G9r The Ne,oark Daily Register gives the
following neat hit at the prevalent tendency
to say only evil of political opponents
1t won't answer to have honest men in poll
ties anyhow. They may be good enough to
carry a ticket, and win an election, but they
contrive somehow before long to squander
their own hackers political capital. Here is
honest John Allen, the Democrat elected
Governor of Ohio on the strength of his good
name, who has just said 1.-The Democrats
came into Office lastJannary after our political
opponents had held control of the State of
Ohio for nearly twenty years, but we couldn't
find, after the most scrupulous examination,
a single case Of official corruption. They had
done Some things that were wrong nothing
was corrupt They spent more money than
a heavily-taxed people could bear; but they
didn't steal any Such honest and conscien-
tious talk is ruination to politics. 1t is plain
that either political methods must be changed,
or honest men will not be available in politics
Hadn't we better reform politics and use ths
honest men?

Was 1t Fraudulent!

Iu Mr.. Chamberlain's letter to the
public, he denied, amongst other
things, that he was party to the
fraudulent sale of the State stock in
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company. He also asserted that "there
was no fraudulent sale of that stook,"
80 far as his knowledge or belief ex-
tended-the sale having been made at
price ''iuiiy equal TO its value. This
matter has been often discussed, and
is etale subject. But it will not do
to gloss it over, because it lies back in
lhe past. In his testimony before the
Congressional Committee, Judge Car
penter gave different version OF the
affair. He said. that although very
considerable amount Of the stock Of
the road had been purchased in tho
country, the parties-thnt is, the ring
who had the job on hanl, still
lacked enough to give them control
ing interest. 70 secure it to them, q
bill was introduced into the Legisla-
ture, which authorized the Governor,
The Comptroller, the Treasurer, the
Attorney g eneral and the Ohairmen of
The Committee on Finance in the So
nate and Of Ways and Means in the
House. to sell any oi the public stocks
or property held by tie State Of South
Carolina, at public or private sale.

EXTRACTS FROM NEW YORK Press =
The New York Times, after an ex-
tended notice of the "tumultuous con.
venLion" which nominated Mr.. Cham-
berlain for Governor, concludes with
the following objection to him: Ono OF
tue most striking and important Oh
lections made in the Convention to the
nomination Of Mr.. Chamberlain as
Governor was somewhat rs follows.
A grand raid on the State Treasury is
contemplated by the holders Of fraud
ulent bonds and pay certificates. Mr..
Chamberlain might not take any part
in that raid, but he certainly would
not be the nan to stop it. There was
the experience Of the past, uufortn-
nately. to corroborate this staten ent
But Mr.. Chamberlain, in his "cold
but graceful" speech accepting the
nomination of the Convention, pro.
mised to ''do his BEST" if elected to
retrieve the good name of the party in
the State. The questions which all
friends Of reform ought now to ask
are: Will Mr.. Chamberlain's 'best"
be good enough2 Gan he secure the
faithful application of the revenues to
the best interests of the State : Are
all the politicians supporting him sin
cere in their professions of desire for
retrenchment and absolute honesty?
Tho Herald considers the movement
of the independent Republicans as

the regular party ticket has been set in
motion among the colored Republi-
cans, who are in favor of honest 60
vernment and against the corrupt and
shameless ruling ring of that unfortu-
nate State. This is the most hopeful
movement yet attempted. The most
hopeful, we say, for among the honest
colored men of all parts of the State
it appears to be accepted as the open
sesame to the den Of thieves.
