GENERAL GRANT ON THE BUREAU
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald writes:
A report was made to the Freed
mems Bureau, short time ago, by
an agent at Annapolis, Md, of inter
ferences with the operations of the
Bureau at that place by the white
citizens. General Howard presented
the report to Gen. Augur, command
ing this military department., and
asked for company Of white troo ps
to assist the agent in the discharge of
his official duties. General Aueur re-
ferred the matter to General Grant,
with whom General Howard had a
personal interview General Grant
declined to furnish the troops, on the
ground that Maryland was not one of
the lately insurrectionary States, in
which the army is required to sup
port the Bureau, and, moreover, that
he was opposed to the interference of
the military wherever it could be
avoided, such interference only tend
ing to increase the evils it attempts
to allay, and excitcs the people to
increased bitterness.

Sunday Morning, August s, 1886.
The Position OF South caroiina..

The Position OF South Cnroiima.
We publish, this morning, by re-
quest of that body, the official pro-
ccedingssof the Convention OF dele
gates from the various Districts of
this State, which met in Columbia on
the 1st instant. 3"
From this official record, ear read
ers. outside of the State may learn
correctly the true position of the
people Of South Carolina at this juno
ture Of our political affairs. No State
in the Union has been more misrep-
resented, slandered and wilfully be-
lied, than South Carolina, and it is
highly. proper. that this authoritative
record should go forth to repel these
slanders and misrepresentation. The
position of her people. as thus an
nounced, is clear and unmistakable,
and he who hereafter may seek to
question their loyalty to the Govern
ment, or their adherence to the great
principles of the Constitution, would
not blush to defame the virtue of his
own mother -
There are no long-winded resolu-
tions, no discussion of past issues, no
re affirmation OF doctrines which have
been said to be peculiar to the poll
tics Of she people of South Carolina.
The simple action of the Convention
is embraced in these half dozen lines:
That this Convention approves
the restoration policy of President
johnson as opposed to the radical
pohcy OF Congress, and that we ac-
cept the invitation to unite with the
conservatives Of the country in the
National Convention to be held at
Philadelphia, on the 14th of August. ''s
Such is the s'platform, . such the
only declaration of principles put
forth by the people of South Carolina
in Conyvntion assembled. Their most
prejudieed political enemies can find
no fault or flaw in this manifesto
comprasedin single sentence. Those
who expected bluster and a meaning
less string of political declarations
have been disappointed; and those as
well, among her friends and admirers
who expected what they might call
"a manly declaration of principles,
have also been disappointed; but the
disappointment of the latter will, on
calm reflection, give place to appro
baton of the line of policy adopted.
The fact is, these representatives of
the people We're delegated for n ccr
tam purpose-their constituents de-
s4red to be represented in the Phila-
deiphia Convention, and they did no
more than to provide for such repre-
scntation and declare their approval
OF the policy of the President. In
carrying out the first part of their
duty, the delegates, n selecting our
representatives., have chosen the right
KIND OF men, some Of the ablest and
most conservative in the State-man
who will discharge the trust commit
ted to them in such manner as will
command the approval of those who
confided in them.

& Brothers, New York, and yet their
regular periodical publications exceed
any other In Yankee literature in
their studied malignant villifcation
OF these same Southern people
This is n strange inconsistency, nor
can we account for it in any way, and
the inconsistency becomes more
glaring when we know the fact that
after oil we have suffered as people,
that support is still given to these
periodicals by Southerners, who turn
deaf ear to the application of
agents from the Offices of DeBow' s
Recie'o, the Crescent Monthly and the
elegant weekly family papers which
have been started ut the South since
the close of the war.
It is burning shame, and a severe
reproach to the patriotism, literary
taste and appetite of our people, that
Harpers' Weekly should find single
purchaser in the Southern States.
OF all the radical papers published,
none can equal this in the coarseness
OF its abuse and misrepresentation of
the Southern people, both in its let
ter press and its disgusting wood
cuts; as an exchange says, s'there is
nothing among us too sacred to be-
come the objects of their coarse
satire and heartless burlesque. Week
after week they traduce all whom we
love amongt the living, aud pollute, by
their Shiny touch, the memory of all
whom We cherish among the dead"
1t has been we'll and pithily said, that
had this disgraceful sheet been pub
hshed during our Savour's stay upon
earth, 1T would have given its readers
burlesque of the miracles and
caricature of the crucifixion.
But not alone in their monthly and
weekly publications do these base
publishers poison the minds of hun
dreds and thousands Of renders
throughout the country, but in every
publication of more permanent
character that issues from the press.
The Now York Herald gives severe
criticism of one of the most recent
of these, entitled ''pictorial history
of the rebellion;" we presume, q re-
hash of their weekly lying carica-
lures. The Herald says, in relation
to the pictorial part of this work:
"With regard to the so-calle,l Dor
traits Of eminent men. and q portion
of the illustrations, we cannot speak
so well. They have very cheap
shoddy stamp about them, and look
fearfully ghastly. The Southern men,
especially, have painfully forbidding
portraits; whether purposely made
so or not, we cannot say. II SO, it
would bc i'll keeping with the spirit
Of the work and with the purpose,
probably, of pandering to the taste
and prejudice of people by making
all the Soutlerncrs look like ghastly,
hard-featurcd conspirators and muir
derers.'' -
How c'"l the Southern people sup
port such publishing house? 1t
may appear waste of paper and ink
to thus repeatedly admonish the
Southern people against the intro
duction of such publications into
their households. But, rs journal
lists, it is our dulv: and, having done
this, whatever evil may bcfall from
the baleful influences of such family
reading, our skirts will be clear of
any guilt in the premises.

The South tn tho Presidential Esec-
X >tiOra, sas-,-

+.
The following, from the Wishing
ton Rspnbliean, (the, .President's Or
gan,) in its issue Of Wednesday, last,
is pretty plain talk, and indicates the
policy that will be adopted in the
event of any attempt to defraud the
Southern States of their votes in the
next Presidential election:
1t will be recollected by our readers
that we intimated suspicion several
months ago that the radical members
OF Congress had entered into a con-
spiracy against the Constitution to
shut out the electoral vote, in 1888.
OF certain Southern States. and that
about month ago we stated more
clearly what it was. AS no Senator,
Representative, or radical newspaper
has presumed to deny the allegation.
we take it to have been true.
1t is plot that cannot be carried
out with impunity. We do not be-
lleve it can be consummated without
bloodshed. At all events, if the cleo
toral votes of the States thus unlaw-
fully excluded will elect candidate
for President who shall not be elected
without them, the people will find q
way to have them counted, by put
ting the proper President elect into
the Executive Office, aud maintaining
HIM there by force, if necessary.
The exclusion of ten States from
representation in Congress goes to
the utmost verge of public forbear-
ance. No further outrage can, in our
opinion, be superadded to it, without
breaking the public peace and expos
ing the country to the horrors Of
another civil war, in which the peo-
pie of the excluded States would have
the sympathy of the civilized world.
