Mayor Cunningham, of Charleston, seems
to be in m unfortunate prcdicamcnt just
now. The chief magistrate of n great city
indicted for official misconduct is nm nnomn-
ly in the history of political govern 9.
His special champion is the News -ricr
Democratic Bourbon sheet, which SIX
months or year ago, denounced Cunning
ham and his whole city government rs
heartily as it now lnuds him. What's the
matter? Has the mayor sold out to the
Democrats and gone back to his first love,
that the Ntws and Courier should take to him
60 kindly; or where does the shoe pinch
There is one thing, however, which people
would like to know very much, and that is,
"now did the Eeps and Courier knop that
Cunningham W as indicted 'upon the affidavit
of Sheriff Bowen.'" If this assertion be
true somebody, told tales out Of school.

Some Tall Lying.

s.Ina packed convention fifty Rcpublica ms
were found who could not be persuaded or
bribed 10 assent to the nomination of Cham
berlain. These men did not "bolt." They
went back to their constituents; they told
the tale of the convention; they described
the candidate of the Ring, and showed how
his nomination was procured. Acting upon
the 6eli:f that The conservatives could monJuliy
sustain than, they organized at once as lnde-
dent Republicans, and elected their dele
gates to the State Convention, which hns
put in nomination Judge Green and Major
Delany."-Ncps and Courier, 6th.
A portion of the foregoing is Democrat
ic 1Iie Of the first water, ms we propose to
show. In the first place the Republican
Convention was composed of regularly eleo-
Ted delegates, chosen Mt the regular county
conventions, called by tLe county chairman
n,proper form and with due notice. There
was no "packing'' about it, and the writer
Of the foregoing extract knew this fact when
he pcnned that paragraph. Nor were there
sffy mem "who went back to their con-
stituents" and told the tale Of the convcn-
tion, md "thcn organized at once MS indie
pendent Republicans" The Nc~s and
Courier knows that This assertion is not only
not literally true, but is literally false, rs
we will conclusively show. OF the sixty
delegates, more or less, that composed the
"Independent Convention" less than twenty
were members of the regular convention,
and half Of these were from the county of
Charleston. The counties of Beaufort,
Chesterfield, Collcton, Fairfield, Kershaw !,
Newberry, Oconec, Richland, Union, Will
lamsburg and York were represented by
men who had no part in the former convcn-
tion, while Clarendon, Darlington, George
town, Horny and Marion had one each who
were members of the regular convention.
More than half of the delegates to that bo
gus concern were not elected by any colven-
ton, Of any sort whatever, and no more
represented The Republican patty Of this
state, or Of my particular county, than
would the same number of mon picked up
about the street.
We have mover doubted for q moment the
paternity of thia movement, for il has bee
plainly apparent from the outset. The two
lines printed in italics show beyond ques-
tion, where the "Independent" movement
originated, but we do. not supposeits Demo
cratic godfather would deem it necessary
TO let tho cat out Of the bag 80 soon. We
