The Contest for the Mayoralty i
Charleston.

A spirited contest is going on in
Charles between the friends of thu
opposing candidates for the mayoralty
Cunningham and Wagner. The former
is supported by the Mackey clique, and
the latter by the Bowenites, whilst the
Conservative vote will be divided. The
Germans support Wagner, but the po
tent influence of the Charleston NeaUs q
Courier is exerted in favor Of Cunning
ham.
That journal, we think, makes very
strong showing in behalf of the coop.
Grafton of the Conservatives and Inde-
pendent Republicans, as the only means
of relieving the city from the control OF
the Bowen faction and the worst conse-
ouences of Radical rule. Singly the
Conservatives can effect nothing, and il
union be necessary, it must be with
those whose past record affords the best
guarantees for the future. The triumph
of Bowen would be the triumph of
Whipper as Circuit Judge at the next
election, and the assured triumph of an
faction. If one-half that
the Neaus &. Courier says in behalf of its
csuse be worthy of consideration, we do
npt see how any good citizen can hesi-
tate 10 taking sides. Distance may OBJ
scuEe our vision, however,

The Cardozo and Dunn Controversy

A very spirited epistolary controversy
has just been ended between Treasurer
Cardozo and Comptroller-General Dunn
with regard to the affairs of the Carroll.
ma Bank and Trust Company Of which
the latter was appointed Receiver. The
whole affair seems to have been prompt.
ed by personal feeling; and elimination
and recrimination from the staple OF
the controversy,
Comptroller Dunn, 1t will be recollec.
ted, led the fight against the Treasurer
in the Legislature last Winter, and the
Comptroller himself has his own little
grievances to redress. The Treasurer
charges the Comptroller with being g
friend of Hardy Solomon, the late
President of the Bank, and with using
his position to smother up an investiga-
ton and thus protect Solomon. Dunn
avows his willingness to make show
ing, but refuses to give any information
to the Treasurer, whom he regards as
all officious intermeddler.
So epithets are banded through q
half dozen letters, and no light Is
thrown upon the only question in
which the public have any interest
the condition of the Bank and the
causes which brought about the catas-
trophe. Perhaps after so much wrang-
ling we will in the end obtain the de-
sired information.

Southern Democrats and National Con.
ventions. = ~ ~. q: g.

The New York Herald is spe culating
as to the probable course Of Southern
Democrats in the next National Con-
vention. 1t is led to these reflections
by the power possessed, during the last
four years, by Southern Republieanssin
moulding, shaping and driving the had
ical machine. The Herald says;
"It has been singular spectacle in
Washington to see handful Of mentan
political adventures, with no solid
influence in their States, with constants
ly diminishing political power there:
and unable last year to carry more than
swo out:of the twelve Southern Statesys-
to see this handful of Southern Rephb.
licans control the great body Of their
fellow partisans in Congress by merely
presenting solid and unbroken front
of opposition to all reforms which
would affect them, united with an un-
hesitating and unquestioning support of
all the pet schemes of their Northern
friends" In the Republican caucuses
last Winter every proposed reform was
chokedby the opposition Of the South
ern men: and these were the leaders;
Cue SpcdhcTS, lllt hCtOIS, CIle COllQueTOTS.
in every caucus or other meeting for
private consultation held by the Repub-
licans during the Winter. They sue
ceeded not more by their misrepresenta-
tions of Southern affairs and their ap-
peals for support, than by their super
serviceable zeal in abettiug the schemes
of their Northern allies, which enabled
them readily to divide the Northern
men of their party. That they will
pursue similar tactics in the next Ma.
tional Convention and thus control, If
they can, its policy, if not its nomina'
tions, there can be little doubt; though
the fact that they will come up as the
representatives of States which they
cannot carry, and all but two of which
are sure to 20 Democratic, will doubtless
weaken their power"
Hence, the South, according to the
Herald, will exercise predominatinp
influence in the next Democratic con
vention, though she will likely concede
the candidates to the North and insist
on principles. We think that if the
South is to be at all represented modes
ty as well as true policy will dictate The
true propriety Of taking back seat
There is still SO great prejudice exist
ing against even repentant rebels, tina
they should shun prominence.

HARrER's WEEKLY, which for big
oted advocacy of Radicalism is without
a peer, has the good sense to see that
Know-Nothingism is losing game,
and apropos Of the movement in Mary
land and elsewhere, thus talks to Its
"Potato-bug" friends; "ln this country,
however, secret political associations are
unnecessary and suspicious. What can
not be done openly in such matters
should not be done at all, and the man
who proposes secrecy presumptively
means mischief. They breed only mis-.
chief, and the American who will not
openly declare bis opposition to an open
foe IL a very suspicious and doubtful
character, who deserves to be watched,
lest he be caught doing the dirty work
of the enemy.n

The Murder Of Crews.

Washington Schell and Mr.. Walter
Schell, of Laurens County, have been
arrested for completely in the murder Of
Joe Crews. They are the brother and
nephew of DR.. Schell, who was murder.
ed in Laurens County in 1873. The
murderers of DR.. Schell, were supposed
to be negroes, but nothing definite was
known until month or two ago, when
two negroes made confession that they
were with the party who killed DR..
Schell, that the party was led by a son
of Joe Crews, and that Joe Crews
planned and directed the murder. The
son of Joe Crews was arrested and after.
wards released on giving his own re.
for $500, and the negroes
made counter-affidavits, stating that
their confession had been obtained bv
bribery and intimidation, and that
Crews had nothing to do with the mur.
der.
. Since then Pink Smith, who was in
the Jail with Parks and Sullivan, swears
that he heard them in conversation
make the same charges against Crews
that they subsequently made in their
affdavits. Charles Means, also q pris-
oner, testifies that he heard Parks tell
Sullivan that he was with the party
that killed DR.. Schell; that the attack
ing party, after the murder, scattered
and came together the next day in Lau-
rens. when Parks was paid twenty dol
lars for his services, and some others
were paid as much as sixty dollars.
Means also swears that no violence or
threat was used to induce Parks to make
his confession. Sheriff Southern, of
Greenville, says that Parks made his
confession in the presence of number
of gentlemen voluntarily.
So we have statement and counter
statement. Crews declared on his death
bed that he was innocent of the murder
of DR.. Schell, and we suppose no sensi-
BILE man in Laurens believes that the
Shells were concerned in the murder of
Crews.

BISHOP HOWES VISIT.

During the past week, Bishop w. B.
w. Howe, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of South Carolina made his an.
nual visit to this Parish, and conducted
an interesting series of religious services
in Trinity Church, The Bishop is in
excellent health, and preached with his
usual force and eloquence. He came
unattended by other ministers, and con-
Quoted the services alone, but is fully
equal to the demands made upon him.
On Friday morning he preached an ear
nest and impressive sermon from Pro-
verbs l6: xxxii, "He that ruleth his
spirit, &C." showing the greatness of
the victory obtained, the obstacles
which oppose, and the agencies by
(which the work is accomplished: and
again an excellent sermon on Saturday
morning in which he set forth Ithe
indifference and inattention which con-
stant familiarity with sacred things is
apt to produce. ss.s .sssj,sss.s. =
On Sunday morning tsle Bishop
preached an able sermon from 2 Samuel,
|j2: xvii, "And Nathan said unto David,
thou art the man." in which he present.
ed q striking view of Davidis enormous
sin, his deserved punishment, and sim
cere repentance. After the sermon, the
rite of confirmation was administered to
five Young ladies, in addressing whom
the Bishop said, that more interesting
class had never presented themselves be-
fore him, and that he was the more graf
flied as they had come up in vacant
Parish, aud without ministerial aid.
The services were touching in the ex-
treme. Here were five beautiful young
ladies arrayed in snowy vestments,
kneeling as candidates at the altar,
whilst the man of God pronounced up
on their heads earnest benedictions
for spiritual guidance, in formsof words
which have come down from Apostolic
days. The communion was then ad-
ministered to an unusually large attend
ance of worshippers,
In the afternoon the Bishop preached
from John IL: xi, "Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth,n and gave q clear exposition
of the Scripture teachings eS to the con-
dition of the believers in the world OF
departed spirits prior to the resurrection.
The services were all of an interesting
character and were especially so as the
congregation has been so long without
the ministrations of pastor.
We are pleased to learn that arrange
ments will soon be made for getting a
pastor for Trinity Church, and gather
ing the scattered sheep once more into
the fold. The church has the means oil
securing suitable minister. and of sus.
tanning him, and the numbers generally
are fully alive to the necessity of keep
ing up their stated, weekly services
They are prepared to give new pastor
al cordial welcome.
