JUDGE THOMPSON H.. COOKE, who
is stumping South Carolina for
Hampton, is one of the most con-
spicuous Republicans in the State,
and was reelected Circuit Judge
last winter for a term of four years,
by Republican votes. The reason
that he gives for supporting Hamp-
ion is. that the State administra-
ton is SO UNANIMOUSLY corrupt that
it is incapable of publication with
out a change Of parties. Having
been an active member Of the Re-
publican party, he is thoroughly
acquainted with its abuses Of power
in South Carolina, and in a recent
speech at Camden, he made some
interesting revelations. After ex-
posing Chamberlain responsibility
for the enormous frauds committed
duringScott' administration Judge
Cooke related to his hearers, among
other things, how Chamberlain
once received the sum of $4,000.
to bride a Judge Of the Supreme
Court, and showed his desire to
maintain the purity of the judiciary
by retaining the bride in his own
pocket. lie also said that the Gov
ernor recently bought of his former
confederate, ex-T Treasurer Parker,
all the papers that the latter had
which implicated him in fraudu-
lent transactions; but that the willy
Parker outwitted his brother car

them to leave his possession III

probable that he will be, notwith-
standing the military occupation Of

each others paths in the pursuit of

history affords no instance of a States

no wonder. The BLACKS ~irritate the
whites, and words come to blows. One
sided accounts Of the ARRAYS are reeeiv
ed, and the black is a martyr and the
white a demon. Cool reflection, how
ever, tells a different story. Some time
ago the Republican papers were teeming
with accounts OF the massacre of ne
groes at New Hamburg, 10 which the
negroes were represented as lambs. In
vestiga,ion proved them to be to blame.
Now the same party organs are silent
about the massacre of six whites at
Cainhoy and the assassination of several
eUlored Democratic voters BY colored
Republicans. These facts only show a
determination on the part Of Grant and
his friends to carry South Carolina. one
the few Southern States the Republi-
command. 1t is to be hoped they
will meet retributiou.

The work done by the Democrats
in the present campaign up to thii
time, says the Pittsburg Post, has
been we'll done, and the results show
what organization and vigilance can
do for the people. As we have al
along urged, the more. the people
are aroused to consider and ref ct
upon the past conduct of the Re-
publican administration and to ap-
preciate the vast difference between
Republican rule and honest rule
such Gs Democrats will bring about,
the larger will be the Democratic
Yote. If this were not 50, vs should
indeed almost despair Of the re-
public; but it is SO, and this is the
surest evidence that we arc right.
Be sure that you are right, then 20
ahead We approve of this old
Crockett motto. We know that We
are right in opposing national
extravaganza, public corruption,
Inscriptions o1ice-holders and
heartless oppression Of thousands of
our citizens and all these. and
more, belong to the Republican
party, as it now stands arraigned.
Instead of holding up its hand and
truthtuIly and penitently saying
guilty" it holds up I'll: bloody
shirt, bawls out @rebel," and
keeps on stealing. There is more
work for the Democracy, and we
can work with a vim, for every man
with half an eye can see that it
pays. 1t pays to talk to the people
when You can persuade them to step
up to the polls and vote. It paid
in West Virginia, in Ohio and in
Indiana. In Indiana Democratic
work has taken a whole State out
Of the hands of bloody-shirt Nor
ton, and placed it in the broad
palm of another man, Hendricks.
We say "well done to the Demo-
cratic organization and its working
leaders. One more long pull and
strong pull among the people, and
November will ring the final knell
OF Grahtism and Radicalism.
