| a INDUSTRIOUS TmEonY.-Some remarkable
campaign material is being used just now.
We have letter from an INTEL gent man in
the country who says, commenting on Col.
Orr speech here .:3a 2st totRs Is h@1ws better
T 6fpefty sp te against the governor"
Now we have no doubt this man believes
what he says. He does not know all the
facts a"d believes what somebody has told
HIM. The impression he has is natural
result OF the attack made upon the Judge by
the governors mess tgc. 1t is n strong
| illustration of the danger we urc in. The
confidence of the people in their judges is
being destroyed. The next natural stop will
be TO replace the present judiciary with ono
more agreeable to the reigning powers
Our correspondent did not stop to think
how absurdly impossible it is tha, a man
who has lived beyond middle age without
Stain upon his name; who rs sold CIR aud
leader of the people, has riskcd his life in
the States service thousand times; who
from one end of the State 10 the other, and
among lrcudS and foes is known for his
purity, courage, nobility of character and
dignity, should deliberately perjure himself
and drag his Spotlcss ermine in the dirt to
graf fy petty spite" Aside from that, =,
he did not reflect that if Judge Wallace
could TO influenced in his judicial acts by
rally have triad 30 please the governor, who
to the time of the Cantwcll decision was
known TO favor Judge Wallace for elevation
to the supreme court beach
The truth IL we think, that Judge Wallace
decided that case against HE OWN interests
aud knew that he was doing so, if he con-
sidercd that m"ttcr at all; aud that ne was
punished bec'nse he did his duty rs wise,
upright and fearless Judge tirtenEiUc News.
I" onr m!m;!, the only rcuy spitefulncss
that we have discovered in the Cantwell case
was III Ii" TN iiguisicd and spiteful manner
IN which Gcs. Timan singled out Judge
Wallace as II target TO shoot "a, in his Message
to the Legislature. In that Gov. Tilman
rointcdly disclosed his auto cratic dcta toral
nature. which, has been so prominent and
to our mind, so injurious to the best interests
of the state, throughout his administration.
With scarcely single exception, Judge
Wallace = decision in the Cantwell case was
sustained by the, circuit ,Judges-throughout
the State, and the Supreme Court decided
that Cantwcll was entitled to his salary up
to the tim" the Senate acted upor his rsmov-
a, which plainly said he had not been legal
ly removed by the Governor,
The ,aw regulating the appointment and
removal of Supervisors of Registralin is so
worGcd rs 10 prevent the removal and
arpoint"ca; @f those officers just 'cfore an
election, for individual aad partisan purpc-
scs.
The case Of Cautwcll shows the wisdom of
the INV IN that respect. a political faction
III Charleston ciamorcd for his removal from
thc "ihcC OF Supervisor VI Registration, max
ing no charges against him, but that i.c did
not belong To that faction. Tho Governor
wHs called OH TO remove him, which he
interrupted 10 10; and We have no doubt he
thought The law gave him the power to re-
move; but when the law was subjected TO an
impartial aud able legal test, it was found
that it dij not give such authority.
