E. B. MURRAY, Editor. THURSDAY M0RNIN6, NOV. 8, 1877. LATEST BT TELEGRAPH. THE STATES SPEAK. The Democrats Hold Their Own, and Car? ry PeniLsylvanJ ? i. VICTORY EN0U6H FOR ONE DAY! Special Dispatch to ike Anderson Intelligencer. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 7?6 p. m. The New York JBeroM's estimate is that the Democrats have carried that State by fifteen thousand majority, and that the Legislature will probably be Republican, by a close vote. General McClellan has been elected Governor of New Jersey by about thir? teen thousand majority. Tha Legislature is also Democratic, Pennsylvania has been carried by the Democrats by from ten to twenty thou? sand majority. Virginia elects the entire Democratic ticket without opposition. Republicans retain control of the Con? necticut Legislature, adding several to their majority. Massachusetts went Republican. Gov. Rice, Republican, was re-elected Gov? ernor by a plurality of thirteen thousand. Gas ton, Democrat, ran behind his ticket even in Boston, where he was 3onsidered strongest. Partial returns from Wisconsin indi? cate the election of Smith, Republican, for Governor by an increase over the Re? publican majority of last year. Maryland and Mississippi went Demo? cratic. Minnesota and Kansas Republi? can. The elections in New York, Connecti? cut and Wisconsin do not affeci; United States Sen atorships except so fa r as hold - . ing over Senators may control, it A majority in both Houses is important iu this respect as re-?!islricting of t&e States may have important bearing lower Houses to be chosen next year. The above summary gives the latest news received this afternoon. J. A. HOYT. -.? ?-?1 THE TRIAL OF CARDOSO. '." The case of ex-State Treasurer Fran L. Cardozo was selected as the first in .diciment against the ex-State officers for trial, and it began on last Thursday. Messrs. Connor, Abney, Miles and Le \ Cont represented the State, and General S. W. Melton appeared for the defense. A jury of eight colored and four white men was empannelled, and Woodruff,' Jones, S. J. Lee, Senator Cochran and others were offered as. witnesses for the State, and the defendant testified in his own behalf. The proof was enough to convict upon several points, but it was shown beyond the shadow of a doubt that Cardozo, Gleaves, Woodruff, JoDes and ' Lee. conspired and issued a fraudulent ? certificate- for $4,000 iu the fictitious .name of C. L. Frankfort, which vras di? vided between them, giving each $800. Cardozo could not, however, explain the -payment of this claim, and on Tuesday last the argument, which was able and exhaustive on both sides, was concluded, and Judge Townsend delivered a fair and impartial charge to the jury, and diracted ? them to retire and make up their verdict, which they did as indicated in th'> fol? lowing dispatch, which explains itself: Special Dispatch to the Anderson InteUigencer. Columbia, S. C, Nov. 7,18V7. The jury rendered a verdict of gliiity in the case of the State vs. ex-Treasurer F. L. Cardozo this morning. James A. Hoyt. The defts2Qant appealed in this case, but it will- not be likely taaccomplish more than a short delay. The day of retribution for him and: his confederates has at last arrived. The "dark horse" has won again. While the country was going wild with speculations over the probabilities for the English Mission, and every available per? son from Cameron to Grant was surmised, the President very quietly and to the profound astonishment of all, nominated Congressman Walsh,' from Pennsylvania. This is a surprise to the country as he has never figured among the more prom nent men of the nation, nor is he even a leader in Congress. His fitness- for the position has been discussed very little, and therefore we presume the country feels relieved that a worse nominatic u was. not sent in. Mr. Walsh can scarce? ly be. expected to be the equal of the ex? perienced diplomats who represented our nation at the Court of St. James for so many years, but we may rest assured that he will not bring any greater reproach npon us than Sehenck or Pierrepont have ' done. The nomination is an improve? ment upon these representatives. Poor Lewis Gass Carpenter! Bank? rupt in character, bankrupt in money and bankrupt in friends, he has run his coarse, and now finds the prison cell] ready to claim its own, and welcome the j culprit who is condemned by all parties; ] ' Realizing his forlorn situation he sought ] safety in flight, but has been picked up j in Morristown, N. J., under the assumed ; name of L. Cass Cupert. He had shaved .and altered his appearance, but the old j countenance so familiar here, betrayed him, and the result is that Columbia jail now holds him. He is charged with rais? ing checks on. the Treasury of South Car? olina, and when he gets through in the State Courts (which will not be very soon) the United States will pay its re? spects to him for the same offence and for. defaulting in the sum of three thou? sand dollars as Revenue Collector. He will probably spend the remainder of his days in prison. The Rev. Cadetship Seller, B. F. Whittemore, has the fear of the law be? fore his eyes, and therefore takes great delight in the enjoyment of a coid cli? mate, which is best suited to the necessi? ties of an ex-South Carolina' public rob? ber at this time, and therefore he has concluded to forego the pleasures of win? tering at bis magnificent residence in Massachusetts, and is sojourning in Can? ada, where the extreme cold is expected to soothe his fears and divert his atten? tion from South Carolina matters or per? haps we might more accurately express the siiaatiou by saying that he hopes to divert the attention, of South Carolina law officers from him and to keep his whereabouts unknown, DEATH OF SENATOR HORTON. Senator Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana, died at his home in Indianapolis on Thursday t> vening, the first of November, after a long and tedious illness from paralysis. He was at the time of his death fifty-four years of age, having been bora in 1828. He graduated at Miami University, and entering the practice of law, was elected a Judge in his twenty ninth year. In 1860 he was elected Lieutenant Governor and became Gov? ernor soon after by the election of Gov? ernor Lane to the Senate. In this posi . tion he won a high reputation for energy and ability, so that in 1864 he was elected Governor. In 1865 he was stricken with paralysis and ever afterwards was com? pelled to go on crutches, and often to br> carried from place to place. In 1867 he was elected to the United States Senate, and in 1878 was re-elected to the position which he occupied at the time of his death. Senator Morton was a man of very fine abilities, but seemed to have no higher ambition than self-aggrandizement without reference to the dictates of pa? triotism or statesmanship. There was scarcely any side of any question that he did not at some time, when his political fortunes could be advanced thereby, espouse. He played the political vane throughout his life, and did not hesitate to employ all his energies and power to accomplish his schemes. In dollars and - cents he was rigidly honest, but in every? thing else he seemed to crave only suc? cess, and worshipped with ceaseless devo? tion at the shrine of bis personal ambi? tion. He could play the warm advocate or the inveterate enemy as best suited his purpose, and did not scruple to play either or both of these roles whenever oc? casion presented itself. His sole effort was to lead public opinion, but not to form it, and therefore the good which he did for his country was very little, while the evil he wrought was correspondingly great. During the latter years of bis life he was the fierce enemy of the South, and lost no opportunity to fire t he North? ern heart against our people. He was the compeer of any man that ever lived in venom and malignity of speech against our people, and framed or assisted in framing all of the most objectionable measures of reconstruction, and yet when he perceived the change in public opin? ion as expressed last year, he was prompt in deciding to change with it, and was among the first to approve the President's Southern policy, and had his life been spared would doubtless have been as zealous in bis efforts to lead the Repub? lican party in its new policy as he was to keep aloft the standard of the bloody shirt which has at last caused its over? throw. But he has gone and leaves be? hind him no relic of statesmanship?no work of patriotism. He leaves to his country no higher claim to remembrance than that he fomented all of her discords, and that he even played the partisan for his own advancement regardless of every one else. Contrary to expectation, ex-District Attorney D. T. Corbin has returned from j Europe, and is in Washington looking I after what he is pleased to term his Sen? atorial seat. His pretensions can hardly amount to much more than causing the election of Gen. Butler to be sent back to the Legislature of this State, as Corbin was not elected by any Legislature, but by a mob usurping by force the hall of the legal House of Representatives, and arrogating without any foundation its prerogatives. It never had a quorum, even of Returning Board members, and every Court in South Carolina has deci? ded against its clai ms. It has disbanded, and makes no pretensions to even an ex? istence. In history it ranks as a first class political farce. No Republican who has any self-respect can vote to sus? tain the action of such a body of self constituted, adventurous usurpers as the so-called Mackey House has long since been proven, and therefore the most that can be done in the South Carolina case by the Senate will be to declare that there has been no election in this State, and therefore send it back for a new elec? tion, which would amount to only a post? ponement of General Butler's admission, for he would be promptly re-elected as soon as such a decision was reached. This decision, however, would be ungene? rous on the part of the Senate, for it would deprive a State of representation in the Senate when it is notoriously a fact that the legal Legislature did elect, and that if the election is sent back the same Senator elect will be again chosen, beyond the shadow of a doubt. If this seat is declared vacant, which we fear will be the result of the contest, it will be done solely for the purpose of keeping out a Democrat, and thereby holding on to the Senate a short time longer for the Republicans. It will be trifling with a State and denying it rights, which would not for one moment be withheld from New York or Ohio. - The Senate oannot consistently do this, but in its present State of parties it is a death struggle with the Republicans, and they have no higher ambition it seems than to try to hold on as long as possible to the control of the Senate. State by State has fallen from their grasp, ar. the day of their overthrow is now clearly in view. They may insult and wrong Louisiana and South Carolina as much as possible, but they will surely be driven from power, and that too by Northe* : aud Western States, which they dare not trample upon. Until that day, if necessary, we can afford to wait patiently, and submit to whatever action may be taken in re? gard to our representation in Congress. The death of Senator Morton takes one more from the roll of Republican Sena? tors, and adds one to the Democratic col? umn, for by the laws of Indiana the Gov? ernor of that State has the right to ap? point a Senator for that State during the unexpired term. Blue Jeans Williams, it is said contemplates giving the appoint? ment to Hon. Daniel Voorhees, or to ex-Senator Holman, Either of these gentlemen would make an able Senator, but we hope the former will be the ap? pointee as be is a gentleman of the highest ability and withal a statesman of high order. Ex-Go v. Hendricks has al?o been mentioned, but it is not probable that he would accept the position if tendered, as he would not be willing to serve in the Senate as a member under Vice-President Wheeler when he was elected Vice-Pres Went by the people last fall, and is to-day the dsjure Vice-President of the United States, ATTACK UPON JUDGE NORTHROP. Ever since the nomination of Hon. L. C. Northrop for- the position of United States District Attorney for South Caro? lina, the disappointed seekers for the office have been pouring out the venom of their souls upon him, and have not scrupled to resort to the most palpable and barefaced falsehoods, misrepresenta? tion and slander of the man who was for? tunate enough to secure the nomination over them. As a sample of the grounds upon which this attack is made, we quote the following: Special Dispatch to the New York Times. Washington, Oct. 23.?On the return of President Hayes from his Southern trip, and at the suggestion, it is stated, of Gen. Hampton, Judge L. C. Northrop was appointed United States District At? torney for South Carolina, in place of District Attorney Stone, who had resign? ed. Mr. Stone is the District Attorney whose report on the Hamburg massacre was so fiercely denounced by Gen. M. C. Butler. The Senate committee (Mr. Angus Cameron, Chairman,) who inves? tigated last December the election of 1876 in South Carolina, obtained testimony that corroborated each and every state? ment of Mr. Stone's report. But there is no doubt that, for telling the truth about Hamburg, District Attorney Stone had rendered himself especially obnoxious to the leaders of the South Carolina Democ? racy. Judge Northrop is a "native," and was recommended to President Hayes as an honest Republican. The truth is, that he is one of the most conspicuous repre? sentatives of that element in the Repub? lican party which Gov. Chamberlain was so enthusiastically eulogized, before the Hamburg massacre, for opposing and de? nouncing, both officially and personally. It was the faction which brought dis? grace on the party in that State. The culmination of the wrongs done by this dishonest Republican faction was the nomination of Moses and Whipper as Judges. Gov. Chamberlain resisted their nomination, and stretched his Ex? ecutive prerogatives to the utmost to pre? vent their inauguration. This is the mildest statement that can be made of his action. It might be said, without violating the truth, that he exceeded his lawful authority in doing so. Rut there was no other remedy for an outrage so great. The Governor succeeded. Every Democratic paper and leader in the State was loud in his praise. The leaders of the bad element in the Republican party were equally fierce in denouncing him. Now, it has become known that Judge Northrop was in the caucus that nomi? nated Moses and Whipper, and not only worked for them, but advocated their election in a speech I During the Bine Clubs' campaign Judge Northrop took great care not to offend the Democratic leaders. Since his nomination he has shown his gratitude to President Hayes by praising the people of his native coun? ty, Anderson, in South Carolina, for hav? ing been the first in war against the Union, and last in peace! The Ander? son Intelligencer of Sept. 20 says: "He knew the history of this county, and would never forget the zeal with which her citizens enlisted beneath the Bed Cross Banner of the lost cause, under whose folds he had stood for several years, and he would likewise never forget thai Anderson County was the last in South Carolina to be over? come by Federal bayonets. The Judge then complimented our people upon their patriotic and prudent course since the surrender, and, without direct reference to politics, congratulated us in common with the whole people of our State upon the great Governmental reform which we now enjoy as a nation and as a State. He urged our people to continue in their strides toward a higher and more general civilization, and expressed the belief that an era of unprecedented prosperity and material advancement was in store for us." It is not surprising that Gen. Wade Hampton* should recommend this man, but it will be a surprise if a Republican Senate should confirm his nomination. This article, which has been very gen? erally copied by the Republican papers hostile to Judge Northrop and to Presi? dent Hayes' administration, is a fit sam? ple of the attacks which are made upon the nomination of Judge Northrop. To prove that this article was written by some one, totally ignorant of the matter about which he was writing, or that he was totally reckless of the truth, it is only necessary to analyze two of the as? sertions contained in it: First. The charge that Judge Northrop has been one of the corrupt Republicans of the State is for the first time made public, and with it the cbarge that he supported the election of Moses and Whipper, against whom Mr. Chamber? lain is represented as making such a he? roic fight. Of course Judge Northrop denies these statements, and has strong circumstantial proof of their falsity, for he was the administration or Chamber? lain candidate for Judge at the time Judge Shaw was elected, and was again the Chamberlain candidate at the last judicial election, at which time he was chosen by a handsome majority for the Seventh Circuit. Some weeks after the election Judge Montgomery Moses was impeached, and Governor Chamberlain appointed Judge Northrop to fill his un expired term, thus showing that he was friendly to him, and completely negativ? ing the charge that he was connected with the Moses and Whipper election. So much to begin with. Second. The reference to Judge Nor throp's speech at Anderson is a great per? version of his real remarks. The report made by us of that speech was written out the day after it was delivered from memory alone, and did not pretend to be more than a condensed synopsis of his remarks, which occupied some fifteen or twenty minutes in their delivery. So far from being unpatriotic, they were de? cidedly the opposite. It is true he com? plimented the people of Anderson upon the brave devotion to their State as evinced in the war, but his highest com? pliments were upon the course our people pursued in accepting the result of the war, and rendering obedience to the laws of the general government which freed us of the troubles from which other coun? ties suffered. He spoke quite eloquently of the greatness of the American Union and of its glorious future, and paid the highest tribute to the wisdom, sagacity and patriotism displayed by the present administration in the conduct of the affairs of our nation, The writer of this article was also mistaken in asserting that this was Judge Northrop's native County. He is a na? tive of Charleston, and has never lived here. We have written the above in justice to the facts of the case, as the article which was the text of the attaok was taken from this paper. Personally we like Judge Northrop, though we differ from him entirely in politics. We be? lieve, however, that his appointment ig one of the wisest steps taken by Presi? dent Hayes, and that it meets the ap? proval of all parties in South Carolina, except those who wished to obtain the office for themselves or some particular friend. Whether the Senate will con? firm him or not remains: to be seen, bat we presume it will certainly do so, unless some stronger and more substantial ob jection than any of the foregoing can be rendered. I Correspondence of Anderson IntelUgencer. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 26,1877. I The absence of President Boyce, who is now attending the General Associa? tion of Tennessee, affords the opportunity I for writing a short article for your ex? cellent paper. It is difficult for me to determine what will be interesting to your readers. There are so many things about which I could write. President Hayes has come and gone; Gov. Hamp? ton is home again, and the Grand Expo? sition of Louisville, which attracted such large crowds to the city, has just closed. Any one of these might afford a theme for half a dozen letters or more. I . Although it has been several weeks since Gov. Hampton was in Louisville, I feel that I cannot desist from saying something about it. He arrived here on Saturday morning the 15th ult. As soon as it was known that he was in the city, the hotel was crowded with persons who were trying to see him. At night the writer and several South Carolinians re? paired to the Louisville Hotel, where he was stopping, and found the reception room and passages crowded with persons, whose chief desire seemed to be to get a glimpse of South Carolina's noble chief? tain. The Governor was standing at the head of the stairs, where he was receiv? ing and shaking bands with all who de? sired. At 10 o'clock he was serenaded, and in response made one of his charac? teristic speeches. All honor was given to President Hayes; but I am proud to say that Gov. Hampton was received by the people of Kentucky with much more enthusiasm. I This was clearly shown, two days after, when speeches were made by the Presi? dent and other distinguished members of the Cabinet. When Wade Hampton waa presented the shouts were longer and louder than they had been for any one else. He stood for some moments, un I able to say a word, while the noble sons I of Kentucky gave vent to their feelings. j The city is weli laid out, with wide streets crossing each other at right angles. The Ohio river winds around the North? ern edge of it, about two squares from the Elliott House, in which the students of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem? inary are domiciled. j Steamboats are passing up and down the river daily. Louisville has about 150,000 inhabitants. For the first several days after my arrival here, I thought the city very disagreeable and dirty, but a walk down Fourth Avenue to Broadway convinced me that I was mistaken. There are many handsome private resi? dences in the city, as well as some very neat public buildings. If my letter does not find its way into your waste basket, at some other time I will give you abrief account of the Public Library of Ken? tucky, the Museum, and Medical Col? leges, of the latter there are three. Sev? eral eminent physicians have offered to practice for us free of charge, of this number one is a dintinguished Professor in the Louisville Medical College. GEO. W. GARDNER. HAMPTON AT DARLINGTON. \ The following is.an outline of the Gov? ernor's speech at the Darlington County Fair last week: i Ladies and my Fellow- Citizens of Dar \lington?I would be wanting in proper feeling did I fail to appreciate the warmth of your greeting to-day. A little more than a year ago I came among you to plead for a cause dearer to my heart than life?the cause of South Carolina. It I was not for myself. I did not represent any party. It was only my good fortune I to be chosen as your standard-bearer, and I have never yet gone into a fight that I did not expect to win. We knew that I for years the State had been plundered by those strangers to her soil who, by the help of the army, had gained possession of her offices of trust and power, and the people rose as one man, and by the peace? ful agency of the ballot drove them out, and to-day we can say with pride that Carolina is once more governed by Caro? linians. I But, my friends, you must not expect too much. The misrule of ten years cannot be done away with in a day. Some are now saying that the taxes are too high. You must remember that we have the honor of the State in our hands, and her just debts must be paid. We mean to put the credit of the State where it was before the war. The building up of her waste places must be the duty of every citizen on her soil. My advice to you is to let politics alone We have no great national elections on hand now, and we must devote every energy to the pros? perity of the State. When I spoke to you during the canvass last year I said that every citizen of the State, no matter whether born on her soil or not, no mat? ter, of what race, was entitled to all the protection of her laws, and that if I was elected Governor they should have that protection. Since the establishment of the present State Government they have had that protection, and are now in the enjoyment of every right and privilege secured :o them by the Constitution and laws. I want the colored people to be? come land-owners, for then they will be? come conservative. I want to see the people of both races living in peace to? gether, and on friendly terms with each other. If one is in prosperity the other will be also, and neither can go down without dragging the other with it. These have been my sentiments ever since the war. In 1868 I canvassed the State in behalf of candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and if you remember I then said exactly what Lam saying now. I have always believed that if we would put forward men of our own State and make the issue against misrule we would win. At last our people, driven almost to madness, rose up and said that the State was ours, and that we would have it. And not alone to the men of South Car? olina is due the great work, as nobly as they endured the terrible trial; but to our women, who, by their prayers and example, encouraged the faint-hearted, and frowned upon him who would be traitor to so sacred a cause. And now to-day, as I stand here, the representa? tive of the people of South Carolina, I thank them in the name of the State. (Just then a rose, thrown by a young lady in front of the stand, was caught by the Governor, who bowed his acknowl? edgments.) My friends, we have gained a great victory, but there is much still for us to do, We have our waste places to rebuild, and we have the terrible ex? perience of the last sixteen years to warn us. We who are now here may not see it, but our children's children will reap the benefit of all that we now do to make the people of our dear old State once more prosperous and happy. The Governor here retired, amid a shower of bouquets and rounds of ap? plause from all present. Carry the news of Cardozo's conviction to John J. Patterson. It will no doubt console him greatly to know that it may be possible for him to have some digni? fied ex-officers of South Carolina to keep him company in the penitentiary. The Grand Jury of Eichland County has just found another true bill against him for bribery and corruption in obtaining his election to the Senate. Will that body allow him to sit as a member of it with? out investigating the charges against him? If so, its morality and dignity muBt be judged by the company it choos? es to keep.
