The great problem growing out OF the
var has been to preserve the forms and
spirit Of our Republican institutions In
the South. No party was ever called to
The discharge OF a more difficult mission
Ih,n the party that put down the rebel
lion. How to preserve the results OF the
var and at the same time rehabilitate the
South was the great problem Of recon.
maciion. Upon one side was the Dsmo.
uitic party, demanding the restoration
athc status quo, as near as possible, in
The South. Upon the other the South
iyeIF, thoroughly disalFacled towards the
t,uIs Of the war. The Republican
p.rty was called to work between and to
IctEtain extent along with these two ele.
meats. The great danger was that il tho
SOUTH was speedily restored to her inau.
sncs 10 the government, she might, In
connection with Northern allies, attempt
Igteat II not radical reaction, psrhap,
@ths point Of repudiating the National
lebt.
The fual solution OF the vexed problem
q. the adoption Of the Fourteenth and
fifteenth Amendments 10 the Constitu.
ton Of the United States. These amend
u'at' gave the colored people OF the
South the right to vote. The theory was
thai tue cOlored vote would antagonize
and neusralize the diSattectcd vote OF the
whites, and thus preserve the balance oil
P'Eer in favor Of the government.
As Is we'll known, there were persons
INaud OIL. Of Congress who held that the
southern States should be governed as
territories for an indefinite period, and
that suffrage should be withheld during
that period save in the matter Of purely
0calalT4in, This idea was no. congenial
'Oths American nassc', and therefore as
an alternative to it they ratified the Con.
SHtasiOnas Amendments which conferred
suffrage upon the colored race.
1t !" no secret tha. the Democratic
party have been peralstently disatfected
towards Negro Suffrage. Although final.
EIorced TO speak Of it in their National
Platforms as a fact accomplished, yet
here has been no time since its adoption
Ia which they have not been ready to
uphold the South in the practical nulli.

intention to proceed without fear or

that Of the votes cast Tilden unquestion.

speaks In severe terms Of Ex' Governor
Wells, saying: "This man has the des.

him whom Sheridan once removed from
Office for being, as hs said, an impedi-
ment TO execution" Mr.. Watterson re-

COLUMBIA, November l7,-No final de.
cision is yet made by the Supreme Court
in the matter Of the writs OF mandamus

termediary order, authorizing The Can.
vasSers to aggregate the statements OF
the County Election Commissioners and
ascertain who have received the greateAt
number Of votes and certify the result to
court. This is entirely In the line Of the
writs asked for, and, under this order the
Board are at work.
A committee OF Democrats and Repub.
licans being present the Board will first
canvass the vote for Presidential Elec-
tors.
The Board OF CanvaSsers, proceeding
under the order OF the Supreme Court 10
aggregate the vote Of the State for Presi.
Dental electors and for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, have canvassed the
vote Of Eve counties for the former and
ten for the latter, without announcing
the result. A large number Of protests
are being filed by both parties, and irreg-
ularities existing in several counties
have been discovered. The order Of the
court does not define the powers or iunc.
tions Of the Board. Apelition for awrit
OF prohibition against the exercise Of
judicial powers Is held under advisement,
and the Board Is required to certify the
count OF the vote 10 the court. TO-.

ciars correspondent relates one 'vouched
for BY men worthy OF all belief" Grant,
Bristow and Pierrepont were in CONVEX
sstion regarding Babcock's trial. The
president declared that he would 20 to
st. Louis and give his testimony in favor
OF his secretary, and informed Bristow
that he did not approve OF his prosecu-
ton OF the whiskey ring-that he UNI
derstood the plan of building up Bristow
at the expense Of Grant. Bristow was
astonished and dismayed. Pierrepont
mildly suggested that the president was
possibly hasty aud severe in his judg.
ments, and was informed by Grant that
when he wished advice from members OF
the cabinet as to his personal affairs, he
would inform them.
The story" says the correspondent,
''has some marks Of improbabifity, but IL
Is 30 excellcntly vouched for that it seems
unwise to entirely dlscredit it,"
