STANLEY MATTHEWS is the Hayes lead
er in the Senate. He bore prominent
part in the intrigues that overthrow the
sham Government of Packard, and in
stalled the genuine Government of Mich
OILS. He did a good deal of the running
back and forth between Columbus and
New Orleans, bearing confidential mes
sages from Hayes. No wonder Nichols
and SpoHord were astonished when they
saw Hayes's man Matthews voting to
seat Packard's man Kellogg in the Sem

WITH the resignation of Associate JUS
tiCe Wright and the election of Mr.. Nc
Iyor to his place on the Supreme bench
the regeneration of South Carolina is
complete. Every department of the
State Government is in.the hands of the
Conservatives or Democrats. One mem
ber of the Supreme Court, the Chief JUS
tiCe, is a Republican of Northern birth
and education, but was elected by Demo
cratic votes at the last session of the
Legislature. The Democrats will have to
bear the responsibility for any further
misgovernment in the long PROSTATE
State.

HERR DRIEsBAoH, the great lion tanner
of thirty years ago, died at Apple creek,
Wayne county, Ohio, on the Sd inst,
aged about 70. In his earlier days he
was famous man, a thrilling and artis-
tic performer. We we'll remember him
in his grand and sublime performance of
the tired wanderer in the desert while
underground asleep, and a tiger pouncing
upon him from a leafy covert. In the
struggle with the beast Of course the
man conquered. DriesbaCh'strained an
imal would pounCe down upon him in
the arena, and in full sight Of the audi
enCe. 1t was to the gazers a frightful
spectacle. Exit Driesbach.

THE radical Republicang in Congresg

THE radical Republicans in Congress
grow more and more bitter against Hayes
They are savage at seeing their military,
carpet-bag grip on the South gone for
ever, and they blame their fraudulent
President for it. 1t is rapidly assuming
another Andy Johnson case. Conkling's
committee on Presidential appointments
reported adverse to Hayes's New York
nominations, who are not pleasing to
Conkling. The contest between Hayes
and the radical leaders in Congress is ta-
king shape and assuming proportions. 1t
is thought Hayes has the nerve to stand
up for his rights and maintain his policy.

The Waverly Watchnaan hits the nail
on the head In the following; "Circulars
are being sent to the various military
companies throughout the State, urging
them to petition Governor Bishop to re-
appoint Karr as Adjutant General. It's
no use talking, gentlemen, the Demo-
Gratis demand clean sweep. One of the
causes that led to Governor Aliens de-
feat, was his disposition to pander to the
Republicans by keeping some of them in
Office during his Administration"

Our present tariff needs a thorough re-
vision. Much oft stands over unchang-
ed from the years Immediately following
the war. 1t contains many unjust dis
ordinations and many provisions that
cripple instead of aiding our home indus
tries. -ClevslGnd Herald, Rep.
The fact is, those industries that were
most favored by the tariff have suffered
most. There is divinity that shapes
things, and brings around retribution,
sometimes fearful retribution.

SENATOR PATTERSON is highly elated
over the success of his speech in his own
defense and his attack on President
Hayes in the Senate the other day. He
has had large edition printed, and says
he has received over three hundred let
tiers asking for copies. He says he has
also been offered $1,000 to lecture twenty
times in Massachusetts and in New York
on the South, and he thinks he will ac-

THE feeling Ia very general over the
State, that our public institutions be re-
organized by the coming Legislature.
The fact of the Republican party monop'
lizing their control for the last twenty
years is of itself reason sufficient for a
radical change. House cleaning, as a
hygieniC measure, is healthy in our State
institutions as we'll as in our domestic
homes. There are leaks and rat holes
that should be stopped. We append a
few articles that came underou obserya-
ton.
TURN THEM 0uT.-The Republican
prints have already foreshadowed the
action Of the next Legislature in refer
ence to our State institutions. Every in
telligent voter who has kept posted on
party movements in this State will re-
member the fact that the Republican
party were the first to inaugurate the
principle that Ito the victors belong the
spoils." They had control Of the Legis-
lature in 1856, and legislated out of Office
every Democrat at the head of State
institution. The law governing the PEN
itentiary, Lunatic Asylums, and every
other State institution or place by a Dem
oCrat was remodeled, the Democrat turn
ed outand republican appointed, During
their reign of power since, several addi-
tional institutions have been created,
and in every instance Republicans only
appointed in charge. Wien Governor
Allen was elected in 1873, he instituted a
more just and liberal policy. Under the
laws enacted during his administration
for the government of any of the institu-
tions, he had the Boards of Control COM
posed of gentlemen from both political
parties. OF the dozen or more institu-
lions under the control of the Legislature
not one half were reorganized, the rest
remaining in the hands of Republicans.
No sooner did they again come into pow
er than the institutions then in the hands
of Democrats were recognized, not for
the purpose Of correcting any defect in
the law, but solely and ostensibly to leg
islate the Democratic incumbents out.
The leaders of the party were bold to
avow that, as they had majority, they
were determined to have the offices. For
twenty years, with triAing exception,
have the Republicans had the control
and patronage of the State institutions.
While we deprecate any measures CalCu-
lated to impair their usefulness, we are
not willing to acknowledge that there are
not men in our ranks quite as we'll quail.
ifed to manage them in the interest of
the State; and, as the Republicans here
tofore have been so illiberal toward the
Democrats, they cannot expect much
quarter at the hands of the coming Legis-
lature. Above and beyond this consid-
Grafton, the laws governing some of our
State institutions are defective, and need
amending. Under them, abuses have
occurred and gross injustice been done.
Let this be looked into, and the necessity
of a reorganization will be APPARENT

THE Deputy Auditor of Clermont coun-
ty, Chas. E. Demmitt, whom we noticed
before as having been arrested charg-
ed with the robbery of the treasury Of
$4,000, was acquitted last Monday, after
preliminary examination of FIVE days.
The detectives claim, however, that they
have now a clue by which the mystery
Of the robbery may be unravelled. Let

Henry S. Bishop of Cleveland, is a can
didate for Sergeant-at-Arms of the House
of Representatives of this State and has
strong Inducements for the place. Mr..
Bishop was an efficient officer in the ca.
pscity of sergeant-at.Arms of the last
Democratic House, and undoubtedly,
from his personal popularity at that time
will be formidable in his candidacy now.
We wish him all the success his merit
deserves,

Our incoming Democratic Legislature
and Governor Bishop should make a
clean sweep of all our public institutions.
They should profit by the error of Gov
ernor Allen and his Administration, and
should not leave single Radical spy or
mischief maker in any public institution
