Chamberlain DEMoRAL1zED.-The
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, after mentioning the
presence of Chamberlain and Patter
son at the Cabinet council the other
day, says:
1t is rumored that at the sugges-
tion of these two latter one of the
first things that the Marshal of South
Carolina will be prompted to do is to
break up by force the practice of the
South Carolina Conservatives of ap-
pearing at public meetings and dis
cussing political questions with the
Republicans. The practice of orators
of the different political parties en-
gaging in mutual discussions before
the people, has long prevailed all
over the Union. There certainly is
nothing in the Enforcement act that
can even by Radical ingenuity be
tortured into prohibition Of this
practice in South Carolina and q
sanction of it in other States. But
the South Carolina Radicals are un.
willing that the negroes whom they
have 80 long controlled to their own
hurt shall be enlightened, and there
fore the majesty Of the power of the
United States Government is to be
invoked to fetter free speech. Con.
lSuger left here to night to take com.
mand of the Department of the South.
Gov. chamberlain also LETT for South
Carolina, and it is understood that
troops will be furnished Immediately
to assist the Marshal of South Caro-
lima in preventing the Conservative
speakers from putting their side, of
the question before the negroes of
South Carolina. ....

peace at the polls. The same provis-.
ion also stands in section 2,002 of the
Revised Statutes, at the head at of the
titley "Fhe Elective Franchise" h,ror.
We have already pointed out, in
our isspe Of Monday, September A..
why the exception of keeping the
peace at the polls, 80 far asuthe use
Of military power is concerned, can
exist only when the State is unable
to keep it's own peace, has called on
the President of the United States
for aid. The law which sternly
prohibits even the presence of mill
tary forces at the place of an election
necessarily excludes them from the
posse comitatus which the Marshal
is authorized, without any action by
the State, to summon and call to his
aid for the purposes set forth in the
law of 1866 was to prevent officers
ofthe army from stationing troops at
any place where an election is held,
excepting when they are acting, not
under u Marshal of the United States,
but under the executive authority of
the State after call OH the President
which has resulted in a detail of
United States forces to act under the
orders of the State authorities.
This circular, therefore, of the At
torney General will utterly mislead
the Marshals and their deputies as
we'll as officers of the army, if it in
duces them to believe that Marshal
under pretext of keeping 'the peace
Of the Uni'ed States at the polls tc
aid him in the discharge of his duties
in regard to the protection of the
elective franchise lie may undoubt.
edly use the whole of what consti-
tutes the posse comitatus in the dis
charge of his duty at tho polls, ex-
cepting that be must take exceedin!
good care that he does nos employ
the troops of the United States a.
part of that posse comitatus. If ht
does, no circular Of any Attorney
General thas ever lived will afforc
him the least protection.
We have no doubt whatever thai
the distinction on which we now in
sist will hereafter be held by the
judiciary to be correct. Upon any
other construction of the provisions
ofthe Revised Statues, it would fol-
low that any United States Marshal
in any State, upon his own judgment
and discretion, without any action O.
the State authorities, without there
having been any call by the State
| Executive for the aid of the United
States in protecting the State agains
Democratic violence, and when NJ
process of the United States is to b,
executed, may place troops of til,
United States at the polls to act uadel
his orders, and do whatever he may
Judge necessary. Our liberties are
not in such desperate condition, a.
all Marehals, Attorney Generals, anc
all other officers will find when thil
election is over. ...

The Canvass.

Col. John c. Burch, of the Nash.
vile American, made an able speech
here yesterday. He was troubled
with severe cold, and was. unable to
talk o great while, but he made up in
quality what he lacked in quantity Of
speech. Several gentlemen expressed
themselves of the opinion that his
manner Of presenting national and
state politics Was the ablest they had
heard during the canvass. His speech
will do good here. On his appeal to
the voters to support the solid ticket
-Tilden, Porter and all the others
he was greeted with hearty applause,
thus showing the sentiment OF the
audience to be opposed to indepen.
dents and sore heads wherever found.

P. U. Moore, Druggist, corner of

Editor Exchange:
Until the latter part of last week
we have had fine weather for gather
ing in our crops. The rain and wind
Saturday damaged cotton very much.
Cotton is making good yield and
will relieve the country considerablyof
debt, Notwithstanding the very low
prices. In my opinion goodly num-
Der of our farmers will plant but little
or none of it next year. Only one
advantage has cotton here over
other products of the farm-it will
always command the cash, xhile for
other kinds of produce we have to
wait for the market; and so soon as
we get in q condition that We can watt,
then we will tip our beavers to cot
ton.
Some little wheat has been sown,
and within the next ten days the bulk
of the crop will be in if the weather
is favorable for putfingit in. / don't
think as much will be sown this
year as last.
Some of our farmers are sowing
considerable area in grass preparatory
to stock raising.
The yield of corn will be consider
ably less than last year, owing great
ly to neglect in cultivation.
The sweet potato crop is very good,
while the Irish potato crop is short.
We are so busy engaged on our
farms that We have but little time to
visit your city, and consequently know
but little or nothing of what is going
on there, except what We get from
the EXCHANGE. From it We learn
that trade is greatly reviving, and We
must confess our establishment at so
few business notices in your adyertis-
ing columns. Some of your mer-
chants have been sending word out
here in the country that they have
new and cheaper goods than anybody,
but we fail to see them advertised in
the paper. What's the matter? Are
they really not worth advertising, or
do they think we country hunks can't
or don't read? We take this oppor-
tunity of informing them that we do
read. and especially do we highly ap-
preciate our Milan paper, and are
considerably influenced by its adver>
tising columns. M.
