Pur AGREEMENTS IN WRIrrNa.-
How many MISUNDERSTANDING arise
from the loose way in which busi-
ness matters are talked over, and
when each party puts his own con-
strIction, the matter is dismissed
with the words call right, all right. !"
Frequently it turns out all wrong,
and becomes question for the
lawyers and the courts. More than
three -fourths of the litigation
would be saved if people would
put down their agreements in
writing, and sign their names to it.
Each word in our language has it's
peculiar meaning, and may, by it's
change into sentence, convey an
entirely different idea from that
intended. When once reduced to
writing the ideas are fixed and ex,
tensive lawsuit avoided.-America,a

The County CONVENTIONS in North

Vance for the United States Senate
to succeed Merrimon, whose friends
combined with the Radicals in 1872
and chiseled Vance out of the place.

Too Much ANN esty.

AVO muCu hWu eSIy.
The Beaufort Tribune conveys
the information that Sam Green,
the ex-senator of Beaufort, who
was found guilty of bribery and
every species of corruption, and
who confessed his crimes and re-
signed to escape the penitentiary,
is now haranguing the negroes of
Beaufort, protesting his innocence
and declaring that his only motive
in resigning was to escape tho
persecution of perjured jury.
The Register devotes considerable
space to the crimes and confessions
of this arch thief, and continues:
We have not devoted so much
space to pillory the ex-senator from
Beaufort without an object. Ho is
altogether of too small Importance
for the trouble. But we take his
case as specimen from among
those who have received clemency
at the hands of the Democrats, and
who are now endeavoring to con-
vince the negroes that their trent
ment Las been unjust and unwar-
ranted by the facts. In other
counties, we learn from various
sources, the former leaders who fell
beneath the weight of crushing
testimony before the Investigating
Committee are seeking to regain
their control Of the ignorant and
deluded population, and alleging
that they were forced to resign
thoir place in Lhe Legislature wlth~
ont being guilty of the charges
preferred against them. It has
been the constant policy of tho
Itegister to urge clemoncy towards
the minor lights of the Radical
party, who were concerned in tho
peculation and robbery Of the State,
and to select the principal leaders
for punishment. But the evident
desire of these self-convicted crimi-
nails to participate again in politics
will make O. continuance of this
policy not only unwise, but suicidal
in the extrome.
The evidences ore not wanting
that a movement is on foot for this
class to regain position in the
State. Soon after the Legislature
adjourned, a secret conclave was
held in this city among the Repub-
!ican members, and only last week
there was a gathering of the prin-
cipal lights from every portion of
the State. Cardozo has Just re-,
turned from Washington, and takes
part in the consultation. Did he
bring instructions with him from
the central authority of the Re-
publican party! Swails boasted
while here that he would carry
williamsburg county. Sammy
Green is seeking to restore himself
IN Beaufort, and there are others
most active and industrious in other
counties of the State. The whole
criminal gang will rise from q
nerited oblivion, unless check is
soon given to their aspirations. A
few warrants judiciously distributed
would tend to correct tho growing
evil.
The News AND HERALD has all
along maintained that tho quality
OF mercy is being severely strained,
that there has been entirely too
much amnesty, and that vigorous
measures should be pressed against
the leaders at least. Among these
are not only Chamberlain and his
compeers, but such knaves as
Green, swails, Nash, Maxwell,
Simpkins and the Gains. These
scoundrels have not a spark Of
tlecancy Of magnanimity. Like SO
many wild beasts they can only be
ss.l,tled s9ll' a into +, good behavior; Tho

slightest lessening of the pressure
will encourage them to snarl and
growl and tear the hand that
looses them. They are not such
simpletons as not to be responsible
for their misdeeds. They were all
along us fully conscious of the
enorlnity of their crimes rs were
Parker or Patterson or any of the
rest of the white leaders. The
vigorous prosecutions inaugurated
By the attorneygeneral terrified
these cowardly miscreants and they
incontinently deserted their posts
and hid their heads. But this talk
of amnesty has emboldened them.
They take advantage of Democratic
magnanimity to conspire together
and stab it in the back. What has
been the result of all the labored
Investigations Simply to prove
that the Radical leaders were
thieves and villains. This was
known all along, and acknowledged
by the guilty parties themselves.
No good comes from this, as far
as the internal affairs Of tho State
aro concerned. Nothing short of
actual punishment in the peniten-
tiary will bo of any permanent avail.
Yet what do we see? Cass Carpen-
ter is pardoned. Smalls, convicted
felon, takes advantage Of an appeal
to the Supreme Court, and actually
enjoys sent in Congress, whence
he procures the money to defent or
retard Justice. Cardozo is out on
bail, while the occasion of returning
to South Carolina to have his
appeal argued, is actually taken
advantage Of, to summon together
the Republican State Executive
Committee to plot for rehabilita-
ton of himself and his co-thieves.
Was there ever moro consummate
impudence Dr. Ensor, who en-
joyed for time the patronage of
the Democratic party, sits in this
conclave with Bowen and Elliott
and Cardozo. Swails, instead of
being chased breathlessly across
the State line with q constable's
warrant, sits cool]y down and
boasts that he will carry Williams
burg. At this rate we shall soon
have return of Leslie and Whitte-
moro and Gleaves and Hayne, and,
indeed, q second wholesale influx
of carpet,baggers, while Patterson
will set his wires to return to the
Senate.
We aro having too much amnesty.
Brothcrly love with scoundrels is
misplaced. The liberal policy in
augurated in the Carpenter cam>
paign and eliminating in the sup
port of Chamberlain has been
confessedly q failure. Caesars
grentcst virtue was clomency to the
vanquished-and he was stabbed to
death by those he had spared. A
vigorous prescription would have
obyiated the scenes Of the Ides of
March. The victory of 1876 was
won, not by honeyed phrases and
friendly utterances, but by the
tramp of men on horseback. A
manifestation of power is necessary
to preserve what has been gained.
Against tho masses no ono harbors
a grudge; but every leader should
be made to feel the weight of tho
law. An example is needed. The
colored masses flock to the strong
est side. Let them dream that
Radicalism can be revived, and the
battle must be fought again. But
summary squelching of all such
cattle as Sam Green and Swails will
greatly simplify the coming cam
paign. Let us postpone amnesty

A FEARFUL BLuNpER. Tho. editor
of the Montgomery 1dvertiser
wrote n funny paragraph about a
mule. He also wrote an apoiogetic
paragraph in regard to q mistake he
had made in mentioning the name of
Capt. j. G. Winter. The intelligent
''make-up" put the two paragraphs
together thus:
eve are requested to state that
in the proceedings of the county
convention as published in tho Ad-
vertiser of yesterday it would seem
to appear that Capt. John G. Wins
ter was a candidate before tho con-
vention for representative. Although
Capt. Winter was twice put in nomi-
nation, he each time declined, and
was therefore mover Il candidate.
''It is never too late for q mule to
serve his country. An animal of the
kind, thirty eight years old; kicked
thief to death in Georgia the 9th :

subscribed as a sinking fund to buy
