a single specific complaint that the

the elections, or anything pertaining
thereto. The prompt and proper ae-
ton Of the President at once suppres-
sed at least all open and violent wrong

York headquarters were despatched tn
the scene Of action early, for reasons
best known to themselves; and since
that, the suggestion Of President

that the only function they can proI

raised has not yet been decided, bu
every precedent is against the position
Of the Democrats. Another quee
feature in that State is protest fron
the white Democrats Of Charleston

on account Of alleged intimidation b,

from Charleston indicate that tn

mains as to the Governorship. Tn
Board will begin canvassing on Fri
