A HOME REBUKE OF Mr.. HoAR's
DEMAGoGUIsM.-Consider the situation
Mr.. Hoar had singled out JEFF. Davis as
"the representative man" of the Confed-
eracy, for which many of his colleagues
in the Senate-nay, one of the Cabinet
ministers-had fought. What attitude
would lie have had these men takei
Could they honorably see this odium put
on one man, as representative of their
common crime, and not protest as men
of honor? Would any other coufse have
been manly or decent7 We know not
what dictates of honor guide the author
of the above proposition, but we feel and
we confess that Mr.. Hoar's proposition
put every Southern man in that body
who had participated in the rebellion
under JEFF. Davis on his honor to stand
by the record of that man. Mr.. Hoar
knew it would have that inexorable ef-
feet, and it was the unspeakable cunning
of a partisan demagogue to stir sectional
passion and enkindle anew expiring Sec
tional hates by device so contemplate.

government and a termination of the Off
cial frauds and swindles perpetrated
under the forms of law. 1t is the mission
of the Democratic party to give the
country these coveted and essential
boons. 1t should stand up squarely and
boldly for their attainment, and, if there
is any row over the action of the present
Congress, it will be traceable to the re-
sistance Of a Republican President,
which is not to be Stunned but fairly
met. The evil-doers always war with
the good, and, if the policy of the present
Congress is what it should be, there is no
doubt that it will be bitterly fought by
the Republicans. Such opposition, how
ever, instead of rejecting upon the Dem
ocratic party, will only cause its strength
to appear before the country. Such a
change has never been quietly submitted
to by corrupt party which is about to
pass from power, and when the Herald
urges the Democrats to have no conflict
with the President, it simply begs them
to throw away the present opportunity
by receding from the position which is
right and for the good of all sections of
the Union, and by pursuing such weak,
cowardly and ignoble course to allow the
Republicans who have brass, and never
without any more desirable qualifications,
to retain for an indefinite period in the
future the government which they have
SO mischievously administered in the
nast

An old rule of the United States SEN
ate, which was adopted on the motion of
Mr.. Mason, of Virgins, many years ago,
prohibits the removal of the subordinate
employees of the Senate except upon the
approval Of the Vice President. This
gives Mr.. Wheeler power to prevent the
change of employees of the Senate by
the Democratic party. Under ordinary
circumstances the rule would be good
one, but it is about the emily characseris-
tic of Mr.. Mason's time which remains
in the Senate. That body should either
return in its workings to the purity and
constitutionality of proceeding which
marked its deliberations fifty years ago,
or repeal Mr.. Mason's rule in order that
the whole may be symmetrical.

A CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION
Sheriff Bowen received bench warrant
from Darlington County yesterday in
structing him to arrest a colored man
named Z. II. Deas, who is wanted in that
county to answer to a charge of larceny.
After search the sheriff found Deas
quietly ensconced In the United States
Marshal's office, and when he attempted
to arrest him he was informed by the
Marshal and by the assistants of the
United States District Attorney that
Deas was held in their custody as wit
ness for the government in certain cases
which are to be tried ct the April term
of the Court. The sheriff then offered to
give a bond for the appearance of Deas
at the time required if the United States
officials would turn him over to his Gus
tody. 1t then leaked out that Deas had
voluntarily surrendered himself to the
Marshal as witness and refused to give
bond for his appearance.
The truth of the matter is that Deas is
a Radical politician in Darlington Coun-
ty of some notoriety. In order to escape
prosecution for stealing, he has fed for
refuge to the United States officials, who,
in consideration of his political creed,
have received him with open arms and
are now sheltering him from justice.
OF course the witness story is too trans
parent to need much comment; the OBJ
ject being to give Deas the opportunity
to escape when the State authorities least
expect it. Sheriff Bowen told the Mar
shall that he was determined 10 execute
the warrant if possible, and proposed to
arrest Deus if lie ever ventures out of his
haven of refuge without the escort Of q
United States Deputy Marshal, He &C.
cordingly stationed q Deputy Sheriff on
guard, aud the United States officials
seeing that their little game of bluff
would not work, finally consented to COM
NIT the prisoner 20 Jail, where he is now
held subject to the order of the United
States Marshal, and also upon the bench
warrant from Darlington. 1t now re-
mains for the courts to decide whether
the State or the United States has the
right to take possession of him.-Ners

MORE ARREsTs.-The BanwcH People
gives the following account of the arrest
of several citizens of that county BY
United States officials upon the charge Of
intimidation in the late election:
"On Monday last the following gentle
men of this county were arrested and
brought before United Commissioner w.
]. Mixson for alleged intimidation in the
late election: DR.. J. c. Miller, Hon. L.
w. Youmans, c. F. Connolly, B. F. Hogg,
Capt. VIM. Peoples, Shadd Boyles, Will
son Williams, and Henry Goodge. Upon
examination DR.. Miller and Mr.. Boyles
were discharged. Mr.. Youmans, Connolly
and Capt. Peoples were bound over to
the United States Court. AS we 90 to
press the cases against B. F. Hogg, Will
son Williams and Henry Goodge have
not been disposed of, but it is probable
that they will be discharged"
United States Commissioner Hutchin-
son has also arrested the three managers
of election at the Summerville poll in
Colleton County upon the charge of bal
lot box stufiing. The prisoners all gave
bond for their appearance at the April
term of the Court.

MORE JUDGES INDICrED.-In the
United States District Court at Lynch
burg, Va, on the Goth of March, the
Grand Jury, in obedience to the instruc-
tions of Judge Rives, found true bills Of
indictment against nine County Judges,
as follows: John G. Hayth, of Campbell
county; John T. Brown, of Nelson
Wingfcld Griffin, of Roanoke; w. B.
Simmons, of Botetour; John A. Whar-
ton, of Bedford; S. II. Henry, of Am
herst; Henry I. Parrish, of Appomat-
tox; D. w. Bowlcs, of Flouvana, and
John Hill, of Buckingham. These
Judges are indicted under the fourth
clause of the Civil Rights Bill for failing
to place negroes on juries in their several
counties. 1t is understood one or more
of the Judges will surrender themselves
prisoners when their case shall be reach
ed on the docket, without waiting for
process to issue, and at once go to Chief
Justice Waite on writs Of habeas corpus,
so that these cases may be adjudicated in
the United States Supreme Court at the
same time with the cases of the Judges
who were indicted at Danville and ar.
rested few days ago.

In the United States Senate the prop
osition to elect subordinate officers was
the occasion for debate which shows in
a favorable light the intention Of the
Democratic party to be temperate and
just with as little of partisanship as is
consistent with the welfare of the public
service. The following telegraphic syn
opsis of the debate shows the temper of
the Senate:
Anthony said that nothing he could
do would prevent the foregone conclu-
sion of the majority to make sweeping
change Of officers, not because it was de.
manded by duty, but because partisan
ship demanded it. AS one who held in
respect, if not reverence, the precedents
and usages of the Senate, he desired to
enter his protest against the personal
inconvenience to which they would all
be subjected, and the disturbance of the
order of the business of the Senate which
would occur by an abrupt change of Off
GERS. He mentioned the names of sew
eral officers of the Senate who had never
been disturbed in their official relations
to the body.
Hamlin followed Anthony, saying he
hoped party spirit would not run riot in
the Senate.
Wallace replied that there was no in
tention to interfere with business or
break down the life of the Senate. The
majority desired that tile Offices held so
many years by Republicans should be
filled by gentlemen politically in accord
with the majority Of the Senate. They
had gentlemen abundantly qualified to
| fill them.
Conkling uttered his regrets at the fact
that the officers of the Senate were to be
displaced.
Mr.. Bayard was impressed with the
speech of Senator Anthony as it con-
tained matters of historic interest. He
regarded as dangerous and degrading
the rewarding of partisans with govern
ment places. 1t had entered the civil
service of the country and unless it
could be in great degree modified it
would increase to the dctriment of good
government. The bestowal Of office
should be in consideration of the welfare
of the country, the dignity of the govern
ment and the purity of our institutions.
The power of appointment to Offices
in this body had fallen to his party. He
did not understand that it contemplated
any such slaughter of innocence as was
contemplated by the opposite side. OBJ
hol eh tI,of ioetaol &c J5aI
eral Offices having been bestowed for the
good of the country with capable and
honest incumbents, they had been used
for years for the benefit of a single party.
Those here who now complain never
neglected to fill the Offices with their
friends.
The debate was further participated in
by Senators Beck, Blaine, Hill, and
others, and at a late hour the Senate pro-
ceeded to vote and elected the officers
recently nominated by the Democratic
caucus,

The Circuit Court of Pickens County
has Just closed. The business was rap
idly disposed OF. and the people of Pick
ems are rejoicing in the revolution effect
ed by the new Judges, which gives them
the opportunity of getting their business
promptly attended to. Pickens is one of
the finest mountain sections that we have
ever seen, and with its rich lands, broad
and fertile valleys, healthy climate and
industrious population, is destined to be-
come one of the most flourishipg sections
of the whole South at no distant day.

The Central National Bank of Colum-
bis was swindled out of FIVE hundred
dollars recently by one J. Kingsley, pro-
fessirg to hail from St. Croix, Minnesota,
who came to Columbia with g beautiful
girl protesting to be his daughter. He
represented himself to be engaged in a
large transfer Of real estate at Ridgeway,
and exhibited certified checks and letters
of credit from q st. Paul Bank, which ne
deposited as collateral to secure the loan
he had effected, and then put out for the
North. The swindle was soon discovered,
and the police of Chester we're tele-
graphed to arrest him, but unfortunately
Gagged the wrong man, thus letting the
forger and his fair accomplice escape.
During their stay in Columbia they crea-
ted sensation, and received considerable
attention on their visits to the State
House, Penitentiary and other public
places. at the Penitentiary the forger
entered into conversation with Col. Lips
comb, the Superintendent, and stated
that he had visited some forty penal
institutions, and thought the one under
Col. Lipscomb as we'll managed as any
he had ever seen. It locks comical to
see man preparing to commit forgery
and swindling going to the Penitentiary,
examining its arrangements, and fatter-
ing the Superintendent as if to gain his
friendship in case of detection and
sentence for the crime he was about to
commit. The case is q fair repetition of
the Harris swindle which occurred here
some years ago, and we hope the perpe-
traitor may be afforded the privilege of
spending many years in the institution
with whose management he professed to
be SO highly pleased.
