The whole subject inis conic up in the views again this week, in conse quence of the receipt by that paper of a letter from a “near friend of C’o‘. William Elliott,” in which the writer claims and proves that the charges pre ferred by tne News are simply “not true.” The letter is published to-day in the News and Courier and shows: (1.) That, there were no contests he fore any county boards, except in Berkely and Beaufort. (2.) That the resuitof all thecontests, on bothsidss, from Berkeley and Beau fort, was the throwing out of only two polls, ami neither of them on tne grounds of neglect of Democratic olli- cials (3.) That at one of these polling places no provision of law had been made for registration, and consequent ly an election could not be held iliere. (4.) That the vote at the other of these two polling places was thrown out “because of intimidation of color ed Democratic voters, bribery of voters and interruption of the voting by violence,” the protest against* the election being made by coiered voters. (5.) That the only other matter that came up before the State board was one box from Orangeburg, in regard to which no action had been taken by Smalls before the county board, and consequently, there was no appeal to the State hoard. Finally, that if Smalls were allowed the Orangeburg box and all others which he claims to have been thrown out anywhere for any cause, excepting the two above described, Col. Elliott would still have a majority. H~ I Hytlu 1 light of these plain and in- ,e controvertible facts—facts which the will time: MAIN I.IXr:—WE.4TWAHD DAILY.

News could have ascertained as well as its correspondent, and which it certainly should have sought at least, to learn before charging the Democrat ic election officials with having com mitted a “plain, deliberate and“wan- ton fraud”—it is interesting to know what was the basis of f,he injurious and sweeping charges which it made so hastily, so boldly and so emphati cally. The News explains its course lor itself as follows: “ What we have said on the subject was 'inspired by the belief that there was sham practice and violation of rights in the Black District, for which there was no necessity or excuse’ and that the Democratic party of the State and county ouj-h; not to Vie made responsible for it. * This is enough* The News has shown that it. understands clearly the characterof the issue which has been raised by the publication of the facts, in answer to its ill-considered and unfounded assertions; and it has stated that issue very plainly in its own words. What the News does not understand, apparently, is the unenviable position in which it lias placed itself.
