Two articles appeared in the Sentinel of
Saturday last, one referring to the i'm
parchment Of Grant, the other to the negro
riot in this city on the night Of the cleo
ton. The latter article only is the sub
ject of the present notice. Had ii been
written by some maudlin pen it could not
have been more illogical or more incoher-
emit. Its distinguishing peculiarities clearly
indicate which of the iSentiaefs numerous
editorial staff is entitled to the honor Of
its. paternity That, however, is unim,
portant. The drift Of the writer is de-
NAL that there was riot on the occasion.
About that there need be no dispute; the
facts as given in evidence before the JUS
tice, settle that matter The bailiff and
his assistants prove that violence was used.
The chief was knocked down with clubs by
colored men, receiving two stunning blows
upon the head and several kicks in the
side, and blows were received also by
his assistants while engaged in the effort
to quell the disorder. The short bludg-
cons with which the rioters were armed,
prove that there was previous concert and
preparation; but this inferential evidence
is supported by the fact that one of the
negroes arrested told the Justice, in sup
posed extenuation of his offence, that he
was urged into it by one Of the party who
escaped arrest. No one possessing CON-
mon sense and common honesty can deny
that the state of things revealed by these
facts was riot. We leave the question Of
veracity, therefore, to be settled between
the Sentinel and the negro. Mr.. Zeiber
the policeman, is man of responsibility
and Republican, and gave us the nara
tive of the circumstances from his owr
lips, while Justice Crapster, who heard the
evidence and committed such of the rioter,
as were arrested, affirms that one of then
declared it to have been preconcerted
thing, and that he himself had been pre-
viously urged into it. In the light o.
these facts, as accessible to the Sentinel al
to us, this community can see at glanc,
who it is that has descended SO low" al
to ignore the facts in the case to serve the
interests of party.

A REPENTANT REPuBLIcAN.-T The
Nation, an influential Republican journal
supported Hayes for President, but has
repented of its folly. II says, after re-
viewing the canvass, eve asked ourselves
whether if, in July last. We had been in
vited to support Hayes on platform COM
posed exclusively of outrages, southern
claims, Tilden's income tax, Terre Haute
and Brady's Bend frauds, danger to the
public credit and nocturnal resumption,
with Chandler, Blaine, Morton and Bob
Ingersoll as head managers, We would have
consented, and we found we had no diff
Guilty in saying decidedly NO." We think
it likely there are many others like the
Nation, who have repented since the
election, but their repentance comes too
late to avail for good. 1t may profit some,
to read its resume or review Of the late
canvass, which we insert upon the first
page under tho caption Of Elements of
the Campaign"

The New York Tribune 'has not loved
President Grant" yet thanks God that he
is in the White House. 1t is assuring
to find that that political pharisee and
hypocrite has grace enough to thank God
for anything. 1t has the audacious men,
dacity to speak Of the resistance to a
fraudulent count in the disputed States as
"a new rebellion" and has become as reck-
lessly vile in its assertions as the Times
itself The leading Radical press halts at
nothing; it swears that dishonesty is hon
esty, thatpeaceful methods to secure rights
invaded is rebellion; that settled and de-
termined purpose to commit the grossest
of frauds is fair count Of votes; that
falsehood is truth; that vice is virtue; and
all with an unctuous aud sanctimonious
pretense of fairness and truth. 1t is diff.
cult to conceive to what greater lengths
such unmitigated diabolism can go.

The 22d Joint Rnls.

The 22d Joint Rule Of Congress. passed
February 6, 1865, which was published
in the Advocate Of the 18th ult. has regu-
lated the opening and counting of the
Electoral votes at the last three Presiden-
tial elections. That rule has never been
repealed. Although the Senate attempted
to repeal it at the last session, the House
did not concur. Il is, therefore, clearly
in force still. This rule assigns to the
President Of the Senate the duty Of open
ing the certificates Of the electoral votes,
but the counting Of them has to be doue
by three tellers, one Of the Senate and
two Of the House. If in counting the
votes any question or objection arises no
question shall be decided afirmatively, and
no vote objected to shall be counted ex-
cept by the concurrent votes Of the two
Houses. It will thus be seen, that unless
preliminary Legislation is had in Congress
before the second "Wednesday of February
next, for the better regulation Of the count
Of the electoral vote, there is a probability
Of a disagreement between the two houses
of Congress which may prolong the Presi-
dental struggle and lead to the gravest
consequences. Either house can object
to counting the vote of any State believed
to be fraudulent, and no question can be
settled without a concurrent vote Of the
two. There seems, therefore, to be no
way out of the difficulty at present, unless
further legislation shall bringrelief. With
out it, violence, or revolution, peaceful or
otherwise, must supervene. A spirit OF
forbearance and mutual concession and
compromise may bring healing upon its
wings, but if Grants brutality and biz
bayonets be the only reliance of the Rad
icals then may be anticipated the mos
lamentable consequences.

South Carolina.

The members of the South Carolina
Legislature assembled at the State House
in Columbia Tuesday The building was
garrisoned by U. S. troops, and at first no
ore was allowed to enter except on pass
from Jones, the Clerk Of the old House,
or from U. s. Marshal Dennis. Finally,
at the request of General Hampton, Gen.
Kruger changed the orders so as to allow
any one to pass the sontinels who claimed
to be elected a member of the Legislature,
After gaining admission, the Democratic
members, headed by the delegation from
Edgefeld and Laureus counties, proceed
cd to the door Of the House of Represen-
tatiges, but the certificates of the Edge
field and Laurens delegates being declared
invalid by the doorkeepers, the entire body
of Democrats withdrew. They assembled
in front of the State House, where a pro-
test, signed by all of them, GA in number,
was read, The Republican members, SO
in number, who were admitted to the hall
before the Democrats, had organized pre-
vious to the appearance of the latter by
electing e. W. NJ Mackey as Speaker,
and re-electing Jones us Clerk. The body,
thus organized, consisted of filty-four ne
groes and five whites A prominent Re-
publican Representative, named Reddick,
refused to take part in the proceedings,
and withdrew with the Democrats. Anoth-
or Republican-who subsequently joined
the Dcmocrats-was absent. The Demo-
cratic members, after holding caucus in
a neighboring hall, adjourned until eve
ming. When they reassemblcd, there be-
ing present the "a Democrats and two
Republicans, an organization was effected,
which will claim recognition as the lawful
House, Each House on Wednesday de-
mand from the Secretary of State the re-
turns of the vote for Governor. The So
members who constitute the Republican
House are one less than the number claimed
by the Republicans to be quorum, and
five less than the number necessary for a
quorum according to the Democratic reck-
oning.

In South Carolina, Louisiana and Flor

their own hands, and had troops to main.
tain order and to prevent frauds. How,
then, can they allege fraud and intimida,

We have now published the statements
Of Professor Sumner, Of Yale College, Ex-
Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and Judge
Static, all Republicans of liberal type,
who went to New Orleans to investigate
the late election and to understand the
situation in the disputed Southern States,
aud all have concurred in saying that the
election was fair one, and that in their
opinion Gov. Tilden was fairly elected.
This is valuable testimony, which may
have its due weight in Congress and with
the people, but it is lost upon the Republi-
can party and upon the returning boards,
which determined from the first to count
Tilden out and Hayes in. Words are Of
no avail, now. Grant and his conspirators
are proof against all remonstrance. They
are determined to count Hayes in.
