There is another hopeful piece of news
from South Carolina. Gov. Chamberlain ap-
pointed Judge Thomas j. Mackey to investi-
gate the continually recurring troubles in
Edgefe.d County. Judge Mackey is one of
the ablest and most ontspOken Republicans in
the South, and has received many marks of
favor from the State and Federal Admins
tration. lie lays the blame chiefly upon the
gross abuses in the county government, and
declares that the habit of colored militia
officers in calling ont armed men for the SGT
tlement of personal quarrels between whites
and blacks is o means of oppression and a
prime cause of disorder. The same Wow was
presented in special correspondence of TIE
TRIBUNE several months ago, and applies to
nearly all the disturbances of the peace that
have occurred in South Carolina during the
last tour years. BY abating the militia nui
sance Gov. Chamberlain may give another
evidence of the sincerity OF his professions of
n desire for reform and We are inclined TO
think ne will do so. Reform in the county
governments can be effected only through q
restoration Of the intelligence and properly of
the State to power.
