| from the State treasury. Iholr
absence arises from tho fact that
they have records, that their
records roek with venality and COR
ruption, md that the evidence of
their crimes may DO found in the
public archives. They havo resigned
from dread Of that same omnipotent
jury to which Honest John believes
distance lends it's enchantment.
It has just occurred to us that in
this sweeping accusation against
tho retired Radical Solons, we do m
honorable monber Of tho party
injustice. The ex-Hon. Thomas
Keitt is not corruptionist. He is
merely bigamist. That he Ian
guishes in Newborry Jail is duo to tho
slight circumstance that bigamy is
not considered quito proper
amusement to be indulged in by a
member Of tho Legislature, outside
Of Utah Territory. We fail to soc
how MI. Hayes is responsible for
Kcitts bigamy, or how tho presence
of Federal garrison in Columbia
would havo dctcrrod Mr. Koitt from
leading two duslky brides to tho
altar. That small point is submit
ted to tho honorable Senator for
olucidation.
Mr.. Patterson, to put it mildly,
OTIS also in his assertion that the
Republicans have hold no meetings
and participated in no elections
since tho withdrawal Of the Federal
troops from this State, and his error
is still greater whom ho asserts that
Republicans foar murder at tho
hand of the fierco and rebellious
ku-klux of South Carolina. In a
recent contest for tho Legislature
in Orangeburg county, tho Re-
publican county convention, or tho
executive committee, mot and nomi-
mated one d. II. Straker for tho
position and fifteen hundred or
two thousand Republicans voted
for him. In Richland county, about
the samo time, the Republicans
nominated and supported q Repub-
lican for the probate judgoship.
Shortly aftor this, in Fairfield coun-
tv, tho Republican Executive Cons
mitteo met several times. to select a
new chairman, and subsequently, in
q contest for county officers, nomi-
mated and supported full set Of
candidates at tho polls. In any
number of othor instances tho Re-
publicans have held political moot :
ings without suffering the slightest
interruption or annoyance from
Democrats No political terrorism
exists in South Carolina. It has it's
being solely in the fevorcd imagina-
tion of such miscreants as Patter-
son.
President Hayes is much moro
silly than we take him to bo if no is
bcglilcd with any such stuff as Pats
torson retailed in his interview.
And we trust that no will take tho
trouble to inquire into tho trnth of
Pattcrson's assertions, SO that, find
ing thom to be utterly false, no may
demand fulfillment of the honora.-
bio Senator's promise to resign.
AS for Patterson, no has q very
bad case of political jaundice. His
uttcrancos arc but tho rawlings Of q
man in his deepest chagrin that
there are not yot GIVE more Years
of good stealing in South Carolina. /"

TO MY MOTHERS FRIEND, MRS.
A. S. BOSWORTH.
BY MISS J. n.


Ay mothers friend could bestow
On thee sweeter nameP
What holier love than this yield
COuldSt thou e'er wish to claim!
Pve known and loved thee since first,
In childhoOd's sunny days,
Heard from my mothers lips thy name
Always with words of praise.
Fen when disease, with cruel pain,
Had laid that deaI form low;
When earthly power had pIoved in vain
Toquell that deadly foe,
Thy friendly words ami brightest smiles
Could cheer her suffering hours,
As sunbeams struggling 'gainst the
storm
Revive the dropping flowers.
And when death visited our house
AS he must visit each
Thy willing deeds of sympathy
Sought lovingly to teach
Our chastened hearts to feel that He
Who dwells 4" in mansions blest"
Had taken our dear mothers soul
Unto eternal rest.
/ cannot say thy future years
Will be unmarked by care,
But thou shalt be remembered in
At least one orphans prayer.
And should these simple lines of mine
One kindly feeling wake,
Accept them not for their own worth,
But for my mothers sake.
