The people outside Of South Carolina
have hardly lea-Ted TIRE half as to bow the
carpet-baggers have robbed that State. 10
February, 1855, the General Assembly Of
that State passed resolution authorizing
the Governor TO arm aud equip company
Of one hundred men for the defense Of the
Stat. This force never performed any
service, but it appears from the Charleston
Meas that slnca the Is. OF November last
So. 423. 80 have been drawn from the State
treasury on account Of this company-this
huge disbursement being made, as Justice
Willard Of the Supreme Court says, ain a

part Of the State to military jrc8 Is kCown
TO have existed, and whom the resources OF
the State ase Inadequate 10 meet the cur

existence, and that the money was cor

impea cament resolutions last winter.

ORGANIZATION.

Never was there more striking proof Of
the force and need OF organization, than the
present canvass, State and Federal:
On theon side we see dominant party
reekIng with corruption of every sort aud
shade, and possessed Of not one attribute
that can commend 1t to the favor of the
country. Yet this party threatens to con-
time Its meptitic influence by ths sheer
force Of party organization.
On the other hand we see a rising for
Federal reform that meets q response in
every honest heart throughout the land. Yet
this widespread wish, this universal yearn-
ing of the people, might mlsersbly fail, for
lack of organization. But in the Dem
ccracy It finds an organization prepared to
further its efforts. Without the timely
aid of Baltimore, the Cincinnati convention
would have followed, In tbs wake Of Its
Columbus confrere, into political oblivion.
OF all men, our "origlnal," unconditional"
Greeleyites ought to appreciate and be
grateful for Democratic organic alton.
Without it, they would no. even have the
opportunity to vote for their "original''
favorlLe, because he himself wrote last
April that he would not support the Cincin-
naH nominee unless that nominee was en-
dorsed either positively or negatively by
Baltimore,
The ''Straightout" movemsnt-looming
into ugly proportions even at this late day
when the issua seems made up to all res-
soDable minds between Greeley and
Grsut-demonstrates further that 1t viii de-
msud all tho force and ylgor Of Democratic
organization to bold together the vote that
must be poHed for Greeley, to ensure the
defeat of Granlism. So that, oven in the
Macchiayelsn meaning of gratitude, as "a
lively sense of favors yet TO come," our uu-
conditional Greeley men ought to be CRATE
fgl for Democratic organization.
Tho present unfortunate, and We hope,
transient crisis in State politics, ia another
sad proof of the need for organization. Tie
great majority of the people-the honest
! tRX-payers Of the State-ar8 seriously men
aced with return Of Radical rule and Rad
icsl extravaganza. Overwhelming in num-
bers, defeat sLares them in the face fog want
of discipline. A puny party, miserable
minority, may snatch the prize while We
wraDgie. Who wants a more signal illus
tration Of tbs strength Of organization aud
the weakness OF mare numbers? Aud yet
we hear political tyroes crying themselves
boarse against party discipline. a bitter,
bitter lesson awaits the people Of Tenues-
sea, If they listen to these '9nnocsnts."

the revelations of Black Friday. Let those
who desire to know how Grant protects

tie following letter. It was written to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, It will be re-
membered, prior to the Black Friday, when
James Fisk, brother-in.law Corbin and
others were preparing to carry on the gov
eminent gold speculstions. After writing
it the President departed for Western
Pennsylvania, where he could be away
from the clamor which he anticipated would
be raised over the Wall street. operation:

you viii have a better chance TO judge

Hon. George S. Boutwell,, Secyatsry Of The
Treasury,
As there was s1e0,0OO,o1O gold in the
Treasury, and as the sale Of million or
iva would have the effect Of seriously dis
conceltiDg the plans Of Fisk 6 Co., the
President wrote letter 10 Secretary Bout
well advising him not 10 interfere, but
to let matters take their course, until one
aide or The other triumphed, which meant,
as precautions have been taken to meet
every contingency except the selling Of
gold by the Secretary, that The Secretary
sbon}d not sell, This was followed bv the
terrible Black Friday, the consequences of
which will be remembered By so many
people. Fisk was a. that time Intimate
with Grant, aud Corbin, Grants brother
in-law. Do business men want such a
President to guard their Interests? Is
Grant the guardian Of the business man?
