THE DAILY NEWS. FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.. ?333E COKTESTED ELECTION - HACKETTS LAST HOVE-A WHOLESALE ACCUSATION-THE BESCH 'ATO THE CAND?DATEd- OFFICES GOING A-BEG ,?00. COLUMBIA, S. C., Joly 19,1868.-Tho chief in 1er est attached to the proceedings of Friday centre in the discussion growing ont ot the resolution of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, asking instructions from the Honse M to the character of the evidence which should be received in the contested election of the An? derson members. The reasons pro and con are set forth in the speeches which are reported below, bob the animus of the movement is an? other thing. Those who profesa to know de? clare that rt originates with Dr. Mackey, whose Mj?m in displacing the candidates will be to make the question before Congress that Mr. Sawyer waa not legally elected, and consequent? ly cannot take his seat. The result also may inflaen -e other elections which are about to oc? cur. ' That, the delegation will be excluded is, I believe, aToregone conclusion? The determi? nation to thia end, exhibited during the debate, was but poorly concealed. The affidavits of the negroes of Anderson District, taken, as is al " leged, before incompetent authority, will settle the matter bayond peradventure, even though the most responsible of citizens should pile up testimony mountains high. In a party point of view, such a decision will Add to the strength of the Democracy of the country, and furnish fresh arguments during the campaign against the unbridled power which the majority in the South are using with much the same purpose that power is used by the majority in Congress. In a personal as? pect, the contest reveals a degree of political turpitude op the part of two citizens-of South Carolina, -both of whom served in the Confede? rate army, which excites anything but compli? mentary reflection*. As a matter of oublie in? terest; as citizens who ought to desire as large sad) respectable a representation of the whited of the State as ic is possible to secure; as j members of the community in which they J themselves reside, it was to be supposed that both Cochran and Newell would ignore six dol? lars a day and the honor of answering to the roll call of the Legislature, and allow the gen tiena/ a now occupying seats to remain un? disturbed in their places during the term. . They have not seen fit to do so, however, and society will - hold them' responsible for the ?barge that, will be established by Radical agencies, that one hundred and sixty gentle? men of Anderson District a?e perjurers and bars 1 The ocaiing week will, it is supposed, ba marked by another animated contest over the' j Supremo and other Judges. Tho candidates .are already br the field, and, with their friends, vigorously--at work. In th ?* fight ihe factions born of the late' senatorial s tm gl o will meet again, and revenge will be wreaked on those who may have thrown their influence for or : s gainst tho respective favorites. 1 The individuals most prominently mentioned are, first, JLajor Corbin, the United States Dis? trict Ai tom'.y, and Senator from Charleston-a gen?emart of moderate views, and possessing, 80 far aa I know, the personal respect even of j bis most bitter political antagonists. He is a . native of Vermont, has a fine physique, unpre ?j tending manners, black eye/1, big bead, and is, by long odds, the leading intellect on the floor of either House. Colonel WiliArcLjrf General Oanbj'B staff, is ^another aspirant to the position. Prom what portion of. tho North be comes, deponent tnowetb. not, but if size, bearing, whiskers and s ready tongue are trump cards jn the game, he holds a full hand. 'When you see a brown cotton umbrella, a broad panama hat, and six feet loDgi tudinaDy of humanity peram bula ting under a full head of Yankee - visor from the bole! to the Legislativo Hall-that's Colonel Willard. His eye is ion the Chief Justiceship. Judge F. J. Moses, the father of the Speaker, is a third candidate for the Supreme Court, and appears to bo a iavori te. - Indeed, a party is already organized who propose to '-pi^-nono bat Americans on guard to-night;" id other words, to elect to offices of trusts and honor -only South Carolinians, if available men can be found. The courseof Judge Moses Appears tb have been endorsad by many Republicans, and, with the large influence of his son, Ins election nay be said to bo assured. Ex-Gov. Orr may bo mentioned in the same category. He baa many warm friends ami well .wishers in both houses, and Gen. Scott especi? ally would feel his hands strengthened'by hav? ing near him one so thoroughly versed in the affairs of the State, and capable of smoothing bis way over ' he rough and unbroken paths of j a newly constructed State. For the Circuit judgeship?, Judge T. N. Daw? kins, of Union, ia. one of the gentlemen favor? ably spoken of, and. while neither he nor his friends are working openly, it is thought thal bis fin? '.?y?iiios, hiat early record as a Union man, ms. moderation during the war,.and im? partial decisions since, in all oases where the colored man has been concerned, will make hun the choice of th? General Assembly. As a 1 publio man, he has no record at which the Be- ] publican party can take umbrage. A young man from Spartanburg, named Fleming, is another candidate, and .will un? doubtedly re?oive eomething, from the fact that be has "shown bis faith by his works"-that is to say, he went on the official bond of J. L. . Neagle, the Comptroller-General, and is a Re? publican. Offices are cheap, and bogging for good. men. Quite a number of young gentlemen from the army and bureau are also here, ambitious to nerve the State, and willing to take anything that "pays," from an engrossing clerkship up. -| In fact, the colored members begin to suspect that those outsiders win run their machine into the ground, and look with distrust on this slow j process of soiling the Republican party to those who, unattached to the soil, will leave them in the lurch on tho announcement ol the first Democratic victory. Bather than permit this, they will choose 'South Carolinians outside of | the party of moderation and ability, or elect j colored men tb office. Cain is the prime mover in this programme. - Bumer has it that the son of Reverdy John? son is to fill the United States Marshalship. The two United States Senators-Bobertson and Sawyer-leave for Washington on Monday. Bowen takes the constitutional amendment. PERSONNE. 11 LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. SENATE. FEIDAT.I?UXF 17,1868-B. F. Randolph gave notice of his intention to ask leave to introduce a bill to enable those who contract to perform labor?o recover the amounts due for said labor. Mr. Batland moved the appointment of a ? special comittoe to inquire and ascertain c whether.the official bonds of. State Treasurer, c anen?B and other officers may not be lesson- t ed ra amount. The motion was agreed to, and t Messrs. Rutland, Corbin, Rose, Hayes and t i1Kot were appointed the committee. Mr. Cor bm, from the Committee on Ihe Judiciary,; reported, with a recommendation in favor of their passage_ A bul regulating appeals and writs of error to theSapremo Court. A bill to organize the Circuit Courts. Mr. Maxwell gave notice of his int nt on to ask leave to introduce the folio wm g bille . A bill to Incorpor?t* the City Cavings Bank ?ot South Carolinas BO^U* A bill in relation to tho appoint nient of tax -collectors. The Senate proceeded to the consideration I ti tne order of tho day, which was .he bill fcj 1 D designate sad perpet?ate the homestead, -which after being discussed by Messrs. Corbin and Wright, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading. On motion of Mr. Corbin, the rules were suspended, and the Senate took np for consi? deration the bill organizing the Circuit Courts After, the first section had been passed upon, J. J. Wright moved th*t the further considera? tion of the bili be postponed until Monday next, and after debate, in which Messrs. Wright. Corbin, Maxwell and Randolph participated, the motion to postpone was agreed to. On motion by Mr. Corbin, the mles were suspended and the bill taken np to regulate appeals and writs of error to the 8npromo Court, which was read and ordered to a second reading. On motion, the Senate proceeded to the con? sideration of the bill validating the laws of the Provisional Government of South Carolina. B, F. Randolph moved to amend after the words not "inconsistent with the constitution" the words "and ordinances," upon which a long debate ensued, in which Messrs. Corbin, Randolph, Wright and Cain participated, when, without coming to a decision, the Senate ad? journed. HOUSE or HEPBESENTATTVES. The House was called to order at twelve o'clock. Leaves of absence were granted to a large number of members. " The following were presented and referred: Account of Dr. W. P. Geiger, of Bichland, for posl-monem examination. Petition of B. F. Boyd, of York, for leave to establish a ferry over Catawba River. Accounts of S. Km gm on and R. S. Lime house, of (Holleton, for services. Petition of Sheriff of Kershaw District for compensation for services as Tax Collector. Petition of citizens of Cheraw for act of in? corporation for Cheraw Hook and Ladder Company. A joint resolution petitioning Congress to re? move the political disabilities of N.- G. W. Walker, beriff elect of Barnwell District. Petition of John F. Porteus, of Beaufort, for the removal of his political disabilities. Kuh, of Beaufort, said that in some parts ot the State, gross outrages were being perpetra? ted apon Union people; women wereboinc in? sulted and men whipped; and the present municipal and county officials not only did nothing to discountenance these proceedings, bul in some cases actually sanctioned them. In order to remedy this condition of things, as far as practicable, he moved that in compli? ance with the first section of article four of the constitution, the General Assembly appoint other officers in these localities, or authorize the Governor to do so. The chair ruled that the Legislature bad not this power, when on motion of Small, . mo? tion of Kuh was referred, in the sha, of a resolution, to the Judioiary Committee. The special order being the report of tho Committee on Privileges and Elections, with reference to the character of tho evidence to be introduced m the case of the Anderson dele? gation, - Shrewsberry (colored) moved that tho report be recommitted with instructions to re? port on Wedne-day next. R. C. DoLargo (colored) moved tho indefi? nite postponement of the motion. W. J. Whipper said ho could seo no necessity for a recommittal of the subject to tho com? mittee. Instructions from the House had been requested by the committee, and all the parties were, anxious for an early decision of tho ques? tion. . - R? C. DeLarge also urged the immediate con? sideration of the subject. General Carlos Stofibrand thought the report ought to be considered fully, especially os the committee had not indicated tho condition of the case and the Honse was not in possession of the facts. The Speaker said that tho repoit simply re? ferred to tho House a question raised before the committee, namely, tint all witnesses may be required to appear in person before tho com? mittee, to the end that they may be cross-ex? amined. General Stollbrand strongly urged the im? portance of sending for both persons and pa? pers. Justice demanded it. The case was of top great importance to be determinod merely upon affidavits given perhaps by irresponsible persons, and taken before incompetent au? thority. A. J. Banner (colored), speaking for the committee, said that he was perfectly aware aware that discretion was invested in them to send or not send for persons and papers, bat they preferred that the House itself should-ex press an opinion upon the suojeot. The question was then taken on the motion to indefinitely postpone, and decided in the negative. On motion of W. J. Whipper, the report was then taken np for immediate consideration. W. J. Whipper expresse', thc hope that the House would instruct, the Commit tee on Privi? leges and Elections to act apon the affidavits presented, su.-h a course being legitimate, ard ono not calculated to work injury to the con? testants. While that committee might with propriety send for persons and papers, the act woula involve the State in an enormous outlay, which, under present circumstances, ought not to be made. . 4' ' Certain parties had presented certificates of election to the Honse and had been admitted to Beats upon tho floor. An eq.ial number of gentlemen contest these seats, elaborately set forth the reasons therefor, and propose to sub? mit affidavits establishing tho same. There iras no question that both of those parties were jntitled under the law to introduce whatever brm of o video co they choose. The. report uf [he committee did not interfere with this right, md hence it would be bur to allow each of the contestants eqnal advantages in procuring tes? timony. The question to be chiefly considered ?vas that of expense. - What could be gained by sending for a hundred or moro witnesses and involving the State in thousands of dollars ex? pense, when their written testimony would in ill probability answer all the ends of justice. li tho a?idavit? were taken before competent authority they would be received by the com? mittee; if not BO taken it was the fault of the xratostants, and such testimony should be re? jected. * For these reasons he favored the r?? ception of this species of evidence, in pre fer? m?e to that which, by requiring the attend? ance of a large number of witnesses, would ?use a large and ruinous expenditure to the ?(tate. Mr. John B. Moore, of Anderson, Democrat, [one of the contestants.; I presume that the Souse will not be able to decide this question nth any degree of intelligence until they have earned the acte of the case. I therefore, pro rase to makeeueh a statement as wi.1 folly in? onu thia body. On the lith, 15th and 16th days of April. last m eleclion was held, by military order, io An lerson District, now colled "cann y" by the lew Constitution. The managers were duly ;woni, and made known the result; the Board >f County Co ".missioners, also sworn o fri o rs verified their count, and the result, and with ?heir solemn sanction I and other members 3Q this floor were declared to be daly elected. [)a bearing the result, the opposing candidates mtered into a contest for the seats we at ?resent occupy. They sent their grounds of protest to General Can by, who had the same ander consideration for two months and a half. To arrive ata jost and righteous decision jotftcal danby s ant a military commissioner to anderson, Captain Laselle, who investigated .he facts and made a report, which is now ?ither in the hands ot General Conby. Gover? nor Scott, or of this .House. Upsn the strength of this repart General Canb dec d-d hat we were justly and fairly entitled to cm ?eats upon thia floor. Before going further I iskfor th treading of General Orders No. 121. Tne order was read and Mr. Moore contiu-icd: Taking it for granted that this order is satis? factory, 1 now proceed to the discussion of the leoond point, wmch is as to the character ol he testimony to bo Adduced in this contest. ?Ve do object to affidavits as testimony in this rial. We are free to admit that affidavits have >eon used io such cases, and in the vari- us :ourts of this country, but ne er when either >f tho parties dissenting therefrom are refuged he opportuaty of malting a cross-exa m at?uii )f thi uffiant. According to this rule, ox poi ;o iffidavits are -nut competent testimony. We lave a clear and un uspu ed ri-.'ht to cros?-ox imino witnessed, but uudor tho pre ?out cir ?umstauces there is no chance for a cross-cx uniualion, b.causo wo cannot cross-examine m uffid vit. This, I submit, is an act of injus aco. According to tue protect ?hieb I hold m ny hand, many of the pen?os rot urn tl to in it. ne little acquainted wita tba nature of an uffi lavit, ai d who would bo willing to certify lo tnytbin?, simplv because (hoy have beard ithcrs say so. Now hearsay ?vidence is ?io!, lompctent, and wa havo no power under pros? tat circumstances except by allid ivil tu show hat it is false. Wo aro hero upon precisely ho same footing ai every other member of his House, namely the sworn statements of he managers of elections and tho certificate of Jenoral Cunby. Tuey oro matters ot' record, voile the affidavits proposod h TO aro iot only X parto in diameter, bu. aie not TU ?tteri of ecord. Now I submit tint thid casu has ?I eady beon decided; -he election has aireaJy teena subject ot protest. Ampio mums anil une were affn-d.-d io parties io cu..tust our eats, a trial has boon hid before tho propel lilitary authorities, uud uo.witlisiand ng thc institution of South Uaroluia n w makes-it ompetent to p iss upon tho qual.fica'i -ns of lembors, this Legislature mus-, ot oiidortak ; ) ignore the d cisi?n ot Gun. Canby. Ii wornd e a stretch ot power to do so. i jo; tr I do not know the character of the new a davits introduced into this House, bnt thi submitted to General Ganby were taken ?(bol one of the parties himself now contending their saate. Will the House admit euch affi vi ts, takon before a man who is neither a nc ry public nor magistrate, and who holds commission under State or military autho; which authorizes him to administer an oa Snob was the character of the testimony ta' before General Can by. and if such is to bo lied npon in the present trial, I prol against it. That affidavits are contrary to unless they are introduced wirb, consent of both parties, and taken bei proper authority, I refer the curious io si matters to a legal work entitled Phillips Evidence. Mr. S eaker, I protest against the protest these parties, and declare it to be untrue fr beginning to end, as I will show to the sa faction of every member of the House, what er may be the result of these proceedings, says: "At Greenwood the majority against undersigned was eighty, and your petition charge that baud and illegality was prac tn by the managers in this; that the written vo were'taken out and printed votes Bubstitu the next day. It is not known what nura' were changed; but at least two votes were 1 in the change, there being two more names the poll bet." This is the certificate of \ managers at Calhoun. Is it no t mo ns trous tl a man should come before the Legislature w an affidavit swearing to a fact which ocean at .Greenwood, when he was twenty-five mi away ?. It goes to support the assertion I hi mode, that these affila rita were taken nf the grounds of hearsay. This manager v not the chairman of thc board of regist tion nor a member thereof. Therefore it vi not his duty to count the votes at Grccnwoi The managers of .that box, however, hac right to do so, and they solemnly swear that t aocount was correct, and so reported it General Conby, by whose order we are entitl to our seats. To receive those ex parte a. davits, therefore, would bo to charge perji upon these managers of election. lb is fi thor alleged in the protest that many hod be registered ni Anderson County who, occordii to tho Reconstruction acts of Congress, are d franchised. Now, sir, it is undertaken not 01 to convict of falso s we ar in fr ev ry manager ai register in Anderson District, but one hu tired and sixty-three citizeas OL character ai respectability. Are you ready? Can you lei yourselves to the perpetration of this enc mity.? Justice forbids it. There is no la human or divine, which will enable yon stigmatize and render infamous one bandi* and sixty-three of the best citizens of Andera District. You cannot-you doro not do it, u less yon dare do anything. A voice-Sotto voje. Well, dam you, we' show you mighty soon. Mr. Speaker, I here assort that if these af davits ore withdrawn, it will bo the last ye ?viii hear of this protest. They will not pi witnessos upon the stand and submit them \ on ord.nary examination. It is for Urs rcasc that I ask, in justice to myself and colleague that we may have permission to examino pe: sons and papers. 1 om aware of tho expens to the ?state of such a proceeding, and a? or of tho tax-pa era, I would be williug to Ica^ this matter in tho hands of a commission, or i the Coi mm', tee on "Privileges and Elections i self, if they will go to Anderson and toke, ev dence. Fully live hundred citizens must b sworn in order to reach tho ends of justice i this matter, andi would like the committee t see in person the character and caste ct th witnesses who would bs introduced in oar ta vc to testify to the truth. As to tho affidavits we have not seen then but we claim- a copy of each ope, and mue havo a copy it this Honey proposes to do u justice. Mr. Speaker, I have covered thc ground c this caso, and do not propose to Bay anothe: word on this subject. "Wo ask no favor, w will accept nono. We simply demand justice Wo are becoming au expensive delegation ti the State. It baa already coBt \ wenty-fivo han drcd doll-rs to discuss this question, and w> desire that the matter shall bo decided om way or the other speedily. Mr. Joseph Crews, of Laurens, in answer t< the foregoing speech, said iowas evident thii matter could only bo settle: by affidavits. Thc State could not afford to summon, as a wit ieso, ov ;r.v man in Anderson District. Foi n e, he felt confidont, knowing that thcro wen nany men, registered who ought not to be .egisteiod. that the gontlomoa contending foi hose seats could produce enough evidence tc ihow that one hundred and sixty persons .'otod for the gentlemen upon the tborwlio vero not entitled to vote. Ho referred to an i stance in bis own district where a man voted nrho had been a coroner for sixteen or twouty rears. Many of tho registers had boen guilty >f the basest frauds in the last cloe tiona, and ?andreds had been kept away from tho polls ie cause intimidated by throats. The Speaker. The geitloinan will confine limself to the subject. A voice in tho rear-Joe, why don't you tell he truth ? Mr. Crews continuing, said that no >erson proposed to take their seats from these ;cntlomen illegally, but be had no doubt that he present occupants had received a large lumber of illegal votes, and if so, they ought 0 oe turned out. Mr. Moore inquired-Please Btate why you 1 ec larc these votes to b. illegal. Mr. Crews. 1 get it from hearsay and from rhat 1 havo Been on paper. I know ibero has iee? a close contest in Auder on, and it world lot have been half us close if justice had boen [ono. I thin:: we caa producs affidavits to atisty tho House that theso gross frauds ..ero perpetrated. Mr. Hyde, of Greenville, DeLargo (colored) nd Rausier (colored) continue:! tho discus ion, all opposing tiie reception of oral evi ence and using similar arguments with refer uce to expense, the legality of affidavits and he uncertainty of evidence takon by a com lission sent to Anderson. In concluding his jin arks A. J. Ransier submitted the following: 'Ordered, That the Committee on Privileges nd Electio is be and aro hereby instructed to roceed with the trial of tho Anderson contest d eleotion case, in saeh manner as is most ex edient in j us tico to all the par ies contestant, ad with un eye to the best interests of tho tate-determining for themselves all qnes ons that may be raised by eitbor porty m the regress of the trial, .-subject to the ultimate ecisioo of the Hoaso when the case is re orted." W. J. Whipper moved to amend by adding ie words "and that the said committee bo in? truded to decide the caso on the affidavits abmitted." - The amendment was agreed to, and the order len ad jp.ed. On motion of R. C., De Largo, Rev. E. P. dams (colored) was authorized to usa the all of the House on Sunday morning for reli? ions serviot's. The Speaker gave notice that members wcro ivited tu attend. W. J. Whipper presented tho petition of ohn F. Pjrtous, praying for the removal of is political disabilities'. Referred to the Com littoe on Petitions. The next sposial orderboing tho joint rcsolu on of tho Seuato appointing J. W. Donny tate Printer, R. 0. Dei,arpo moved that it bo adopted. mr.

Further, hat guarantees were given about tho estab sumoot of a daily paper as lae organ of tho ^publican party?

Mr. Ferriter objected to thc largo prico that .as to ba paid to th person named, especially hen other bids hod boon made much lower, ud wanted to know whether tho Boase could ot oloot it i own printer. The Spoakor replied in tho negative, that it ad not been thc custom in tba L?gislature. R. C.

The rules were suspended for tho purpose, and the motion was tben agreed to. A member gave notice that ho would on Mon? day introduce a bill to incorporate the Citizens' Saving Bank of South Carolina. A large number of members asked leave of absence for from five to twenty days, which was granted. W. J. Whipper-srffered the following: Resolved, That leave of absence shall not be granted to more than fifteen members at one time, unless in case of sickness. Wilder moved to amend bV inserting "ton."

The Speaker-The House must decide tho pay of all its subordinate officers. DeLarge said-If the pay was according to the prayer ho would vote for the resolution. The House refused to postpone considera? tion. A. J. Ransier said he, for one, was un? willing to pay $5 or $10 a day for the services of chaplain when there was an abundance of that kind of ability on the floor of the House ; and mc red to lay the resolution on the table. The motion was agreed to, and on motion of C. W. Wilder the House adjourned. IN THE 6ENATE, JULY 18, 18G8. B. F. Randolph snbmii-ted a resolution that the President of the Senate issue a writ of election for a senator in place of R07. Valen? tine Young, senator from Abbeville, who re? fuses to execute tho duties of his office, which was referred to the Committee on Elections. Mr. Corbin, from the Committee on tho Ja diciary, reported a joint resolution to autho? rize the Attorney-General to employ six engrossing clerks and two persons learned in thc law to assist in putting acts in proper form for the final action of the Legislature. Beverly Nash objected. He said that tho law already providod that the Attornoy-Qene ial and tho four solicitors should perform this duty, without additional expense to tho State. This resolution appointod eight porsons, at special salaries, to do what five per?ons bad formerly done, without additional charge. He was opposed to placing-this additional burden upon the State. The resolution was passed. Mr. Allen intnduced a resolution validating the ordinances of the Constitutional Conven t:on, which was referred to the Committee on" tho Judiciary. Mr. Corbin introduced a resolution for tho incorporation of Messrs. Langley, Kaiser and Cooke as proprietors of the Kalmia Mills, which was referred to the Committee on Incor? porations. The special ordor, which was tho bill to vali? date tho nets of the Provisional Government, was taken up, tne question pending being tho motion of B. F. Randolph .to recommit thc bill to the Committeo on the Judiciary, with in? structions to except from the acta valMated all such laws as they thought should not romain 0:1 the statute book. The motion to recommit was discussed at much length by Messrs. Randolph, Wright, Montgome y and Corbin, who said that to comply with instructions would involve a labor of months. The motion to recommit was car? ried. The bill regulating appeals and writs of error to the Supreme Court, was taken np on its second reading, and after Bomovunimportant' amendments was ordered to be engrossod for a third reading. The hill enabling persons having worked un? der contract lo recover pay for their labor whe>: sairTjontract is not complied with, was read a second timo and orderod to ho engrossed for a third reading. .'

A BRACK OF CA lt PET-BAG GER*. TEE MEN WHO WOULD BULE SOUTH CAROLINA A BRACE OF REVEREND RADICALS-AN AU? THENTIC HISTORY. ' The Charleston correspondent of tho New York World sketches white mau Lowis and black mon Randolph with telling raoincss : Rev. T. W. Lewis ?6 a whito man. Rev. B. F. Randolph is a thick-lipped lustful mulatto. Both oro preachers; both are professors in tho Baker Theological Institute (colored), estab? lished here since the war; both arc editors of an obscure, dirty, blasphemous, semi-Metho? dist, semi-politioal, all-Radical little weekly published in this city, and called the Charles? ton Advocate; both are from States consider? ably north of this; Lewis hailing from Massa? chusetts, and Randolph from Ohio; both are preachers of the M. E. Church, and leading mon in what that church recognizes and sup? ports as the South Carolina Mission Confer? ence. Of course the membership is confined j to the blacks, who have been allured by the ac . "wolves in sheep's clothing" from tho folds in ' which they were formerly nurtured. Neither of these men contd stand a success? ful examination in Webster's spelling book, or write what I would consider a oreditablo note; , and yet both are- duly regiatored as "profes? sors" in high-sounding departments of a Theo? logical institution, whose catalogua is circa- 1 lated in Now England, and embraces a course < sf study bet?re which, even the students ot : Princeton and Andover might well tremble < The Advocate baa but a handful of subscrib- , ;rs in this section, for the negroes are unable ' to read it, and very few of tho whito people jven know of its existence. But with or with- ? :ut circulation, and however contemptibly di- i anim ti ve and badly pr inte I, it receives a Mc- ; Pherson douceur of the public printing to the j rone of five thousand per annum, as perhaps ;he only "trooly lou" paper in the State. With ? ibis, and such subscribers as tho editors pick io na their Bummer visits and peregrinations 1 unong the New England saints, the Radical or- j ;an in reconstructed South Carolina is main- , ai ned. The entire working force, when the of ice was visited not long since, consisted of one 1 Ur ty white man and one black "devil" ti. e., legro apprentice). The dirty white mau has y tinco been appointed hy General Canbv an al- e 1er man of this city, with a number or negro ton/reres assigned to similar prominence and >ower, by the memorable coup dc grace of thc rroat satrap who now lords it over the two .lorolinos. What has become of the black ? 'devil" deponent knowoth not, nor need your .caders care. The mulatto Randolph is the congenial asso? nate of Lewis In the ?diterai sanctum and chair 8 irofoseio al. When the Radical N gro League I Tunta was arranging ita machinery for the con roi o? <he S tato, it was ascertained that this a ?itv was overstocked with candidates, and that b i distribution would be neoessary. According- . y, numerous carpet-baggers here were nacer- 0 imoniously assigned to counties in tho inte- E iorj and thus Randolph, professor in tho Bait'- r r theological Institute'and editor of the Charles- : on Advocate, and living in this city, was duly j eburned and officially recognized by General c. lao by as a delegate to the convention from , )raageburg, eighty miles distant in the inte- j ior. And, in likj manner, the whole nest ot : luventurers, harbored boro under the shadow : if tho citadel, were provided for in a conven- '. ion audaciously termed "constitutional." By j his manouvre, Randolph added to bia other i ncouie the $11 per diem and mileage, as a j norn ber of that African assemblage. While a party of Orangeuurg negro burglars : vero on their way to tho county jail in charge ?f tho regular law officers, they were rescued jy au artnodband of froedmcD. Tho officers \ ihtained assistance and pursued the party, ; vhen n fight occurrod, resulting iu thc captare if scvoitil of tho rescuers, two of whom'.vcr'.' ? toriously wounded and have sin-e died.

Ail this wiiii n a few weeks past, ic Caahy'a dis- ; rict and under Caubv'a eye, i'or the lapera hero have published the fae a, ?-.id ' et there is no military commission ordered to ry this reverend professor for thc mulder of ii3U0 two men, ol'which ho is fleirly guilty, if : hore is any truth in the law maxim : faed ber I 'Utan, facil per se. But when the pcstileut * )t 11 was killed in Kershaw, doubtless by si me - f his owu narty whom be had outraged, some t the bes*' citizens of that locality were drag? ed trom their homes by a detachment of Can y's ol liors and impriaoued herc, where they c io still confined, and it eecrns there is noe a , article ot ovideuce against' them.

And tho samo Randolph was a dele- f1 ato from South CnroUna in the Chicago Con- ^ sofi?n, . iviug the F,adical nominoticn tc c rant and Colfax. y Governor Seymour's Speech, The Springfield Republican, a thoroughly Radical paper, says that truth is truth whoever telle it, and that Horatio Seymour's review of our national situation, financially and industri? ally, is just what every voter ought to hear, and every Republican ought to applaud and echo. Only do Congress the justice to remember .that it did what it did as the sole means of es? cape from national destruction, and the Sey? mour speech becomes important and valuable as the strongest statement yet made of the miserable condition to which the finances and the industry of the country have been reduced, and of the necessity of an instant and thorough reform; a necessity which the Republican party needs to feel, and toke borne to itself with es? pecial force. Unfortunately some of fheBe Subhcan journals seem to think that they must eny the truth of everything Governor Sey? mour said. In doing so they have to defend measures on general grounds which never could be justified but by the palpable pressure of ne? cessity; they in fact adopt the errors of the war administration, without the one possible excuse for them. Every Republican ought to be opposed tothese abuses as strongly as Ur. Seymour himself; and the Republican party has got to oppose them, or go ont of power. Instead of this, we find leading journals up? holding the most flagrant abuses simply be? cause Horatio Seymour attacks them, and as? sailing the plainest truths because he utters, in order to pervert, them. It is perfectly plain that tho Repubbcans aro not going to neutralize the effect of what was false in this speech in any such way as the Tri? buno undertakes to do it; and it is equally plain that the Republican party must abandon the championship and perpetuation of legal tender and all its concomitant frauds, or go under. The speech of Governor Seymour is as bad in its animus as malice and unprincipled ambition can make it, but the general drift of his financial philosophy is sound and good, and his bitterest opponents will do well to heed its significance, rio language can exaggerate the importance of the duty to restore specie ?payments, bring up tho credit of the govern? ment, bring down its expenditures, and put in duetry again on a firm basis. The Republicans must do it, or it will be done for them. Things iif the Stat?. -Dr. Francis E.
