Thq )gprp ts wer determined to exprgss their opinion of_ the scandal of the Electond Cominission. Sena tors Bogy, Bayardi Thurman and othkd ,bt avo dole sonmo plain talkin~g, while tIX6 I~aaieals aro0 making a poo},.ccenco. If'soimo pious' Itadiciil, ;Parson Newman, for instance, would only offer up t hong of thanksgiving for the 'divino inspiration vouchsafod to Judgo ;Bradley in refusing to go behiusl the bQard, it would be in ac cordanco with tho eternal fitness of things Ir, WVhceler soated twonty Democrats in tho Louisiaina Legis latu6o that had been counted out in 1874 by the Returning Board. Does. his conscienco prick him when ho accepts'a position emife rred upon him 'by the same iboard through the rejoection of ten thousand votes cast for Mr. 1eydricks ? eI went be. hind the board iii 1874. Yet., know ing the tiue 1. ir.wrdreii; of that board; he thinks it perfectly proper that. Mr. IlIedrieks should be denied tOim lriviff;e in 1877. It, is stated that Guoernor Ilayes, in his annual message to tho Ohio Legislatu e In. 1872, recommended that all elecion boards should con tai nie ber's of the different partics, in order that the popular will might not be subverted by a partisan board. Does his conscience troublo him in acceptiig an oflico given him by an illegally composed board which threw out ton thousand votes cast fc his opponent 7 The average Radical leader cares little for throats of violence. He locks himself securely within doors, skulks behind a regiment of Federal troops, and laughs at the outraged taxpayers. But a Radical must eat; and he .dearly loves tho crisp green backs or the shining silver dollars. Withhold thesq from him, and politi cal power is a matter of no conme quenco. : He would much prefor to Aee away on the wings of the morn ing and be at rest. It is stated, upon what is said to be the very highest oflicial authori-' ty, that 1fresidenmt Grant has deter mined to prosecute "Don Piatt," ' editor of the Wa4shington) Capitol for libel, and for seditious writing indctable under both common and statute law. District Attorney Wells ~.as been directed to take the necessary steps. Don has always been v'ery sovere in his comments upon draint, aind his fine sarcasm has donbtless stung the Presidential scusibilities. It will be0 a lively fight, if te matter get into the courts'. And Don will doubtless Win. President Grant thinks that Mr. Chambelain mu~lst collect his taxes or abdicito. That the former will b)e impossible-must be fully understood by Mr Ch aberlasin. As the retir,. ing President hasm long bo'on Mr. Chamberlain's best friend, his advico should be heeded. .Let the ex-Gdvern-. or issuo an addrers to the peoplo of South Carolina, bidding the~m fare well, and ann ounvcing his ote rmina tion of r.eturing to Massachuscit s on thle 4th of March ; and, our word for it, he Would regain all his lost popularidy. Iis final levee would be universally attended ;for all the citizens of the ttet wonki assemle to bid him God -speedi.

In a vecent in tervi6Av wit ti9,ori'espondcnt of the Noew1m T.'rib.p,4, he said::: "In South Carolina the .c'ontenst has assyumed e aoh lia6 o thu whole 4sn; pf ;iJ1)jted Sttes would baj4eqduateX wenforce the auth orifofW Go6verri'rr"Coinborlaii The 1)001)10 of that "Stato resolves not to resort to vioienoe, but adopt od a mode of proeelure nic'h iior< formidablo and cfibotivo thaI . m armed demonstration. They hav refused to pay their State taxes to Governor Chamberlain, and it would be useless to Toll out their property, as no on would buy it. "Unless Governor Chamberlain can compOl the collection of taxes, it will be utterly useless for him to oxpoet to maintain hij. author ity for any Jolngth of time. This state of afiairs must inevitably result in the abaudo31Inmeut of Ill efforts by rov ernor Chamberlain to unxintairn him self in the exercisoof the gjuborna toaril functions of the State of South Carolina." The view thus expressed by Pr'es' dent Grant is a strong one, and it must bo the view of every sensible man who looks with an impartial eye oi the coudition of affairs in South Carolina. No government, or ie tended governm ent, can succeed when the groat body of the people refuse either to re'ognize its .ogality or to oir'y its mandates. Stuch is the position of the Chanberlaini governinenlt in this State. Foisted, or a.Ited (ijil t, be fisd (31, upon the pooplo by a I.
