ITATF.S]1?ANSH1P, INDEED! e-ur<> nmr?zed when we read the sen 3 in some oi' our exchanges i tye/we stateniflnship(?) cxhibstatesmen in the recent ^Elliott contested election case B?fflgj||j^ywas decided in Congress last So far as.we can see from the HSB ' tkeie *KIS no necessity of any W^^Bfiiment at all upon the Democratic sl||lS^K:o. They, like many juries in our g|||B5iate who arc drawn to sit in judge Kp^ymeiit upon important cases, had j?P|||Btde up their minds long ago as to gjr&gMH; yerdict they were to render.

It was this class of statesmen who caused the South to riject t'.c terms of peace offered to the Commission- ; ers at FcHress Monroe, which act caused the sacrifice of tens of thous , ands more of valuable Iivc-3 -and finally a most overwhelming defeat ' of the Southern arms. It was this class of statesmen who caused tho majovity of t.!:c white - men of the South to ignore the negro after ho was set fsee, and to 1 treat him v-ith contempt when he was given t?ie franchise, although he . went to them for advice, They ' cursedJum and turned their bocks *- - 'iipfra-l-rfii. thw?-d^h4ng him over to +T->/* /.nvnoflmrrw-r t.V-l?<; <vivil)?

(.;: * Tho removal of Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton by President Cleveland to make room for Ex Governor Thompson, of South Caro linn, was one of the most nutooratie moves that any President has ever been guilty of, and it is a mystery to - - v i n many men how Mr. uieveiano coom have resorted to such a moasuro when he had every reason to know that the Senate would not confirm an appointment that had been made in snch an *utocratio manner. Snch overt nets do not reflect credit upon any one, and Mr Cleveland will soon have cause to see his error. No, brother, we are not presumptions enough to call onrsclf a states; man; but we do claim to have com mou senso enough to discern right from wrong, and also, to construe a written law?especially when thah law is so plain that it will not admit of but one construction. This is more than some of our present so-ailed statesman can do. Under t heir management they have run onr ship ot' State so far into t! e breakers that it will require a new crew out and out to get it intc smooth water again. lOOST'l?
