SOUTH CAROLINA.

Troops from all points north on the
Atlantic Sea board have been ordered
TO South Carolina. The gerrisons n.
Portland, Maine, at Boston, Massa-
chusetts, at Governors Island, New
I York, at Fortress Monroe, Virginia,
have bean depleted to furnish troops
TO keep the peace in South Carolina.
The inference from this is that South
Caroiina is ia state of Instruction,
yet late dispatches from Charleston
indicate that quiet prevails throughout
the State. These dispatches say, 1.-the
President of the Chamber of Com
merce has united With the Methodist.
Episcopal and Catholic bishops and
leading Presbyterian. Lutheran, jew
ish, and Baptist ministers, and the
Presidents Of National and other banks
In Charleston in an address to
the people Of the United States,
which denies that the white people
! of South Carolina are disloyal or dis
affected to the United States Govern
ment ), that any part of the State is in
Instruction that any lawful cause
exists for Federal interference that the
white people of the State are disaffected
toward the colored people. or desire to

Infringe on their political or civil

are combinations against the law, or
that in tho receot race collisions the
white people have been the aggressors. y
A subsequent dispatch says: Sixty
northern merchants doing business in
Charleston held meeting last Friday
night and adopted an address to the
people OF the -Uaited States declaring
Governor Chamberlain's proclamation
unwarranted by the real condition OF
the State, and fully endorsing the state.
meut issued by the clergy and bankers.
These statements emanating from such
sources are calculated to lead intelli.
gent people to suspect. if not belle We,
that Gov. Chamberlain has misre pre-.
scented the people of South Carolina,
and that to further his chances TO,
reelection. he has placed the people Of
his State in false position before the
country. and that the concentration OF
troops in South Caroliua is unneces.

There are three tickets in the field In

Russians to Take the Field.

LONDON, Oct 80. 1876.
The Telegrapbs' Belgrade dispatches
contain a statement that Russian
force with the consent of Germany and
Austria, and the cooperation Of Rou-
mania and Servia will take the field,
aud that operations will probably COM
m ence to-day.
The Condition In India.
Dispatches from Calcutta say ac-
counts from the distressed districts OF
Bombay are somewhat better. Tie
collector of Marrick does not anticipate
an actual famine. There has been
some rain at Dharwar, but no improve
ment is reported in other districts
which are in distress. Great suffering
exists at Sehalapore where cattle are
selling at few pence each on account
of the lack of water. Reports from
Madras are also gloomy.
Servians Demoralized.
A Belgrade telegram to the Standard
says that Thernay.ff fell from his horse
and is corfiued to his bed. He seems
apprehensive of disaster, and has
warned the Inhabitants of all the vii.
lagos in Belgrade to leave. The State
OF the Servian army is indescribably
distressing. No force has undergone
such suffering since the retreat from
Moscow.

KiIpatrick's Convictions.

The indianapolis Sentinel of the
DIST, publishes the following letter
written to Gov. Hayes by Gen.
Fitzpatrick at the Grand Hotel and
discovered by accident. 1t was
evidently a copy of a letter sent
and meant to be preserved, but
was dropped. The handwriting is
an exact fac simile of the sigma
ture on the hotel register. The
majority of counties visited have
previously been strong Republican
and have less independent stength
than other counties in the State:
Grand Hotel, indianapolis, Aug. 2lst, 1876.
DEAR SRI have just finished
the tour of six counties in Indiana,
and feeling that any reliable infor-
nation from this State will interest
you, | write. In the first place,
the canvass is we'll conducted, the
people are enthusiastic and deter
mined and the old war spirit
thoroughly aroused, and if it were
not for one thing we could rest GER
tain of victory in October. There
is an independent party in this
State, confined, it is true, to few
counties, but formidable, and it
will defeat Gen. Harrison. There
is only one way to overcome this
movement. The leaders of the
independents are poor, needy and
in debt. They must be lectured
to, documents must be placed in
their hands that they may be con-
vinced of their folly. A "bloody
shirt" campaign with money in In
diana is safe. A financial campaign
and no money, and we are beaten.
The national committee has done
nothing for Indiana. Alone they
are fighting their battle and brave
", but unless the national commit
tee makes up and does its duty to
you, to the party, and the country,
defeat is certain in October. ]
never in my life felt so certain ]
was doing my duty as in this con-
test, and my desire for success, my
dear sir, is my only excuse for writ
ing you.
Your friend,

States Constitution, which may be
found by any one on pages % and
% Of the LIST vol. of the compiled
laws of the State. Section 4 Of
Article XIV, is as follows:
The validity of the public debt of the
United States, authorized by law, includ-
ing debts incurred for payment o: pen
sions and bounties for services In sup
pressing Instruction and rebellion, shall
not be questioned. But, neither the
United States nor any State, shall as
sumo or pay any debt or obligation in
CURED in aid of Instruction or rebel
lion against the United States, or any
claim for the loss or emancipation OF
any slave, but all such debts, obligations
and claims shall be held illegal and void.
The payment of the rebel debt
and the payment of claims for the
loss or emancipation of slaves be-
ing prohibited by the federal con-
stitution, congress would have no
power to provide for the payment
thereof; besides it is hardly rea-
sonable to suppose that ten men
could be found in any State, who
would be in favor of making such
payments, even if they were not
prohibited. We never yet suppos-
ed that a mans politics added any
thing to his desire to pay other
peoples debts; most men find it
sufficient to pay their own. This
Constitutional prohibition can be re-
moved in only one of two ways:
First, two thirds of both houses of
Congressmay propose amendments
or, second, on the application OF
the Legislatures of two-thirds OF
the States, Congress may call a con-
vention to amend or change the
constitution, and in either case the
proposed changes or amendments
must be approved by three-fourths
of the States.

So much talk has been made 10y
the Republicans over the dispiace-
ment of Union soldiers by the
present Democratic house, 1t Is
worth while to remember that
while under the doorkeeper OF the
last Republican Congress, there
were but Is Union soldiers out OF
1853 men employed, under the door
keeper of this Democratic Con-
gress there are 50 Uuion soldiers
ont of 1913 men employed. Now
let the Republican papers turn their
attention to Belknap's cheating the
dead Union soldiers out OF their
headstones.

The Rebel Debt.

One Of the most absurd reasons,
says the Saginaw Courier, that can
be given that the Democratic party
should not come into power, is that
the southern would control the
western Democrats, and secure the
payment by the government of the
rebel debt. The idea would seem
too preposterous to be entertained
a moment, but even in our own
community you will find intelligent
men advancing this proposition
with as much earnestness as II they
believed IL. II there are any per-
sons who are simple enough to be-
lieve such folly, their fears may be
relieved by consulting the four
teenth amendment Of the United

What Gideon WeIIcs Thinks
of Gov. Tilden.

Hon. Gideon Welles, President
Lincoln's Secretary of the Navy,
says the Albany Argus, announces
his determination to support Gov.
Tilden. In a private letter to
Montgomery Blair, another MEM
Der of Lincoln's cabinet, extracts
from which are published, Mr..
Welles expresses himself about the
Democratic candidates letter of
acceptance in this fashion:
have read Tilden's letter with great
satisfaction. 1t is the product of an able
mind-a statesman and politician, who
will give us an energetic and capable
administration. The paper carries us
back to better days aud times, when we
had statesmen for Chief Magistrates
who were capable of defining a policy
and shaping a course of wise admisis-
tration. i regret that Tildens's and
| Hayes letters could not have appeared
simultaneously, so that the public could
have read and studied them together
The tame platitudes OF the one, and the
profound and intelligent thought and
differences of the other are strong in
contrast.
Mr.. Welles is very confident of
Governor Tiden's election, and has
a poor opinion of certain Repub-
lican managers: for he says:
1t seems TO me there can be little
doubt of Tilden's election. AS things
are, Grant will be violent partisan In
the present contest. The whole weight
of an administration, with all its cor
rupt appliances, will be used to elect
Hayes. Morton, Boutwell,, and factious
men Of that class are striving, with
Grants assistance, 10 revive section
al hatred. General Dix, with more mil
itary zeal than he displayed during the
war, Is appealing to the Boys I'm Blue
TO organize for Hayes, and the worst
elements Of faction will he busy TO defeat
TilGcn. What monstrous suggestion
is that OF Boutwell, senator from Mas
sachuctts, TO remand Mississippi back
To n territorial condition. What are the
| ideas Of such man OF the structure of
our governmenty But trust we shall
he able TO ovcr-run Boutwell,, the devil
and all their works.

Some Testimony Concerning
the Hamburg Riot.
from the Louisville Courier-JournaI.


The Republican papers will have
to lower their tone little in speak
ing of the Hamburg riot. They
have asserted that the shooting was
the result of plot of the Demo-
cratic party, including Messrs. Til
den and Hendricks, which has for
its object the general slaughter of
negroes in the South, to keep them
from voting the Republican ticket
next fall. The President of the
United States rushed into print in
that strain to help on the partisan
didGIerie of his political associates,
but since governor Chamberlain
has withdrawn his charge that the
Hamburg killing was based on po-
litical animosity the President and
his yoke-fellows appear in a very
pitiable and foolish position. They
expected, in the first place, that the
numerous persons who were indict-
ed for completely in the 'plot"
would run away, or, if found would
resist the operation of the law
They have done no such thing, but
have readily submitted to arrest
and are interested in having the
case tried thoroughly, and every
charge against them sifted to the
bottom. The affidavits OF these
persons were presented before
Judge Mather's court at Aiken, >.
C.. on the 10th inst, and the fact
was fully developed by the testi-
mony, among that Of others, oil
Prince Rivers, the negro justice at
Hamburg, that Doc. Adams com
pany was not a regularly-organized
militia company, and that he (Riv-
ers) had required them to give mp
their arms. The following testi-
mony, which we take from the re,

AS to the parties who are alleg-
ed to have shot several negroes after
the company had surrendered, none
are the most DESTROYS that they
shall be brought to justice than the
Democratic citizens of South Caro-
lima. Shooting of these men was
certainly quite as lawless an act as
the killing of the Thielburg brothers
at Newark, N. j., not long ago,
without due process of law. That
act was commended by the New
York Tribune.
