Radical party in Congress and Presi-
dental Controller, exploded politi-
cal powder boat in Congress, q few
days before the adjournment. The
explosion seems to have been as harm
less, however, as the Fort Fisher af-
fair. Butler repeats the charge that
the firm of Phelps, Dodge g. Co.
have swindled the government out Of
a large sum Of money, in the shape Of
frauds upon the revenue. He stated
also, that not over sixty per cent. Of

MALFEAsANcE IN OFrIcE.-RadicaI
morality and official integrity appear
to bo at a heavy discount in South
Carolina. A letter in the New York
Times, (No. Radical authority, in
alluding to the general rascality which
prevails in that carpethag ridden State,
says: From the official records Of the
prosecuting attorneys Of the different
circuits in South Carolina it will be
seen that one-third Of the number of
persons holding minor positions have
been indicted for some offenses COM
mitted during their terms Of Office, and
much larger proportion is charged
with crimes Of various kinds prior to
their election OF appointment Charls-
ton county is pehaps worse in this
particular than any other portion Of
the State. From tho highest to the
lowest State officer in the district
nearly all have been charged with, and
many of them convicted Of one or
more offenses. Among the cases cited
by the Times is that Of Richard II.
Gain, congressman at largo, who is
charged with fraudulent transactions,
but has not been prosecuted, because
he was high in tho favor Of the State
government. t..

Butfer ON Po,cer.,

No one will be surprised at any
thing which may como from the lips
of Ben. Butler, but some people who
havo innocently considered the gen
eral government only machine to
serve the interests of the people, and
that office holders wero the servants
of the sovereign people, may be some
what astonished to learn that tho
general government has power to
invade tho sanctity of mans home,
and there take liberties, with his
property, which even our local laws
cannot touch. Upon bill being
offered in the House of Representa-
tives recently by Butler, a Democratic
member innocently inquired whether
the government had any right to do
what the General proposed. "The
Government" was the prompt and
contemptuous reply, "bas right to

must bo careful how they incur the
wrath of that terrible monster the
general government or they may have
the pleasure Of a call from Ben. some
night, when he may come as an attor-
ney of the great central power and
relentlessly deprive them OF their
linen. But seriously, there is much
truth in Butlcr's remark, the general
government is gradually gathering to
itself an immense power which will
some day prove ruinous TO our free
dom, if the people do not put veto
on Capitalization. - Columbia Herald.
