7" THE MACKET CONTEST.
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.

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.
