The St. Paul Pioneer Press, Mime
sofa Radical paper, says: "Soutb Caro-
lima Democrats place themselves in an
awkward position in their anxiety to
show that the negroes permitted none of
their number to vote the Democratic
ticket. Where did Hampton's majority
come from, then2 1t must have been the
tissue ballots. Fraud and bulldozing are
the two horns of the Democratic dilemma
in South Carolina" The Pioneer Press
has only read one side of the South Car
olina. testimony. The negroes would not
permit their race to vote the Democratic
ticket where they could help it, but there
were great many who could not be pre-
vented from voting the ticket which all
sensible and honest men voted in this
State, and thousands of colored men who
were not certain as to the proper ticket
to vote of their own will stayed away
from the polls and did not vote. Its
ignorance of South Carolina politics is
displayed when it wonders where Hamp-
toms majority came from. He could not
help receiving majority, for no one ran
against him. Fifty votes in the State
would have elected him. In future we
advise the Pioneer Press to either inform
itself about South Carolina matters OF
shut up. Its show of malice and gross
ignaronce is both unpardonable and un-
parallelled.

Honest John j. Patterson, who for the
last six years has been permitted for
some wise, but to all human appearances
inscrutable purpose, to disgrace South
Carolina in the United States Senate,
announces that after the 3rd of March
next, the date upon which his term of
Office expires, he will return to his home
in Pennsylvania. The five years of
good stealing which he thought in 1876
was still in South Carolina has totally
disappeared, and instead thereof his
dreams are now disturbed by the vision
OF twenty-five years Of work in the South
Carolina penitentiary which awaits him
if he should return and receive his just
rewards for the many crimes he has COM
mitted in this State. He should not be
allowed to retire to Pennsylvania, or any
where else, until after he has been
brought to South Carolina snd stood his
trial. The State owes it to its own dig
nifty, and to the preservation of the honor
and integrity of our public service, that
such career as Patterson's should end
where it ought to have bagun-in the
penitentiary.

Our Tenure Of Life

Depends in O great measure upon our regard
for or neglect of the laws Of health. II we
violate them we cannot expect to make
old bones" But that thespan of existence
allotted to naturally delicate constitution,
or one which has been shaken by disease
may be materially heightened, is fact of
which we have daily proof. The vivifying
and restorative influence of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters upon o failing physique
affords a.striking illustration of the power
of judicious medication to strengthen the
hold on life. Restored digestion, complete
assimilation, renewed appetite, sound re-
pose, these are among the benefits con-
ferred upon the debilitated by that gu
preme rcnovant. With circulation en-
riched, frame invigoratcd, and a nervous
system tranquilizcd, The invalid, after q
course of the Ditters, feels that his life
tenure is no longer the precarious thing
that it was-that he may yet enjoy "green
old age"

Germ in Utah, AMI delegations of men
and women have been sent to Washing
ton from that territory to intercede for
the polygamists. The men have been
looking after the President and members
of Congress, while the women have been
paying their addresses to Mrs. Hayes,
and urging her interccssion in their be-
half. One of the members of this conf
mittee is daughter of the late Brigham
Young. They ask of Congress for their
people amnesty for all violations Of the
act of 1862. and such legislation as will
legitimatize their children beyond all
question, keep their names from being
dishonored, and preserve unbroken the
relationship of families as they now ex-
ist." Such requests are in accordance
with humanity, and as these people have
committed the crime of bigamy in the
infatuation and zeal of an heretical re"
ligion, it is but right that the past should
be forgiven them, and their families
shielded from the dishonor and disad-
vantages that would attend the enforce
ment of the act in cases which occurred
previous to the decision of the Supreme
Court The idea of calling officially on
the lady of the White House is, however,
a novel proceeding to say the least of it,
and is probably without Q parallel in the
history of our government. 1t has given
rise to considerable comment, and every
where the people of the United States
want to know whether the government is
controlled by the man or the lady Of the
White House. Some enterprising repor-
ter ought to interview Mrs. Hayes, and
let US know what her views are in regard
to Mormonism. We thought that the
country has two presidents at this time
one (N1r. Tilden) is president de jure, and
the other (Mr. Hayes) is de .tacto presi-
dent through fraud; but now it seems
that we are still more fortunate as ma
ton, for we not only have president
de jure, but two presidents de fdcto.
Hereafter communications to the Chief
Executive of the United States should
be addressed to Their ErceAencies Mr..
and Mrs. Hayes, presidents, dc.

It is said that during the present year
fifteen thousand Mennonites will settle
in the Western portion of the United
States, coming hither from Russia.
They are German Baptists, who have
conscientious scruples against fighting,
and have up to this time for many years
resided as q colony in Russia, where
through their ancestors they have been
granted immunity from any military
duty. This guarantee has been removed
by the Russian government, and hence
they are moving out to a country where
both civil and religious liberty prevail.
We presume that the reason they select
the United States is that they feel that
they will have no fighting to do here
whether they are especially exempt or
not, for nation which will allow its
Presidency to be stolen and occupied by
the party taking it without showing any
resistance is composed of such meek peo-
pie that they will not fight over any
thing.

Since the rendition of the decision of
the United States Supreme Court which
sustains the act of Congress for the sup
preston of polygamy in the territories
of the United States, the Mormons begin
to realize that their practice of having
more than one wife is doomed to end
very speedily, and the more reasonable of
their number do not seek any legislation
looking to a perpetuation of the prac-
tice, but simply ask that those who have
already married more than one wife shall
be exempted from the penalties Of the
law, and their family relations allowed
to remain as it was before the rendition
of the decision declaring the act of Con-
gress on the subject constitutional. To
pursue any other course would be to put
about half of the citizens of Utah in the
penitentiary, and to illegitimatize more
than one-half of the children. 1t seems
reasonable that amnesty for the past
should be granted, but that the provis-
ions of the law should be rigidly enfor-
ced in all cases of bigamy which may
hereafter occur, whether they be among
the Mormons or any other population.
This subject has elected tho deepest. con-

There is said to be petition, signed by
many Democrats, in circulation to be
presented to the Governor for the pardon
of Cardoza and Smalls. These individ-
uals have been fairly convicted of crimes
while in Office during the flush days of
Radicalism by juries composed Of both
white and colored citizens. They are
both intelligent men and representative
men of their race. They were leaders,
and under all the circumstances we can
not see a single circumstance to mitigate
their crimes. They are both bad and
vindictive men, who have used their edu-
cation and influence to mislead the col
ored people and stir up strife between
the races in South Carolina for the pur-
pose of giving themselves the opportu-
nifty to grow rich by fraud and corrup-
ton in office. If there ever were two
scamps who deserve to be punished by a
justice-loving and law-abiding people
these are the men, and the citizen,
whether he be a Democrat or Repub-
lican, who can sign petition for execu-
tive clemency in their cases, must have
very loose views of the iniquity of bribery
and corruption in Office. If any petition
is presented for their pardon, it, with the
signatures thereto, should be published
in order that the people of South Caro-
lima may know who desires the liberia
tion OF two of the greatest rascals that
were developed in the days when it was
fashionable to find rascals in high places.
To grant them pardon would in our
opinion be grievous mistake, for, like
L. Cass Carpenter, they would only leave
to curse the government which would
give them liberty. We have no idea
that Gov. Simpson would grant any par
don, for his sense of duty will no doubt
lead him to view the case of these men
as very serious one, growing out of the
commission of grave and inexcusable
crimes. If we continue to punish petty
thieves, the rich and influential ones
should not be turned free without any
reward for their crimes. Let Cardozo
and Smalls lead the van of Radical State
officers to the penitentiary, and Chamber
lain and Patterson follow at an early
day. Justice will then have begun to
fall upon the most guilty heads.

According to the Augusta Gronicl,

According to the Augusta Chronicle
and C0nstitutionaE;st the majority of the
Republicans in the United States Senate
in 1870 was As; in 1871 WAS so; in 1872
was 46; in 1873 was 4S; in 1874 was S5;
in 1875 was SO; in 1876 was 13; in 1877
was II; in 1878 was 2, counting Judge
Davis with the Democrats. After the
4th of next month the Republicans lose
the control of the Senate, and the Demo-
crats take charge with the comfortable
majority of 10. Both branches of Con-
gress will then be Democratic, and after
Is years of Radicalism the legislation of
the country will once more be shaped by
the Democrats, and after the election of
1880 we will not only have both branches
of Congress, but the Presidency also, un-
less present indications fail US. The
country will then witness a return to
good and economical government.

Noses have been counted in the Lower
House of the Michigan Legislature and
q majority of the members are reported
to favor woman's suffrage, and an effort
is likely to be made to strike the word
"male" out of the laws relating to suf-
frage. AS Che men of Michigan have no
better sense than to allow the State to be
run by such Radicals as Zach Chandler,
the country could not suffer much by any
experiment they may choose to make in
regard to suffrage. Perhaps the fair
sex would have the discretion and pa
triotism to give the State, a respectable
government to prove themselves worthy
of the ballot. If they want to try it the
balance of the country can sit off and
look on with the complacent assurance
that the politics of Michigan cannot be
changed for the worst by the experiment.

The latest caprice of General Grant, if
the newspaper accounts are to be be-
ieved, is to return home and be assigned
the position of head of the army for life,
with, the rank of Marshal. He is quoted
as rot caring for the Presidency if such
a position should be assigned him. Cen
eral Grant feels that America owes him
a living, and the salary is all that he
cares for. If he can get position for
life he will take it, or if necessary he will
take the Presidency again to get the
money he wants. There is some doubt,
however, about the people giving him
either place. The General must remem-
Der that Republics are ungrateful, and il
he does not get all Of the rewards he
would like, still he can console himself
with the reflection that he has already
had a great deal more than he deserved.

The Radicals are having an interesting
family quarrel in the fight which is going
on between the President on the one side
and Conkling on the other over the ap-
pointment of the Custom House and
Naval officers of New York. Some
months ago the President removed
Arthur and Cornell, friends of Conkling,
and replaced them by favorites of the
administration, basing the action upon
the charge of mismanagement and other
irregularities upon the part of those dis
missed. The lordly Conkling now seeks
to get even with the administration by
having these new appointments rejected
by the Senate. The contest is expected
to be q very close and bitter one on this

Senator Window, Of Minnesota, has

ment of committee to mature plan for
the colonization of the negroes of the
South or scattering them through the
different Territories and States of the
Union, with view of guaranteeing to
them the rights which belong to them
under the Constitution. This is rather
an amusing proposition, inasmuch as it
is impossible to remove four millions Of
people, and, if it were possible, it would
be very inexpedient and hurtful to the
colored people themselves. The design

victs. Much of the mining is done nee
essarily with machinery, as the bulk of
the deposit of the State lie in waters of
an average depth of fifteen feet at mean
low water, except in Coosaw River. In
localities where hand labor is employed
these laborers must be skilled in the use
of the implements, and for this reason
no convict labor has SO far been employed
in mining in the waters of the State. In
the manipulation of rock, machinery is
employed almost entirely, and our phos-
phate rock constitutes only one of the
component parts of the commercial fer
tilizers, and as the quantity so used in
this country is proportionally much
smaller than in Europe, to prohibit the
expectation Of rock would be to destroy
the mining interest. Although this ex-
portation may be checked with advant-
age to the State by allowing rebate OF
royalty on all rock manufactured within
the borders of the State; although the
phosphate territory is probably more re-
stricted in limits than was at first sup
posed, there is no doubt of the fact that
the quantity of deposits within these
limits is immense and incapable of ex-
haustion for very long time to come.
In our opinion the proper and only
remedy under existing circumstances is
to re-apportion the entire phosphate area,
diminishing the extent of the tracts as
provided in phosphate acts of March,
1878. Give exclusive rights to small
areas for one or two years at furthest
with provision that they shall be for.
feited unless the work be begun during
the first year. The operations will thus
be confined to q comparatively small
area, and the amount of capital invested
which will always regulate itself to the
advantages of the localities, immensely
greater, the collection of the royalty
more certain and convenient, and thu
bulk of the phosphate territory remair
under the control of the State.
This protection will of course NEE
with opposition from the holders of these
exclusive grants, and especially from tina
class of holders who have no charter from
the State, as in the case of the Coosav
Mining Company and the Carolins Min
ing Company, which are joint stock com
panies. But we have never been able Il
understand why obligations induced b.
misrepresentation, if not by direct fraud
should be held more sacred and binding
than obligations knowingly entered int
by the State after considerable discussion
and much light having been thrown upol
the subject.
We do not mean to say that there vii
be no difficulties to be met with in ad
Ijusting the areas, or that they will b
readily overcome by agents who are ut
terly ignorant of business of great in
tricacy, but we do assert that if tn
administration of this property of tn
State is modelled after that Of the indi
vidual owner, and the same care, dill
gence and common sense management
exercised as in private concerns, tina
these phosphate beds will yield larg
income to the State and afford remunera
tive employment to large number Q
its now idle and suffering citizens.

Judge Christiancy, who has proven a
failure IS Senator from Michigan, will
accept TIE mission to Peru, which, it is
said, will be rendered him, and in that
event Zach Chandler, Grants old Secre-
tary of the Interior, is to be elected to
the Senate in his place. Would it not
LOOK familiar to the Republicans after
1880 TO see Grant President, with Chan
dIer, Logan, Carpenter and the other
Radical veterans in the Senate? Under
such an administration Belknaps, Bab-
cocks and sheppards would once more
be appreciated, and the country could
again boast Of, the distinction of having

the world. That is what the Radical
party wants.

The case of General G. w. @. Lee, of
Virginia, against the United States gov
ernment for the recovery of the Arling-
ton estate near Washington, which was
sold during the war for taxes due the
United States, and has since been used
as burying ground for Federal soldiers,
has terminated in favor of General Lee.
The taxes were rendered by an agent OF
General Lee, but the government refused
10 receive the money unless it was pre-
sented by General Lee himself, and, as
he was fighting on the Confederate side,
it was not altogether convenient nor pru-
dent for him to make personal tender
of the money. The Circuit Court, how
ever, very properly held that the govern
ment could not require the taxes to be
paid by any particular person, inasmuch
as it could only have an interest to the
value of the taxes, and therefore the sale
was void. This property Is situated upon
the Potomac, is beautiful location, and
is a very valuable estate. 1t was willed
General Lee by his grandfather, the late
g. W. P. Gusts, of Virginia. 1t thas
been in the family for many years, and is
priced on this account as well as on ac-
count of its exchangeable value. An
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States has been taken, but it is
not likely that the decision of the Circuit
Court will be reversed, and therefore
General Lee is pretty certain to regain
his patrimony, which prejudice on the
part Of government officials has induced
them to seek in au unwarranted manner
to take away from him.
