FROM BAD TO WORSE.

The drift of things in South Carolina is
essentially bad. There appears TO be no
effort to elevate even the negro, but every
thing is to be dragged down 10 level at
which not only white men, but intelligent
colored men must revolt. The Columbia
correspondent of the New York World says
the affairs Of South Carolina are in worse
condition under Moses than under Scott.
He says:
"The reforming proclivities of the pres
eut regime are evinced in voting the Gov
ernor a contingent fund of $4,000, which
is equivalent to adding that sum TO his sal
airy, as he is not required to give any &C
count Of its disbursement-andi In author
izing payment of the million or more rotten
pay certifcates-in general increase of
expenses, and in lavish and reckless expen-
dIture of the public money. This session
has also given the coup de grace to the
South Carolina University. For several
years it has maintained sickly existence,
with mere handful Of Students, negroes
and scalswags having superseded the gen.
temen of the olden time in its board of
trustees, and negroes being entitled TO
matriculation. This brought no negro stu
dents, for they were not qualified, but it
kept away all Of the respectable class. Fail
ing, therefore, to bring the negro up to the
university, they have now brought the uni
versity down to the negro, and henceforth
il is 70 be substantially a negro free shool.
And so with everything else in this State;
the negro is worked up to office and con-
troll; but In everything else--in education,
morals and enterprise-the State goes down
to the African level. Every other part of
the State is impoverished and drained to
fstten the cormorants here; and as to the
morals of the officials, even a mildly drawn
picture would be suppressed as unfit for
your readers"

NOT SATISFIED.

The scandalous white washing done by
the Poland Credit Mobilier Committee and
the manner in which the House of Repre-
sentatives treated the whole subject, is not
satisfactory to tie honest portion of the
Republican party. The Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gaelic writes,
Feb. 2S, as follows:
"a number of Republicans, some among
the most respected in the House, are not
altogether satisfied that an occasion has
passed without expression whatever, either
upon the individual conduct of the mem
beTs accepting stock from Cakes Ames, or
upon the general subject of ownership or
interest by members III property directly
affected by legislation; while others, recol-
lectiDg the findings of the committee and
Gen. Buffers unchallenged assertion that
twas lying; and not holding Credit MObilier
stock which made all the trouble and
alarm, are not dis Osed TO congratulate the
members on the situation in which they are
left."
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes, Feb. Is:
sHaving slept on their action of yester-
day with regard to the Credit hObiieT vic
Tins, Congressman to-day appeared to man.
ifest some anxiety as to what sentiment
would be manifested by the country at large
as to the light punishment visited upon
them. There are large number of mem
bers who voted to eXtenuste the ofienses of
these gentlemen who do not conceal the
fact that they regard the action Of yesterday
as q grave political blunder, and one which
will surely react against the party as well as
the general character of Congress. There
is quiet but nevertheless strong feeling
among the betJer class of Representatives
that the people will rot care to understand
the pettifogging squabbles and technicalities
through which the offenders were allowed
TO escape, but will rather elect to consider
that Congress did not dare to expel its IN
worthy members through general guilty
sympathy. Everything in this connec ion
has resolved itself, so far SIS the House is
concerned, into morbid desire to close the
present session in all decent haste, and with
ii. if possible, the recollections of its re-
marksble developments of fraud and cor
rupiOns,"

LEGISLATIVE,

Both Houses are now very actively at
work, manifestins a disposition to get
through st the earliest possible moment.
They are now engaged in the consideration
of very important matters of legislation,
and should hasten slowly. The Assess
ment bill which viii probably be voted
upon on its third reading to-day, viii not
probably become the law. The Funding
bill of Mr.. James is the special order for to-
day and viii doubtless be passed. Mr.. Houk
introduced a lengthy, and SO far as ne
could gather its purport, very good Fund
ng bill in the. House. Both Houses passed
resolution to appoint Joint Committee
to look after corruption in procuring the
defeat of important bills during the last
Legislature.

ANOTHER CREDIT MORILIER.

"a 1t appears that Gov. Dix, of New York,
is mixed up in asdiscreditable way with the
Credit Mobilier scandal. The New York
Journal of Commerce regrets that Gov.
Dix did not 60 to Washington to testify be-
forethe Credit Mobilier committee. 1t says:
"The people of this State appreciate Gov.
Dix's devotion, to 'his executive duties at
Albany'-which he gives as the reason for
not going before the investigating commit
tee-but they would cheerfully have spared
him for two or three days, or week if nee
essary, In order that he might have relieved
himself from The imputations brought
against him. The Governor owed that
duty to the people even more than to him
self, and we regret that he left it undis-
charged"
The matter TO which the Journal Of Com.
merce refers is a contract made while Gov.
Dix was President Of the Union Pacifi;
Railroad Company. The Wilson commit
tee reported that the Hoxie contract was
executed in total disregard Of the interests
of that Company, and they said they did
not doubt but that it was deliberately done;
and they produced the Hoxie contract, with
the name of John a. Dix appended there
to, as the Chairman of the special commit
tee. Are nearly all the leaders Of the rad
ical wing of the Republican party involved
in this Credit Mobilier scandal?

THE Rev. DR.. j. 2. Newman and lady
were at the grand bali given by Gov
Cooke, in Washington, on the evening Of
the.ISth OF February. Dr. Newman is the
well-known Methodist divine, and is the
chaplain of the United States Senate. Al
though DR.. Newman aud his lady did not
actually join in the dance, says the New
York World, their presence and tacit ap-
proval of the festivities have set the old
time Methodists TO talking, and they seem
to think the Rev. DR.. Newman and his es-
srs n Unable wife have committed grave of

WORSE AND WORSE.


Every development only makes the mat
Ter worse for poor Colfx. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
writes under date of Feb. % as follows:
"There has been much talk yesterday
and to-day among the Republicans of the
Indiana delegation over the further facts in
regard to Mr.. Colfax's relation to the Mes
bitt matter, which were brought out by the
examination made for the purpose of show
ing that he had never taken any part in
furthering Nesbitt's business before the
Postoffice Department. The examination
showed that he had appeared at the depart
ment since his term as Vice-President be-
gan, and filed an argument in favor of con-
tinuing the contract to this firm after the
Postmaster General had received an opin-
ion from the Attorney General that he was
not bound to observe the irregular assign
ment of The contract by his predecessor,
Randall, and after Mr.. Creswen had there
upon notified Nesbitt that bis contract
would be set aside, and relet upon proper
legal notice."
The Postmaster General makes very
lame defense OF Colfax in relation to this
matter. He denies that the files of the De-
paItment show that Colfax was the attor-
ney or lobbyist of Nesbitt, but admits that
when the contract with the latter was ter
minated on the recommendation of the At
toney General, Colfax urged that the heirs
of Nesbitt, having the necessary buildings,
machinery and materials, and not having
forfeited the contract by any malpractice,
should have the opportunity to work up the
same till the new contract was let, or that
they be allowed to present argument as to
the validity of their contract as extended.
The Postmaster General thinks there was
nothing wrong in this, yet it is pretty clear
that the $1,000 Nesbitt sent Colfax induced
him to intercede in the manner he did. Col
fax and bis friends had better let explana-
tons alone. They only make the matter
worse.

bat sin time when every election is de-

MANY frantic attempts have been made

pronounced in French. The Philadelphia
