THE Vashington Sunday Chroni ,
cle contains the following editorial
reference to the action of Cameron,
week beforeitast, in preventing the
SP nate from showing its% respect for
the memory of Horace Greeley:
• Simon Cameron stood in awe of
Horace: Greely while he lived, and
cringed to the Tribune., as he does to
all sourst. of power, but, Mr. Greeley
dctid, Cameron dons the lion's skin,
and tt-Isays to kick. When Mr. Lin
coln threw Cameron from his Cabin
et on account of his speculations in
contracts, the Tribune was rather
free in its opinions of the' justice of
the act. Cameron never forgave
Greeley for this, but he never dared
strike until under the shadow of a
populaW victory of the Republican
tart•. The death of - his enemy
made him feel secure froth harm.
rr is rumored that fierce opposi
tion will be made to the work of the
Constitutional Conk - ention if they in
troduce any radical reforms into 'the
new instrument. There is no doubt
whatever but that the corrupt scoun
drels, who have for years been Using
our legislatures as instruments for
oppressing the people and robbing
them of their money, thereby filing
their own pockets with dishonest
gains, will fiercely oppose any reform
measures that may be likely to put
an cud to their corrupt practices; but
our delegates should not be deterred
from doing their whole duty in this
matter, for this is the very work that
the hottest people of the State elected
them to do. Let us have a radical
refortn in both our Constitution and
our LegislaturK—Bedford Inquirer
TH E question of raising the Presi
dent's salary is now the subject of
considerable discussion among the
newspapers„ The arguments pro
and con on an Increase appear getter
aly to be as follows: —For 1. The pres
ent salary is Insufficient. 2. It was
fixed when the expenses of the office
were comparatively small. 3. The
purchasing power of money has de
creased. -I. Fifty thousand dollars
p& annum- would be despised by
money-seekers. 5. The people don't
want the President to live in "sitn
pie republican style." G. It is a tri
vial matter altogether. Against the
increase it is represented 1. The office
Is one of honor and dignity, not of
etnoltunent. 2. The present salary
with incidentals is equal to one of
:k.tiyina per annum. 3. The country
is in debt. 4. Greedy politicians
would deem $.50,000 a year and the
incidentals worth looking after. 5.
The Executive ought to give an ex- -
nipple of economy, simplicity and
retrenchment. 6. Tha proposed in
crease would form a dangerous pre

- Shortly after Collect-of' Dever en
tered upon the duties of his office he
eenatnenced the practice of using
moneys arising from internal reve
nue collections,' which practice he
continued up to the time I arrived
there. His fieputles, with the ex
ception of his senior deputy, Augus
tus Flush, whom 1 consider an bon
efficient and reliable oflitT, are
inoopeteift and unscrupulous. Col
lector Dever borrowed revenue mon
ey from Deputy Collector W. T.
Newman, who made collections in
the , eitY of Atlanta, k and used thi
s:fine for prjvate purigtes. I found
that Mr. Newman had not rendered
any reports on form I(r2 since July
20, 1g72, there being, as I ascertained
upon careful examination, a Cash bil
ance against him of some $6,4)00, a
large portion of - which had been used
by the collector. This deputy used
several hundred dollars of his col
lections to pay some of his individu
al obligations, having obtained, as he
said, the collector's consent thereto.
I found that Deputies A.- M. Frank=
lin and W. H. Morgan had retained
a large part of their collections since
July 31, 1872, and that they and the
collector have been using the same."
THE extent of the leaks in the pub
lic treasury, arising from official dl3- -
honesty, has become a matter of such
concern, that Secretary poutwell pro
poses a law to prevent a certain class
of official stealing. He viould_make
it a penal offence for all diibursing
officers and all clerks and agents to
convert to their own use, or lend,
with or without interest, the public
moneys, and also for bankers and bro
kers to receive loans or public mon
ies from such persons. The act of
1866, of which this is an amendment,
does not meet the case of all officers,
but only special-grades. While the
law ought to be made general and
stringent, we agree with the New
York 'Journal of Commerce, that how
ever strong Mr. Boutwell may make
the law, it will not be of much use if
defaulters and embezzlers are to be
treated with mistaken leniency in
the past. Whilst the governau
has persisted in enforcing penalties
on political prisoners, as in most of
the so-called Ku-Klux cases, with an
unrelenting hand, it has either not
prosecuted with rigor and prompti
tude official thieves who plunder the
treasury of the hard earned cdntribu
tions of the people, or pardoned them
from prison soon after they were Sent
there. The proposed amendment to
the law of 1866 will not' be effectual
unless there can be less of 'misplaced
clemency to the culprits and more of
justice to the people, and unless pub
lic sentiment affixes the same stigma
to public as individual robbery. The
official who is guilty of the last, is as
much worse than an ordinary thief as
a bank officer who robs the institu
tion of which he is an agent is than
a professional burglar. In both cases
the betrayal of confidence is added to
the crime of stealing.—Lancaster Er

THE /?adico/,_has spoken on civil
service reform as. administered by
President Grant. Here is the way
that paper talks of it:
"The Washington correspondent of
the Pittsburgh Commercial states
that the President has agreed with
United States Judge McKennan, of
Washington county, and Hon. Wil
liam S. Moore, Member of Congress,
of Washington county, to appoint
Gen. John Hall, of Washington coun
ty, United States Marshal or' the
Western District of Pennsylvania,
vice Hon. Alexander Murdoch, of
Washington county, who having
held the office ten years is tired of it,
and proposes to resign. Boynton
says this is a CiviLSery ice Reform
appointment.
The Deputyship is the lowest ap
pointment in the Marshal's office,
and if our friend Hall should decline,
(which God forbid!) we know of no
good reason why Gen. Mall's wash
erwoman if she can read - and write
and hand a defendant a writ, should
not succeed in the vacancy. She is
certainly in the direct line of promo
tion. This Civil Service Reform;
which is good enough in itself, will
soon be made ridiculous at the rate it
is traveling. It is nuts for the en
rolled boot-blacks of the administra
tion, but not quite so health'? for the
_ragged chaps who, with box and
brush on shoulder, are blowing their
finders in the wintry winds.
The thmmercial announced some
days •ago that these gentlemen were
being hauled to Washington in' a
special ear at the instanceof the Pres
ident, to locate for a day or two in a
comfortable corner of the Presiden
tial kitchen, and we presume this is
the net result of their visit. ,
Gen. Hall will he a clever and ac
commodating officer, and will draw
his salary and execute the priatvawArke

the political bummers of the coun

—A novel turkey hunt has been
devised in Pittsfield, Mass. A tur
key is tied to a stake, the hunters ar- ,
rangedin a circle around and at some
distance from the stake, blindfolded
and bidden to "go." Thelellow who
gets the turkey has him. The amount
of tumbling, bumping against each
other and sprawling upon the ground
done by the hunters before one of
their number captures the turkey,
affords no end of amusement to the
spectators. It is just the thing for
Christmas sport.
—Somebody writing in The London
Globe talks—the miserable wretch!—
about the "unpopularity of women.'
He declares that there are more bach

men have lost the charms of patience,
modesty. unselfishness, and tender
ness, and that consequently "old
maids" are swarming everywhere
and making the earth a hard and
dreary desert. Has this cynic's wife
been lecturing about him? Or Is he
the victim of a breach of promise case?
Nothing less can excuse such slander.
Seriously,, there is of late too much
heedless and indiscriminate condem
nation of the "soft sex." Women are
just what they always have been in
nature, and to call- them unpopular,
or selfish or assertive, as o class, is
ridiculous drivel.

There was but one seaiin the car that

his fair companion had removed her
veil, he was surprised to recognize in
her his wife, whom he had not seen
for more than twelve years. The
lady threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him tenderly.and mutual
expiated ions followed. It seems that
they had been married just before the
breaking out of the war, at the home
of the lady in Missouri. Her father
was the owner of large tracts of land,
but had only a little money. He
joined the rebel "'use, and thedaugh
ter also warmly tethered to the opin
ions of her father. Her husband,
however, was a decided Union man.
She abused him violently on account
of his principles; and told him that If
he sided with the "bloody Yanks,"
ha might leave the place, and she
never wished to see his face again.
He took her at her word, and the
same night left her and joined Fre
mont's army as a private. He was ,
several times taken-prisoner, and as
-often escaped to our lines. He pres
sed on with Sherman toward the sea,
add-at the conclusion of his term of
enlistment joined a Now York regi
ment, and by this means, at the end
of the war. found his way to Newark,
where he has since worked quietly in

His igkfe's father was killed at
Vicksburg,and she was left sole pos
sessor of his uncultivated farms.
She supported herself by working in
a millinery establishmentin St. Louis
till after the close of the war. Her
land rose in value, and she sold it for
a good price r and realized about five
thousand dollars. With this sum she
started a millinery of her own in St.
Louis, and succeeded splendidly.
She is reputed- worth $40,000 or 00,-
000. She was on her way to New
York to buy goods when she met the
man whom site had supposed long
ago dead. Remorseful for driving
him away, she had refused all offers
of marriage. The joyous meeting
caused the husband to forgive his
wife's error, and a present of a r.ew
suit of clothes, a diamond ring and a
splendid gold watch, when they ar
rived in New York, served materi
ally to increase his respect and af
fection for his long lost wife. They
are now joyous over the accident
that reunited them.
Neaten !Marriage Laws.
Those who have witnessed the per
formance of "Man and Wife" at one
of our city theatres, says the Phila
delphia "Record" of Saturday, du
ring the last few weeks, and .those
who have read the novel of Wilkie
Collins. on which the play is fotin
ded, will remember that the plot,
both of the romance and the drama,
turns upon thu curious Scotch law
making the simple mutual fIVQWIIi of
a marriage before witnesses , t .valid,
without a more formal legal ceremo
ny. Now, an action has just been
brought at Edenburgh by Mrs. Mar
garet Steuart, or Robertson, against
Sir Archibald Douglas Steuart, with
the view of having the plaintiff's son,
alleged to be the child of the late
Major Steuart, declared heir to the
Murthly estates. Since the action
was first raised the hoy has died. W-
Mll3. RAfbri uson perseveres with it to
secure "the widow's share' of the
property. The plaintiff's brother de
clared that Major•Steuart had when
in poor circumstances , lived with the
plaintiff's father, and one night de
clared, with tears in his eye-1, um
poor now, itrjd ,Lotitri station, but I
*tit "marry Maggie in Scotch fash
ion." The Major then went down
on one knee, drew a ring from his
waistcoat pocket, and placed it on
one of Margaret's fingers, saying,
"Maggie, you are my wife heforiSizi
heaven—so help me God." The sis
ter of the witness said, "Oh Major,"
put her arms around his neck, and the
two kissed each other. They lived
afterwards as man and wife, but the
marriage was kept secret. The case
had not been concluded at latest ad
vices, but is interesting as showing
how the curious dramatic situations
set forth on the stage and in the nov
els, regarding these laws, may be
founded on facts of familiar occur
rence.
THE infamous libel law in this
State by which shystering lawyers
and others who never could com
ma lid a legitimate business at theßar,
are enabled to make a living, is at
tracting attention abroad. The N.
Y, Sun of a recent date thus refers to
the subject:
THE LAW OF LIBEL IS PENI',.;BYLVA
ELM
Probably most persons suppose
that the maxim "the greater the
truth the grthter the libel," which
once brought so much reproach, con
tempt, and ridicule upon the com
mon law, has no application in
modern jurisprudence. ['he suppo
sition, however, is incorrect. In the
State of Pennsylvania a man may be
thrown into the penitentiary simply
because he has publicly proclaimed
the truth concerning a, fellow citi
zen.
In nearly all the other States, the
truth, if published with good motives
and for justifiable ends, is. when es
tablished, a complete defense to an
action for libel. The 'Constitutions
of eighteen of the States contain ex
press provisionno that effect, and in
most of the others the same end is
attained by statutory enactments.
But in Pennsylvania, the truth of an
allegeAl libel affords no ground of de
fense in a criminal prosecution for Its
publication, except where it refers
to the official conduct of officers or
men in public capacityY
A convention for the revision of the
Constitution of that State is now In
.ession at Philadelphia. Among-the
propositions before It is one to amend
that portion of the organic law which
relates to prosecution for libel so as to
make the truth a defense In all cases.
The section relating to the subject In
the Constitution of the State of New
York is as good a form as can be
adopted: "in all criminal prosecu
tions or indictments' for libels, the
truth may be given in evidence to the
jury; and if it shall appear to the jury
that the matter Fharged as libelous
is true, and was published with good
.motives and for justifiable ends, the
party shall be actinitted."
Of the one hundred and fifty-three
members of the Constitutional Con
vention at Philadelphia nearly one
hundred are lawyers. They know
that the law of libel as it exists in
Pennsylvania to-day is a dlbgruce
to the legislation of the State. Let
them change it seas to conform to the
dictates of common justice. There
can be no such thing as freedom of
the press, in the highest and true
erase, where its conductors are con
tinually menaced by the ever-present
shadow of penal servitude as a re
ward for truth.

probably be made. The majority of
the trustees, who desired to continue
the paper on the basis of Mr. Gree
ley's card, with Mr. Reid at its head,
needed only eighteen shares of stock
to secure a clear majority. Mr. Reid
offered to buy these at ten thousand
dollars a share each, or a considerable
larger price, but Mr. Sinclair had se
cured enough of them to prevent him
from making up the number. Mes
sere. Reid and Hay also offered Mr.
Sinclair $320,000 for his own shares,
and the twelve of the Clarke estate,
whighlie controlled, and all the other
trustees insisted that Mr. Sinclair
was bound under the bylaws of the
association to sell to them before sell
ing at the same price to an outside
party.--Sinclair, however, claimed
to be under obligations to others
which he could not discharge, except
by completing the transaction of fif
ty one shares with Mr. Orton. It is
reported that ex-Governor E. D.
Morgan, ex-Surveyor A. B. Cornell,
and others of that wing of the Re
publican party are to unite with Or
ton in carrying the stock. In the
final sale Mr. Sinclair retained three
of his shares, and it is understood de
sires to continue as publisher. These
siding with Messrs. Reid and Hay
were Gee. Ripley, Thomas N. Rook
er, . Phillip Fitzpatrick. Patrick
0' Rourke,Oliver Johnson ,C. A. Run
kle and John I. Cleveland, Mr. Gree
ley's brother-in-law, who represented
his own and that of the Greeley es
tate.
-I•44.rEn—New York,December 22.
- Wm. Orton, after considerable nego
tiation, has resold to Whitelaw Reid
fifty shares out of the hundred con
stituting the capital stock of the Tri
bune Association, for a large advance
on the price at which he last week
purchased. He retains one share
arid it is further. agreed he shall bO
elected one of the Trustees of the As
sociation, thus Pecurlng it the benefit
of his wide influence and recognized
business hbility.
The Tribune, in an editorial an
nouncing the proprietorship, has the
following:
"We purpose continuing our old
battle against injustice and ignorance
under the same Republican banner
which Horace Greeley upheld so
stoutly and so long. and on the same
policy ofcandid independence, which
was one of ills latest - acts to reaffirm
over his own signature iu these 'eel-
UMW.
Naturally, we shall prefer to sup
port as far as possible an• administra
tion which professes the party name.
Such nn administration will receive
from us a frank and candid approval
of every action performed in accord
ance with its principles; but the Tri
bune Is nobody's official advocate.
Our party sympathies are not strong
enough to overcome our independ
ance or muzzle our honest utter
ance." • '
civir Service Selbem.
In reply to Thurlow Weed'a tirade
against civil service refortn, the New
York- Herald reviews the pollo of
the administrationsdown te • -
of 9CW/111mi - felding places requir
ing special accomplishments and ex
perience were retained from one ad
ministration to another till they (lied
or failed in the harness. Under
Washington's 'ad tillnistmtion—eight
years-there were nine removals from
office, and one of these was a defaul
ter. Under John Adams—four years
—there were ten removals end one
was a defaulter. Under Jefferson—
eight yeani, new party in power—
there were thirty-nine removals.
Under 41adison—eight "years—there
were five .removals, three of them
defaulters. Under Monroe—eight
years—there were nine removals, six
for cause. Under John. Quincy Ad
ams—four years---there were two re
movals, both for cause. Ann this
administration of the younger Ad
ams, from the record, is now univer
sally recognized as, in every respect,
one of the very best in the whole his
tory of the general government.
"Rotation in office," nevertheless,
is one of the strong points of "T. W"
against the present administrative
policy of civil service reform. The
proclamation of this doctrine by Gen
eral Jackson was the - opening of
Pandora's box upon the country, the
ending of the old regime of honesty
and capability and the beginning of
a new epoch—this sttll unexpired
epoch of spoils, plunder and corrupt
tion, which General Grant has un
dertaken to bring to a 7 close. Genet-
Jaakson opened his administration
by clearing out the °We holders of
the administration displaced, to the
cry of "Rotation in. office!" Marcy
subsequently proclaimed it in plain
er English that "To the victors be
longs the spoils:" and the demorali
zing example thus introduced has,
from that day to „this, been fruitful,
only of corruptions, spollations and
public scandals and crimes of every
description.
Back to this dark fountain we may
trace the whole poisonous stream of
our party politics as it lies before us.
The frightful scramble for the spoils,
,rotation in office,' inaugurated by
Jackson, has with the incoming of
every new President since that dis
astrous beginning. been:a disgrace to
the country. It cast out Van Buren.
it killed Harrison and Taylor, it de
moralized Tyler and Johnson, and
disgusted even Buchanan; but It has
made slaves of them all, more or less,
to their party mendicants, not ex
cepting General Grant.
About Banks.
"Which was the first bank estab
lished in the United' States?" The
first hank in the United States was
the Bank of North America,chartered
by Congress, at the instance of Rob
ert Morris, in 1772, and by the State
of Pennsylvania, in 1772. with a capt
tat of $400,000. It is still in existence,
and has a capital of more than a mil
lion. The first bank? of the United
States was incorporated in ran. but
did not go into operation until 179-1.
It was the suggestion of Hamilton,
the Secretary of the Tteasury. Its
capital was $10,000,000. At that time,
the whole banking capital of the Uni
ted States was only $2,000,000, inves
ted in the Bank of North America.
The Bank of New York was founded
in 1784, and the .Bank of Massachu
setts, in Boston, thekame year. The
charter of the United States Bank
was limited to twenty years. Its
headquarters were fixed in the city
of Philadelphia, and it was to be gov
erned by twenty directors. A new
one was chartered in 4816, for the
same term, with a capital of $35,000,-
000. In it the Government funds
were kept on deposit. An act of Con
gress, in 1832, re-chartering it, was
vetoed by President Jackson. He
also caused the U. EL funds to be
withdrawn from it In 1883. This act
produced a violent partisan feeling,
throughout the union, atm strong
movements were made to Impeach
the President. The present Nation
al lianksystem of the United State,
was organized on February 25th,
1863. to give uniformity to the paper
currency, and the banking laws of
the country. The old banks, author..
ized by the several States,were induc
ed .by certain privileges, or forced by
special taxes; to surrender their State
eberters, and adopt the national plait,
and accept charters as national banks
from the United States Government.
A subsequent act was adopted and
approved; on June 3, 1864, and un
der it the national banks are now
conducted. By the terms of this
law, the circulation of the national
banks is limited to $300,000,000,
which is secured by the deposit with
the United States Treasurer, of the
bonds of the Government to an
equal amount.
A Corrupt Senate,
It is argued with much force,, that
the corruption which exists at many
of the Senatorial elections is the nat
ural result of the reflected Jobbery of
the Senate Itself. The Philadelphia
Press, whose editor has so long bees
familiar with the workings of the U.
S. Senate, says :
Of aft the men who hold seats in
that body, the election of not more
than one-third was unattended by
bribery and bargaining. Of these
men, again, how many have a repu
tation for other than pplitical in
triguryi' Hoft , many are statesmen
in the higher meaning of the term,
or fill the ideal the fathers must have
had In their mind's eye when they
created the chamber as a balance to
the popular representative ,hninch of
the legislative body. We know most
of them as shrewd party leaders la
the sense ot their capacity for con trot
ing caucuses and nominating conven
tions. The office is now the aim of
the lowest political ambitions, and
an incentive to thepractice of the
worst means in gratifying them. By
a system that has come into general
recognition, the Senators, when in ac
cord with the current Administra
tion, are awarded the entire, istribu
tion of the public offices and patron
age in those Congress districts of
their States represented by the oppo
sition, together with a share In the
other Qtunder of the same descrip
tion that pertains thereto.
The Hartford (burant has these
caustic remarks ou the same sub
ject:
Wild-cat States in the West have
been created for the seeming purpose
of giving ambitious politicians seats
in the Senate. They have been en
dued with the sovereignty of States
when their entire population is not
that of any one of hundreds of East
ern counties. The disorganized con
dition of the South has given occa
sion for mediocre and scheming men
to slip into the Senate, and crafty
loliticians, lifted up by railroad and
and jobs and all sorts of rings, have
been able to control Legislatures in
other States'until the United States
Senatehas become what it is ;to-day.
The deterioration is as marked as it
Is alarming. So frequent has become
the charge that the election of Sena
tors has been procured by corrupt
means that it has almost ceased to
attract special comment. And it
does not happen alone in the new or
the Southern States. We hear of
large sums of money spent at Al
bany, Harrisburg. and of her cani tals,
in connection with Senatorial elect
ions. It is common to hear the re
mark that such a man has not mon
ey to be Senator, or that onother's
chances ate good because he is rich.
Secretary Robeson's order to
the Annapolis cadets about their
treatment of their colored comrade.
Conyers, has the true ring about it.
He tells them in unmistakable lang
uage, that thoagh the government
will force no social equality on any
body, they must treat this cadet with
decency; that Conyers Was legally
appointed, and represent* people
who pay their tuxes for the support
eiSti, i 7jilttaTilaiL 9 fiet i niti m kt
any of them ; and that the govern
ment will see to it that h i protect
ed fmm , r .,-juu ice and tyranny,
filsosee that any maltreat
ment of him at their hands will be
punished. Mr. Robeson reminds
the cadets of what they are apt to for
get, viz: they are the nation's debtors
and not Its creditors, in consenting
to accept a government education,
and that when in the navy they will
be its servants and not its masters.
Altogether his letter or order is con
ceived in the right spirit and will do
14°0(1—Pittsburgh Leader
CUMULATIVE VOTINz.
The result of the cumulative sys
tem of voting has been emit.ently
satisfactory in Illinois,—each party
havingin the Legislature the precise,
number of representatives to which
they were entitled by the number of
votes cast. In round numbers thti
strength of the parties was in the pro
portion of ..a O- 0,000 to 210,000. The
whole number of Senators is 51. and
of Representatives 153. Of the Sena
tors chosen in the old style the Re
publicans have 33 and the Liberals IS,
when, had they been chalet] under
the system of giving the minority
their proportionate number, the Re
publicans would have had 28 and the
Liberals 23. In the election of Rep
rei-entati ve t the Republicans carried
districts and under the ordinary sys
tem would have elected 99 Represen
tatives, leaving to the Liberals 18
Senators and 54 Representatives. The
actual result is 81 Republicans and 68
Liberal Representatives. The result
is precisely a fair representation of
the two partiera according to their pro
portionate votes. The primary object
of the Constitutional provision has
been attained, ,with almost mathe
matical accuracy. Another very im
portant result was also reached. 04-
jectiona ble candidates were very
generally defeated by the parties eon
centrating, their votes on a rival can
didate. Several instances are given
where objectionable parties are beat
en, though the party nominating
them was, numerically, in the ma
jority. The success of the system in
Illinois strongly recommends it to
our Convention as worthy of exam
ination.—Pilfsburgh Gazelle.
South Carolina's Senator
South Carolina has presented a
most disgraceful spectacle to the
world. She has recently elected to
the United States senate John J. Pat
terson, a carpet bagger from Juniata
county in this State, Patterson is a
notorious fellow. He is known at
Harrisburg as one whom Simon
Cameron kept constantly employed
while there, in doing his dirtiest
work. Trained at the feet of the old
Winnebago chief, he saw in South
Carolina, at the close - of the war, a
splended field for the exercise of his
peculiar talents, Utterly unscrupu
lous, he settled in that State and be
gan to operate upon the legislature,
composed of men who could be
bought to vote for anythittf at five
dollars per head. The majority were
negroes who had been accustomed all
their lives to work for their food and
clothing, and to them it seemed a
wonderful thing to obtain five dollars
for simply saying yes or no.
A charter was obtained for a rail
road; the credit of the State was loan
ed for its construction{ bonds were
issued In order to raise money; Pat
terson got the bonds, negotiated
sale of them, but the road was not
built, and the State never got the
money realized from the sale of the
bonds. Patterson suddenly became
rich. A few weeks ago it was an
nounced that he would be a candi
date for the senatorship, but people
in Pennsylvania scarcely dreamed
it possible that his election could be
teecomplishild. They did not know
the stuff of which either Patterson or
the legislature was made. Open,
shameless bribery was resorted to,
and Patterson was declared elected
on the first ballot by a large major'.
ty. The same day artmavits were
'made charging him with bribery,
and the Orst accounts were that - im
'was lodged In jail. Whether he will
be tried for offenses or not is very
questionable. The United States sen
ate will probably admit him, all
stained with this horrible corruption,
to thereat once occupied by Calhoun,
Rhett, Rayne and other of the ablest
statesmen of South Carolina, No
better commentary could be written
upon the degraded bend Mon.& South
Carolina under the reconstruction
pdlicy of the republican party than
the telegram winch announces the
election of this disreputable individ
ual in this disgraceful way.
Every man who knows John J.
Patterson will blush every time.he is
mentioned its the senator from South
Carolina.— Valley Spirit. •
