| SENATOR WADE HAMPTON has written A
long letter to the Charleston Nel5s and Courier
! upon the political situation in-South Caro-
lima. He thinks that an independent ia
worse than Radical, and urges the Demo-
crats to stand firm" As for himself. he
says: Il am anxious to withdraw from pub
| lie LIE at the earliest practicable and proper
moment, and / am therefore unwilling to
enter upon new duties or to assume new
responsibilities"
The spiritual adviser Of the murderer OF
President Garfield has, in his Judgment.
scored a success. The murderer admits that
| one might be mistaken as to the divine origin
OF an inspiration to commit murder. He
claims TO be Goods man" and the agent of
the Almighty TO save the country from Gar
field. Ii he is allowed to read the Stalwart
newspapers OF the day, that are blackguard-
| ing Garfield, they must have the tendency TO
| confirm his theory.-CincinRdfi Commercial
WHEN machine" methods of party organ
| izatlon degenerate into parody of represen-
| ldtiNe lnstltUtlOnS, and lead simply to record
| ing the will OF one man. the question of party
| success becomes subordinate to the larger
| question OF party vitality. If the machine"
| cannot be broken by the manifestation of
| popular preference as expressed in the nom
mating caucuses and conventions, the only
course open to resolute opposition is to APP
| real TO the mass vote OF the Party.-Net0 York

A PRoFANE but epigramatic Georgian
characterized the bill to regulate the count
| ing and decision of the electoral vote for
president and vice-president, with reference
to the quo trdTrdntO clause, as a bill "to raise
hell in the United States" This is better
| than Congressional Record full of speeches
10 illuminate the character and tendency of
this clause. 1t is better TO remain in the
present confusion and uncertainty than to
make the presidential title football for
! lawyers.
IT strikes US as slightly presumptuous a
| little bit cheeky as it were, that Upton
county should lay such vociferous claim to
the next representative in Congress imme-
distely on her admission into the Tenth dis
trlct. Ii Memphis proposes to monopolize
| the congressman in the future as she has in
the past, it will be of no avail for either of
the rural counties to put in a claim. But
certainly if the next Democratic candidate
is to come from the country, either Hardeman
or Fayette should furnish Understandable
tenn. Fd'ooH.
AND ConEliug is failure and the country
knows il. The New York Sun and the Chi
cago Netcs having published the Rosecrans
correspondence with assumptions that il
proved Garfield TO be weak and false man,
follow IL up with elaborate declarations that
he was false to Conkling also. 1t ia a put
up job for Conkling's benefit Every one
must have seen from the way that Conkling
stuck to Arthur the other day in New York
that he had retired from politics. All he
wants is personal vindicatiOn to help his law
business.-Ci Cincinnati Commercial
GOVERNOR BLACKBURN made confession
of religion at the Barnes meeting last week,
and will be confirmed at Christ Church, in
this city, next Sunday. Assistant State
Auditor Green confessed Tuesday night. and
Assistant Secretary of State Harris will do
likewise Saturday. There was never before
such a shaking OF dry bones in the capital
of Kentucky. Mr.. Barnes announced when
he came to Frankfort that the Lord had
promised him 1000 souls there, and that he
expected every State officer to be in the list
Up to last night the confessions numbered
1002.-Louisriite COuTier-Jourual.
THESE three men represent all the ele-
menis in conflict with the Democracy: Chal-
mers the dependent Democracy, Wimberly
he Greenbackers, and Hill the Republicans.
The Democrats may as we'll make up their
minds for the hottest and most closely con-
tested campaign that has been fought since
1875, when by supreme, superb effort the
State was redeemed from corrupt and incom-
petent aliens and Adventures. 1t is certain
that the Fusionists will make desperate at
tempts TO capture at least three Congressional
districts, one of which is the Second

DEMOCRATIC editors representing TWENTY
five counties have answered an inquiry ask
ing their choice for governor of New York.
MIR. Tilden is first and Congressman r. P.
Flower second in the affections of these OBJ
servers. The predictions of the editors about
the election this fall vary, only few are en-
tirely sanguine. One editor says that the
Democrats are used to defeats and can endure
one more, if they feel they deserve it. An
opinion was asked respecting Mr.. John
Kelly's behavior. Complete unanimity is
observable IN the replies. Each letter says
hat Mr. Kelly's conduct has been untoward
and !amentable. ...~
If the Stalwarts Of Peunsylvania 90 down
this fall they will do SO with flying colors.
At the meeting of the Republican caucus
last week at Harrisburg, the resolution 10
call a new State convention to placate the
noble band of sore-heads who have organized
a bolt, failed, and the vacancies on the ticket
were filled. Every effort at harmony short
of absolute surrender will be made by the
regulars, and if the party is defeated the
blame will be placed TO the credit of the bolt
ers who are running a ticket to defeat the
regular ticket, with no expectation OF elect
ing their own.-Chicago NeUs.
THE old lady of the Boston Advertiser ia
wr;nging her hands and tearing her hair in
despair over the announcement that Ex-
Attorney General Williams dares to make
a canvass for senator in Oregon. 1t ia little
too bad that Williams should think of re-
turning to Washington. The old woman,
however, should put on her spectacles and
show forgiveness in the case of the Lande-
lot scandal, as she did in the Credit Mobilier,
DeGolyer and Mulligan scandals. The Ad-
ueytiser ought to know that Williams is a
born New Engander.-Ne,1 York Commercial
Advertiser.
WHEN We recollect how the other South
ern States have been held in high Democratic
honor while they actually repudiated all but
a small fraction of an aggregate of debts
amounting to $243, 100000, well may we say,
Democracy, thy name is repudistionp' And
what is to be said in excuse of that Vrginian
who defends Reputation in North Carolina,
sippi, louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, etc,
and yet maligns Virginia by attributing the
basest dishonesty to her when she only de-
sires an equitable adjustment of her true
Indebtedness with her creditors? Shame,
shame, sHANE,-Richrnond Wing.
In the opinion of the New York Times,
so long as the electoral system prevails the |
only safe way sis to compel each State to
provide proper tribunal to determine its
own vote, and, failing this, to run the risk
of losing it unless both houses of Congress
shall unite in their decision regarding it."
In 1876 q State court Of Florida, having
jurisdiction in the premises, declared that
the Tilden electors had been duly chosen,
yet the vote OF the State was counted for
Hayes, though both houses of Congress did |
not unite in a decision. AS the Times sp
proved unquali6edly this fraudulent count,
it must be presumed that its opinion is not
good law as against defeated Republican |
candidates counted into office.-BGltimore |
