Order for Troops, ,

The following order was issued this

at the Cabinet meeting for the protection
of the public peace in South Carolina;
WAR DEPARTMENT, /
WAsHINGToS, d. C., Oct. II. !
General W. T. Sherman, Commanding U

SIR:-In view of the existing condi'
ton OF affairs in South Carolina, there is
possibility that the proclamation OF the
President OF this date may be disregard.
ed. To provide against such u contin-
gency, you will Immediately or
der all the available force in
the military division of the Atlantic to
report to General Ruger, commanding at
Columbia, 5. g., and instruct that officer
to station his troops in such localities
that they may be most speedily and
etfectually used in case OF resistance to
the authority OF the United States. 1t Is
hoped that a collision may thus
be avoided, but you will instruct
General Ruger to let it be known
it is the fixed purpose OF the govern
ment to carry out the spirit of the proc
lsmation, and to sustain it by the mill
tary force of the General Government,
supplemented, if necessary, by the mill
tia of the various states.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser

By special in another column infor-
nation is received that the representa-
tive Democrats of Ohio will meet in
Columbus to-day to take counsel on the
situation. Governor ALIENS reply to q
telegram to be present reads thus; ii
earnestly advise every Democrat in the
estate to vote for TILDEN, to work 1or
"him up to the last moment of the con-
"test. In the existing state OF things,
"the triumph of the Republican party
"would turn over this great country to
bankruptcy and anarchy-to the rule
" of the sword welded by fools for the
"beneft of knaves."

IT was generallysupposed that the re-
cent marked rebuke which Grantism re-
ceived at the polls would have a salutsry
effect on the administration and that no
further effort would be made to thwart
the will of the people by force OF arms.
The failure to respond immediately
to Governor CHAMBERLAIN's application
for troops lent plauslbility to these con-
lectures. Butt those who were credulous
nough to hope that there was trace OF
craftsmanship, or regard for the rights
of the states, remaining with our rulers
at Washington, can dismiss their hopes.
Governor CHAMBERLAIN's application
for troops to control the South Carolina
election in the interest of HAYES, has
been favorsbly responded to. Another
nail in the Radical coffin.

Democratic. Republican.
Total .....-.....,

Thus it will be seenIthst the four TIL
DEN members elected have majorities
averaging about 5,l25, and aggregating
about 2O,5OO; while the nine Hayesites
have msjorlties averaging about LIZA,
and sggregstiug about ll,O2l. The
Democratic msjorlties exceed the Repuo-
llcsn majorities by nearly $500, so that
the popular vote on Congressman Is
nearly $500 better for the reformers
than the popular vote on the State
ticket. The figures therefore indicate
not only Il very plain case of gerrymsn
dering, but also that the State is far more
decidedly tor TILDEN than would be sup
posed from the vote tor Governor. There
is precious little comfort after all for the
HAYES party in the Congressional elec
tions of Indiana.

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING

We reproduce an article this morning
from the New York Herald, which Will
repay perussl by all thinking and fair
minded men. The article is the more
significant and important because 1t
comes from q paper that has been op-
posing T1LpEN and throwing IN the scale
all its great power and influence for
HAYES election. The Herald is usually
among the first journals of the country to
detect the drift of public sentiment, and
as quickly does 1t declare to Its million
readers its observations and impressions.
Here is described one of the most inta-
nous and high-handed outraSes that has
been attempted by the Radical party,
to perpetuate its lease of power since the
war. These are the methods adopted by
the Republicans to retrieve the losses IN
Indiana and Ohio. Packed Boards OF
State Canvassers, packed Returning
Boards. packed Commissioners OF Elec-
tion, the army, and the sweeping arrest
by countless United States Marshsls OF
citizens suspected of an intent to vote
the Democratic ticket-these are the in
struments of free Government of the
people in the hands of the Republican
psrtyl This is revolution.

1MponrAScE OF ORGANIZATION.

The Intelltgencer has discovered, when
too late, that torchlight professions and
psrsdss are of small importance in car
rying elections when compared with
careful, thorough organization. When
the Radicals insugurated the campaign
in this city with cap and cape, fuss and
feathers, aummery and fury, the
REGISTER advised the Demo.
Gratis that: our success could best be pro-
NOTED by close, methodical, patient or
ganizstion, and by calm appeals to the
reason and interest of the voter. Times
are, hard, and the cause is at Washing
ION. 1t is to the interest of every honest
voter who is himself not aspiring to
Office, to remove the cause and restore
prosperity to himself and to his neighbors'
This is the interest and the duty alike
of non.ofice-holding Republicans and
Democrats. This is q matter that ap-
peals to the voters reason, and not TO
his prejudices or passions. The Radl-
cal leaders understood this fact quite
we'll, and hence their frantic efforts to
obscure the better sense and blind the
reason of the voter, and excites his pref
udices, his old war passions, and his
hatreds. They understood we'll enough
that if the masses OF Re
publican voters were left to the
guidance of their own good sense
and sober reflection, they would desert
the cause of Grantism by the tens OF
thousands and throw their votes and in
fuence as thousands of the more intelli-
gent are doing, in favor of change In
that government policy which is grint
ing us down. Hence, the appeals OF these
leaders to the baser passions; hence, the
use of caps and capes, and torches
and martial drill, to distract the atten-
tlOn OF the VOLer lIOln tue Ieai siIuat'ohi
hence the appeal of FITZPATRICK for a
bloody shirt campaign with money, and
his declaration that canvass fought
upon the financial issues would be their
ruin. All this was well under
stood by the Radicals from
BLAINE of Maine, to MORTON and LOGAN
of the West. 1t was upon this line that
the Radicals chose to fight, and upon this
line thew lost. 1t is too late for them to
change front with any hope OF regslnlng
their prestige. The backbone OF Radl-
csllsm is broken, and it must take years
to knit the fracture.

WESTON, October 10, 1876.
Editors of the Register.
William f. Arnold, the delegate elect
from this county, has covered himself
ali over with glory and honor. His
great relation, the immortal Stonewsll
jackson, never displayed more gallantry
and tact than did w. +. Arnold in our
late contest. Lewis cast 1888 votes, and
of that number Chedister, Democrat, got
439 votes, and he beat Dunnington the
pet of the Republicans, who ran upon
COTS ticket, 8 votes. His worth, merit
and talents won the affections of the
people. They clung to him when "night
and the tempest were closing around
him" He will be leader IN our next
legislature. He is man of courage,
brains, character, integrity, skill IN legis-
lation, and an old time Democrat. Lewis,
one of the first counties of the state, is
proud OF her representative.
