The CASE PLAINLY STArRD.-Hon.
John j. Patterson has issued pamphlet
containing what he calls refutation of
the charges OF bribery brought against
him. I'VE doubt whether this will help
the case. q The misfortune is, that prior
to the election there was q bold and de.
fant admission OF the purpose to control
the Senatorial election by the use of
money. It was just as well understood
IN Charleston, on the testimony alike of
the press and the people there. that the
election was to be controlled by the
longest purse, as that an election was to
take place. Those who were defeated
may have been just aa corrupt, Just as
willing to traffic for votes, as the man
who was elected, but that fails to relieve
the result from its fearfnlly demoralizing
character. The poor, benighted orea.
lures who sold their votes are to be
pitied.r Their unfitness to occnpy the
position Of legislators is thus made too
painfully evident. But we do not see
how that lessens tho guilt of intelligent
men, who thus make o seatin the United
States Senate matter Of merchandise.
The Senatorial election in South Carolina
is. unfortunately, not the only one In
winch 1T has been publicly charged that
money was used without stint, and the
result pompassed by that means, if un-
will rob the Senate of that ex-
allied character that has made it the
pride and boast OF. the nation. Colonel
Patterson may not be q sinner above all
others. bat the charges in his case
have been SO exploit as to make il mn
pleasantly prominent The publication
Of this pamphlet is a proof OF that fact.

The scrip gas. Arga.msns.-;Uenslnysa,
Mr. Haskeli continued and concluded
his argument, on She side Of the State
in this case, before The snplsme: Court,
yesterday morning. he showed that. il
the Legislature can, under the Consti.n-
iion. give tho aid Of the State to enter.
prises and improvements, it can only do
so by raising money as therein directed.
That guarantee is not debt until the
instrument. guaranteed has fallen due,
and tho principal has failed to pay.
These events not having occurred, the
State 10 in ne manner liable for the
$4. 600. .000. even if, the guarantee be
constitutional, and that the Act Of, 1879
is premature. That should tho moral
obligation ever arise, the Legislature can
meet it in no other way than by appro-
priation, as provided for, and by issue of
bonds. That no scrip certificate or other
evidence of indebtedness can be issned
by the Legislature or the officers of the
government, in the name OF tho State,
except for stock, bonds or other evil
denoes OF indebtedness held against the
stnte at the time of the adoption OF tbs
Constitution, or arising subsequently,
under Sections 8. and IA of Artiols
TX. That the said S4,00O.OOO bonds,
whether due or not, do not come under
any OF the above olassifcations. That
the intention Of the Constitution, when
not positively Inconsistent with the
words thereof, is the law by which the
Court will decide. And it is much
stronger when the language and the in
tention are consistent.
Mr.. Haskell was followed by Mr.. Pope
on the same side.
Upon the conclusion OF Mr. Pope's
argument, Attorney General Melton oc-
cupied the remainder Of time before ad-
journment Of the court in denying the
allegations Of counsel on the other side,
Mr.. Chamberlain that the appropriate.
ness Of the remedy by nsandamus, the
right Of the relators to demand it, and
that the respondent is the proper officer
to be compelled are unquestioned. The
writ OF mandaaus is inapplioable. except
where there hos been direct demand OF
the prosecutor upon. the officer to dis
charge duty, and that it has not been
done. Nor can it be enforced on him
until he has had the opportunity by dis
tinct application to him, to perform the
duty required. No such demand has
been made upon the present respondent,
nor any intimation even of it.
