ID. F. 11~LY~~r WV1KENW o4 It., .8. 0. Thursday, February 22, 1877. Ceaa Oweep Governor Hampton made a clean PWeep:ad removed all the Chamber. lain Treasrert and Auditors. He has now turned loose on the Trial Jus tices, and soon there wiN be none of them left. Let the official pruning kpiife be applied. vigoously, and the body politic puriffed. The Electoral Tribunal. Louisiana, like Florida, has gone ghmmering for Hayes. In the Flori, da case, Joe Bradley, the fifth Judge and Piesident maker, voted with the Demo6rats to inquire into the eli. gibility of 71=9phreys. but when it came to Louisiana, he voted against the same proposition. . In the Florida caso he knew Humphreys would be able to prove his eligibility, but when it came to Louisiana, he know that if he voted to inquire into the eligibility of the electors Hayes would lo0, and he stultified himself by voting against inquiry. The clectoralj tribunal was raised with the express understand.. ing by both parties that a;fair and im partial investigation should be had, and the electoral votes of the disputed States given to the candidate shown to havA received them. But the Re publicans having one majority on the tr- bunal, refuse' any investigation and take the returns of the Returning Boards as conclusive, thus attempting 0 legalize one of the most glaring frauds ever committed. They have done just what the chief conspirators in Washington said Ferry should do count in Hayes at all hazards. To avoid this usurpation of power by the presiding officer of the Senate, the Democrats consented to the tribunal, where it was thought that justice could bd obtained, and the man whom the 'people had elected could be pea, ceably declared the President of the United States. But in Joe Bradley they have found an infamous and willing tool, and the consumation 01 the conspiracy goes bravely on. Who! Oregon is reached, if the Radicals aci consistently with their action in tht Louisia na case, they will be obligec to give Tildon one vote, which would eloct him. But Joe, the fifth Judge, will be true to his party, and change his vote again. They wil[ then go hohinid the certificates of Governor Grover, declare that Cronan was not olligible, and give the three votes of that State to Hayes, and the conspi racy will be accomplished. Then the United States will have a fraudulent PresIdent-a'man,awho;was not elect,. ed. Liberty-bah. The Cincinnati Enquirer is disgust-. ed with the Electoral Commission. It urges the Democratic members to re f rain fr.om further participation in its p)roceedings and calls upon the House to throw every obstacle in the way of the count, and to repudiate the des cision when made. This will never do. We share the Enquiror's disgust b't we by no means endorse the counsel it gives to Democratic mem, bers of Congress. Whatever the do. casion of the Commission may be we will have to accept it as a final settle,. ment of the question at issue. It is too late now to make a fight. The Democratic members of Congress made the bill a law; the country sus tained their action; and if the result be Hayes we must swallow the bit ter pill as best we may. Prof essor Soelye, of Massachusetts was the only Republican in the House who voted against Justice Bradley's vote, declaring that Florida be count od for Rayes. lie wanted an inves. tigation, which would satisfy the people that the decision of the Eloc. toral Commission was based on some. thing better than fraud. J. Madisos Wells, President o the infamous Returnuing Board o Louisiana, proposed to Mr. Ken ner the wealthiest and one of the mosi respectable citizens of New Orleans to count the vote of that State foi Nie;cho'Is for $200,000, and for Tildeg for -$00,000. This Is the mar., by thi help of Joe Bradley who makes Pre Bidente. Tbs Democratic and Independen press oZ the .country are dnoon thysaotion of the Electoral Commis lion in severe, though jnst terms. T o Oeros Court. A omoIa.( twfbe Carleston Journo of (oiotnerce, fom CluobIa ddlte the ltb instaat, gives. 6, followin interesing propeedingo in the bu. yreme Court: In the Supreme Court tbis tnorninj the habeas corpus case of the prisons pardoned by Governor Emptoi came up. Elliott announced that th reference was not completed, an asked for an extension of time unti an important witness could be gotten Being pressed for partioulars he an nounced this witness to be B. W. IN Mackey. The Court asked if a wo tion for an attachment of the dolin quent witness had been made, t< which Elliott responded in the no gative. Atter much trouble the court . ex tracted from Elliott that Mackey wa expeated to prove that Governo Hampton was ineligible to holdioffice not being a citizen. Judge Willard remarkod that then had been a series of deliberate at. tempts to prevent the court fron coming to a judgment upon this im, portant an- vital question, in whicl Elliott had participated. Even goinj to the extent on one occasion of .in decing the prisoner to allow himsel to be remanded to the Penitentiarj rather than allow the court to decid the matter. In view of these fact be was disposed to show the respund ants very little favor. If thy wer not ready then, they never would be Elliott went into a somewhat ox cited and1 prolonged dOience of him self against the charge. Some ani mated sparing took place betweei Judge Willard and Elliott, durin which the former remarked that El. liott's name was in the possession c the court and it could appoint ai honest man to execute his function at its discretion. This Elliott con troverted. Attorney General Conner agail called attention to the fact that El liott had not boon officially recognize by the Court, and Baid he refused t recognize him as Attorney Genera and denied his right to act as sue until some such action had been Lake by the Court. Judge Willard remarked that on question in his mind was, whethe since the elcction, there had been day on which a Governor could I lawfully installed. This, of cours involved all the State officers. Attorney General Conner reiterat ed the proposition that Elliott ha no right to exercise the functions < Attorney General until recognized b the Court. Judge Moses said that Elliott wa Attornoy General de fanto, and thi question would be decided when hi authority w as questioned. Attorney General Conner-I ques tion it now. Judge Willard said his positiun wa that Elliott had no right to appear a Attorney General in thiis case. Elliott said if the Court would mak a decision to that effect, he woul< cheerfully submit. The Court being attacked on boti flanks, became badly demoralized, an< retreated precipitately, Judge W ii lard firing a Parthean shot by re marking that, Elliott's position wai one of a partisan, and not of a Stat< officer. Governor Hampton, it is said, wil Dot appoint any County Auditors, be lieving that the office will be abolish ed by the Legislature when it meets The Governor thiuks it ought to b4 done, and he is right, for there is n< more use for County Auditors that there is for a fifth wheel to a wagon The abolition of this office woul< save the taxpayers of the State nea: fifty thousaud dollars. Hurrah fo: Hampton. With a fraudulent President, sur rounded by Don Cameron, Zacl Chandler, Morton anid such contempt ible political demagogues, this "glo rious republie'' will be anything bu what the name implies. The admin istration will receive the hearty con tempt of over one half of the Ameri can citizens If the conspiracy to count in IIay< succeeds (and there seems but litt doubt of it now) the Radicals ma make the most of it, for it is their lai chance. When the American peep get an opportunity to speak again the ballot box, their party will 1 Swiped out of existence, and consign< toverlasting infamy.

The people I of that State have resolved not to re-. f sort to violence, but ha* 040pteo' 1 mode of resistance much more formi. - dable and effective than aMed'inon. stration; they bave'rofasd to" paf their State taxes to Govo'hamberlain, and it would be useless to. sell ..(ut their property as no one would buy .it. Unless Gov. Chamberlain coold com pel the collection of taxs, it would be utterly useless for him to expect to a maintain his authority for any 'length r of time. This State of 'affaire tnust inevitably result in the abandonment of all effort by Gov. Chamberlain to, maintain himself in the exercise of - the gubernatoiial functions of the State of South Carolina. NEw ORLEANS, Fob. 15.-Tro men called at the State HouSe door and' asked for Packard.

He was a native of Ohio, and had been in this State about eight years. This promisos to be as hard a year as our people have experienced for ja long time. With Radical usurpation .and a general prostration of busince, i there is, indeed a gloomy outlook. John R.
