It ,needs, therefore no apology to our readers if we devot a good deal of space in the colum~ns o this issue to the recent development o the corruption cases. The outlyini nerves in Texas and the Indian Terri tory. may show the symptoms of the disease, but the canse of the malad' is in the brain and nerve centres al Washington. It may be *ell to diver1 our attention for awhile from our loca ills and gain conifort-if comfori there be in it-by casting our eyes or the great national disease which make: itself felt to the most distant part o: the body politic. *It most not be supposed that BeIk nap is ~any wise thaxi the 65%be cause he gets justice first.

She is a woman of fine presence. She dressed in something like grandeur Her costumes were noted for extreme decollette. The staid element of Wash ington society held her a little in re. proof for this foreien taste, when they remarked of her that they preferred to have other men's wives display their charms so liberally rather than their own. Mrs. Belkuap. as Miss Tomlinson, was a bosom friend of Con gressman Blackburn's wife. To her she betook herself, when her husband, coming home from the committee, de clared that all was lust. To work more effectively upon Mrs. Blackburn, THE WRETCHED WO.IAN brought her baby to plead for her. It was one of the few coid, stormy nigts experienced in Washington. The ground was covered with an inch of slush, he snow welting as it fell. As she appeared at Mrs. Blackburn's it was impossible to recognize her. A plain cloak was thrown over her, and her babe was Dressed in her arms She had barely~ reachid the inside door when she fell in a fain.t. Recov ering, she fell upon 1rs. Blackburn's neck. She raved piteously to save her husbaud and child. She would bear all the blame. She alone was guilty. They might hang or imprison I her, but spare her babe and-a us band. During the scene a ack burn came in, and the two women Clung to him, his wife almost as mach moved as the wretched wife and mo ther. Blackburn says he was NEVER SO MOVED IN HIS LIFE by any appeal, but he was powerless, if he had been williug, to shield Belk nap. He told the unfortunate woman, gently but firmly, that justioe must be done, and that he was powerless. This was not the first time Mrs. Belk nap had asked Mr. Blackburn's good offices. She told him some points of the story a few weeks ago, but did not say how her husband was implicated. A Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Republican, under tate of the 3d, says : Grant said in the presence of several people that it would give New Hamp shire to the Democrats, and Blaine is said to have admitted the same thing. Hale, Frye and several other members leave for New Hampshire to-night, and the Republicans intend making a desperate effort to overcome the evil effects of this exposure. rThe report is that lightning will -strike Senator Logan next. A post. trader- is here, a-rd prepared to swear that he paid Logan 8$5.000 for influ ence in procuring his appointment. The money was nominally to defray jelection expenses, but paid after Lo Sgan's election. All the post-traders are to be summoned for examination by the committee. A Washington letter says: "Mr. Clvmer, chairman of the committee on ex~penditures of '.he War Department, has been severely criticised by some of his party friends for the reluctance with which he appeared to enter upon the investigation of the sale of the post-traderships. In explanation of any such apparent reluctance, it should be~remembered that Mr. Clymer and Gen. Belknap were old college friends, having spent several years together at Princeton. Since that time their ae quaintance and friendship has been continued, and Mr. Clymer has always had implicit faith in Gen. Belknap's honesty and aprigh.tness. In speak ing of t-he memory of their college days, Mr. Clymer described Gen. Belknap as having been a favorite of all his classimates and acquaintances. a young man of very flne presence and ex eedingly great promise. Mr. Clymer had watched him during all the years since graduation, and had felt a kind of pride in his successes and promo tion. During the last Congress, the families of Mr. Clymner and Secretary Belknap were quite intimate, and it would not be strange if the former at first refused to believe the stories which were told about the latte'. The duty which Mr. Clymner had to per forum was, under the circumstances, a most painful one, but it was one which could not be avoided." IBelknap had received intimation that lie would be likewise criminally prosecuted, and began making prepa rations to leave Washington by a p'i vate conveyance. On Saturday he called on a friend with whom he wish Ied -to have won ied transactions, and the plan of escape- 'was to be carried out at an early hour this morning The Secret Service detectives who had been detailed to watch the premises, at 1 o'clock this morning aroused At torney-Genieral Pierrepont, who gave orders to Chief Washbtirne that under no circumstances must he permit Belknap to leave the city. The force was increased, and this morning Uni ted States District Attorney Welles was sent for, and a warrant was drawo up for the arrest of Belkoap on crimi nal charges. Two offiers of the Se cret Service repaired to the residence, and informed the General that if he attempted to escape he would be ar rested and taken to jail, but if they were permitted to remain in the house he could stay there until such time as it would be necessary to take him into -custody. Finding that his plans had been frustrted, Belknap quietly acknow ledged himself a prisoner, and said he would rot again think of trying to es cape the fate that awaited him. The humiliation which his conduct has placed him in has saddened his coun tenance exceedingly. In addition to the presence of the officers in the house, there are also two stationed outsi le, and every pre e aution has been taken to prevent his k aving Washington. It is rumored that Schenek was re Editorial Review. Judge Taft, of Ohio, has accepted the place of Secretary of War. The lady directresses of the Calhoun monument association have called a meeting. We hope that they will be successful in their efforts. The inhabitants of the West Manna Islands, lying on the South of Ice land, 5,000 in iumber, are roported as in a dying coudition from starvation. Clayton Allen, of Abbeville, says when- he gets ready to marry it will not matter who the bride may be cidnybody who wears a dress" will spit himw. There is no doubt that Belkoap's wife has ruired him through her ex travazance. The mode of living at Washington, nu-cessajily leads to cor raption. Fred Grant has gone to his com nand ir the West, where he ought to have been all the tinic. His daddy, no doubt, thinks that he might learn some of Babcock's and Belknap's tricks. We repeat that the Carlist war is I ended ; and we are grateful that we way hereafter be spared the efforts of twisting our tongues around the uu pronounceable names of Biscay and .Nvarre. The Virginia House of Delegates has refused further allowance of sta tionary to its members; cause-de pleted state of the Treasury. A good I:example for the South Carolina honor ables to follow. Martiu R. Delaney, who stumped the State with Green, has been sen tenced for malpractices to twelve months in the penitentiary, and has appealed to the Supreme Court. What a blessing that the Green ticket failed. It is refreshing to know that in spite of the hard times some men are foupd who can afford to be generous, and more especially editors. The Press and Banner offers to contribute to the removal of the mistletoe on one of the Main street oak trees of Abbe ville. The immaculate Sawyer, the former Normal teacher of this State, after wards Assistant Secretary, has like wise been detected in doubtfnl trans ~actions-an alleged cotton fraud. He expresses his opinion, however, that his case will probably never be reached for trial. They struck a rich vein of corrup tion in the Emna Sehenck mine, the Belkuap lode is very productive, but wait until they find the Grant Bonanza -and the indications are very favor able-and you'll see a mine of ~in exhaustible virgin corruption ore. They will strike it in a short while. The Register makes the following good suggestion: "Let Congress repeal the news paper postage law. It is a heritae of Beast Butler's bate, an attempt muzzle a free press, a direct tax on public intelligence. Breaking up the stealage in any one subordinate depart ment will far more than supply what ever deficiency may arise from the abolition of this pirate levy on enlight enent." Another chapter in the list of hor rors is the burning of the house of the aged of the 'Little Sisters bf the Poor," a large four-story building in Williamsburg, by which eighteen old persons are known to have perished in the fiames. One man 75 years of age threw himself from a third story win dow and was dashed to pieces, and another of 65 met with the same hor rible fate. Beecher preaches on Belknap He says "it is a sorrow, a shame and a bitter grief that such wickedness should be disclosed in high places. It is not for any of us to blink at the transgression." It is really refreshing to find such an illustration) of the eye and the mote dand the beama and the neighbor. In the judgment of most people, Beecher is guilty of much more heinous crimes than Belkoap. If there is any truth in the rumor that another daily is to be published in Columbia under the editorial man agement of L. C. Carpenter and Thos. Cavender, which is to advocate out and out radicalism, then we may be certain that- a war to the knife fight will be shown by the extreme party. Whitte more, Hardly Solomon and Dunn are said to be stockholders. Look out for the raw head and bloody bones. The Mary Bell, the finest steamer on the Mississippi, was totally de stroyed by fire last week while loading at Vieksburg. The fire originated among the cotton bales, of which there were about five thousand on board. There were between 200 and 300 pas sengers, many of whom expected a high time at Ne~w Orleans during MardiGras. The passenger were all saved, but lost their baggage-and no Mardi-Gras. Mr.. H. Dn.-ha b-eehn apnointed with considerable attain ments,although his productions have never obtaioed the wide-spread poputarity of that master production of his predecessor yelept. '-The Perfect Poker Player." Nu;nberb of witnesses in the im peachment ease are continually going to Columbia. It has been asked us by some of them who would pay their iexpenses, and if they had no money how could they go? We see that a warrant of attachment has been sent out for Magill Fleming, who had been summoned and had not made his ap pearaLce. If you don't want to go in the company of the sergeant-at arms, you had better borrow the money, although it may be hard to get it. i The Chinaman is an apt scholar. We have all heard how closely he imitates the management of machinery when its working is shown to him, even to the turning of a wrong lever and the touching of a mistaken spring. The following is a good illustration, but it shows likewise that if oppor tunity b3g iven him he will soon excel his teachers: Ah Ki, a Chinaman has fallen aptly into, American political .customs. He is court interpreter in Virginia City, Nevada, and when the demand for his services is so light that he fears the vbolitiou of his office, he goes at night into the Chinese part of the town, in cites fights among his countryneu, and thus creates cases in which his interpreting is necessary. Besides that, he makes the testimony suit the highest bidder. The Supreme Court of this State in the case of the "Homestead Building and Loan Association against J: H. Enslow," decided that a homested right cannot be asserted as against a mortgage. Under the present law this is doubtless a good deciion. But should not the law, and if necessary the constitution, be altered so as to secure wife and children a homestead under all circumstances ? This is the object of a homestead law, and if it can be thus easily.defeated it will soon become a mere nominal privilege. We understand very well that the passage of such a law would increase the diffi e ulty of a needy landowner to procure money ; but if the law intends to pro tect women and children by means of a homestead let the law be so framed that the object may be obtained.

Oh! for a public well in the town of New berry ; and oh, for a Council that will not permit such characters as the '-cough candy-man" t'o come here and "gull" the people out of their hard earned money. PILGRIM. Fo -TH ERALD&. Col. Jas. 31. Crosen. It will be gratifying to the many friends of this gentleman to know that he has been elected as Judge of the First District in Texas. The people of Texas have been fortunat;e in having in their midst such a man, and have displayed most excellent common sense in placing him in such a position. His endowments and capacity eminent ly qualify him for the post. On all occasions he will be found dispensing justice with an impartial hand, re gardless of .outside influences and governed only by a mind whose dis position will be to do what is right. It is pleasant and cheering to the wri ter to know that his''old associate and partner has risen to the elevated dig nity of Judge, and he thinks from his knowledge of him, even in these perilous times, he can justly say that he will reflect credit on the Texas bench and prove 'an honor to the State of his nativity. Success to Jeems. AN OLD FRIEND. FoR THE HERALD. PROSPERITY, S. C., March 5th, 1876. MR. EDITOR : Pursuant to a call of the Democratic Committee. the citi zes of Township No. 9, held a meet ing at Prosperity, on the 28d ult. The Chairman, Mr. H. C. Mosely, explained the object of the meeting, after which a committee of three were appointed to nominate permanent of fcers, which resulted in the unani mous selection and election of P. WV. Counts, President. L. B. Maffett, 1st Vice-President. Allen H awkins, 2d Vice-President. H. C. Mosely, Secretary. A. L."Wyse, Treasurer. U. B. Whites, Corresponding Sec'y. Sixty-eight names were then en rolled members of Prosperity Demo cratic Club. The County Chairman desiring no Constitution to be adopted until after the County meeting, the only business remaining at presentI was the election of six delegates to the County Convention, which result ed in the choice of D. Rikard, P. W. Counts, J. M. Wheeler, L. B. Maffett, H. C. Mosely and A. P. Dominick. The Chairman then made an earn ea appal urging the enoletof Foa TJU HERALD. CHAPPCLL'S, S. C-, March 11, 1876. MR. EDtTOR: "Cou:1try11an," from Broad Ri-r, and our ourselves are equalif p-riotie. We both experi ence the sane -gratifiCatioun to know that :Jl have tic& despaired of redeem ing our State;" both have the same admiration for their efforts to reorgan ize the Democratic party for that pur pos,. But at the same time we differ diametrically as to the wisdom of such a reorganization. He must think that it is a "uiisstep-ill-timwed, im politic and unwise;" for our part we must think it a safe step-well-timed, politic and wise. Well-timed, because it is just in the "nick of time" to save us, the people, from utter ruin; poli tie, because it is the course that pro mises the speediest and surest relief from woes unnumbered, and wise, be cause it is the true, straightforward course. "Countryman's" main argument is against the name Democracy, adding "there is nothing in a name." There is. indeed, nothing in a name in the abstract, but when that name becomes associated with certAin qualities, good or bad, it at once assumes a value! It is useless to talk about it-every body knows, that by the terms Dem ocracy and Republicanism in South Carolina at present, no theory of Gov ernment is involved-it is but a prac tical means of distinguishing between the essentials of any good government and the corruptions of a mis-govern ment. All that we, the people, know oCDemocracy is that it is the syno ymn of all in South Carolina politics that is true and honest-all that we know by experience of Republicanism is that it is but an6ther name for fraud and corruption. And it is all that we care to know of either at present. Our fellow "Countryman!' says that all that we want is an honest govern ment-he is eminently correct. And in order to get such a government we intend to start out in an honest, straightforward manner; sticking close to the honest party-known in South Carolina as the Democracy; and by renouning that corrupt, self-condemn ed party known to us as Republicanism. Not, indeed, that there may not be somewhere amongst this geiieral mass of corruption a few small potatoes not yet wholly tainted, and perhaps one ortwo really sound ones; but because we prefer to pick from a pile known to us to be generally good. We are thus sure of good seed at least, and will consequently take an honest interest in thieum, cultivating them assiduously ourselves and getting all the help we can from others, trusting that by the kindly favors of Heaven they may be brought to bear fruit and reward us for our labor. That there may be a few good men in the Republican par ty some of us may not doubt-others do; so that rather than quarrel about the matter as to whethor there are any, and if so, who they are, we prefer to let them all alone, and to try some good men from amongst us; about whom there are no doubts, no fears whose characters are established and do not necessita~te being looked into by an investigating committee to tell whether they are honest-as would have to be done in the ease of Repub lican office holders. We, the people, have not the time nor the means for such investigations. 'The few honest Republicans will have to go by the board with the adventurers who have usurped their name-they made a mistake in getting in such bad com pany and must get out of it, but must iot expect us to reward them for ex ercising this self-preserving prudence. It is better that even a few honest Republicans should want office than that the whole people should want good governrment. Our fellow "Countryman'' again says that this honest government must come from the people, and only from the people. We feel that on us devolves the main work and we want to meet it fairly and squarely. We intend to jess about our sovereignty and to exert it more-to cease jawing so much about our present political lead ers and court-house lawyers, and where there really exists an evil to remove or remedy it by exercising our power. Yes!I we must have in these times of high corruption-when even a Sec retary of War or a foreign minister is as guilt y of robbery as he who relieves you of your purse upon the highway -in these slippery times, we must have unexceptional men upon unex eptional platforms. We must have the soundest Democrats of the sound est Democratic principles-economy, truth and justice. Then will we go into the battle in earnest, knowing that we are fghting not indeed over dead issues, but for live and practical priciples-for Honesty, for Truth, for Freedom itself.
