Presidential Aspirants

One by one tho Presidential asp,-
rants arc killed off. Bristow. the
great reformer, now comes in for his
turn. The following from the con-
gressional proceedings, explains tho
nature of the charges against him.
Cate, of Wisconsin, offered resolu-
tion reciting the charges made in
newspaper report affecting the official
conduct of B. III. Bristow, secretary
of tho treasury, in regard to tho re-
mission OF forfeiture in case Of tho bark
Mary Merritt seized in Milwaukee in
June, 1869, for violation of tho GUS
tom laws. The allegations arc
that an application for remission
of the forfeiture, that tho re-
port of the committee was approved
by tho thon secretary of the treasury,
Secretary William A, Richardson, that
on that hearing Mr.. Bristow appeared
as counsel for the owners of tho vessel
and after Mr.. Bristow became secreta
ry of the treasury, while tho judge
ment of forfeiture still remained un~
paid, the officer who made the seizure
was paid 81 900 as his moioty, on CON
dition that ho would cease further OPP
position to tho remission Of the for
foiture. that thoroupon Mr.. Bristow
was applied to for remission, and ro-
piled that he would do nothing him-
self, but that his private secretary
GOULD fix it up, and that the attorney
met tho secretary and had the forfeit
uro rcmittcd, and therefore instructing
tho committee on expenditures in the
treasury department to inquire into
the circumstances, and 10 ascertain on
what ground the judgement of forfeit
uro was remittcd and for what pur-
pose.

Dyer HfcJunkin.

The Gdyornor has commuted the
sentence of IDyor MoJunkin from
hanging to ten years at hard labor in
the Ponitentiary. This case is familiar
to all our people, and we dot feel it
necessary toroview it. The Governor
assigns the following reasons for his
action: ftu.l, -,.
The State vs. Dyer McJunkin-
murder-The Defendant was tried
and convicted of murder at the March
(1875) term of the court, for Pickens
County, and sentenced to bo hung.
His pardon is now asked for by
numerous persons who present the
case by five separative petitions, ag-
grogating in number fully one thou,
sand citizens of Pickens County.
Special statements of the caso in
support of the application for pardon
are mado by Hon. r. r. Bowen. and
ID. +. Bradley, Esq, Representative of
Pickens County, by Stephen D. Koith,
Clerk of the Court, ]. Riley Ferguson,
Sheriff, by Hon. w. G. Koith, Senator
for Oconee County and attorney for
tho Defendant, by r.. A. Childs, an
other of the attorneys for the Defend>
ant, and hy other officers and lead
ing citizens of Piclens County. A
special and favorable review of tho
case is likowiso made by William E..
Earle, Esq.
Ihavo carefully examined all the
papers submitted, and my conclusions
arc that | see no reason for holding
the verdict of the jury as unwarrantcd
by the facts, but that verdict Of
mansIaughter might perhaps have
been moro appropriate. Doubtless to
many minds there would have been
somo degree of doubt of tho guilt of
the Defendant upon the evidence, but
the jury heard all tho evidence us
presented by the witness, and | GER
tainly cannot question the correctness
of their conclusion.
His Honor Judge Cooke, who pro-
sided at the trial, and Mr.. Solicitor
Blythe, who prosecuted tho case for
the State, each join in q recommcn>
Gation that the sentence be c0mmuted
from death 10 Imprisonment for term
of years. These recommendations
under all the circumstances, seem to
mo conclusive as to my duty, and /
therefore decline to grant q pardon,
but commute tho sentence from death
TO imprisonment in tho State Poni>
tertiary at hn d labor for tho period
OF ten pcars.

An Old Trick.

"Jonnio" Cochran, in his Radical
convention in Anderson, got up res>
olution, and had it passed by his dus-
key dupes, to the effect that they rec~
commend no nominations for county
officers in the election of 1876, and
pledged themselves to vote for inde-
pendent Democrats. This is an old
trick by which Johnio pulled tho wool
over tho eyes of enough Democrats to
put him IN the Senate, where, with q
gusto, ho voted for the Infamous
Whipper for Judge of the First Cirr
cult This is favorite trick of the
Radicals in the upper counties whore
they are in tho minority They have
tried it several times in this County
but have mover been successful. They
will evidently try it again, but will
moro signally fail rs their rca! do
signcs have become moro apparent
TO tho people.

DeS~Judgc Carpenter, not satisfied
with the dlubbing Chamberlain gave
him in the convention, has written n
letter to the News & Courier roitera>
ting his charges and defending himself
against those brought against him by
Chamberlain. Tho Governor makes q
curt reply, in which he says, "thero is
better work for mo than Staying the
slaln." This is tho unkindcst cut OF
all.
