RADICAL TRICKS.

Some new Republican electioncering
tricks have been discovered. lack Chandler
has employed a lot of INSCRIPTIONS men to
write letters to Northern papers and appear
in large crowds, representing themselves to
be Southern Democrats These men.Swrite
confidently and talk loudly about what will
be done when Tilden is elected. They al
lege that they have large claims against the
government for property destroyed
during the rebellion and that they
have been promised pay when the
Democracy comes into power. A few
DAYS ago one of these fellows wrote a
letter to the Journal of this city, dating it
from a Southern town, in which he claimed
that he had been promised pay for his de
stroyed property if Mr.. Tilden was elected
The Journal endorsed the letter and COM
mented upon it, but the fraud was too
transparent to deceive any one with intelli-
gence above an oyster. There are, however,
some men so blinded by prejudice as to be
unable to see an object unless it
is within an inch of their noses; and
to such the Journals letter may have been
accepted as gospel truth. Such men believe
Bob Ingersoll to be Christian and Ben But
Ter an honest man, but to those not entirely
lost to common sense we would say that
there has been regular system of fraud and
lying inaugurated by the National Republi-
can Committee on the subject of Southern
claims. A few days ago man was
Grating loudly on the Centennial grounds
at Philadelphia about his claims
against the government for the loss of prop
erty destroyed by the war, and the promises
which had been made him by the Democracy
when it came into power. A gentleman
from Toledo. Republican, recognized the
pretended Southern claimant as Radical
county officer from Northern Ohio, and was
so Disguised with his lying state
ments, that che gave him away

From the Terre Haute Express.
4 new link in the strong chain OF circum-
stantial evidence which convicts Arson
Wolcott of having sold to the Republican
party on the eve of election, has come to our
knowledge. II will be remembered that the
first intimatioH of Wolcott's treachery came
to the Independents through the intercept
ton of letter written by Wolcott to Ollie
man, asking that certain changes be made in
his letter declining the race. Mr. Mckee,
who was at that time editor of The Indian
apols Sur. informs us that he received from
Woleott, the same day that the letter max
ing corrections was received, a note request
ing that he should state emphatically in the
issue of the Sun, then just going to press,
that there was no foundation whatever for
the report of his (Wolcott's) withdrawal
The Sun, it is well known, is a weekly news
paper, and reaches more Independents than
any other publication in the state. Wolcott's
design is plain. He hoped to have his dec
lination held back until time so near the
election that its publication would throw
the Independents into inextricable confu-
sion and disaster. To accomplish this he

SOUTH CAROLINA.

As the days 60 by the situation Of South
Carolina becomes more desperate and de-
plorable. The outrages perpetrated have no
parallel in American history, not even I'M
der the reign of Grantism. True, Grant or
dered his soldiers TO bayonet the
legislature of sovereign state, to
disperse it by force of arms and
install a band of usurpers The move
ment was in the interest of the most in
famous set of adventures and plunderers that
ever throttled the liberties of the people.
The act was monstrous crime, and as such
has passed into history But in the case of
South Carolina, the perfdy of Grants course
is undisguised. There is absolutely nothing
to shield it from merrited loathing and indig-
nation. The whole proceeding is based upon
aseries of falsehoods so atrocious and so trans
parent that none but the blindest and bitter
est partisans attempt to excuse them. In
the case of Louisiana, Gen. Phil Sheridan
wanted Grant to declare the white popula-
ton banditti, that he might send his sol
