Another Letter from Chandler.
WASHINGTON, February

WASHINGTON, FeDruary ~.
Mr.. w. E. Chandler has written an
other letter, under the caption, "Was
Governor Hayes Bargainer?" The let
ter proceeds: "Unquestionably he was.
Much of the coquetting with Southern
Democrats during the winter was done
by him. Me.srs. Foster, Matthews and
others kept him fully advised of what
they were doing. Senator Sherman went
to Columbus, reluctant to trade off Pack
ard, and returned Secretary Sherman,
and Joined in the trade. Mr.. Hayes
knew perfectly we'll that the price that
he was to pay for the Presidency was the
betrayal of Packard and Chamberlain
and the sacrifice of his own. honor; but
the fear of the loss of the Presidency,
with its $4,000 in money and its patron
age, was too much for him, and he de-
liberately paid the price. It would be
coward,y to affect to think otherwise.
eff the subject is ever investigated by
competent authority, it will doubtless be
found that he confirmed in some way the
assurances given by his friends before
Mr.. Levy proclaimed in the House that
all was right, and Mr.. Ellis told Mr..
Hewitt that the count could proceed,
and changed his vote and opposed fill
clustering. AT all events, it is enough to
convict him that his first act on arriving
in Washington was to procure or advise
an order from General Sherman with
drawing Federal support from Packard
and inviting the white Leaguers to crush
him."

LOUISIANA FRAUDs.-Men in Wash
ington, who claim to speak with authori-
ty, now say that Gov. Nichols will not
pardon Anderson, and will not in any
way interfere with the trial of Wells
next month. Why should he? The
punishment for their offences under the
law is very light. The suffrage of the
people il the foundation of our system
of government, and these men deliber-
ately falsifed the returns in suca way
as to change the result of general cleo
ton. Surely, the law should provide
punishment for such an act, aad that
punishment should be inflicted. Such
crime, more than any other, should be
made infamous. The beneiciaries of the
fraud-the receivers who have the stolen
goods-may seek to give standing to
Wells and Anderson by keeping .hem in
Federal offices, but that or any other sup
port or favor to the men is confession.
Pardon is for those whose guilt is doubt
full, or those who, by reformation or re-
pentance, or restitution, have atoned for
their fault. Has any one heard of re-
pentance in these cases2 Restitution is
impossible. All the good they can do is
to expose their accomplices, ard when
they have done that forgiveness and par
don may properly be urged.-CHarIeston
journal Of Commerce.

1t is a fact generally known that
monks and nuns on assuming their vows,
and Popes on ascending the pontfcal
throne, usually change their names. The
reason of this change in the case of the
Popas is supcrstitious belief that unless
this is done the pontiff will not lire long.
The custom has prevailed since it was
inaugursted in csc by Octavian Cont,
who assumed the name and the title of
John XII. Julius Medici would have
made a breach had he been permitted,
but his friends prevailed upon him to
take the name of Clement, he being the
seventh Pope to bear that name. Thirty
two years later, in 1866, Marcellus Ser
vius was elected, and insisted upon re-
tanning his own name. AS Marcellus H.,
therefore, he assembled the throne on the
9th of April. He was young man and
in robust health, and yet he lived but
twenty-one days after his elevation.
Since that time no Pope has ventured to
offend against the tradition. 1t is a little
singular that while the name of John
has been favorite one, no less than
twenty one Popes having chosen it, none
have chosen it since the death of John
XXII., in 141G. The first Pope bearing
the name of Plus took the position in
142, and the name did not reappear after
his death till 1853.

The Winnsboro Meps says people may
be under the pleasing delusion that the
acceptance of the Consolidation Act will
leave q total debt of only $5,965, 900.
This is an error, unfortunately. The out
standing consolidation coupons and bo-
nanza warrants reach sl,049,62s. Be-
sides this there are proven bills of the
Bank Of the State for S739,179 and an
unknown amount not proven. The
cheering intelligence is also given that
the liability of the State on account of the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad will
not be more than s755, 900, with interest
Heaven knows how much. Then there
are Spartanburg aud Union Railroad
bonds. With funded debt Of $685.
900, floating debt Of sl,7S5,OOO, and a
contingent liability of $755,OO0, and per-
haps more, always "with interest,"" the
State has no reason to feel purse-proud.
The dog isn't so dee dee fat after all.
