Chamberlain, as our standard bearer for Governor of this State, and an nounced him a* an honest and an up right man?the man who would re deem u?, as it were, from the slough of d?spond iuto which wo had bacn thrown by corruption, scathing and | deluging bur party and State iu ever lasting, disgrace and damration? when we said, and swore by it, that if elected, he would tu.n pure water through the augean stab'es, and cleanse them of its stench and fillhi nCB8?we were laughed at and scoffed at, rebuked lor our audacity, and set upon by white villinns, Mack fillians, and dirt-eaters, who, in their combina tions, tried to wipe us out of politics, life, nnd even the hope of a futuro be yond the grave. It is strange to us that we held our own against the ring that wus formed to crush us, com posed as it were of many whose white skins covered black hearts, and who were too cowardly to jface us and say, behold thine enemy, but in tho dark aimed the fatal blow, as they thought, that would crush riot on ly us, ljnt those who iu their innocence live through us, and arc dearer to our heart than friend or country. No, not strange, cither. Truth is powerful, and will prevail. We had friends too; Bom* who etood in h:gh places, aud aomo who in their heart of hearts spake as did ttuth to Naomi. "The Lord do so to me, and more also, il aughUbut death part thee and me." Pure and white, like bay blossoms in spring time, these acts of friendship fill the cells of our heart, nnd soften its throbs, eren to a forgiveness of our enemies ! Daniel II. ('hnmbcrlain ie Governor of South Carolina, aud from the sea board to tho mountains, the shout In placing befoio our readers the following ^article from tho Areir* and Courier ,the leading democratic paper of the state, we might make a few ex tracts from the same journal to show how badly it must have been fooled onco to ?peak as it now speaks, but.we won't. ''We print, to-day, a batch of good news from Columbia. 1. Governor Chamberlain has decided not to sign the iniquitous thirteen mill Tax bill for 1875-/6. There will bo no dead lock. The machinery of the govern ment will run as smoothly as last year, when the Tax bill, for 1874-75, was not passed until the winter. The General Assembly will, by the time that t'uey re-assemble, understand the temper of the people better than they did when they adjourned last month. Low faxstion must be had. Those who are opposed to it will do well to stand from under. 2. Dennis ot Fur niture fame, has been removed by Governor Chamberlain, and Col. Parmele appointed in his ftead. The new Superintendent o^ the Penitentia ry will have no fellow feeling to make him wondrous kind with thieves or felons; for he is, we are told, a highly respectable upright man. although a late arrival from the North. 3. The Bonanza men arc desperate enou-'h to seek for a mandamus to compel the Commissioners to act. Are they coy? We doubt it. But when they have been constrained io serve, if they ever shall be, the work of plundering the State will only hare begun. The United Statin Court has control over the Bonauui bill, iind that Court is in con tint iblc. For the reinoval^of Dennis and for kiiiiiig of the Tax bill the public must thank fiov. Chamberlain, who also; is a', the bottom of the flank movement on the Bonanza men iu the Unite 1 States Court. Two years of such noble work as this will cause him to he hailed as the saviour of South Carolina. ?'HemphillV a brick*' is the very eloquent sententious style iu which a little girl at Greensboro', North Caro lina, expresses her coin men/In tion of Tin: Medium.?Abltevitte.

It is gratifying to watch tho ttcntly increase of confidence in tho ability of Governor Chamberlain to reform the abuses that have cursed South Caroli na. The people all through the coun try seem satisfied with the manner in which the State Government is being administered, and hope to see her places of honor and importance thor oughly cleansed of corruption and dis honesty, before the close of his term of office. If ho succeeds?rand we hope he may?then should all thc'peoplc of this State ajoin together, and in one voice thank him for her deliverance. No State could have been placed in a more unenviablo situation than that which ours occupied, previous to the inauguration of tho present Governor. She had been dragged us low as the cormorants, who prospered under Mo ses, could get her. Her finances were in a moat deplorable condition, while her credit went down with the reputa tion of her native young Governor. The robbers were daily draining the Treasury of the'last dollar to be found in it, which they invested in property for themselves. Moses was as greedy as any of tho cr^w, and with no conscience to cheek him, did not let a single opportunity to steal pass by unimproved. Ho robbed in and out of season, and seemed to find fiendish pleasuro in endeavoring to drag down the Slate to the miserable level of himself. He haefa great many spites to gratify; an inordinate cupidity to appease; prolligate and extravagant notions to be carried out, and he resolved to use his office to make accomplishments of all his desires. With regret, be it said, he partially succeeded in wreaking his veugeanec upon South Carolina. At the close of his office as Gover nor, tho State's credit was gone, with a want of confidence in her ability to pay her debts. The extent of the flonting debt had not, up to that time, been 'ascertained, and no one knew exactly the financial condition of the State. Tho taxpayers had become disheartened, ami had lost all hope of ever huving a better government under Republican rule |^^uttTr\_^^^_^a^BB^K8S^^P Clovernor Chamberlain, he has managed affairs so well ;hat the people arc not only satisfied, but have hopes of much good resulting to the late at large, from the statesmanship' dis played by him, and his devotion to the pledges of reform uttered by him in the late campaign. He watched the General Assembly at its long session, and vetoed every bill that was tainted with fraud. .* ml now, we are assured by the L'm'on IJeraltl, that Governor Chamberlain will veto the Supply Bill. If ho should put a quietus upon this last swindlo of the Legislature, by vetoing it, we shall move that meetings be held at-the Court Houses on sonic sale day, in eveiy County in the State, and resolutions of thanks be passed and forwarded to him. In this act, he will put himself squarely against the cor ruptionists and will have to look to the honest people of the State for sup port. By all means let us have the veto and lf?t the thieves, whoso claims it provides for, whistlo for their money in vain. It is too much to make the taxpayers, becauso they are in a helpless minority, pay evsry trumped up claim a thief may present to tho Treasurer. Tho Aikeu Tribune says if.ihq tax bill is not signed, we'will not bo able to pay the interest on the "consolida tion bonds,*' January, 1876. That statement is not correct. If the pre sent tax hill is vetoed, another can and certainly will be passed by the 20th of December next, and arrange ments can then be easily made to pay the interest in advance of the receipts. There is also another important feature of the "consolidation bonds and stocks," that many people do not notier. It is this: That the "coupons and interest orders'' arc receivable for taxes, and, therefore, if the legislature ever should, in oi:e of its vagaries, fail to levy a tax to pay them, they will mid must be received for tho taxes levied for other purposes, and interest will thus be paid, though in an indirect manner. The payment of the interest on our consolidated debt is assured, in spite of the legislature. Col; Dodamead, General Supcrin tendnnl of the Greenville ami Colum bia rail-road, will accept our thanks for a free pass over.,hi* road for the current year. i Au anomaly in the rural press of) tins vStnte is tho Ornngeburg News and Times. It,has two editors, which is as it should be if thoy would put more iu their papor, but the strangest of all strange things is the fact that that newspaper has a "manager of] finance!" There is something hidden in this matter. The idea of a "man ager of finance" for a country news paper is preposterous 1 We want more light on this matter.?Abbeville Medium. We thought the light of your beauti ful countinanco, Sir Homphill, wns sufficient light to lead you to all knowledge. When you double as we expect soon to do?we in the size of | our paper, and ycu in the Bizo of your bed-stead, you'll And whats "hidden in the matter.". Barnwcll County is all in a farmcnt over the Court House question. The matter has been referred back to the people, and in n few weeks a vote will be given either for or against Barnwcll.. Blackville seems to have a great many friends, and it is predic ted that the Court House will be brought back to that place. It is none of our funeral, no matter how it goes, but it really appears contrary to all notions of right to take tho Court House away from the middle of a County, and plant it oiT to one odge. The news of the break down in llcedy river, at Greenville preceded our arrival at home. We have been congratulated by friends at oxir narrow escape. We never would have ven tu .ed to cross the ford if we had not been nssured that Speight "big snake" had cleared the stream of its rocky bed. What say you, brother Speights's, we hadn't better puss an net next session making Reedy river navigable? The Legislature can do anything you know. Un.de Joe Crews has not purchas ed any printing material, and is not therefore going to publish a paper in Lau lens, at least so it is now reported.
