from it's inception in Pennsylvania
to tho present, is one continuous
record Of crimo. He has cast but
one decent vote in his life, and that
under the most peculiar circum-
stances; and in explaining it no
denounced tho President most
bitterly for removing tho troops
and roscuing tho down -trodden
people Of South Carolina from
Radical bondage. flo vilified the
Democrats of South Carolina as u
set of bloodthirsty and rebellious
ruf1ians md while ho defended
General Butler from tho charge of
participating in Hamburg and
Ellenton, he stigmatizod all who
wore ongagcd in these affairs rs
cold-bloodod murderers. Is this q
man for tho slandercd poople of

has been tho instigator of the
political prosecutions in the State {?
Who has caused hundreds of in
nocent citizons to bo dragged to
prison Who has at every election
procured tho pouring in Of Federal
troops, and tho concentration Of
all the power Of tho Federal Ad-
ministration against tho taxpayers
of South Carolina? Who instigated
q drunken President to insult Il
delegation sent from this State to
seek redress from tyranny and
pillago? Who has, in every speech

against race and to provoke bloody
collisions, that he might steal five
years more? The answer is
"Patterson.
Pattorson's crimes worc peculiar.
While others robbed, he outraged.
They sought power that they might
steal. He stole to purchase power
that ho might still further opprcss

ho committed in tho Senate far
eclipse in malignity tho thcfts he
committed in private Punishment
in the courts for tho latter will not

bo thrust hcadlong ont Of the

IT IS announced authoritatively
from Washington that tho Demo-
cratic Senators will honceforth
withhold all aid from tho Conkling
faction in its struggle with the
President. This is ominently wise.
While Hayes is not entirely satis-
factory to tho Democrats, tho policy
of Conlkling and Blaine is utterly
antagonistic to tho peace and
prosperity of the country; and tho
Democrats should soizo every op~
portunity to oppose thom, oven if
it be supporting the appointments

Kick Him Out.

remain in tho United States Senate,
in order to frustrato any attempt
on the part Of the Radicals to un-
scat Senator Butler and seat Corbn.
1t is proposed to wait until his
torn of Office expires and then to
proceed against him in tho courts.
This position is untenable. Such
n course would lay the Democrats
of South Carolina still moro liable
to tho charge Of bargaining and bad
faith. It would be q nico thing to
condone Patterson's crimes rs long
as he is useful to us, and then, aftcr
his power of giving MD be lost, to
pounce upon him and thrust him
into the penitentiary. If tho State
proceed on the principle of pardon
ing those who have served her, then
Patterson's course in the Senate
should secure him immunity from
punishment hereafter. He must
either be prosecuted vigorously in
tho Senate, during his term of Office,
or else be let alone in tho future
As any such proposition as the
latter would be almost unanimously
opposed by the people, tho former
is the only course left to pursue.
Moreover, tho argument from
oxpediency has little to recommend
it, It is folly to bolievo that tho
Radicals will dare unseat Butler
Tho Democrats will havo large
majority in the Senate in 1879.
Should the Radicals furnish pre-
eedont by unseating Butler now,
the Democrats, then, will unseat
both Corbiu and Kellogg and admit
Butler and Spofford, thus gaining
ono Senator, besides, perhaps, turn
ing their attention to other Radical
Senators. Moreover, if Patterson
should be unseated, Democrat
would succeed him for the vacancy
and we would bo just where we are
now; with tho additional chance
mentioned above, of kicking out
several moro Radicals in 1879.
Again, when the straightout
movement was organized year be-
fore last, it was understood that
the Democrats would, henceforth,
make no bargains or compromises
with Radicals. Tho more consorva-
two Democrats had united with
Carpenter> Tominson, Grocno,
Mackey, Cunningham, Chamberlain
and other Republicans, but tho
masses refused to 60 with thom.
1t was found that the only safety
lay. in repudiating every Radical
loader, because there was none who
commanded the confidence of tho
Democrats MS body. In 1876,
Domocrats who thought it possible
to form ap alliance with Republi-
can a hundred. times less obnoxious
than Patterson, wero themselves
dononnoed as oorruptionists and
