SOUTH CAROLINA RAscALIrY.

We do not expect anything like
fairness and honesty from the
Charleston Netes and Courier since
the election, for journal which stim-
ulated the Democratic party of South Caro-
lima 10 every variety of outrage that human
ingenuity could invent to rob the people of
their rights as citizens pending the election,
can scarcely be expected to be just, honora-
BILE, and fair so soon nfterward. II was the
Nc1rs and Courier that boastfully and shame
lessly declared during the canvass: ave
have determined TO carry the State at
whatever cost" thus giving countenance
to and encouraging outrage and crime to de-
spoil the people OF their rights. 1t was the
Nr-, asi Co.Tic- which egged on the out
Fages At Sun;sr. Williamsburg. and Black.
willie Pssdias tie canvass, and which, under
its expressed determination TO carry the
State at whatever cost, encouraged fraudu,
lent voting, ballot-box stuting and fraudu-
lent counting; thus depriving the State oi
an honest expression Of popular sentiment
After covering itself with n multitude oi
sins during the election, it now refers to the
complaint of Mr.. MACKEY in the following
fppant and hypocritical manner:
The Charleston correspondent of the New
York Times most likely L. W. NJ. MACKEY)
complains that "in the second Congressional
district the Democrats refused to appoint a
single Republican manager Of election" This
was the case throughout the State. In each
county there are three commissioners Of cleo
tion appointed by the Governor, who appoint
the managers at the different precincts, and
In every county one of tho three commission.
crs Is a Republican. The appointments Of
managers in Charleston were made by the
unanimous vote of the three commissioners
At evcry poll in Charleston there were two
United States supervisors, one ofthem Repub
lican, besides batch Of United States deputy
marshals. MACKEY and his party have 81
often carried elections by repeating and bal
lot.box stutling that they think the Democrat,
as INSCRIPTIONS as themselves.
The assumption that Mr.. MACKEY ant
his party have often carried elections b,
repeating aud ballot-box stuiing," il
now pleaded in justification of the whole
sale fraud that has been practiced by itsel
and its own party. This is the usual rcfug
of rascality.

Der Public Schools.

To the Editor OF The National Repubiiedn:
SIR: All intelligent citizens must concur In the
opinion that the Board Of School Trustees should
be furnished with tho funds necessary to enable
them to provide suitable and healthful buildings
for the accommodation OF the public schools Of the
District. The board asks for $4,000 for the fiscal
year ending June 3d. 1880. aud porusal OF the re-
port which accompanies the cstim ate will satisfy
any one that the estimate Is q very moderate and
reasonable one aud II Is therefore to be hoped that
the District Commissioners will not make any re.
ductlon In II.
The truth Of tho matter Is that tho public schools
OF the District can only be put upon proper foot.

sum to build the new school-houscs which are
needed. Those schoolhouses ought TO be built at
the national expense, owing TO the fact that the
schools are maintained 10 very large extent for
the benefit OF non.tnx. paying official population
II Congress should build the school. houses then
the ordinary resources OF the city would suffice TO
mainthin the schools upon footing creditable TO
the National Capital.
In this connection II should be remembered that
we have right to ask Congress for special appro
praton for the benefit OF our public schools for
there Is no Western State which has not received
from Congress ten times as much bounty for edu-
catiOnal purposes as this District which has such
strong claims for such aid. owing 10 the fact that

therefore, that the school trustees will ask Congress
for a special appropriation To build tho school.

MORE OF THE SOLID SOUTH.

The Richmond Wing insists upon a " Solid
South" and says there is every reason
" why 1t should be solid, and not one why
&" it should be divided in front Of the COM
d" mon and relentless foe" These are brave
words. We recollect of hearing something
like them In fs6l, when the banner of Sc
cession was raised over the sold Dominion"
and the world was advertised that two of
{" the Chiyalry" were equal to five Yankees
That people took their choice then, and
they are as free to do so now. They do not
seem, however, to have proiited by the ex-
periences Of the past Some people never
do, and consequently are always getting
themselves into hot water. No one objects
to the "Solid South" provided they do not
solidify at the expense Of the rights of
others, and under u violation of
law that cannot be submitted to in
patience any more than secession could
be tolerated without chastisement For
for every wrong perpetrated and every MUIR
der committed to secure Solid South, -
there will be o retribution as dire rs that
which met Secession and Rebellion. 1t
may not come precisely in the same way
but most assuredly it will come as soon as
those who tempt will care to see it.
1t has been matter of surprise with can
did, right-thinking people that when the
South surrendered their cause as lost, laid
down their arms and assumed to accept the
situation, they did not do it with honest
hearts and purposes, and become good loyal
and peaceful citizens exercising a proper
respect for the citizenship Of those who
were living in their midst rs their peer:
under the Constitution Of the United States
which very many of them have sworn tc
respect and obey. If this bad been done
there would have been perfect peace, har'
mony, and fraternity throughout the entire
nation, as there is between Northern and
| Western States. But instead of this, wher
they surrendered their cause on the tented
field, they clung the more closely TO thei
traditional hates, and have been nursing
them with fond care ever since, until they
have centred in Solid South" which Il
cemcntcd in hatred, prejudice, and enmity
and which will engender a kindred spir
in return throughout every other por
ton of the nation. If this is th,
choice of the South, and it seem
to be- the North has no alternative but t.
accept the issue as presented, as it did il
1861, and let the irrepressibe contest thu
inaugurated work out the problem whether
or not 1t is consistent with the peace
prosperity, and happiness of this nation tC

defend the miscreants save the bull-dozing
sheets Of the South, and they unblushingly
do so on the ground of expediency. But
the attitude of tho dough-face organs Of
the North is somewhat like the system In
vogue among the ancient Spartans to incul-
young men. In the midst of the arena the
Spnrtans were wont to place purses in sus-
pended garments, to each garment q bell
being attached. The youth who extracted
the purse without ringing the little tintin-
nabulum was uproariously applauded by
the audience, while the clumsy fellow who
rang the bell was numerically punished
for his unadroitness The Palmetto thugs
performed their recent task so uncleverly as
to disgust even the followers of SAMMIEs
Cox and RANDALL, and, while, had they
been more prudent, congratulations might
have been heaped upon them; yet none now
appear to be so low rs to do them honor.
Even papers like the Baltimore Gdsette and
the Cincinnati Enquirer take them severely
to task for the clumsiness Of their job on
the 9th instant. As the Spartans punished
their youth when they wero caught steal
ing, not for the theft, but for their careless
ness in allowing themselves to be caught
so will the dough-face Democracy Of the
North denounce their boon companions in
South Carolina, not for simply stufing the
ballot-boxes, but for crowding tickets so
rrcklessly into them rs to create stencil
in the National nostrils, from which oven
the followers of TWEED and KELLY turn
away with disgust.

THE accumulation of evidence regarding
the conduct of the late elections IN the
Southern States, by which it appears that
the Ku-Klux Democracy spared neither
honor nor blood in their efforts to overcome
legitimate Republican majorities, has had
the effect to confirm public opinion in the
North in support of the assumption that
Cancellation Is a failure. The man who
fails to see and admit the logic of this situ-
