D. H. Chamberlain Indicted.
Evidence Discovered of his Complicity in
the Famous llcll-llole Swindle.
Columbia, November G.? The
Court of General Sessions met at 10
A. M. The cus<i of tho State vs.
Sallio Williams, murder, was tried;
verdict not guilty. Tbc defendant
was charged with tho murder of her
new born babo. At tho conclusion
of this cause tho grand jury was cull
ed, and a little ripple of excitement
occasioned by the solicitor handing
to Ihe grand jury quite a bulky look
ing indictment iu tho case of the
State vs. T>. H.Chamberlain et al.,
charging them with conspiracy to
cheat the State. Tho solicitor stated
that ho had two witnesses?Messrs.
DeSaus8ure nndCochran?who would
now go beforo them, and if their
testimony was not considered suffi
cient he had another whom he ex
pected to-morrow morning.
Judge Pressley said to the grand
jury that they had all doubtless heard
that the Stale, i-oine years ago, had
appropriated a Urge ium of money
for the purchase of homes for colored
men. He told tho jury that they
must disregard everything that they
had heard about this land commis
hou business, and must direct their
investigation exclusively to determ
ining whether the persons charged iu
the indictment, 0. P. Leslie, D. H.
Chamberlain, II. H. K imp ton and
Miles G- Parker, had conspired to
cheat the State by purchasing a tract
of land in Charleston County, fur
which they actually paid a certain
sum, and returned it to the State as
having been purchased at. a much
larger sum. In oilier word-; laying
aside all prejudice, they were to d< -
termino whether there was enough
evidence before thom to warrant a
trial of the defendants by a petit jury,
for having, cither as land commission
ers, or as the advisory board ol the
land commission, conspired together
to cheat the Stato out of the differ
ence between the price they actually
paid for the said land and the
amount they pretended If) have paid,
as charged iu the indictment. If
tho testimony then produced before
them was sufficient to convince them
that the defendants should be
tried by a petit jury for t he offence
charged agninst them they should
find a true bill, and, if not, should
hold the matter over until to-morrow,
when another witness would bo sent
before them. Messrs. DeSaussure
and John It. Cochran were then
sworn, and the grand jury retired.
The trial of Keziah Burke, for arson,
was then begun.
The grairl jury this evening return
ed a true bill againt D H. Chamber
lain etal., indicted to-day for perpe
trating n land commission swindle.
The solicitor stated that he would
enter a nol prjB. as to Neaple and
Parker. It is expected that requisi
tions will bo sent on at once. The
testimony is said to be conclusive as
to the guilt of all the purties, Cham -
berlain included.
[Chamberlain lias telegraphed
Attorney-General Voumaus that he
will attend his trial at Columbia of
his own will and requests to be in
formed when his presence will be re
quired. This affected innocence is
( illy a dodge for the Northern eye.
Chamberlain knows he is guilty and
will be convicted if tried.]
The Elective Franchise.
a proposed effort to repeal
un i verbal suffrage?the
negro vote a thorn in
the side ok th e
radical.
Washington, October 30?Pub
licity has already been given to the
suggestion that some day in the not
remote future the Republican party
would be disposed lo tako the elective
franchise from the colored people.
Honest Republicans in CongreiB or
out of it never made any secret of the
fact that the real object of tho party
in conferring negro suffrage was to
strengthen and perpetuate its hold
upon tho government. In this tho
Republicans have been wofully disap
pointed. Tho practical result of
their efforts has been to give to their
opponents thirty-five additional votei
in the electoral college and House of
jiepmentntives. The deliberate
manufacture of wholsule calumnies
Upon the South in this and iu former
enmpaigns cannot make a solid
North, although Ulms carried on iu
thuthope. The next move, therefore,
of the diecomlitted Republicans will
bo to take away the boon which they
conferred upon the negro. By ad
vices received hereto-day from South
Carolina, it is learned that Gov.
Hampton, in a late speech, proclaim
ed that he had been upproached by
prominent Uepublicaua, among thorn
a .brother-in-law of n Cabiueut officer,
with propositions to deprive tho
negro of his vote. Such propi sitions
were of course indignantly rejected
by Gov. Hampton. If Gov. Hamp
ton consistently can do so, he ought
to j/ive the names ot these Repuhli

Hugh S. Thompson, State Superintendent,
(at time of writing, as now, Principal Colum
bia Male Academy), says:
"Sanford'fl Arithmetics are superior to
nny that I have seen in the fullness of tho
examples, the clearness and simplicity of
ihe analyses, and theaKTxrrnry of the rules
md delitdlions. This opinion is based upon
a full and thorinujh te*t in the school.room.
To tho*e teachers who may examine these
Arithmetics with reference to introduction,
I would especially commend 'die treatment
of Percentage and Profit and Ix>ss. No
text-hooks tfmt I have ever used are so
satisfactory to-teachers and pupils."
