WINFSDOROI S. 0. Thurssday, yanuaxy 3, ; : :1878. R. MEANS DAVIS, Editor, JNO. B. RIYNOLDS, Associate Editor, IT Is announced authoritatively from Washington that the Demo cratic Senators will hencoforth withhold all aid from the Conkling faction in its struggle with the President. This is eminently wise. Whilo Hayes is not entirely satis factory to the Democrats, the policy of Conkling and Blaino is utterly antagonistio to the peace and prosperity of the country; and the Democrats should seizo every op portunity to oppose them, oven if it be supporting the appointments of the President. Kick Him Out. Some persons argue that from expediency, if for no other reason, Patterson should be sufterod to remain in the United States Senate, in order to frustrate any attempt on the part of the Radicals to un seat Senator Butler and scat Corbin. It is proposed to wait until his term of office expires and then to proccod against him in the courts. This position is untenable. Such a course would lay the Domocrats of South Carolina still niore liablo to the charge of bargaining and bad faith. It would be .a nice thing to condone Patterson's crimes as long as he is useful to us, and then, after his power of giving aid be lost, to pounce upon him and thrust him into the penitentiary. If the State proceed on the principle of pardon ing thoso who have served her, then Patterson's course in the Senate should securo him immunity from punishment hereafter. He must either be prosecuted vigorously in the Senate, during his term of office, or else be lot alone in the futuro. As any ' sudh proposition as the latter would be almost unanimously opposed by the people, the former is the only courso left to pursue. Moreover, the argument from expediency has little to recommend it. 'It is folly to believe that the Radicals will dare unsoat Butler. The Democrats will have a large snajority in the Senate in 1879. Shonld the Radicals furnish a pro eedent by unseating Butler now, the Democrats, then, will unseat both Corbiu and Kellogg and admit Butler and Spofford, thus gaining one Senator, besides, perhaps, turn ing their attention to other Radical Senators. Moreover, if Patterson should be unseated, a Democrat would sueed him for the vacancy and we would be just where we are now ; with the additional chane thentioned above, of kicking out several more Radicals in 1879. Again, when the straightout movement was organized year be 'fore last, it was understood that the Democrats would, henceforth, make sno bfrgains or compromises with Radicals. The more conserva tivo Democrata had united with Carpentor, Tomlinson, Greene, Mackey, Cnninghamn, Chamnberlain and other R~epublicans, but the masses refuried. tq go with them. It was found that the only safety lay. in repudiating every Radical leader, because there was none who commandjed the confidence of the Deinoerats as a body. In 1870 Domnocrats who thought it possible to fqrn. an. alliance with a Republi can a hundred. Limes less obnoxious tian Patterson,, were themnselvef denQnugood- as coiruptipnists and .Radicals,. And wbon they did comc) QVeri in thi) sraighitout ranks the~ came~ to stAy.. They see no0 morc reason niow- for dallying with P'at torsoqn'than. t,heir opponents an then for'a suipport of Chamberlain. The people foughts. tho. straightout fIght and .woun, because thieir anst was just. tLeb them pursue .the straight cowrp9 again. LPatterson is as mud1k 4 orinejal. now as b< over will be* andw~ every d*ia' dela~ lessent; tIfe (dhane. of- his pumish-. men~t. Lastly. Who'is Pateorpon: tJ~ there should be any elemeqey o tended towarda' hin$, lmi 'car.em. from its inception in 'Pennsylvania to tho present, is one continuous record of crime. He has cast but one decont vote in his lifo, and that under the most peculiar circui stances; and in explaining it he denounced the President most bitterly for removing tho troops and rescuing the down-trodden people of Suth Carolina from Radical bondago. Ho vilified the Democrats of South Carolina as a set of bloodthirsty and rebollious ruffi:ms; and while ho defended Goneral Butler from tho chargo of participating in Haiburg and Ellonton, ho stigmatized all who wore ongaged in thoso affitirs as cold-bloodod murdorors. Is tlis a man for tho slandered p0ople of South Carolina to forgive ? Who has boon the instigator of the political persecutions in the Stato ? Who has caused hundrods of in nocont citizotis to ho draggred to prison ? Who has at every cloection procured the pouriig inl of Federal troops, and the concentration of all the power of tho Federal Ad ministration against tho taxpayers of South Carolina? Wol instigated a drunken President to insult a dologation sent from this Stato to sock redress from tyranny and pillago? VhI- has, in every speech mado on the huosting in South Carolina, endeavorod to array racO against race anid to provoko bloody collisions, lltat he might steil five years more? The answor is "Patterson." Patterson's crimes were peculiar. Wiilo others robbed, he outraged. They sought power that they might steal. He stolo to purchaso powev that lie might still further oppress a conquered peoplo. Tho crims ho committed in the Senato fatr eclipso in malignity the tlefts he committo in privato. Punishment in the courts for tho latter will not be full measure. Patterson must be thrust heladlon-g out of the Senato, if it can be done. The proof of his bribery should be sent to Wiashington, so that tile virtuous Em(lunds may bo put to the alternative of protecting the man he damned as a scoundrol, or clso of kicking him out and making way for a Democrat. Let justico be done, though the heavens fall. The day for compromises ended on the 15th of August, 1876. We want no more of themt now. Twvo But FAnM.--In a recent number of your journal the follow "Ex-Governor A.bner Coburn, of Maine, is said to b,e the largest landholder iln America. He own s 593,000 acros, a laurgo part of which are in Canada and at the WVest." I wish to correct t;his; by saying that Wilson WVaddingham, now of this city, is believed to be the largest landowner in the UTnited States. He owns in one comnuact body on the Canadiani Rfiver in Eastern Now Mexico 060000 acres, for which he lhas a United States oGovernmonmt patent, and improve monts that rep)resent ai large sum11 of money. On this estate he lias, in connmuec tionm with an(othuer gentle man, about 8,000 head of cattle and 12,000 head of sheep, thme nucleus of a live--stock growing op)eration). In addition he owvns other lands situated1 on the Rlio Grande River and elsewhere in the same territory, about 600,000 acres more, making a total of 1,250,000 acres owned by Mr. Waddingham,. or more- than twice as much as is claimed to be owned by Cx-GoJv.
