protect persons from the alleged ku-
Klux conspiracies. In the case Of South
Carolina, he argued, there was con-
spiracy against property. The remarks

WAsuINGT0N, April, I.
The President, in his interview with
the Ring delegation, expressed himself
quite satisfied with their statement, and
took occasion to say that he was not cor
rectly reported when the South Carolina
Democratic delegation called few days
! before. He lid not then say that South
Carolina and Louisiana were badly gov
erned. He merely told the delegation
that if the condition of affairs in those
States was as represented, the remedy
was in the Lands of the people, to be
applied through the ballot box. He did
not believe what was said by partisans
against the Southern State Governments

An Opinion as is an Opinion.

The great congregational council called
by the two "clerical Paul Py's" OF
Brooklyn, has rendered verdict which
is Justly epitomised by the n. Y. Herald
as "Not guilty, but don't do it again.
After a secret session of two-and-a-half
days, they give an opinion occupying
over column in the New York dailies,
which means anything or nothing accor-
ding to the proclivities of each person
reading it. Like the cutie fishes, or
"shrimp mariners as our fishermen
here call them, they retreat under cover
of the inky darkness in which they cloud
their real meaning.
But a perusal of their debates in open
session shows clearly that the best minds
among them clearly appreciated the en-
Wy and uncharitableness OF Mr.. Beecher's
neighbors, Drs. Storrs and Burlington, in
calling the council and endeavoring to
stir up forgotten scandal to his preju-
dice, and refused to become parties to
any such proceeding. They felt con-
strained to declare that Plymouth church
by its independent action, had departed d
from the strict path of congregational
discipline, but there is not word of CEN
sure for Mr.. Beecher in all the vcrbiage
of their voluminous verdict, while there
are many covert slaps at the callers Of
the council.
In the words of the. N. Y. Herald:
"It was felt that the whole movement
"came from an uneasy spirit of envy,
"detraction and selfshness that the
monumental grandeur of Mr.. Bcecher,
filling not only America but the world,
"was oppressive to weaker minds, and
"that the only Way to share the fame
(which rested upon him was to destroy
"him."
But they did not do it.

ID. H. CHAMBERLAIN.

From present appearances ID. d..
Chamberlain is the man fixed upon b.
the enemies of Moses within the repuGli-
can party as the most available candidate
with which they can quiet the demand
for thorough reform. Mr.. Chamber
lain should prepare himself to cry save
me from my friends Personally he is
quite acceptable to many of the conser-
vatives and to the bulk of the real re-
formers among the republicans. He is a
man of undeniable ability he is man
Of culture; he Is a good lawyer; he is
too much of a gentleman to be led by
love of display Or vulgar dissipation to de-
scend to the level of the herd of black ard
white rascals who control caucusses and
conventions. He is, therefore, far enough
removed from Moses-Elliott crowd to be
considered as belonging to different
genus. On the other hand in the numer-
GUS positions of trust and responsibility,
which he has held during the past six
years. Mr.. Chamberlain has shown very
little desire to do more than glide along
easily; he has fought no fght with COR
ruption the enemies Of the state have
been his friends.
We believe that Mr.. Chamberlain is
free from criminal completely with fraud
in connection with the land commission
the sinking fund commission and the
financial board but when he is put for
ward as the champion of reform he must
be ready with an answer to awkward
questions, and with explanations in reply
to ugly insinuations.
Moses will not die without desperate
struggle. In all matters Of politics his
cunning is match for dozen of his oppo-
nents. No loose joint in Chamberlain's
armor will escape the shafts of his at
tack; no weakness will fail TO receive a
special blow; no tender spot will be left
unsearched.
1t behooves Mr.. Chamberlain, then,
to get himself in fighting trim. Let Us
hear from him. He has all the Ca
pacity, all the culture, all the ambition
to be the saviour Of The state. Has he

What Made Grant Mad.

Patterson crept into the White house
and read the following paragraph from
Gen. Gary's speech to the president five
minutes before he was to meet the Tax
payers committee. He says he read it
from copy of the Charleston Neaos, but
it is believed that he substituted the
word prostituted" for the word sac
rifced'' in the last line.
"He was not willing to be knocking at
the door Of the White House for politi-
cal or other favors. He conceded that
Grant was good soldier, but had tar
nished his good name forever by his sub
scquent course that to cover up some
of his bad deeds he had sacrificed his owr
wife"
Grant may be pardoned for getting
angry, but the bad taste exhibited il
showing it is disgusting.

4 GOOD BEGINNING.

The counter memorialists began their
mission in Washington appropriately.
Senator George I. Mcintyre got into :.
row with a segar dealer, pulled pistol
and was taken to the guardhouse. He
gave his name as j. N. Smith, but.uI OF
searching him his real name was discov-
cred. Then he put on great deal OF
style, saying he was South Carolinian
and a prominent politician, a personal
friend of high officials, and it would be a
very damaging business to all concerned
to lock him up. But South Caroiida OF
fcials are rated low in Washington and
locked up he was, lectured the next
morning, and fined fifty dollars.

selection of Whittemore as one to pre-
sent the counter memorial to congress.

with his aid, plundered the state for the
