which now surround the country. Ever sluce
these troubles began, the unnecessary advice
for 20 other course was ever, Tor moment,
con,cmplated-o the respectable people oil all
parties 10 the North, was for the democrats of
the disputed states 10 avoid all evidence oil
lorcibIc resistance to the action Of the iniqul.
tous Returning Boards, but to appeal to the
courts, aud to rest their case entirely upon the
decision Of those courts.
The first State in which such an appeal was
made was South Carolina, and its result was as
stated. The orders Of the court we're foued
and member of the Board had DO
hestancy in expressing bis determination to
disobey them. If not revolutionary, such pro-
ceedings inaugurate anarchy, and the people
Ct the North, republicans as we'll as democrats,
as measure Of sel!-preservatlon, will see to it
that the laws be executed, that the mandate
of the court be enforced and that q fair count Of
the vote 10 South Carolina be made, aud that
fair count will uoquestionably give Mr.. Tildcn
the single vote he requires.

''rhe bi.tercs. reflection growing out OF this
retrospect is that it was not from his political
enemies alone that Gen. Grant received such
igncbe treatment lie was betrayed BY mon IN

by the people; no, not by the peoplel inc
