THE FACTS ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA.

THE FACTS ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA.
We print elsewhere this morning alto
petber the most important document which
has reached the public since the recent
outbreaks at the South began. 1t is
letter from Gov. Chamberlain Of
South Carolina to THE TRIBUNE, telling the
story of the rifle clubs and his reasons for
invoking Federal interference. 1t Is cam de-
tailed, precise and, to all appearances, abso-
lutcly truthful. 1t comes from the same Gov
ernor of the State whom three months ago
Democrats culOGzed more. enthusiastically
than Republicans and until 1t is conclusivcy
met in the same spirit. the North Will accept
il as the simple and entire truth.
No fair man can read Gov. ChamberlaIn's
letter and continue to doubt that there was and
is real necessity for the presence of United
States troops in South Carolina. If the mas
sacre of one gathering of cOlOrcd citizens, who
had assembled in the exercise OF rights guar
antced by the Constitution has been prevented,
that alone abundantly justiiics the precautions
taken. But where such a spuit exists rs Is
shown, for instance, by the armed COM
panies commanded by Butler. it is abb
surd to deny that many other out
breaks would have occurred but for those
precautions. Indeed so defiant and des-
perate are the men engaged in this Infamous
work of "reformn with rifles, that it is not by
any means certain that serious difficulty may not
vet occur before obedience to the Constitution
can be secured in South Carolina.
The Democratic party has disgraced itself
quite enough by its sympathy with rebellion
and with systematic assassination. But its
conduct respecting the situation in South Caro-
lima reflects blacker disgrace than ever upon
it. Look at the facts! Three months ago it
was not denied by Democratic journals that
Gov. Chamberlain deserved the highest credit
for resisting corruption i'll his own party. 1t
was even proposed, by many of the ablcst, to
nominate him as the Democratic candidate.
Now the Democratic party of South Carolina
is organized to prevent his election by assassi-
nation and massacre, and Democratic jour
mails at the North stoop to the intamy OF
asserting that the rifle clubs are merely
"fghting corruption" and that it is an out
rage to interfere with them!
This business is painfully simple. The United
States has granted suffrage to the colored
people. 1t is bound by the most sacred obi
cations to defend its citizens in the enjoyment
of their constitutional rights. Those who shoot
down citizens in order to prevent a-free cleo
ton are as truly rebels as those who fired
upon Fort Sumter. though infinitely meaIer

COZ TJLDEN'S LETTER.

The universal alarm at the Southern claims
for damages during the war has penetrated
the Democratic citadel. For the first time III
the campaign, if not for the first time in his
political life, Gov. Tilden has been startled
into prompt action. The panic in the Demo-
cratic camp, indeed has been so great as to
induce the managers to forego the customary
reserve with which a Presidential candidate is
expected to hedge himself about. Gov. Til
den has been induced to violate the
usages speak in his own name, and appear in
the newspapers in a card over his own sigma
ture, setting forth what he would not do about
Southern claims III case he were elected to
the Presidency. He rccites very properly the
constitutional provision on the subject and his
own public cOmmttals, most of which are
greatly to his credit. He then says, with more
distinctncss than we are used To III his prOduc-
tions, that so far as it would depend on him, if
he were elected President, no claim for any loss
or damage incurred by disloyal persons arising
from the late war, whether forbidden by the
Constitutional Amendment or not, would be
recognized or paid.
We congratulate the country very heartily
that the agitation Of this subject has thus
avertcd the greatest danger connected with it,.
After this cOmmttal, the bald robbery of the
treasury by the payment of these Southern
claims in the naked form i'll which they have
been hitherto presented. would be impossible,
even if the disaster of IA Democratic triumph
through solid South should Oycrtake us.
But, although the most startling, that has
never been the most imminent peril. Ii was
too gross, too open, too repulsivc to the COM
mon sense of the whole country. The effective
Southern approaches to the treasury are likely
to be made by covered ways. If the South
cannot be reimbursed directly for its losses by
the war, it can be indirectly. 1t can have
enormous subsidies granted 10 build railroads
out into the wilderness, to dig new lines of
water communication, to rebuild broken levees,
to repair in hundred ways the ravages of war by
public improvements, to distribute throughout
the whole Southern region, under such covers,
the same money which it would be plainly i'm
possible to get on direct appeal for rem-

THE BROOKLYN REGIS7RATYON.

The total number of persons registered IN
Brooklyn is 9S, S,SOG. This is 2l,348 greater
than in 1872, when Mr.. Greeley carried the
county by 4,739 majority; and 2S,2S2 larger
than the registration of 1874, when Tilden
carried the county by 12,99S majority. The
registration this year is at the rate OF III
4.S1 of the population. The registration oil
1875 was / in 6.3S; that of 1S72 was l In
G.3s of the population Of 1873. This of itself
is pr;rna facie evidence of fraudulent registra-
tion.
We again urge on individual voters to super
wise the lists, look for the names OF all persons
registered from their houses, and where fraud
is detected report it to the Supervisors in order
that arrests may follow and the fraudulent
vote be prevented. Each citizen has right
70 supervise the list, and by doing so he can
give the United States Supervisors material
aid. 1t is of no consequence to which party
the repeater prctends to belong; expose any
and all who would violate the sanctty of the
ballot-box The consequence OF such corrup-
ton was graphically pictured by Mr.. Greeley
in his letter of 1862 charging upon Mr. Ill
den the responsibility for the gross frauds OF
1868. He wrote the man in whose interests
these very frauds are now being perIstrated
in this strong language of prophecy:
The matter to which call your attention Is vital to
the very existence OF FREQ popular government when
ever It shall be generally understood that the results OF
the elections determined by the ballots OF legal
voters but ry frauds In voting or frauds IN counting

GEN. CROOK'S LATEST NOFFMENT
The intelligence which we publish this morn
ing from the Red Cloud Agency, via Fort
Laramie, is important and encouraging. 1t
wos already understood that the agencies were
among the principal sources of mischief, and
that the Indians openly in arms relied upon
them for absolutely necessary supplies. Mat
ters came TO a point on the Odd inst. The
Indians who some time ago left the Red Cloud
Agency had cncampcd at Chadron Creek,
about - miles eastward, sending III the sqlaWs
to draw their mtions. Gen. Crook arrived
at Red Cloud on the 10th, and notice
was Immediately given that no more rations
would be issued until the tribes came into the
agency The Little Mounds complied; but
the bands of Red Cloud and Red Leaf refused
TO do So, and kept up their lntcrcommunica-
ton with the hostile tribes, many of their
warriors going north. Ii was supposed that
in the Spring all these would be in active hos
tility.
Under these circumstances Gen. Crook acted
promptly and decidedly. He concentrated the
forces under Gen. Merritt upon the Red Cloud
Agency. All the available force of cavalry
under Gen. Mackenzie was marched upon
Chadron Creek. The camp of Red Leaf was
surrounded, and without u shot fired these
troublesome tribes, with all their squaws,
children ponies, and arms were captured.
Red Cloud has been dcposcd and Spotted
Tail made chief of all the Sioux. The ad-
vantages of this successful movement are
plain and numerous. The line is distinctly
drawn. The agencies can no longer be used
as a base of supplies for the hostile Indians
Gen. Crooks command will receive consider
able rcrnforcements of soldiers, and we may
now more confidently look for IN adjustment
of our frontier difficulties.

An opportunity will be given tonight at
Cooper Institute to hear two notable speeches.
Attorney-General Taft has been compelled by
the requirements of his official position to de-
vote especial attention to the disturbances in
South Carolina, which are to-day the foremost
theme in political discussion, and his we'll
known moderation and fairness will make what
he is likely to say on that subject of great
weight and moment. The other speaker is
another Ohio RepublCan-Mr. Murat Halstcad
of The Cincinnati Commercial. Mr.. Halstcad
makes his first appearance before New-I York
audience, but is not altogether new to
speech-making. Now and then he is screnadod
in Cincinnati, and when the band fails to
come around he prints, in his dry way, the
impromptu speech he would have made, with
the remark that it was too good to lose. We
may add, however, that the band, knowing
what good speech is, very seldom fails to come
around. We advise all the New Workers that
can to como around too.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-25

1t has been apparent for some time past that
absolute harmony in the Democratic ranks III
this State was not to be expected. The Dem
ocratc National ticket, comprising one hard
and one sOft-mOney man; the State ticket
made up of a majority of former Republicans
and the local ticket, composed of a few honest
men sandwiched between demagOgues and
ruffians, are so incongruOus that diSsenson was
inevitable 1t has developed in most vigorous
form at last Mr. Tilden, it is said, suspects Tam
many Hall of disposition to sacrifice him forts
local candidates. AS a defense, he has organ
lied another Democratic local faction antag-
onistic to Tammany and true to himself. He
sets the two factions by the ears and doubt
less by election day they will bc cutting each
others thrOats. 1t would be strange if he got
no hurt in such a treachcrous fight.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-25

In Spain the Republican movement appears
to be gaining ground. The arrest OF four
generals and of several civilians in the north
ern provinces indicates that the Government Is
alarmed. The Cubans must benefit by this
counter conspiracy.

And those who sympathize and apologize, and

They were both cowardly and dlsloyal then,

of that State have just compelled President

The nomination of Nicholas Muller ex-

District is the latest political burlesque by
Tammany Hall.
New-York tribune., 1876-10-25

Senator Conkling has already given the best
possible refutation to the rumOrs that he dld
not at heart desire the election of Gov. Hayes
and Gov. Morgan by making long and care
full speech in spite of the protests of his
physicians, and he is determined, so letter
from a staff correspondent reports, on making
still another. His condition, nevertheless, is
evidently such that he might with entire JUS
tice claim a place on the sick list. While the
active management of the party in Oneida
County has passed out of the hands of his
personal friends, there is no reason to suspect
any such secret opposition as has been charged
upon them. Oneida County ought to be good
for an old-fashOned Republican majority.

Seeing that she cannot withstand Russia
Turkey has consented to the six weeks
armistice, which the latter demanded. Having
earned this pOmt Russia is willing to submit her
other demands to a conference, with the un-
derstanding, no doubt, that it will promptly
sanction them. But peace is not yet Servla
and Montenegro must be consulted. The latter
has already asked for the surrender of MOstar
the capital of Herzegovina-prior to consent
ing to the armistice. As their protector,
Russia can of course induce these States to
acquiesce in her proposal, but she will not
coerce them should the fortune of war render
truce undesirable. The direct result of the
recent commotiOn has been to make Russia
master of the situation. Upon her depends
