Tut itar, of Cardozo is already
laying bare a vast amount of vil
lainy in connection with the Radical
regime. That the wh6lo gang were
thieves was long known; and that
several oi*em 'lie like Cretans is
now becoming apparent.
WE n&V omittcd heretofore to
mention that the garrulous Sammy
Green, senator from Beaufort, has
joined the glorious army of resigned
statesmen. They are stepping
down so faqt we cal't keep the
count.
Oxx or THE chief features of the
Fair will be the South Carolina
Club Ball on the evening of the
15th. It will be given in the
magnificent hall of the House of
Representatives, and every prepa
ration is making to ensure a grand
success.
IT WrOUT be wise not to prosecute
any more of the ring thieves until
better juries can be obtained in
Richland. We have had enough of
the Eight-to-Seven business, and
a Seven-to-Five jury is even
worse. The people will liot be
satisfied to g,q to a heavy exponse
to have mistrials.
WE sHOULD, ere this, ha.vo con
gratulated Messrs. Riordon and
Dawson updn obtaining sole owner
ship of The .News and' Courier,
having purchased from Mr. Wood,
of New York, his interest in that
magnificent paper. Ten years ago,
we believe, these young journalists
with no capital, but abundant brains
and pluck, undortook the manago
mont of the News. How they have
succeeded as newspaper men is well
known. It is no less gratifying to
their friends to learn that their
venture hak p)roved, also, in these
days of failure, a fnancial success.
May their future be bright.
PRESIDENT HAYES has appinted
the 29th a day of thanksgiving.
He is the first president since James
Buchanal4 who has been ruler of the
whole country; and for the first
time the people of the South can
observe the holiday appointed by
him without feeling that it is a
mockery. Although the wolf is
still at the door of thousands in
this State, there is much to be
thankful for. Intelligenco and
worth once more are enthroned in
power ; the corruptionists are all
in jail or beyond the State limits.
All is peach, when at this time last
year the fNorrois of war wore im
minent, and when no one knew but
that the morrow might bring forth
rapine, murder, pbt.ilenee or
famine. In effecting this change
President Hayes was largely in
strumental. Hir sense of justice
prevailed against the bigotry and
malice of Morton, Chandler, Blaine
and-the former leaders of the party.
The Noutjk can now respect the
President without dishonoring her-.
self. 1For all these reasons we cani
well afford to return thanks to
Providence, and to pray also for'
blessings upon the President of the
United States.
The Novetnber Elections.

Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massa'

alone protects the peoplo from the

THE TiLAL 01F EX-TREAS
URtER1 CADOZO.
Four White Aid Eight Colored Jurors
Lee and Woodruff on the Stand--A
Straight Story of Fraud--How they
Did It.
The prosettion of the Radical
thieves began in Columbia on the
15th inst. with the tr'il of Cardozo,
on an indictment charging him with
conspirizig with Gleaves, S. J. Lee,
Woodruff, and Jones, to defraud
tho State by a bogus pay- certificato
issued to C. L. Frankfort, pseudo
nym for Cardozo. Gleaves had not
been captured, and a not pros was
entored as to all the others but Car.,
dozo. After preliminary skirmish~
ing between Judge Moltua and At
tornoy General Conner, who is as
siated by Solicitor Abnoy and
Messrs. C. R. Miles and L. F. You
mans, a jury was empanelled, con
sisting of four whites and eight
blacks, among the former being Capt.
John S. Wiley and Maj. H. P.
Green.
General Conner opened for the
prosecution, giving an outlino of
what tho Stato would provo. He then
placed oi the stand ox-Speaker S. J.
Lee, who testified in substanceo as
follows: He was Speaker of the
Houso in 1873. On a certain occa
sion Cardozo and Gloave. had come
to soo him. Cardozo said that
a balanco of $4,000 was left in the
treasury, and propoied that a pay
certificate should be issnol to cover
that amount. The throo agreed that
a cortificato to cover that aImount
should be drawn, and that it was to
be divided into fivo c(al parts, to
be divided betwoon the three men,
tio and Woodruff and Jones, the
conl-rence of all of these being
necessary to make a regular claim.
After the agreement between the
throo palties named, the making of
the certificate.was agreed upon as I
have stated; Mr. Giloaves was char god
with having it drawn up. The joint
certificate book was kept by the
President of the Senate.
After the agreement, myself, I
think it was, suggested to Mr.
Gloaves that he had better have the
paper prepared. He agreed to do so
in his house. There was something
said about payment of it in certiti
cates of indebtedness. That was
said by Mr. Cardozo, an4 I left the
room shortly after thlat, with the
undcrstanding wvhich I have spoken
of. The certificate was madoC after
this meeting. This mooeting was
b)efore the signing of the paper now
beforo me.. The paper was signed
up shortly after wards-tihe next day,
perhaps ; I won't b)0 positive on that.
After signing the paper, I did not
see it any more until this year.
I think there was something said
aA- to howv the pauper was to be
drawn up and what name was to be
used. Mr. Gloaves said :I and
Joe will attend to that-meaning
Joe Woodrufi.
Q. Was there any discussion as to
who 'should present the paper for
payment in that room '? A. I think
there wvas something said about hlow
it would got into the treasury de'
partment.
Q. Wile made that inquiry ? A. I
think that wvas Mr. Cardozo.
Q. What was agreed uponl as to
who shoul present It 'l A. I thinkc
Mr. Gleaves said tl 4t Joe would
attend to that ; "Joo vill have that
fixed."
WitnIess wvent Onl to state that .0.
L. Frankfort was a fictitious nanme ;
that Gloaves, about forty-eight
hours afterwards, brought the pape':
to him for his signature ; that it had
then been signed by Gloavos and
'Woodrut, and that ho never saw the
paper afterwards till this summer;
that afterwards ho and leaves
went around to Cardozo'r, house in
leaves' carriage, and thlat there
Cardozo gave them each $800 in1
certificates of indebtedness ; that
Cardozo sai he wvould keep his, and
pay Jones and Woodruff thleirs;
that the certificates wvore then sell
ing at 50 or 00 per cent. ; that tho'y
were receivable for tAxes, and' roe
in value as f,be. thpowfoi- p motit' of
'taxed' ap'iicebe; n d that ivitnessj
afterwards paid debts with his at 90
per cent. and upwards ; that this
was botween the 8th and the 14th of
Decombor, 1873.
On the cross examination. witness
testified thable had testilied beforo
the investigating committeo with the
understanding that if they used him
as a wituoss they would not proso
cute him ; that if they did not so
use him his testimony would not be
used against him.
On the rqdirect examination, he
testifidd that vhen ho wont to Wash.
ington on a 0oinittoo opposed to
the taxpayers' committee, a noto for
$2,000 was mado by Gleaves and
endorsed by witness, Neagle, Y. J.
P. Owens, and perhaps others, to 11.
K. Scotf, for the purposo of paying
the coumlitto's expenses ; that a
certificate of $2,000 was issued to
F. L. Christopher, a fictitious namo,
to securo the payment of the note to
Scott. This cortificato was pro.
duced in court.
Josephus Woodruff was called for
the Stato. Ho corroborated the
statement of Leo as to the $4,000
certificato, and he prodiced his
shorthand memorandui book. Mr.
Melton objectel to this book being
introduced, but the edurt hold that
the witness might refer to it to re
fresh his memory. Witness also
produced the books of the Republi
can Printing Company, to show the
eutries relative to hii and Jones'
share of the $4,000. Mr. Melton
Objected to these books, but this
objection also was over-ruled. Pozid
ing his examination the court ad
journed till 10 o'clock on Friday.
On motion of General Connor, it
was ordered that tho jury should
not separato before the verdict was
given, and that their comfort should
be provided for. They were accord
ingly acconmiodated in the billiard
hall of the Columbia hotol, where
each juror was provided with a bed
and food.
On Friday morning the examina
tion of WoodruffN was resuod. He
produced the oash book of the lie
publican Prinlhug Compainy, 1111(1
rcad an entry of dalte 2:ld Doeomb,,-,
of $9,750, to S. S. Fund, C. L. F.,
and said that S. S. Fund meant
Sunday School Fund ; that C. L. F.
stood for F. L. Cardozo ; that
Sunday School Flud was the inme
under which all PAYmIents IM-ad for
"gratification" were eutered ; that
C. L. F. was habitually used for F.
L. Cardozo, and that the entry
showed that so much Nvas paid 6o
Cardozo. He also produced a eer
tilicato for $2,500, payable to F. L.
Chriistopher, which Gleaves said wau
to b0 cared for by Cardozo.
On cross ex.uniinationi he said lie
had had a great many fraudulent
transactions, beginning in 1868. He
said also ho had carried Cardozo
another claim for $5,000, 0ndorsed
by 11. T Morriam, as a pro.snt fromn
Lee, Gle.ves, Jones and himnsol[,
that Cardozo refused to have it and
tore it up. Ho denied thIiat Cardozo
had matido him wr-ite "canceled un
used" on tihe ba-ck of it, until Mr.
Melton piroduiced tile corLtiica te with
the endl(or-seIluent, and( tripued himn.
He further said lie had obb~cims111
wvhich Cardozto refused to pay.
Other Les-timony was given of no
par-ticuhar implor-tanue.
Jones, Mr. Wolls and Mr. Coch
ran testilled, tracing the Frankfort
ccirti ficate throngh different hands
to the tireasury vaults. The State
then r-ostod.
Cardozo took the stand. lie said
when WVoodruff brought tioMe hrriam
corntifi cate he indignantl1y refused
to receive it, and threatened to have
Woodr-uff indlicted if any other at
temp)t was made to b)ribe him. He
kept back par-t of WToodruiff's money
-about 875,000--becauso ho had
failed to preparoe an izmmigrat ion re -
port. He had communicated wvithm the
Legislature, puohtestig againsat the
over-issue of cor-tificates. He could
not tell wvhat ceortificatos wo
fraudulent, but he aiuspectod a nm
ber'. Ho der.ied havinIg palid the
expenses of the committee to Wash
ington from the Stato treasury.
Heoknewv nothing about the "S. S.
Fund" or "C. L. F." In a word, ho
p)ut in a general and specific denial
of the chargos brought against him.
CJour-t adjour-ned over to Satur-day.
On Satur-day tihe testimony of
Cardozo was continued. It con-..
sisted mainly of ai description of thoe
way things wero (lone in the treansury
department, the appropriation laws,
etc.
T. J. Minton for defendant tosti
fled that lhe paid certificates usually,
without inquiring whether the on
dlorsed names were genuine or not.
He also testified to Benedict's hand
writing on- tihe ireceipt for paymnenlts
made.
Woodruff, recalled, said Cardozo's
percentnges for paying him money
duo were froem five to ten per cent.
Jones and Hardy Solomon testi
fled to similar doings. Hardy said
Cardozo hand always pretended to be
his frion d, but was really his enemy.
L. N. Zoaly and John R. Cochran
contradicted Cardozo in several im .
portant particulars. The State here
cluod.. The .argument began on
Mond1ay morning.
