Thursday, May 17, : 1877 R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Assoclato Editor. Wh1en Clamberlain camle to South Carolina he brought his wordly goods in a carpet-bag. Vhieni lhe left South Carolina, six street cars were required to transport his bag gago through Charleston. This tells tho tale of his career. Whittemore ha11s obtained "ilefi nito leave of absence from the Sen ate on account of siclness in his family." This means that the coma mnittoos who are investigating him have gotten upon so hot a trail that the reverend thief thinks it best to floo while he is yet free from arrest. lie has gone to meet Lcslie. and South Carolina will never see him again except in obedience to a re qusition on the governor of Massa~ chusetts. Chamberlain, who protested all along that he was urging his claim to the governorship only to defend the rights of the down-t rodiein African, has picked limiself up mid returned to Maassachue-wtts as soon as he is deprived of the loaves aud fishes. 11n1d his philaniithiropy been sincere, he would, in (lefeat, have remained in the State to rally tlie ')arty for the future. But lhe cnn squeezo no money from t-he colored mni now, and he leaves him to his fate. 'T'he Uin ion- IIJrald charges that a ring is alternately bulling and hear ingthe Stato bonds by tinkering withi legislation concerning pa1ymuent -of interest on the imblic debt. Now the Un ion-.leraldl is very poor aus thority, but the fact exists that there have been rings in former times, and it would not be amiss for the pOople to look into the matter now. We sCo nothing wrong on the surface in the course pursued by the Logislature in regard to the debt but it must be remembered that overutinc 3 the days of the he('at hen Chince, the smile that is childliko and bland is sometimes used, to conceal the ways that are dar1k. II ~It will be remembecreds that last year when the attempt was maude to impeach Judge Mackey, a eoloredl woman named Mahala De~ral~en reid( figured as piroseentrix for alleged inljtustie de( her by the Juidgo. Chamberlan took up the cudlgels in behalf of Judge Mackey,3 11 mand his organ, the Union-/Ihrad, -published a highly llils artice oharging Mahal a Deiaraffonrid with being a person of very bad charac tor. Mahala's tender sensibilities wo're wounded, and she siud the veracious pap)-organ for damages. It was developed that Chamberlin and -Cardozo 'were the propricors of that delectable sheet ;and they wvere made partises defendant. The .caso 'has never been brought to trial, but Justice. alias Mahala De GOrafoenreid, noveor slept. When it 'was rumored that the ex-Governor 'vas packing his carpet-.bag to leave hie was compelled to give security .to appear. The .Register of Tues '~ .day contains a joint card from Chanmberlaini and CIardozo, alleging tthat t'he article in question appeared1 'without tho sanction, either of Themselves, or of the editor in chief. They give the best character to Mahala and testify to a high appreo Ciationi of her worth. What addi tional solatium was given in the way of filthy lucre has not transpir's '4 (id. it is worthy of note that the iast nct of the exGovernor before leaving the Stte was the payment of damtages to a colored woman for a waxng donie to her. Mahmala may now rest coniteni. It is reported that the Mormons are -organizin~g secretly to resist the United States authorities inI case ani att( mpt) is madoe to arrest Birigham Young aind other leaders for trial for complicity ill thme Mountain Meaidows Fairfield Redeemed. On Monday, for tl' first time Since the hideous mockery of re constructiol was foisted upon the State, the proper'ty an d intelligence of Fairfield county was successful at the hallot-box. And now for the first time the people will have rep. resentatives ill the LTegislaitire, of wht1omn they are not aslamled. I )ur, ing ten long years the property holder anid the white man of Sout h Carolina had no rights that the Re )uliicall irty vils bould to re splect. "Unsernpunlous dtenu1tgogu;es tual plunderers wtorking" luon the fears, the supeist.ition, the igno rnce and the Cupidity of the io.. gro, and protected by a military despotism glm 1.11 people of the State into the very dust. But their day is past. Decency once more rules, and the difle'rent ele(ments of society will now sink or rise each to its proper level. ''h el ect ion onl Monday was p'eculial1y gratifyin in the mntler in whih it parsed ofT, n'ld in its results. The labors of last Noven ber receive their reward now.
