was no pardon, as Lilly could not testify
until he was pardoncd, and the pretended
pardon did not pardon him until after he
had testified. This is glaring instance
of an attempted abuse of the pardoning
power on the part of the Governor, for it
was granted to man who is considered
to BIZ one of the worst of criminals in
order to get his testimony against another
man, and the pardon is only granted on
condition that he does actually so testify.
To say the least of it, the offered pardon
presented a very streng temptation to
Lilly to swear against Yocum whether
he knows anything or not, for by so
doing he would secure his own release
from the penitentiary. The conduct of
the Governor in this matter is very repre-
hensible indeed, for he not only attempt
ed to turn loose criminal upon society,
but at the same time gave him strong
inducement to commit perjury against
another citizen if Yocum is not guilty.
The trial is still progressing.

RADICAL STRATEGY.--The Abbeyille
Medium, in referring to the resolutions
adopted by the Republican County Con-
vention, puts its oar on the right side as
follows:
1t was by just such political legerde-
main as this that the good, honest, con-
servatiye people of Anderson were cheat
ed out of State Senator two years ago,
and by which the Radical leaders in that
County hope to secure another victory.
There is death in that cup, and we warn
eur neighbors from having anything to
do with it. "Merits" and "qualifica-
tons" have never had anything to do
with solitary radical ofice-holder in the
State. If it were so they would not be
in Office. These two important things
they never possessed, and it is folly to
try to deceive the people with such stuff:
Radical politicians have no merits, and
are qualified only to lie and to cheat and
steal. Senator Coch.an's little game is
decidedly thin-about on par with his
boasted reform, and should not deceive
the people into any fellowship or COM
munion with his unfruitful works of
darkness. This is an effort at coalition
to which no true man can subscribe. 1t
is frebrand, intended to create confu-
sion and divide the Democratic vote-a
blind to lull the people into false secu-
rity. 1t was by some such movement
that Cochran was elected to the Senate,
and it is in this way that the Anderson
Radicals hope to rescue that County from
conservative control. If the Anderson
Democrats stand together shoulder to
shoulder, and give no heed to such STRAIT
egy, they can elect solid ticket.

Governor Chamberlain Declines Fur
ther Discussion.

COLUMBIA, S. c., April l9.
To the Editor of the Mcus and Courier :
Judge Carpenter having made two
speeches, while 1 made but one, in the
late State Convention, is, still, very prop
erly, not satisfied with the result, and ac-
cordingly avails himself of your columns
for further discussion. I decline to fol-
low him. will defend myself, and the
cause I represent whenever defence is
needed, but there is better work for me
than Staying the slain"
I have never abused Judge Carpenter,
and 1 never shall, but, for myself, am
heartily glad that he has, at last, ranged
himself where his sympathies have
doubtless long been.
1t is true that I did not present to the
Convention, in my single speech, full
review of all the reforms happily inaugu-
rated and carried forward, by the friends
of good government, under the present
administration but / did repel. the at
tacks of Judge Carpenter, in a manner
satisfactory to ME at least. That done,
l pass to other duties.

not been for the tender counscls and sup
port of the wife of his love and his bosom
he would have faltcred on the way and
stained the record. Was that sufficient
answer? What is necessary to be re-
formed except the administration OF
which Governor Chamberlain was so
conspicuous and able member? The
charges against the administration OF
Governor Moses were not that the Legis-
lature had beeh venal or corrupt, but on
account of the officers he appointed and
his personal conduct.
Reform in all departments until hon
esty and economy prevail in each, is the
demand of the press and the people of all
parties and both races, and no matter
who is Governor, public opinion must
and will be potential enough to carry on
the good work of perfection. I have Ia
bored for it, and shall continue to do so
until nothing is left to be reformed.
do not complain of Governor Cham
berlain's reforms. I complain that by
abandoning his friends he has accom-
plished scarcely anything, and that if he
mad stood by them ana worked WIN tnem,
We would have been much farther on the
right road. I am actuated neither by in
terest or ambition, but by sincere desire
to subserye the best interests of this
whole people.
Why does the Governor denounce me
My attack was not upon him, but his ad-
ministration of public affairs. How can
that be defended by personal abuse? l
have no defence to make. If my sacri-
flee of time, money, health and feelings ;
if the manner in which have discharged
the duties of the responsible positions I
have held do not constitute complete
defence for me, then words are useless
and unavailing.
Very truly, your friend,

who were imptisOned In Schuylkill county we're
pardOned by Gov. Hartfanft, and not upon the
recommendation Of the law officers OF the
county. Their pardon was procured by political
influence, and was In reward for the vote Of
the Molly Mcguire organization that had been
cast Tor Hartranft. Hartrdnft clearly pardoned
criminals in no way worthy Of pardon, because
their associates had aided his election and II
