MARTIAL LAW.

The people of the South do not appear
TO appreciate the condition they are IN
at this time. There is trouble Tor them
in the future, if the news from Washing
ton is true. Martial law is about to be
proclaimed in some parts of South Car
DINA and probably in some other South
ern States. The Philadelphia Telegraph
sounds the alarm in that section. 1t
says
II isannounced that in accordance with the
advice Of Senator Scott, the President Is about
10 issue proclamation declaring martial law
in South Carolina. A preliminary proclama,
tion will be issued. calling upon a
disguised bands to disperse or surrender WiLhln
thirty days. after which martial Jaw VIII nc
enforced, a State reduced 10 military pro-
vince, and citizens arrested Will Do Witnoul
the protection Of their own laws;
But for the circumstantial and seml-omclai
nature Of the announcement, we SHOULD not
accent such q mistake as possible IL seems,
however, to be part of the political prograIHlne
of n few desperate leaders of the Butter, Gam
eron and Chandler school, and is the feeler OF
nonuiar forbearance to decide whether entire
political subjugation in the South can DC sus-
famed in the North, Instead OF aiming 70
strengthen tho Republican party by q wise
and just defs to the convicu9ns Oh sln-
cere and patriotic men, the political despeIa'
does who assume to WELD the destiny OF lhe
party have resolved that the rude, naked exer-
else of more than questionable force shah DC
resorted to, and we are about 70 nave the CA
pesimental installment given IN South uaro-
lima.
After conceding that there is some dis
order in the South, that paper proceeds
with these words of warning: The
ablest and most patriotic men OF the
North, and the few honest men in power
in the South, unite in testifying that am
nesty and strict non-interyention by Con
gress are the only sources which can
give peace to the South, and the nation
will hold the President to a strict and
fearful accountability for any extreme
measure he may adopt South Carolina
once under martial law, the adventures
in the other Southern States will demand
the same violent proceedings to save
them from merited overthrow, and be-
fore we reach the threshold of the Pres
idential election, every State that was
in rebellion will be returned to the
government of the sword and the
will of the military commanders, de
who dreams thatths nation can SUSTAIN
such measures is fool or knave, or
both, and the President would do well TO
pause before declaring his distrust OF
the country by accepting the overthrow
of civil authority as necessary to the
maintenance of his powers, or to the po-
litical success of his administration.
Let him call Halt before he is en-
quilted in the maeistrom of sectional
strife by the folly of leaders who never
had, and never can have, the confidence
of the American people-the great tri-
bunal by which the President is soon to
be judged. Let us have peace

The colOred man has at last made his
appearance in the North as a. personal
element in politics The Radicals of
Cincinnati are in great tribulation con-
corning the aspiring disposition of some
of their colored citizens. They have
the ballot, and now they want office.
Cincinnati has always been hot bed of
abolition, and the party that governs
it, having got its elephant, is now puzzled
to know what to do with it. In this di-
lemma it can expect no sympathy. The
colored population is Radical, Of course.
The Commercial is irritated on account
of its pretensions, and says;'
The fact is, the eolored men have been
pushed forward quite as rapidly as they could
expect, and it has been done in the face OF
the most powerful prejudice and opposition
The claim that they should have an oppOrtu-
nifty to vote into Office some one of their own
color does not amount TO much. 1t looks very
much like q declared purpose to take advan-
tage of political privileges for purposes Of
selt-assertion.
That is quite cool. This organ Of
equal rights, of social equality and
every other sort of Radical devilment
clearly intimates that the colored PEG
pie should stand back until their politi
cal boards have grown. The Radical
idea now is that they have permission
to vote, and should be satisfied witt
that. These Radicals used the negro
question as a means Of getting Office fo
themselves and not for the negroes
Yet, in Cincinnati they cannot afford t.
lose the eolored vote, and the thing tina
tortures them is whether they shall have
colored candidates and succeed, OF /
white ticket aud run the risk Of defeat
There is hardly doubt that soon 0
late the party will pitch the negro over
board. When he thursts himself il
places where the white angels--almosi
not exactly-fear to tread, then over b
goes. Meantime, the Democrats ar
smiling on both cheeks and winkin
with both eyes. On with the dance.
