The news and herald. [volume] (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1876-1881, 1876-11-30

The spectacle Of the corpulent Car
dozo and the obese Hayne rotting
in jail, and the other recalcitrant
spirits, who are of the clean kline"
order wasting away, SO to speak, of
the dry rot, would be SO gratifying
to the suffering and defrauded dc
cency of the State thatiti is proposed
to hire u follow at six dollars a day
and mileage, to visit the jail daily
and coax the Canvassing Board
never to submit to the court. Be-
sides affording personal gratifica-
ton, this resolution of the Jail birds
would confer practical benefit on
the people. Dunn, as q prisoner,
could levy no taxes, and Cardozo in
jail could collect none; SO the tax
payers could have respite for time
at least.
The people here expect to see a
release and Il recommittnl, followed
by another release and another re-
committal, and SO on until the
obnoxious individuals who compose
the Board are trotted. almost to
death. 1t is said that by exercise
Boss Twccd's weight has boon
diminished seventy pounds, and that
work has reduced the girth of the
Tichbolne claimant some seventeen
inches. 1t would not be surprising
if the battle-door and shuttle cock
game of Judge Bond and tho Su-
prcmc Court should transfer the
Rev. Treasurer Cardozo into an
animate and peripatctic oil we'll.
Thirty or forty barrels Of blubbor
would DO n moderate estimate Of
yield.
THEY GIVE BOND.
Judge Bond has been in town for
weeks, and although he appears
quite hurt ut even the intimation
that he will interfere. it is thought
that he will issue writ of habeas
co'pttS and release these minions of
the national government. He has
about rs much jurisdiction in the
premises as the Grand LLAMA of
Thibet. The power to punish for
contempt is given to court for its
protection, and no cne by law is
permitted to decide whether any
court has been contemned except
the court itself. There is no appeal
in Il contempt case. But the Radi-
calls who have every day for the past
eight years heen growing more bold
IN their violation Of law and decency,
will not hesitate to effect their pur-
pose by breaking down any barrier
OF the law, however strong or how
ever ancient in its origin.
THE WORK GOES BRAvELY ON.
While the Board arc in Jail the
Court is proceeding harmoniously
with it's work. Justice Wright ap-
pears to be in full accord with his
associates in the determination to
oxpound the law properly and to
vindicatc the dignity of the court.
The clerk of the Supreme Court
will grant certificates to the mem
bcrs from Edgeiiold and Laurons
and with these credentials they will
demand admission to the Lcgisla-
turc. 1t is rumorcd that the Radi
cal programme is to surround the
State House with Federal troops
and deny admission to any but
those persons armed with crcdcn-
tials from tho Secretary of State.
This will give the Radicals maiori-
ty of the members of both Senate
and House. Hampton will be
counted out and Chamberlain and
Gleaves declared elected. This. is
the Louisisna programme. 1t will
be carried out except in one con-
tingcncy, which is this: The con
test down here is not purely n
question Of law. Tt is
A HUGE JURY CASE,
and tho solid, impartial thinking
men of the North are the jurors. II
they decide that Grant and the
Radical party shall still be per
mitted to tramplc under foot all the
rights Of n people, the deed will be
done, and Hayes, Chamberlain
Stearns of Florida and Packard of
Louisiana will all be counted in. If
on the other hand, as is now proba-
bic, tho innate love of Justice and
fair play which has ever existed in
the human breast will impcl the peo-
pie of the North to say "Hands off
to Grant and his satellites, the out
RACES will be stopped and we will
peacefully enjoy the fruits of our
victory. The outlook during the
past week has been more favorable
to the Democrats for this reason:
Capital is timid; the bondholders
want no revolution. They are say
ing that the judgment of authorized
courts must be submitted to, oven
if the losing party considers itself
cheated. And just as long Us the
Southern Democrats preserve peace
and seek legal redress in the courts
while the Radicals are disobeying
tho law and committing rcvolutiona-
ry acts of violence, tho sympathy
Of the North will be aroused, and
increase until the National Republi-
