AUGUSTA, GA, August 6.-Feeling
that your readers, generally, do not ap-
preciate the miserable condition of the
white citizens of South Carolina, under
the odious administration Of the Radical
party, which is composed almost entire
IL of negroes, / give you few observa-
tons made during trip through part
Of the State. OF the glory and pride Of
this old State, there seems to be only
name and history left. After eleven
years of peace, the State ls In worse
condition, financially and politically,
than Immediately after the cessation Of
hostilities; it is burdened with an enor-
NOUS debt, created by the Radicals, who
have been in power ever since the war,
and the great majority OF the offices of
honor and trust are filed by corrupt and
incompetent men. The negroes are
represented by their own color in such
offices as lieutenant governor, generals
OF militia, senators, members Of the house
Of representatives, associate justices OF
the supreme court, magistrates, school
and county commissioners, policemen,
and, in fact, in nearly every office in
which they can bleed the public treasu-
~. Some of the white citizens favor
compromise in the election to come off
in November next, by concentrating on
Chamberlain as the least Objectionable
man in the Radical party; but the ma
jority say that they have made compro-
misses again and again, and that defeat
and disappointment has ever been the
result, without o particle OF benefit
gained; therefore they favor straight.

IMPLIED FALsEHOODS.

The repudiators mantle their brOws
with wrathful scorn and livid indigna-
ton at any intimation that they would
repudiate the honest debts Of the State.
While complaining of this charge
against their integrity, they asperse the
reputation of others by intimsting that
all who oppose their views belong to the
funding ring. If there really be such
ring in Tennessee, let their names be
exposed, 10 that no injustice be done
men who advocate the payment Of the
State debt from honest motives. Ii
there be funding ring in Tennessee, let
their names be given, II there be no
such ring, let these implied ISLANDERS be
branded as they deserve. In the canvsss
two years ago Governor Brown and his
opponent, A. A. Freeman, advocated
the funding of the State debt from Car
ter to Shelby, and no objection was
made to their views. Ntfere be fund
ing ring In Tennessee, it was organized
by the people when they Endorsed Gov
ernor Brown, knowing he would pro-
pose that very funding policy
which was adopted by the legis-
Iature. 1t is a great crime to
accuse anyone Of advocating a policy
which is virtual reputation; but it is all
marveIously proper to twsddle about the
ring and to assail with implied false.
hoods such men as James E. Bailey,
who would sustain the plighted honor
of the State. Major w. ]. Sykes, who
opposed reputation in the Alabama
legislature thirty years ago, and who oc-
cupied his present position in the Ten
nessee legislature twenty years ago, is
to be sIandered down for daring to ex'
press his honest, consistent views in re-
gard to State credit. In his speech at
Huntington on Monday last, Major
Sykes boldly vindicated himself from
the ISLANDERS of his calumniators. We
learn from one who was present and
heard Major Sykes's speech that he said
in regard to the SANDER that he was act
ing in the interests of the bondholders,
that while ne never Impugneo the mo-
tives of others, he would always defend
himself; that such a report, no matter
by whom originated or circulated, was
an infamous Islander. He had never had
any communication with bondholder,
and did not even know who they were.
He advocated what he believed to be
riObf roOo rdIoac Of vuhopo it r1laacnd or
dispIeased. All who are cooperating
with Major Sykes in advocating tax
of forty cents, and a hope and belief
that some satisfactory adjustment Of the
State debt can be arranged by the next
know and care as little about
the peculiar views Of the bondhol6ers
IS he does, and it is about time for these
implied ISLANDERS to be removed from the

THE Greenville Inteuigencer reports
Hon. John A. Mckinney elected circuit
Judge over the Radical nominee, r. R.
Butler, by an overwhelming majority.
What it really is we cannot tell, says
the Lntelligencer, but from the reports
received it will be very large. Judge
Mckinney, it will be remembered, is the
gentleman appointed to fill a Judicial
vacancy by Governor Porter, for which
that gentleman was taken so severely to
task by many East Tennessee politi-
clans. So two good things have been
accomplished by this triumph OF Judge
M'Kinney-the defeat Of Roderick Ran
dom and the Endorsement of the gov.
ernor's choice.
