The Goyenorship.
- The Columbia correspondent of the
News and Courier, writing on Thursday last,
has the following to say in regard to the can
didates for Governor:
The candidates for Governor are showing
considerable activity. Moses, so far, has the
inside track, but parties are endeavorlng. to
rule him off it, by the reported decision against
him of the National Radicals and President
Grant. Chamberain's friends are earnest and
anxious They find that bis record is against
him that it will be investigated, and can't
stand the test. But they are busy, and it is
thought that the Union-Herah will be so run
or controlled as to give him its support.
Scott has undoubtedly considerable strength,
but he seems undetermined lately whether to
use it or not. 1t is claimed for him that he
can show cleaner hands than Chamberlain in
the matter of the bonds, the land commission,
&c. A new man is likely to be brought for
ward in Senator Robertson. Judge Mackey
proclaims him to be the coming man, and a
good many wire pullers are ready to pull that
way. Corwin, of Newberry, has come back
from Ohio with the conviction that something
he never thought of before must be done. lie
talks favorably Of Robertson. This straw
shows the way the wind blows.
Joe Crews says that Moses is out OF sight,
ahead of all competitors. He claims for
him that he had nothing to do with the bonds,
with the odium of which both Scott and Cham
berlain are justly saddled. Joe also charges
upon the Legislature which authorized the
issue of fraudulent pay certificates, and tempt
ed Moses to do it, the guilt Of part of the
sin. He scouts the idea of President Grant
interfering with the Governors election. He
thought it all stuff. Grant couldn't scare
them. If he should say that "he didn't like
things down here," they might retort that
''they didn't like Grant" and the balance
would be even.
Public Affairs in South Carolina.
- From the Washington Chronicle, Re-
publican paper, We clip the following editorial
paragraphs regarding the political condition
of our State:
"It will require many years and very rad!'
cal changes in public sentiment for the cltl'
zens of South Carolina who still maintain
their adhesion to the old Democratic party to
have any effective participation in the control
and destiny of public affairs. 1t is notorl;
Gus fact that there exists a lamentable state OF
corruption among many ofthe present officers
of that State, which is not creditable to either
the party nominating or electing them. The
