NEW YORK, Nov. 29-The Times, ed
itorially discussing the question wheth-
er the presence OF troops was necessary
at Columbia yesterday, reviews the
events in that city for the past
week or more, and quotes from yester-
days World to show the determination
OF the Democrats to acquire control oil
the State by force, if necessary. 1t
argues that Federal interference was
never more necessary than yesterday,
and considered the presence of troops
necessary. 1t says that law and right
are on the side Of the Republicans, and
nothing the Supreme Court Of the State
has done divests the Democratic pro-
ceedlngs OF the laWlessness which is
their principal characteristic.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Herald edi.
toriaily congratulates the country that
there was no breach of peace at Column
bia, South Carolina, yesterday, and says

What the Tribune Says.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Tribune, ed
itoriaIly commenting upon President
Grants course in South Carolina, say
he has done thus far just what the Cou-
stitution requires. 1t is not his duty to
ask whether injustice is done by the de.
cislon of a proper tribunal. His part is
to see that no resort to force or violence
shall be perpetrated, that every lawful
decision shall be respected until re-
Yersed by lawful means. In such rigid
enforcement of the law is our only
safety. The Tribune indorses President
GRANTS course in the present Southern
troubles, and feels assured that through
his timely actions all questions viii be
settled peacefully.
