She was unable to make the fight

Under the circumstances, the South
had nothing to do but to get the best

of treaty, We presume, by which
three of her States were relieved from
the terrible curse of carpet-bag

into the hands Of a man who was not
entitled lit: if a base conspiracy
against the constitution was success

The Campaign.
(Mindeu Democrat

1t is the general impression that
short campaigns are tho most effective
and that it is now too early to begin.
1t seems, however, that the Demo
cratic party is slow to learn that they
have a different eliment to deal with
than in States where this rule holds
good and that tho enemy is thorough
~ organized to begin with and have
their emisaries 1T work already in
every parish in the State. The man
who rests under tho impression that
the Radical party ia disorganized and
demoralized is greatly Mistaken
They can rally their hosts in three
days notice, and it is no use to preach
to tho element composing the party
that the Democratic is tho one for
them to vote. The Democrats must
depend on their OVID strength and in
early. and perfect organi-
zation.

Judge Whitaker would suspend him

Mr.. Samhola then remarked that,
although this order was vindication

sending of the sheriff to Jail was no
rrlicf to the nnfnrtunate citizen who

in court.
Judge Whittaker's action demands
the srverest comment. He must
know that his Jurisdiction is coucur-
rent with that Of any Of the other
District Jua ges throughout the State.
Tho fact that he claims exclusive
criminal ,jn,isdiction-the exclusive
right of issuing writs of hnbcos corpus,
is a mere matter Of opinion which he
is not competent to decide. That |
must he for higher authority than
either of the contestants. His inter

H"u>ton'S Court are, ia our opinion,
unwarrauted and outrageous, and he
should be promptly dismissed from

That he aud Smith are the tools

they must he made to feel that the
power of this government Is not in

(Richland Beacon. !

As stated heretofore, we have been
favored with little insight into the
workings ofthe State Treasury, which
duplicates it as being conncctc'! with
the specializing ring of New Nr'"auS
that has so long controlled the prize"
of State warrants and bonds. We
have no disposition to prefer charges
against any official upon mc'r >npl'"-
sition or superstition: but the conf
plant in this instance is of such long
standing and is SO we'll authenticated
that we deem it our duty to call the
attention of the Attorney -Grnclal to
it, with the request that he invcsti~
gate tho matter.
The charge is that the Treasury is
80 completely under the control Of
the ring, that it is impossible tor tIlN
holder of a warrant, if he is ON: side
of the ring, to get it cash"d. All are
met with the same remark "Thcte
is no money in the TrcaSury"-anl.
they have to sell to Il broker at a Dis
count; but, somehow or another. the
brokers always manage t" know
When there is money in the Trrasn-
~, and 20 on buying warrants at
30 to 60 per cent discount and having
them casted at par. Every District
and Parish Judge in the State can
perhaps, snbstantiate this fact.
Again, at the end Of the year til"
Treasurer makes 4 full and completes
report of the receipts of the Office Tor
the proceeding fiscal year: bpt his
quarterly reports, we ar" informed,
are never correct; the receipts are
understated. And this is done t"
keep the price of warrants down for
the benefit of the ring. Perhaps, 1ln'
tax collecsors will subAantiAtc lAis
fact.
1t is true, that, politically the pres
ent administration and tho Democrat
tic party are not responsible for tho
present Incumbent being in the onir":
but it is their duty to hold him to'a
strict accountability for fa1thf'l
and honest discharge Of it's dnIies. .,
If this practice is not broken up,
can we ever hope to have a fqithtnl
and honest administration of oar
financial affairs This should 'bA
done before another Treasurer is
elected: 80 that he may not be "x7
posed to the temptations with wl'ir'i
the office is now surrounded. -. ''
