overwhelmingly Democratic, is not
likely that troops will be used. But
they will be sent to North and South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi and
Louisiana, which States the Radicals
hope to carry by the aid Of the bayo-
net. The people of South Carolina
will act with forbearance and wisdom.
The soldiers will be present, not of
their own yol.tion, but by order Of
President Grant. Kindness, frmness,
patience and prudence must be the
watchwords. Our people know how
to treaybrave men who are ordered
to pelfBrm a disagreeable duty. The,
resultssay prove different from what
our enemies anticipate. Those who
were S@t to plague and intimidate
may comfort and encourage when the
contest is at hand.-Chronicle G Sen

The Rayonet and the Senate.

Among the many reasons why the
Republicans intend to use the bayo-
net in the Southern elections is their
determination to resort to the most
desperate expedients to preserve their
majority in the Senate. There are
ten seats to be filled in eight States,
where, on some manufactured and
lying pretext, troops may be used.
The States to which we refer are Ar
kansas, Louisiana, South Carolina,
and Texas, tie four present Senators
being Republicans, and there being
one vacancy in Louisiana; and Geor-
gia, Tennessee, Virginia, and West
Virginia, the four Senators being
Democrats, and there being one va
cancy in West Virginia.
Even with Tilden in the White
House, if the Republicans can con-
triyetoshold majority in the Senate,
they will be able to throw many OBJ
stacles in the way Of his reform
policy, and especially while Congress
is in session. The Republicans do
not hope to control the next Senate
unless they can 8 cure five or six of
the seats in the eight States We have
named; and they would be sure to
lose them all if the elections therein
in November were to be as peaceable,
orderly and free as the recent cleo
tion in Alabama.
Now, does anybody imagine that,
with these great interests at stake,
the party that has lived for eight
years through corruption, fraud and
violence, is going to let, the Senate
-sliPsouf-ot itst h0,,4s WITHOUT faslhs
all the forces it can corr nard to re-
tain its grasp upon it?
Very we'll. We ale glad the issue
is SO easily and so clearly defined.
Let it be tried, not in eigb' States
only, but in thirty-eight, before all
the people.-N Y Sun.

IT oops 10 Protect Democratic
Negroes.

The New York World makes some
admirable practical suggestions con-
cerning the troops which Don Cam
eron, acting under orders from Lieu
tenant General Zachariah Chandler,
will straightway proceed,to distribute
through the States of South Carolina
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Let the negroes everywhere, says the
World, understand the truth. There
are many localities where those COL
ored men who wish to vote the Demo,
cratic ticket are ostracised and treat
ed with violence by negroes, stirred
up to such deeds by disreputable
white men, who pocket the profit and
leave their dupes to be killed. The
troops are sent South to protect these
colored Democratic voters in the
exercise of the right Of suffrage. Let
them understand this. If there is
any placsShere there is Il probability
that colored Democrats will be inter-
fered with, let the local Democratic
committee confer publicly with the
United States Marshal on the subject.
If he then applies for troops, we'll
and good if he declines to do so
let his. answer be made public; it
may be of use later. # any Rep1tb-
hcan orator undertakes to- deny thot
these troops are sent South to afford
protection to the coloqed Democratic
y ters, ascertain aOAy they arc sent and
make his statement public. Every
Republican declaration that The army
is to be prostituted to party necessl-
ties is worth thousand votes in New
York and New England.
Colored Democrats must and shall
be protected in their rights and per-
sons, if it takes every soldier in the
army of the Union to do it.

The Work Of Entimidati0ns

President Grants order directing
the General of the Army to hold all
troops not engaged in actual hostili-
ties against the savages of the West,
in state Of readiness to intimidate
the people of the South, has received
merited condemnation from the press
of the country. Here and there we
find Radical paper which approves
of the order. The Washington or
gan of the President, the National
Republican, published at Washington,
has this to say on the s--5ject:
"There are but thirty-two counties
in South Carolina. If Republicans
will at ,mpt to vote at but three pre-
cincts ,ach county 1t will enable
the Government to place a squad OF
twenty soldiers at each Of these, who
can easily see to it that American
citizens are not shot down in cold
blood simply for voting for the can
didates5of their choice. Two thous-
and soldiers in the Palmetto State
will be quite enough to teach Wade
Hampton and his followers that this
}is indeed a free Republic.
In accordance with this plan of the
4 President for intimidating the white
lssssgle of certain Southern States that
| are Ssnsidered doubtful, two compa-
MES of United States troops from At
lanta have been sent to Edge6eld,
South Carolina, for the purpose Of
taking part in the election in that
county. We do not object to troops
being stationed in the South whenev-
er it may become necessary to need
their presence, hut it is an infamous
outrage upon the Government and
upon the people of the whole coun-
try to attempt to use the army for
political purposes. The purpose Of
the President is to intimidatg the peo-
pie, but we are hopeful that this re-
suit will not be attained. On several
occasions within the last ten years
troops were stationed in Georgia for
like purposes. The result in this
State shows that the soldiers did not
do the cause of Democracy much
harm. 1t is the outrage upon the
constitutional rights of our people
and the assumption of arbitrarypow-
er by the President that excites alarm
and arousesiindignation among good
men everywhere. The people have
4 reason to be alarmed for the safety ol
republican government. when the
President uses the army to uphold
the waning fortunes of his party.
The Presidents order must be obey.

white boys, and know there is no
natural bad feeling between the two
races. or yourself? What can you
in New Hampshire or Maine know Of
our condition down here? When
you call our people "rebels" you do
them great wrong. I believe the
people of the South are as loyal to
the Union as those of the North. l
ask you, as Christian, do you think
it right to be constantly abusing the
Southern people? They have come
back to the Union and fully accepted
all of the amendments to the Con-
stitution, with all the results Of the
war. The only reason why they have
made such an effort to get hold of
their own State governments, is to
protect themselves from the wicked
plunderings and robbery of carpet
baggers; and every good man, white
and black, ought to join hands to
emancipate our section from this fear
full state of things. Remember, that
our homes in the South are as dear
to US as yours in New Hampshire.
Now, HOY would you like your State
to be infested with gang of these
political thieves, from another far
country plundering the public treas
FRY and leaving tax on the people
too heavy for them to bear, exciting
riots, causing bloodshed? l ask You,
would you help them to continue the
work of destruction against your own
people? 1 tell you this is our con-
dition, and the cololed people are
the main agency by which they are
enabled to do their work and, in
my judgment, nothing but division
of the colored vote can bring peace
and prosperity, which we SO much
need; and l feel that no pulpit work
or mission effort will enable me to
do as much for my race as this work.
1 have given this matter eleven
years thought. and for years I have
taken great pains to inform myself
as to the true feeling Of the people
of the South, and these are my con-
clusions: First, That the whites de-
sire to live with the colored people
in peace and quietness, and ere do
ing all they can to gain the object.
They do not want all Of the colored
people to vote the Democratic ticket,
bat believe it would be best to divide
their vote between the two parties.
This point would have been gained
years ago but for the terror of the
RaIical party and its loyal leagues.
;Thore has, been no i,4inilftioH jim
the South worse than that RractRedfl
by the carpet-bagger party Of the
South. l do not charge the colored
people with this cruelty. They are
not to blame; they are only tools IN
the hands of these bad men. l have
known some colored men to be whip
ped, some turned out Of their church
es, End all kinds of intolerant abuse
have heen heaped upon those colored
men who dared vote the Democratic
ticket. In some parts of the South
the life of a colored man (Democrat)
is not very safe. I submit these facts
to you as the honest conviction Of my
heart, and must say I cannot accept
your advice, because in doing so
would not do justice to myself and
my race.
Yours, with great respect,
