EX-HoN. MYER STRoUsE is, or. more
properly speaking, was a great favorite
Washington. The reason for this is that
while ne was in Congress he was 'leaky,"
and gave information regarding caucus
proceedings and other political affairs to
every one who approached him. Now he
appears as Speaker Kerr's witness, and, as
might have been expected, is leaky. He
betrays the fact that-from his standpoint
to enable a friend to make money he
recommended the appointment of Mr..
Green to be lieutenant in the regular
army. This confession recalls the fact
that another Democrat is on trial, under
impeachment charges, before the Senate
for doing the same thing.

A FEW years since a victim was de-
mauded in the House of Represent Ttives,
and Hon. B. F. Whittemore, of South
Carolina, was unceremoniously dismissed
from Congress for accepting compensation
for cadetship, which money he expended
in the erection of school houses for the ben
eft of the unfortunate colored children Of
his county. For years the Democratic
press has beel hirping upon this act of
MIR. Whittsmore's, but they have recently
been furnished themes upon which to ate
in the questionable transactions of Pendle-
ton, Kerr, and others, who pocketed their
money. and never expended it in the lauda
BILE enterprise which characterized the out
lay of the South Carolinian. Mr.. White
more's course as a true and unfinching
Republican has greatly endeared him to
the masses of his State, and, should he de
sire it, his friends would gladly return him
to either house of COngr ess.

GOVERNOR cHAMBERLAINs EXECUTIVE
ABILITY

About three weeks since six colored men
were arrested on suspicion of having COM
mitted murder in Edgefeld county, s. c.,
and were visited by masked men and shot
to death. Governor Chamberlain has
offered no reward for the perpetrators of
the deed, and doubtless congratulates him
self that the Republican majority will be
lessened against him this fall when he be-
comes a "bolting" candidate for Gov
ernor. The following account of the
shooting is clipped from the Columbia
CniCB Herald:
"At the first vollev all fell except Stephen
Lake, who remained standing few seconds
longer than his comrades. In less than half
minute, however, from the time the firing
commenced all were on the ground. The
firing was kept up at intervals for some fifteen
or twenty minutes, when the crowd left the
bodies to be taken care of by others. Soon
number Of negroes went to see the bodies of
the dead, and returned in q little while, re-
porting that one of them, Austin Davis, was
not dead. Afterwards some three or four
shots were heard in that direction, and when
the place was visited late in the evening 1t was
observed that Austin Davis head was shot to
pieces. At this early hour, owing to the
warm weather, the flies had begun to gather
about the corpses. On Thursday, during
the day, some few negroes visited
the place, and guarded the bodies
until night, when they were afraid to
remain longer. Friday the decaying bodies
were SO offensive that no one remained with
them, but in the afternoon five negroes came,
dug pit and buried them all in one grave,
without collins. The grave was some eight
feet long, and near the spot where they paid
the forfeit Of their crime, and was wide enough
for tthree to lie in the bottom side by side.
Their feet were put together and the heads of
the other three were put in the opposite end of
the grave, their legs and feet being on top of
the three first put in. The dirt was thrown
upon them, and a mound now stands where
those beneath so lately stood in life.
"The jury labored assiduously for q week,
and the result in ferreting out Offenders in this
short time is Perfectly wonderful, and it is be-
Heved by some If the jury had taken q recess
on Wednesday instead of adjourning, their
lIbors would have been rewarded by still
further discoveries. There seems to be little
doubt that a man by the name OF Cheatham,
and another ty the name of Chiles, were pres
ent at the murder of Mr.. and Mrs. Harmon.
The parties whom the jury found guilty of
bGiDg accessories were present aiding, abet-
ting and participating in the robbery"
National Republican., 1876-06-05

a FEW NIGHTS ago two Liberal epub-
iicans called upon Bob Toombs at the Ma
tional. After the compliments of the
evening were passed, one of the gentleman
added II have read your speeches with
"great interest before the war. I was in
"hopes to see you back with US here in
Congress. By the way, why don't you
task for pardon3" This was too much
for Toombs. He elevated his feet above
bis head and thus delivered himself: ga
pardon God d-n the pardon. What
'have l done to ask pardon for? Ask
pardon of set of d-n thieves, who
"robbed me of all had, freed my negroes
"and reduced my section to beggary ?"
This was too much for one of the Liberals,
and he replied holly, "You old rebel vii
lain. you ought years since to have been
"hanged for treason" Exit Liberals. and
the unterrified Georgian was left alone to
ruminate upon the improbability of his
being able ever to call the roll of his slaves

A CENTENNIAL FRAUD.


Gov. Chamberlain and his proselytes
have been for months palming themselves
upon credulous public as genuine ere
formers" Indeed. so effectually has he
succeeded in his villaiuies that score or so
of reputable newspapers have been in
duced to support his pretentious claims.
The deniZens of Columbia, who have for
years been watching his antics. know that
be is fraud of the first water. They re-
member the necessItous adventurer when
he first came among them, with patched
army blanket coat on. They remember
him in connection with the land commits
sion swiDdle, and the conversion bond"
frauds, when the State was defrauded out
of millions of dollars, with nothing to show
for it but the notorious He'll Hole swamp,
the abode of alligators and snakes. They
also remember the time when one of the
embryo "reformer's" children died, and SO
great was his prejudice to his own race
that he was only appeased by having the
last sad rites performed over Its remains by
by colored preacher named Harris. They
have not forgotten how he was wont to
entertain at his board such boon COM
panions as Moses, Whipper and others,
whose acquaintance he cut after they had
elevated him to power. The fact
is Chamberlain has succeeded in
accomplishing nothing save in srraying the
entire strength of the party against him.
1t is true he refused to commission Moses
and Whipper, but in less than ten days
thereafter he signed the "bonanza" bill, q
huge swindle, whereby the treasury was
robbed of over $500, 900. In addition to
this great wrong upon the State, be lobbied
bill through the General Assembly, pro-
viding for partial redemption of the bills
of the Bank of the State" bankrupt in
stitution, which had supported the Charles
ton and Columbia aristocracy for years be-
fore the war. In this latter transaction the
State loses heavily, and no one has been
benefited save Chamberlain and one of his
clients in New York, who bolds a large
amount of these notes. And yet this noisy,
pretentious adventurer has actually con-
spired to deliver the honest yeomanry of
the Republican party of South Carolina
over to the tender mercies of the Ku kIux-
klaRs, to the end that he may be elevated
TO seat in the United States Senate. For
unblushing effrontery and unmitigated vii
lsiny commend us to Chamberlain.
National Republican., 1876-06-05

THEadventurous English carpet-bsgser,
F. W. Dawson, editor of Chamberlain s
Charleston organ, the NeDs and Oou Ter,
was recently snubbed by the Democratic
convention at Columbia. Dawson con
ceived the idea Of representing the State
at St. Louis, and the better to enable hin
to be elected a delegate, he wrote and
caused to be distributed In the convention
his autobiography, recounting in homsly
prose his many exploits by land and sea.
But the descendants of the Hanptoas,
Tharirs. and Pinckneys could not toler-
ate the idea Of having nu INSCRIPTIONS for.
eien hIlow Ike Dawson represent the
South Carolina aris'0cricy in any cap icity,
and The consequence was he was defeated
as delegate by large majority. As
might have been expected, this has made
Dawson very sore, and his paper no longer
National Republican., 1876-06-05

emphatically displayed his true colors. he
tried to counteract his gushing speech on the
Centennial by denouncing at wholesale the
Yankees, and condemning the North at retail
in general. He was among his constituency,
and deemed this course necessary in order to
secure renominstion. He urged the neces-
sity. OF the practice of duplicity on the part of
the South until 1t obtained full control of the
National Government, and then 1t could do as
1t pleased. 1t probably will not do as 1t
pleases, however, for a number of years to
come. r
All sorts of yariegated air castles are being
constructed in these days of political specu-
lation and excitement. The press is rife with
the widest statements respecting the coming
nominees at Cincinnati and St. Louis. Every
body seems to have different opinion from
everybody else, and many are the preposterous
and ridiculous theories that are presented for
the consideration of the public. Now and
then very plausible rumors are set afioat, and
among them we notice one which is worthy
particular attention. It Is said that there Is q
feeling rapidly growing in favor of the nomi-
nation of ex Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania,
for the Pres idency, who has record for hon.
esty, ability and Republican loyalty to which
the party can turn with unbounded pride.
Scott and Hayes, or Scott and some other
good man bearing as pure and uncullied q
record as the Ohio statesman, would sound
harmoniously, and send thrill of enthusiasm
North and West such as would insure success
in the coming struggle. Is ex-senator Scott
the great unknown?

ABOUT A YEAR ago Chamberlain induced
Judge Mackey to liberate ex-Treasurer
Niles G.. Parker from the Columbia jail on
bogus writ Of habsas corpus. Since that
time Mackey has been unsparing In his
demands upon the "reformer." In sew
ersl instances he has forced the Governor
to pardon convicts from the peniteniiary to
give evidence against Mackey' political enc
mics. Judge Northrop has put stop to this
outrage by delivering the following opin-
ion on a recent occasion when q convict
named Lilley was brought into his court
to testify against Hon. B. G. Yocom:
"Under no circumstances can the Court
tolerate so great a wrong. Justice becomes a
mockery when Executive clemency is thus in
yoked. Moses, with all his faults, never Of
fered penitentiary convict his liberty as an
inducement to have him testify against an
honest citizen. The witness Lilley will be
taken from the presence of the Court, and the
sheriff will at once discharge. the prisoner s.

ONE of Governor Chamberlain intimate
friends, the treasurer of Edgeield county,
has left for parts unknown, and the people
Of that county refuse to be comforsed, be-
cause he took with him $35, 900 of county
funds. We will wager that Chamberlain
and his henchman, Cardozo, used the m ost
CT the missing fund in speculative schemes.
and then, by threats, forced the treasurert to
absent himself. We have written to South
Carolina for particulars, aud will veutilate
the whole affair when we get in possession
of all the facts in the case.

THE Ishmaelite who edits the New York
Sun has again vindicated his right to this
coEnomen. When Judge Pierrepont en-
tered the Cabinet we recorded the fact that
the Sun spoke well of him. We did not
see how it could last, and it didn't. He
now accuses the Minister to England of
having sold himself to secure this acme of
his ambition. Oh, dear! Twas ever thus
since Brook Farm failed and the Irish emi-
grant lamented the loss of his famine fund.

WHILE George William Curtis attempts
10 show, through Harper's Weekly, that
Senator Conkling is machine" politi-
clan, and that he is the New York Custom
house candidate for something or another,
it appears that Curtis has been favored with
more appointments of friends to office in
the aforesaid Custom house than Mr. Conk-
ling. This fact simply suggests the idea
that the immaculate George William is,
after all a machine man.
