MARTYRS TO UsURPArIoN.

The Winston Republican, referring to
the mol pros of the Democratic registrars
says "the defendants now stand under
the lash of the court with nothing to
shield and protect them save the mercy
and leniency of the court officials" In
stead of occupying any such position the
Jockey case decided, we believe in Feb
ruary), virtually declares the Radical
prosecution was unconstitutional and the
proceedings therefore unwarranted. 1t is
the court officials, therefore, if anybody,
who need something to shield and protect
them for an unlawful and Unconstitutional
persecution Of good men.
The registrars are not only technically
free, but fully exonerated and shown to
have been martyrs to Radical usurpation
of power.

M'LAURIN's SPEECH.

The Charleston News and Courier and
the Columbia State, the two leading
dailies printed in South Carolina, agree
that Senator McLaurin's speech was a
tame affair. The News and Courier says
it was too personal, too egotistical, and
did not rise to the occasion. 1t adds:
"Mr. McLaurin insists that he is a
Democrat, but prefers to vote for Repub-
lican policies Has he any such right?
AS a South Carolinian, of course, he has
a right to vote for either party, but
as Democrat certainly he should not
vote for Republican policies. But he has
voted and still proposes to vote for Re-
publican measures, and, therefore, des-
pite his protest it appears to us that he
has forfeited his right to vote or to be
a candidate in a Democratic primary To
what party do the people of South Caro-
lima belong? This question admits of but
one answer. By SO large a majority as to
leave the minority too small to be worth
considering, our people are Democrats,
and their State primaries are known as
Democratic primaries and no Republican
has right to a vote in a State pri-
mary"
The State heads it editorial, There
is Nothing in IT, 1t takes up the most
pretentious statements seriatim, answers
them fully, and then says:
Think of the benighted condition of the
people of South Carolina without John l..
McLaurin to place them in touch with the
best thought of the age and ENABLE them
to act intelligentlyi' Where would we be
now but for this? Cropping, merely cropping,
in Cimmerian darkness-satisfied, like the
fish in the lake of the Mammoth cave, to
move without eyes in the Plutonian
shadow! Who can wQnder that our junior
Senator, political neonhyte though he be,
feels compelled to come here and give us
primary lessons in politics when he sees
that we are so very ignorant and content
in our ignorance! God said, Let there be
highland lot John Lowndes McLaurin
prepares with a bit of smouldering punk
to illumine the mind of South Cardinal!
1t is only few months when McI4aurin
will take his place in history with Ma
hone and other Southern men who thought
they could buy the South to Republican,
ism with a mess of pottage.
