Herald. For some days that paper failed
to place the name of Elliott among the
nominees Of the State ticket, but at last
the name Of this worthy, whom Judge
Mackey dubs "the leader of the robber
band of South Carolina" is put up for
Attorney General, and Mr.. Thompson's
name omitted as editor. If-he has with
drawn rather than edit sheet devoted
to such motley crew, he deserves con-
graduation for this evidence of self-re-
spect.
Will Governor Chamberlain enlighten
us sith information rs to the person who
attempted to make him pay for Ell;ott's
silence, either in money or promises {?
AS the disclosures were by no means
overwhelming, there is NO evidence that
some arrangement of the matter was not
made. The Governor owes it to himself
and the people of the State to name the
man who thus attempted to corrupt him.
But, moreover, he owes it to r. B. Elliott,
the nominee for Attorney General upon
his ticket, to make clear breast of the
whole affair, otherwise the public will
have the right to believe that the nomi-
nee for Attorney General attempted to
corrupt the nominee for Governor, and
that the latter is now keeping the secret
of the formers connection with the in
famous attempt at corruption. Give us
all tie facts, or own up that the Repub-
lican State ticket has corrupt men upon
it in the most important positions.
The Keowee Courier says: Gar ,lina,
an old servant of Gen. Hampton's family,
died at Cashiers Valley last week. Tn
Thursday night his remains were brought
here and on Friday taken TO Columbia
for interment-she whole expense of the
transportation and funeral being borne
by Gen. Hampton. This is an every day
illustration of the care aud treatment OF
servants by their old masters, and is a
truthful commentary on the misrepresen-
tations of the Southern people" Think
Of this act of General Hatnptou, colored
men, II carrying one CT your race two
hundred miles that his remains in death
may rest among the graves of his kind, cd
and friends. Has Governor Chamber.
Lain ever done such an act of humanity
for any colored man in South Carolina or
elsewhere9 Can you fear to trust your
Interests as citizens to a man of ouch
philanthropy and Christian virtue as

Judge Shaw and F. J. Moses, jr., have
submitted the question as to Che Circuit
Judgeship to the Supreme Court for de-
cision. 1t IS understood that hearing
will be had in short time, and the de-
cision in the case of Moses will also de-
termine the case of Whipper. In his
reply to Elliott the other night, Cover
nor Chamberlain declared that he was
ready to obey the mandate of the Su-
preme Court, which had the power to
compel him 70 sign the commissions of
Moses and WhippeF, and there had never
been time when he would have refuaed
to sign the commissions, if so directed
by the Supreme Court. It is o trihe sim
gular, while this matter was in abeysnce
and the Governor entertained such views
as to the power Of the Supreme Court,
that he went So far as to issue commits
sions for four years to Reed and Shhv..
His present declaration is inconsistent
with that acs, in our judgment. Can a
Governor Issue and revoke commissions
at pleasure?
