The evidence in the content case between Mackay and O'Connor has been going on for tho past few days in various parts of our County. Mack ay represents himself, but Mr. O'Connor, who is attending to the interests of his constituents in (.'on gross, is represented by Mr. M. I. Browning, Capl. Samuel Dibble and others. At the Court House Mr. Browning brought out from the wit nesses the most convincing evidence in favor of Mr. O'Connor. At St. Matthews and other places Mack ay sought to make capital out of a campaign letter of the School Com missioner, but signally failed, there being nothing in the letter but an ap peal to the intelligent portion of the colored race, in thu interest of the rising generation, to support the Democratic party which gave lliciii better schools and honestly expend ed the school money, and-the subse quent non-partisan action of the School Commissioner, an Mr. Dib ble clearly showed, completely anni hilates the tlitnsy charge. Mack ay or his accomplices, Webster A* < o., of Orangeburg, published the letter during the campaign in a Radical paper in Charleston. The Bads arc at liberty" to peg awity at the letter untiWloomsdny, but we defy them to make one iota of capital out of it. J. L. Humbert, the very colored man to whom, we understand, the letter used by Mack ay at Ft. Motte was ad dressed,and wdio must have delivered it up for the purpose, is teaching a public school in Lyons Township.and regularly draws his salary from the Democratic school administration. Maekay is also making all the eh pi tal lie can but of the action of the Agricultural Society in expelling Mr. AY. A. Hoffman from the Society. The testimony of some of the colored men, especially of those examined by Mr. Browning at the Court House fell liko a bombshell into the Radical camp. If Mackay expects to get into Congress, it is certain his chances are 'much better on a partisan vote than on tho evidence. _ .- i. 11 ? i-... .i, i in i ? n i SEItATO RIAL PA THON ACE. Senator libseoe Conkliug of New York is making a tempest in a tea pot because he was hot consulted by PresidentGarllcld in the appoint ment of the Collector of the Tort of Now York. He says that it is a violation of Senatorial courtesy, and he intends to appeal to Coogress, cit ing the case of Blaine, who, xs Sena tor from Maine, prevented the con firmation by Congress of an appoint ment in his State byPrusident Have?, because he was uot consulted. Ho claims that it is a precedent, and should not be violated. Xow, in our estimation, this whole thing is wrong. Tho President is responsible for his appointments, and while it is right for him to ob tain information from all sources t hat he thinks proper, he is not borrrid by any man, or by any precedent. He has the right, to be advised by any of the people whom he may select as well as by a Senator. He is not President to foster and gratify the petty animosities of any Senator, and if he finds that the Senator from any State has solar belittled himself as to bold in his breast such feelings of favoritism and enmity in regard to his constituents, it is his duty, as President to avoid him in making Iiis appointments. What we say of the President, applies with equal force t.o the Governor of a Slate. The practice of causing ;|'l appointments, to pass through the Senator puls too much patronage in his hands. Here is just where civil service reform i. nceded. The whole slate is made up at political tea parties, just as was done at the Mentor Privy Council in w hich GaiTicld, Blaine and Conk ling were the chief actors, ami the Senator is the peg. upon which the tiling is sot. J lo holds the curds rind plays them when the proper time comes. More political rascality is carried on in this way than iu any ollier. Down we say with all such star-chamber tactics and political rings. It is this patronage business that has earrupled our government. is 'mi; tiiVk turning J It "ir most encouraging to see that a sprinkling at, least, of immigrants has been felt in our State. There is I evidently some little turning of the j tide. Col. Butler has beeu very suc ' ecwsful in the past few mouths in j inducing a few immigrants to settle I iu our borders. I j The true plan fof the eneonrage-i lineutof immigration in our State is I to settle colouios in different acetiouB, laud for the State to aid and foster j tuese settlements. Foreigners like I losetlle together, as is very natural Tliey arc often kindred and friends. ; and don't like lo be separated and 'cut off from each other. They do not feel so much like strangers in a strange land when tliey can have intercourse with their countrymen. Isolated, they ^ill become homesick, and dissatisfied. The superintend ent of Immigration is j list appointed ami we hope he has the experience and the energy to work this subject to a success. There is nothing that we can conceive of more, important t han the introduction of immigrants. Ton much cannot be said upon the matter. Our fanners ought to do all tliey can to encourage it, and our legislators 0fight not to lie afraid to act; AYe can see no possible hope for South Carolina outside of immigration. We speak strongly because wc feel what we say. Wo can't work against na ture forever. The strain upon us is too great. "We want help. We must have lair elections, ami we must have good government too. KEV.V VOLK LQUILinRIl.'M. T Ii undoings in Congress for a month past have been exceedingly childish and unbecoming. It seems to ho the idea of many of the mem bers that the Senator who can do the most bully ing has nchh vod tlie greatest honor. It is no uncommon t hing ibrVmc Senator to accuse an other of saying what is false and for another to retaliate by saying that his brother Senator utters that which is unbecoming a gentleman and a brave man. jNow what is the use of all (his? What do epithets amount to? If one fails to prove what be says against us, there is nothing to irri tate. The successful opponent is he who preserves bis equilibrium. It is argument?clear and free argu ment that conquers, aud not vain ami turbulent epithets. lie, who stands like a rock, unshaken by the waves of error that, break upon him, will always come out victorious. Wc fear that many of our Congressmen allow their feelings and their tem pers"! o got away with their reason and good judgment, KNOCKING AGAIN*. The Washington correspondent of the Now York Herald sends to that paper the astonishing dispatch that I). T. Corhiri has vrrilon a letter to Senator Hoar instructing him to take his case from the Committee on Privileges and rlections, and bring it before the Senate for action. He is stih knocking at the door of Congresb for entrance to the. seat of Senator Butler, encouraged, doubtless, by the changed political complexion of that body. The deadlock in the Senate of the United States slid continues with little prbspect of a speedy relief. The stalwart Hciiublicans bold a caucus on Monday, n'ifd determined to keep il up indelinately. The Democrats tire equally determined, if they can help it, that the traitor Mallono and his man "-{iditlebarger shall not reap tlie ail vtiii (ages ofthcii treachery. It. is hard to tell where tlie end will be. The Governor has advertised for Surveyors to remark the line between North and South Carolina about iiall-way from the coast to the moun tains. Two Germans came from Minne sota last week bringing with them iboilt $'2000 each with which to set tle in South Carolina. A few Swiss emigrants also came, which was the urst of that nationality during tlie immigration campaign. the ]U:adl6ck.
