The decision Of Judge REED of the Charles
ton Circuit Court in the FLYNN case leaves
Mr.. HAYES no excuse for permitting the use
Of Federal troops another day in South Carr
DINA to support the pretensions of CHAM
DERLAIN.
The history of this case we have already
given. FLYNN had been sentenced to inn
prisonment for assault and battery. by one
Of CnAMBERLAIN's Trial Justices, and had
applied for discharge on the ground that
a CHAMBERLArS was only private citizen
he had no authority TO commission the Jus
tce who had sentenced him. Judge REED
had previously. in another case. decided that
HANPToS's appointments were valid; and
now he decides that CHAMBERLAIN's are in
valid. This establishes the authority of
Gov. HAMPTON in the Charleston Circuit.
within the limits of which is one-third Of the
taxable property Of the State; and the de-
cl-ion Is in accordance with that of every
Circuit Judge in the Statc-thcre are eight
in all-with the single exception Of Judge
CARPENTER who, after comforting with the
ancient TAFT, came 10 the conclusion that
neither HAMPTON nor CIAMnERLAIS was
elected in November. but that the latter WAS
entitled to hold over for the reason that
there was no choice.
The two surviving Judges Of the supreme
Court Some week, ago signed an order
directing the Superintendent OF the Pcnitcn-
tiary to release n prisoner named TILDA
NORRIS upon pardon issued by Gov. HAMP-
TON, thus recognizing the validity Of his
election. One ofthese Judges. n oolorcd man
named WRIGHT, was buldozcd by CHAMBER
LAIN politicians into an attcmpted rctraction
Of this act, and was aitcrward carried OIL,
though he has since returned to Columbia.
But even if WRIGHT should attempt to su--
tain CHAMBERLAIN's professions hereafter,
h- opinion would loo ncutralizcd 10y that Of
Judge WILLARD his associate on the SUI
premc bench, 80 that tho decision Of the
seven Circuit Judges cannot bc reversed.
Inc authority Of Gov. HAMPTON Is now
generally recognized throughout South Car
olna. as was shown when his rcpreve
saved a murderer from the gallow- the other
day; and the only possible reason for the
delay of HAYES in fulfilling his promises
must be a hope Of driving a closer bargain
with the southern Democrats. In the mean
time the material interests Of South C,r,-
lima are suffering incalculable injury through
the support still extended to the Fraudulent
Governor by the Fraudulent President.

Gen. ULYSSES :. GRANT formerly Prcei-
dent Of the United States, has made up his
mind TO spend the next two years in foreign
travel. Foreign travel may bee a source Of
Improvement, provided its advantages are
appreciated and properly employed. The
tendency Of foreign travel is to abash stupid

and habits Of thought, and especially to mod
lily an exaggerated sense of personal impor-
tance. We shall not hc surprised if Gen.
GRANr finds himself wishing that he had
taken his tripahroad when he was Il younger
and more mprcS~ionablr man.

that Gen GRANT is apprehcn7ive that his

II is not alone Mr.. HAYES who is going 10
touch the cannon of softly for Mr.. KEY, the
Postmastcr-Gcneral, IL bent ON trying the
same experiment. Though an old rebel
himself, he desires to have it understood
that he will not appoint other rebels to
Office except in cases where it is impossi-
BILE to find satisfactory Republicans. This
statement he has been constrained 10 make,
evidently 90 appcase the feeling Of wrath
manifested against Republican President
for putting an old rebel in his Cabinet. The
gun will explode If not touched or softly; SO
touching 1t of softly Is attempted.
1t Is not likely that satisfactory" Re-
publicnns can be found for many southern
post Offices. II is understood that Northern
emgrants known rs carpct-baggcrs, are TO
be excluded. or other Republicans in these
States. there are none. So the rebels, under
this rule Of Mr.. KEYS, will come in.
Tho Northern post Offices are held by Re-
publicans. and there will bc few changes.
Mr.. TYNER, the Northern Postmaster has
little patronage 81 dispose Of. At the South,
the unlettcrcd negroes will have to give
way, and Mr.. KEY will appoint rebels to
their places.
Such is the working Of the Dual Post Ollce
Department.
