nO0MEp SOUTH CAROLLNA.

The triumph of what is termed the negro
Republican ticket in this weeks election in
South Carolina extinguished all hope of a
speedy Reform in the administration of that
State. Franklin j. Moses jT., Speaker of the
House and Governor elect, is neither better
nor worse than Scott, whom he succeeds
Scott was Union soldier and is carpet
bagger; Moses was furious Confederate, who
claimed and was awarded the privilege of first
raising the Palmetto flag over Fort Sumter
after her surrender by Col. Anderson but the
two have worked hand in hand throughout the
last four years of wholesale robbery whereby
the State debt and annual taxation have
been swelled incredibly. A New Yorker who
bought for $4,000 considerable plantation in
South Carolina five years ago, paid the first
year $40 taxes on it (; the next year $3.50 and
this was swelled each year till the present.
when it was raised to $1,000, which is more
than can be made out of it, and the estate is
virtually confscated. Meantime the schools
are closed for want of means to pay the teach
ers, the interest on the State debt goes unpaid,
and the State charities are unprovided for In
short, the finances of South Carolina lie in
ruins, her property has no value, and her
people are migrating in quest of locations
where they may earn and live.
So much for Negro Suffrage says one.
No, Sir; not that. 1t is the pitting of race
against race in eternal antagOnism that does
the mischief National Reconciliation would
save her even yet. But the Blacks are sys-
tematically trained to fear, distrust and vote
against the Whites after the fashion of the
current appeals to "vote as you shotn in this
section. The Whites being in the minority,
have abandoned the polls, as their voting one
way would be sure to concentrate the Black
vote on the opposite ticket. So they fold
their hands and sit in mute despair, seeing
that all the machinery of elections is so ar
ranged and worked that no majority on their
side would prove effectual
These fragrant wrongs are perfectly under
stood at Washington; for U. S. Senator
Robertson (and we believe his colleague
Sawyer also) is fully aware Of them, and
does not hide his light under bushel. Sew
eral Of the Federal officers in Charleston and
other parts of the State are inimical TO the
Columbia Ring" and openly denounced its
iniquides. One frank, manly rebuke from the
White House would have crushed the con
federated rascals who have made the states

BUTLER IND GRANT.

One of the most remarkable incidents of
the present campaign is the sudden abandon
ment by Gen. Butler of his expressed deter
minatiOn to say "nOt one word in behalf Of
Grant" and his recent active participation
in the canvass.
The relations between Butler and the Presi-
dent have always been difficult to understand
Notwithstanding Buffers late professions, it
is as well known to those who are familiar
with the treatment which he has received from
Grant that he has neither forgiven nor for
gotten it, but hates the President to-day as
bitterly as when in 1867 he denounced him as "a
"man without head OF heart, Indifferent to
"human suffering and impotent to govern"
AS well might Tweed be expected to give cordial
support to Mr.. Greeley as Gen. Butler TO support
Gen. Grant if his own political necessities did
not demand at least a pretense Of doing
so. When q man has been denounced as
a thief"" traitor who furnished the South
"ern army with supples"-as Butler has been
by Grant and Grants friends-and subjected to
every insult and slight with which it was pos
sible for the general-in-chief of an army TO
treat distrusted and despised inferior, even
to sending him home in disgrace, 1t is not rea-
sonable to suppose that his cry of " four years
"more" OF his relentless enemy can have
particle of sincerity.
But the Presidents hostility to Butler is
not merely an incident of the war; it was
carried afterwards into politics. While Gen.
Grant was supporting Andrew Johnson he OBJ
tanned the appointment to important offices in
Massachusetts, OF men personally obnoxious

SO every brewer must be saddled with an ad-
ditional and needless expense in order that the
lucky owners of this invaluable machine shall
make money with the assistance of the Gov
eminent of the United States.
Somebody will ask, Why make fuss about
such little thingf The estimated cost to the
brewers of the whole country is only
s375O,OOO they ought to pay it and collect 1t
from the consumers. This is always the an
swer to any objection to additional and use
less taxation. Decentralization is so complete,
it is difficult for some men to understand that
the levying of an unjust tax is tyranny. But
this is just the tyranny of which we complain.
II is taxation of many for the bepeht OF
privileged few That Leet, pensoner on the
Presidents bounty, might have handsome
income, the merchants of New-York were

SHORT METRE.

Mr.. Senator COnkling is reported to us as
having stated at Deposit lately that Horace
Greeley procured the appointment of Mr.. c..
j. Vanderbilt in the New-York CustOm-house
at a salary Of $4,000 per annum, tchich salary
Mr.. Greeley dre,o To which we reply:
1. Mr.. Vanderbilt had a smaller salary than
$4,000 per annum. 2. He was employed in the
Custom-hOuse but short time-we believe
less than two months. 3. Mr.. Greeley never
drew, nor received, nor was paid, one cent of
Mr. Vanderbilt's pay, whether earned in the
Custom house or elsewhere. a. Mr.. Greeley
never received one farthing of the pay of any
person employed in the collection of the rev.
enue, whether from customs or other sources.
Is there any more to be said
New-York tribune., 1872-10-18

to it came from the military party, who saw
in it weakening of the influence which the
Government had over every eligible soldier
until his fortieth year. President Grant, it is
said, has seriously offended this party, as well
as the Emperor himself, by his conduct in the
sale of arms to France. The change in the
policy of the Government at Berlin took place
during the absence of Prince Bismarck at
Varzin, and the direct cause was one which
arose within the Department of War. The
unavoidable conclusion then is, that the con-
duct of President Grant during the late war
has been 80 detrimental TO the interests OF
Germans in America that those who return to
their native country without naturalization
are liable to severe penalties for emigration,
and possibly even those who shall have been
naturalized may be subjected to serious annoy

capital den Of thieves. But that word, it is
feared might cost Gen. Grant the electoral
vote Of the State; SO it remains unspoken.
We deem this silence mistake, even on the
lowest grounds of expediency. The Moses
crowd threatened to bolt if Grant pronounced
against them but they would never have
dared to make good their menace Had it
been proclaimed that the President would
cOnfne his patronage and favor to the consist
ent champions of Purity and Reform, a ticket
confomed to that standard would have been
nominated and elected, leaving the plunderers
baflled and impOtent. But no effort was made,
no risks incurred, to rescue the State from her
spoilers by the simple expedient of welding
the influence and patronage of the Federal
Executive against them. Had Gen. Grant not
been candidate for reelection, we believe
this would have been otherwise.

ONE OF TIE LITTLE RINGS.

II is the 'turn Of the brewers now to com
plain. Nearly every trade and industry which
can possibly be made to yield revenue to
the sharpers who hang on the Government has
had cause to cry out. This time. the brewers
declare that they will not be blackmailed for
the support of a little ring which has fastened
on the Internal Revenue Bureau. The dealers
in malt liquors are the victims, and new
tangled stamp-caneeler is the instrument by
which an additional tax of S3,75O0OO per
annum is proposed to be wrung from them
1t is nowhere pretended, we believe, that the
tax on malt liquors is not very closely col
lected indeed, the brewers say that it is coll
lected almost to a dollar; but somebody has
invented O tool with which 10 cancel beer
stamps and, naturally enough, he wants to
sell it, So nice little combination has been
fixed up, and by taking in men of influence
the Commissioner has been induced to regard
with favor the neat little instrument. We all
know how this is done; it has been done so
often that the operation is familiar as the
drawing of a tooth. The brewers have no
trouble with their stamps. and nobody even
charges that the cancellation as now made is
not perfect and sufficiently thorough to secure
the Government against loss by fraud. But
the little ring must sell their cancelers /; like
Pindars razors, they were made to sell and
tho Government is tho onIy possible customer.

special point In their favor. Thus he secured
the nomination Of Gordon to an Office in Mas-
sachusetts, on this ground, among others-that
he was an enemy of Buffers; and he wrote To
President Johnson, July 4, 1896: "While the
"army was holding Lee in Richmond aud Pc
"tersburg / found the latter was receiving
supplies either through the inefhciency or
with the conniyance of the officer selected
"by Gen. Butler for the command at Norfolk ~
and he added that he replaced this officer
by Gen. Gordon, because he knew Cor
don was honest, and no persuasion could
:" make him swerve from the path of duty"
And when in 1868 Butler had been regularly
nominated as the Republican candidate for
Congress from the Vth Massachusetts, District.
bolt was encouraged by Grant, Rawlins, and
+. b. Washburne, and faction headed by
Richard II. Dana, jr.-whO moved down into
Buffers district for that pnrpOse-and calling
themselves Grant Republicans received al
the aid and encouragement which it was pos
sible to extend from Galena, Gems. Gordon
and Fitzpatrick being sent by Grant to stump
in behalf of Dana and authorized to repeat bis
former denunciations of Butler. Grant, elected
President, attempted to reward Dana for the
part which he played in the campaign against
Butler by offering him no fewer than five i'm
pOrtant positions; Gordon received his Ofiics
in Boston, and Fitzpatrick went back to South
America. Grant evidently intended TO main
tain his determination 10 have nothing what
ever TO do with Butler.
But when, in January, 1870 Mr. Dawes pub
licy exposed and denounced the extravaganza
of Gen. Grants Administration, declaring from
his seat in the House that he had a right TO
complain "that, with all its professions OF
economy and reduction of unnecessary force
" in the Departments, with all the heralding
" by telegraph or otherwise of its purpose OF
reduction, there is not one of the Depart
rnents that does not estimate for an increase
" Of expenditure over the appropriation Of last
year, save one, and that is the poor unpopu-
"lar Attorney General" then Butler suddenly
appeared as the champion Of Gen. Grant and
defender of his extravaganee, and in the
language of Mr.. Dawes, was taken into the
" Presidents bosom and warmed into new life"
Afterwards he supported the SantO Domingo
and other executive jobs with all the earnest
ness of partisan. Still, although delegate
to the Renominating Convention at Phila-
delphia, Gen. Butler was absent from lts
and announced that he should
make no speeches in behalf of Grant. Next
we hear of him at Milford, where he declares
for "four years more of Grant" ana then
turns up in Maine and at the West, echoing
the same cry. That some unusual influence
has forced Butler from his intended silence ia
beyond question, and what it is we have only
to wait patiently to learn.

1t is curious that so many confessions Of ignorancs
should come from intelligent physicians. Already

fectly charming DR.. Allen said THAT he had been
for thirty years physician, and for ten years Medi-
cal Superintendent Of the Kentucky Lunatic Asy'
lum, and that he had during that time over 2.OCs
crazy people under his charge. "Ihe more
studied he went on TO say, the question Of in
sanity, the less understood it; and if you ask me
where it begins and where it ends. neither nor any
other physician in the world can tell you" This
was DR.. Aliens scientific opinion of science; but he
warmed up as he went on, and added: On occa-
sons like this, lawyers make fools Of themselves in
trying to make asses Of the doctors" which, consd
erng the circumstances, was rather rough thing ts
