The mission OF the Republican party,
they tell us, 'is not ended until human
life Is as safe in every portion OF the
South as it is in the North" The Chi
cago Tribune says terrorism exists
In Illinois from which women and
children cannot be protected by their
husbands and fathers" The Philadel-
phia Press informs us that "tramps
and vagrants swarm through the
country everywhere. Some Of them are
really unable to get work at any price,
and are obliged to beg Others would
work II they could be employed at their
favorite occupation and at their own
wages, but failing In these they take to
burglary and robbery as naturally as
duck to water. In such times every
farm house, as well as every city dwell
ing, should be protected by firearms.
Eternal vigilance and a readiness to
resort to arms when necessary, are the
price of other things beside liberty--life
and property, for instance" Senator
Cameron stated the other day in the
Senate that crime was so speedily pun
ished In Pennsylvania that perfect
security existed. His organ tells us that
burglary and robbery are SO prevalent
that it Is necessary for the people to
keep good supply Of firearms on hand.
The "mission"of the Republican party
should be applied to Northern States as
long as that mission is Of police
character"

THE ST UATlON.


Ever, since It was definitely ascar,ained
that, without counting sny one of tue three
doubtful" Southern States, Mr.. Tilten had
received 1S4 votes out Of tue $50 in the Elec.
toral College, tie American peon'e have had
good reason to believe that Notwithstanding
the strenuous opposition of the Radical wing
of the REPUBLICAN parrv. he would be duly
insugurated President Of the Uuised States.
Not only was this belief founded unou the
greater PROBABILITY that ks would receive Que
more vote than that Mr.. HAYES wouio receive
10, but the election of postmasters to the
positions of Presidential Electors in Two of
the States, and the failure of the Republicans
in some of the districts of Louisiana to vote
At all for FIVE out of tue eight Electors to
which rkat State is entited seemed to render
it almost certain mat mourning bat the most
gigantic f.au1 could secure the election OF
Mr. Hayes. All the chances seemed 10 be 10
favor Of Mr. J'ilden. Events have moved.
however, that the Returning Boards of the
three ''iOuOdul' Southern States are capable
of any amount of ffaud that may be necessary
toaceomplish their ends. What may be done
In regard to the two Postmasters WHO were
elected in Vermont and Oregon, We are unable
to say. 1t is absolutely certain that .hey
cannot act as Electors; aud to us it seems
just as certain that the Democratic caudidate-
who received ne highest vote must be de-
Glazed elected instead of the disqualified Re-
publican candidate Is these two Democratic
candidates cast their votes for Mr. Ti'den it
will be impossible for Mr. HAYES 10 receive
majority Of tue wuolc electoral vote; and,
consequently, Mr.. JiIdeu will eitpes be
elected By receiving majo.itz of lne cleo
toral vote. or the House of Eenresenta.iv
will be obliged 10 elect the esident IN &C.
count of neither candidates having received
such majority. From the nop. Ola ksou n
Porter's letter on the situation it seems that
the question as to who shall be Iresideot of
the United States denends almost entirely
upon the House of Representatives for &C.
eording to his view eac1 House appoints te
lers, whose duty it is to count tue vote; the
President Oftae Serate merely announces the
result; each HOuse may rejec. the Electo. al
vote of any State it is the duty and province
of the House of Representatives alone to de-
termine whether tner caudiuate has received
= majority of the electorA, VOC. it is easy
to see that if Mr. Potter's position Ne correct,
Mr. TilGcn will be the next President of tue

In speaking of the popularity of some of
the fO~uer slave owners among the negroes
the ,Cincisnati Enquirer says:
"Lruch. coIoreG, has been defeated by

Of Wade Hampton as Governor of South
Carolina, as we'll as the election OF General
Chalmers, is due to popularity with the coll
ored men. 9'he colored people are fast fud>

What farce ,nen it is for the Radical
press to howl that tbe negro vote was "buil-

this Sd in South Carolina and l:Uuisians,

ton has just issued The following address
--C"I"mJio. s. c., Nov. %, 1S76-To
the people of South Carolina: The board o.
canyasseIs have by tfei- unprecedented ac>
tiOp shown no, only their contempt and de-
fance Of the Suureme Cou:t oF the State,
but the utter disregard of their own official
integrity. While The grave questions deter
minirS the result Of the receut election were
pending before the Supreme Court, composed
OF three judges belonging to the Republican
party, aud 10 direct violation of orders Of this
tribunal, the BOARD have issued certificates Of
election to the Republican presidential cleo
tors and 10 the Republican State officers. and
have refused TO give certificates to the DEM
ocrat'o members of the Legislature, shown by
tine returns of this same board to have been
elected in the counties of Edgefeld and
Laurens.
''Tnis high handed outrage is we'll calcula-
lei to arouse the indignation of our longs
suffering people. but assure them that this
daring aud evolutionary act of the board can
have no legal force whatever. anneal to
you. therefore, in the fullest confidence that
the appeal will not be unheeded, that you
will maintain. even under that provocAtion,

TIE DISPUTED STATES.

The situation in the disputed States con-
tinues to grow in gravity aud interest. The
South Carolina board cauvassecs on Tues
day made reOu t 10 the Supreme Court at
Columbia stating the persons who had re,
ceiVsd the highest numoer of votes for Offices
for which they were candidates Appended
to the renort of the results was a memoran.
dun of the board stating that 10 their opinion
certain irregularities which affected some of
the republican candidates should be corrected,
and also that the vote of Laureus and Edges
field counties, which gave large Democratic
msjOrities, should be excluded on account of
fraud and iutimid ton. Subsequently, the
eou made an orGcr commanding the board
to issue certificates of election to all persons
who were shown by Tue renost of tue board to
have received the highest number of votes
for members of the Legislature, intending the
counties of Eugefe d and Laureus. The
court also took up the case of the electors
and issued rule on the board to show cause
Why they should not correct the statements
OF the county canvassers by the precinct re-
turns in their possession. Pending taese pro-
ceedings Of the court, however, the boa, u
held session and issued certificates to all
members of the Legislature except for Lau>
reus and Edgefeld counties, thus securing
majority of the Legislature to the Republican
side aud the consequent defeat of Hampton
and the election of Cham berlain. The board
also issued certificates of election to the
Hayes and Wheeler electors and to all The
Republican State ticket. The board then ad
journed sine die.
On Friday the Supreme Court issued rule
to the State canvassers aud their counsel, ID.
T. COFbin, to show cause why they should
not be attached for CONTEMPT
At Columbia, S. G., SATURDAY., the contu>
maciOus cauvasseIs were fined 81. 500 each by
the Supreme Court of the State and commits

be released yesterday by order of Judge
Bond, of the United States District Court.
President Grant has issued an order for the
troops at Columbia to support Gov CHAINS
berlain, and on the assembling of the Legis>
lature to-day it is expected that they will take
possession of tue State House and refuse adj
mission to the Democratic members elect
from Edgefeld and Laureus. At New Or
leans, La, the event of Saturday was the dis
covery, in the presence of the two advisory
committees and counsel, of the fact that Ger
tain returns had been tampered with by the
Republicans after their receipt by the return
ing board. The attempted fraud created a
decided sensation. The Florida boa,d of
canVassers was to meet yesterday, and thus
obViate further proceedings against them in

New YoaK, Nov. 2+-Hon. Abram S.
Hewitt has written the following letter to
Gen. Wade Hampton:
National Democratic Committee, New
York. Nov. "a, lS76-My Dear Sir: Your
admirable address to The people of South Carr
olina is the subject of universal commenda>
ton here. In fact the prudence, the for
bearauce and selt>control of your people IN,
der the most cxasper"ting provocation. is be-
yond all praise can only trust that in the
exciting situation in which you will find
yourself next week no outbreaks will occur.
1t is almost too much to expect that there
will be no indiscreet man in South Caroline
who may provoke the collision, but neyerthe-
less the providence of God has SO far guided
you and your people in all your dificutie.
that your friends rest in calm confidence uron
the wisdom and good fortune which have SO
far attended your action.
You may rest assured that your Northern
brethren have consecrated themselves to the
work of your deliverance, aud will never
cease their efforts until you are restored to
that freedom wheTewith you were made free
by the labors, and sacrifices, and wisdom of
our forcfathers aud your iorefathers
God give you and your people all the pa.
thence needed in this hour of trial and in this
crisis of the destiny of our common country.
We have full faith in the justice OF the peo.
pie of the United States, and we do not en-
terrain doubt of the final verdict which
they will pass upon the occurrences of the
last two weeks This verdict will surely
vindicate their majesty and rc-establish free
government unon a lasting basis. l have the
honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient
servant,
