A Rare Specimen Of Honesty for Rad
ical Paper.

We said the other day that Mr.: S. S,
Cox had returned his back pay, and that
this was an act which ought to be entered
on the credit side of his balance-sheet
with the public Upon this correspon
dent corrected US, and inslnuated that Nj
Cox did not return the money until Mr.
James Brooks died, and he saw a chaze-
Of being elected in Mr.. Brooks place. We
are now satisfied that this insinuation was
unjust Mr. Cox had many private du
ties, oc very sad nature, to attend to af
ter the close of the session, but when
these were discharged, he lost no time in
ordering the back pay to be returned to
the Treasury. Upon the whole, we ad-
here to the opinion we before expressed,
and We recommend our correspondent AZ.

"take back seat" Mr.. S. S. Cox is an
old political antagonist Of ours, but an
tagonists are as much entitled to fair treat
ment as ones friends-often little more
so.-New York Times

Yielding to the Allurements ofthe Sex:

Yielding to the allurements ofthe Sex:
Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, who
by the grace of Radicalism is President
pro TEN. of the Senate Of the United
States, has yielded to the allurements of
the sex-the fair sex, of course!-and Gre
ated scandal which is just now horrify-
ing the Northern people. and amusing
those of the South. Senator Carpenter,
unlike Bill Arp, who has " feminine
instinct" for no other woman than Mrs.
Arp, has become enmeshed by notori-
Gus and beautiful member of the New
York dem.i monde, and is so infatuated
with his charmer that he has boldly ia
ken her to Long Branch, and appeared
with her there on the public walks and
drives. Mrs Carpenter being at home
In Wisconsin, this conduct on the part Of
Christian statesman" is, to say the
least Of it. leetle bit naughty. The big
New York Tribune has publicly hauled
Mr.. Carpenter over the Goals for thus
publicly insulting the country, and dares
him, if he does not like the tale, to sue it
(the Tribune) for SANDER. The Senator
| does not sue.
This man, who, if death should sud
denly remove Grant and Wilson. the lat
ter of whom is almost dead any way
would become President Of the United
States, has valantly defended the salary
grab-back pay and all-upon the ground
that it was a great moral measure hy
which members of Congress would be
kept out Of many evil '0ays; because the
addition of $500 year to their salaries
would enable each me of these honora-
BILE gentlemen to take his wife with him
to Washington!
What pity then that Senator Carpen-
ter. with his back pay, amounting to
5000, could not have afforded to take
his wife with him on his late visit to the
Northern watering places, instead of the
"lady" with whom he travelled upon
such terms of intimacy as to occasion
both himself and his "lady" to be ex
PEELED from hotel at Long Branch. Col
fax, and Butler, and Howard, and the
Credit Mobilier thieves-and now Sena-
tor Carpenter and his "lady"!
Had the Democrats been in power, and
had they elected such d man AS this to
the third Office in the Government, what
howl of virtuous wrath would have
gone up from the moral presses Of the
moral Republican party but as Senator
Carpenter is in high standing with the
party of all virtue and morality, may
be sure that very few words will be ut
tered by any administration print In
condemnation of conduct which ouGhtto
excite the indignation of every mrn Of
average decency.

Decided Against the White People of
South Carolina.

Last week we spoke of the probability
of the indefinite delay of the decision in
the case of Morton, Bliss Il Go. against
the taxpayers of South Carolina. Since
then. however, the said decision has been
riyen, and of course it is adverse to the
white people of South Carolina-they
alone being, to any extent, taxpayers.
Chief Justice Moses and Associate JUS
tices Wright and Willard, all concur in
the docision-one native renegade, with
e white Yankee carpet-bagser and ne
gro Yankee carpet bagger. A precious
trio OF villains, who ought to'be hung all
in row, as Capt. Jack and hissix fellow
prisoners are to be on the Sd Of October
Pretty governmentthis hanging wretch
ed unlettered Modocs, and allowing the
Supreme Court of South Carolina to go
unhalteredl
But let us make it long time before
we pay this same tax!
The New York Herald speaks of the
matter as follows:
"Recent advices are to the effect that
one of the Associate Chief Justices OF
South Carolina-Judge Willard, former
ly of New York-has rendered a decision
In the suit of firm OF bankers here,
brought for the purpose of enforcing the
LAYING of special tax to pay the interest
on certain State bonds believed to have
been fraudulently issued. This decision
is adverse to the taxpayers, but it is not
at all probable that they will permit the
matter to rest until final verdict is rem
dered by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States Grave questions are on trial,
involving the integrity of the Legislature
and State officials, and local rottenness is
not likely to be faithfully probed by those
who have become infected by its atmos-
phere The people of South Carolina
have already indicated cheerful willing
pess to pay their honest debts. The
world asks nothing more. tits reserved
for the highest tribunal of the land to
mark the dividing line between the true
and the false; and until this point is de-
cided VIC need not look for tho bestowal
of much confidence on any doubtful class
of South Carolina securities"
