South Carolina.

South Carolina is still enjoying the
luxury OF Radical negro rule, and its
fruits must be very bitter to the better
class of people Of the Palmetto State.
After having been mercilessly robbed
and bankrupted by set of thieving
carpet-baggers and ignorant negroes,
her cup OF bitterness has just been filled
again to overflOwing by the election by
the Legislature to Circuit Judgships,
two OF the most consummate villains in
the State, Ex-Governor Moses and @
most corrupt and incapable negro nam
ed Whipple. South Carolina is being
prepared by the Radicals for stepping
down and out from her present position
in the Republican ranks. She has
tested the merits of the dominant party
to her hearts content, and Governor
Chamberlain, who, although not by
any means perfect man, is still an
improvement on his predecessors since
the war, pronounces the election Of
those two scrundrels a disaster equally
great 10 the State and the Republican
party. When South Carolina has
thrown off her shackles, as she now
undoubtedly will, the South will pre-.
sent an unbrokcn front against Ra,li-
calism, unless bloody shirt" Morton
can manage to make it appear that
Mississippi's election was fraud, and
that that State must still be classed
with the Republicans. Philadelphia

BLAINE AND OTHER MEN BxRs.
New YORK, Dec. 21.-The Herald this
morning publishes the text of the con-
stitution of the Order of the American
Union, q secret order which, il is alleged
has been used for controlling elections
in the interest of President Grants ad-
ministration. 1t alleges that President
Grant and Postmaster General Jewell
are members of the order. besides many
others prominent in politics. 1t ais,
asserts that the order is in the hands of
Grant and Blaine, and has for its aim a
decided and persistent social and politi-
cal war upon all Roman Catholics in the
country. IL opposes the extension OF the
Church of Rome, prevents Catholic clti-
zens from holding office, and works gen.
orally IN favor of re-electing President
Grant, who will be run by the order for
a third term. A large number of post
masters and custom house. officers are
said to be members OF the order. Presi-
dent Grant and Speaker Blaine We're
initiated privately. The Herald claims
that the order is stupendous political
organization. The constitution OF the
order opposes the division of the school
fund. pledges members to sustain a re-
publican form of government, and to
repel the aggressions of Romanism. The
order was organized in 1867 with the
avowed purpose of disfranchising Ro-
man Catholics. Its national government
is called the Senate. while the State or
garizations, are styled Legislatures and
these latter are divided into subocdi-
nate councils.

TRE RAsCALLY SAVINGS BANKS

How they Operate I'm New York.
The first savings banks chartered by
the State were only allowed to invest
deposits In bond and mortgage on real
estate of double the amount of the
value Of the amount loaned, or in
bonds of the United States or the
State of New York. Gradually, how
ever, q greater license in regard to in.
vestments crept in, and finally general
acts were past in regard to institutions
in this city and Brooklyn, which au.
thorized the right to invest in stocks
of any State in the Union, or any
country city or town in the State
Thus we have some of our broken
banks with Alabama bonds worth
three cents on the dollar among their
assets. The losses that are now upon
us show conclusively that the license
given by such general provisions and
in special charters is dangerous. The
poor who imagined the State was their
protector long after it had virtually
given up its office have been plunder-
ed. We say that the old conservative
ideas under the reign of which the
savings banks of the State lost only
500, 900 to their depositors during a
term of fifty years should once more
hold sway and the Government should
so regulate the investment of deposits
that it would be impossible to squan-
der them in high salaries, costly build
ings of wild cat securities. 1t is a plain
fact that savings banks with modern
charters do not save, and saving insti-
tutions have been set up in the COM
munity without any characteristic of a
savings bank but the name. AS for
the mismanagement by bank officials,
it is matter so patent that no COM
ment upon it is necessary.

Mr., kerr's Liberality in his Appoint

Notwithstanding the unfairness with
which the Republican Senate acted in
forming its committees, Mr.. Kerr has
gwen the Republicans the exact proper.
tion Of members on committees to which
they were entitled.
The same sense Of justice and fair
dealing is apparent in the selection OF
members from that minority as in the
proportiouate number given them. The
two foremost Republican members, Mr..
blaine and Mr.. Garfield, are assigned to
the leading Committee of Ways and
Means, and the ablest infationist Of the
House as well as the nostinvetsrate pro-
tectionist Mr. Kelley of Pennsylvania.
is sent to keep them company, which is
certainly dealing fairly by the party of
Imitation and Protection. In the other
committees there is the same scrupulous
selection Of the tttest and ablest men of
the minority, and il the smaller commit
tees as in the Larger they are allowed
their fair proportionate number.
In House comprising so maay new
members i. Is impossible that any one
should now be a competent critic OF the
Speakers choice in respect to those
members who still haNe their proofs to
make. No one has had opportunity or
reason for collecting so much informa-
tion as the Speaker has collected to the
end of discharging this difficult duty
Judiciously and wisely. The work of the
session can alone prove whether the best
disposition of his working material has
been made by the Speaker or not.
But in the distribution of the mem.

already been manifest to the country by
their conduct In preceding Congresses
