c?Lt?Mi>iAV t? c. S*Zur jay Horning, Aggart 29,1874. Aangllng txtta IncClclency Not Q,uq11 ncstiom for High omco. The reform candidate for Governor Aas been abundantly discussed as a publio ?aau in South Carolina. At ? tbe very time the frauds of the Land -Commie?iou.wate .nor nitrated . by the. Jjand,Comm|aaiouer, Leslie* tboy.were ??s fdlVeJtp?sea'in IK* Souiherrt Guard a m ftWPH(ENixr"arit wa*r poBilblo to do in dealing with men' who bad con -eaoomate art and the most overpower? ing motives to cover up their trucks. 'Those rascalities were, at the time, .charged home upon his principals, the Advisory Board, without whose con? currence he could not have perpe ~4raied them. Cardozo withdrew from tho Board; Governor Soott denounced dts aotion to be of a fraudulent charac? ter, carried on in spito of his opposi? tion, and consulted the legal firm of iFopo.ifc Haskell as to whether heoould make the members who had entered . into it individually liable for the frauds ? ai-not; but Mr. Chamberlain expressed ao-eoraples, as he felt none. He stuck ^lo the Board. It loant upon him with vsontldeoee as the law officer of the State, and went ahead, with its Com -r.jniesioner, in the purchase of worth j -lew /lands, the Schey and others, at enormous prices. Ihese transactions ?were ebamefally fraudulent and revolt /. iug, aud 'worked a double injury?first to the colored purchasers, and next to x.tho State .and .people, whose money was tnns purloined from them. In .. that day, after severe oastigation, Mr. - Chamberlain appeared in:print with a /defence similar to the one put forth .ibe /other day, -resting upon denials s rand a claim1 for honesty of purpose and v. -.established good character. In any x. aaae>-oi whioh he had charge in the "fconrts, "Mr. Chamberlain would merci? lessly and effectively riddle auoh evi? dence as he offers iu his own behalf. Neither he nor the writers in the Union Herald have touched with any force or effeot the real questions in 'issue, nor have they removed any of the objections which have been brought forward to him as a suitable man for ?Governor. The difficulties in the way of bis representing a real reform in the State administration are simply insu / pexable, and the arguments, facts and i reasonings whiob show this are un? answerable. The attempt has really 'BoVbeen made, the so-called replies to .the Pikknix discussion in June and July, and the News and Courier discua .sion.iu August, all turning upon points that are only slightly applicable to the case. .They are all oast in one mould of deni.il of complicity, of assevera . tious of good intentions, of parade of . Forrest-character, and of demand that ' -he shull he considered innocent of gross immoralities in office. The posi? tion thus taken by himself and advo? cates, if demonstrated to be absolutely . impregnable, would scarcely mend tbe matter for him. He can only be proved to have clean hands at the ^expense of his obaraoter for oompe (teuqy and for the proper degree of ?soztsoience and sense of responsibility ?hieb we look for in a publio officer. Assume that he is innocent'of some things, and he is proved thereby to be gajlty of others. He was a member of Ahe Advisory Board of the Land Com? mission. He had certain responsible ?duties in connection with it. He was not a mere figure head. Did he look carefully to the interests of tbe people in the purchases? When Leslie com? menced and continued to steal, did he ? oppose him or expose him? When the rogueries had been perpetrated, did he, as Attorney-General, prosecute aud convict him and have him puuished? He was a member of the Financial Board aud its legal adviser. In engaging .the financial services of Kimpton for the State, did ho do the <very best he could for it? Did he try (to prevent the ruinous hypothecation of its bonds to raise money to be .-atolen by State officials? And the -eenversion bonds?those fraudulent bonds "issned without authority <of law"?had he anything to do in ad triatog their issue, or in using his in? fluence to have them validated by tbe fiocoeeuiug Legislature, when their Teal character was discovered? Did Sie exert himself to prevent its boing .done? Does ho' even now sustain the ?ast Legislature in pronouncing them frauds? And so we might go on to question his conduct as to firmness in all the other important positions be has held. Tbe sale of the State stock in the Blue Ridge Railroad, tbe Green? ville Railroad and the other property of the State, made way with and un? accounted for to this day by tbe Sink? ing Fuad Commission?was Mr. '.Chamberlain asleep, or was he vigi ianiiy protecting the State's interest when these nefarious transactions were carried on? The ..agricultural land Biorgb' giveii ;by theJfovotament to tue atOto of Oeorgiu;W0B adveotageouely Boid, aud for the,lust threu yearn the! proceeds have been uppliod io the edu? cation of about 200 youths of tbat State iu agriculture and in scientific branches of knowledge, without cost? ing the State a single' cent. Whero the proceeds of the land scrip gr.ap.tjt'.d to this State? Where nre the youths, who hayo received ,auj benefit from- it? Has Mr. Uhuraberlain proved himself ft]friend of the people, und of the advancement of their sous iu edu? cation and knowledge, by permitting their ednoational fund to be gobbled up aud plodged iu New York? To whatever point we turn in examining his career, upon the supposition that there has not been down-right dis? honesty and labored oonoealment of fraud aud wrong, we are obliged to discover inefficiency, neglect and want of moral courage. Mr. Chumberlaio, by his own admissions, was without any weight for good in tbe public com? missions or boards in which ho held a place. He was unable in the slightest degree to stem the ooarse of fraud, venality, dishonesty, jobbing, prevari? cation and falsehood?ull resulting in the addition of fifteen millions to tbe public debt, the corruption of the pub? lic service, and each diBgruoe of the State as is unparalleled iu history. For any good that be did, for the effect of any influence be exerted iu this trying crisis of tbe State's history and of bis own life, Mr. Chamberlain might as well, and perhaps would bet? ter, have been iu Africa, or not been in existeuoe at all, as to be where he was. Is that tho man to make Go? vernor, to obeck tbe flowing tide of corruption, to set moral and educa? tional influences at work, to propose useful and necessary reforms, to insti? tute organic changes, to brave tbe audacity of political and official bri? gands, to hold the reins on a fierce, wild, uneducated, nnlettered Demo? cracy and to lead them gently but firmly into the light of honor, truth, decency, morality apd education? We opine not. Haw WAi 111 The Union-Herald explains, by way of showing that it does not walk around the New York Times, that it copied a long editorial from the Times, iu Its "issuo of tho same date with" our assertion that it does so wulk. It has a strange way of reasoning, if it thence concludes that the assertion upon such a point was thus shown to be incorrect. Ws have looked at the Herald of that date, and wo see a co? lumn article from the New York Times But it's all about Alabami und Ken? tucky. There is not a word iu it ubout Mr. D II. CbamborUiu, reform can? didate, &0. But, iu auothur edito? rial of tho Times, it ?aid that "some better Republican candidate than Arts yet appeared must oome to the surface of South Carolina politics." Iu still another, it cdlod for "a candidate whoso eleotion honest Conservatives and honest Republicans can unite on." "The public," it said, "cannot refrain from inquiring why so important an officer us the Attorney-General of a State could not or did not discover thut the men associated with him upon a commission were thieves." Wo have not seen the articles from which these extracts are taken in the U. II. Per? haps the U. H. did not walk round them, but jumped over them or run a.way from them. How was it? Aroused Spirit In Bfurlboio, At a very large meeting of the peo? ple of Marlboro, at whioh many co? lored people were present, the subject of obtaining a proper representation in the Legislature was fully discussed. Marlboro is alive to the situation, and it was expected that by to-day Tux Unions would be formed in every township. Col. J, H. Hudson was nominated for the Senate, Cupt. B. A. Rogers and Capt. J. R. Parker for tho House?all good and true men. They expect to win, and the people of Marl? boro most see to it that they do. Staunch and strong men are wanted in tbe Legislature. That has been tho great manufactory of evil to the State. Put men in it that cannot be bribed, bullied or cajoled?men of positive obaraoter, of honor, intelligence and determination. Men should bo placed there whom the organized plunderers oan't deceive, or even approach with their filthy and dishonest schemes. ? ? m ? Jacob Moetze, ofaLexington, a vete? ran of the war of 1812, has been paid, through his attorney, A. M. Boozer, Esq., over $700, a claim uwarded by tbe Southern Claims Commission on aocount of stores taken by Geo. Sher? man's army, in 1865. Death's Head and Cbosj-Bone Po iiirics.?Tbe loyal press has awakened tu the importance of publishing Sooth em news oi Northern manufacture oa\ ciliated to feronse the old hatreds cjn. ?wob tlie Republican party lives.. The' faJrorite sty|e of item at this morneot isjtometbidg like this: ' ' '?>Guns ?bd ammunition ere.being shipped to the South in Urge quanti? ties. Prominent Soutbern'politioians Sty that the whites are arming for the . purpose of keeping uegro voters from the polls." In a few. months, the details will be more sauguinary. ..We shall loarn.that the white, iu habitants of Hokeepokoe Oouuty, Florida, have massacred seven? teen lovely colored babies and one co? lored adult. Then we shall be thrilled with (be news that the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal has been found poisouiug the lemonade pre? pared for a pic-oio of dusky Ameri? cans. Before the campaign is over, we shall, doubtless, hear that every white Southerner has sworu upon tho Bible to kill three blacks per diem and reduce those who remaiu alive after the election to hopeless slavery. It will be a rare feast of horrors, uud it will force iDto completion the Very separation of tho two races which these organs pretend to deplore They ans now making the most of the few disturb? ances at tbe South. With wondrous impartiality, they attribute them all to the aggressions of tho whites, even when tho latter have nothing whatever to do with them. There aro now two specks of war iu South Carolina. The whites in thai State are iu a hopelessly small minority. They would be idiots to provoke a conflict. They have shown no signs of doing so. Yet wheu two uegroes, Bowie aud Jones, arm their negro followers aud skirmish up and down Georgetown streeta, there- is an instant howl of "White League," und an instant cull upon the General Goverumeut to save these dear colored men, these loved Republican voters, from the attacks of a iieudisb enemy ? tho said enemy being in truth the men and voters aforesaid. Wheu the negroes of the wholo region urouud Georgetown come flocking thither, each faction breuth lug out threats ugaiust the other und the whiten, the latter arm themselves aud stand ready to defeud themselves, their homes, their children uud their wives from the brutal rage of ignoraut roughs. Thou there is a still louder out-cry. Now, the faot is, tb*t not one single case of assutilt by u white man upon a uegro has beeu reported during the whole disturbance. While tbe negroes have beeu tlnug at ouch other from safe distances, and making the streets of Georgetown bloodless battle-fields, the whites have kept per? fectly stili. Tho State Government has been culled upon to quell tho dis? graceful row among its supporters, aud has proved unable to raise ono com? pany of militia. The Executive bus reduced stealing to u fine art, but is unable to grapple with auy other branoh of the science of government. Thus, because a disturbance has beeu eausad by two faction.- of uegroes in u negro-riddeu State, nud because a fiet of negro oiliciuis have failed to sop press it, the white meu of tho South are deuuuuce.d as murderous assassins and fomeutors of bloody strife. We do uot regard them us spotless angels. Neither do we, like the loyal press, regard them as devils incarnate. I Chicrgo Tribune. o * *? The Gkass uoppeii PiiAO?e.?The following, says ttie St. Louis Repub? lican, is au extruct from u letter writ tun by Mrs. S. D. Barrett, formerly of Cambrdge, .Illinois, but now resid? ing iu Nemaha County, Kansas. He.r homo is in the track of tho Northern column of the devastating grass-hop pera, and we presume her vivid de? scription of the scene will give our readers u clearer idea of the magnitude of tho pest than they have hitherto been able to form: "It looks very sad and dreary to tu? to-day. The sun is quite hidden by the clouds of grass-hoppers flying all urouud aud alighting on everything. They are pelting against my doors aud windows us ast us hail-stones ever cutnu. I can scarcely sec through my screen door for them, and to look out as far as eye cuu see, it looks like a suow storm?as they fly, their wings look white like flakes of suow in the oir. They destroy everything they alight on. They have destroyed norea and acres of oorn. and now they are going in our corn fields by clouds, uud will destroy all in a day. Every shrub and tree is oovered with them. You know wo reid of Pharaoh's plagno, whero tho iusects got into the knead? ing troughs. I think this is one of them. I went out by the door to try and drive thorn off, and they flow all over mo, and I bad to ohaugo my dress to get rid of them. Instead of rain, we are having showers ul grass-hop pers. Our six windows arc completely oovered with them, and, as I writo, they uro ponring down tho chimney and coming down the utove-pipe. "Father has just come iu.

I never saw any? thing so terrible in my life.

Excitement at Blackville.? We stated, a few duys since, that thu haw mill of Dr. Lsrteagno, ut Blackville, S. 11., had been burned, aud that the tire was attributed to uu iuceudiary. Dr. Larteugue bail minis some remarks at a small gathering, aud, the words getting to the ears of tbe negroes, threats were made against the Doctor. It was supposed that the mill wan set fire to and burned iu pursuance of these threats. Last Saturday, u large Radical meeting, at which about 3,ODD negroes were present, was held ut Bluckville. The meeting was addressed by O. P, Leslie und General Whipper. After the meetiug, information was conveyed to Dr. Lurteague that his life was threatened Oy the uegroes. This aroused the white people of the town, and measures were taken to prevent any such fiendish outrage. An armed guard of sixteen men now patrols the town every night. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, 2Sth. - ? - - The Neqbo's Substitute.?This worttiles.suess of negroes has induced many farmers to hire penitentiary eon viets, aud of these, perhaps ?U0 un? employed on plantations about Co? lumbia. These convicts uro forced to labor steadily, and so well pleased are they with life in the country, thut they j rarely seek to escape. At first, plaut? ers along tbe llrazos were bitterly op? posed to the introduction of these ne I gro convicts into the country, but not/ thoy believe that p ;tty larceny will be? come a source of prosperity to Tox'.m, aud however venal chicken and cattle stealing by uegroes may bo deemed, I thu number of thieves seut to the penitentiary by thoughtful courts and juries will be rapidly augmented. The penitentiary used to cost the State .$10,0.10 per nunum. It uow yields the treasury a revenue of ?30,000, and its inmates have built railways, und are now, that railway construction is sus? pended, producing nilgai1 and C?ttOU in vast quantities. ?

Singular Fatality.?Within the past few weeks, no less than five mem? bers of a family by tbe namo of Lynch, residing in New Windsor, Orange County, N. Y., have died.

An old resident of the town says that thirty years ago, a family was taken off iu theHuine way, hut this is the ouly recent case known there. Under a recent decision of Attornev Geuesl Williams, 3,106,784 acres of public laud, gruuted to several railroad companies, revert to tbe Government by the conditions on which the grauts were made. In this opinion the Attor? ney General reverses the rulings that formerly prevailed iu tho Loud Office, to the effect that laud once grouted to railroad companies could not revert to the Government except oy some spe? cial legislation ou the part of Con? gress. The lauds referred to lie in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and Michigan. They will now bo open to settlement, subject to the usual con? ditions of the General Laud Office.
