AN lLLUsTRATToN. is announced
that the Democrats, ifsuccessful, will
sacrifice the rights of the freedmen.
The facts of history are in contradict
ton to this theory. Mr.. Tarbox,
Congressional Representative OF
Massachusetts, truly declared in a
late speech that in every Democratic
State, except in the narrow limits of
Republican misrule, the rights of the
black men are as we'll protected and
their interests as safe as in Massa-
chusetts, and he points his hearers
to the action Of the trustees Of the
Peabody trust fund if they doubt it..
They have recently decided it to be
useless to devote any of that trust
fund to South Carolina and Louisiana
because there is no decent govern
ment there. "

now tries to plunge the State into
disorder to secure his recollection as
Republican. Respectab bic coIored
men can have no interest in making
themselves the tail to Mr.. Cham ber-

the desire to give them.-New York

IMAGINARY OUTRAGE.-G Gov. Cham
berlain diligently grinds the South
Carolina outrage mill and has just
reported that 800 "men in buckram"
recently broke open building where
arms were kept and carried them
away. 1t was 50 dark that nobody
saw them, but the Governor is sure
they were white men and rebels. A
story of this kind needs confirmation.
The absence of any details is enough
to make it suspected.-New York

u Ajoiut discussion bad been agreed
on between Mr. O'Copnor on part
ofthe Demoerats,i and Mr.. Bowen of
the RephbIfcans, at Cainhoy,, about
twenty miles from, Charleston. 1t
had been agreed early ia the convass,
that no guhe should be taken to the
meeting. On Board the steamer, the
young men had amused themselves
firing their pistols at objects in the
water; and when they reached the
place of meeting, their pistols were
empty. ......
1t seems the negroes had loaded
muskets hid out in the bushes, and
when quarrel, followed by some
blows, occurred on the outskirts Of
the crowd, a musket was fired by a
colored man at the whites. At this
moment the negroes edged down to-
wards the edge of the swamp, and a
few seconds later, volley was fred
at the whites from the swamp.
Immediately other negroes rushed
to the bushes where their muskeGs
were hid and fred at the whites. 1t
is noted that not q Democrat had a
rifle, muaket or shot gun on the
ground.
In the confusion that followed the
Democrats got possession of some OF
the guns secreted as reported by the
negroes, but not more than ono third
Of the whites had even pistols, while
the negroes were firing from the ra-
vine some fifty yards off.
Tie casualties were confined al
most exclusively to the Democrats.

These were all Democrats. 1t is not
known if any Republicans were hit
except one killed by q shot aimed al
Mr.. Sanders. The whites returned
as fast as they could to the boats. 1t
seems to have been preconcerted
thing on the part,of thenegroes of the
colored militia.

Gen. w. L. Sherman, Commanding
United States Army:
Sir-In view of the existing con-

there is h possibility that the procla-
nation of the President, of this date,
may be disregarded. To provide
against such contingency, you will
immediaIel y order all tie available
force in the military division of the
Atlantic to report to General Ruger,
commanding at Columbia, S. O., and
instruct that officer to station his
troops in such localities that they may
most speedily and effectually be used
in case Of resistance to the authority
Of the United States. 1t is hoped
hat collision may thus be avoided,
but you will instruct General Ruger
to let it be known that it is the fixed
purpose OF the government to carry

force of the general government, sup

Ir CAN NOT BE TRUE.

We would direct the attention of our
readers to the following, which was
received yesterday among our tele-
graphic dispatches:
CHICAGO, Oct. %.
a Tines Washington special SAYS
that Senator West has arrived from
Louisiana in company with Secretary
Merrill and Secretary Chandler. They
had All interview with Don Cameron.
The subject ofthe conference was the Sc.
curing of an order for a large transfer of
troops to Louisiana, as has been done
in South Coroiina. West thinks tn e
State can be carried for Hayes if sew
eral thousand soldiers can he sent to
that State to work with the Deputy
Marshal in controlling the election.
ON Vests representation Chandler
advised that a similar order he issued
as had been sent to South Carolina.
An early report of outraees i'll Louis
lana is expected, so as to form a basis
for a proclamation and transfer of
troops. 1t is expected that the addi-
tional troops needed will be taken
from Phil. Sheridan's department. a
similar Formally will be observed in
Mississippi as seen as this Louisiana
matter is disposed OF. The Admins
tration hopes by this use of soldiers 10
carry enough Southern Safes to make
good the possible losses in the North.
The above reads like a canard, and
for the honor of the American people
and credit of humanity, we hope such
it will prove to be. We are rot pre-
pared to believe that the Federal au-
thorities would, at This critical perioi
of our Indian difficulties, further les
sen the already inadequate force ar
rayed against the hostile savages of
the North, TO direct their bayonets
against the unoffending people of a
sovereign State for the mere sub>eryi
ence OF political ends. II it is false, no
comments are necessary; If it is true,
the infamy is too great to be expressed
by any words that we could write.

TIE CarNBOY AFFAIR.

We published yesterday the full par
t~irnlarS OIL the rios at Cainhoy. South
Carolina. which happened a ieyv days
since. Several whites were killed and
wounded in mat affair by negroes.
We are ga OF it. We are glad it the
South Carolina negroes have at last de-
termined 70 protect themselves and TO
fighr for their lives. We are glad that
six armed Soath Carolina hullies have
been killed and more wounded. The
more the better, until those scoundrels
are educated in the on V school which
can teach them to respect the rights of
others.
The above is from the Enterprise of
last Sunday. "Six armed South Caro-
lima bullies!" The circumstances of
the Cainbov affair are as 70 lows: A
joint political discussion was held al
Cainboy and it was agreed by both
parties tina. those who attended the
meeting should 60 there unarmed.
The COMPACT was kept in good faith by
everybody except a detachment of
ChamberIain's colored militia, who con
cealed their arms in the bushes near
by, and upon what was doubtless a
preconcerted signal, seized their wea-
pons and under cover of the foliage
fired upon the whites. killing and
woundiny several of them. The dis
patches received by the Western Union
telegraph distinctly stated that the
whites we're nnarmed. We know it
was not so reported in the Enterprise,
although that journal and the SESTI-
MEL receive their dispatches through
the same source namely the telegraph
company ab3ve mentioned, which we
have never heard accused, nor the As
ISOLATED Press, of coloring their reports
with other than the %in;ensest shade of
Republican black. We published our
report as it came to us from the hands
of the operator, and the hocus pocus
by which it became distorted into the
shape in which it appeared in the col
ums of the Enterprise is a part of the
same mystery which transmogritied a
decen;ly worded report from this place
relative to the meeting addressed by
Colonel Ellis into an ill-natured, not to
say scurrilous invection against that
gentleman. We sometimes consign to
the waste basket distasteful political
matter sen to US in dispatches, but we
never garble or change them to accord
with our sentiments and then make
them the groundwork for a CORE
spending editorial upon the subject.
which our Virginia City contemporary
appears TO have done in this instance.
However we are willing to admit that
the killing of whites, armed or I'M
armed, and, under any circumstances,
by colored men in South Carolina,
would harmonic perfectly with the
| political sentiments of the editor of the
Enterprise and that he spoke from his
heart when he said he was "glad of it"

THE New York Herald hits the nail
on the head when it says: ''The Presi-
dent is reported to have said in a con-
versation about South Carolina affairs
on Saturday that 'he vas determined
that the colored Republicans in that
State should vote in accordance with
their honest convictions, if he had to
order the whole army into the State to
enable them to do so.' If he had ut.
tered this threat with an accurate COM
prehension of South Carolina politics,
Mr.. Chamberlain, who has called on
him for troops. would be a very badly
scared man. What Mr.. Cham berlain
wants is not that the negroes shall
vote according to their convictions, but
that they shall cast a solid vote for
Chamberlain, conviction or no convic-
ton"

INDIANA

All the figuring for prognosticating
purposes upon the late Indiana cleo
ton results favorably for the Demo-
cratic presidential ticket. When the
news was first received u Republican
friends found considerable comfort in
the fact that they had elected nine
Congressman to the Democrats four,
which they argued was a fairer indica-
lion of the sentiment Of the people
upon national affairs than the vote on
State officers, a point exceedingly well
taken; but when the full returns were
received showing the aggregate ma
jority of the four Democratic members
exceeded that of the nine Republicans
by nearly 10000, they quietly aban-
doned that line of argument and
sought what consolation they could in
the forlorn hope Of a political change
on the seventh of next month. There
is another fact to which we would di-
rect their attention, which we fear will,
when considered, e%xtingulsh the last
gleam of hope which they had OF
overcoming the majority of the late
election. II will be remembered that
Harrington, the Independent candi-
date for Governor, received ID 1874
votes in the State. Harrington was a
Democrat, and of course drew the
greater portion of his strength from
the ranks of that party. At least
three fourths of the vote he received
will naturally fall to Tilden & Hen
bricks at the presidential election,
which insures the State for their cleo
toral ticket by at least double the ma
jority by which Blue Jeans was elect
ed; for ''the which" let us return
thanks.
