PUBLIC OPINION.

The colored brother has become an I'M
certainty in politics, and the able Republic
an leaders are curled up ON the anxious
seat.-Memphis Avalanche, Ind.
Mr.. Arthur is rapidly earning the reputa-
ton of being the worst President the Re
public ever had. Its only consolation lies
in the fact that it never elected him.-Den-
yer Tribune, Rep.
"The Pond bilr' was too suggestive of
water-drinking to suit the stomachs of Ohio
voters. The recent election in that State is
pitiful and earnest appeal for whisky
straight" Inter-Ocean, Rep.
The Cabinet changes are now complete.
No one of those who surrounded Garfield
remains, except Lincoln-and he is Stall
wart who is as harmless as he is devoted.
The Cabinet consists of six of kind and
Observation-Disclosures Press.
There is no third term in the plans of the
administration. The selection of Mr. W. E.
Chandler for place in the Cabinet will put
an end to speculation in this behalf A
second term for Arthur, rather than third
for Grant, is the objective point in current
political movement-Philadelp Record.
The vernoculsr press Will not be as po-
tent an agent with German electors as will
be the Brewers Association and interested
organizations of this kind, whose exertions
10 ALLEVIATE the Germans from what they
have come to regard as the party of prohibl
ton and Sabbatarianism will be vigorous
and we'll directed. The Republicans have
lost their grip in Ohio.-Chicago Times,
Ind.
Mr.. Chandler was rejected for Solicitor
General by the Senate less than a year ago.
No bones were made about declaring. in
plain English the reasons why he was re-
garded as unfit to hold so responsible an
office. Mr.. Chandeliers record as a lobby
lawyer and a promoter OF private jobs and
schemes to the Departments was what stood
in the way of his confirmation. Perhaps he
is no longer a wicked, schemiDg Chandler.
Perhaps he has experienced a change of heart
since last year Perhaps General Arthur has
exclusive intelligence of Mr.. Chambers re-
formation.-New York Sun.
No political change in South Carolina that
is not based on reason and conscience, as
well as public interest, is worth having, or
could be of any benefit to the State. We
admit that there are signs of political disin-
tegration, and that it was probable that two
Years hence there would have been hard
struggle between the Democrats and the al
lied Republicans and Independents. There
is no such prospect now. The partisan pros
ecutions have done their work, and have
solidified the Democracy. In week the
softening and healing effects of the four
years of President Hayes and the few peace
full years that President Garfield lived have
been dissipated, and are as If they had never
existed.-Charleston News DEM.
To South Carolina Republicanism is an
other name for Acknowledgement and mill
tary rule in 1867; for negro rule in 1868; for
the robberies, the insults, the lawlessness,
the house-burningss and the eight years of
Radical supremacy : for Scott and Moses in
the Executive chair; foS Whipper on the
Bench for Mackey. Cordozo, Smalls and the
whole tribe of spoilers who, in the name OF
Republicanism, committed crimes which
would bring a blush to the bronze cheek OF
the colossal statue of Liberty which crowns
the dome of the Capitol. This is what Re-
publicanism means, and stands for to the
white people of South Carolina. To become
Republican is to clothe oneself with the
memory of such things es these.--Charleston
News and Conrier.
