The Republicans charge the Demo
Gratis with election frauds, and by packed
juries and false witnesses they have sue
ceeded in convicting some of the accused
parties, but their course is not likely to
meet the approval of the American peo-
pie, for on no account will they ever
consent to have the courts of justice con-
verted into engines of oppression or
machines for grinding out political cap
ital. If every Democrat in South Caro-
lima had cheated in the last election, the
consequences of the offence would have
been little compared to the evils likely
to flow from the perversion of the courts
of justice of which the Republicans are
guilty. Whatever may be said of the
election cases, their force for the Repub-
licans will be oyershadowed by the reck-
less crime of the Republicans in attempt
ing to procure convictions even at the
expense of polluting the very fountains
of Justice. Convictions under the cir
cumstances cannot be looked upon by
fair. men as any more than an exhibition
of the dangerous power which is pos
sessed by the Republican party which
controls the Federal Courts, and of the
reckless and violent use which that party
has made of its control.

WHAT Is THE COUNTRY COMING TO!

A United States Circuit Judge has
decided that participation in treason, re-
bellion and insurrection are not disgrace
full before the law. Is the Republican
party preparing for new rebellion, and
at present engaged in manufacturing a
public sentiment in its favor? These
offences have always been held disgrace
full before the law, but Judge Bond re-
verses the doctrine. Would it not be
well for the Democrats to quote this
decision in reply to the hackneyed abuse
of the South by the Radicals. The
South has found new vindicator in
Judge Bond, but from such vindication
the country at large should desire to be
delivered. 1t will hardly become famous
as the enunciation of a great principle
in the law of nations. 1t is, however,
remarkable as the first decision that we
have met from the Judiciary of any
country holding that participation in
treason, rebellion and insurrection is not
disgraceful.

The Republicans of the United States
Senate nominated and voted for ex-col-
ored Congressman Rainey for Secretary
of the Senate, a position to which they
knew that they could not elect any per-
son, with view of exhibiting their
friendly disposition to give the negro an
Office. Rainey, however, was not to be
satisfied with an empty honor. He has
been so accustomed to enjoying the re-
ceipt of his living from the public crib,
that he does not see how it is possible for
him to get along without some public
position; and as the people of South
Carolina we're too ungrateful, as he views
it, to return him to Congress, he has in
his extremity turned to the President for
an appointment, asking for the position
of Third Auditor of the Treasury, which
is very comfortable and desirable posi-
ton. But the Radicals have no idea of
giving good place to colored man;
and therefore one of Zach Chandler's
friends from Michigan obtained it, and
Mr.. Sherman, the Secretary of the Treas
ury, offered to give the ex-Congressman
minor clerkship instead. This Rainey
refused, and since his new discontinue
it is said that he is very much disgusted
with the negro's chance for Office at the
hands of the Republican party.

Spartanburg Herald: Mr.. John Garri.
son, near Tyron, had his crib and eight
hundred bushels of corn, lot of tobacco,
three wagons, two oxen and one COW de-
stroyed by fire, the work of an incen-
diary, last Friday night, the 4th inst.
Loss about two thousand dollars. The
fine old mansion at Cherokee Ford Iron
Works, occupied by Capt. F. G. Latham,
agent, was accidentally destoyed by fire
on Friday, the 1lth inst. The flames
spread so rapidly that Capt. Latham
only succeeded in saving some of his
clothing and q few articles of furniture.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from q coal dropping from the cook
stove. Loss of building and furniture,
&C., estimated at about $4,000.
Spartanburg Spartan Two car loads
of large walnut logs came down the
Asheville Road Monday. They are to
be shipped to the North, there sawed up
and made into furniture and then
shipped back to us......From various
parts Of the county we have gathered the
information that farmers are quite for
ward with their work. Cotton planting
is now commencing in earnest. Peaches
have been killed in low and exposed
places. On the high ridges an abun-
dance has been left.
Abbeyille Medium: Our announce.
ment that Mr. Burt would, at no distant
day, retire from the bar, was unauthor-
lied and premature. Our exchanges
that copied our statement will please
publish this correction. The gold fever
in the lower part of the county has not
abatcd yet. The prospects hold out as
well as when the first vein was struck,
and the more sanguinc are hopeful Of
early fortunes.
Barnwell People,! The rice crop in this
section was slightly damaged by the re-

the late freeze has seriously injured for
ward wheat.
Chester Reporter: On Saturday, 5lh

five thousand dollars of the Chester and

retired last year ut r. 2.....Since the 1st of

the office Of the clerk of the court Of this
county seven hundred and sixty liens,
mostly for small amounts.
Kershaw Gazette: There has been
considerable difference made in freight
over the South Carolina Railroad during
the past eight or ten days. Some of our
merchants complain that the advance on
former rates is altogether unbearable.
Orangeburg Democrat: A quantity of
lumber is passing down the river on its
way to Charleston or Beaufort market.
This is source of considerable income
to many of our citizens, and doubtless
yields larger profits than cotton at the
present prices. Colleton and portion
of Hampton are also large dealers in
ranging and sawn lumber.

HAMPTON IN WASHINGTON.
y Touching and Impressive Scene In the
Senate when the Great man of South
Carolina Took his Seat
WASHINGTON. April II

WASHINGTON, April II.
The arrival of Senator Hampton, of
South Carolina, yesterday, was the occa-
sion of all manner of expressions of
kindness and good will towards him,
for he has thousands of friends and ad-
mirers in Washington. The welcome ac-
corded him is not only that shown an il
lustrious statesman or renowned soldier,
but such rs is deserved by q man who
adds to sound sense and. true bravery a
patriotism which makes him utterly for
get self in his all-absorbing desire to do
good for his country and his fellow men.
As heard a well-known Virginian put it
to-day, "Wade Hampton had rather the
people would believe, as they do, that
he tries to do his whole duty faithfully
than to be regarded as the greatest of lv.
ing men," Your correspondent felt glad
that he had ct last come, because the
South wants practical statesmen in Con-
gress who will make the most of things as
they are and not as they ought to be, ac-
cording to some Bourbonic theory of the
past. When he was sworn in the vast
crowd in the gallery watched the pro-
ceedings with an interest more intense
than has been yet exhibited when the
oath was administered to any other SEN
ator. lie was somewhat pale, and showed
that he had suffered great deal during
his affection, and every man and woman
in the Senate Chamber looked ready to
pray that he might be made strong again
ior the good of the people, not only of
South Carolina, but of the whole land.
The South has right to be proud of her
representative statesman, for he is
Brave Knight, and true, rs ever drew
His sword with gallant Roland,
Or fell by Sobieski's side
For love of martyred Poland;
Or stood with Cromwell's Ironsidcs,
OK fought with Great Gustavus,
Or OH the field of Austcrlitz
Pourel out his dying aves.
The South Carolina delegation met
Governor Hampton at the depot and es-
cortcd him to his quarters ON Capitol
Hill, near the Senate Chamber. He
subsequently went to the Senate, and was
sworn in. The South Carolina members
already seem strengthened by his pres
ence, for during all his illness they
seemed more concerned about his re.
covery than if he had been allied to them
by the strongest ties of blood. They be-
licvc, as l do, that q change of climate
and scene will benefit him, if he is not
tempted into working beyond his
strength. .-Ncrs and Courier.

Judge Bryan deserves the highest
appreciation of every person for the
firm, able and independent position he
has assumed in regard to the political
trials now progressing. Without es-
pousing either the prosecution or the
defense, he has held the law with that
dignity, force and impartiality which is
the highest ornament of those who wear
the judicial ermine, and the greatest Sc
curity of free people. In these trials
the venerable Judge has shown a clear
conception of the law. and readiness to
enforce it according to his conception.
The differences between him and Judge
Bond will be certified up to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and there
finally determined in manner, we have
no doubt. which will reflect most favora-
bly, upon the legal lore Of the faithful
Judge. If the views of Judge Bryan
are carried out, the political complexion
of the cases will be taken from them,
and they will be tried simply as violations
of the law, without reference to their
political bearing. This is as it should
be. 1t is much to be regretted that
these cases are tried under such strong
political auspices, and that the contest is

Gently opened on the corner of Main and
Taylor streets, and was formerly resi-

years of age, and left a wife and several
small children. His wife had just left
the room where he was about three or
four minutes, when a pistol shot was
heard within, and on the wife going to
him he was found lying on his side
speechless, with his clothes on fire and
the pistol on the bed by his side. The
ball entered Just below the nipple, be-
tween the third and fourth ribs, passing
through the heart and lodging under the
spine between the seventh and eighth ribs.
No one was in the room with him when
the shot was fired. He lived about ten
minutes, and never spoke, though he
tried to do so several times. The coro-

THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL.

The discussion in the United States
Senate on the Army Appropriation Bill
still continues. The Republican party
in Congress is a unit in opposition to the
repeal of the obnoxious provisions of the
Revised Statutes of the United States,
which practically place the juries of the
Federal Courts in the South and the bal
lot-boxes of the whole country under the
control of the Federal government; thus
giving to the party in power the oppor-
tunity of controlling the elections and
making the Federal Courts huge polti-
Cal machines for party success and OPP
preston. In South Carolina we know
what it is to have our people murdered,
and the murderers wrested from the State
authorities and set at liberty without
trial, and we know what the use of
troops, marshals, deputy marshals and
supervisors mean at the polls on the day
of election. The discussion of these
questions in Congress will produce rev.
olution in public sentiment, which in
1880 will whirl from power the party
which advocates such measures Of
tyranny and oppression. In the debate
in the Senate on the provisions of the
Army Appropriation Bill WHICH rcpcals
these obnoxious Statutes, Mr.. Randolph,
of New Jersey, tells what he knows Of
the use of United States troops in slls-
tanning fraudulent State governments as
follows:
