VICTORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY I Special Dispatch to the Anderson Intelligencer. COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. 7-6 p. m. The Now York Iferaid'? estimate is that the Democrat? have carried that State by fifteen thousand majority, and that the Legislature will probably be Republican by a close vote. General McClellan baa been elected Governor of New Jersey by about thir teen thousand majority. The 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 wout Republican. Gov. Rice, Rcpuuiicuu, was re-elected Gov ernor by a plurality of thirteen thousand. Gaston, Democrat, ran behind his ticket even in Boston, where he was considered 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 affect United States Senatorshipa except so far as hold ing over Senators may control it. A majority in both Houses is important in this respect as re-districting of tho States may havo important bearing on lower Housoa to bo chosen next ye?r. The above summary gives tho latest news received this afternoon. J. A. HOYT. -- THE TRIAL OF CARDOZO. <TL3 ?25e /jf er-Hists Treasurer Francis L. Cardozo was selected os the first in dictment against the cx-Stato officers for trial, and it began on last Thursday. Messrs. Connor, Abney, Milos and Le Cont represented the State, and General S. W. Melton appeared for tho defense. A jury of eight colored and four whito mon was empanadle], and Woodruff, Jones, S. J. Leo, Senator Cochran and others wore offered as witnesses for the State, and tho defendant testified in his own behalf. Tho proof was enough to convict upon sevorul points, but it was shown beyond tho shadow of a doubt that Cardozo, Gleavt-o, Woodruff, Jones and Leo coniintr?d and issued a fraudulent certificate for $4,000 in the fictitious name of C. L. Frankfort, which was di vided between them, giving each $800. Cardozo could not, however, explain tho payment of this claim, and on Tuesday last the argument, which was able and exhaustive on both sides, was concluded, aud Judge Townsend delivored a fair and impartial charge to tho jury, and directed them to retire and mako up their verdict, which they didos indicated in thc* fol lowing dispatch, which explains itself : Speciid DirpaicS to the Anderson Intelligencer. COLUMBI A., S. C., NOV. 7,1877. . The jury rendered a verdict of guilty in tho case of tho State va. ex-Tiearurcr F. L. CardoiKi thia ruining. JAMES A. HOYT. Tho dofondant appealed in this case, but it will not bo likely to accomplish more thou a ?hort delay. Tho day of retribution for him and his confederates has nt last arrived. Tho "dark horse" has won again. While tho country waa going wild with speculations over the probabilities for the English Mission, and every available per son from Cameron to Grant was surmised, tho President very quietly and to the profound astonishment of all, nominate*! Congressman Walsh, from Pennsylvania. This is a surprise to the country as bo bas never figured among tho more prom nent men of the nation, nor ia ho evou a leader in Congress. His fitness for the position has been discussed very little, and therefore we presume the country .'eels relioved that a worso nomination was not sont in. Mr. Walsh can scarce ly bo expected to be the equal of tho ex perienced diplomata who represented our nation at tho Court of St. Jatnw for so many years, but wo may rest assured that he Will not bring any greater reproach upon us than Schanck or Pierropout have ' done. The nomination ia an improvc jstfBi upuii those representatives. Poor Lewis Cass Carpenter I Bank rupt in character, bankrupt in money and bankrupt in friends, he has run his course, and now finds the prison cell Matty to claim ita own, and wei como the culprit who is condemned by all parties; ' Realizing his forlorn situation he sought safety in flight, but has been ph-k-nl up in Morristown, N.

He is charged with, -.sis i?g checks on tho Treasury of South Car olina, and when ne gets through in the ?tate Courts (which will not bo very soop) tho United States will' pay it? re*, apeets to him for the same offence sad for defaulting in the sum of three thou ran d doll Ara an Revenue Collector.

Beiiiitor ("?liver P. Morton, of Indiana, died al iii? home in Indianapolis on Tiiuim'iu v ?. vening, ina ?rai of November, after a long and tedious illness from paralytic He was at the time of his death fifty-four years of agc, having been born in 1828. He graduated at Miami University, and entering the practice of law, waa elected a Judge in his twenty ninth year. In 1860 bc was elected Lieutenant Governor and became Gov ernor soon after by tho election of Gov ernor Lane to the Senate. In thia posi tion be won a high reputation for energy and ability, so that in 1804 he was elected Governor. In 1860 he was stricken with paralysis aud ever afterwards was com pelled to go on crutches, and often to be curried from place to place. In 1867 he was elected to the United States Senate, and in 1878 was re-elected to the position which ho occupied at tho 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 soino titeo, when his political fortunes could bo advanced thereby, espouse. He played tho political vane throughout his lifo, and did not hesitate to employ all his energies and power to accomplish Ilia sellemos. 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 tho shrine of his personal ambi tion. Ho could play tho warm advocate or the inveterate enemy as best suited his purpose, and did not scruple to play cither or both of these roles whenever oc casion presented itself. His sole effort was to lend public opinion, but not to form it, and therefore the good which he did for his country was very little, while tho ovil ho wrought WMJ correspondingly great. During tho lutter years of his lifo he was tho fierce enoiny of tho South, and lost no opportunity to fire tho North ern heart against our people. Ho was tho compeer of any man that over lived in venom and malignity of speech against our people, and framed or assisted ip framing all of tho most objcctionablo measures of reconstruction, and yet when ho perceived tho chango in public opin ion as exnrcHMcd ln*t yenr, ho was prompt in deciding to chango with it, and was among the first to approvo tho President's Southern policy, and had his lifo beon spared would doubtless have been as zealous in hie efforts to lead tho Repub lican party in its now policy as ho was to keep aloft the standard of tho bloody shirt which has at last caused its over throw. But ho has gouo 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 ho even played tho partir?n for his own advancement regardless of every one c.so. Contrary to expectation, ex-Uistrict Attorney D. T. Corbin has returned from Europe, and is in Washington looking after what he is pleased to term his Sen atorial seat. His pretensions can hardly amount to much moro than causing tho election of Gen. lintier to bo sont hack to the Legislature of this State, as Corbin was not olected by any Legislature, but by a mob usurping by forco tho hall of tho legal House of Representatives, and arrogating without any foundation its prorogatives. It novar had quorum, oven of Returning Board members, and every Court in South Carolina has deci ded pgainst ita dalmo. It hus disbanded, and makes nc pretensions to even an ex istence. In history it ranks as a first cla*s political farce. No Republican who bas any self-respect cnn vote to sus tain tho action of such a body of self constituted, adventurous usurpers os tho so-called Mackey House has long sinco been proven, and therefore tho mont that can bo done in tho South Carolina caso by the Senate will be to declaro that there has been no election in this State, and thcreforo Bond it back for a new elec tion, which would amount to only a post ponement of Goneral Butler's admission, for he would bo promptly re-elected as scon os such a decision waa reached. ThiB decision, however, would bo ungene rous on tho part of tho Senate, for it would deprive a State of representation in tho Senate when it in notoriously a fact that the lega? ?_-egislature did elect, and that ir the election ia sent back the same Senator elect will bo again chosen, beyond the shadow of a doubt. If this scat is declared vacant, which we fear will be tho result of the contest, it will bo done solely for tho purpose of keeping out a Democrat, and thereby holding on to the Senate a abort time longer for tho Republicana. It will be trifling with a State and denying it rights, which would not for one moment be withheld from Now York or Ohio. - The Senate cannot consistently do this, but in iU presoni State of parties it is a death struggle with the Republicans, and they have no higher ambition it seems than to try to bold on as long as possible to the control of the Senate. State by State has fallen from their grasp, and the day of their overthrow is now clearly in view. Thoy may insult and wrong Louisiana and South Carolina as much as possible, but I (?hoy will surely be driven from power, asd ih-t too by .Not thorn and Western Sicttc?, ?ui?u in oj un, re not irampio I upon. Until that dav, if necessary, we can afford to wait patiently, aud submit to whatever action may be taken in re gard to our representation in Congress.

ATTACK UPON JUDGE NORTHROP. Ever iii'-ec the nominr,tion of Hoo. L. C. Northrop for the position i f UniuC States District Attorney for South Caro lina, tile disappointed seekers for the office have been pouring out the venom of their souls upon him, and have not '.scrupled to re: ort to the most palpable o.'d barefaced falsehoods, misrepresenta tion and slander of the man vvbo was for tunate enough to secure 0.. nomination over them. As a sample of the grounds upon which tbifl attack ls made, we quote the following : Special DUpalch lo IA? A'?ic York Time*. WAHIMNOTON, Oct. 23.-Ou tho return of President Hayes from his Southern trip, and at the suggestioi , it is stated, of Uun. Hampton, Judge li, C. Northrop was appointed United State? District At torney for South Carolina, in place of Oiatrict Attorney Stone, who had resign ed. Mr. Stone is the District Attorney whose report on tho Hamburg massacre was so fiercely denounced by (ion. M. C. Butler. Tho .Scinto committee (Mr. Angus Cameron, Chairmun,) who inves tigated last December the election of 187U 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 tho truth about Hauihurg, DiHtrict Attorney Stone had rendered himself especially obnoxious to the leaders of tho .South Carolina Democ racy. Judge Northrop ; ; a "native," and wu? recommended to President Hayes as au honest Republican. The tru'.h is, that he is one of the most conspicuous repre sentatives of thnt clement in the Repub lican party which Gov. Chamberlain was so enthusiastically eulogized, before tho Hamburg massacre, fur opposing and de nouncing, both oQlcially and personally. It was the faction which brought dis grace on the party in that State. Thc culmination of the wrongs done by this dishonest Republican faction was the nomination ol 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 H the mildest Htatcuiuut that eau bo tp.wio ol his action. It might be said, without violating the truth, that he exceeded hie lawful authority in doing KO. But there was no other remedy fur an outrage sc great. Tho Governor succeeded. Every Democratic paper and leader in tho Stat? was loud in his praise. Tho leaders ol the bad element in the Republican part} vero equally fierce in denouncing him. Now, it has become known that Judgi Northrop was in the caucus that nomi neted MOHCS and Whipper, and not onty worked for them, but advocated then election in a speech I During tho Kifli iCiubs: campaign Judgo Morthi^p tool great caro not to olTund the Democrntii leaders. Since his nomination hu ha shown hiv. gratitude to President Haye by praising tho people of II?H native couu ty, Anderson, in South Carolina, for hav iug been tho first in war against th Union, and last in peace 1 Tho Ander Bon INTELLIGENCER of Sept. 20 says : "He knew the history of this county and would never forget the zeal with whia her citizens enlisted beneath the lied Grot, Banner of the lost cause, under whose fold he had stood for several years, and he woul likewise, never Jorg': that Anderson Count was the last in South Carolina to be ovei come by Federal bayonets. The Judg then complimented our people upon thei patriotic and prudent course since th surrender, and, without direct referenc to politics, congratulated us in commo with the whole peopio of our State upo tho groat Governmental reform which w now enjoy as a nation and as a Stab Ho urged our people to continue in the: Btrides toward a higher and moregenen civilization, and expressed the belief thi an ora of unprecedented prosperity an material nd vane .neut was iu ?tore ft us." It is not surprising that Gen. Wai Hampton*should recommend this mai but it will bo a surprise if a Republic:: Senate should confirm his nomination. This article, which has been very gei orally copied by tho Republican pane hoatilo to Judgo Northrop and to Prc* dent Hayes' administration, in a fit sar plo of tho attacks which aro made upi tho nomination of Judgo Northrop. 1 prove that this article wai written 1 some one totally ignorant of tho matt about which ho waa writing, or that 1 waa totally reckless of tho truth, it only necessary * analyze two of the t sertiona contained in it: First. The charge that Judge Northr has been one of the corrupt Rep?blica of the State is for tho first timo ma public, und with it the chnrgo that supported tho election of Moses a Whipper, against whom Mr. Chambi lain is represented as making such a 1 roic fight. Of course Judge Northr denies those statements, and hits st rn circumstantial proof of their falsity, ; he was tho administration or Chaiub lain candidate for Judgo at tim th Judge Shaw was elected, and was agi the Chamberlain candidate at tho I judicial election, at which time ho v chosen by a handsome majority for t Seventh Circuit. Some weeks after t election Judge Montgomery Mases v impeached, and Governor Chamberh appointed Judge Northrop to fill his t expired term, thus showing that he v frieudly to him, and completely negat ing tho charge that he was cornice with tho Moses and Whipper electi So much to begin with. Second. Tho reference to Judge N throp's speech at Anderson ia a great r. version of his real remarks. Tho rep made hy us rf that speech was writ out tho day after it was delivered fr memory alono, and did not protend tc moro than a condensed synopsla of remarks, which occupied some fifteen twenty minutes in their delivery. So from being unpatriotic, they were cidedly tho opposite. It ia truo he o plimontcd tho people of Anderson u the brave devotion to their State j evinced in the war, but his highest c plimenta were upon the course our pc< pursued In Accepting tho result of war, and rcr.coring obec'tenci to tho 1 of the general government which fi ua of the troubles from which ether cc tica antlered. He spoke quite deque of ?he greatness of the American TJi and of its glorious future, and palo highest tribute to the wisdom, sags and pai.^iism displayed by tho pre administration in tho conduct of affaira of our nation, Tho writer of rbis article waa mistaken in asserting that thia waa Ji Northrop'a native County. He ia a tivc of Charleston, and has never I here. We have written the above in ju to the fact? of the case, as tho ot which waa tho text of the attack taken from thia paper. Pcrsonall; like Judge Northrop, though we < from him orit'rely in politics. W< Hove, however, that his appolntrac ono of the wisest steps taken by I (dont Haye?, and that it meeta th? provnl of nil parties in South Care except those ?ho wished to obtain the office for themselves or some particular friend. Whether the Senate will con j ?iia ulm ur nov remains io ba seen, bot we prcaun e lt will certainly do so, unless some stronger and more substantial ob jection than any of the foregoing can be rendered. Corresponden?? or Anderson Intelligencer. LOUISVILLE, KY., Oct. 26,1877. Tbs absence of President Boyce, who is now attending the General Associa tion of Tennessee, affords the opportunity 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. Prudent Hayes has como and gone ; Gov. Hamp ton is homo again, and the Grand Expo sition of Louisville, which attracted such large crowd? to the city, has just closed. Any one of these might afford a theme for haifa dozen letters or more. Although it has been several weeks since Gov. Hampton was in Louisville, I feel that I cannot desist from saying son.pf.hing about it. He arrived here on Saturday morning tho 15th ult. As soon as it was known that he was in the city, tile hotel was crowded with persons who were trying to DOO him. At uigut ibu writer and several South Carolinians re paired irt the Louisville Hotel, where be was stopping, aud found the reception room and passages crowded with persons, whoso chief desire seemed to bo to get a glimpse of South Carolina's noble chief tain. Tho Governor was standing at the head of tho 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 ono of his charac teristic speechrs. All honor was gi von lo Prcsideut Hayes; but I am proud to say that Gov. Hampton was received by the people of Kentucky with much more enthusiasm. This was clearly shown, two days after, wheu speeches were made by the Presi dent and other distinguished members of tho Cabinet. When Wade Hampton was presented the shouts were longer and louder than they bad been for any one else. Ho stood for some moments, un able to say a word, while tho noble sons of Kentucky gave vent to their feelings. Tim city is well 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 tho students of the Southern Baptist Theological Sem inary aro domiciled. Steamboats are passing up and down tho 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 tho city, as well as some very neat public buildings. If my letter does not find its way into your waste b?ket, at some other time I will give you abrief account of tho Public Library of Ken tucky, tho Museum, and Medical Col leges, of tho latter there are three. Sev eral eminent physicians have offered tc practice for us free of charge, of eli ir number one ls a dintinguisht-d Professoi in the Louisville Medical College. GEO. W. GARDNER. HAMPTON AT DARLINGTON. Tho following is an outline of the Gov ernor's speech at tha Darlington Count] Fair last week : Ladies and my Fallow- Citizen? of Dar lington-I would be wanting in propel feeling did I fail to appreciate the warm tl of your greeting lc day. A little mo? than a year ago I came among you tc fdead for a cause dearer to my heart that ile-tho causo of South Carolina. It was not for myself. I did not represent any party. It was only my good fortune to bo chosen as your standard-bearer, ant j1 have never yet gone into a fight that j j did not expect to win. We knew thai for years the State had been pl?nderet: by these strangers to her soil who, by thc help of the army, had gained possesaioi j of her offices of trust and power, and thc ?icoole rose as one man. and by yin peace al agency of tho ballot drove them out and to-day wo can say with p ide thai Carolina is once more governed by Caro ; Unions. I But, my friends, you must not exped too much. The misrule of ten yean cannot be done away with in A doy Some are now saying that the taxes an too high. Y"-u must remember that wt have the honor of the State in our hands and hoi just debts must be paid. Wt mean to put the credit of the Slate where i wat before the war. The building up o her waste places must be 'ho duty o every citizen on her soil. 7 fy advice U you ia to let politics alono We v ?ve nt great national elections on lian.? now, ant we must devote every energy to the proa perity of the State. When I spoke t< you during the canvass lost year I sait that every citizen of the State, no matte I whether born on her soil or not, no mat ter. of what race, waa entitled to all th< protection of her lana, ?iud thai if I WCJ elected Governor they should have tba protection. Since tho establishment o tho present State Government they bavi had that protection, und aro now in tin enjoyment of every right and privileg secured to them by the Constitution am laws. I want the colored people to be come land owners, for then tho r will bc come consf.rvotlve. I want to i<y> th people of both races living in peace tc gether, and on friendly terms with cac! other. If ono is in prosperity tho othe will be also, and neither can go dowi without dragging the other with it These have been my sentiments eve since the war. In 1868 I canvassed th State in behalf of candidates for Governo and Lieutenant Governor, and if yo fcui?uiuvr I then sam exactly what I ai saying now. I have always believe that if we would put forward mon of ou own State and make the issue againi misrule we would win. At last our people, driven almost I madness, rose up and said that the Stat was ours, and that we would bavo i And not alone to the men of South Cat olina is due the great work, as nobly f they endured the terrible trial ; but t cur T?c~cn, erho, t..cir prayers an er*mp!ef encouraged the faint-heartet and frowned upon him who would I traitor to so sacred a cause. And no to?day. as I stand here, the represent! tivo of tho people of South Carolina, thank them in the namo of the Stat (Just then a rose, thrown by a yonc ??uj iu. iroul of ibo stand, waa caught t the Governor, who bowed bis acknow edgmenta.) My fr iends, w? have caine a great victory, but there ls much sti for us tb do, We havo our waste pla? to rebuild, and wo have the terrible e: perionco of the last sixteen years to wai us. We who are now here may not * it, but our children's children will rei the benefit of all that we now do to mal the people of our dear old State ot* moro prosperous sod happy. . Tho Governor hero retired, amid shower of bouquets and rounds of a pl au?, J from all present. Carry 4.he new? of Cardoso's conviction to John J. Patterson. It will no doubt console bim greatly to know that it may be noaaible for him to have digni fied" cx-o?Bcera of South r!aroUna to keep him company in the penitentiary. The Grand Jury of Richland County has just found another true bill against him for bribery and corruption in obtaining his election to the Senate. Will that body allow bim to sit as a member of it with out investigating the chargea against him? If so, its morality aud diguity must be judged by the company it choos es to keep. Ask Yourself thea?
