Ono point to which Judge Mlackey
draws atton tioll in his admir ablh
responso to Chamiberlain's prola
mation, is very sigiuificant. A mn
jority of the Stato canvassers sit
upon thoir own election; whilo th<
majority of the county eletior
managers are appointeeR of the
Governor or candidates for .Iadica
n1oinIIIations. The history of Lou
isianal is to be repeOated ini South
C.arolina. Failing in everythlingi
else, the ennvI~assers, .ithey dar'e
wvill thriow~ oult then votes of 1)ena
craltic countiesF. A pleasinig fael
however, is that the Legislature is~
the judge of its own meml~bers, a thc
D~emocratie majority that will 51m-ely
bo0 elected will see' that they retajin
their seats. The coniseq uon(es ol
the frauds of the Louisiana return

An Intimidator Punished.
At the recen~it term of thle c'ir'enij
court for York, the first ease of in
timidtation; of vote,(rs en"or brought
ii a State (cour11, wats heard anud de

Th'moecase was fully heard by a jury
~ompl~osed of six wyhite aumd si cuh
orecd, and the defendant was repre
sented by W. 13. Williams, ont' of
the nomineos on thei County Demo

found a ver'dio.of gUi/t/, anid the
Mackey to three nmnths' impr)Iisonl
ment in the c'ounlty jail--the lowest
sentence p~rescrIibedl by law.
This case p)ossesses speAcial im-)
p)ortance, in view of the frequent
outrages comnmitted upon colored
Deocrats. it will t ':ch the intimi
dators a lesson, b y . owing themu
that the courts of al th Carolina
ar'e intnded for tI. pr'1otection of
blacks and whiten anim' Now that
at precedent is estatL K ed, the ut
most vigor should be ':xorc sed ini
atlprehending those lR -d'ica who
molest colored D~emocra ts and in
having the guilty parties pr'op~erly
p~unished. The colored Democerauts
should1( be assured of full and con

made to them should beput iln praec

Troops in Fairfld.
We have alreadly stated that one0
Company of United States artillery
arrived at WVinnsboro) on the 4th in
stant, and wvent into camp. 'We
have soon it stated that th'ree comn
panies more will soon arrive, and
form a part of the garrison at this
place. The stationing of siuch a
body of troona heraen~ woul semt
indicate the oxistenceof disgrders
which threaten the public peace, and
which the civil authority is powerless
to quell. No such state of things
exists. Everywhere over the dqunty
the profoundest poace prevails.
Though the political canvass con
tinucs to bo active and lively, and
though there are frequent "divisions
of time" at public meetings, yet we
have yet to learn of a single outbreak
of any sort, or any attempt whatever
at the intinmida:tion of colored voters.
Indeed the only instances of proscrip
tion or abuso that have come within
our knowledge have been of threats
against color:ed men for declaring
themselves Democrats. This species
of in'timidation is of course
n-t the cauiso of the sending
troops : it is is only when a
Radical cries intimidation that tie
national authofity is interposed. 'We

The Radical Nominations.
We publish clsewliore the nomina

less for us to give any account of the
cireonst:mces attending the making
of these nominations. It is enough
tL siay that there was such universal
disgust over the first tiekot, that it
wa.s found necessary to bagin de

ly. But where is the improvement?
The tieket as a whole is no partic'e
better. And it is without doubt the
worst one ever yet put out in Fair

giving such aiuthlority exists it has

,The law, prior to June 10,. 1872,
allowed supervisors and deputy
marshi:dl to be aplnntmd fr. w
imprinocipe aid menidadou deia
gogue. For all time to come his
name should among South Carolini
ans-be- remembered as that of one
who' degraded the gubernatorial
chair, and violated every principle of
horior, to seeure his own selfish ends.
As to the course to be pursued by
having above 20,000 inhabitants
Only. On that dato an act was
patssed allowing supervisors to be
appointed' without this restriction
(17X1nited States Statutos, 384,) but
enacted, sAr 1ithat nothing in this
section shall be so construed as to
autlorizo tbe appointmient of any
marsials or deputy marshals in
addition to those horotoforo author
ized by law." -.ag. The authority
in this respect is found in 16 United
States Statutes, 436.
The laws on this subject are com
piled in the United Statos Rovised
Statutes in 1875, and are to the
smue effect. Seo page 357, section
2,0!1, and page 358, section 2,030,
the latter of which reads as follows :
"Nothing in thi title shall be con
strued to aut horize the aippointmllont
of an'y mlarsials or deputy marshals
in addition to those authorized by
lawiprior to 10th of June, 1872."
Taft's partisan order virtually
admits this to be the law ; but he
tale.the attention of marshals to
actsprior to Juiie 10, 1872, under
wlehih they can appoint doputies.
In other words, he tells marshals
that'they may pretenl to appoint
'for ono purposo and employ for
anothor pirpose I A nice legal
proposition for the Attorney Goner
al of a great nation !
It must, however, be borne in
min(d that law must be found not.
only fur tie power of appointment,
but likewiso for tie power of en.
ployinent. Now deputies appointed
inder any United States statutos are
of two classes-"g/eneral depities'
and "speial depuities." The first
are the ordinary and usual deputies
in regular appoimtiment and eimploy
ment b)y tie marshal. I suppose
there are aboutfour such ill South
Carolina now. These havo tie same
powers as to the laws of the United
Statewu as deputy shor'iffs have to
State laws (seo 788 United States
Revised Statutes.) "Special lepul,
tLis" are those appoimted under
iy special act, for instance that of
February 28, 1871. Taft himseli
points'out this distinction, and it it
taken Ill words in section 2,022, re
ferred to by hil.
Tle special deputies under the
Act of February, 1871, are essential
ly 8JM'el/ dEputies. They can only
bi appoim ted, On applictatiol
of "two citizons :" only for
a "t-jwn of over 209000 inhabitants.'
and the dltilies mu1ist be "qui.(anelsA

them. JAuuIs H. ION.
Judge Mackey has1 likewise taken
occasion to express from thle bench
hlis views of the famous or'der. A
epr'respondent of Ltho News and
Courier, speaking of the recent term
of the 'cicit court for York, says:
"In his chal'ge to the grand jury
Judge Miackey characiiterizedl
tha t partl' of Attor'ney=Gener'al Taft's
or'der which instructs the United
States mar'shals 'do disregard thle
a~uthlority of State oflicorH and to
make arrests onl moree susp~icio'n as a
most formidab~le and aundaciouis act
of p)olitical intimidation, and stated
that any oflicor who violates the
('onshtituitionatl 01' legal r'ightsA of a
citizen shall not be exempted from
puishment by pleading the anuthoril
ty of such1 an order1. lHe at the
same ime enjoined upon thme citizens
the (lity of aidinlg the United States
mnarsh~al and his dlepulties to the full1
cst extent iln exeonting the laws of
the United States."
These views of ai able lawyer', and
>f the highlest judicial authority in
biho eire'it, would seom to strengthl
mn the nnpinion alreay hel tna
Taft has, in hbi zeal to help his
ILdical frionds, overstepped the
bounds of the law. Sch being the
case, Mr. Marshal Wallace would do
well to exercise great caution in the
appointment of deputies, and in his
instructions to them.

((brcspmdence Netes and Ikrcdd.]
COLUMnIA, Oct. 9.-The lines in
the campaign are being very closely
drawn. The letter of Gov. Cham
borlain, his proclamation declaring
Aiken and Barnwell insurrectionary,
and the whines of the Radical State
committee, are all steps in the pre
concerted plan of resorting to the
ever-ready gamo of Radicalism-in
timidatti(.n. Tlhec devices have
created here the greatest indigna
tion among the more decent Re
publicans, as well as the entire Dem
ocratic party. The State Demo
cratic Executive Committee have
issued an address denouncing Cham
berlain's proclamation as false in
fact and unwarranted by law; Chief
Justice Moses, Asssociato Justice
Willard, and Ju(dgef; Mackey and
Cooke have denied their knowledge
of any facts warranting Chnmber
lain's extraordinary course, while
Judge Mackey directly charges the
Governor and his party with a doop
laid conspiracy to suppress free bal
lot. The dcign of the Radicals is
evidently to furnish- a pretext for
pouring United States troops into
the State and placing them under
the control of irresponsible and un
scrupillous villains who will make
arrests. But the people aro not in
timidating worth a cent, and the
Democratic p a r t y is merely
strengthened in the State. If the
white peoplO only remain cool, and
refuse to engage in collisions, the
victory is just as sure as ever. Care
has been taken to correct in the
North the falsehoods conveyed by
Chamberlain and his crow, and the
reaction there is favorable.
The only chance of Federal inter
forence is by obtaining affidavits of
intimidation of persons in the Presi
dential and Congressional election.
In tinidiation practised against sup
pI' tors of the State ticket is beyond
the jurisdiction of the Feleral
authiorities.

A Day of Fasting and Prayer.
Tile following circular has been
published by the State Democratic
Executive Committee:
Roonis STATE Dinni. Rx. CoMTEE, '
Cowsuir, S. C., Oct. 4, 1876.
Several communications have been
received by thnis committee from
diffl'erent quartor-s of the State ask

fixed, and that all citizens be invited
to dedicate flhat (lay to fasting,
