OrEN1No raE CE11.-At last there is o

OPENING THE CE1L.-At lost there is q
prospect that the doors of the peniten-
tiary will open to Tweed, and that the
once powerful politician will regain the
liberty Of which he has been SO long de-
prived. The kilograms published state
that the decision in his case, pronounced
by the New York Court of Appeal, will
cause him to he set Mt liberty inmedi-
ately. No one can doubt that Tweed
was corrupt politician, who robbed the
people of New York of fabulous amounts
when he was in power. But if he has
sinned, he has also suffered. His pu-
nishment has been severe; his ruin and
humiliation have been complete. Tho
man, who for years ruled great em-
pire with almost absolute power, was
driven from his position, stripped of
his authority, compelled to surrender
his wealth, branded rs q felon and
placed in prison. He comes from the
penitentiary disgraccd and ruined
man, and will be glad to hide in obscuri-
ty until there shall come the oblivion of
tho grave. We agree with the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, that the enmity of
his bitterest opponents, Of the greatest
sufferers by his crimes, must be exhaust
ed, and that few will find it in their
hearts to regret the decision which re-
stores him to freedom. People recollect
too, that, bad as Tweed was, others
equally rs bad escaped punishment
while he experienced nll the rigor of the
law. Shepard robbed the District of Co.
lumbia worse than Tweed ever robbed
New York, and received from the Prcsi-
dent honors and promotions rs reward
for his crimes. Colfax committed per-
jury with impunity, and received ON
ovation when he retired from Office.
Pomeroy and Patterson were notorious
for thcir thefts. and corruption, and nei-
ther one Of them hns received the slight
est punishment It is only the Demo
cratic fobber who has been punished.
All the Radical scoundrcls have escaped
scot-free.

Deny the Charge.

COLUMBIA, s. c., June 1G, 1875.
EDrroR CoLuMBA PHOENIX: We request
place in your columns, that we may
deny, in most solemn form, the false
and infamous charge of murder brought
against us by the men who confess under
their oath that they did the bloody deed.
The men who have instigated those
wretched criminals to accuse US Of hay
ing conspired with them in the cold
blooded assassination of DR.. Shell, in
1868, have their own skirts dyed red
with the blood Of the innocent, whom
they slew for their political opinions
Dr. Shell had never inflicted any injury
upon us, or upon any of our kindred.
We had no motive to seek his life. Those
who know us boSt will admit, unless
blinded by political hate, thnt there hns
never been anything in onr conduct to
justify the assassination of our fellow
men.
Hunted and persocutcI as VIC were for
years in Laurens County, solely because
of our political opinions, and we'll know
ing who were tho leaders in that persc-
cution, if we Ind been capable Of seek
ing our revenge along the path of the
assassin, those leaders would not be
living to-day to instigatc this most ma
lignant and groundless churge against
us, which rests alone upon the state
ment of the ovowcd principals in the
deed of blood.
We shrink from no judicial investiga-
ton, and stand prepared to meet our
accusers face to face in the courts.

The Philadelphia Press, referring to
the recital by Alr. Nordhotf, in recent
Herald letter, of case of bnrhnrous
treatment Of = colorcd woman in Missis-
sippi, says: Estates where the scene he
relates, is possible, cannot be governed
on the same principles and in the same
way in which Pennsylvania is governed"
There is unquestionably great deal of
dcviltry practiced in Mississippi which
goes unpunishcd, but rs that State has
been under Republican rule, in every
sense of the word, for eight or nine
years, the party who profess to be cham
pions of law, order and liberty, is en-
tirely responsible for the infamous treat
mcnt Of the colorcd girl referred to, and
for nuWcrous other acts of lnwlcssncss.
The Press evidently overlooked the fact
that Radical officials have allowed these
disorders to 30 on free-hnnded for so
long. But it seems to us that Mississippi
Republicans govern that State lust about
in the same way in which their brethren
govern the great State Of PENNSYLVANIA,
where horde Of cut-throat miners hold
large portion Of the territory in reign
oftcrror, shoot men down with impunity,
set fire to and destroy valuable manu-
fnctnring establishments, murder poor

a colored man appeared before COM
missioner Belts, in New York, on Friday
last. and asked for a warrant for the ar
rest of n confcctioner on the Sixth avenue,
on the ground that he had violated the
provisions of the Civil Rights Bill, in re-
fusing to sell the complainant plate of
ice cream on account of his color. The
Commissioner, without asking the name
of the complainant or of the person
against whom he desired to enter the
complaint, refused to grant the warrant,
on the ground that the net charged did
not come within the provisions of the
Civil Rights Bill. which did not contem-
plate the regulation of the business of
others than those subject to general pub
lie legislation; all others engaged in
business having the right to accept as
customers only such persons. as they
might choose to deal with. The COM
plAinant was very angry at the refusal of
the Commissioner, and wanted to know
what the Civil Rights Dill was good for,

The Princess of Wales appears to be
getting very strong hold on the affcc-

and they have ceased to abuse the Prime @

good fellow, and does his duty-not n
light one either-as Prince very nicely.
