Ml*. Chamberlain'* Plea.
At length, Mr. Chamberlain has
spoken direotly "to the public," in a
defenoe of himself againet certain
oharges. It is fall.of speoial pleadings
and unsatisfactory denials. It is a
Iawyer-liko paper, ouch as a Spearman
or a Tracy could prepare, ingeniously
avoiding rooks and shoals, and sailing
smoothly along'in the placid waters of
self-ooraplaneuoy. The oharges which
he notices concern his aotions in vari?
ous publio boards or commissions from
1863 to 1872. He begins at the begin?
ning by denying that he had a larger
share of influence in appointing Kimp
ton the Financial Agent of the State
than other members of. the Financial
Board, at the same time vindicating
the appointment. He oontends that
it was.a good one, and that Kimpton
had "very great saooess" daring the
first three years of his ageooy. He
olaims next,, that"the Fiaauoial Board
were never charged with any duty in
connection with the issue of bonds,
except to fix the price- at whioh they
should be sold. This wus the case as
regards bonds to redeem the bills re?
ceivable, to authorize a loan to pay in
. terest on the public debt, aod bonds
for the relief of the Treasury, with the
farther duty as regarded bills receiva?
ble to fix the time for their redemp?
tion, and in the case of relief of the
Treasury bonds, to give directions for
the use of the bonds issued ander the
Aot as collateral security. And so of
the Act for the conversion of State
securities. It conferred no duty and
no power on any officer except the
Treasurer and Governor. The Attor?
ney-General, whioh offiue Mr. 0. then
filled, had no duty or power in the
issuing of bonds; neither had the
Financial Board. As regards his opi?
nion as Attorney-General to Cardozo,
Secretary of State, it was to the effect
that, his duty in sealing bonds was
inefefy ministerial, and that he was in
no way responsible for the issne of
bonds to the Financial Agent. He
farther testifies to the honest motives of
all the members of the Finanoial Board.
He prooeeds in the same way to deny
for himself aad the Finanoial Board
that he or they directed the Finanoial
Agent to make fictitious entries in his
books, so as to disguise the affairs of
the agency. In connection with the
Sinking Fand Commission, he was not
a party to the fraudulent Bale of the
State stock in the Greeaville and Co?
lombia Bailroad Company; nor was he
present when the disastrous sale of
the State stock in the Blae Iiidge Rail?
road Company was made. Hia views
were laid before the hoard, but not
adopted. The bond purchases by the
Sinking Fund Board were made in
good faith. He gives unqualified de?
nial to all other statements whioh im?
pute to him improper action in con?
nection with this board. It is only
when he comes to the Land Commis?
sion transactions that he has any re?
grets to express of the aotion he took
as member of the Advisory Board, at
the same time denying that he aoted
carelessly or dishonestly. As regards
the board whioh was appointed to take
oharge of the agrioultaral land scrip,
its "every aot van in ntrict accordance
of law." (Here we are {reminded of
the famous passage in Pike's Pros?
trate State: "They piok yonr pockets
by law; they rob the poor and the rich
alike, bylaw; they confiscate your es?
tate by law.") Concerning the thou?
sand other idle tales respecting bis
partnership with Kimpton, his pecu?
niary interest in various schemes
whioh were intended to draw money
from the treasury, and tho pecuniary
benefit derived from his connection
with the State Government, Mr. C.
pats in a generul and emphatic denial.
He says thut be was never approached
with u bribe in any form, nor was his
personal or official co-operation ever
solioited in any dishonest maasare or
aotion. He oonolades his manifesto in
the words following, whioh embody
only the faintest admissions of mis?
takes and unfortunate acts:
"The iittio property wbiu'u I now
possess I have acquired neither by cor?
ruption nor speculation, hat I have
earned it by honest and honorable la?
bor, and I defy the world to produce
evidence sufficient to excite a shadow
of a presumption to the oontrary. I
acknowledge mistakes, and I regret
the consequences of some acts in my
offloial career. I desire to see those
ooaseqaenoes repaired, and I desire it
all the more, beoause they have re?
sulted in part from my aots; but to
every speoifio und every general oharge
involving morul delinquency or oon
soious wrong in my official aotion in
this State, I give my absoluto and so?
lemn denial."
We have given the above genera]
outline of bis paper, in justice to Mr.
Chamberlain, against whom we have
occasionally directed some striotnres,
and whom we have (oand hollow in his
pretensions as a reformer. It oon
flrma us in our previous impressions.
It is aMame and feeble document. It
travels over the most limited area and
tails signally to clear up even tho few
points upon which it touches. Look?
ing back at those huge financial
swindles, which, like the chimneys
left in the track of Sherman'a march,
testify to desolation and robbery, Mr.
O. can find no words of censure for his
accomplices and avoids all confessions
for himself. He cannot now, any more
than he could to the New York limes'
correspondent, account for tho issue of
the bonds and the disastrous increase
of the debt. He still, we suppose,
does not "think it was tho fault of any
one man or of any sot of men." It
came no one knew why or wherefore.
It was a strange, mysterious and un?
fortunate occurrence, which happened
nobody knows how, for which nobody
is acoonntable and nobody to blame.
The several aots to whioh Mr. C. refers
so vaguely and indefinitely, by which
the State credit was destroyed and the
people's prosperity wrecked, look, no
doubt, picturesque, if not lovely, in
the distant backward view whioh he
now gets of them from his stand-point
of candidate for Govornor. Such
seems to bo his attitude and counte?
nance. He'does not look forward at
all, except to say that he desires the
mistakes he has made to ho corrected
and the evil conseqaenceB of his official
career to be repaired. How, he does
not say; bat, of coarse, he means by
improving the opportunities which, if
elected Governor, will be thrown into
his hands. He askB the people to give
him these opportunities. But a burnt
child dreads the fire. Mr. G. care?
fully avoids eayicg whether ho will
advocate the ro validation of the six
million conversion bonds and the con
tinned repudiation of a portion of the
valid, and a recognition of the fraudu?
lent debt of the State. He is silent
upon the Blue Ridge scrip. As to the
conversion bonds, so far as anything
appears to the contrary, Mr. O. is of
the same opinion now that he was
when he said to the Louisville Courier
Journal correspondent, namely, that
they "may not be frauds," although
the Legislature has so deolared them.
As a man of thought and observation,
Mr. G. cannot be blind to the neces?
sity whioh exists to take in view the
people of property, intelligence and
oharaoter in the State. He cannot but
know that thoy are kept under the heel
of a most vulgar and despicable
tyranny through diabolical machina?
tions, and the concurrence of a set of
peculiar oircumstances which cannot
much longer continue. Ho utters no
kindly word, he sends uo friendly
glance in this direction. He omits
any reference to his promise made
thirty months ago, of proportional rep?
resentation to tho Conservative mino?
rity of the State. There is not the
slightest tendency in all this address
"to the public" towards the concilia?
tion of all those great interests and
rights whioh have been trampled upon
80 ruthlessly by Mr. G.'s political
associates. Ho sees nothing anoma?
lous or threatening in tho situation.
He measures it strictly by party and
ring rnie and by its bearing on his
personal fortunes. There is no en?
larged and Htutesmuu-liko view, no ex?
position of the truth whioh it would
well befit him to employ in the circam
stanoes by whioh ho is surrounded.
He is no doubt a good lawyer, but is
wanting in the qualities of a statesman.
He has not been just and firm as a
pnblio officer. Ho has not set his face
like flint against corruption. He is to
be distrusted in the future, as he has
been condemned in the past.

The Nashville Union and American
says: "A rather livo issue has been
sprang in the very capital of the na?
tion, by the 'reform' commissioners
appointed by President Grant. The
Germane are nearly one third of the
white population, and oven under tho
corruptions of Boss Shopherd, they
had a fair representation on the Board
o! School Trustees. Now thoy have
none, while the negroes have five mem?
bers, half the number of whites and
more than their proportion by popu?
lation. When we add, that the Ger?
mans pay fonr times as much taxes as
the negroes, the 'equality' of civil
rights becomes glaring. Brownlow
was correct in saying tho 'snm of vil?
lainies' proposes to make tho negroes
superior to the white."

Camden, S. 0., Aug. 20, 1874.
They Condemn Each Other.
The testimony to eaoh other's dis?
honorable, conduct, flagrant corrup?
tions and moral worthlessness by the
Radical leaders in South Carolina
would fill a volume. It would be a
volume of curious reading, but would
tend to depress the pride and con?
fidence we feel in human nature.
These men often denounce one another
in frightful terms. It is impossiblo
for a man who has been properly bred
and has not fallen below tho average of
his kind to conceive tho depths of
infamy to which, according to their
own witnesses, they havo frequently
descended. This habit of denuncia?
tion prevails amongst them, from the
highest to the lowest. It character?
izes tho speeches of a Muckey and a
Corbin, as well us those of a Whitto
more, an Elliott, n Miuort und a Jones.
It prevails in conventions und legis?
lative assemblies, in primary meetings,
on tho hustings, and even in so called
churches. Persoual abuse and fierce
accusation form the mniu staple of the
speeches of moro than half tho mem?
bers of tho Legislature. Wore all the
evidence of their turpitude blotted out
of ezistenco, and only their own crimi?
nations and recriminations preserved,
the Radicals of this State would bo
secure of their proper place in history.
There is not, to-day, a public man of
this new regime who is not utterly con?
demned and remorselessly stigmatized
by the utterances of his fellow-Radi?
cals. And we suppose that, ao fur,
they are credible witnesses.

To tue Editor of tue Union: So,
my sweet friend, you were ouly wait?
ing to "hear tho other sido" before
saying anything ubout that outrage on
tho railroad in Alabama, in which one
of your dear friends wub concerned.
"O, ye gods and little n-?hea!" what a
difference it does make when your bull
gores my ox I Do you remember thut
"contingent condemnation" that you
quoted on Monday morning from the
Christian Neighbor, and how you itali
oized the following lines of the Neigh?
bor's artiole: "Before saying more, we
will wait to hear the other side. If
this is a correct version of the indig?
nity and abuse of a harmless minister
of the Qospel, we condemn it broad?
side aud emphatically?" Aud havo
you bo soon forgotLon how, not con?
tent with italicizing said language,
you proceeded to call attention, in
your editorial comments, to the foot
that you had italicized it? And do
you remember that you culled atten?
tion to it in order "to show how hard
it i i for men to believe that which they
do not want to believe?"
Brother Brown did give a "contin?
gent condemnation" to the perpo
trators of the alleged Texas outrage;
but you did not give even that kind of
condemnation to the alleged conduct
of your friend BuBtced. You waited to
hear "the other side;" and, had Bus
teed never spoken, there is no reason
to believe that anything would have
been heard ubout the matter through
your columns. r By the way, have you
ever ascertained that Wiley Draper
"still lives?" You, sir, ore just the
last man thut ought to complain of un?
fairness to others, for you possess us
great talents for suppressing what is
distasteful to yourself or likely to be
injurious to your cause, and for dis?
torting and perverting such facts as
are undeniable, as any man who has
ever come under oar observation.
But it is to be hoped that you will not
hereafter wait "to hear the other aide"
before speaking out, as yoa appear to
think such u course very improper in
others. ARGUS.
Thb Two PnorueciES.?Tho Mobile
Register says: "When Daniel Webster
died, aftor the ungrateful Radical idiots
of Boston hud refused to allow him to
speak in Faneuil Hull, and had invited,
by way of insult to the mighty patriot,
an iguoraut negro barber to address
the people in his place, who indulged
in abuse of George Washington, the
vulgar knaves and conspirators who
have since covered the country with
blood and disgrace wero jast beginning
to take the traitorous steps for tho
inauguration of tho great free negro
war. Looking to their machinations
and detestable purposes, Mr. Webster
said:
" 'If these infernal fanatics and abo?
litionists ever got the power in their
hands, they will over-ride the Consti?
tution, set tho Supremo Court at defi?
ance, change and make laws to suit
themselves, lay violent hands on those
who differ with them in opinion and
dare question their infallibility, aud,
dually, bankrupt tho country and do
luge it in blood.'
" 'John C. Calhoan, of South Caro?
lina, seeing the consequences to follow
even beyond the immediate results of
tho inevitable civil war then being en?
acted, said:
" 'After tho emancipation, effected
through the agonoy of the General
Government, shall have been accom?
plished, negro suffrage will bo forced
upon tho country. Our former slaves
will bo controlled as a unit against thu
white people of tho South, and, under
intolerable oppressions aud misgovern
ment, tho white people may bo com?
pelled, in iudignation and despair, to
abandon their country, in ordor to
escape oppression and miflgovornment,
leaving it-to desolation and ruin.' "

Inviting Sickness.?A belief that
violeut purgation is the surest remedy
for every human ailment prevails to a
lamentable extent among sume alasses
of the community. It might be
thought that the languid, the debili?
tated, the depressed, would know, in?
stinctively, that their systems need
toning, invigorating and regulating
with some wholesome stimulant and
alterative, and that a fierce cathartic is
us .uusuited to their condition as a
strong dose of active poison would be
to a man already laboring under the
effect) of some deleterious drug. In
all cases of physical weakness, Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters should be
promptly resorted to by the invalid.
The operation of this inestimable vege?
table restorative is three-fold. It vi?
talizes and reinforces the depressed
nervous system, while at the same
time it regulates the digestive and se?
cretive organs and keeps the bowels
free. Debility is often the forerunner
of an attack of some acute disease,
and to prostrate the strength still more
by scouriug the bowels with a drastic
evueuant, at such a juncture, is to in?
vite the immediate onset of the im?
pending disorder, and render the sys?
tem incapable of contending with it.
On the other hand, a course of the
Bitters, commenced as soon as the
I symptoms of general debility manifest
themselves, will in nine cases out of
teu prevent the threatened attack and
thoroughly restore the bodily strength
of the patient. The oases of dyspep?
sia, liver complaint, constipation,
dysentery, diarrboei, rheumatism and
periodical fevers would be compara?
tively few if this unequalled invigora?
ting and regulating medicine were
always resorted to as a cure for the
bodily weakness and loss of vital en?
ergy which usually precede these com?
plaints, and are, indeed, as a general

Many who are suffering from the
efftots of the warm weatber and are
debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. Iu
a little while, those who adopt thie
advice frequently inoreaae the number
of "drinks," and in time become con?
firmed inebriates. A beverage whioh
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liquors, and whioh is intended espe?
cially for the benefit of debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad, is
Dr. Schenok's Sea Weed Tonic. Con?
taining the ja ices of many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
an appetite for the intoxicating onp.
The nourishing and the life supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and well
known to medioal men have a most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tome will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris?
ing from siokuees, over-exertion or
from any cause whatever, a wine
glassful of Sea Wued Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto?
mach aud create an appetite for whole?
some food. To all who are about
leaving their homes, we desire to say
that tho exsellent effects of Dr.
Scheuck's seasonable remedies, Sea
Weed Touio and Mundrako Pills, are
particularly ovident when taken by
those who are injuriously affected by a
change of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a
supply of thoso safeguards along. For
sale by all druggists. A9f 13
