WAsH1NGToN's ORDER George
Washington would not allow the
Tories of the Revolution to be plum
dered. Wonder how many of our
modern heroes ever read this order:
General Washington strictly for
bids all the officers and soldiers of the
Continental army, of the militia, and
all recruiting parties, plundering any
person whatever, Tories or others.
And 1t is expected that humanity and
tenderness to women and children
will distinguish brave Americans, con-
tending for liberty, from infamous
savages, whether British or Hessians.
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

CABLE OPERAT1oNs.-The New
York E.rpress remarks that some of
the operations which have already
resulted from the use of the Atlantic
telegraph. are sufficient to show the
immense changes in the commercial
relations of Europe and America,
which will be brought about through
that channel. For example: A firm
in Liverpool, on Tuesday last, sent
an order to house in this city for a
cargo of grain; on the following
Thursday, the New York firm sent
back a telegram that the grain had
been purchased, put on board ship,
and that the bills Of lading would be
forwarded by the steamer of Satur-
day, and the amount drawn for. In
ordinary times it would have re-
quired at least six weeks to do as
much as this; while in the old times,
before steamship, it would have re-
quired full three months.

CIVIL WAR BEGUN IN ISDIANA.-A
special to the New York Herald, from

special to the New York Herald, from
Indianapolis, on Wednesday, says:
\ state of affairs bordering on civil
war exists in the neighboring County
of Hendricks. At Danyille, last Sa-
turday, the radicals attempted to
break up Democratic meeting, and
a riot occurred, in which stones,
clubs, pistols, guns and knives were
used. Several men were wounded,
some of whom are said to have died.
Rumors are in circulation that a
force was organizing in other por-
tions Of Hendricks and from the
Eastern part Of this County, to march
on Danville and put that place in a
state Of siege. The roads are said to
be picketed and citizens arming for
defence.
On Sunday night, in the little town
Of Amoe, Hendricks County, mob
OF about 100 radicals, headed by an
old man named Edwards, surrounded
the house of Victor Proussell, the
only Democrat in the place. The
only objection to him is that he sup
ported President johnson, and is the
only national man in the place, and
it is feared by the radicals that he will
be appointed postmaster.

LIABILITY OF HOTEL KEEpERs.-
The Court of Appeals of Maryland
has recently decided an interesting
case. The law of Maryland provides
that q hotel keeper may protect him.
self from liability for money, plate,
and jewelry, by requiring his guests
to deposit such articles in his care.
The proprietor of the NIaltby House,
OF Baltimore, was sued for ninety
dollars in money, and the value of
a watch, watch-guard, and pocket
book stolen from a guest. The court
decided that the hotel keeper must
pay for the stolen articles, saving
that q guest must be allowed to keep
about him such an amount Of money
as was necessary for his personal
expenses at the risk of the proprietor,
and that the other articles must be
paid for also, because they were
neither money, plate nor iewelry. y

his rsceptionvat various points have
been;marked with an unprecedented
enthnsiasns on the part of his fellow
citizens. AS the Richmond Times
says, there is a significance in these
manifestations of popular affection,
esteem and veneration, that cannot
be mistaken or nisrepresented.
The country Is in political situa-
ton which is without parallel in its
own history, or that of any other
nation In q confederscy of States,
some OF its members, dissatisfen with
the way the affairs of the concern
were managed, undertook to with
draw from it, and for four years put
forth all their resources, energies and
means to do so; but the remaining
partners proved too strong in muscle
and resources, and accomplished their
object, in bringing back under ''the
old flag" those so-called erring South
ern sisters. After thoroughly subduing
them-after compelling them to re-
nounce the heresy (so-ealled) ofseces-
sion, and emancipate their slaves-a
party Of fanatics i'll Congress broke
their plighted faith, and refused the
Southern States re-admission to the
old household.
President Johnson, carrying out the
implied and expressed contract be-
tween the General Government and
the seeding States, opened the door
of the Union to the latter on certain
stipulated conditions. The condi-
tions were accepted, but the Presi-
dent found himself unable to give
the representatives from the South
ern States their seats in the National
Legislature. From the death of his
predecessor up to this hour, he has
fought with that narrow-minded and
unprincipled faction for the rights of
the Southern people and the tho
rough restoration of the Union.
He is still waging that glorious war
fare against the enemies of his coun-
try, and it is matter of high gratifi-
cation to observe, in the course of
his present tour, how much of the
heart of the people is with him in his
glorious mission. The present pill
grimage of the President to the tomb
of Douglas bids fair to give the death
blow to radicalism. AS he says in
the speech we publish, the country
is coming together, and the radicals
who are trying to perpetuate their
party had better stand out of the
way.

COLUMBIA.
Tuesday Morning, Sept. a, 1888.
Relief for the People.


Public meetings have been held I'd
many of the Districts of this State in
relation to the existing pecuniary
difficulties under which our people
are now laboring. At all these, We
believe, without exception. the Go
vernon was requested to convene q
special session Of the Legislature.
To take this subject, with other mat
ters Of grave and pressing Importance.
into consideration, he has, by procla-
nation, convened the Legislature to
meet this evening. In his message,
the Governor will doubtless recon-
mend such action as the exigencies OF
the times may demand.
But we regret to see by the pro-
eeedings of some of The meetings,
that it is expected the Legislature, as
one mode of relief, will shield the
debtor, for time at least, from the
usual legal process for collecting just
claims. This is all wrong Our high
est State court has, very properly, we
think, pronounced the old 'Stay
Law" unconstitutional, and in no
way can the Legislature pass any law
which+tend to impair the obligation
of contracts. The Constitution of
the State and of the United States
prohibit any such legislation, and
there are no possible contingencies
that could arise which would justify
legislative body il interfering with
contract made between Individuals
II they can say 20 creditor, you
must not collect debt justly due to
you before your debtor is able to
pay. they can with as great propriety
step in, and nullify private contracts
OF any nature. Such legislation
would not be submitted to by the
people, and yet we hear the thought
less clalnor for Legislative interven-
ton to deprive one party of his just
f1gnts under speclhed contract for
the benefit of the other. If this be
not injustice, we do not know what
other appellation to term it by.
Reputation is word not known
in the vocabulary of the people of
South Carolina, and the seeking
relief. even temporary, from the pay
ment of a just debt, is nothing but
repudiation. The honor of the indi-
v1dual citizen is just as valuable, and
ought to be equally preserved from
all stain as that of the State. We
have no idea that the Legislature will
attempt to exercise an unconstitu-
tional power, and it is merely to show
to those who expect relief in the way
referred to, that any such legislation
is impracticable.

A Picture OF New Eaglnnd.

| A Picture OF New Eaglnnd.
The following picture of New Eng.
land was drawn by Gen. George w.
Morgan in speech at mass meet.
ing. maderecently by him, at Coshoc-
ton, Ohio:
r. No man is more ready than myself
to do Justice to New England, for all
that Now England deserves. Irespect
her intelligence, but deprecate her
selfshness and her fanaticism. I
admire her energy, her ingenuity.
and her enterprise, but cannot com
mend her egotistical intolerance, nor
that sordid selfishness which would
1mposerish every other State, and
people, Tor her ownpecnliar benefit.
l am proud of the names Of Greene,
of Warren, of Starke- -of the Han
cocks. the Adamses, the Websters.
the Pierees, the. Woodhurys. and the
Choates; butt should hesitate long
before l could commend, as models
OF statesrnanship. or patriotism, the
Summers, the Wilson's, the'Garrisons,
and the Phillipses, who, as the
agents of the lordly manufacturers,
control our country. Then, when I
say New England, I mean the e4tor>
TONERS, the Pharisees, the pretenders,
whose malign influence. 1ike the
breath of the upas- tree, contami-
mates, poisons, and corrupts sall that
1t touches.
And it is with modification that l
here confess, that not only we
Ohioans. but that our fellow-c citizens
OF all the agricultural States, are
ruled, aye, l say are ruled, by New
England.
In late speech in the Senate, bv
distinguished Ohio Senator-himself
native of our State, but an offshot
from New England-while asking to
be allowed to place the offering Of his
Submission upon the footstool of New
England, he truthfully remarked:
New England is ut this moment
not only represented by her twelve
Senators, but by six or eight more,
who are sons of New England, who
moved to the West, and carried with
them their religion, their principles,
and, Ill some cases, their wives;
where they did not, we. provided
wives for them. They came back
here as Senators, and now stand here
to vote New England ideas and New
England principles" Applause.
Let us consider for a moment this
compliment paid to New England by
an Ohio Senator. From whence
came the Hon. Columbus Delano,
Ihaddeus Stevens, Benjamin F.
Wade and Judge Trumbull?
They are, one and an, the native
t born children OF New England, and
they have gone to Congress, not to
represent Ohio, nor Pennsylvania,
nor Illinois, but, in the expressive
language of Senator Sherman, ssto
vote New England ideas and New
England principles.
And so completely is New Eng
land enthroned, so firmly is our vas
salage established, that we, men of
Ohio, are taxed to make gift of
bounties to the cod fishers of Massa-
chusetts and Connecticut. And in
return, generous New England, un-
selfish New England, condescends to
impose q duty of few cents per
pound on wool, while she, with n
modesty only equalled by her disinte-
rested philanthropy, is satisfied with
hundred per cent for herself!
Then, Ohioans-men of the young
and mighty West-I appeal to your
manhood, to Your sclf-respect, to
your love for your homeland, to
break the shackles which the schemers
of New England have thrown around
u.s.

Ten years ago q voicc vas heard In tho
Northwest which made the slave power
quake with fear. II was the forty thousand
majority given for John G. Fremont In North
crn Illinois. At every. succeeding biennial
election save one, that voice has been heard
in tones Of Increasing volume and potency,
uutil now the on1y question that can arise
affecting the result Of any State cleo
will come to the polls. During the ten
ycars which have passed since Fremont and
B!seell received such an enormous vote In
Northern Illinois, the Republican cause has
been gaining in other portions Of the State,
until We can confidently hope to carry tho
two Congressional Districts in the extreme
south, fronting the Ohio aud Mississippi riv-
crs. With such m accession TO our etren:th
there Is danger that the Old Gard may be
of their guard at the critical momcnt-that
they may be lulled Into fanc,ed and 'atal
security when they ought TO be at their
posts, fghting the enemy. We call upon
them to be nt tho polls On Tues
