THE Political COMPLICATIONS AND OTlIEI
MATTERS IN WALL STREET.-Ne1c York, No
vember 27.-The complications in South
Carolina have added to the fcversh feeling
in business circles, and the assembling Of
the Legislature is looked forward to with
the liveliest interest. III the majority OF the
businessmen of this city could have their
way they would settle the whole trouble by
declaring Nr. Tildcn elected, as they not
only believe he is fairly chosen, but they are
heartily sick Of the scenes OF the past three
weeks. TO take the matter into Congress
is positively dreaded, for the reason that
grave apprehensions exist as to what may
be the upshot there.
Gold is 1irmer to-day, despite the low
ruling OF sterling and the continued with
drawals Of specie from the Bank OF England
fer shipment to New York. The political
issues at home are regarded OF more vital
consequence than an increase in the stock
OF bullion, which would soon be checked
should the worst fears OF some be realized,
for i'll that event we should probably have
more United States and State bonds return
ed to us than we could conveniently take
care Of. Orders given last week for the
purchase Of railroad bonds and other sccu-
rites were to-day countermanded, owing
to the gravity OF the political situation

Moth CAEoLISA, Too.-The Radical Coy
crnor OF North Carolina takes 4 hand in
GRANTS little game, so it would seem. The
Raleigh Sentinel Of Sunday says:
Our reporter was promised yesterday the
returns OF the State vote for presidential
electors; but on applying at the office OF
the Secretary of State according to appoint
mcnt, he. was told that serious irregularities
had been discovered in some of them. and
that they were in the custody OF the Gov
ernor.
Governor Brogden beng called on stated
that he had determined to consult with the
Acknowledgement before arriving ct any
decision or allowing IN announcement OF
the result. lie said he might be able to
give some Information on Monday.

Who the dcuceis General DENNIS? Gen
cral GORDON, senator from Georgia, and
General JOHNSON, OF this city, were very
urgent in their inquiries about this General
DENNIS at the State-House in Columbia yes
terday. They even asked General DENNIS
himself who he was. He declined to inform
them. with the answer, rather impolte even
for Radical that it was none Of their bust
ness. Whether there was any energetic cx-
pletiye accompanying the reply is not stated.
LEWIS LINDSAY would have been more pol
ishcd. But now again it comes UP, Who
the deuce is General DENNIS, whose little
finger is bigger than the whole body OF
Judge MOSES and the Supreme Court OF
South Carolina? His pass is good, but
Judge Moses is nobody. Whose authority
makes DENNIS so great: That will be Il
matter of interest in our political history.
General JOHNSON commenced the search for
this information yesterday. We hope he
found it.

Mr. e q, Booth.

we have no taste for personalities as they
mostly appear in these days, and we are us
inclined to puffing--if for no better reason
for TINT Of Sir PETER TEAzLE: that this
"is a damned bad world, and the fewer
people we praise in it the better" But we
do single out our friend and former neigh
Dor e. G. BooTH, Esq, now OF Phiiaoei-
phia, MS SO especially meriting the public
esteem In Virginia as one to be both noticed
and applauded. We had the pleasure oil
shaking his hand yesterday. His patriotism
as displayed at the Centennial was without
alloy-genuine, generous, and public-splrlt-
ed. we desired to go to the Centennial to
see Mr.. BooTH dispensing Virginia hospi-
tality mt his admirable cottage, which at
tracted so much attention in the grounds,
and which was the only real feature OF pure
republican patriotism and hearty hospitality
that adorned the place.
Old Colonel GIBSON, in court, criticlsing
an administrator account, objected to
every item in it save that for "salt"; "and
this" said he, "your Honor, Is the only
nitem in it that can save the whole from utter
putrefaction." So Mr.. BooTH's Old Vir-
ginian geniality and unselfshness was the
golden feature that illumined the "celebra-
tion,":where money-making was the object
and love of the principles OF '76 the dis
suise OF the proceeding. The Confederacy
lost all but honor, and the Centennial con-
sidered as the celebration of a great pohta-
cal ercnt, has little or nothing to brag OF
outside of Whirligis hall, in our mind,
save Mr.. BooTI' hoSpitablc house.
Mr.. BOOTH is met everywhere in his ma
tive State with the waimcst thanks ana
congratulations for his liberal and true Flr-
gilman spirit. We were pleased to hear
from him verbally that some OF the stock OF
the Centennial Virginia house remains, and
we trust yet to inhalc some OF the fragrance
of its bouquet.

The DeSnOt;Snl.

Yesterday, in Columbia, South Carolina
veiopcd. For long years it has been draped
By a ragged and tlimsy disguise, hardly
enough even for Radicalism TO swear by
but still 1t supplied sort Of apology for the
most INSCRIPTIONS partisanS. The culmi
nation in South Carolina strips the slazy
rags entirely from the despot's shoulders
and exposes him in clear light to the whole
nation.
We invite the attention Of the reader to
the exciting kilograms from Columbia. 1t
will be seen that the State-House and the
State Government are under military con-
troll, directed by Governor CHAMBERLAIN.
Only those having passes were admitted
into the balls OF the two houses Of the
Legislature.
We are glad to see the tyranny bold and
rndisguised. It simplities the affair, and
will enable the people 10 see things i'll bold
relief. Congress will understand we'll what
it has to deal with. The Empire does not
seem so far OF; yet the very holdness OF the
Slcp LOW IL bc tI| ii.S'tiiS Va eei
journing it Indefinitely. 49,.
We guess the people OF the North begin
TO understand the tyranny now. AS long
as the bayonet was employed to rule the
South it was very proper thing, or cer-
tainiy not one to raise a great excitement
about at the North. But now the bayonet
rule, although at the South, is employed to
stife the will OF the people OF the nation,
and it does not seem so fair.
The tyranny has gone far enough to raise
the question: Is it more powerful than the
people? 1t is Il critical point we have reach
cd. II there is not vitality enough in our
institutions to shield the nation, or ii there
is not popular power enough in the land to
maintain our free institutions, republican,
ism is at an end.
How absurd becomes the clam that Con
gress has no power to go behind the certiti
Gates as sent from the State in view OF TIT
lawiess uslwpation in South Carolina? Iht

These outrages will pass under review il

gress, and then we shall see whether til
military rule will be able to maintain it

spirited and yirtuouss ancestors fought LOT
principle, and not money, while the north
ern people Of these times, as lis plainly con-
ceded, will not sacrifice much for principle
as long as their wealth, and thrift, and
plenty are not putin jeopardy. The appeal
is timely and appropriate.
But the question is, Will even such an
appeal arouse people who are impenetrable
to any othcrs" There lies therub. Sordid
communities are very dull to the things that
irritate and provoke those that are generous
and proud. They are too apt to hold on to
their gains and hrs the delusion OF pas
sivity as the way to peace and success until
a conspiracy against the public liberty is ac-
complished.
Then, too, the pursuit OF commerce is
suggestive OF many strategies to defend its
followers from the eXigencies coming from
political events. So as things are being de-
veloped the traders and spectators are
probably concerning themselves more about
what will be the effect on sugar-how will
corn stand--how bacon will be affected by
"orders from these; headquarters what
will be the course OF floCr-how stocks and
finance generally take it-and, In short, what
is to be done about all these things-each
man to save himself in the shock shat may
come. And some even may begin TO
calculate" how a corner in certain
things will do in case Of hostilities. That's
it. And in tho selfish game that is thus car
ried on there win be no rallying to the
cause Of all--tlic cause OF liberty and civil
government. .. .-.
We have another view OF the case, and it
is that the history OF Radicalism involves
the decentralization Of vast population OF
all grades and classes Of people. The fc-
rocious crusade against the South, which
| led to the justification Of all outrages upon
the Constitution that were committed in
prosecuting the South, so famliariZcd men
with outrage that they have no recuperatiyc
| sense of the imminent danger in which
| those outragcS place the American Confcdc-
rated Republic.
Is not the public snirit-tle republican
spirit of the pcoplc-nearly exhausted? We
fear we may too truly say, "Wakc DUNCAN
with your Knocking"
But let us not run wild upon the subjects
OF money and sugar and corn and cake.
They are not the greatest OF all things. Nor
do we consider that ruin is TO follow any
probable event in This tecming land. y
panic will more likely proceed from the cN-
ecrablc gold and stock gamblers than from
any rational view OF The public cXigency.
II the people arc not ready to yield TO arbi-
tr:uy power they can easily show that they
are not, and so clearly that the usurper will
dcSist from his dcviltry. If they are ready,
why they will continue passive until the
consummation, and SO continue thereafter,
trading, and thriving, and fulfilling the pre-
gramme in Matthew, chaptcrI. Such things
have been, AID may be again. Nations have
aforctime driftcd through the intermediate
stages from simple rcpublicanism to the real
empire, and we don't know that there is
any insupcrablc obstacle in the way in this
country to prevent it from repeating his
tory. We once thought there was, but arc
not so sure OF it now.

and declared sanction sof those eminent
Republicans in whose moderation and Wis
dom The whole country has confidence.
There must be no more assumptions that
" all OF us approve what the wisest men,
bers OF the Cabinet condemn. There must
be no more examples Of unwarrantable
military violence which the great Republi-
can lawyers think it a duty to denounee.
We appreciate the difficulties OF the situa-
ton; but these difficulties only make it all
the more imperative that no steps be taken
without the best advice and unequiyocal
sanction Of such Republicans, both in the
Cabinet and out OF it, rs the people feel 1t
safe to lean on in great and delicate con-
iunctures.

South Carolina.

Arms prevail in the Palmetto State. The
law is still as death. Radicalism rules un-
der bayonet protection. There was great
excitement in Columbia yesterday, and
such was the pressure OF the crowd at the
State-House that HAMPTON was called upon
to induce it to dispense. True to his peace
policy, he made noble appeal to both
whites and blacks, which had the desired
effect, and relieved the Radical leaders from
some embarrassment.
If by any possible means HAMPTON gets
his seat lie cannot enter upon the duties OF
his office till the lst of January. But his
adversary being sustained by hayoncts, the
prospect is gloomy enough.
The Democratic representatives and lead
ers made Il strong protest against the mill
tary tyranny. This protest will be found
under the Geographic head OF this morn
in@'s Dispatch.
The Radicals organized both house.

spoken OF rs probable in another article in
this mornings Dispatch, written before
the telegram was received. The Democratic
House was organized in Carolina Hail, with
G4 Democrats and , Republicans acting
with them. The Republicans claimed 50,
when the Democrats say they had only SIS
sir less than a quorum. The Democratic
House is getting ready for 4 legal conflict.

Radical conspirators. and in the last day or
two there has been a good deal OF telegraph.

conferences among parties here. In only
one OF the States from which Tilden derives
his 1874 votes is there Republican Gov

State it is hoped to make up the loss, II such
should be the case, of the Oregon elector.
This accounts for the statements which were
put into circulation yesterday that one OF the
North Carolina electors was disqualified by
reason OF holding the position of deputy
claims commissioner in the State under the
Southern Claims Commission. The plan
now is to induce Governor Brogden, OF
Northern Carolina, to withhold the COM
