THE election Of Judge willard to
the supreme bench of South Carolina
Is Q marked endorsement of Wade
Hampton's pacific policy. willard is
3 Northern man and Q Republican,
having in true sense carpet-bagged to
South Carolina. A Radical admins
trstion placed him on the supreme
bench, and the white people OF South
Carolina included him in their hatred
OF these who administered the govern
ment against the best interests Of the
State. But during the protracted con-
test that followed the November cleo
ton, he and Moses, another Judge Of
the court, gave decisions in favor of
the Hampton government, ordering
the Edgefield returns to be counted
that gave q Hampton majority in the
House. In recognition of this, Hainp-
ton openly espoused the cause of Viii
lard, and advised his reelection, not
withstanding his avowed Republican
ism. A large body of Democrats vio-
lently opposed the Governors recon-
mendation, and once it seemed proba,
BILE that he would be defeated; but
when the matter came to q vote Will
lard was chosen by eighty out of 1913
votes. The result is q proof of Hamp
toms great authority in the State, and
of the moderation of the people. 1t
is, also, vindication of the wisdom
of the national policy in the South.

TIE BLACK HILLS.

For some time past the railway COM
panies have been negotiating terms
with one another for an excursion from
Austin and Southwestern Texas to
Denver. Pixies Peak and the Black
Hills. We suppose the scheme will be
consummated and therefore give facts
furnished by trustworthy correspond
ent who says that from statistics OBJ
tanned directly from the miners it is
computed that the total yield of the
Hills last year was two and one-half
million of dollars, four-fifths of which
was taken from Deadwood and it's
tributaries. Competent persons esti-
mate that the yield the present season
will reach twenty-five millions. In
view of the fact that ore to the esti-
mated value of $500, 900 is now in
plain sight in single tunnel, this pre-
dichon cannot be pronounced extrava-
CANT. Desdwood is the Bonanza of
the Black Hills. 1t paid immensely
last season, and is yielding larger re-
turns at present. OF course every foot
of ground Is taken and held at most
exorbitant prices, from $15, 900 to
$50, 900 being the ruling figures. Dis
covery claim is owned by Messrs. AL
len, Flaherty s. Co., who, not long
ago, declined an offer of $40, 900 for
one-fifth interest. They recently
cleared up $1,000 at the close of ten
hours run. Adjoining 1t is the Vince
Ter claim, which yielded $97, 900 last
season, was then sold for $4,000, and
is now producing from $500 to $500
per day, fair average for the
mines throughout the district.
The largest nugget found in this
district weighed seven ounces. 1t was
discovered by the purest accident.
Two penniless prospectors, colored
men, who had been crowded out Of
Deadwood, were working their way
across the country. 0vertaken by q
storm, they took refuge beneath the
roots OF an overturned tree, where,
while gazing listlessly around, one OF
them discovered the nugget sticking to
lump of clay to roos hanging over
his head. A prospect hole was dug
there and then, anu q pocket found

THE cost of the government of Mis-
sissippi, when this government is con-
Quoted by taxpayers, was, last year,
$452, $50. TIL, treasurer after paying
all liabilities has surplus on hand oil
$3.50, 5O4 and $780, 600 of uncollected
taxes. We present these simple facts
to show the people of Austin and DIAL
las and Houston how cheaply' govern
ments are conducted when those who
erpend also pay taxes. In other words,
in municipal governments that affect
property alone and the political and
civil rights Of none, none should vote
except taxpayers, and if all men were
honest none others would vote in such
elections.

THE departure of lack Chandler
from Washington is an event to be
celebrated, like the liberation of South
Carolina and Louisiana, with bopfres
and illumlnstions. After twenty years
in the Federal capital, filling drunk
en- chair in the cabinet and booty
seat in the Senate and dispensing pub
lie funds in the purchase of votes that
Hayes might triumph and he himself
be overwhelmed and neglected and
forgotten-after all these years and all
this power and greatness in whisky
sodden old age, the old corruptionist
and party leader goes silently and
YEARLY back to Detroit. His splendid
abode in the capital has been disman-
tied, and Its books and pictures and
furniture shipped to Michigan to be
seen no more, thank God, in Wash
ington. Hayes can have sympathy
with no such creature, and the poor
old man with all his wealth, repulsed
and condemned, must apply to his bot
tie and Wendell Phillips for consola-
ton. He reads Phillips's. "Slave.
hound Cabinet" in an ecstacy of rage
and swallows pint of whisky in de.
lirious disappointment. He curses
Hayes and the party, and the end of
lack Chandler is nigh.

are numerous and schools pessibls this
land, then most valuable, will suggest
dim memories of gigantic fraud, and
then the people must be taxed to main
tain free schools. The same wicked
policy is applied to State University
lands, and under some law, enacted by
idiocy and executed by crime, these
lands are sold day after dsy for trifing
sums. Hardly . dollar will ever find
its way into the State Treasury. Pos
terity is robbed and ignorance and vice
are given q r.ortgage upon the com
monwealth. Governor Hubbard should
arrest the progress of this confessed
outrage and calamity.

AND now two or three Southern in
tensely Democratic newspapers are sd-
vocating the refunding of the cotton
tax. We might 60 for it but approved
when Tilden, to catch votes, vetoed.
We are committed, and the Democracy
of the South, against the cotton tax
bill. But then party platforms are on
ly put up jobs to delude innocent
gudgeons. When the election is over
so is the platform. We never hear of
it till another election. People should
do their own thinking and voting and
beware of the demagogues and office
seekers and their neat little platforms.
When it was thought that we could
make votes North for Tilden by swear
ing against the cotton tax and Confed-
crate debt and payment for slaves, we
accepted all these schemes at Tilden's
hands; but now, forsooth, good, hon
est Democrats come crying piteously
for nickels for the spectators in the
cotton tax.

PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE
EQUALITY OF THE STATES.

The President OF the United States
has no more right than the Governor
of Texas to punish the brutal murderers
of Chisholm In Mississippi. II the
President send troops or order United
States marshals to go thither and ar
rest and incarcerate members of the
treacherous, shameless mob that shot
the devoted daughter and the wife of
Chisholm, the President would only
stain his own soul with perjury,
because detested felons' hands are
stained with blood. The latter horri-
BILE crime of ignorance, cowardice and
malice would not atone for the per-
jury of intelligence. II Mississippi do
not punish outrages like this-if men,
or wild beast pretending to be men,
who made Chisholm abandon his cell
by making him believe that bis wife
and children would be burned to
death; if cowardly brutes would take
advantage of q fathers devotion to
evoke him from safety and then shoot
the man in the back from behind wall;
if the daughter and then the mother
be shot to death, and these enormities
go unwhipt of justice, the State de-
serves detestation and its people should
be despised and its social system be-
fouled with a moral leprosy which
mankind will abhor and execrate.
The President has no authority to in
terpose; the State government must
avenge the outrage, and if it fail, the
worlds opinion will wreak vengeance
as terrible as that which will
be inflicted in Northern community
when seventy miners have been pois-
oned even by righteous and godly and
sinless Northern people, and even In a
Christian, Northern State. Acts of
Mississippians in Strengthening three
Mississippians deserve Reproduction, but
hardly more than most CHASTITY crimes
perpetrated north of the Ohio. An
Ohio and Boston paper are before us,
urging the President to send an armed
force into Mississippi and see that
Chisholm's brutal assassins are put to
death. The government of Mississippi
has no rights, these organs of opinion
assume, which the President is bound
to respect, and yet if he send regi-
ment to arrest Molly Maguires in
Pennsylvania or wife prisoners in Chi
csgo or robbers prowling about New
York and committing nightly depreda-
tions, the North would be horror
stricken. In fact, now that Grautism
is no more, and the Federal Constitu
ton and laws operative, Mississippi is
free, and no lawless Intervention OF
Federalism will occur there which may
not in Boston or Chicago. The Consti.
tuition and the laws, while Hayes il
President, have existence and proper
force.
The South may have much to learn,
but there is one simple lesson which
those in authority, and which the
press of the North should sedulously
inculcate, that President Hayes will
not be found giving one construction
to the Constitution for the North and
another for the States of the South,
and the people of the South
will hardly forget that the chiefes,
service rendered the South by President
Hayes consists in his reputation OF
Grantism and assent to the perfect
equality of the States.
