The condition of South Carolina IL critical.
1t may not only decide the Presidential cleo
tion. but involve even grayer consequences
after the ballots have been cast 1t is the duty
of every patriotic citizen to understand the
case, and to judge 1t, not III the hight OF
preiudices born of paTtSanSlnp, not III The
light of crimes which have been committed
elsewhere. but by the facts. More than once
limited States troops have been sent into States
IN order to keep thieves i'll office. More than
once the President has employed the army,
not TO protect a State against domestic violence,
bnt TO protect the Republican party against de-
feat. 1t would be, with respect to that party,
but lust retribution if the wOlf-cry falsely
raised so often, should at last rccOll with fatal
effect when raised with reason. But what
Would be the result to the country? We have
no right to see the Constitution tramplcd under
foot because there have been crimes committed
in its name. No just and honest man will
say that free government ought to be stamped
out in South Carolina because Gov Ames OF
Mississippi deserved defeat. This case must
stand by Itself. What is itY
At the outset Republicans may as well
face the facts. The scOundrelly government
which they set up and sustained has robbed
the State into pauperiSm. In series OF let
trrs to TIE TRIBUNE three years ago James
5. Pike portrayed the masquerade OF bandits
in the gllise of legislators so wildly that from
that day to this South Carolina has been
known by the name he gave 1.-THE Pros
trate State. That every honest citizen
should strive to overthrow the party that
ipaugurated and sustained this sort of govern
ment. is not to be wondered at. That they
should say frankly to ignorant negroes, II
"you vote to sustain thieves, we Will not hire
"you.n NAV be dcplOrable, but Is certainly not
unnatural. Suppose Gov. Tildcn, when fur
nishing his house in New York, had said to
Potter g. Stymus, "NO, gentlemen, ! will

Now as to the present case. OF all
the Southern Republican Governors, Cham
berlain is the one who has earned the
name of n genuine reformer. His brave bat
tie against Republican scOundrels won admira-
ton throughout the land. The Democrats of
South Carolina showered praises upon him.
Commercial bodies formally thanked him and
pledged him their support. Leading Demo-
cratic journals declared that there ought to be
no other candidate nominated by the honest

confine herself to diplomatic action, which
will become all the more effective in proper
ton as other nations may be drawn into the
war. England, finally, cannot fail to see that
her own policy up to the present time has
seriously fettered her freedom Of movement.
She cannot protest against the action OF Rus-
STA in repeating hCr own demands: she cannot
even lend a moral support to Turkey lmmedl-
ately after yielding so much 10 the aroused
sympathieS of her population. Whatever may
be her impotence and possible sense of Luz
initiation, the situation compels her to wait
II is impossible to deny that Russia's en-
trance into the war, although not yet ir-
revocably assured, is becoming very probable.
And it is equally certain that, in that case,
she will reveal an amount of quiet preparation
which will enable her to strike telling blows
If the report of a concentration of over $1,000
troops ut Tifis be true, it indicates an lmme-
date invasion of Armenia and the seizure OF
the southern shore of the Black Sea, thus cut
ting off from Turkey the aid of her eastern
provinces in Asia. We shall also doubtless
find that influences have been at work pre-
pairing for movements in Greece and Crete.
All the threads of hostility to Moslem rule in
Europe are now helu Ill tue minus vi i'o'
and her statesmen know how to KNIT
them into q powerful strand of alll-
ance. These facts, no less than the
natural reluctance or the temporary embarrass-
mcnts of the European Powers, will tend to
hold them back from speedily choosing an
active part in the struggle. They will all
wait and allow their course to be decided by
events as they arise. If Russia pauses short
of the attainment of her ultimate designs, she
may confine the war to the East, without in
volying Europe. The chance of dong so will
certainly be allowed TO her. and thus, although
the hope of peace has almost disappeared, the
prospect of general European war is sllll Tor
n time delayed. But the uncertainty OF the
situation is in itself sufficient misfortune FOR
Europe.

At the spontaneous rally of :" Mr. OBnenS
supporters" in Continental Hall on Tuesday
evening. Mr.. OBren made very forcIble
Grafton. and Mr. O'Brien's supporters greeted
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr. O'Bren's rhetoric with
such an cbullient enthusiasm that no UNI
preiudiced observer will dispute Mr.. O'Briens
title TO be ranked as chieltaln among re-
formers. A chicftan who can fill hall with
his supporters" whenever he chooses to kindle
his beacon fires is not to be spoken OF irreYer-
emily. and when the wolf is ut the door and the
country is stricken with the paralysis OF Hard
Times, it becomes an oppressed people to give ear
IN his words of warning. According to Mr..
O'Brien the country's salvation depends upon
an equitable divide. He declared himself eager
to toll for Tildcn and Reform, but "he dld
mot believe in John MOrrsScy and John

been charged upon Mr.. O'Bricn that he had

Now If Mr.. Ol}ren when he happens to be
running for something contributes quietly

the spoilsl 4 paltry fifty dollars Is the
sum total that Mr.. O'Bricn puts TO his
credit, and that too wrcnched from
the reluctant banker by this same

is in honor bound to see this fifty thousand or
Law down his hand. The cause of Reform Is
pleading for a square game. If Mr.. MorriSsey
desires to escape hostile criticism let him adopt
some plan Of systematic bcnctcence lie might
agree 10 give all the money his banks clear on
the Holy Sabbath. Or he might consecratc a
certain card on the layout to the cause OF Re

more generously devote that portion OF
his income which is derived from splits to
the same lofty purpose. At all events Mi.

precisely what this wise old gentleman thinks
will follow the election of Hayesf "Bank-
"ruptcy.n he says. And Anarchy And
"the Rule of the Sword, welded by Fools for
"the benefit of Knaves." This is the wailing
way in which he puts it. There is something
very Oracular in the last prediction, and we
are left to conjecture who the Fools are to
whom allusion is made and who the knaves.
As for national insolvency, we are certain
that it will not be averted by any agree
ment of the National Government to assume,
for it would be a long time before it paid, the
debt of the Rebellion. AS for anarchy, the
Democrats of South Carolina are showing us
what we are to expect in that State and
Others should the Democrats succeed in elect
ing their candidate. SO, upon the whole, II
we are to have anarchy anyhow, we prefer
not to have it under a Democratic admins
tration, since Democrats have not been III the
habit of prescribing for that kind of COM
plant, and might make the last condition OF
the South worse than the first.
We trust that Gov Allen will live to see
that worse things might have happened than
the election of another Republican President.
We think him right in believing the election
of Gov. Hayes all but certain, but his esti-
mate of the effects Of that election SAVIOR more
of his fears than of his judgment. We are
satisfied however, that the Democrats Will do
well not to invite their old patriarch to any
more conferences. He might not do much
good by attending, and he might do infinite
harm by refusing to attend.

THE DESPONDENCY or cor. ALLEN.

We spoke the other day-we hope with Il
sufficiently respectful feoing-of the profound
Gloom into which the venerable Gov. Allen of
Ohio had been plunged by the anticipation OF
n Democratic defeat in that State. The event
having justified his forcboding, we are some
what sorry to hear that the Governor Is more
melancholy than ever, and seems to nave
abandoned all hope, if he ever had any OF
the election of Gov. Tidcn His opinion Is
unoucstionably valuable, for he has seen many
c,mpaicns, nor is he deficient i'll political
valor When, therefore, n veteran chief like
GOV. Allen refuses to attend council OF
war. convened to consider how the flower of
safety may be plucked from the nettle OF
danger; when he remains, so to speak, III MS tent,
the presumption is that he gives it up. The
Ohio Democrats were to meet III Columbus on
the 17th inst to consider the ways and means
of getting out of a bad scrape, and they naturally
desired the presence of their old leader. He
rcpled that lit would be impossible for him
:. TO come" In addition, he minated that in
his opinion "the triumph of the Republican
4" party' would be about nine times worse
than fire, or famine, or pestilcnce, or slaughter,
or all four together. Now, sage who can
write in that funeral way must pretty surely
anticipate the catlstrophes to which he SOL
EMMY alludes. 1t is all very well for him to talk
about working cup to the last moment of the
CONTEST 1t reminds us of the brave in the
ballad, who when his legs were cut of, still
" fought upon his stumps.n But it is hardly
to be supposed that the soldier without legs
thought to turn the adverse tide of the battle.
Gov. Allen expects to be on the losing side,
! but "work up to the last moment" is his
motto. To be sure, he should have practiced
as he preached, and so attended the Columbus
funeral. Evidently he didn't think that it
would amount to much, and for once we are
glad to agree with him.
