Now that Attorney-General ObAmher lain has concluded his valuable ?enrices in behalf of the United States Govern? ment against the poor Ku Klux, who were led to take a false position by the sins of the regime that Mr. Chamberlain helped to introduce here? we propose again to oall hip attention to tbe part bo has played in the swindling operations of the ; sing, of which;./he', ^esj;*1 part-great in 'crime, though Vary small in mofratfty. , The .?paWpV^r?ni Maasa ohnwett?, wno came here to teaoh us be nl?Hj^-\?at93^r?P hoW Ja iii?ye the right kind of ?-Stute Government, so?ms to think th?tbe can pet pp nguiu ?t ?all tho oharas laid at his door, tho,shield .ol h ie charoo tor ! We say seems to think, ' for he X?pws better. Whatever Mr, Obamberlain.be wanting in, it is not in bra?bs or affectation. He goes, we sup? pose, On tho Shakspearian suggestion of -.f^js^a^S^^'i^fob^ , jrtfu haye i^not.)* We tell Mr. Chamberlain that there ia no man in Son>.h C^UW^yen^tt?j?)ie I manner. horn,"?or elsewhere -born,. who can afford to disregard and itrtrore the him.

Aa thu present, developments widen and ?p?h, it appears more and more evident that, upon this legal member of the corrupt ( State regime, rests all the .responsibility that we haye attached to bim, and much more besides. Wa h?Ve already, referred to Mr. Chamberlain's Choster speeoh, in the .sa tn o? er of 1870. In Ahgust, 1870, at Chester, in this State, bei asserted that the whole publie debt Of tho State was but $6,188,310.17. In November. 1871, he assists tbe Treasurer, the corrupt Parker, in putting the State debt at $15,767,908.98. At the same time, this unblushing man said: "lam Piero to de? fend il ie policy and ads of Governor Scott and his administration in tlie management of the funds and credits of the Stale. J am aware that this is the vital point of our cause; the rock on which we split, if at .IL" And then ho adds: "If any one fraudu? lent ad, one instance of mismanagement or misrepresentation of public funds, under the present administration," is proved, then "let your swift condemnation fall on our heads, drive us from office-aye, drive us from the State." Self convicted, self-condemned, solf ?onteuaed mac, we refer to the sentence of Chamberlain upon Chamberlain him? self. It is said, that when a person be* comes bis own lawyer, he has a fool for his client. What shall be said of bim who b eco in ea bis own judge, and sen? tences himself to a grievous fate? The Attorney-General also said in that Chester speech, -which now rises like some ghost to confront him, that when? ever there is "made good one single charge or one single fraud in our history for the past two yeurs, let us descend to merited infamy!" Self-denonnced, self-soiled, self-repu? diated, we refer the oasoof tbe Attorney General-the highest law officer of thc State-to the At torney-General himself. Wo have not been more severe upon the Attorney-General tban he has been upon himself. But this is not all. We call tho atten? tion of the public to some points that we desire to make in connection with Mr. Chamberlain's career last summer. In May, 1871, just about the time when the Ku Klux sword was suspended abova tho heads cf the guilty officials, State and County, of South Carolina, the Attorney-General addressed a letter on pnblio affairs to W. L. Tren holm, Esq., of Charleston. Ho pretended at that time to be much oonoerned about the pnblio good. Of course, brave mac, as the Union says the Attorney-General is, no thought of personal safety oame to move his firm soul-only the public good. That was all. Did the Attorney? General not oome here originally for "al! our good?" If so, shall ho not still seel tbe good of us all and of his dear adopt ed State? So he writes a letter to Mr W. L. Tren holm, and seeks to put Ger berus asleep with bis proportional repre sontation sop. But, before thror-iuf his tub to tho whale, tho letter-writer tho loyal, virtuous, cultivated Attorney General, indulgen in some grave reilec tiona. Ho says: "Three years lum passed, and thc result is-ichai?" He ii referring to tho political condition of tin State under Kudioul uuspiccs. Ho adds "Incompetency, dishonesty, corruption ii . .st ?M created fronts,' have put to flight ike email remnant that opposed them, and now rule the paWy {Sjffch rsJjS ?STT. ^D adds: \Jj ? $ : LJ| "You mSy inline _^e? chagrin with which Isaake Mis B ?lernen?.

Such is the plain statement of the present'condition.Of the dominant party of our State. "What is the remedy? That a change will come? and ..como speedily, let no mao doubt. ! Corruption breeds ita own kind. Ignorance rushes to its own downfall Close behind any political party, which tolerates euch qualities in its publia representatives, stalks the headsman. If the result is merely po? litical disruption, let ns be profoundly thankful, ?et us make haste to prevent it from being social disruption, the sun? dering of all bonde whioh moke society and government possible." Is he not self-condemned again? If he wrote bis own sentence of infamy in A^gust^ 1870, doee bpflOjt agaip, in .May, 1871, put upon record his own condem? nation? It appears1 that he was not .J>Und as to tho corruption that; was stalk? ing about the State. He appreciated tlie situation fully. And yet it appears .that,he did nothing, and it further ap? pears that he has done nothing except to perform his role ot prosecutor in the Hu Klux farce, lately enacted here in the balls of so-called jostioo. After throw? ing out the impracticable and unattaina? ble "remedy", of proportional repre? sentation, he rests. And he has rested since, inactive and mute as respects hie duties to this State, as tho highest law officer of .the State, and charged will: the duty of prosecuting officers ogainsi .the finances, .aa well aa the power'anc dignity of thc conj moo weal th. He k casi his du ty, and bas done it not.

As our readers have observed, wo ha\ nover laid any stress npon tho Iogislath movements against the ring. We ha> had our own opinion of the mat 1er, ac have not been debeived. A coule.t b tween two factions of a corrupt nc ignorant party we did not think likely 1 result in any direct good to the hone masses of the State. If the redcruptii of the State is to come only from Wbittemore, a Bowen, or a Dennis, tin we would despair of its ever cotniu The fight that has been going ou in tl Legislature isa fight between the carpe bugger and the nativo renegade-b tween a Sawyer and his friends and Mackey and his friends. We say to tl State: Be not deceived. If we must n put our faith in princes, still lesa mu we put it in suoh beggarly elements make up the show of fight in the L gislature against THE RINO. We, course, do not intend to discourage impeda the efforts of any man, or set men, moving in the. direction of t State's relief. We would not obstrti even vies moving in the groove VIRTUE. But when two rings are co tending for tho mastery, the State mt keep an eye on beth. Our relief m\ come from ourselves and our oxen trusi champions. That effort which is to : suit in success will be made. The p: parutions are making. True, tried a trusty sons of our mother State will ta up her good causo, and make it good tho courts of the law. The blow that to break tho ring must como from t outer circle, and tho HAND to givo it wi telling effect is already raised. -? ^ ? ? - Our readers will observo that tho I duction of tho sizo of tho PuaiNix volves no reduction of rending mutt Wo aro only concentrating, nndour m to is "multum in parco."

Has there been B Joes to the oity in this respect, aa well aa othew? It see ms so.

And;.this is the way in wbioh Mayor Alexander and bis Oounoil manage the public interest*. A pretty J dear Council this. It is ft costly' Oounoil. Alexander the Great sighed because there were no more worlds to conquer. Alexander the little and bi? Counoil mako us sigh for the in? terests ot .Columbia. Pursue the city ring still /arther. A Word to Israel. Israel Smith, Alderman, and contract? or with Alderman Simons to build tbe; new market, is ont in a card. We did not get our information from Dr. Raw IP, as Israel assumes. If the City Counoil have not yet paid Mr. Parkins the two* and a half per cent, commissions on the fraudulent $138,000, docs tho Counoil not owe that sum to Mr. Parkins? I! so, the point made by as loses little of its force from the money being not yet actu? ally paid. Did Alderman Israel get the notorious author of the notorious memo? rial to write his card? From its spiteful spirit, wo wbnld jbdge that he had. Al? derman Israel Smith magnifies his little? ness when be supposes that Dr. Bawls, we, or any decent person, cares a fig about any injury that he is to endure at the hand of his "personal and political friends!" Israel is yet in the "wilder? ness," and in "bonds." The organ of the thieves and swindlers -the Union-here, has the audacity to ask the press to do justice to Scott and Parker-meaning to ask that they be ac? quitted of all wrong-doing. According to this corrupt sheet, the special message of Gov. Scott is a com? plete and truthful vindication of the State Government. It hos the unblush? ing audacity to try to make tbe oountry believe that these swindlers and robbers, forming the State ring and the Financial Board, are much-abused and deeply injured men. Scott is a model Governor, truthful and honest! Porker is pure as a Puritan of the brave days of old! Chamberlain is a saintly scholar, after alli Ki mp ton is a cherub, indeed! This is the suggestion of the most corrupt and the most impudent sheet that was ever issued in this State. Will the press bo quick to do justice? If justice were done, twelvo hours would not roll by before the ponderous doors of the peni? tentiary would close for twenty years, more or loss, upon the Union and tho plunderers whose infamous flag it dares wave in the faces of au honest and in? jured people. --. ? ? ?~ i - .

EDITORS: I eeo you aak help in the commendable work iu which you are ongaged -that of exhibiting the frauda perpetrated and now fastened npon poor, down-trodden South Carolina, like a festering wound. My opinion ia, that very much that the whitu people of our State have done tu nco thu war has strengthened thia odious party, whoso only stronghold ia tho ignorant volo of our State, aa well aa the pr? j nd ices engendered North by tho canees and results of our late bloody struggle. It I understand it, the United States Con? gress saya "there shall he no impairment of contracts;" in other words, thia instrument step? in between .state and individual, and ploilgee good tau li on thu part of both. I am no lawyer; but it seems plain lome from this, tbat.no "ex pout fmjlo" law ia constitutional. Then, if our whiio people are constitutional abidiug. why do (hoy avail thcinsulvos of tbs evidently unconstitutional "Homestead Aci?" Why avail themselves of one portion of Radi? cal usurpation because it suits their purposes in defeating justice as guaranteed bv thu Constitutum Of tho United state-, if they de aire to preservo intact our liber tm.? as handed down by tho great charter, sealed with <hu blood of tho first revolutionists? Why is it that they accept and hold office under this party condemned ns a national party by tho South, and condemned HS a State party by both de wtiitea of South Carolina and their own na? tional Radical leader?'.'
