Chamberlain OF RICHLAND COUNTY. NOW WE HAVE IT. DON'T SUITORT HIM BECAUSE HE WILL TAY YOUR DEBTS ? N WHAT NEXT? IIOBSOiVS CHOICE. Why ire do not Support Cham berlain ! Because along with Moses and the vest of (hat party lie is responsible for the debased and demoralized condition of (he State? No. Because he was ono of the Land Commission; and took so little care of tho iutcrcsts of the State, and so much for himself, that tho State lout hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he became suddenly rich ? No. Because ho was a member of the Financial Board of tho State which* inflicted upon the Stato an increase of six millions of indebtedness in a fraudu lent manner, and do ono has yet ap peared who rcccivod any bou*Gt from it except those iu whose hands it was last traced ? No. Because ho brought Kimpton from outer darkness and mado him tho owner of much of what was formerly the wealth of Carolina, through his appoint ment as Financial Agent of the State ? No. Because he hai persistently aided every scheme of oppressiou, and opposed every real attomptat relief in tho Stato ? No. But it is because Mr. Chamberlain is at'present the lawyer and representa tive of tho fraudulent indebtedness of the Statc;fnnd because the devotion which he has exhibited towards it in tho past and tho vast amount of interest which he possesses in its recovery, any attempt to make him the Governor of the State would be only a step in the law suit which he has in charge. If tho pcoplo of this State intend to pay this debt, them let then support Chamberlain. If thoy do not intond to do so, then let them say so in unmista kable terms. Tho suit is brought against them; thoy now have the power to control it. Elect Chamberlain, and that power is gono from them and their beirs forever.? Charleston Sun. Kfojor C. W. Dnttx. Interview with the^Solicitor oe the First Judicial Circuit. Solicitor BuMz arrived in Oraage burg on Monday of this week, and took rooms at Mcronoy's hotel. He remain ed until Wodnesdny, and was oalled upon during tho time by hosts of his friends. Owing to tho eminont service he has rendered for the last two years in the interest of reform and good govern ment, and the earnestnosi and ability displayed in the prosecution of the '?Robber" Governor, in our last Circuit Court, Major Buttzbas almost become an authority with tho pcoplo horo. On Tuesday last, therefore, we sent our Reporter to interview him, and obtain his views. Major lluttz was in a good and happy mood, but recognizing the power of the press, said to deponent, "be seated Sir." Reporter?I obscrvo that your opin ion in regard to tho political and fin an cia? condition of Charleston County Mm published a few days ago in the Sun. ?ff OrangobuTg belongs to your Circuit), I hovo called to got your views of affairs here. Solicitor Buitz~I have no objection to stating thorn. I am willing to ; do any thing for the benefit of the Republican party, aud to benefit the citizens of tho State. Tho financial condition of your County is very bad. Previous to the last tax gathering, through mismauago incut of County officials, a largo debt had accumulated, and tho Legislature had, therefore, to levy an extra tax of threo mills to pay off said debt. But the Governor induced the County Treasurer to spend a part of tho money raised by tho taxes for his use, tho Treasurer then taking a part of it him self, there was not much left with which to pay new or old olaims. Your County is also without suitable public buildings. You havo miserablo little ?heds here for public porposos. Pro visions have been mado for tho oroction of public buildings, but because of tho stealing that has been going on by public officers, an additional tax will have to bo levied now boforo you can havo things as they ought to bo. This is hard on the people, and thoy should hold tho men to a sovaro accountability who have caused this burden to fall upon them. It has been charged that cor ruption has been going on hero for six years. 1 have caused the Grand Jury to appoint a committee of three of their number to investigate your affairs. The people must know the manner in which so much of their money has beon expeud ed. It will not be practicable for me to bring civil suits against the bonds of any officials, or give out bills of indict mcnt, until after the Grand Jury shall have mado their investigation, and reported it to the Court. Reporter?Does the action of Judge Graham in quashing tho iadictmout agaiust Moses necessarily stop the case against him for larceny? Solicitor Jhittz?Certainly not! It ouly delays the trial uutil a new indict ment is given to tho grand jury for the same offence. If Moses had stood his trial, and been acquitted or convicted, he could not have been tried again for the same crime. Of course 1 entirely disagree with the conclusions arrived at by Judge Graham, in quashing the in dictment, but have not as yet taken the necessary stcpB towards affecting an appeal iu the mutter, becau*o of tho peculiar organization of the Supremo Court iu relation to the case?the Chief Justice being the father of the Govern or. Under ouk Constitution- tlie Cief Justice caunot preside over a case where his son is upon trial. The law provides that in case of the disability of any member of the Supreme Court, the Governor shall designate some one to take his place. Thero are additional reasons which have had weight with me. I did not want to trust au appeal before the Supreme Court. I do not think that*" a quostion of so grave import mce shou Id be submitted to the highest tribunal in the State, when the surroundings might jeopardize a oorrout exposition of the law. Tho next torm of our Court will act in October. This, you will observe, comes off before the election, which takes placo iu Noveinbor ; therefore it will bo impracticable for me to giro out a new indict mcnt before the January term. By that time tho new Governor will have becu inaugurated and Judgo Graham's decision will uo longer apply to his Excellency. Reporter?Do you intend to take an active part iu tho campaign for Gover nor ? Solicitor Buttz?It is the duty of every citizen to use his best endoavors towards olecting honest aud othorwiso capable men to office. Public men should bo qualified for the performance of thoir duty. I havo not mado up ray mind, however, as to who would bo tho safest man to trust. There is a good deal said against each man's namo that has been mcutioncd. Reporter?Havo tho charges against our school Commissioner beon brought to your notico ? Solicitor Jiultz?Yes, but I am not satisfied as to their sufficoinoy, and can not order an investigation just now. Reporter?What will be tho rosult of tho organizations throughout tho State called Tax Uuions ? Solicitor liuttz?Tho objcot of thoir organization depends upon a contingency. If Moses should bo ro-olected Gov ernor they will refuse to pay taxes, on ertod>? l thp| 05. ?W the ground that ho and his subordinates j hayo misappropriated or divertod > tho money so oolleotod from people, from its logitimato purpose* collision will occur botween tho tax,' collector and the tax payers?oonfusior. , and nnarohy will provai', the President j of the Unitod States will be called upon by both sides to interfere in their boy half, and the President, in my opinion', will direct the army to support tho tax payers, or at loast, prohibit thorn from \ upholding a oorrupt government. Tho only immediate prospect of obtaining j control of tho State by tho Democracy, will be through the ro eltction of Moses by tho Republican party. This they know, and thoreforo their kindly feelings towards him. In comparison to all other RepublicauB President Grant and the Republican party North will givo a reasonable support .to any Republican nominated for Govornor ex-*J cent Mores. Reporter?Do you intend to soc that affairs in tbiscouaty shall be conductod bettor than heretofore 7 Solicitor Bnttz?I shall use every effort as a public prosecutor.agaiust all persons who knowingly aud wilfully viola'os tho laws of this State, without regard to race, color or previous condi tion. Major Buttz looks well, and has that same determined spirit which made Mosas tremble in bis sandals last May. Flo is on the right track yet, and tho peoplo intend to stand by him in his efforts to do good. Young men, you art the architects of] your own fortunes. Rely on your own strength of body and soul. Take for your guiding star self relia nee. Sub scribe ou your banner, "Duck is a fool ; Pluck is a honor." Don't take too much advice; keep at your helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself; striko outjassnane your own position. Pat potatoes ?in a cart, over a rough road, and the small ones go to the bottom. Rise above the envious aad jealous; far above the mark you intern! to hit. Energy, invincible detcrminination, with a right motive, are the levers that move the world. Don't drink ; don't chew ; don't smoke; don't swear; don't deceive ; bo in earnest; be self roliant ; be genorous ; be sivil; road tho papers ; advertiso your business; make money and do good with it; love your Go 1 aud fellow men ; love truth and virtue your country aud obey its laws. Cut this out and paste it inside tho crown of your hat, and always recollect for sound; advice we must look above. GLENN SPRINGS?
