We believe that the whole influence of
the holders of fraudulent bonds against
the State of South Carolina was brought
to bear TO secure the release OF Kimpton.
for fear that if he came into this State
his testimony would be secured in the
bond cases, and thus information re-
ceived which would show the frauds in
the State debt SO clearly as to warrant
the Bond Court in deciding against
large number of these pretended bonds;
and we believe that some of the parties
who were thus solicitous and exertine
their influence do not reside without the
limits Of the State. This course has
succeeded in preventing the uso Of
Kimpton rs witness, and has also given
him temporary release from punishment
for lis crimes; but the result may be
anything else than success for the
holders of these questionable bonds, for
if they force them upon the recognition
of the Court by keeping off important
witnesses, the decision will not be salts
factory to the people of the State, and
the Legislature will be forced to take the
subject in hand and protect the rights Of
the people. The citizens of the State
are willing to do what is right about our
debt, and if the whole facts can be sub
niited to the Court its decision would
receive respect and command obedience ::
but il there are intreagues to shut off
testimony, as we believe was the fact in
the kimpton case, then the decision of
the Court will not be recognized as q
settlement, and the people will, through
their Senators and Representatives make
such settlement as will seem nearest
right, under the circumstances. We
want fair play on the debt question, and
are willing to pay what is justly due our
creditors, after scaling to fifty cents on
the dollar, as has been heretofore agreed
upon by the consolidation act; but this
is the limit of our liberality, and when
the holders of claims believed to be
fraudulent attempt TO secure judgments
by suppressing evidence, We think it is
about time to repeal the act creating the
Bond Court and proceed to an adjust
men! by which nearer approximate to
right can be effected. 1t would, there
fore, be better for all parties to seek a
full and fair hearing of the bond cases
in order that the question may bo finally
disposed of, 30 as to bind both the State
and her creditors, which will not be done
BY anything but plain, straight forward
litigation. The people will submit to
no juggling over their rights.

The correspondence between Kimpton
and the law officers of South Carolina,
which we publish on another page this
week. ia far from creditable to the sagaci.
ty of those who were managing the
States interest. Such correspondence
with an indicted criminal was highly i'm
proper, inasmuch as it was attempted to
make bargain out of the whole affair,
and sought to give Kimpton, one of the
arch conspirators against tho people of
South Carolina, immunity from the pen.
alties of his crimes. He should have
been arrested and brought to this State
on the indictments which were found
against him, and when here, if he had
1een desired as witness, he could easily
have been obtained. If the residence of
kimpton was known sufficiently to ad-
dress letter TO him, it was also suffi.
cient!y known fer 3 warrant to have
reached him, and it is great pity that
he had not been invited to come to the
State under warrant instead of by a
simple request through a letter. inas.
much as the disposition of the States
Attorneys to favor Kimpton has been
perverted by the State authoritiest of
Massachusetts into an excuse for retain.
ing the alleged criminal out of the reach
OF our Courts, every possible effort should
be made to secure Kimpton's arrest by
having his movements watched in other
States, where, if caught, the Governors
will not be so fond of rascals charged
with grave crimes, and will deliver him
up for trial. The position the case has
been placed in by our unfortunate at
tempt in Massachusetts, necessitates the
vigorous prosecution Of Kimpton in order
to vindicate the State from the asper.
sions of tho Massachusetts authorities.
He deserves to be relentlessly prosecuted
and punished to the extent of the law he
has violated, both on account of his
crimes and on account of the effort he
has made to traduce the State of South
Carolina.

Senator Butler, of this State, expressed
the opinion in Washington q few days
ago that both Smalls and Rainey would
be defeated for Congress in this State,
and that solid Democratic delegation
would be elected. This can and ought
to be the case, if the Democrats in the
middle and lower counties will stop
quarrelling among themselves and turn
upon the enemies of good government
and the foes of South Carolina. This is
no time for personal differences, and
everything should te merged in the
common effort TO sige South Carolina
and every county in her from the domi-
nation of ignorance, corruption and
fraud. Preferences and prejudices ought
to be hushed for the purpose of making
bold, strong and united fight upon
Radicalism wherever it shows its head in
South Carolina. IF this spirit of patri-
otto determination could pervade every
community and secure the cooperation
of all Democrats, the Republicans would
not only fail to secure single Congress
man from South Carolina, but they
would scarcely carry county in the
State. Our people ought to be united in
this effort for our complete redemption.
1t will be stain upon the record of any
county that is turned over TO Radicalism
on account of dissentions among Demo
Gratis. 1t should not be permitted, and
wherever there are leaders who antagon-
izo the party interests ty :he:- persona!
conflicts, the people ought sternly to
condemn both parties and call out new
leaders for the coming contest. It is
better that individuals should suffer in.
justice even, than that anything should
be introduced to weaken or disorganize
the Democratic party In single county.

1t is said that the French Exposition
will be financial failure, and this is
occasioning sundry plain criticisms upon
the plan adopted for the conduct of the
Exposition. It's management from the
beginning Was stingy and niggardly in
the extreme, and the conduct of the peo.
pie Of Paris has showed that they in
tended to exact all from weir visitors
that was possible. The course of ell con-
nected with the Exposition was grasping,
not to use stronger expression, and it
has resulted in disaster to its originators.
The Exposition itself has been mag.
nificent collection cf exhibits, but it has
failed o. SUCCESS from bad management.
From the press accounts the Centen-
NAL in Philadelphia was its equal in
point of show and greatly superior in its
conduct.

Senator Conover is q candidate for
Congress in Florida. Like ali other
Radicals he likes Office, and since the

probably will, he would accept anything

a series of fires in the ripening col
fields of California has lead TO the belief
that there are organized bands for tho
purpose Of destroying the present crop,
as was threatened last winter. This,
however, occurs in q Republican State,
and therefore there are no homiIies in
the Republican papers attempting to
induce public sentiment to condemn the
party which governs people in this
style. But, then, our contemporaries of
the Republican press are excusable for
this kind of oversights-they are so
busily engaged waving the imaginary
bloody shirt over the South that they
have no time to give their attention to
the great practical evils which actually
exist great deal nearer to them than
the sections of country which they are
continually villifying and traducing.

1t is with reluctance that We chron-
icle the intended departure from this
parish and State of DR.. E. r. Cornell,
whose failing health requires change
of climate. The Doctor is suffering
from an affection of the lungs, brought
on by exposure to the night air and
all sorts of weather in the course of
the performance of his professional
duties, and by the counsel of his med
ical adviser he will visit Colorado,
the length of his sojurn there to be
regulated by the condition of his
health. DR.. Connell has resided in
Ascension something over three years,
during which time he has built up
good practice on the left bank of the
river, and achieved an excellent repu-
tation as skillful and successful ply
stefan. He will be sorely missed by
his patients and personal friends, and
by the public generally, for in adj
dition to his other qualifications as a
good and useful citizen, he has for
several months filed the position of
President of the parish Board of
School Directors with a zeal and eff
fciency seldom surpassed. We earn
estly hope the Doctor will speedily
recover his health in the equable eli
mate of Colorado aud return to AS
eension before many months. He
contemplates leaving here about the
LIST of May, we believe.
