WAITS FROM WASHINGTON.
An Indignant Howl From the Loyal rrc...


WAsHINGToN, June 17.-The Radical
campaign against South Carolina is fair
ly under way. The y. y. Tibunc to-
day prints with immense display of
itahcs considerable portion Of the
"Edgefeld' letter to Tile Ncus and Cou-
rier and its comments thereon, recently
published. The extracts are headed,
Bourbon Mora! Deprayity," and the
head lines pronounce it an attack on
"the law providing for fair vote" In
an editorial on the subject entitled, "a
Shocking Revelation" the Tribune goes
into mock spasms over the enormity Of
the sentiments expressed. In conclud-
ing it says: "This astonishing com.
pound of immortality and blasphemy is
called by the leading Democratic news
paper Of the State strong and straight
forward. Comment is superiluous upon
Il revelation like this"
There is no better argument for the
repeal Of the separate box clause of the
law than this raving in its behalf by the
Tribune. The Tribune also notes the
fact that Nat Myers, who was "guilty OF
treason to the Republican party in 1876"
and recently discharged from the postal
service by the postmaster general on the
application Of Mackey, Smal!s and Lee,
has been provided with another place as
stated-in Tile Aews and Courier. This
reappointment is made directly by the
President. If Myers becomes a national
issue, as this attack seems TO indicate,
can furnish some inside facts connected
with the matter which cannot be used at
present
The Washington Republican this morn
ing contains recent letter Of Charles
II. Noise, of Sumter, to the Augusta
Chr0nictc, stating ;hat Mackey wa. elcc.
ted to the seat he now holds, and that
the Democrats know it, Tho Republican
styles the letter "Bourbons admitting
!lieir own rascality." This bush whack,
ing is gloated over.
The opposition Of Mr.. Bond Pom
Lowndes to the improvement Of the
Santee River is persistent. He had n
memorial struck Of and sent to every
member Of tho commerce committee
yesterday which neutralized Col. Rich.
ardsons efforts. This "as the memorial
Cox had printed in the Record to-day.
A great many Republicans only need q
small excuse like this to decline to pass
the appropriations for the South Col
Richardson knew nothing of this memo
rial Of six planters until he saw it in the
| Record this morning.
1t is understood that the sub.commit-
tee on elections are agreed that Congress-
man Richardson is elected and that q
report favorable to him will be made,
but in view of the prayers of Republi-
cans it may not be presented until the
next session, in order not to discourage
Lees constituents.
President Haskell, of the Charlotte
road, and General Manager T. 81. r.
Talcott, of the Richmond and Danville,
were here yesterday cndcavoring to get
fast mail train re. established between
| Washington and Atlanta, and also to
Augusta. They stated that the roads
were now in fine order, and that fast
schedule could be kept up, which was
not tho case before. In this interview
with tho postnaster-generel the latter
took much interest in the subject, and it
is probable the contract will be renewed.
| Maj. Harry Hammond has been here
tion and statistics for the forthcoming
handbook of South Carolina. he re.
ceived much data, especially in regard
to the fisheries Of the State, and returned
to-day
1t is proposed to hold Republican
caucus Tuesday next, to consider the
course of the party in regard to the
pending bill reduVing the internal reve
nuo taxation. The disposition is to unite
and to defeat it for fear it be amended
so as to include tobacco, &c.
Nearly everybody Is agreed that ad-
journment will take place between the
10th and Goth July. IF there is much Of
q fight over the naval appropriation bill,
as expected, the latter date will be the
most probable. = Correspondence Mems and
