' 'fhe' circumstances ottending this pur chase are a» follows: F. J. Moses, Jr., negotiated With Burroughs for this land in order to paint it off on the State. The hnd is very poor and unproductive. Before the sale to Moses, Governor Scott had ascertained through Jillson, Senator from Kershaw, and front Mr. Southron, that the tract couldbebought for $6,000 or $7,000. Moses bought it and de manded of the State $122,000 for 1>L purchase. The Board approved of this, with the exception of Cardoso. The members who approved were Cham berlain, Keagle, PnrW and Scott. Scott is tbe most guilty in this transaction, as he consented to pay $22,000 after being advised by ill*. Southron of its real value, but ho excuses himself by saying that he scot both Major Adams atid Dr. F.nsor to examine the land and they rc- ral approved of it, three of them.” Cur- di«o testifies : “ I understand that there were two papers—one tbo deed of con veyance, which was approved bythe At torney-General, and then there was « paper like tilts (showing a paper to v it- AU of Barnwell ness) with a description, and hero 1878, has'been published.

What follows we shall give in Scott’s own sworn testimony : “ I was one day in Mr. Leslie's office, and in looking over his papers and letters be handed me a letter from Mr. Burroughs offering fo sell the land ot three dollars per acre.’ * • * “I immediately instituted a re-investigation of the matter,and suc ceeded in getting $8,000 deducted, which left the purchase at $14,000.’’ In other -Words, the Chief Magistrate of South Carolina, with his eyes open, tonsented to see the State robbed of $7,000 in this one transaction, the Attorney-Gene ral approving of the swindle. Hear again fieott’s own words : “ Even at that price ($14,000), I felt that the Land Commission had been infamously de frauded.” Now it is in evidence that Leslie refused to endorse the application for the Burrough’s purchase bemuse he and Moses were then at enmity ; the bur den of guilt in this transaction, there lore, must surely rest on Chamberlain ind hit ccncouspirators on the Board There is no scape-goat here for tint wile.y New fenuh'nder. It is needless for us to go into the details of the various purchases made by fliis Land Commission. The details of all are nearly identical. The conspira tors, who wej*e. then combined to rob the State, carried out thcii 1 plans with out much regard to appearances. We shall, therefore, restrict ourselves to two more transactions, which will be amply sufficient to show our pooplo how they were plundered. If. F"X.<ind Wadsworth Tracts, Chr$- tcifield county. These tracts were sold through Le-lie by R, J. Donaldson, Senator fur Ches terfield, act‘-ng in partnership with II. J. Fox.

Ou a review of the whole testimony befotc us we cannot imAuiuc by what plea Chamberlain can exon'fate himself from complicity iu the monstrous frauds of the Inaud Commission. In our esti mation he was the “ head and front of the offending.’’ How can he explain, consistently with innocence, the infa mous purchase of la-slic, with the money of the State, on that frcmornble night in his own house at Columbia, so graphi cally described by Baweu? - How ridiculous on his part to endeavor to cram the columns of the Northern press with suggestions of political per secution on the part of the South Caro* lina Dcrttocrccy, or that the whole per secution is got up for political effect, and retaliatory on him for the purl he took in bringing about the South Carolina Railroad Receivership. This role is too sidy. All that we have written is gath ered from (be mouths of his own friends. It is tbeir sworn testimony taken in the spring of 1876 while the balycon days of Radicalism yet existed, and power and patronage dwelt in his right hand, and his word was law; yea, when no dog could bark at him.
