WWNUORO. K. RAN bAYIS, Editor. WRDRED131 11411N, AUGUST 1, 1871 the -e* Oohgresional bistriot. This1i4iei is eomposed 'of the bounties of Greenville, Spartanburg, Union, York, Cbster, Fairfield, Kershai and Lancaster. By the conius of 1870, it contained .83 Whites and 78,720 blacks. Upon an stimte of one voter to five inhabitants, the colored majority is about100. This imakes the ques tion of an election doubtful, and well worth a decided struggi . It Is high time some one was being brought out agiinet Wallaoe, so that Torthe Irst time in years an active vauvasevan be had, The Vountles of.Greenvilio, Spar.. tanburg, and Lanoaster are conserva tive.

The sabre end rifle oluba that are organ1inglthrough the Stato are so elal -organIsitions, to bring the peoplo together and 'to afford opportunities for pleasant gdtberlngs. They have been-falsely styled ku klux olubs by ihe radioal. They are not formed ter the purpove of wAging war. The people have had enough of fighting - and the ku klux experiment makes theda exceedingly careful about got. ting Into the hands of the United BStates. 'government. If any distur banoe arises in this State it will be brought about by the radicals. So ,tong thon, as they are pesefully in !oliaed, they need fear nothing. The two races are in South Carolina, and 'hey have to live hero peacefully, to: 'gether in spite of the appeAls of tedioal. demagogues to the colored ,people to protect their rights with the cartridge box, and in spite of the throats of the so-called bourbon do. Inooracy, to Inaugurate a war of races This is not the time to stir up the vile passions of men. The State is on the brink of ruin, and it behooves every honest patriot to lay aside pre judices and pa*ty differences and to effect a peacefu? reformi. These clubs have nothing more to do with polities than the New York Seventh, or any o6her ersek Northern regiment. The whites are merely .taking advantago of the first opportunity allowed thoem since reconstruction, of reorganizing the old military companies that a!. $orded social advantages before the war, Law in Chester. ' Trhat justice practically sleeps in 'C1hater is shown by the following Oifastance. Soma time since a ,young man was arrested on a chargo pf assault and battory, an,d carried gefore Jittleton D~aniel the sable B.hadamanthus of Blackstook. Hie was found guilty and sentenoed to a fine or imprisonment. H1e rofusod to pay the Isns, and was then ordered go proceed to the Chester jail but pafnsed to go volantarily. This re faual perplexed the S.oond Daniel wh~o had come to jndgmnent, for the ~trea.ury of Chester is empty, and .BherffYoemmb refuses to receive *ay prisoners unless the money te detray their board is sent with them., It is sid an endeavor was macc among the faithful to raise the mnon, ,ey by subscription but this failed signally. The wheels of justice wer< clogged, and the prisoner quietly be took himself home, the master of the situation. Another party was senteneed to jail for selling whiskey without a license. Hie was taken to Chester, was refused admittance into the jail, and quietly returned to his store, where for aught we know, ho may be selling whiskey yet. The C.heste: jail is empty, the prisoners having 'been transferred to York County, This is a dreadful condition of affaire, -and yet the Union-Ilerald denies that .'Oourta are run on credit." .In this case they are not run at all. Th8e te flbaues. -, The Uoion-Hlerald accuses us (o1 being either asleep or wilfully blind because we charged that in spite o' the ruinous taxation, the State erodli Ib dead, the charitabl insti..i.: ed, an'd the iourtere'run on>,redii. We havo this to saf in tihb first Plamce We mako-a point of. endeaW voring to commend whatever is good in 1ho radical party, and only to cen sure its misdeeds, We re 'nOtuated' by no "captious hostility." Our oppo sition to the ring arises from the fact, that although it may do a few just aote, its decdo taken at a % hole or a mass of corruptibo. 'h o Union Herald assumes that our editorial was directed solely against Cardb. Tlh' is an error.. Wo wish to hold 'the treasurer nocountablo only for that for which he is responsible. The Union-florald having assorted that there is sufli!ieo, noioy in the treasury to run tho government und that everythiu is prosperous, we will make a few remarks in reply: Dr. Husor writes us that $50,000 from the $65,000 appropriated for tho Lunatio Asylum have been re oeived, and "tbat the institution is not laboring under any financial om barraspmnont at this time." We have confidoncoe in Dr. Emsor, as one of the few honorable and up right officials in the State, and therefore commend Cardoza for this performance of his duty. But Dr. Ensor saye, "A lIr4e lortion of last year's debt is still hanging over us, but that cannot be pAid till an ap propriation is mado for thit purposo.' This defciency occurred during Car. doz.0t temiro of office. We all re. member the disgraceful oondition of the asylum when l)r. Emsor pledged his privato proporty to save the pa. tients from starving. If the chari table institutions are not lauguishing, the oharituble morohants who 1main. tained the institution on credit are languishiny or hanlAupt, nd jor this, Cardoza is responsi.bl. The Unin tiarald claims that the schools, cxeopt in a fo%v defaulting Counties, were closed only becauo the term had closed. Wo have the authority of Judge Maickey that grass is growing on tie at. ps of al most every school house in the tate. The dofaluation of a County treasurer has nothing to do, under the law, with the school fund of his County more than that of any other County. Fairfield was entitled to $6,651 this year, and only $5,543 wore sent up. And yet the treasurer's report shows that no school mooney is left. The treasurer claims that only $270,000 were colloted for schools when there should have been $33.1,. 000. Will Io explain why the re tuainiug $64,000 woro not collected ? Twenty por ecut is an enormous pro p3rtion to lose. In 1873 Cardoza sent I. A. Smith $2,500 to pay upon claiems of 1872, and afterwards deducted it from the quota for 1873, thus practically d.i frauding the holders of certifientes of that year of $2,500. Laist year, if the statement published bo true, Cardoza sent to Gireenvillo County $15,000 for schools, about the tin e that Allen absconded. Tlhis was about as much mocre th un U reouvillo was entitled to, as the amount sent to Fairfield was less. This was partial, Mr. Treasurer. But the subject stretches. We will have to postpone a further consideration to another time. Chamberlain. This radical worthy divides with Moses the good will of the radical party in his aspirations to become Governor of this Stato. The contest seems to be narrowing down betwveen them. Ramdicaul reform, therefore, is exemplified in these charcters. Moses is confessedly the most notori ous villain in the world. Chamber. lain, being mtore able, more crafty and of better moral character, has suoceeded heretofore in partially cloaking his misdeeds, or shifting them upon tihe shoulders of others. llis connect iou in the various swindles which have reduced the State to beg. gary is, however, being cloa mrly p-oven in a series of able editorials in the News and Courier. h-is intimate connection with the land commission, the sinking fund comitimision anid the financial board, three umamnmoth vohi. os of robbery', is fully m.hown. Chamberlain cannot (Ieny the vil lainy p)ractisod by these several boards, but makes as feeble effort in the Union-llora'.d (whose editorials smack of Chamberlain's st3ylo), to shirk responsibility by muaintaining that though the board, as a whole, have done monstrously, yet an indi vidual muezmbor miust not be held guilty unless it be actually proven that be voted for the obnoxiousmenas. ure.

Chtunborlain's vio- a tory will be tOe victory of the 'bond e holders, and the ruin of the honest , people of the State. This is why we e solemnly protest against his election. U Viewed solely as n.en, Chamberlain t is greatly superior to Moses. But loadcd as lie is with publio swindles, u and representing millions of claims, a now worthless, but which will be o again saddled on us by him, he can P not afford to lower taxes below ti-e figure at which Voses' adininistration c places them.

E'ditor: At the close of the war, It was well known that among the liting assette of the State Treasury, vertuin available or reliable funds were (or at least bhould have been) held sav cred for the uso and ben,fit of the Stato in liquidation of its honest debts. From a recent report, fully en dorsed by pub*io rumor, Und for the exposition of what we may be per, mitted, to say, at last, thAt, Ie are indebted to the "Tax Paycis Con. vention," held in Colubia in Pebt. ruary last, there las been bi ought to light a sys:en of fraud and arti fice, which in all its bearing, would seem to indicate, a deliberate inten. tion of gaining an unlawful advantage over the rights of the people at large, and which really seems to be more or loss tainted with these character. istio vices that belong exclusively t the Radical party. In a careful report of the whole matter, it is clearly ovident that a riny or ombipi n.tion has been engaged in manipu lating.the funds which properly be. long to the State for private and in.. dividual interest, to the amount of some A'ight Htsndred Thoumued Dol. lars, nearly every dollar of which has been Lquandered if not entirely lost to the Taxpayers of South Cato lina.
