Manifesto from the South Carolina Re-
pubIicans.

puDlicanS.
To tie Republicans Of South Caroliaa:
.sLet as hare peace" So says our great
and good leader, General Grant. So say all
coed Republicans. So say we. the under.
signed members Of the Republican party in
Snuth Carolina. We hold that the Republi
can party is cnphaticaly the party Of peace
and quiet, of law and order. We hold tha.
any laan who Will commit or encourage
violence or lawlessEess, is a criminal, and
merits the unqualified condemnation. of all
good Republicans. We censurc, without re-
serve all the recent acts of violence; not on.
" the horrible, murders of Martin, Randolph
aud Nance Of our own party, but also the
firing upon Ward at Newberry, and the acts
OF ncendiarism a. Abteyille and elsewhere.
II Republicans have been engaged in any Of
these on;ragcS, We denuunce tLe.n as false to
the principles of t.r party, nni as criminals
Justly merlling the s-verest penalties OF the
law. Violence il only justified in self:defence,
and never in retaliation or Tor revenge. 1t is
the business OF the law to punish crimes, and
not of individuals.
We hail with satisfaction the address of
the Democratic State Central Committee as
We will gladly unite with the leaders OF the
Democratic party in d ing all in onr power
to prevent incendiary language, TO preserve
tn, peace, to maintain order, and to assert
the supremacy of the laws. We nrge upon
the leaders and Speakers in the Republican
party the necessity Of di>countcnancing and
condemniug violence on all occasions. We
call upon every member of the Republican
party white Or colored, to abstain from all
acts of retaliation and violence, and to do all
in his power to have the guilty persons ar
rested and punished, whether they be Repub
lcans or Democrats. Let not the good name
and noble principles Of the Republican party
be tarnisbed by acts Of bloodshed or other
crimes. Let it be seen that the Republican
party of the South, like that Of the great Re.
publican party o. the North, is the earnest
and consistent advocate Of law and order, of

Of citizens. AS the cityis quiet to day, l.
think it proper time to make the above an

citizeps to aid me hereafter in carrying out
these instructions, and to that end they are
earnestly requested to refrain from assembling
il large bodies on the streets, to avoid exclt-
ing conversation and other causes Of irrita.
tion and excitement and to pursue their Or
dinary vocations as usual. Theipolice force
of the city has been re organized and ineti-
cient members, have been dropped from the
rolls and others appointed in their places, and
Gen. j. B. Steedmsn appointed Chief Of po-
lice pro tenn BY the. Board Of Police Commis-
sioners. Gen. Steedman;; and his police force
will be supported by the military, and assur-.
ance is given alike to the peaceful and the
lawless that everything at my command and
to the utmost of my ability will be used in
the endeavor TO obey these instructions. For
the present, political professions patrolling
the streets by armed men are prohibited.

was dismissed. The Board had previously
endorsed Chief Williamson in the case for
which he was dismissed. General Steedman,
