We were obliged t strike out of correspondentm lette several passages which might hav been offensive to delicacy, but whie -might have been offellnsive to del 'eacy, but which truthfully describ notorious events in this preciou Governor's lito. Wo sout our cor respondent to South Carolina, i order that we might get at the fact from an unprejudiced sourco. Thb only instruct ions we gave to tbis vor respondent were to tell the truth and to spare no pains to anrrive a the truth. And, thus far, th results of hi. iniquities full justify the statements which hav -been mttade relative to the shockinq nisgoveinment (if South Carolina. M'c apprehend that there can - b fno doubt, as.9 to the facts Iaidl befor us. lit 1865-66, the expendit-iros c .the State-(ovenment were estima ted at $2611,63. Tio appropriation ,for 1873-74 aiount to $1,789,270 .au intcrecuso Of over $1,500,t00. Th, greater part of the money represcti ted by this increaso seems to 1t treated ais lawful plunder by th opficials of State. The Governor i chargod with robbery. Enormonu tracts of land have been confiscate 'fI, unpaid taxes. County Traasu .re11s and County Coamaissione rs Itniv been actiilly cullvioted of' theft. W need iot give every detail of tie stor J r e have repeatedly published in those Columns. The que1stio which we wish to COSs to the mind of our Republican friends is, is it ti -duty of the great party to which wi belong to defend and perpetuat these frauds, or to condemn and pu -an end to them I ''o this qiestion, we have receive ainswers fromn many sou rces. In larg num ber of cases, we are told, r wVre hioped a1nd expected to be tok that the0 Republicanl plrty mill i' stand by thI recklets misgovett ient of Moses and h1is gang. I, :nall number of inst ances, we i.av been wa rned to tny no inor about it Eor fear of injuriig tho Ht publicanf larty. TIhalt is to saj 'when enornmous frauds are brought t our knowl edge, we are to sutppre. the evidence ot thoem, and this couro it is thought, would "hlp th patty'.'' in the first plrce, we htav to say, in ansawer to this, that wv should decline to take the course sut gested, even if it would help th party ; in) thle second( place, that w 'da not bel ieve it would help th .fhtrty. TJhe plan was ttricd lby th D emiocra ts itt I S I-'2. 'lThe lierahl] W oild anad mny t ot her emin erati paZ'perts su ppressed the e'v idene 11 e the T~tiamany f'riand s.

What was the con .seqjueiice ? D)id the .llerald saw the D~emocrats from defeat '? No ft only discredited itself and tb party it atttemttdtt( to protect. When a newspaper joints in an elioi to cheat the public, that niewspap< ittllers as wolf ats the author of tli fraud.

A voice, hey ever', comnea to un front T1roy, sayin "you injutre your party." Oratitud is so unicommnon a virtue, that wv are htalf inclined to look with inu' geneo even on a diseased mnanifesta tion of it. In this ease, gratitud] for a foreign mission seotus to has paralyzed the judgment.
