From'the.Greenville News of 6th inst. United States Comm issioner Barret, of Plokens pulisbee a curd directly denying 1 that he has been guilty of offilial misson t duct. This nation nay be satisfactory to him, but it will not do him any good with the publio. No man's character is good I enough to make his simple denial of grave charges evidence of his innooeee strong 4 enough to satisfy impartial people. Charges against Commissioner Barrett have been whispered and spoken alou. for months It he has not heard of thens he is one of very few men in the towns ot Pickens and Greenville. Now that those charges have been expressed in print, we can see only one way for him to act to sa tisfy the public mind and clear his own oflcial and personal reputation- That way , is to demand an official investigation of his proceedings and let all the facts come out. rhero has been crooked work and guilt somewhere, and the people ought to know the guilty men and have the satisfautiou of seeing them punished. It is fair to any that the charges against u Cominissioner Barrot'. have not been sup- I ported, so far as we know, b sworn evi. I dence or detailed statements of acts and figures. They have been geniiral ad naked a of proof 's his denial. But they are grave enough and wide-spread enough to require a natn who is cnreful of his reputation to I meet them and crush them with evidence ii he can. The people of Pickens have n right to de- tl mand that all t he facts of the conduct of tle lItevento Department in theie county he brought out. They hiavu been harried and hunted and despoiled, andi are entitled to look to the government undcr whose name b and nthon iy the wrongs have been con. misted to avenge them. Let us see what will be done. It Commissioner Barrett does not know what the charges against himn are, we can . aid will enligh,ten hitim o his demand.
