TIE TRUE INwARDNEss OF GOVERN

TIE TRUE INwARDNEss OF GOVERN
OR CHAMBERLAIN's REFoRM.-Senator
Morton, of Indiana, the original, and un-
til lately, the sole proprietor of the
ssbloody shirt" and all its appendages,
who is now varying the drama by seek
ing 10 investigate the late election in
Mississippi, recently became alarmed at
what he considered the rapid march of
Gov. Chamberlain to the Democratic
camp. To be sure the Senator has some
reason for his misgivings, in the fact that
the Governor had turned the cold shoulder
on some of his party thieves and sought
for a time the companionship of honest
men. So must have thought the Govern
or, for he hastens, on the 18th of this
month, to write long letter to the Sen
ator to prove that, while trying to be
honest, he was no less Republican, 10y
al to the party, its past and its present,
and, with only one object in view, its SUI
premacy in South Carolina. In spite of
the difficulty of the task, We think the
Governor has convinced the Senator; for
if there can be more contempt expressed
for q party than the Governor shows for
the Democracy of South Carolina, we
shall not believe it till We see it.
This is the gentleman whom some white
men in our sister State delight to honor.
This is the man who 'alone stands be-
tween the people and ruin" This is the
coming deliverer of the State-and for
whatS"to make South Carolina and
keep her as safely Republican as Vermont
and Iowa." so that it shall be doubtful
whether even national issues shall have
force enough to induce canvass of the
State for the Democratic candidates in
the coming Presidential campaign" and,
he might have added, "any other" In
short to consign South Carolina to per-
petual vessalage controlled by Chamber
lain, his successors and assigns. If the
Governor thought success possible with
ont reform, we have q right to nay, judg-
inc from his record as South Carolina,
politician, it would not have been at
tempted, and he was only driven to it to
''save the State"
Let the good people of South Carolina
read and reflect long and seriously. Our
hearts and sympathies are with our
neighbors, but their deliverance must
come through themselves alone. AS for
ourselves; we have nothing to take back,
and our course in the future now seems
clearer than ever. There are no compli-
cations or entangling alliances in fight
ing for principle.-Augista Constitution

big-mustached, staggering Judge Carpenter
in charge of carpet-bag interests at the Capt.
tai. Carpenter is unquestionably second in
command of South Cnrolina carpet-baggers,
and he but acted as Chamberlain's ieuten-
ant in the ill-stared Union Reform campaign
of 1870.
By conducting the judicial elections as
they did, the carpet-baggers aimed to accom-
plish three objects. First, to re-elect the
rotten Judges whose seats were vacant.
Second, to defeat the reelection of the good
and able Judge Maher, because they were
tired of hearing him called ''the just"
Third, to manufacture carpet-bag capital
generally, but especially to make provision
for debating terms about admitting Cham
berlain, Carpenter and few other pet car
pet-baggers into the Democratic camp with
honors. Accordingly, a alog-rolling election
for Judges was held to which Judge Maher's
friends were not invited. Four Judgeships
those of Shaw, Reed, Cooke and Carpenter
were assumed to be vacant when there
was no vacancy. The corrupt and ignorant
supporters Of Whipper and Moses who fond
ly imagined they were making sure of the
election of their favorites to the bench, were
only used TO defeat Judge Maher, then to
secure tho reelection of the rotten Judges
whose terms had expired, and, lastly, to
promote other important designs of Cham
berlain & Co. in the future.
A Circuit Judge in South Carolina ls O
constitutional not statutory officer. The
constitution provides that he shall hold
office for four years. but if he should die,
resign, remove from the State, or otherwise
va,,ato his office before the expiration of his
term, then, if less period than one year OF
his term remains, the Governor may appoint
to fill the unexpired term, but if the Gov
ernor fail to appoint for such uneXpired
term, or if the unexpired term be for q
longer period than one year, then in either
case the Legislature shall elect an incum-
bent, and in oil cases where the Legislature
elects the Judges hold their office for four
years. AS Judges Reed and Shaw were not
appointed by the Governor but were elected
by the Legislature, they are legally and con-
stitutionally Circuit Judges of South Caroli-
ma for four years from the date Of their re-
spective commissions, no matter how their
commissions read. Neither the Governor
nor the Legislature can change the tenure of
an officer when prescribed by the constltu-
tion. The constitution itself must be

specimens of which I have never in my
lifetime beheld. People, it is said, can
get used to anything; so I suppose if
such an outrage as this was perpetrated
upon the taxpayers, they would do as
they have done heretofore, and fork up
the cash.
The Appropriation bill has passed
second reading in the House. 1t appro-.
pirates 81 100000 to meet the current e1-
penses of the State Government, together
with the interest on the public debt.
The tax levy, you will remember, was
passed before the Christmas recess. Upon
basis of this levy the taxes were col
lected. You will remember, also, that
there was bitter contest over this bill
between the Governor and the Conserva-
tives on one side, and the Radicals on
the other, and that settlement was only
arrived at by threatened use of the
veto power. Now, when it is necessary
to appropriate the money so collected to
the various uses of the government,
5000, 900 more are expended than will be
collected when all the taxes are paid in !;
which will leave deficiency of that
amount to be carried over to the next
year, and which will have to be provided
for by another bonanza. 1t may not be
generally understood, but bonanza of
this kind is bonanza sure enough to the
leaders of the Radical party. To expend
simply what has been collected is plain
sailing-too plain, in fact, for these mod
ern legislators. Hence its popularity.
The principal feature, however, in the
Appropriation bill is the entire lack of
aid it, in all its features, affords to the
white people. Notwithstanding such an
enormous amount is wrung from the i'm
poverished and oppressed taxpayers,
not dollar of it is so expended as to re-
turn an equivalent to those who pay it.
Take the items of the bill, and judge
yourselves of the truth of the assertion.
$3.50, 900 are appropriated for the use of
public schools. Now, how much of this
returns into the pockets of the taxpayers
of Anderson County, for instance? About
s2,5OO only. $4,000 are given to the
| S. G. University, in which there are about

ment by the Legislature. The Governor
has command Of the militia and of the
whole physical force of the State, because
he is charged with having all the laws fifth
fully enforced. Suppose the Supreme Court
by mandamus were to order the Governor
to commission Moses and. Whipper and he
were 70 laugh at the writ, what would or
could the usurping Court do except stand
with its finger in its mouth in helples, i'm
beciIty? AS it is presumed there is some
physical power in the State to enforce every
writ or law, and as the Supreme Court has no
control over any such power, the absurdity of
the Court presuming to order the Governor
to do anything is apparent at once. Are
mems memories so short that they have
forgotten while Judge-Governor Moses dis
graced the gubernatorial chair, it WAS at
tempted to indict and punish him in cir
cult court for embezzlement of public funds,
and the court held (rightfully, too) that the
Governor while in Office is not amenable to
the process of any judicial tribunal, even
for any crime he commits, until after he has
first been convicted by impeachment OF the
Legislature.
Il is manifest, therefore, that the carpet
baggers never intended Moses and Whipper
should 20 on the bench; never intended.
that Chamberlain should attempt to install
them in office, for he could not do SO if he
would, unless he is prepared to set himself
up as Dictator. The election was mere
mockery as to Moses and Whipper, ard was
designed to frighten timid Democrats into
another coalition with Radical leaders In the
approaching canvass. Particularly was it
intended to manipulate the juggling judicial
election in such q manner as to excite the
admiration and gratitude of the Democratic
masses toward tie great, the good reiormer
Governor for refusing to commit perjury
and otherwise violate the law.
Accordingly, when the co1nmander-in,
chief returned to Columbia well pleased
with the tactics of his bullying lieuEenant
in his absence, he raised his hands and eyes
to Heaven in puritanical horror, and sent
forth three manifestoes to an excited, an
indignant and admiring world. Fist, he
proclaimed in burning words that he would
not commission Moses and Whipper because
of the illeyality of their election and OH
account of their infamous characters. Sec
ond. ho announced to friendly newspaper
reporter who was conveniently at hand,
that it was time to organize the Democratic
party, pure and simple, as the only hope OF
sovin,y the State from ruin. He also intima-
ted that in return for this act the party when
Tins Organized could afford to make him its
standard bearer, and to vote for such otner
honest and capable Radicals as he might
nominate. Third he flashed over the wires
to the New England Society, of Charleston,

A PLAIN QUESTION.

The New York San. has happily discov
cred that there is another cause for the
depression of industry besides an "irre
deemable currency" 1t confesses that SIT
Is the weight Of State, county and NUM-
clpal taxation that now hangs like mill
stone about the neck Of the nation" II
ought to have included Federal taxation
also. 1t adds: Men decline enterprises
Of industry, here, there and everywhere
because they fear the taxes that confront
them"
This ls All indisputable fact; aud YET
what are the bullionists Of the Sun stripe
doing Calling for contra1 ton and ere.
sumption, depressing and shrinking all
values, and actually doubling these taxes
on industry by doubling the purchasing
power Of the interest paid And it il
upon such blind guides that the Republi-
can and Democratic parties depend.
AS these debts we're contracted under
an " imitation currency, is it not just that
principal and interest should be paid in q
currency of the same value OF purchasing
power as that borrowed Most assuredly
And yet all the bullion organs are working
persistently IN favor of the money power,
and against the interests of industry.
Again " Although money is plenty and
goes begging, yet enterprise Aags. Capt.
talists are everywhere hiding their money
in secret loans, or putting it into govern
ment securities, to avoid taxation. 1t re-
fuses to come out into the light Of open
day in the shape of bricks and mortar, and
spindles and Touring mills; IN iron smelt-
ing, forging or rolling; in coIleries and
mines, and all the thousand forms Of visi-
bic occupation and investment
A whole column is devoted to the pic
ture of the disastrous effect Of taxation,
and it is confessed that when taxation
becomes 30 great as to destroy or menace
the existence of diversified industry
among US, our complete bankruptcy is not
very far of" Is not all this q virtual
surrender Of the argument that 'resump-
ton Is the one thing needful
The picture of the Sun is suggestive,
and brings forth the idea Would it not
be better for this perishing people to 20
into general bankruptcy ON all public in
debtedness : Are the people or the bond
holders most worth preserving Ia there
