EDITORIAL NOTES.

| W III. uoVeTHOE IMAM Dcrlaln undertake
to swear that he has been elected Gov
ernOr Of South Carolina? Hc knows and
the world knows that he has not.
| just to think The Attorney Gen
eral, State Treasurer, Comptroller Cen
eral, Secretary of State and Adjutant and
Inspector General of South Carolina all
in Jail at once. That is select batch of
free boardcrs.
! Judge Bond is as bad RI Durell, and
his conduct richly deserves the condem.
nation of every American citizen, re-
gardless of party affiliations. Congress
will no doubt pay its respects to this
judicial Law breaker.
The Board of State Canvassers have
begun taking lessons in prison life rather
earlier than we expected. When they
treated the Supreme Court with CON
tempt they had better have f..iowcd
Leslie in his flight to unknown parts.
1t is either Democracy or dcspotism in
America The Republican party repre-
sents the fanaticism Of our nation, and it's
triumph is q victory which is achieved by
fraud. 1t will be death to our Constitu-
ton and defiance to the laws Of our coun-
try.
The gathering Of large portion Of the
army in Washington iorbodes 10 good
to the American people. 1t is not in
tended to seat Hayes, but only to be in
waiting to furnish the American Caesar
All opportunity of tralnpling upon the
Liberties of his people and perpetuating
his own power.
| Three Republican Judges on the Su-
prcme Bench have done their duty to
the whole country in Il noble manner,
and the Union Herald lis Illuminating over
their ingratitude to "the party" 1t for
gets that because men are elected TO
office by u party of thieves they are not
necessarily thieves themselves.
The people Of South Carolina owe a
debt of gratitude to the Judges Of the
Supreme Court for its independence and
patriotism in checking the flood of cleo
ton corruption, and bringing TO punish
ment the culprits who were endeavoring
to purloin the vote of this State for them
sclven and their vile companions.
Grant has used the army for the last
four years 20 perpetuate the infamies of
Southern Republcanism. He marched
his soldiers into the Capitol of Louisi-
ana and arrested Democratic Legisla-
tors two years ago, and is now concentra-
ting his army at Washington. Will he
dare arrest the Representatives of the
American people in the sacred halls ol
Congress?
The Executive Committee of tho Dem
ocratic party of South Carolina and their
counsel telegraphcd Chief Justice Waite,
. asking him to be present when the case
of the board OF State Canvassers was to
be heard on Wednesday. They desired
the highest judicial officer of the nation
to witness the infamies which are being
perpe::s:ed in the name of law in South
Carolina.
Judge Bryan claims that as the petit
tion for write of ha6eas corpus were di.
rected 20 the Circuit Court only, he
wonld not act. He ought not to have
lodged the issue by declining to act.
He is the District Judge of South Caro-
lima, with Circuit Court powers, and the
State, yes, the nation, had the right to
exnect his voice to be raised upon the
side Of law and justice.
Stonc the carpet-bagger, Cardozo the
carpet-bagger, Dunn the carpet-bagger,
Haync the carpct-bagger and Puryis the
carpet-bagger have received positive
proof OF South Carolina's ingratitude.
Their i'll strious services in trying to
keep the party of abstraction and a.cision
in power in this State have been re.
warded by free board in the county Jail
of Richlaud. The ingratitude of repub-
lies
The patriotism of our Nation will be
uorely tried before the present Prcsiden-
tial contest is decided, but VIC have faith
in the nobility Of our free institutions
and the integrity of our people. The
men of w-day are too proud of their
heritage and too devoted to liberty to
permit the government for which their
ancestors periled their lives one century
ago to be changed from glorious repub-
lie to despotism or monarchy.
An unknown person has been advising
and directing the Radicals in this State
for the past two weeks. Some people be-
lieve it has been Grant, but from the in
fernal nature Of the proceedings rcsorted
to by the leaders of the party, we believe
they have been getting cour =, from the
devil himself. No mortal scoundrel,
however accomplished, could have de-
,ipcd ways anu mru,s iur perprtrating
such enormous infamics upon our people.
Grant says that Chamberlain is un-
doubtedly the Governor until the new
Governor is inaugurated, and makes this
the excuse for giving him command OF
the army to preserve the peace. inere
was not any danger of q riot, and Grant
knew 1t. His action wac simply Intended
to enable Chamberlain to re-seat himself,
and set his pals at liberty in defiance to
the Orters of the Surname Court or tho
