The True Way to Settle the Troubles
In South Carolina.

In South Carolina.
The argument that the troubles in South
Carolina are only to be reached by the inter-
ference of the federal government is wild and
revolutionary. If Governor Chamberlain
has any authority in South Carolina let him
exercise it by tha arrest and trial of the
authors of the Hamburg massacre-Sitting
Bull Butler and his Sioux. This is the way
to settle these troubles. 1t was in this way
that the Ku Klux societies in Arkansas were
suppressed by a Governor who resolved that
murder and assassination should have no
place in the politics of that State. Let
Chamberlain who has been in the army and
knows what is necessary to perform the du-
ties Of soldier, 80 into this Hamburg dis
trict in person with the militia of the State.
and arrest and try the men who were guilty
of an outrage which has brought down the
condemnation Of Mr.. Lamar and other inde-
pendent Southern men. He has no business
in Washington in conference with the Presi-
dent or the Secretary of War; His place is
ut home with his people and at the head of
the militia of the State. The Governor has
done so much to entitle him to the respect
of his people by his vigorous war upon
the Moses and Whipper Ring that we
do not like to think that he will fail now.
He has no interest higher than the pacifca-
ton of his State and the enforcement of the

that a social reform is sadly needed when

The Democratic Canvass for Governor.
The democrats have nothing to gain in
this State by seeking q strengthening plaster
for Tiden in the way of candidate for
Governor. There was an idea which attracted
for time by it's novelty, that it would be
charming illustration of harmony for the
democrats to name Mr.. Seymour for Cover
nor 1t was then learned that Mr.. Seymour
did not wish the Office, would not take it,
and had no desire to enter again into public
life. Then it was proposed that he should
be taken by force, in the old Roman-Sabine
fashion, and compelled to remain on the
ticket. But the moment the people saw this
in its true light the question arose, sis the
Governorship of this great State to be forced
upon any citizen, however eminent simply
to answer the exigencies of campaign for
the Presidency?" The more the matter was
studied the more it became apparent that
such O nomination would weaken rather
than strengthen the canvass So we may
consider Mr.. Seymour as out of the field,
and at liberty to pursue those agricultural,
piscatorial and social aims which are the
delight of an honored seclusion.
The democratic campaign in this State,
we may as well say to our democratic friends,
is not to be strengthened by any tricks or
expedients There is no man in the party
who can go into the fight as strengthening
plaster for Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Tilden does not
need such aid. He is by all odds the most
influential and eminent democrat now in the
State, and requires no help from friend or
rival. What he needs is harmony good
organization ; such ticket as will bring out
the last vote in the party. For that reason
he should go outside of the New York fac
tions which disgraced the State at Albany.
He should take man for Governor who has
youth, vigor, character and a proper stand
ing with the democracy-a man of executive
capacity, who in the Governors chair would
carry out the reforms which have given his
own administration its brilliancy and
strength. He could not expect this from
Seymour, more especially as that gentle
mans administrations never showed an
overweening desire for reform. Sey-
mour was a party Governor-fair, re-
spectacle and moderate. If Mr.. Til
den does not wish to see his work
fall to the ground, like water spilled on the
sandy beach, he will nominate candidate
who will carry out old reforms and suggest
new ones. Such a candidate pre-eminently
is Manton Marble. Mr.. Marble is well known
throughout the State in his capacity as a
journalist as the head of the leading dem
ocratic paper in the country. His repu-
tation is that of man of courage culture
and conviction. The democratic party
should rejoice to elevate to the highest place
in the State the man who has stood by the
democratic colors through SO many years of
defeat and discouragement. Let Governor
Tilden throw away any idea of expediency,
of rewarding personal friends or of making
the candidate a strengthening plaster for
himself, when he is so strong that he does
not need one, and, in naming Mr.. Marble,
give New York candidate of whom all
parties will be proud, and whose election
would crafty every citizen who has a pride
in his State.

that Mr.. Tildens letter accepting the nomi-
nation of the democratic party for the Office
of President will be printed in day or two.
This is wise decision on the part of the
Governor. He knows what to say and how
to say it. He knows as we'll as any man in
the country what is required of him as cara
didate for the Presidency. 1t is sign OF
weakness to wait for Hendricks, for Con-
gress, for any one in fact. The delay has
already injured his prospects. Let him
write his letter and take command of his
canvass and show the democratic party and
the country that he means to command tho
canvass until the close of the poll. The
country expects this from Mr.. Tilden, and we
are glad to know that its expectations are
to be so soon realized.

Giving tn. "Cops" . Funeral.


Yesterday morning an imposing funeral
procession defled up Second avenue from
the Church of the Nativity In the hearse
were borne the remains of Sergeant
McGiven, a police officer who in twenty
three years of service had obtained a charac-
ter for acuteness and courage second to
none in the force He was fatally stabbed
week ago while capturing a runaway pick
pocket. There was genuine sorrow in the
heart of every one of the three hundred
policemen who followed the remains of theil
gallant fellow servant who died in doing his
duty. look of regret was on the face
of every law-abiding citizen who saw
the sad procession pass, and words of SYM
pathy fell from every side. But behind this
sorrow there was a demoniacal chuckling,
''not loud, but deep" 1t came from the
throats of class more numerous and daring
than most of us believe-the fellows in
crime of the thief who killed McGiven. II
it was accompanied by words at all they
were such sinister ones as head this article.
Where law and order receive blow there
are always ruffians to rejoice, but in this
case few outside the police and the thieves
themselves know how an act like that
which brought death to the brave sergeant
may become the parent Of series OF
similar murders All officers may not
be as brave as McGiven. Men who
stand in the place of guardians of life and
property may not care to run the same risks
as the sergeant ran. This is why the thieves
and burglars chuckled yesterday as the sad
dered policeman, went through the city.
Intimidation by the criminal classes has
gone too far. Their audacity has not been
met with equally stern repression. We have
as brave men on the police as ever breathed,
but we have too many who keep out of the
way when danger is in the wind. Our car
conductors, who know the pickpockets we'll,
have been frightened by the daring of the
gangs on one side and the listlessness of the
police on the other into silence, when an
alarm would prevent robbery. The funeral
of yesterday should prove turning point.
It should nerve every police officer into
watchfulness and activity that will thin the
number of these scoundrels until our civil
ization shall not be affronted by the sight Of
gangs of pickpockets operating in daylight
and carrying off their booty at the point Of
the knife or the muzzle of the pistol. There
is public spirit enough to stand stifiy by the
police in such an endeavor, for it is q matter
touching our lives as we'll as our property.
The law should be sternly dealt out. The
gangs can be broken up and. their members
cowed into REIMBURSEMENT of their bloody
resorts to escape the consequences of their
crimes. When citizen or police officer is
killed let the thieves have funeral too

A Cruel Yet Fanny Hoax.
London E1aminer.l

A good story reaches us from
Milan. A young nObleman of that
city. Of marriageable age, and mas
ter of a fortune of 10000 francs a
year, not long ago came to the con-
clusion that it was time for him to
look out for a wife. His pursuits
in life not being of the most siren
uous character, he had leisure to
combine amusement with research.
Accordingly he advertised his want
in a Milanese newspaper, request
ing that every answer to the adyer-
tisement might be accompanied
with the portrait Of the lady who
replied.
A collateral result of this notice
was that two or three of the best
Photographic artists Of the city had
more work on their hands Than they
could attend to. The direct result
was sixty-five letters, with as many
fair maidenly countenances as would
furnish a good-sized album. The
answers were in some cases accom-
panied by parental certificates, set
ting forth in touching language the
charms and virtues of their
daughters. Embarrassed by a
choice of such unexampled variety,
and desirous to crafty that sense Of
humor which even the serious ma
ture of the guest could not repress,
the young man replied to each of
his correspondents that, before
coming to a final decision, a per-
sOnal-not exactly interview, but
inspection-would be of advantage.
To each of the ladies, of course
without the knowledge of the 9TH
ers, be sent a ticket for an orchestra
stall in the Scala Theater, announc-
ing that he himself would be in a
particular box, the number and
situation of which he stated. A
few evenings later the play-going
public of Milan were perplexed to
explain the appearance Of one of
the rows Of stalls in the immense
building.
A long line Of beauties, in the
toilets Of extreme elegance, un-
broken by single black coat, was
observed. Furtively, and with trep.
idation, did each damsel, from time
to time, raise heropera glass to that
box-the cynosure of many bright
eyes-in which the graceful youth
reposed. Saspiciously, and with
darkened brow, did each damsel
turn to the long file Of her neigh
bors, and wonder at the magnetism
which drew each glass to the one
central spot.
By and by the audience, to
whom some hint of the secret had
leaked out, began 70 give audible
signs that they enjoyed the Joke,
The sporadic laughter Of the thea
ter increased the confusion Of the
young ladies, and the epntagigp of
fun turned the sporadic mirth into
a general roar.
