Arbitrary illegal arrests by Federal soldiers,
under the orders of Federal deputy halls
have begun in South Carolina. Governor
Cham beTlRin, candidate for reelection, op-
posed not only by the Democrats, but by q
considerable and increasing faction In his
own party, fears that he will be beaten. Ac-
cordingly he appeals TO the Federal admins
tration for the loan OF s ldiers TO help him in
timldate the recalcitrant voters. Having ar
ranged q board of State canVassers OF election
and returning beard, the majority OF whose
members are candidates on the same ticket
with him, and are thus by a monstrpus per-
version ef Justice entitled TO decide the vote
in their own favor; having further managed
that OF the ninei y-six commissioners of elec-
ton in the counties seventy should be
his declared partisans and forty ONCE
holders who hold their places by his appoint
ment; having thus prearranged the count in
his own favor, Mr.. Cham berlain now sum-
mons Federal troops and Federal authorities

in politics. And all this in the United states,
sad under the auspices OF party which once
called itself the pre- eminent friends of liberty,
and SONS of whose leading member held the
fugitive slave law TO be unconstitutional be-
cause it interfered with the rights OF the
States. Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, in q re-
Gently published letter, warned the people
against the revolutionary tendencies OF the
Republican leaders. Wss he far wrong? A
multitude OF respectable citizens, among
them al the Republican members OF the su-
preme bench Of the State, assert publicly that
there is no troU bic, no political violence or

who have been arrested have submitted Quiets
