Tie (nliumbia Union in Coianent
ing upon Dr. Winkler's letter, in re
&rird to crimo in South Carolina, says:
"Tlhe ri ason why crime is not punibh
ed is to be acco'uted for by the fact
that nearly every Sheriff in the State
is an active Democrat and nearly all
the civil flieers are in sympathy with
that party."
Pleasc M r. Jnion giv6 ts the tranes
of the I)cemratic Sheriffs In thit

to le elected with "Thirty Thousand
Republican Majority" against them.
The tunre artiale says that -a prison
er was pardoned a fewv weeks since.
wt ho was found guilty of stealing his
own property, by a Democratic jury,
and that a Democratio judge sent him
to the penitentiary.
Please, ir. Union, give us the
name of the Deinocratio judge and
jury. If their is a I)emnocratie judge
on the Deich of South Carolina we
would like to see what lie looks like.
I'he Crowinhg Act of Inufiamy.
It is conceded by every honest inan
that th, bill recently pas!.ed thro' the
lower branch of the Legislature, l,
galizing the bond frando, is the miost
iifaious an ci d dialaical act of legisl a
tion that has yet been inflicted lkion
this State by public thieves and plun
deiers, styling themselves legislators.
It is openly assertd and utlieved
that a large amount of money was
used by the Financial Board to secure
the passage of this bill, nd crtain I
circumnstanoes, that we will re call, goI
to show that improper influene of'
some kind was exerted over a mnajority
of the nmembere. It will be renmem
bered that early ini the present ses
sicsn a committee, with Ilowyen as its
chiairmian, reported an over -issue o
bonds to the extent of upwar da of six
millions of dollars, and eomimended
that prooedings he instituted against
the pat ties responsible therefor. This
report was concurt-od 'in by nearly a
hvo thaird/s mnajority of thle Ilouse.
This is a matter of record. Nowv in
the face of this, a bill is introdnteedl
and pa.ssed v'al idati ng and legalizing
Lthis over-issure, and throwing around
the Financial Bloard immunity from
prosecution and punnishment. If that
Board committed no fraud, why the
necessity for legalizing their acts?
It is a pelain admisin that bond~s
were issued without authority of law
and through fraudulent insti-utihen
talities.
The perpetrators of those frauds
ought now to he in the Penitentiary,
and if justice was properly' meted out,
they would be there. Instead, how
ever, we witness the sight, unparat
lelled in modern times, of law-makers
sh ield ing htumn just punishment the
violators of the laws they themselves
Ienacted.
For coldebloodled villainy, we can
conoceive of nothitig of a public
character that conuld possibly approxi
tnato to this act. tOf all our griev
ances, it is the hardest to bear, and in

eortainly benefit the laboring man
more than any other individual, ad

the full exposition of wYhioh was laid
