PERHAPS the oldest result of the redis-
tricting Of South Carolina is that Msckey,
Sam Lee and SmalIs, the three negro Re
publican contestants from that State last ses-
sion, are all thrown into one district, that
which is expressly known as the 'bIack."
They are all candidates for denomination,
and are conducting one of the most bitter
contests that ever took place in that State.
THERE Is a small set of dog-in-the-maR-
ger Democrats in Georgia who oppose the
election of Alexander H. Stephens for gov
ernor in back-hsnded sort of way. They
say he can't be elected; that his nomination
was = put-up job; that he is too much of
this, too little of that, and nothing at all of
the other thing. The old man has got the
people by the heart-strings, and they will
elect him handsomely.
The independent voter will be abroad at
the Massachusetts congressional elections
this fall. A circular sigued by over 1000
business and professional men, among them
Edward Atkinson, Presidents Eliot and
ChadbourRe, Mark Hopkins and Charles
Francis Adams, jr., has been issued, calling
upon all friends of civil-service reform to
vote for no candidate for Congress who is
not distinctly committed 10 measures Of re-
form in the methods of appointment to office.
ATroRNEY-GENERAL BREwsTER is only
awaiting the return of Secretary Chandler to
Washington in order to appoint, as in 1875,
horde of United States marshals to super
wise the November elections in the South.
But why Mr.. Chandler? because" the Phil
adelphia Record says, "since going to sea in
the Tallapoosa, he has become an orthodox
marine, able to believe any tale of Southern
outrage that might be told him."
NOWADAYS everybody calls it "Jeffersoni-
an Democrats" but Jeffersonian Republic
cans" is nearer to the phraseology of Jeffer-
sons own times, and little juggling of the
words might captivate the colored ear
and confuse the scheming of the so-called
Republicans of our day. Nor can the use
of the words mislead any well-informed per-
son respecting their Specification. Jefierson's
opinions are too well known to permit mis-
representation.
THE New Orleans Taes-DemOcrat says
that Mr. Kellogg's chances for election in

exceptions, stand firm. The best informed

PINcHBACK was interviewed by New
York Sun reporter on Saturday last. The
I reporter asked: "What is the great issue
upon which the political parties of the South
coutend?" 1.-THE Offices" replied Mr.. Pinch
back promptly and emphaticaily. "The Of
fees are our sole great issue. To be sure, We
make a great deal OF noise about the need oil
internal Improvements, ETC., but throwing al
nonsense aside, the offices are what bring the
patriots to the front, and it is so everywhere
In some places they try to disguise the real
issue, but we don't down there" Pinchback
doubtless had Chalmers in his eye.
