The task of "%protecting the weak

thoroughly sick of this. The opinion
is fast becoming universal outside of

that. if this is to remain u government
of laws, the army must be sent back to
attend to the business for which it is
raised aud paid on the authority of the
representatives of the people. 1t is

The o .called Republican Govern

tue sooner we shall be relieved of a
disgrace.
For Governor Chamberlain have
profound respect, but he cannot con-
trOl tue ignorant horde that is under
him. a Legislature that would elect
Moses and Whipper to the Bench. and
Patterson to the Senate, deserves the
doom that is DOW fortunately about to
overtake it. The corruption of the
South Carolina Legislature for the past
ten years has been without q precedent
in the history Of the world. Offices
and sacred public trusts are bought
and sold, and jobs carried on in 50
shame.faced and brazen a manner Us
TO shock credulity. 1t is said that the
negroes. ground into the earth for
ages as they have been. don't know any
better than this; that their moral
sense has been blunted, aud that the
whites are to blame for it. This. to
my notion, is not u sufficient excuse to
uphold the disgraceIui black and tan
