Three of the Presiiont's Cabinet,
t}ristow, Jewell an Dclano, conspir.
I'd to discharge the New York Times
and Evcning Post as advertisers, be.
cause they differed in politics with
the President and Cabinet.
Wherein does their case differ
from that Of Conservatives who dis.
charged employees for political DIFF.
fcrences And why may not Grant

Coz. Chamberlain has addressed a
letter to Senator Nash, the chairman
of the Senate Finance oom mitter, en-,
treating him to reduce appropriations
10 within tho amount realized by tho
taxes. Ii the Legislature passes an
cxo'bi,ant APT ropriation bill it will
bc the duty Of the Governor to veto
it. AZ an evidence of an honest do.
sire for reform, the Governor has
recommended tho reduction of his
own contingent fund to three thous-
and dollars.
The Grand Jury, Of Charleston
County have found eight truo bills
ngain*t the proprietors of the News
and Courier for libel against the
infamous Bowen aid his crew. The
News and Courier merely .mado
truthful exposition of tho character
of the knaves who had conspircd to
ruin Charlesttn County. by Its
clarion Lotcs rousipg tho honest
masses in opposition to tho ring it
saved the county and tho city from
'poliation. For thus saving tho polt
ical and material life of Charleston
from its arch enemy it should, in
stead Of punishment, receive q civic
crown.

The Senate investigating committee
reported that Senator Thud Andrews
of Orangeburg has been guilty of con.
duct unbccoming Il senator in COM
bining with lIumbcrt to shave county
claims, and Smalls, Duncan and Joter
commend expulsion, while Whit.
tcmoro and Smith rcco amend morely
ccusurc. The 18th instant has been
appointed for considering tho case.
Whittomoro remembers his own
double expulsion from Congress for
corrupt practices, and fellow feeling
makes him wondrous kind. Andrews
should bo ignominiously expelled.
This is triumph for tho News and
Courier, rs that paper first b brought
20 light tho testimouey of Humbort
Duplicating Andrews in his crime.
little by little the radical ccsspool
is being drained.
Jadge Mackcy has done q good
wo,k in Edgciicld. His report to
Gov. Chamberlain is able, exhaustive
and, We firmly believe, entirely COR
rect in every particular. His re.
concentrations arc wise, and have
been approved by tho Governor. A
special beatitudo is announced for
the rcaccmakcr. If Judge Mackcy
succeed in restoring harmony in our
unfortunate sister county, ho will DO
entitled to tho thanks Of all good
cit(iZens irrespective Of race or party.
SO soon as tho republican leaders
begin to direct all their efforts to Sc
curing honest governments and COM
pe'cnt cilicials, they will find that os-
tracism and race antagouism and
party heat will rapidly disappear.
The conservatives Of South Carolina
are the most easily contentcd people
in the world, and Gov. Chamberlain
and Judge Mackcy havo. dono much
to conci'iatc them in this Edgcfcld
matter.
TiIton has been permitted to testi-
~, except as to confidential COM.
munications between himself and
wife. His testimony did not varv
from his written statement. lie
rendered it in tho lresence of bis
vie, Mr.. and Mrs, Becohcr, and the
whole court room. 1t was regular
ragged-edge day. Becchor, during
tho recess pronounced Tilton's story
"slimy slippery series of lies."
We submit that any man, who, in
