The State Press Association.

The newspapers seem generally agreed upon
the propriety of forming State Press Associa-
ton, and large majority are willing to engage
in the organization at an early day. In refer
ring to the subject two or three weeks since,
we ventured to suggest Columbia as the place
of meeting; but we are now disposed to coin
eide with the proposition to meet in Charleston,
for many reasons. The several failures to meet
in Columbia when arrangements were perfected
before make it ominous to appoint that place
again. Besides, we have courteous invitation
to the interior press from the Neaos and Courier,
whose position as theleading paper of the State
entities -emnence at the inaugural meeting.
We cheerfully and unanimously vote" for
Charleston as the place of meeting, and sug-
gest Thursday, 9Th of May, as proper time
for the assemblage ola good-looking and in
tellgent set of men in "the old city by the sea- u
We would further suggest that Hemphill, Of
the Medium, takes along that speech he pre-
pared two years ago for similar occasion, to
be used when the proceedings grow dull and
monotonous, and that Sparnick, of the Aiken
Tribune, resurrects the problem which racked
his brain SO powerfully about the same time
These relics of the former Association might
prove beneficial as connecting link in oul
history.

ElIiott's Menaaerie.

Among the exciting incidents Of the past
week was the arrest of James G. Thompson,
editor of the Columbia Union Herald, for al
legged contempt of the House of Representa-
tiyes in using certain "defamatory, scandalous
and malicious" language respecting portion
Of it's members. The offensive paragraph was
in relation to the veto message of Gov. Cham
berlain, which the editor asserted would be
read everywhere by honest people with appro-
baton. He continued as follows: '"rhe plum
derers, led by Leslie, were full of wrath
Green, Humbert, Hamilton, Thomas, Keith,
CAN'T, ETC., were eager to exhibit the intense
indignation which filled their righteous souls,
and ever and anon Leslie would wander around
to stir up the animals to renewed howls Of an
guish and despair. No pack ofjackals scenting
the carcass ever made night as hideous. We
give few specimens in our legislative proceed
mgs."
The tenor of the debate showed that offence
was given In calling them animals" This
excited wrath and indignation far more than
stigmatizing them as aplunderers," which ftly
characterizes the members to whom he made
allusion. The editor was brought before the
bar of the House on Friday morning, when it
was discovered that huge elephant was on
their hands, and the offending editor was re-
leased, without even gentle rebuke from the
principal keeper of the menagerie The lu-
dicrousness and stupidity of this proceeding
became apparent to the dullest intellect. We
are fallen upon evil times when Courts and
Legislatures seek to invade the rights of citi-
zens, and endeavor to muzzle free speech !!
The recent failures in this direction, however,
will not encourage speedy repetition of such
unlawful and high-handed measures.

The Veto Message.

We publish to-day the veto message of Gov.
Chamberlain, in which he refuses most emphat-
icaly to sign the "act to provide for the settle
ment and redemption of certain claims against
the State" popularity known as the4Bonanza
bill. The message will command attention
from its vigorous and scathing denunciation of
this gigantic fraud, and the wholesome senti-
nents included. The reception of this message
created intense indignation among the plum
derers and efforts were made to secure the pas
sage of the act over the veto. On point OF
order, Speaker Elliott ruled that the act in
question had become law by the failure of the
Governor to return the same with his objections
within the time prescribed by the constitution.
The matter was referred to the judiciary COM
mittee, who could not agree upon report, and
the Speakers ruling was sustained by vote of
sixty-three to fortY-si1, when the act was de-
clared to be law. The Intervention of the
Courts will be sought, and it is expected that a
judicial hearing will upset the hopes of the
.plunderers, whose determination to win will
not hesitate to override the law and common
sense. AS we understand the matter, the ru-
ling ofSpeaker Elliott makes ita matter of i'm
possibility for the Governor to have complied
with the law, and the Courts will not exact i'm
probabilities of Gov. Chamberlain, especially
in his dealings with the accomplished scoun-
drels who have been plundering the State for
the last seven wears

End of the Cardozo Affair.

| Our Columbia correspondent fully explains
the situation in Columbia, and sets forth the
animus of the opposition to the State Treasu-
rer, who has been acquitted of the charges
made against him by the General Assembly
refusing to sustain the address for his removal
from Office We are not an admirer of Cardozo
by any means, and we would cheerfully well
come his retirement from public station. But
the objects in view at this time not only fail to
command approval, but merit the strongest
condemnation from all good citizens. 1t is
scheme to wrest the State from honest and Ca
pable men, and once more inaugurate the reign
of corruption and ignorance. Such is the pic
ture offered by our esteemed correspondent,
whose facilities for constant observation of
political schemes and aspirations enables him
to form correct and unbiased judgment We
are satisfied with the action of the Democratic
members, and feel confident that. their constit-
uents will award them praise for sincere and
discriminating conduct.
In the House of Representatives, the debate
lasted five hours at the morning session, and
consumed several hours additional at the even

- The Rome (Ga) Courier says: Democra-
tic success next year will greatly depend upon
the preservation of harmony in our own ranks.
IF any attempt is made to shift our lines upon

election occurs.
"A Washington special says that the Presl-
dent, in recent conversation, said he had no
faith that the Louisiana Conservatives would
observe the Wheeler compromise or any basis
of settlement that failed to place the State
Government in their hands. There might be
temporary suspension of the fight against
Kellogg, but it would be sure to break out
again. Gen. Sheridan entertains the same
sentiment.
- Another effort is on foot to get around the
Supreme Court decision compelling the State
to receive bills of the Bank Of the State in pay
mcnt of State taxes. The Senate adopted a
resolution nstructing the finance committee to
amend the tax levy bill so as to make all taxes
uayable to the counties. The courts having
decided that the bills were not receivable for
county taxes, it is hoped to dodge the Supreme
Court decision in this way.

that only white people have the right to ge

and successfully opposed. Had the faction

and successfully opposed. Had the faction
been successful, the Government of this State
would have been established permanently in
the hands of the negro element, and the success
of the measure would have 50 strengthened
them, that in twelve hours after the removal OF
the Treasurer the Governor also would have
been removed from office, and Lieut.. Gov
Gcavcs would have been Governor in stead
This consideration, and many others similar,
together with the clear and explicit vindication
of the Treasurer, made the duty of the Con-
servatves plain and simple. They had the
whole interests of the State in their keeping,
and they could not ignore any of the facts or
issues connected with the matter. They did
consider all the facts, and deliberately made
up their minds, and voted to sustain the Gov
ernor and the Treasurer, and in so voting an
other victory was won. From the character of
the men interested in this prosecution, it was
made clearly manifest the nature of the ends
they sought The vote was taken amidst the
greatest excitement and its result was unex-
pected to the most sanguine. In the House, 63
voted to sustain Cardozo and 45 against him
in the Senate, 1S voted for and II against him.
The last fight, it is to be hoped, is over, and
though many bad laws have been passed, the
Conservatives feel that they have done their
duty, and believe the whole people of the State
will Justify the wisdom of their action in this
and other matters.
The bill providing for the redemption of the
floating debt was vetoed by the Governer, who
handled with gloves off the corruptionists and
commission appointed by them. When it was
discovered that the veto would be sustained, q
trick was resorted to, by which it was made to
appear that the bill was law without the
Governors approval. Perhaps it is we'll as il
is, for the question of its validity becomes
matter for the Courts to decide upon, ano
there is no doubt as to what their decision will
be-
Quite an amusing occurrence happened on
Thursday. J. G. Thompson, Esq, editor of the
Union Herald in commenting upon the effort
of the ring to override the Governors Veto
spoke of several of the dark-skinned gentle
men as animals, &c. Mr.. Editor was adjudged
guilty of contempt, and ordered before the bal
of the House, but the men who would not con
sent to be called AMI mails, soon found they hao
an elephant upon their hands. These gentle
men would not be called animals, but they
called Mr. Editor an elephant, which in every
land is considered the crowning glory of the
menagerie. They backed out and he was
turned loose.

Not Admitted.

The United States Senate discussed the ad-
mission of Pinchback to that body for four days.
The debate was able and exhaustive, including
speeches from Senators Morton, Alcorn and
others, who favored the recognition of Pinch
back as the lawful, Senator from Louisiana,
and earnest remonstrances against his admis-
sion from number of Senators, prominent
among whom were Judge Christiancy, of Mi
chigan, and Judge Edmunds, of Vermont,
both Republicans. The speech of Edmunds
was an extended and powerful argument in sup
port of his views, denying the legality of the
Kellogg government, from whence Pinchback
received his credentials. Senator Morton
made strong effort to overcome the legal
arguments against the recognition of Kellogg
and Pinchback, and did everything in his pow
er to sustain the administration view of affairs
in Louisiana It was plain and evident how
ever, that enough Republican Senators would
combine with the Democrats to insure the de-
feat of his proposition to admit Pinchback
Hence, it was necessary to resort to other tac-
tics. and motion was made to postpone the
whole matter until the second Monday in De-
eember next, which was adopted by vote Of
SS ayes to 80 nays. Thus ended the discussion
which ternsinated in an unexpected manner
for it was confidently believed that direc
vote would defeat the administration. The
Republican Senators desired to avoid the re-
sponsibility of deciding upon the admission o.
rejection of Pinchback, prefering to adjourn
the debate to futdge time, and we have NJ
doubt that many of them would be delighted
for the saddle-colored claimant to make hi
exit from this world, rather than to encounte
the sad misfortune of making record on thi
subject. The evasive action OF the Senate doe
not strengthen President Grant, nor give hin
cause to believe that he will be sustained il

ern States.

Mr.. EDITOR: We are pleased to observe in
your paper of the 18th inst, under the above
head the following remarks:
"The Board of County Commissioners are
determined to arrange matters so that in future
all complaints in regard to the roads and bridg-
es can easily be brought to their attention, and
for this purpose a division of the townships
has been made, and each Commissioner allot-
ted certain townships over which he will exer-
else special care and superintendence."
This is good news to all persons who have
been compelled to travel over our much-neg-
lected and badly worked roads. Placing the
responsibility on one individual for each sepa-
rate section instead of the whole Board, will,
no doubt, have good effect in the manage
ment of our country roads. But who shall
superintend operations of the town councils of
our incorporated villages, when in some nstan-
ces the work on the roads within the incorpo-
rate limits and even the streets, are more neg
lected than the roads in the country outside of
their limits? The Town Council of Pendeton
can safely challenge the State for premium
on the worst worked streets and roads within
its limits. Who shall we appeal to to remedy
this neglect of official duty? Should it be
Judge Cooke? Please give us light.
We believe it to be bad policy to elect 8
town council, and especially the Intendant,
from amongst the highest taxpayers of vii
lage, and expect that council to tax the citi-
zens to raise the funds for working the streets
and roads. There are but few men who will
be found willing to tax themselves; would
rather wade through bad, almost impossible
streets and roads. If they can keep the side
walks clean, which is commonly badly done'
and what is done with much partiality alls
we'll. Many of their rules and regulations for
the government of the burgh, are altogether
ignored. Once in a while they will pounce on
an ignorant individual and make him pay a
penalty which dozen, equally as guilty of
same violation, escape. We think the old rule
of calling out the hands liable to work on the
| roads and streets, and placing them under
competent directors or overseers to work some
ten or twelve days in the year, if necessary,
would insure better worked roads and streets
than does the custom of taxing and hiring the
work done.
