SENTENCE DAY.

On last Monday Judge Townsend de-
liveled his opinion in the cases of Car
dozb and Smalls, refusing the motions for
new trials and for arrest of judgment, and
called the prisoners up for sentence,
which he imposed as follows:
Cardozo, two years in Jail and $4,000
fine, with proviso that if at the end OF
two years the fine is not paid, the pris-
oner shall be confined for an additional
year.
L. Cass Carpenter, two years in jail
and 81 900 fine.
Robert Smalls, three years in the pen
itentiary.
These sentences appear to us in COM
mon with many others to be dispropor-
tionate to the several offences and the
positions occupied by the offenders. The
crime of Cardozo partook Of all the essen
tials Of three distinct aud heinous crimes.
First, he was guilty of violating the oath
of his Office; second, of a breach of trust,
which by the statute of this State is
made Of the sage character as larceny
Of like amount; third, of conspiracy to
defraud. This being the fact of the case
the sentence appears to US uncommonly
light, and decidedly disproportioned to
the sentence ofsmalls. Occupying the
position held by Cardozo, a man should
be held to the most rigid account, and
should be punished as severely, at least,
as q common criminal. Has Judge
Townsend done this7 If Cardozo had
been Darlington thief, would his sen.
tence not have been to the penitentiary
If L. Cass Carpenter had been a common
forger, would he not have gone to the
penitentiary? Itstrikes US that both OF
these men should have been sent to keep
Smalls company. But the cases have
not ended yet, as all the defendants have
appealed, and bail was arranged by
consent at $4,000 in each case. Will
it be sufficient to hold the defendants
It is not likely that these prisoners will
ever go even to Jail, for they will most
likely forfeit their bail and leave the
country.

THE CRY OF REPUTATION.

The members of the Long Cane Dem
ocratic Club, in Abbeville County, adop-
ted the following wholesale resolutions
in favor of repudiation:
Resolued, That we instruct our delegates
to repudiate the whole so-called Republi-
can debt, made by that party while in
power, believing that it was made for the
interest of the party, and not for the
welfare of the State.
2. That they be instructed to pay no
bonds given for bills of the Bank of the
State, and that none of the bills be ever
taken for taxes in the State of South
Carolina.
8. We are willing to pay the ante
bellum debt of the State when it shall
have been scaled in proportion to other
property of the State.
The adoption of these resolutions show
very little discrimination on the part Of
the members of this Club, for they con-
denim the debt, not because it is unjust,
but because unjust officials created it.
A corrupt government might have in
CURED debt which was necessary and
proper, and if SO it should be paid. The
objection ought to be confined to the
debt made by the Republican party un-
necessarily, and for the purpose of official
pilfering, and this class of indebtedness
should not be paid. What justice and
public honor requires is that every bond
shall stand upon its own merits. If il
was legally issued for proper considera-
tion, and the fund properly accounted
for by the State officials, it ought to be
paid whether issued before or since the
wE; but if it was issued for the further.
auce of some swindle, as the Land Com.
mission bonds, for instance, it ought not
to be paid, for the persons purchasing
bonds Of the Republican officials knew
they were publicly charged with fraud
and corruption, and by dealing with
them only obtained an equitable demand
against the taxpayers of South Carolina
in the cases where the debt was properly
created. Wherever we as a State OBJ
tanned benefit by the creation of any
portion of the debt, we ought not to wish
to avoid payment of it; but wherever nc
benefit was derived the persons who put
their money into the hands of official
swindlers have no one to blame but
themselves, and should lose their money
for giving their financial assistance to
rogues. Let Us have thorough inyesti-
CATION and find out what we Justly owe,
and then pay it at the rate heretofore
agreed upon between the State and its
creditors.

SITTING BULLS WHITE CHIEF.-Ihe
commission which was sent to Sitting
Bull made an important discovery in the
fact that the warrior has in his camp o
white prisoner, captured at the Custer
massacre. Before reaching Fort Walsh
rumors reached the commission that Sit.
ting Bull held some of Clusters men as
prisoners, and after the first conference
one of the half.breed interpreters em
ployed by Gen. Terry visited the camp,
and while passing through was accosted
in English by person dressed and
painted as chief, who said that his name
was Martin Ryan, who was corporal in
company I, 9TH Cavalry, Col. Keough's
company, and had been taken prisoner
at the battle of the Little Big Horn with
Custer. Inquiry apparently substantiated
this assertion, and the following facts
were ascertained: Ryan's life had been
spared by Sitting Bull himself, who
adopted him into his family. Ryan
made several attempts to escape, but be-
ing carefully guarded was unsuccessful,
and on each occasion he was severely
beaten. He has apparently accepted the
situation, and Sitting Bull has made him
a war chief and married Ryan to one OF
his own daughters. Ryan has let his
hair grow long in Indian fashion, dresses
as an Indian, and is known by the Sioux
as the White Chief.
Upon the return of the commission to
St. Paul, General Terry caused the mus
ter rolls of Company l, Seventh Cavalry,
to be examined, and found that Martin
Ryan's name is borne as corporal, and
that he was present for duty when his
command went into that fatal action OF
June 25, 1876. It was stated by the
friendly Indians that there are several
Others of Clusters men prisoners in Sit
ting Bulls camp, but Ryan,s case was S9:.te the
Bull was asked the question direct by
General Corbin if he took any prisoners
of the Seventh Cavalry, and answered
fatty, "That is none of your business"

There is no desire on the part Of our
people to see any one prosecuted, but at
the same time every good citizen earnest
" desires to see all criminals prosecuted
as warning to them and as an example
to others. Public criminals should not
be moro leniently dealt with than private
offenders Of the same grade. Justice
should be blind to position, and guage its
punishment by the degree Of the crime.
Our people desire the official thieves to
receive no more punishment than their
crimes deserve but they are anxious for
them not to escape the amount really de-

son which has been taken by the grand
jury of South Carolina, which is ex-parte
in its character, is so far as it goes, over
whelming. A careful examination of it
fails to show a single flaw, and unless his
defence is much stronger than any one
now supposes, his conviction upon trial
is morally certain.
He expects, it is believed, as the re-
ward for his treachery to his party in the
Senate, and for his part in delivering the
control of that body to the Democracy,
to escape trial, or if convicted, to be
relieved from the penalty of his crime by
Executive clemency. How either party
can expect to carry out such bargain as
this, is past comprehension. The pro-
ceedings upon the application for a writ
of ha6eas corpus now pending in the
courts of this district may be concluded
favorably or unfavorably to him. Judge
Humphreys may decide to take him from
the custody of the South Carolina officers
but such release can only be temporary.
His case must be called in court sooner
or later, and when it is called he must be
arraigned. Any failure to bring the case
to trial will stamp with infamy those who
may be responsible for the delay. No
District Attorney in South Carolina can
move nolle prosequi without giving rise
to the suspicion land it would be more
than suspicion) that he was party to
the bargain by which Senator Patterson
deserted the Republicans, and assisted to
deliver the control of the Senate to the
Democrats. No Governor of the State
of South Carolina could grant pardon,
should Mr.. Patterson be convicted, with
out bringing disgrace upon himself and
the Office which he holds.
It seems impossible, therefore, that the
Democrats, if they have made any bar
gain with Senator Patterson, can possibly
carry out their part of the agreement, but
he apparently prefers to take the risk of
that rather than. to face what seems to be
inevitable term in the penitentiary.
