In our last issue we published the interview between Humbert and tho reporter of the News and Courier, hop Ing by this time to give the answer of Senator Andrews to tho grave charges contained therein; but from the follow ing paragraph taken from the Orango burg Ncwo, the officiul orgau of the County, of which Senator Andrews ib editor, wo judge the public will have to continue in doubt or surmise, until the silting of Court, as to where their money is gone: "It was his intention to make a full and complete answer to the charges made by Humbert against him, but as ho has been legally advised not to do so, and as he designs to court, nay, demand a full investigation at this Term of the Court, the public will get no answer from him juat now. In the mean time thousands of the peoples money have been spirited away, which the taxpayers will have to make good, or importaut interests of the county must assuredly suffer. We hope the Grand Jury will take note of the disclosures, and use every effort to bring the guilty to justice, if such can be obtained froni the Courts. It is but another of the innumerable frauds which have marked the career of the Republican party of tho South, and made it a by-word and reproach to the honest people of the nation. The rich may bo able to bear these leakages of the public treasury, but the poor man, who eats his bread by the sweat of his brow, and who makes the money that pays the taxes, will be the sufferer. TRAFFIC IN SEED COTTON. Wo hear complaints in every direc tion about the illicit traffic in seed cotton The farmers in some sections aro al most ruined while the store keepers ^ are growing rich. It iB certainly hard on tho poor far mer, who risks his scanty means in a crop to find nt the cutl ol the year that the greater part of it has been stolen from him. The abridging of liberty in any shape is contrary to our Demo cratic nature, but we think that neither Republicans nor Democrats should object to an abridgment of the liber ty to steal. A law simply requiring each store keeper, under severe penalty lor omis sion, to keep in a book, open .to public inspection, a correct register of the kind of produce sold tc him, the name of the seller and the dato of sale, would be a powerful auxiliary in tracing the thief, and would act as a partial check. A thief would not be apt to curry produce to a place where his name will be registered, and if a reward ^is oiler ed to any one reportiug a store keeper who neglects to register, he will hard ly run the risk of paying a heavy line. Will the Lcgislaturo consider the matter? LOUISIANA. Of all tho Southern States, this is nadoubtedly the most Radical ridden and abused. Any one would have thought that the Kellog usurpation and Durell or der wai enough infamy for one genera tion in a so-called free country; but the recent action of the Returning Board in changing a Conservative majority of twenty-nine to a Republi can majority of two is, if true, a start ling demonstration of what Radical madness will attempt. It is said that Gra^t has taken sides with tho usurpation and has sent Gen. Sheridan to maintain cider. It is hoped that the people of Louisiana will keep perfectly cool under this des potism, and let these two men alone in their folly. Every body gavo them credit for better sense than of their own accord to fasten the nails stronger in the Radical coffin. If they expect in this way to goad the pcoplo to revolt, and thus raise t ho cry ol Southern insubordination to help the cause of Republicanism in 1870, we trust tho good judgment of the pcoplo will foil their design. In this wc think we have an encouraging assurance in the expression ofGov. McEneiy that'resistance to the nation al authority hits never been meditated.' Wisdom plainly dictates for the peo pie of Louisiana to bear their troubles, however insupportable, a little while longer. MCG 0 WANVS. Ii0G& A correspondent of tho News' aud [Courier suggests thataaa- Republican ' Congress seated Hogo who was beaten iu 1808 by Reed the Democratic Candidate, the Democratic Congress might retaliate and seat Gen McGow ?an, who has more plausible grounds for contesting tho election. We nro willing if Hogo was frnudulenty cloc ted for Gen McGownu to take the ?eat, but we are totally opposed to his taking it on any other grounds. Let the Democratic party do right, no matter what Republicans may do. Corruption may flourish for awhile, but it is sufc ultimately to bring des truction in its train* However much we may desire a voico in Congross, lot it bo obtaiued fairly or never. NEWS ITEMS, Gen. Longstrect'is in very bad health. His right leg is crippled by disenso, and his sufferings hnveleft their marks upon his face. John Chcstunt, representative,from Kcrshaw, died in Camden on. Christ mas day from an "excessive use of spirituous liquors" The Coopatrick was recently burn ed nt sea, and out of four hundred and twenty four pasongers only three arc known to have survived- * The New York Times soya that South Carolina, a slate in which the masses "cannot read aud write, expen ded for public printing $80 000 more than the great state of New York did in 1873. Congress seems to be divided upon the subject of refunding the cotton tax which has been declared to be uncon stitutional. The best proposition yet made is that of Mr. Smith of North Coroltna which is to use it as far as it can go towards liquidating the debts of the Southern States. Only one colored man will occupy a sent in the United States Senate, in the next Congress, and his will be that once occupied by Hon. Jeff Davis. Of tho 175 Congressmen elected this fall, but four aro colored.
