Corbin as a Briber and Swindler.
The Colunbia, Register completo
Ty explodes Corbin's claim that the
money he advanced for paying off'
the Mackey Mob was a loan to thei
State, made by hin in conseu(ionco!
of an injunction preventing Cardozo,
from using public money for that
purpose. Tho Register showix that
Corbin made the payment boforo
Cardozo was enjoined, and further
shows that no entry of the allegod
loan or of the payment of the
Mackeyites was made by Cardozo
on the books of the State treasury.
Moreover, Cardozo hiiself said that
this arrangomont with Corbin was
a privato mattor. All of whieh is
proof conclusive that Corbin paid
the Mackey nentbers out of his
privato purse, or out of State funds
in his possession as a privato in
dividual, and that his purpose was
to bribe the inembers to elect hii
to the United States Senate. As
measures are on foot to appoint a
Legislative committeo to inves.tigato
this transaction, it is hoped that
Corbin will Hoon be shown up.
Moreovor, Corbin's protonded ex
p1anation of his failire to acconnt
for $28,000 collected from Phos -
phate Royalties on the score that
he was authorized by Comptroller
Dunn to pay himself cortain fees
duo as attorney for the State, is
denounced very properly by the
Register as a fraud, Dunn pos
sessed no authority to divert this
royalty to the payment of fees; and
Corbin was shrewd enough lawyer
to know it. Civil suit has already
boon instituted to recover this
money; and if a criminal proceed
ing can in any way be tacked on, it
will be still better. Lot Corbin be
pursued. If there is any one mo: e
obnoxious to the people than Pat.
torson, it is Corbin. Let him be
garnered into the prnitentiary if
that desirable result can in ray
way be accomplished.
The Election Law.
It is the duty of the Legislature
to bring the State, as nearly as
possible, back to her old moorings,
and restore old customs, which the
Radicas for their owvn vile purposes
have alTered. Principal among
those is- the constitutional provision
regulating the time and mnner of
holding elections. In the good old
days of States' rightsi the State and
Congrossional elections were kept
separate and distinct. But the
Radisals, in order to stile the voice
of the people by the uso of the
bayonet, jumbled them all into one,
and even required the use of but
one box, so that now theonames of
all candidates,. from president down
to coroner,. are printed on the same
ticket.. By this device the provis
ions of the bayonet bill were made
to apply to all cases; and the
Federal government, under the pre
tence of seeing fair play in Con
gressional elections, has not only
bulldozed the people in that respect
but. exerted terrorism even in the
elections for petty county offices.
The Legislature should not sleep
until measures have been initiated
to upset all this Radical machinery.
It is idle to urge that Hayes will
not interfere in State elections.
The mighty contest now waging
against him by the Radical digni
taries, whatever be the motives
assigned, arises simply from his
doctrine of non4interference. In
dications are that he must succumb
to party dictates, or desert to the
Democracy. One alternative is as
probablo as the other;y and in case
hoe accepts the former, the scenes
of the campaign of 1876 in South
Carolina will be witnessed again in
1878 and 1880. The only security
against this is a smashing of the
mnachine-a duty devolving per
emptorily upon the Legislature.
e are informed that a bill will
bintroduced to change the day
of holding Congressional elections,
so that they will not be coinoi nna
with tho election of Stat and
county officials. This would be
well enough, wore it not that the
Prmdential and the Stato electiois
would still be hold on the samo day.
Tho best courso would b the
submission of ia constitutional
am11onhmnnt changing the Stato
election back to the mune day in
October onl which it was previously
hold. Ia tile mintimo the Logis
lature should mo imtiend the election
law am to provide for separato boxes
at eatch procict, ono for Foderal
and the other for Stato oices, the
two to be kept ontirely distinct.
This would be z reto-ration of the
old custom, and would frusrate
any attempt oil the part of the
Federal governmont to control
State ulo-tions. Will the Legislo
turo please attend to this little
matter itt onceo?
