THE MORAL OF THE PAST.

?
The President Is said to have made UP his
mind that it will not do TO allow South Car
DINA to be governed by highway robbers
much longer. But what the President can
do to prevent it is not very clear. According
to report published in our news columns
from a Charleston papsr, General Grant told
Senator Robertson that 6 be would rathersee
the State Government pass into the bands of
the Democratic party than see it continued
in the hands of the corrupt crew who have
brought things to the present pass" This Is
rather strong expression OF opinion; but:
under all the circumstances, it is not too
strong. Or, as Senator Robertson puts it, in
language more expressive than we have at
our command, 81 call that pretty square
thing for the President to say" We may
hope, then, in time to see Governor Moses
and bis gang kicked out of South Carolina.
It is quite certain that if the Republican
party will not do it, some other party will
receive the necessary commission NeN

Good for General Grant

United States Senator L. j. ROBERTSON, of
South Carolina, has authorized reporter for
the Charleston Courier to state that General
GRANT, In conversation with him, said that
he would infinitely "rather see the govern
"ment of South Carolina pass into the hands
"of the Democratic party than to see 1t con-
"tinued in the hands of the present corrupt
"crew, who have brought things to the pres
sent pass"
1t will be remembered that the President
told MCKAY that the United States soldiers
were not in South Carolina to collect State
taxes, and Senator ROBERTSON says:
81 have heard that Attorney General VIII
liams said, some time ago, that in the event
OF the continuance of the present corrupt
government in power, should the taxpayers
OF the State refuse TO pay the taxes, the
United States would not lend its assistance
to enforce their collection land Iiully believe
that the President would not permit the
United States troops to interfere. The Gov
eminent must protect its citizens in the en-.
joyment Of all their rights, and will do so
but am confident that it will not give its
protection and support to bad men who rob
the people and squander the public funds"
