There is a sort of triangular ligbt j:oing on in Columbia for the control of that too much governed city. Dr. Kxisor (a man who dropped down here directly alfer the war and said bo didn't want oftico, but disapproved of (he practice observed by ninny South ern men of declining u nice of! ice when it came in their why,)?yes, Dr. Eiisor want.- to be Mayor and control C; lumbia. Mr. John Agnew wants to do the same thing; but the people seem to want Capt. Stanley for the job. And they are right. Capt. Stanley is worth a hundred Fnsors. Let'the Inder .-lay where be is and doch i Ihmii The appropriation 1 j >. \ > i - I aiulsoim ly tor him and his institution. Neither Fnsor nor Agnew as Mayor of Columbia would help the financial reputation of that city, while the election of Stanley would unquestionably revive its cred it, and jmvc earnest of the inaugura tion of an ccomienl and honest gov ernment. For these reasons wo hope that Capt. Stanley will be clcclcd. Judge Rcc-d. The committee appointed to inves tigate the charges against .lodge Reed have reported that they find no evi dence of misconduct on his part. In passing, we note the honorable difference between the conduct of Judge. Reed anil that of Judge Mat-k ey, while "under lire." Judge Reid, as so;.n as there was any talk of in vestigating his conduct, wrote to Columbia, insisting that, the inquiry be thorough ami earnest- Mackey, with infinitely more serious charges against him, not only coi,descends to lobby and entreat to prevent an in vestigation, bm has the audacity*to declare that the charges are the work of criminals whom be is pursuing. Vromiiu D? among those who press the charges?the Conservative members will remark?are Major Hamilton and the Lancaster Committee.? jN*< jr.-; QotO'tv)'. \Ye are sorry for the people of the Sixth Circuit, over whom MacUcy holds dominion. Major S. P. Hamil ton, n prominent lawyer of Chester, says in a letter to the Governor: "As a law-abiding citizen, I have conto to the conclusion that either Judge Mac-key must be removed from ollice, or wo will have trouble in the Sixth Circuit. Two circumstances occurring very recently have precipi tated my action in this matter. I Jmve no per.-onal ends in view. lie. has ruined cur profession, und I here announce that 1 lay down my only j support?my profession?and say that in the Sixth Judicial Circuit 1 can no longer practice law." A Dupe or a Knave. The Committee appointed to in vestigate the failure of I lardy Solo mon's Tank, presented a report which shows that there was n good deal of rascality carried on through that institution. Treasurer Cordozo comes in for his share, and is denounced in round numbers by the committee. lie has enjoyed immunity from criticism for months now, and it is high lime 'that he should be pulled out from be hind the Governor ami cudgeled a little tor his shortcoming-;. Governor Chamberlain hits done some very pood things for the people of this State, ami it is a pity that he is forced to carry Mich dead weights as C'nrdbzo and Tom Mnckey. They will annoy him more before begets rid of them than a bifiiojufc case ol the seven years' itch. Here is wha', the r< port dishes out for the Treasurer: "This subject seems pregnant wi'li mystery, involving not. only the ofli eers of the bunk and the General Assembly, but also the lion. F. L. Cai'dozo, the State Treasurer. By reference to the testimony of Mr. Solomon, it. will be found that the Stale Treasurer is charged with hav ing been engaged in acts not only blH cially irregular, but criminally dis horn -t and con apt. It Siems to he an undisputed fact that a largo amount of the claims of the bank embraced in the printed schedule have: been paid out of other levies, und Mill a larger amount of oilier State phpersub:-litutcd ami paid by the Tieasurer out of the levy Tor the claims of I lie bank, in direct vio lation ol t'ic expressed pruvish us of tin- act. which requited that the pro ceeds o! inch levy should be kepi by the Male Treasurer separate mid apart froth each other, ami "he appli ed for (he purposes for which they are respectively levied and none other," and also provided that any violations of the provisions of (ho tief should be a felony. According to the testimony of Coinptrollcr-Octierul Dunn, Llic.su two transactions aggregated its much us ?40,000. It will be observed from Mr. Cardozo's testimony that even be docs not deny the fact of the payment of sonic of the bank claims out of other levies and the substitution of out side claims in their place, to bo paid but of the levy to pay the claims of Uie bank, and so paid, but that he nt temp's to justify his conduct on the ground that be had no kn?wlcdg. of the existence of the. "printed sched ule," and war. without data to deter mine the identity of the claimos. Even if this would be an excuse, if it were, true, it seems impossible that il can be true, when il is home in mind that llic schedule accompanied the re port of the Senate fin: nee committee' was printed end laid on the desks of mem here, and is found published in lull in the reports ami resolutions; 1873-74] pages 10UG-1?98. Ii will also be observed that, while Mr. Car do/.o says he never hoard of the sched ule -'until recently," h? is directly contradicted by Mr. Minion, his clerk, who slates Ih4 its exist* nob was not only known to hiiusolfat the' time of the passage of the claim, bill that he called the Treasurer 's atteh; lion to i: at the lim.' Ihcchtiuis were lu'inj; paid in January i.nd I".?'.u nary, (874. Viewed in any lighl, Llic Treasurer is cither :i parly in interest or a dupe to a nefarious transaction by which the Slate has lost many thousand dollars." Hero now is what the AV?<\? anil Courier has to say of the comfortable Treasurer anil his knavish conduct : "The Committee charge the Slate Treasurer with having been engaged in acts "not only ol'icinlly irregular, but criiViiually "di.shotk.st and cor rupt." The offence is stated to lie thai Mr. C'nrdozo paid.claims of the Hank out of other lax levies than the special levy exclusively applicableto those claims, and that other Slate paper, lor which no provision had been made, was paid out of the special tax levy for the payment of the Batik claims. The conclusion of tlie Com mittee is thai the Treasurer'Ms cither a party in interest or a dupe to Llic nefarious transactions by whiohjhfi Stale has lost inany thousand dollars." These arc serious allegations, and, if they are home out by the evidence; Mr. Card?z? is unquestionably :>. most improper person to keep the keys of i he 1 rcasury.'' Taking together what Coiiiplrplcr Dunn said against Cnrdpzo last sum mer, the report of the joint Logisla lure Committee, and the apparantly settled conviction of the jYcwh aial Courier of his guilt, llic conclusion is forced upon its that MivGarthizo will have to come down from his hi?jh horse of honesty. What ic-es it Mean ? ! Saturday lust another resoluti n came up in the House,'providingjfor '.lie appointment of a committee to; inquire into the condttcl of T. .'. Mackey, Judge of the Filth Circuit. The jlep?blic?ns rppeulcd earnestly to the Democrats to vote for the resolution. The former said that Maekoy was one of their own house hold, and il he was guilty of corrupt practices, they were anxious to have him punUhcd. The Democrats couldn't see the point, and voted against the resolution, which had the cfi'oel of killing it. Tin; pre.:- from one end ol ihe State to the other is clamoring lor an explanation jof the votes gi ven by the ''high l?iic'jl geii'lo incn" of the opposition. We regret to say that- the members from this Countv, with Ihe exception of J Ton. \Y. 11. liccdish, voted to shield the culprit Judge! Tbc Slimier I)o-//?// wan, concluding an editorial on the subject, speaks its follows. "The idea has been thrown out that the movement iigtiiust Mackey is confined to rn;ruplionisls who hope Jo escape thus, end extreme Demo crats. 'Ibis docs not bear llic scihldaitcc of troth upon its face, as the most conservative inen and pres ses of the State is llic main force which is crying aloud at the doors ?l ihe halls <.f justice, thai this hold, had man be not now alhiwcdjio es cape. And it is well known, and realized, nil personal and interested stiilcmculs to ilit! contraiy, that there is n?t one right, thinking man in fifty, Uepublican or conservative, who does not regard .) ihlge Mac key us n thoroughly corrupt man." The Walch man says il eoii'd have filled its columns with extracts con demnatory (d the iiilUiohccsthai saved Mackey. * lint the mos I remarkable feature of the pr<"'?ceilings against: ihe man who invaded Judge ( atpenter's Circuit for the purpose of freeing the robber Parlier, is the stand taken by the ? < us at'/ Courier, Thai paper, it is well known, has .steadfastly .suppor ted (luv? rhor< 'hai.il>' rbiiu, and as the Iii tier came oaf shvngly in f.ivorof Mackey, protesting thai he was inno cent, we unsophisticated coiihtryhieh ihongiil ib.it. our metropolitan Daily would swing into line on I lies same side. Hut not. a hit of it. The Colum bia charm which lately Worke I upon the sympathetic feelings of our Char leston eon temporary j seems to have lost some of its influence The News and. Courier thumps the Governor un der the chin in the following round about way : "Twice during the. past week the House of Representatives has refused to appoint a Committee to investigate the ollicial conduct of .Judge Mackey. Eacli lime tho resolution for the ap pointment of a Committee of investi gation was defeated by the Conser vative members. The usual condi tions were reversed. A large body of Radicals were willing that the charges against Judge Mackey, one of their own leaders, should be in quired into, in order that their truth or falsehood might be known; a num ber of the Conservative members op posed tho investigation, and their voles have, so far, prevented it. They surely were heedless of the terrible public responsibility which attaches to any Conservative who joins the Radicals in refusing a hearing to re srcctablc Conservative citizens who accuic a Radical Judge of ollicial mis conduct. The particular charges need not. be considered here. * It is siiilieiool to say that some of the lead ihg citizens in .Judge Mackey's Cir cuit (including a Committee appoin ted at a mass meeting in Lancaster) accuse Judge Mackey of arbitrary and tyrannical conduct, and of flag rant usurpation of authority. It is asserted that these charges can be substantiated, and no member of the Legislature is dunce enough to believe that there is anything in Judge Mackey\s character, associa tions or career that makes it unlikely that he should have done that ol which he is accused. And yet the appointment of a Commit tee, before which they can be heard, is denied to his Conservative accusers! It is a curious fact that Judge Mackey's defenders (and they who oppose the investigation arc his de fenders; they may as well see theut selves as others see them) invariably assume that is guilty, or at h ast that any committee that maybe ap pointed will report against him. If tiny really were confident of his innocence, they would hardly light against an investigation, especially as the investigation would he conducted by persons of the same political faith as Mackey. There is no dangcrif.ini peaehiuetit, if the charges against Judge Maekiy are all froth and pre judice. And if an investigation is sure in lead to impeaehmei|l, the obligation upon the House of Jjbpre schttitivrs to order the invrstijnlion is heavier still. Do the: Con servative members vouch ior.'udge Mackey's innocence? That ill ? he. effect of wliut they I in yb. d oiiSSlrl? ha resolution for an investigation should be passed instantly. The Commit lev cuti report within forty-eight hours. Upon their report there can be an imnte lialc vote. All '.hi? it due to the public, and the public demand it." Lasl wet;!;, in speaking of the con viction ol Martin IK!, ny, we said he had been sentenced to the Legislature for one year, when we intended to say to the penitentiary. We make the correction, but. there is so little dif ference between the two, that we. hardly know that it is worth the while. ? (irrt Ueitle Eider prise. Greenville county has been send ing a Democratic delegation to the Legislature ever since reconstruction. We had thought that men of tint* persuasion would not voluntarily place themselves in the penitentiary. Rut there's no telling what one will do for six hundred a year.
