was afterward found to be fraudulent.
Mr. Cardozas action in paying fraudu-
lent certificate, upon which charge he was
convicted and sentenced. was certainly
quite as innocent as the bank Teller's
would have been under similar circum-
stances.
- His conviction, however, and the sem
tence of L. Cass Carpenter. who was sent
to Jail on a trumped-up charge of forge
ry which was pronounced frivolous by
many OF the best democratic lawyers la
South Carolina. does not seem to have
satisfied the desire for reform which has
recently prevailed TO so alarming an ex-
tent in that State. Not content with
cheating him out of his seat in the
United States Senate there is now no
little talk among Hampton investigat-
ors" of having Mr.. Corbn indicted be-
cause he was awarded by the courts

memorable phosphate cases. In the
meantime, however, we hear of no pro-
ceedings against Moses. the robber Gov
ernor: Joe" Woodruff, the Clerk of the
Senate, who confesses to have stolen a
fortune, or against his good friends aud
partners the propretors of the Charles
ton News and Courier. When some et-
fort is made to convict them and the nu
merous other democratic sympathizers who
are known to have been connected with
the South Carolina frauds, il is possible
that the country will have more respect
for the Investigations aud prosecutions

Reprints of the Quarterly Reviews
and BlackwOO

In the whole range of periodical literature, no
publications can compare with the leading British
quarelies, that are reprinted by the Leonard Scott
Publishing Company. In respect to fidelity of re.
search accuracy of statement, and purity of STYLE,
they are without any equal. They keep pace with
modern thought, discovery. experiment, and
achievement, whether in religion, science, liters
tuIe or art. At the same time the sblest writer's
Gil the pages of these sterling magazines with
most interesting reviews of history, and with an
intelligent narration Of the great events of the
present day. They give the student the benefit of
the research and thought of others. They are in.
dispenssbc for the person whose daily avocations
will allow him to read but meagre account of
what is being done and suggested by writers and
thinkers, and of the grea, political movements
which always keeps the civilized world in agita-
ton.
The Edinburgh il devoted 10 the Wing element
of British politics. 1t is conducted with dscrim-

best days. The Westminster, Liberal in politics,
commands admiration, even from those who can
not az with it, for the holiness and vigor of its
Thought aud statements, and the briliancy of its
style. The London Qusrtsrly is truly Add hon

The South Carolina Prosecutions

From first TO last The prosecutions have
been conducted on the purely political
principle Of .Do all you can to hurt your
enemies and to help your friends" 10
short, the democrats now in power in
South Carolina seem to have determined
by every possible means to break down
the last remnant Of the republicans there.
and forever 10 keep the colored men who
made up the bulk of that party from 60
ing TO the polls and from exercising the
rights Of American citizenship. 1t is now
only too obvious that il was TO this end
that Hampton and his followers com
menced the prosecutions. or it would, per-
haps. be better to call them the persecu-
tons of ex-officials in that State In the

mittee, consisting of four democrats and
one renegade republican. very plainly
Indicated that none but "Carpet-bag Re-
publicans'' were to suffer by the examina-
ton. The witnesses were obliged to tes-
tify in secret, and made TO swear that they
would never reveal the nature of the ques-
tons asked them by the examiners. This
course was persevered in until the courts
took the matter up, and proceeded quietly
to weed out any republicans who stood in
the way of the democratic party. And
this was done with an utter disregard for
law and precedent. In the case of Con-
gresham Robert Smalls. for instance,
who was convicted of having sold his vote
In the State legislature, the only real wit
ness was "Joe" Woodruff. late Clerk OF
the State Senate. and person, who, out
Of bis own mouth, was convicted Of many
crimes against the State. On the unsup
ported testimony of this man a reputable
member of Congress was found guilty OF
every offense charged against him.
The case of Mr.. Cardoza, the late State
Treasurer, was quite as instructive "a that
related above. Two attempts were made
to convict him, but as they each failed, a
third and final effort was determined up
on. 1t succeeded. and again upon the
testimony of Joe" Woodruff, the self
convicted rascal, Cardoza, was sent to
prison. Yet the only charge which was
proved against him was that while State

wealth exactly as Paying Teller Of a
