Ten Rirbteous RepubI,cans.

The Republican managersin South Caro-
lima, Florida. and Louisiana are stealing
three Governors, three Legislatures, three
Senators.in Congress, four or five members
of Congress. and sufficient number of
electors to swudle TILDEN out of the Pres
idency aud count HAYES into it. To ac-
complish these objects they have tramplcd
on Constitutions and laws, set the mandates
of courts ut defiance. while in the Gle
mcnts OF audactv aud atrocity thor cleo
ton frauds are far surprising any hereto
fore perpetratel in this country.
Al the same time The Republican Presi-
dent and Secretary of War have sent troops
into those states to aid, encourage, and
protect these miscreants in their assaults
upon honest elections aud orderly govern
mcnt.
Now, in view of this spectacle, what do
we hear from those who call themselves
the better portion of tho Republican
partyf DO they protest against these
crimes? On the contrary, the active poll
ticIans of the party and its influential news
papers applaud these deeds, and encourage
Their authors: while these so-callod better
classes Of Republicans are yet to utter the
fccblest note OF dissent against transactions
that are sinking their party under load
of mfamy.
Are there not ten righteous men among
the Republicans who have virtue aud cOur-
age enough TO lift up their voices against
tue crimes now being committed 10y their
political associates III these three States7

Another Stcp Downward.

The action of Judge BoND Of the United
States Circuit Court in taking the state
Canvasscrs of South Caroliua out of the
custody of the supreme Court of that state,
and IN relieving them from the punish
ment which that Court had inflicted. ia
calculated to alarm the public mind more
profoundly than any of the events which
have pa. rded IT, This action we be-
liove to be entirely without law. and
contrary to the decisions Of the SUI
prome Court Of the United states in
cases entirely analogous to this. IL
shows how complete amt comprehensive.
and how thoroughly fortified ut every
point is This great conspiracy against the
right of the people to cast their votes tor
candidates of their choice. aud to have tho
result honestly declared and carried on, in
accordance with the facts. IL snow seen
that this conspiracy not only includes the
managers of the Republican party, such as
Zach CHANDLER and JAY GOULD, and Re-
publican officials like President GRANT,
Secretary CAMERON, and Attorney General
TAFT, but that Republican Judges are also
engaged in il. and ready to use their au-
thoritv for de perate and dancerous polit-
ica intrigue.
To-day the state House of South Caro-
lima is surrounded with United States
troops for the purpose of excluding from
among the members Of the legislature u
sufficient numhcrof Democrats to give the
majority to the Republicans, and thus en-
able them TO declar CuANBrEIArN elected
Governor in place of WADE II AMPToN. for
whom the majority OF the people have
voted. Senator GORDON of Geor- in, Gen.
HAMPTON, Judges, ana citizens formally
protest TO President GRANT against giving
the control of the troops to CHAMBER
LAIN. but their protest is unavailug. The
success Of the conspiracy requires that
CuAMBERLAIN should have it.
