CIVIL RIGHTS CAzADAv

The white voters OF this Congress-
ional district will evidently be glad to
learn that Mr.. ". P. Caneday, who
prefer DIS to contest Col. Waddeils
claim for reelection. has made an
agreement with J. p. Sampson, col. 4,
of Washington City, to CANVASS this
district for him. This is Civil Rights
with vengeance and shows what a
wide Jump Mr.. Canaday has made
from his seat at the dinner table on
the Fayetteville, steamer with Price.
Whiteman, Smyth and other colored
gemmen, to the hustIngs where a
negro is to appear and tell white men
how they shall vote and WHO they
shall vote for. As Mr.. Canaday or
any other man who may be nominated
by hi1 party is sure of the negro vote
in the district anyhow, his own still
hunting and the forensic display to be
made by his friend Sampson, colored,
can have but one objective point and
that is the Democratic voters. The
white men Of Carteret, Onslow,
Dupiin and Cumberland counties,
where Mr.. Canaday seems to be him
self working hardest, will please
make note of this fact. A negro is
to be brought ell OF the way from
Washington City to tell white men
how they must vote 4!

WHAT R A dc AL RULE HAS

The Raleigh NeaOs says:

The Raleigh NeaOs says:
The late Democratic Convention of
Halifax appointed a committee. con-
sisting of Thomas N. Hill, Spier
Whitaker and Edward Conigland, to
investigate the county affairs. Their
report brings to light some heavy
frauds. The county has been de-
frauded of thousands of dollars. Ras-
cality has been rampant. That is the
sum of the matter.
The committee were utterly unable
to ascertain the Indebtedness of the
county, the records giving no definite
idea Of the amount. This the COM
mittee attributes to the incompetence
and gross ignorance of the Commits
sioners, or to their utter Indifference
to the interests OF the county and it's
citizens.
The report discloses a variety of
frauds and evils of other descriptions
high prices for work done for the
county; exhorbitant fees paid law
yers; unwarranted extra allowances:
and petty stealings of many kinds
for all of which, the committee say,
"the Board of County Commissioners
richly deserve and have become liable
to the severe penalties of the law, and
should be held to answer q criminal
Indictment on account thereof" I'd

CEzANIlsERI.A GAME.

There is little question of veracity
i'll South Carolina between such men
as Governor Chamberlain ON the one
side and Judge Mackey aud ex-Gov-
ernor Moses on the other, in regard to
the alleged disorders In that State and
the necessity for calling in Federal
troops to suppress them. Had the
testimony stopped al this point
we confess that a disinterested indi-
vidual might have been thoroughly
puzzled in his endeavor to locate the
lie but other witnesses of high charac-
ter as well as of high official positions
have been placed upon the stand and
their evidence is such that no sane
man can believe that Chamberlain is
telling the truth in the excuses he
makes for declaring martial Law in
certain districts of the State. Yet he
has gone too far to recede and arrests
are now i'll progress in the Aiken and
Barnwell districts. Those people are
submitting to it quietly, acting under
the earnest advice of Wade Hampton
and other Democratic leaders, and
with a quiet confidence in speedy re-
lease under the great writ of ha6eas
corpus which Chamberlain has
already attempted to suspend and in
which attempt he may entirely fail.
Governor Chamberlain has himself
made most mendacious assertions of
the disorders he alleges to be existing
IN South Carolina but to obtain the
necessary official coloring for bis acts,
has caused one Conway, U. s. Mar
shall, to make report to him of disor-
ders said to have been Inquired into
by that Radical official. Conway's re-
port was, of course, cooked up for the
occasion, and the New York Herald,
aware of this fact, has sent its own
correspondent into the Ellenton dis
trict where the recent disorders &C.
Cured. Ills correspondent has made
an elaborate report, after having in
terviewed hundreds IF persons, white
and colored, who participated in the
late troubles and who were in any
manner cognizant of any incidents
connected with the troubles. This
report covers three columns of fine.
close type in the Herald and the re-
suit of laborious and dispassionate
investigation made by the correspon-
dent is directly adverse to Conway's
report and to Chamberlain's procla-
nation. 1t fully exonerates the whites
from the charges made against them

National issue. Fl ,mptou Knows how
to plan and to carry out Il defensive
campaign as we'll as an offensive one
and we predict that the canvass will
proceed with mora determination than
ever before while white men ale being
arrested and held for trial at the sweet
will of Chamberlain and Grant. me
remedy is in the State courts and If
is there thas the actual fight must take
place. Neither can Chamberlain or
Grant remove the State judges and the
former certainly cannot COW them.
Judge Mackey has declared in effect
that The authority under which the
State is now declared in state OF
instruction is unconstitutional and
has been usurped for The occasion aud
is therefore not binding on any Court
in the land. He goes further and says
that United States officials will not he
allowed TO disregard the process OF
the State Courts (meanlrg thereby
such writs Of hu6eas corpus as they
may isaue} and plsiuly asserts that
force will be nat with force aud thai
the Court will assume tae rospOnei>
bility. These are bcav0 words and we
bsIieve that Judge M.okay means what
he says and will abide by them notwith-
standing tho fact that Grant has come
to Cha N berlain's aid since the char4e
was delivered.
As 10 the motives which have
prompted this onslaught upon the
liberties of the people of South Caro-
lima the thing IS plain enough. Cham
berlain is tbe candidate of the riff ref
clement OF his party and has been re-
pud'ated by almost every Republican
of prominence in the State. lie has
therefore to look 30 the ignorant lie

| lnroade recently made upon this vote
in favor Of Hampton have rendered

| found it necessary to resort to des
perate means. And we ali know tia
no means are too desperate or to-
| despicable for tho ordinary genus O
the Radical tribe to resort to in an ex
tremity. Hence the war of tho Fed
! erai administration upon the peac
