your honest sentiments and let the people
of the North understand that, in truth, you
have no real American pride in your rebel

love for the Lost Cause, which prompts
you TO glorify the deeds and memories of
your Confederate leaders, while you repu-
diate every true national Inspiration. Gov

inclination of his "people' when he de-
cllned to allow the Mother of Presidents"

JUST at this time the South Carolina
Democrats are very busy in their endeavors
to have the world believe that they are
not human monsters and that they do not
conspire to have citizens murdered in open
day simply because they persist In their
allegiance to the Republican party.
While Haskell, the chairman of the Ku-
Klux committee, atColumbia, would fain
have the public believe that peace and
order reigns in South Carolina, yet he
gives no assurances that the scenes which
occurred st Hamburg and Lsurens and
Ellenton will not again. be exhibited in
that God -forsaken State. The public is
apt to pay but little heed to Mr.. Haskell's
protestatons when it calls to mind the
ghastly scenes at these places, and unless
the rifle clubs at once disband and give up
their arms it will reasonably be expected
that other murders will take place. The
murders which have recently disgraced
South Carolina are but as the skirmishes
which always precede the battle, and we
are of the opinion that if troops are not
generally distributed throughout that State
on election day there will be mammoth
uprising on the part of Hampton's forces
which will consign hundreds of Republi-
cans TO bloody graves. Hampton and his
followers are now comparatively quiet,
but it is only the crouch of the rebel tiger
before IFS leap on the 7th of November.

THE withdrawal of Mr.. Whitehouse
from the contest for Congress against
General Ketcham in the Poughkeepsie

caused by his antipathy to Tilden. He is
known 10 have declared this antipatby in
the most emphatic manner before the st.
Louis nominations, and to have said that
he could not with any sense of selfrespect
allow his name to be printed On the same
ticket with Tilden's. Besides this, his
last canvass is said to have cost him large
sums of money-away up among the tens
and filties of thousands. In view of these
facts, and particularly of the disafection
against Tilden engendered by Mr.. White

sible that General Ketcham may be

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, in stupid
article on the political situation in South
Carolina, denounces the proposition to send
Federal troops into that State, and con-

at does not, or should not, concern the
Federal Government whether Mr.. Chamber
lain or his opponent is elected Governor of
South Carolina; it concerns only she people of
that State, and they should be eft to settle 1t

Here the Inquirer blenders fearfully.
If it does not concern the Federal Govern
ment whether State enjoys republican
form of government or not, of what use is
the written Federal Constitution, with its
guarantees, under which we live? Again,
how can there be fair and unrestrained

moro powerful than the present State ad-
ministration interposes to put down vio-
lence and disband the armed White

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World writes s'of the notorious Major Mer-
Grill, who was convicted of taking q bribe
while in command in South Carolina. |"
Here is something made out Of whole cloth.
If Major Merrill has ever been tried or
convicted for any offense there must be re-
cords in existence to prove it, and we defy
the correspondent in question to produce
them. 1t is true that Major Merrill did
take q number of Ku-Klux prisoners in
1912, who were convicted and sent to
the Albany penitentiary. That is all the
taking and convicting connected with his
record in South Carolina that We know Of.
Perhaps the World man does not know the
difference between bribe and Ku-Klux.
They are both dirty things to handle.

A SUNDAY PAPER which earns its Demo

tude of its vagaries, to use mild term,
says:
Public Printer Clspp went to Ohio and
worked against Hon. John L. Vance for re-
election to Congress. On the 5th of March,
1877, President Tlden will, in all probability,
make Hon. John L. Vance Public Printer.
If the latter proposition should prove as
untruthful as the first is known to be, no.
body will be hurt. We are assured that
Public Printer Clapp has not been in the
Stale of Ohio within year past. Vance
was killed by the recoil of his own gun.
His own people became tired of him and he
was dropped from the roll.

In their speculations regarding the re-
suit of the November election in New
York the political gossips all seem to lose
sight Of the fact that the Cooper-Cary
ticket cannot fail to draw strength from the
Democratic ranks. The Republicans of
the Empire State are all hard-money men,
while the Democrats are divided, some of
them, and not an insignificant number,
being in favor of soft money. These facts
encourage the belief that from 10000 to
40, 600 votes may be taken away from that
hard-soft or anything-you-like hypocrite,

REPRESENTATIVE RIDDLE, (Democrat) }
of Tennessee, distinguished himself during
the last session of Congress by introduc
ing a sweeping and all-comprehensive
Southern-Rebel- Claims bill, of which the
following is copy:
A BILL DIRECTING COMPENSA-
TION TO BE ALLOWED FOR THE
USE AND OCCUPATION OF PROP
ERTY BY THE UNITED STATES
ARMY DURING THE LATE WAR.
Be il enacted By the Senate and House of
Representatives. Of the D,sited States of Amer
iea IN Congress assembled, That the Secretary
of War be, and he is hereby, authorized to
allow reasonable compensation to all citizens
of the United States for the use and occupa-
tioD of their property by the United States
army, or any part thereof, during the late
civil war, in the same manner and under the
same regulations as compensation Is now al
lowed for QuarterInaster stores used by said
army: PTOVided, hoIre1er, That the affidavit
of the claimant, supported By the competent
testimony of any reputable citizen, shall be
sufficient proof 10 establish the fact of the
use and occupation of such property by said
army. But il is not the intention of this act
TO limit the parties to the amount of proof
herein specified, but other and additional
testimony may be taken to establish the fact
of the use and occupation AMI the rental value
of the property occupied.
The most casual reading of this bill dis
closes its extravagant intent. "All citizens
of the United States who may present
claims for property of any kind used or de-
stroyed by the Union army could collect
them from the Treasury if the bill should
become law. The citizens of any village
or hamlet in the South could, under its
provisions. agree to sustain each others
claims, and the Government would become
liable for the amount no matter what the
antecedents of the claimants might have
been. No doubt Mr. Riddle saw tina! there

THE people of the North are beginning
TO understand the Southern situation SO
thoroughly that Governor Chamberlain's s
demand for troops in South Carolina meets
with words of approval throughout that
entire section. 4 few months ago, when
Chamberlain on the one side and Lamar on
the other were gushing over pretended
Centennial reconciliation, things were diff
ferent and for the time being the eyes of
the North were closed to the true condition
of affairs They have been opened now,
however, thanks to the Mississippi plan
and the shotgun policy. The Govern
meat could not do anything that would be
more popular in the North than to use its
utmost power for the protection Of citizens

The Pay of Naval Officers.
[From the New York TIMES.

Certain newspapers are engaged in abusing
Secretary Robson for carrying out the spirit
of the naval appropriation bill in regard to the
pay of unemployed officers OF the navy.
While admitting, what cannot be denied, that
the House of Representatives, against the
representations of the Secretary, and in the
face of his estimates, and for the purpose of
making false show of economy, reduced the
appropriation for "pay of the navy" below the
amount necessary for the proper payment of
the officers and men under existing laws, they
still attack the Secretary because he feels
bound, under the circumstances, to use all
the authority the law gives him to bring the
actual expenses of this fund as near as posi-
BILE to the sum fixed by Congress. The simple
facts of this matter lie in a nutshell, and are
as follows:
Out of the appropriation for "pay of the
navy" are paid, first, all the salaries or
"pay" of the officers and men Of the navy;
second, all the travelling or transportation ex-
penses of the officers of the navy under orders.
That is what the appropriation is made for, and
it cannot be drawn from the Treasury for any
other purpose, nor can any money not appro-
priated be drawn for these purposes. There
are lOur klDus OF y pay nXeu Oy law IOr OIL
GERS of the navy: First, "sea pay," when the
officer is on duty actually at sea second,
'other duty pay" when he is on duty other
than at sea third, "waiting orders' or "leave
of absence pay" when he is waiting orders or
on leave; fourth, "furlough pay" when he is
on furIoueh. This last is the smallest pay
known to the law, and is one half of 'waiEing
orders pay. 1t is small pay; and though not
smaller in proportion than the pay of the civil
service when in full employment, yet 1t is un-
doubtedly inadequate for the proper support
of the families OF many naval officers in these
expensive times. Thus, of late years, officers
have not been put on furlough except at their
own request, or as a punishment for some
wrong indeed, the present Secretary has, we
believe, been very chary in using this power,
and has exercised 1t, during his long term OF
office, only in one or two cases of gross mis-
conduct.
The amount actually required to discharge
the legitimate demands upon the appropriation
for ''pay Of the navy" as the navy was en-
ployed last year, was the sum of 1900, 900.
The estimates of the Navy Department sent to

THE Democratic journals in Massichu-
sets are trying to prove that Charles
Francis Adams was an Abolitionist during
the days of the Abolition party. In the
same breath they denounce the results of
abolition in the Southern States as the
cause of all the poverty and misery which,
they allege, exists in that section. And
Charles Francis has not yet accepted the
nomination to be Governor from the

This is a mistake. North Carolina has

reconstruction, and will repeat the salts
factory experiment this year. While the
