Ehi 1jLua~ and ~tad WINNSBOORO, S. C. Thursday, April 19, :: 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associate Editor. In the completion of the Constitu tional Legislature what will become of Palmer, the "Son of Christ ?" And Silas Cave ? Where, oh I whore will lie be ? Cardoza is as insolent as he is cor rupt. His reply to Governor lHamp ton's demand for the possession of the treasuity is a masterpiece of im.. pertinence. Ho rests his title as treasurer upon the declaration filed by himself, as canvasser, that he was elected, and he throws himself grandly upon the courts. Cardoza should be made to understand his place at once, and to know that he must accept, not dictate, terms. The proper tribunal to investigate his merits is the court of general sessions, and the mo'lo of proceo dure should be by criminal indict mont instead of quo warranto. Hope for Louisiana. It is now confidently reported that the Louisiana Commission has fixed upon a basis of settlement of affairs for that State. The Legislature is to be composed of members declared elected by thoeparishtiretui ns, instead of those seated by the Returning Board. This gives both the Se nato and the House to the Democrats. The Logislaturo will then do 1 Lro the gubernatorial election. Besides being the proper mode of settlement, this has also the advans tage of freeing Haye c from :eibar rassmont. The Legislature of Lou isiana is the judge of the qualifica tions of its members, as is the case in State, and the Rcturni:g Board has no jurisdiction. In answer to the assertion that Hayes and Packard must stand or fall together, it is sufficient for the President to say that there were two sets of judges of elections appointed by the Con stitution of Louisiana entirely inde pendent of each other ; one, the Returning Board, to count tlho elec toral vote, the other, the Legislature, to scrutinize the votes cast for its own members and fur governor. One set of judges has decided in favcr of the Republicans, the other for the Democrats. Two courts of separate jurisdiction will thus have decided, each upon the subject mat ter brought before it. For these decisons, the judges of election, and not the President, are resp~onsible. A considerable tangle can in this way be unraveled, satisfactorily to Hayos and to the Democratic State officials of Louisiana, while the wind will be taken from the sails of B3laino, Beast Butler andl the carpot baggers. Who Shall be Admitted ? The Constitutional House, on as semubling, should carefully scrutini ze the claims of applican ts for adumis a ion, -The seats of the recalcitrant members are in reality vacant, anmd the claimants can retain them only by enf'oranco. In addition to this general cause there aroe special rea nous why certain ones should be excluded. The Radical candidates in Ohoster were declared elected by about two hundred majority, and irregularities and intimidation can be proven sufficIent to turn thme re suilt tlhe othber way. In addition, John Leo, one of those declared elected, was a Federal postmaster at the time of the election, and is there gore ineligible. The Democrats of Nowborr-y and Da'rington have also strong points oni which to unsoatthe entire Radical dologations from those counties. The election in Charleston was a gigantic fraud. In the city the whole police force, the hosts of deputy sheriffs and the trial justicos comlbined to spread a reign of terrorism, Whito and colored Democrats were arrested without the least provoeation, and hundreds of colored then woro intimidatod lbg the strikers of h3owon, Uunningham and Mackey. In the country colored precincts, stacked arms at the polls and voted by platoons. Thousands of frajudulent votes were cast, and the whole election, was vitiated. It is a matter df grave doubt whether the entire election should not bo sent back to the peoplo. We hold that the Domocrats must bo just, and that they should admit into the House all members entitled to seats. But at the same time they should manifest no mawkish sentimentality in extending amnesty to all ofienders. If any applicnnts apper, whose claims are not worthy of recognition, they should be promptly refused a(Imission. The Radicals should be taught tho coat of despising tho ;will of the peoplo and the decisions of the courts. ]~E TISTisY. DR. A. M.
