FAIRFIEID M ALD I. MEANS 1)AVIS, Editor Wedn aday on .September 29,1876. We will vary from our customary inodvesy this morning ;to spea+k !a word for oursolves, a topic, we trust as entertaining to our readers as to us. Wo aligear this morning in-anew coat fresh' from New York the iotropolis of fashion. Thoro are 'times in 'the life of ovc- individul when he turns abon and discovers that ho is in neod of a now cont. h'io old follow ho ham worn so long, and become so attachod to, is Hihowing umitistakablo symitoms of decay. Its collar is f broenmare, its sleeves frazzled(l, and it s color departed. So with a sigh of rcgmot he bestows it oil some in telligent contrabandu, amid invosts in a now garment. A 'te'wspapcr also, is compell. ((l to replenisht ifs wairdriob)o and appear before its friends in unf,uni liar garb.' This Tum. IEJALm does to-day. But its change is only ex tornaml. It is still the Samo paper that has so long boon ant inhabitant of the 'horo. 'I'm.rt Im:ama.n plods its way along slowly, but wo( rejoice to may, noves onwar.d. 1it rsuing its mlod(est path, it las s(n mfaily amJtbitious contei ptraries fall "like loaves in wintry woalter." 'T'liat it, hams been more * itnhlat&, is due to the friendly patrotnaIge of the people of Fhtirfield, a1nd1 of tmany of her sons in distant latilm..

This coalition whe e*esful in the contest for state offices, and the NAews < Courier believes it will win in the ensuing election. The progr up % fpr ceb &1 party to nominate a certain propor tion'df thg alderliibndPhi6 ib miisionlrs free from any infitence by the other party and the conglo morato noiiation to be voted for by botlh.jartios This contains essential ly the spirit of .minority representa tion and in our opinion is an admii'a ble scheme, if it can be carried out. Tlo'ew cfi Courier states that this proportional representation is the conditioin of its support of Gun ninghan, and. that should the re publicans fail to acquiesce in this scheme it will adfocato the nomina tion of a straight out conservative tickot. We sincerely trust, however that this necessity will not arise. The system of proportional representa tion is so equitable and just that we hope to soo it adopted not only in Charleston, but in every county in the Stato. MIr. Washington Schell and Mr. Waltor Solel, the brother and the nephew of Dr. Schell, have been arrested on suspicion of the nmur derer of Joe Crows. They protest their innocence. When Adam Crows and two no groes were arrested for the murder of Scholl, on an affidavit of the no groes that they had perpetrated the murder tLhiy were reloned without the formality of a trial. This doubtless caused the people of liaurens to believe that they might ats well expert nothing from the law, and som misguided indivich ,1 took the law into his own hanIds. We do not point to the friends of Dr. Schell by this. Joe Crows had made many other enemies oqually as bitter. But this Schell matter was a test case. Had it been tried in opOn court 1hoforo a jury of twelvo mon, the verdict would have ibo respoetod ; and as thore was probably sufficient doubt; to have cleaimed Crows, he would have been living to-day just as Bowen is. But wheon the eon fossimm of tihn neeimsocl )ersos1 themselves were sot aside upon a hearing of merely an applica tion for h1abeas eonms, it might have bees expected that other enwimies of Crews would seek redress before another tribunal. It is true the ne groes made counter affidavita after wamrdsi, but these were as improbable asN an1 oriental fiction for they im p1licaited amiong other poirties the G reenvillo N~ues. as h avin g organized a consFpiracy against Crews. This wasH so absuirdly ridiculous tha~t it stamp~ed the wvholo afidavit as false. It will be0 found that the slowest way of conducting affairs is the best. It is more expensive to try anl accused puarty before a jury, but the loss of money is more t~han conimonsated by a preservation of peacen and In conclusion we suggest to the Schiolls to Imke aflidavits that they had nothing to do with this nuirder and then to apply for a release on a writ of habeas corpus. Is it not strange that some n lucky accident bofals every fiancial board upon which Gov. CIhamuber lain is placed ? We are aill acquaint ed with his misfortunesn before ho became governor. 'Since his oleva Lion to this high dignity, he has met with another pice of had luck. HIis was the casting vote which placed the deposit in Solomnon's hank. And when the bank fails lhe pleads ignorance of its condition, oxpuresses sorrow that ho was a victim of misplaced contidcee, and demands that the public excuse him. And thus far for somne reason lie has csc'aped all blame. Now if the assertions of the Treasurer be true, Gov. Chamnbierlain is as culpable as Comptroller D~unn. If an inves. igation of the condition of thme bank1 was donmanded by Cardoza heforo the deposit wvas made, it was- the( boiuden duty of the Governor te votou for this resolution, and to in stituto the most searching scrutiny Hie owed this to the people, and he owed it to himself ; for he had die coveredi in his~ past career that oe a nmistake in a public official is am offence. The only dlefence the Governo' can make is to deny the warning o the Treasurer. Hie has declarc( that lie knew nothing of. the inta i biity of the bank, and thi ;ear U 0 ore thea pe tter.

Our Plio ' State E;C-hathles are still debatin'g the luostion of organizatioli in South Carolina. 'l'lio issue has not, beerd presented sufficiently yet to decide the status of each member of the conservative Proes. Itis highly pro per at present to agtitato the ques tion of organi zation, but. our policy after organization must be deter mined by events not yet existing. The questions scorn to be: 1st. Shall there be an oi'g aniza tion of the conservatives next year ? 2d. In cvent of organization; what shall be the policy pinsued 7 In answer to the first jucstion we answer unhesitatingly, Yes. Many of the evils that have ;befallen the. State are attributable to the. want of organization on the part of the conservative taxpayers.' The politi cal outlook was so gloomy that after every defeat the conservatives tre lapsole into defiiair. They were not to be blamed for this. The hational radical party was Ho strong', Adecor' rupt and so malignant- toward ' the South: that.any effort made against it was prodostinled to fail. After vain efforts to- help them Holves the Southern conservatives seeing that Congress was all power ful, appealed to it.. But assistance thore was denied, and they once more organized an effort among themselves. That effort owing to the "tidal wave" succeeded in every State except South Carolinn, nd h'erc even it- was productive of in c dlcalable benefit. eNow the pros pet is bright. The national radi cal party, once so arrogant, is cring ing like a wi)ippei cur before out raged public sentiment. Congress has lost its absolute power for evil. The conservatives of South Carolina c'm work out their own redemption without fear of Federal interference. We believe firmldy that the last at tempt to flood a State with federal soldiers hais heen mardo. Whatever of good or ovil is in stoyro for our Slite nmst be evolved by heyself. Ini this phatse of polities, the policy of the conservatives is -orgarnization They nmst b)e able to wield their fifty thousand votos in sali: phalanx for. reform, and this can be effected only lby concerted action. A h'eady there exists a State or ganization which needs but a slight oll'ort, to organize the whole conser vative party into one uqighty engine. When the conservaitive nominating convention called by the'tax uilon met list year. it organized a party. Be fore it aujourned, it elected a con servative excutive colmnittee in every Count', as will 1)e seen by refcrencec to its minutes, for the ex press puirpo'se of perpetuating it~s organization. When the proper time arrives it will only be necessary for these committees to call precinct meetings ill thieir rhpeti~vo coun ties ; and a party wi1Jinstan ugooun-. ly arise "like Minerva, all armed." The only difficulty in the way will b)e thme alpathy of the people. Bnt if, last yens, wheni overyhiung was gloomy the consfervatives organized a powerful .party in four weeks, there need 1)0 no fear that next year, with a demnocratic congress and twenty-five, democratic States and an abandonment of bayonet legislatiown and ballot box slufling, the conservatives of South Carolina will b)0 b)uried in apathy. But while we* call for orgniztiedi we do not soe why that organization shiould be bourbon-democratic, or' should nominiate a bourbon-demo ('ratie ticket. While thorn are fine prospects of a victory for refo'rm there are none f > r. a'denocht1io victo ry in South Carolina. .Suecess cannot be achlieved without the co oper'ation of fifteen thoulsande col ored votere, and while we bolieve that number can be cas~ily obtpied for a compromise, they will not vote for a straight out domnoeratic. ticket. -That is all. . We beliove the policy to be, at, on o mis ith re o ers the er y. his ~~~y er, ur op ion 'will f ' disastrously. Of course, in case a just and eff'ected, it will be the duty of to ,1P EtJ field an unexceptionable ticket and liic~ upon 11 poe s des -ru 44fto4t . to its ipbr The recent odntrovermy, between Comptroller Dunn and Treasurer "ardoza dont ins th's sanfe Ytniotnt +of vitdbipotioli a 0 t gie iiadle of flgttrest to$ At trizo s Q. these cotroversies betweon. republi cap offloible. Out' f a# his jumble wo libtice that . fie treasuer igak e out an aplparent pi'im.a facie ca se against the bank of which Mr. Dunn is re ceivor and champion. It would appegr rom his showing that the bank paid its stockholders up with deposits and has drawn upon these deposits to settle its profIt and loss account'angl also to pay up about $80,000 of liabilities: This would 'h fraud on the part of the bank. What. chiefly perplexes Mr.. Cars doza, and we may . add, the. public generally, is what has become tof the $200,000 deposited by. the State and not draw' upon. , It must have been applied to the- payment of other claims. What these claims were is the, point in doubt. Mr. Dunn refuses'thus far to make a statement of-the .transactions of the bank be tween January and June. . T1pasurer Cardoza . avers that at a meeting of the financial board some'weeks ago he offered a resolu tion to investigate the - condition of the batik and the cause - of its fail ure. He also avers that Mr. Dunn introduced - a resolution postponig till some future day, even the mere consideration of the question whether such investigation should be made. All. this plnaces Mr. Dunn and the bank in an unfavorable light, and the public. are anxiously awaiting a development of their dofence. It is needless for Mr. DTnn to reply by rnerely accusing Cardoza of im proper conduct. While the charges against Cardbsa may be true, this has nothing to do - with the inno cenae or guilt of the bank officials and the receiver. ,i. Mr. Dunn must make a better showing than this. Let him explain how the money went. At present the treasurer s- e-ns to be on the heaviet~ side of the seale. HIYMENEAL.
