~~Ehe ~ _y~ nd ratd. WINNSBORO, S. C. Thursday, December 20, ; : 1877. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. S. REYNOLDS, Associato Editor. THE COLUMBIA RC/i8tCr denies the report that Hayes has nominated Corbin for the district attornoyship, and says that ho will still hold the fort for Northrop. Thoroforo we retract the remarks we made anont Hayes in reference to this matter, TuE DEMOCRATS in the House at Washington act, in many respects, like a mob. They have no discipline whatever, and in spito of their working majority the Radicals often outwit them by superior strato gy. On tho 14th inst. an important resolution providing for a thorough investigation of all the dopartments was dofoated for the present by the refusal of Republicans to vote, tho Domocriatic party being so depleted by absentos as not to havo a quorum of itself. Our Strong Points. The United States will be repro sentod at -fhe Paris Exposition next year. Congress has appropriated ono hundred aud soventy-five thou Band dollars to defray the 0xP01Fss -of a commisision. Whereupon tho Graphic offers the following advice, gratis: Send thousands of blacking-boxos and stack thorn iin pyramids. Send a fow hundred sodav-wnter fountains and all. the sowing machines. Send back the Turks, Arabs and Algc rinos who started "bizars" at the Centennial and carried them around in a carpot-bag. Send the forty two different patents for rat-traps. Also all the devic.s for applo par, ig. Forgot nut the model of the .perpetual motion .machine, which is perpetually still. Send 9,000 glass jars of shelled corn. Also one or two hundred of tho granite obolisks, under which -eyorybody is buried now-adays, manufactured at Cow villo, Illinois. Send a few hrndred tons of pork hams from Cincinnati; enough to fill a small warehouse. Send a -vessel full of tinwaro, tin pails, fish horns, tin scoops, etc. Send corn salve, gum drops, cough lozenges, all the sarsaparillas for curing coughs, tonic pills, vorking pills, ten-hour pills, eight-hour pills, four-hour pills, one-hour pills, 2:40 pills, extract of equirt root 'for curing stomach misery, gargling oil, .Bald's hair dye, and Hogg's sausago stuffer. Pill in the chinks with American bars and bar-koop era ; fill u'p the domijohns, put the niineteen paid commissioners and ,one hundred honorary commission ,ars on guard, each with a revolver and a copy of Ollendorf to explain things to the French nation ; then lire a gun and hoist over all the .glorious stars and stri pes, and wait for customers. With Patterson as a speiman of American statesmanship and in togrity, the exhibit will be all that could be desired. Patterson's Case. Senator Crittendon on Mondy in the Senate rose to a question of privilege. A despatch sent from Columbia by J. G. Thompson, of UTnion.llerald fame, to the Now York Times and copied without comment by the Coluimbia Register, was the special grievance. The chief point of the dispatch was that Governor Hampton had asserted1 that no compromise would be made by the Administration with Patter., son ; but the portion to which Senator Crittendon excepted was that in which the article alleged that Senator Butler on reaching Colum-~ bia had "prompted Senator Critton dlen to Oppose any action" on the resolution to forward by Senator Butler the proof of Patterson's guilt to the United States Senate. Hie ex cepted also to the allegation that "some of the baser class of Demo crats had shown a disposition to to help Senator Butler." Senator Crittcndon branded as fals6 the charge that he had been "prompted," or that he had spoken at all upon the resolution. He believed, how over, that the courts were the proper vehicle tW0eouro the punishment of Patter'sd, aud for this reason he recomniended that the Senate have nothing to do with it. Col. Crittenden had. also something to say against the Register for publish ing this extract wvithout comment, thereby, in his opinion, giving it sanction. Wo who live in the back woods know but little of the undercurrent of afffirs in Columbia, and are ig norant of the existence of any con. corted schome to savo Patterson from justice. Vaguo rumors to that effect havo reached us, but have receivod little hood, for it somed impossible for any of the officials of the State to aid Honest John in his rascality. We are thorofore per fectly ready to accept Sonator Crit tondon's indignant donial of the charge that ho is attempting to shiold Patterson. The mero suspi cion of such a thing is enough to make any man angry. But, at the samo time, we must admit that we cannot seo how the courts can now bring Patterson to justice. A formal requisition urged by the attorney-general of the State, and ably argued, has been refused by the drunkenjudge, Humphreys, of the Court of the District of Colum bia, upon tho plea that the Senate is the proper tribunal to try Patter son. As Patterson will -emain in Washington until the expiration of his term of office, tho courts are poworless at least until the end of the session, which may last for months, and in the meanwhile ho ropr-esenits the Stato, and votes on all important matters. The courts of South Carolina cannot appeal to tho United States Senate, while to make another requisition on tho couirts at Washington as long as Pattorson is in attendance on the Senate, would be a waste of time and money. The only way to reach him now is by a resolution of our Legislature, addressed to the Senate. That will koop him worried at any rate, until the timo at which the courts may soizo him. Senator Crittenden is reported as sayimg: The courts are still the proper places in whici to prosecuto and convict John J. Patterson (and not the halls of Congress) of the charges, which I have no doubt are truo. Our remedies in the courts, sir, are far from being exhausted ye. The only point of differenco is that the committee of investigation wish to operate through and hope to offect their object through the Senate, while we desire and expect to reach the same end more surely in the courts. If one half the people believe Patterson can be caught in one way, while the other half deem another way best, what in the world is to p)rovent a trial of both ? If ratter son is the rascal every one says he is, why not take advantage of every p)ossiblo means of punishing him ? The courts and thme Senate are indo p)endent branches of government, and the punishment they can inflict differs in character. Conviction in court will not remove Patterson from the Senate, nor will expulsion from the Senate send him to thme penitentiary. Both methods should be tried, and the only question shodtTd be wichi can catch him first. The courts have sent us to the Senato. The next step, at . least, is to mako the Senate send it back to the courts. Patterson should be made a football, continually being kicked from one body to thme other.. In the meantime, the people are asking whether Patterson is to es cape scot free, while the officers are quarreling as to the best way of catching him. The-answer to this is left with the powers that be. We do not want a Wall street silver dlollar coinod1, but a people's silver dollar--a Mississippi Valley dollar-a dollar with an eagle on it, whose right wing shall fan Washington City wvhilo his left wvafts the dust along the streets of San Francisco, and his tail spread ing over H-uds5on's Bay, while his boeak is dredging tihe mud islands from the stream betwooen the jetties at South Pass.-Cincinnaei Com merci..
