Cochran and Thompson the Principal
Opponents or Senator Patterson.
From Me Washington Post, December 81

FFUHt Uc W nutNtUytOW Osf, i/CCcUtDeF Il,
Senator Butler has recently been ad-
vised, by the most trustworthy authority,
that the principal opponents of Senator
Patterson in South Carolina are brace
of Radical politicians, named respective
~ Cochran-and Thompson. Cochran is
known as the original seducer of the
South Carolina Legislature, during
SCOTS administration, and nearly all Of
the ugly schemes passed by that body
were devised and engineered through by
him. 1t is said thnt in 1868, before the
negro legislators knew what value to set
upon their votes, they were bought by
Cochran on one occasion with brass
watches. During 1870 and 1871, Coch-
| ran VIC: ....iu ''go between in the "Land
Commission" swindles, and he was tho
medium for selling large worthless tracts
of swamp lands to the State, ostensibly
for the benefit of the freedmen, but in
! reality to put money into the dishonest
palms OF men whose sole mission was 10
enrich themselves Q. the expense of &
war.striclen people.
The principal cause of Cochran's ami
mostly toward Patterson was the lattcr's
refusal to endorse him for appointment
as internal revenue collector Of the dis
trict of South Carolina. BY some unac-
cOuntable cause, Cochran was appointed
! chairman Of the investigating legislative
committee at Columbia, and he seems
unrelenting In his opposition to Patter-
son, who not only refused to endorse
him for an Office, but also offended him
By refusing &c -oto fer tho admission %
| D. I. Corbin in the recent senatorial con-
test.
Thompson is, if anything, a more sour
Wy fellow than Cochran. He has been
for years the principal maligner of the
decent rcorle cf South Carolina. For
!: ;;ears he has traduced them in vile sheet
at Columbia called the Union Herald !.
and he now assails them in his corro-
apcndence from that city 70 the New
York Times. Peterson mag have COM
mitsed questionable acts in South Caro-
lima, but In the name of all decency let
reputable persons be put forward to in-
yestigate him, and not adventurous of the
Thompson-C Cochran stripe, who will never
get their just deserts until they are lodged
in the penitentiary.
Many fair minded persons in this city
have openly expressed their sympathy
for Patterson since they became informed
of the atyle OF men who are pursuing him
in South Carolina. What also greatly
adds to the sympathy for Patterson is Lie
fact that Corbin is doing all in his power
to encourage judicial proceedings against
him in South Carolina.

Pomona Grange, p. H., will meet on
next Saturday at II o'clock at Anderson,
and ell members and delegates are ear
nestIy requested to be present, as busi-
ness of importance will be presented for
their consideration, and officers for the
ensuing year will be elected. AS we are
just entering upon the duties of new
year, Brethren, let us come up with new
resolutions and firm determination to
discharge our whole duty TO our several
Oranges. And we shall be spared the
modification of seeing one-half of our
Subordinate Oranges published on the
delinquent roll, while others are sickly
and gasping for life. This condition OF
things must arise from negligence and
inattention, which is really contradic-
tion of the natural character of the per-
sons raised on a well-directed farm
Persons brought up on well-directed,
systematic farm, are expected from habit
to be active, energetic, enterprising,
thoughtful and systematic. And these
qualifications, properly developed, would
steadily work out the grand objects OF
the Grange, and speedily place the much.
abused farmer upon the high road to
prosperity and successful respectability.

Hon. John Sherman, Secretary Of the
Treasury, denies that he made any bar
gain with any person in regard to the

President Hayes about matters relating

also reminds the country that ne had op-
posed the electoral BILL Does this state

denim both Mr.. Hayes and Mr.. Sherman
for this action would be blunt indeed,
and the Secretary Of tho Treasury has
stated enough to justify the impeachment
of the President for attempting to inilu-
ence the action Of o judge upon the count
of the vote for President, and OF himself
for improperly securing the position he
now holds. Chandler's charges against
Hayes and Sherman are no worse than
the defense which Sherman makes.

THE REPUBLICAN FACTIONS.
William L. Chandler'a nsview OF the Po-
litical situation.
WAsHrNaroN. Dec. 26. l977

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26, 1877.
William E. Chs miller, the New Hamp-
shire member of the Republican National
Committee, has addressed an open letter
to the Republicans of New Hampshire,
in which he makes number of explicit
and interesting statements concerning
alleged bargains made during the electo-
raj count, and their alleged fulflment by
tho adoption and pursuance OF the Pres.
ident's Southern policy" After re-
ferriDg to the declaration OF the Cincin-
| natl Convention and of Governor Hayes
letter of acceptance in regard to the pro.
lection of Southern citizens in the fee
enjoyment of oil their rights, Mr.. Chan
dler asserts that the Republican party,
by the advice and procurement of Gov
ernor Hayes, made 'the necessity of
keeping federal power in Republican
hands aud using it for the protection Of
black and whita Southern Renrhlicnna"
the main issue Of the Presidential cam
paign.
THE BLOODY SHIRT.
He says "the bloody shirt" as il is
termed, was freely waved, and Governor
Hayes himself urged prominent public
men to put forward as our best argument
she dangers ef -ei.ee! -:!e sSS;!! : s.s.:a e:a
South. In this connection he quotes
several expressions from Governor
Hayes letter Of November s, 1876, when
che latter thought himself defeated, and
said:
"I do not care for myself e,
but do care for tAe poor colored men OF
the South =. Northern men can
not live there, and will leave =.
The Southern people will practically
treat tho constitutional amendments &c
nnllities, and then the colored mans
fate will be worse than when ne was In
slavery =. That is the only rec,
son that regret the news is as it is"
My HAYES WAS COUNTED IN.
Mr.. Chandler then proceeds to state
that Governor Hayes not only pledged
himself Co protect 20 fha fnll axtAnE as
the FEDERAL power life, snfffage and po-
itieal rights in the South, but was count
ed in as President only by reason OF
special pledges given by Senator Sher-
man and other Ohio emissafies who par
ticularly and emphatically promised that
he would recognize and maintain the
lawful State governments of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana and stand by Coy,
crnors Chamberlain and Packard. Mr..
Chandler amplifies these statements at
considerable length, and proceeds to
make charges as folloHs;
