n SfsdiEIle Secretary of State. John l.
eireeu. -Ise candidate for attorney gen.
cral, is at, t,present judge of the Third Cir
cuit. lIc;s native Of the State and a
graduate Of the South Carolina College,
Before the late xsr he was Representa-
tive in the Safe legislature. During the
war. notwithstanding he was recognized
rs Union man, the confidence in his III
tegrity was such that he was retained IN
the Legislature by the popular vote ofthe
people. Since the close Of ho'tiiities he
had advocated the Reconstruction Acts,
and this had been confirmed by the aaanl-
NOUS vote of the Republican party, speak
iee through their representatives. D.
Scott Murray of Anderson, for,oontroller'
Is an excellent selection. f1e is native
Of the state, lawyer Of ability and has
an unspotte3 reputation.
Edwin +. sssry, for treasurer, has won
q deserved reputation for honesty, firm
ness ANA ability in the Office of state
auditor. His opponents will find no blot
npon his record. lie is native OF Mas
sachuesetts, whose volunteer service he
made a good record. Since he has been
in the service of this State he has fouc mt
every scheme of plumber with dctcmln-
nation and shrewdncSs worthy Of all
praise.
Ben. /. Roberts, of Greenviile, for
Supt. of Z lucation, is a colored man of
first rate education. He is the head of
n large school there ana is universally re-
spccted.
Pr. Ezekiel, of Beaufort, for -Adjutant
General is also colorcd man. lie Is re-
spccted here by all asses as an honest
man. He is at present postmaster. de-
cidedly the best enc We have had since
the war.

eih of Charleston represented By CorbiR
in its endeavor to rescue the assets of the
road from the grasp of the villains who
have fiched the Melton has forever
damned himself and placed his name
high up on the roll of infmy.
Theelect!on of Cardozo secures the
validity of the notes recently issued by
the treasurer in exchange for pay certif-
Gates. It was significant to behold the
''honest" Cardozo surrounded by such
men as Paterson, Tom Mackey, Frank
Moses and IIardic Solomons receiving
their congratulations while the confedcr-
ates chucklcd over iheir coming gains
FROM Hartlic Solomons and the Carolina
national bank came the green backs
which scared the triumph. At any
tickliSh moment Paterson carriage
might be seen dashing up to one Of the
banks and soon after rolling back to the
State House. This WAS particularly
noticed Just before the bal,os for treas'lr-
er. Another noticeable thing is that
Parker seems to be perfectly satisfied
with the new treasurer.
The crowning scheme is scc,hcd in the
selection of Hoge for controller. The
Ring Pool in State bonds were defeated
in their attempt to force Auditor Gary to
levy and collect special tax for interest
next month. But rs loon as possible
that tax will be levied in spite Of the
plank in their platform on the subject.
In fact the plank referred to Is a part Of
the scheme. b. il they hope to still
further depress bonds, only to raise them
again by lcvying special tax to pay in
tercSt Immediately after election.
Never in the history of politics was a
convention so completely in the hands Of
corrnptionists. Well might one of the
delegates raise his hands to heaven i'm
ploring God to save the State.

of the State will not hesitate to say that
pledges from such source have no value,
but are simply intended to blind the eyes
of the people to the trne purpose ofthose
men, which purpose must be in the fr-
ture, as in the past, the accomplishment
of purely selfish ends, regardless OF the
welfare of the State.
7. That, in our Judgment, the best
safeguard to the public treasury is the
election of honest and faithful officers to
the various departments of government:
and that the history of the present ad.
ministration shows that no statutory
| safeguard will protect the treasury with
Franklin J. Moses, Jr., at the head OF
the government and his willing tools IN
the other Offices.
=. That under our Constitution. We
believe any other than an ad rdtorrn,
system of taxation to be null and void,
and hence that the general license law,
passcd at The last session OF the General
Assembly, was in violation OF the Cor.
stitution and of the rights Of the people,
and could only have originated IN de-
sire to extort from the people OF the
| State still larger sums of money, to be
corruptly used by the menwho controlled
the government.
Q. That we blush for our party when
we remember that, nnder this adminls-
tration, the education of the people has
been so shamefully neglected, in cons
.oucnce OF The failure of the government
to pay promptly and faithfully the APP
pronriations made by the Legislature;
and that we pledge ourselves to apply
remedy for this crOwning disgrace inthe
future.

From BRUNSON.

Editor Of the Beaufort Republican,:
A brief description of the above i'm

five miles from Beaufort will not Move
undressing to the numerous readers
Of your valuable paper.
Brurson will attract the attention of
travellers by the marked contrast it
presents in its favor over any point on
the Port Royal Railroad.
1t is situated in a high, elevated and
salubrious country, not surpassed any
where for heath, atfording pure and
cold water; and for the invalid seeking
tie cool ard bracing air Of the up
country, free ftom the annoyance of
mosquitoes, and the malarious fevers
and epidemics, so subject to the coast
and low Country Of our State, it must
pr' sent attraction not to be overlooked
The roads contiguous to Brunson are
excellent, atf,rding delightful and
pleasant drives, breaking the monoto-
ny by the constant panoramic view of
beautiful farms aud plantations, tenn
Ing with luXurant crops Of cotton, corn.
potatoes, fruits of all kind, and vegcta-
Die, etc. The country is certainly
well adapted tofruit growing, and will
remunerate those planting large
orchards.
In business point of view, BrUnson
is situated to command very heavy
trade. The surrounding country for
many miles is in thriving and pros
porous condition. Large crops Of cot
Ton, equalng any portion of the State,
are annually made and shipped from
this section Of the country. In fact,
this region is known as portion ofthe
great cotton belt Of Barnwell and Beau
folt counties, ard no lands of the State,
are more productive and yield better
crops of the staple.
B.unsOn is accessible to BarnweN
and COlleton counties, Savannah liver.
and every section OF the county by
the best Of roads, making it "tbe
grand cortre of business" which will
draw heavily in shipments aud trade
from the South Carolina Railroad, and
Savannah river steamers.

old Virginia gentleman, true hearted,

many lots, and the place is rapidly

The tableaux and musical entertain
ment at the Arsenal on Friday last,
was a complete success, when taking in
to consideration the short time those
interested in it, had for making the ne
cessary arrangements. 1t was attended
by large and appre ciatiye audience,
and looking at it in financial point of
view, lis originators are well satisfied
with their ,ff;!rts. The tableau was
placed upon the boards, in a manner
that did credit to the hist, ionic con-
ccptions of tho sc who had the manage
ment cf the entertainment. Amongst
the tableaux deserving SPECIAL note,
were "The First Fiirtation;" THE
Closing Scene;;' The Marty rdom Of St.
Agnes;' "The Studio;" and Tho
Marriage of Pocahontas;n but in sim
Cling ont these, it is not our intention
to slight those who contributed to the
evenings enjoyment in the other
scenes presented. The last two pieces,
put the audience in the best Of humor,
and they retired with smiling faces,
well pleased with the entire exhibition.
We hear that it is the intention Of
those interested, to give repetition Of
the entertainment in November next,
and We have no doubt, from the salts
faction given in their previous effort,
they will meet with that success they
heartily deserve.
