spirit of the Washington govern
ment, uttered in tho circular of the
attorney general, was made mani
fest. Now was Chamberlain's op-
portunity come. He hastcned to
Washington, made friends with
Honest John Patterson, and the two
made such representations to the
Cabinet as to convey tho idea that
the only chance to prevent q bloody
conflict in South Carolina was to
Hood the State with United States
soldier s, and with mlrshlis clothed
with unlimited authority. This won
him mtny new supporters, and the
opposition to him was practically
at an end. He is now the candidate
of the Republican party, and mum
bers among his friends the very
worst. lowest and most dangerous
men in the party. He has made
concessions to the bad elements, and
we may expect him to yield stu
further to their views and wishes.
He is practically the representative

gra.ed South Carolina during the
past eight years. He has now to pans

The Governors Proclamation.

Tho proclamation issued by Gov

found in another portion of this
papor-is a very good thing its way.
1t urges the people to keep the
peace, and promises that tho power
OF the State shall DO used to sup
press all outbreaks. The governor
will be sustained by the good peo-
Pic in every proper effort he may
mako to preserve the public peace.

1t is no new thing for the Radi-

little, if any, surprise felt at the

already too much of tho entire lot

Tho pretoxt for this course is the
political excitement and the intimiA
dation of witnesses. But the
effect is the rncontradicted circula>
ton of lying exaggerations and in
ventions highly beneficial to Radical
ism, and equally injurious to South
Carolina and the party supported by
her people.
