and judicial appropriation bill, reported
that the corlmtttee had been unable to

M. c. Butler, who was connected in the
Hamburg affair, would be chairman
OF committee to receive him. Let
Tilden be elected President by the
votes Of honest people, and everybody
would say amen; but, for the sake OF
civilization, it should not go abroad that
he could not be elected unless he got the
votes OF all the murderers in South
Carolina. South Carolina was a Re-
PUBLICAN StSte by large maiority, and,
IL she should be taken out OF the list OF
Republican States, and the whole south
should become Democratic again, it

meant war. There would be new hor-

north again. The Democratic party Of
the north had encouraged the Democrats
OF the south to go into the war, and,
when they got them into that trouble,
they sneaked back. The result was that
the Democrats OF the south had q
supreme contempt for the northern
Democracy. He defended the present
Legislature Of South Carolina, and said
that it was as wise and useful as the
Legislature of any other State. That |
State had twenty. five hundred schools,
three thousand school teachers, and one |
