The Boot On The Other Leg. -- The United States Court very properly appointed a referee to take testimony in the South Carolina Railroad tax cases; whereupon the Columbia Union blurts out that this looks very like 'a strike at the State Government.' This is always the way with these Radical sheets. A judge is a righteous judge when his decisions agree with their notions, and a very scoundrel when he ventures to differ from them. The Union could not say too much for Judge Bond when he was sending ship-loads of poor wretches to the Albany Penitentiary, and he is as worthy of confidence and respect now as he was then, whatever the Union may say. -- Charleston News.
