TiE vERDICT in the caRe Of 0x
Sonator Sawyer, charged with de
frauding the government in passing
n bogus cotton claim was rendered
on Molnday. Ho was found guilty,
and committed to jail to await
sentence.
THE Cor.UMB]1 R6fi8ter says,
"Somo not very wholosome papers
for cortain Domocrats have been
scardd up in the committoo room."
It is to be hoped that theso "certain
Democrats" will be hold to tho
same rigid accountability that the
peoplo demand for the Radical
rogues. .
Timr AyE thatt ox-Judge Sam
Melton did not apply for the
position of district attorney. Maybo
it 'is lucky for him that he did not.
For in a similar position, a short
time back, he didn't do so well.
There was scarcely over a more
iidiculous failure in official station
than was Mr. Attornoy-General
Samuol W. Melton, of South Caro
lina.
IT Is TLOUGHT that the Hon. W.
D. Porter, of Charleston, will be
placed on the supromo bench of the
United States. No better selection
could be mado by President Hayes.
Mr. Porter is an able jurist, a
talonted( gentleman, and a repro
sontative Carolinian. The appoint
ment of such a man to such a
position would go farther towards
gonuino reconciliation and reunion
than all the political hand-shaking
possible.
NEWDERRY OUOHT to have another
convention. The delegates to tho
In'esbnt convention were elected,
it is said, in April, 1876. They have
persisted in making all nominations
for office, although it is claimed
that . they do not ropresent
tho people. Whether they do or
not can be best discovered by
having a new election. Every
nomination should bo made either
by primary elections or by delegates
fresh fromi the .peolo.
THrE NEW VoRK Legislature will
hot choose a successor to CIonkling
. this year. His term expires in
1878. But the State Senators
olected now will participate in the
election next year. Hence the Re
publicans will make a desperate
effort to carry the Senate. Another
impelling causo ..is the fact that if
the Democrats carry both branches
of the Legislature they will redisn
trict the State according to the last
census, as required b)y the constitu,
tion. This would put a final
quietus upon Radicalism in the
Empire State. The State is now
georrymandored, and the Rladical
Sonata has persistently refused to
-redistrict, as that would give a
- Democratic mrjority.
A Well Timed Protest.
Hon. M. P. O'Connor, in a letter
addressed through the columns of
The Ne1~ws and (Courier, to H on.
R.'- M. Sims, Secretary of State,
announces his intention of contest
ing the seat from the second con
grossional district of this State,
now claimed by R. H. Cain througli
a-cortifichite granted by Hayne, th<
.boguis.Soeretanry of State. In an
nouncing his purpose, Mr. O'Connom
adduces a startling array of figures
to show tha~t ho reboived a majority
of -the legal - votes -cast in the
counties of Charleston; Orangoburg
and Clarendon. We reproduce ii
synopsis of his argument.
,According to the statement of th<
returning -board, Daddy Cain re
-.coived 21-,382 votes and Mr. O'Connoi
10,115, being a raajoirity,' for Cain,
of 8,267. Of the total vote, 28,842
were cast in Charleston, 7,339 in
Orangeburg, and 3,817 in Claron
don.' By comparing this return
swith the Federal census, Mr.
O'Connor shown thn.t in Charomo
the excess over the legal vote was
6,069, in Orangeburg, 3,996, and in
Claren don, 510, making the total
excess 10,544 votes.
By an unansworablo argument,
founded on the comploto control of
the polls by the Radicals in that
district, by the organized terrorism
that existed for wWto and black,
nit by the froo use of Federal
bayonots to awo the ignorant nogro,
Mr. O'Connor shows that this excess
was cast for his compoitor; and
that if this be rejected lio (Mr.
O'Connor) will be shown to have
boon olootod by a majority of 1,000
votes.
Ho shows, moreover, that in the
case of Mackey vs. Buttz, in the last
Congress, that body deolared that
there had boon no legal election,
and unseated both aspirants, be
cause the unprecodontedly large
vote of 10,409 cast in that election,
(1874) in the city of Charleston
was such strong evidence of fraud
that it was impossible to ascertain
the true voice of the people. Now,
if 10,409 votes, in 1874, vitiated
that election, much moro fraudulent
wias the olection of 1876 when tho
vote in tho city numborod 12,517!
Mr. O'Connor mado a gallant fight
in the last campaign, and he has no
idea of permitting tho victory he
fairly won to be wrested from his
grasp by the knavery of the corrupt
Radical leaders. He is right. The
Charleston district has been con
tinuously misrepresented in Con
gress since Reconstruction; and
Cain is just a little the worst speci
men the Radicals have put up yet.
Mr. O'Connor goes before Congress
with a strong case ; and his hand
will be strengthened by tho in
spiration # always derived from a
championship of right against
-wrong. It is to bo hoped that the
majority in Congress will not permit
any fear of being accused of partiality
to prevent them from according
substantial justice in the promises.
Mr. O'Connor should be unhesitating
ly admitted, while Cain should bo
kicked unceremoniously to Liberia.
Regonorato Carolina can no longer
be represonted in the National
councils by such cattle as lie.
