AN H?HEST AND UNCORBUPTBD MAN. FOR GOVERNOR. Hon. EanielH. Chamberlain OF RICH LAND COUNTY. Umtei'Htaml Vs.. It e? &? ?mt cur leader of last week was miBinOpWrctcd by several of our readers. pWre ?;Wvc >C the It will'^^rcmcmbcrcd that we said in the event or the defeat of the Republican party, that t'ljos'; who helped to pull it down wotdd not ^Wiound here, after the chance of shar ing ilo spoils had gone, walking sido by eitlejAitb the Republicans; (hat they would either deny their guilt or go back to New Englnnd. Now wo mean to say that those who construed this into a (ling nt Mr. Chamberlain, or any Northern man of his stamp, misunderstood our meaning entire ly. Mr. Chamberlain is a bona fide citizen of this Siuic, all his interests are here, bis taxes arc paid here and if the party should cvrr be defeated, be will roinain with us and pbare our fate. we did mean those who Bcrntcd the spoils afar off, who prate abeut paying taxes, when their returns to the Auditor show nothing on the books but a one dollar poll tax, nnd who will have no occupation here when tho Republican party ceases to exist in this State. Are our friends satisfied now that we had no reference to tho accomplished, gentlemanly and honored citizen of South Carolina?the Hon. D. II. Chamberlain ? Cntlnvrr)' in Democratic Ken tacky. The Louisville Courier-Journal, a Demo cratic organ of vast infiuonco in (he South, has (he following edit oral on the use of tho bludgeon and the pistol in Kentucky. That 8tatc has a Democratic mnjority of nearly ninety thousand, and the Republicans cannot bo charged with the outrages committed there. Tho Democratic press, and the Netet and Couritr in particular, claim that it is only in those States where the Repub licans have control of the Government, that outlawry, exists. What have they (o say of Kentucky? Wo never saw a stronger de piction of organized crime and murdor in our llveJ, than that which we give bolow. Let them who aro so quick to stamp, in famy upon all Republican States, read nnd ponder. Here is the articlo : The pistolin kk.vtcct. ??The record of personal violence made in thrsc columns the last nix months is some thing n.ore than unpromising?it is dis couraging. The partial suspension of masked villainy seems to have opened the way for an epoch of individual outlawry of the most sanguinary and despicable char acter. In the darkest and bloodiest days of the dark and .bloody ground there was not a tithe of the murder done which has dis graced the soil of Kent tick during the pre sent year. Wc do not exaggerate-, nor arc we in rpirod by any sudden, lawful impulse. That which moves us through our wonder is that wc have been, and are, 60 slightly moved by event s which, had they occurred on the other side of the Atlantic, would con vulse all Europe. Our particular indiffer ence?the indifference of Insensibility brought around by familiarity?is tlic ex perience of tho good people, our neighbors. It is ' tho common experience; and it is the result of something nioro than familiarity. It is, in a certain way, the result of cowar .dlce; and we aro miserably to blame for it. Wo may as well consider the question as it deserves to be considered. We may as well discard tho notion (hut the substantial iu tcrcstsand moral character of tho State aro injured by advertising broadcast ovor tho land tho fact, for a fact it is, that there is little security for life, and but a slight penalty attached to [murder, iu Kentucky. We can not bo injured abroad. Wc havo already a reputation which can not be worsted, nnd, the bad luck of it is, that it is well deserved. Tho law against the carry ing of conccalel weapons is a dead letter. There has scarcely been the conviction of a respectable, well-to-do man for murder or homicide the last twenty years. Every coward and bully goes armed. Every case pf manslaughter goes unpunished. Every ?aso of shooting with Intent to kill passas by uh anamusing episode, provided there be no funeral. Even tho most atrocious, cold blooded, deliberate, malignant, dastardly assassinations havo left no mark on the statute books excopt the murk of acqititals purchased by money er intimidation. Red handed murderers roam at largo among respectable people. Rcd-hauded inurdororM occupy plaocs of responsibility and trust. The rule is that you may kill your man with mpunity. There is no danger of the gal ]pwp or the prison for tho assassin who has money and friends. A drin!? too many?a word too much?a pull at tho trigger of a six-shooter, and a funeral, and amook trill, and no thought for tho widow and tho orphan, no thought for tho public poacc, bo tho minderer be a good-natured fellow, who is sorry, and has enough to pay the piper. That's tho way tho law wags in Kentucky. There are at this moment fifty cases of homicide on our criminal docket, which ought to be recorded as murder cases, where the defendant is at largo on bail with the least possible danger of an adverse ro Bult. There are five hundred cases of petty shooting, with intent to kill, which ?tili never come to trial. Now and then a poor devil, caught with a pistol, is arrested and fined?for not using his weapon, we sup pose. But, if he uses it, that makes itaJL^ right; he has nothing (o fear uhJ^K'^obo a pauper or a njjjgjJT^jlftanf ],e i3 8uro t0 bo bun? very day decent people are ^^Mjoked by the acts of lawless cowards, who move about like walking arsenals, terrify ing tho timid and the unarmed, and oc casionally using violence oil those who will not submit to their gratuitous offenses. Quiet, peaceable people do not wash to ex poso themselves to the risk of public re monstrance, knowing the fatal uncertainty of the courts. Judges and prosecuting at torneys have not Itnfroqucntly been in open sympathy with arraigned murderers. Ex ecutive pardons are considered as pretty sure dernier resorts. The bravest arc afraid to prosecute, (iood men, courageous men, think it best to mind their own business rather than become conspicuous in a useless ctTort to maintain ttie majesty of the law at the probable cost of their lives. Juries are habitually unsteady, jockey able or corrupt. Tho bench itself seems to lo in to murder's side. In a word, there is no security for life, because no law for those who lake it, in Kentucky, and has not been this many a year." An Opinion from Judge Car ponder. Judge Carpenter has decided that the Act of the General Assembly, approved March 3rd, 1874, is unconstitutional. This act provides that the poll lax for the fiscal year of IK73 shall bo appropri alcd to thu payment of the school certifi cates of 1872 and 187:1, leaving open, inter alia, a wide field for educational specula tion. Ily the act of .March l'.i, it is made a felony for nny officor to apply a tax levied and collected for one year to the indebted' ness of any other year. The decision rests, however, not upon the conflicting provisions of these two acts, but upon conrt'.tutional groun Is. The opinion rests clearly upon the ground that the legislature has no right to divest, a tax levied for a specific purpose and year to any oilier purpose or previous time. This is a timely opinion, and is delivered with all that inevitable logic and character istic vigor thai belongs to Judge Carpenter. The conclusions of the Court are as follows : 1. That the funds in tho bauds of the County Treasurer is solemnly dc licit od and set apart under the constitutioi for tho use of public schools. 2. That it is a tax lieviod and collected as provided both by act of tho Legislature and the constitution; and it is a tax collec ted for the fiscal year commencing 1st No vember, 1873. 4. That I lie Legislature had no power un der the constitution, by any act of hers, to direct that tho tax collectc 1 for one fiscal year shall be applied to the payment of ib ficiencics of preceding fiscal years. 4. That tlic said act of March 3, 1874, and before referred to, attempts to do this very thing and is, therefore void. This dicision will apply to other Conn ty funds also. Under it the taxes collected for one fiscal year cannot ha applied lo the li. quidatinn of debts contracted for previous years. The debt of this County can only be paid, therefore by a special lax for the deficiency. Pretty hard on Snooks. [COMMUNICATED.] Editor Xctrs?The attacks of the Frtt Citizen upon me as an ofiiecr may be ac counted for in this way : It appears that the teachers employed at theClnilin Uni versity in this place, arc paid by what is known as the Philanthropic Society of New England ; and that under tho administration of former Trustees, of this School District, Mr. Webster presented claims to tho School Commissioner, and roooived pay for their services. After my induction into ofiico, I examined tho law and found that Mr. Webster hud no right to claim any pay whatever out of tho School fund of tho County. Mr. A. E. Webster presented me claims for tivo or six hundred dollars, which were handed to the present Hoard of School Trustees for this District, with instructions that they had no right to sign them, nnd if they did, that they would not bo approved by me. The law pro vides that tho tax levied by each School District, shall be spent for tho education of tho children ? rosiding therein. Hence I thought it would be a violation of the School Aot, to pay teachers at tho ClBin University, whero there are to bo found scholars from all ovor the State, and in two instances from Georgia and North Carolina. These are the facts in thu case, and it is not surprising that Mr. Webster, being cuchorcd in his little scheme, by the pre sent Hoard of Trustees, acting under in structions from tnc, should be actuated to brand mc as a dishonest official.

The recent atrocities in the South, parti cularly in Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina, show a disregard for law, civil rights and personal protection, that ought not to be tolerate ! in any civilized govern ment. It looks as if unless speedily cheek ed matters must become worse, until life and property there will receive no protec tion from the local authorities. Uutil such authority becomes powerless under buch circumstances, it is the duly of thu Govern inont to give all the aid for the protection of life and civil rights legally authorized to this end. I wish you would consult with the attorney-general, who is well informed as lo tho outrages already committed, and the localities where the greatest danger lies and so order troops as to In availing in eases of necessity. All proceedings for the protection of the South will be under the war department of the Government, and w ill b ; directed by the altoi iicy-g'-ncral, in accordance with the provisions of the en forcement act.
