THE SOUTH CAROLINA PLVNnKB - EBS. , V - The. former TreaBarer ' of Sooth Carol matiin Radical .tiinep, Niles G. Parker,; now living ! in - New Jersey, has made a Tall statement or confes sion in leard to the rascalities of the Radical thieves in Sooth t Carolina. The interview is published in the New York; fForMand occupies nearly fourcolamns of thai paper. Parker confeHscs his own complicity" in ' the stealing, and tiaplicatea Chamberlain, Scott,'-; Moses,'.' Patterson, fKlmpton, Cardoza ami the rest of the Tognisb set. t' It ts terrible, a shocking revela tion of natural depravity and Radi cal rascality. Chamberlain was in for it strongly and hadlus arms down : t. -r 1.1 l. t; - . t in (.lie put. ui gum up ! 111a 3jr ei bows;" The' whole story: is remarka ble, and is no doubt true in all of the main particulars. , . ,- r If this shameful exposure does not, open the eyes of the Northern people wider than cer as to the extent and character of the rascalities' and plun dering of the carpet-bag thieves who infested the South, and1 who ate np the substance of the people, we know not what will awaken them.'' South Carolina was plundered awfully, and' so was North Carohna'and Louisiana,' and all the other States.. The Repub lican party has a terrible sin to answer forf - It ; has exhibited a reckless nes8r.a 5 stupidity,': a malignity, a cruelty that is something marvel loua. It turned loose its swarms of roguea and plunderers upon the South to de stroy and consume aud pillage, and when the ' Southern people : became uneasy, rebellious or restive under such inflictions, then the most awful lies were invented by the scoundrels, against our people, and Grant came down upon them with his blue coats and his bayonets. f Oh, how' the South ought to love Radicalism! flow it ought' to cherish in its heart of hearts Grant, Cameron, Morton, Butler, Blaine, ; Edmnnds; ' and the other leaders. - . ;. North Carolina was pillaged for six years,- or tnore, 1 just as South Carolina was, and more than ten mil lion of dollars were stolen from "the people by . the Northern scoundrels, aided and abetted bv: home thieves. who came as Uie Egyptian locusts and lice came1 upou the' land of. the Pharaohs. ; T day, living- in t our .State, are men who grew rich 'out' of the plunder they got in the lays of riotous living and universal thieving Can Tiey be reached ! now ? If 80, they ought to be tried for their high crimes and misdemeanors. - If - we only. had a Parker now 'who 'would "a tale unfold,4 what a flattering it would majce in Ahe Radical dovecote. : Mr.' Stoughton, v in - his reply ?-to Judge Black, tries to make out that Ins charges of corruption and steal ing did not amount to much.: ; Altoi gether SLonghton seems to' have re garded the Paekards, iCIiamberlaius & Co. as a precious set of very raeri , torious, honorable, and injured indi ' vidoals. How Judge llack will, lar rup him with the scorpion of troth, and how Parker's confession Will be come a club in his 'strong hands to braiu the superserviceable apologistl, The1 sum stolen in South Carolina; we believe aggregated, not less than ten million dollars. ; To-day wejean not enter into particulars. We have only1 space for the following part of , Parker's testimony concerning Cham berlain,' a -specimen carpet-bagger: J' "Dar'iD these six years tbe 'corruption nd peculation increased yearly, sad it is idle to attempt to palliate or deny It. V 'If Oie present investigation iu South Carolina is pushed the extent of tbe corruption will le laid bare, and all who were partleB to it : ... " .Jo TP.'!

ForUhftmber 1q and Kimpton tu deny tbal -they were privy to what was going on is simply absurd. Some things, undoubtedly, Chamberlain had no hand in directly; though they were done under , hia mwe, and he enostv have known.abtiut them In trtthrr transactions his name did not pjenr, but there can be no question Uml tie was coucirned in lhem in some way. : In ojher cases still he reaped a direct heuefit from his co operation. ; I VTake the case of the Marine and River Phosphate Mining Company. .The stock of the company- was owned largely hytnem-' beraof the ring, and CuamherUta held one- II flee i. tli of it It was $5U0,(JO0, 1 Relieve, in all, 8u ihat Chamberlain's share of the stock was $32,200. Tim Harley, Chamber Iain's right-band man, and the treasurer of Charleston county, lobbed the bills- for its benefit through the Legislature. Then there was the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. Tbe tolls passed in connection; with this road -were notoriously, disreputable. Its capital stock was held in twelve shares I think, Of $25,000 each.

He is a judicial partisankiand has de cided a grave iolitical question ac cording to party bias. -This we believe' most sincerely. But Jo has published a defence. ' in .which - he makes the strance coniession inat ne naa no decided convictions about the F lorida matter, that he fluctuated from day today and hour to hour swinging like a pendulum from this side to that side writing this time on one side, 'and then the same day writing an opin ion on the other side, and thus like the ass between two bundles uf fod der, knowing not which to choose, or how - to decide. Whether I he was bribed is the question. ' This he de nies. . That he actdd in bad faith to wards his conscience And the country we have no doubt, t That he was bought up to act as he did is more than we know. : He denies that any carriages ' surrounded his residence, and declares that "not a single visitor called athiB (ray) house." 4 No one questions his right to. change his mind, provided be made an honest change. No one questions his right to put his opinion on paper but his vacillation, his uncertainty, his -shifting from- side to .Bide shows that he has an indifferent judicial mind that is unstable, and is easily led captive by every wind of doc trine.. The Baltimore Gazette says: "If, therefore, ilia true ihat outside in fluence was not brought to bear upon him, no charge of actual corruption can properly He against liim.' In this respect Mr. Brad ley's defense seems to us to be a sufficient one, and should be accepted as such until it shall be shown that tbe facts are not as be stales them." . . I ' I But if. be was not bribed or unduly influenced to do as he did, he will find it very difficult to explain how; it was he tested ! Louisiana by one rnle and Florida by another rule- how it was that "sadce for the goose was not sauce 'for s the4' gander. jnln "ether words, he has not' told how ho came to vote with the "Democrats "in allow iog JIumphreys,.elector from Florida,'. to be eligible, i when i no doubt had been raised,: but wheo; the chse of the Louisiana electors came up lie refused to hear '.the evidence, lie readily hears , evidence ' 'where, '. there is .no" doubt, and evidence is pot necessary, but will not bear evidence wben here is doubt, and when evidence is indis pensable. 'Tlie Cas, commenting upon this singular inconsistency, well says; '. "Here .was an inconsistency which the vacillation to which be says be was sub 1 ect does not at all explain: for it r is impossible that he could hare honestly believed that the principle or law -was not tho same in both cases, since both were identical.- Mr. Bradley, silling on the Supreme" Bench. would never dare to commit such an absur dity. The truth of the matter is that whatr ever ins secret rerauonswto the Republican consDirators fnav have been. Mr. Bradlev displayed from 'the first, not . desire to gel at .Ine truth, but to discover some plausible pretext for shutting it out, and it was the difficulty of doing this which gave him so much anxiety.
