WHITE LIEE STATES.

The Democracy of South Carolina, uu-
der the lead srship Of the oily and plausible
Chamberlain, are bending their energies in
imitation of the Gordon-Lamar programme
in Georgia and Mississippi and hope ere
the ides of December to have that State
march abreast with other White Line
communities in the interest of lawlessness
paper in the State is busily engaged in
educating the whites, and preparing them
TO seize upon the ballot boxes in the next
election. Federal sup crvisors are to be
ignored, and intimidation and riot are to be
the watchwOr Forgetting the Ku-
Klux experience of 1870, when hundreds
Of ignorant white men were decoyed into
a resistance OF Federal authority by such
leaders as Wade Hampton and the Gareys
who themselves were cautious enough to
be found lurking in the rear-and were
made to atone for their crimes by inpris-
onment in Northern penitentiaries, they
have again unfurled their banners, and to-
day present the pitiful spectacle of attempt
ing to resist the mandates of a powerful
Government, which is pledged by every
obligation Of public faith to protect the citi-
zen, however humble, in all his rights.
South Carolina Republicans should not
parley in such contest. Let them weigh
well the responsibility which rests upon
them, and be prepared. on the Sd of No
vember, TO march to the music of liberty
and the Union. Democratic newspapers
may boast of their contemplated election
riots, but let them remember that when
the proper time arrives steps will be taken
which will render them as harmless as
doves. State rights politicians in South
Carolina may as well be taught now
that brute force will no longer avail
them, and that the negro has rights
which his friends will aid him in exercis-
ing, and the fact that his race was for hun
dreds of years enslaved is no reason why
he should be cowed at the polls while de
posting his ballot. Governor Chamber
lain's objective point is unquestionably the
United States Senate. but if by any misaap
he should be elected by a bIood-stained
Legislature, there will be those who will
Investigate" him too and see to it that he
finds shelter in some othhr place than
in the honorable body to which he aspires.
Let the patty in South Carolina organize
for victory, and it will merit and receive it.

THE REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CAM
PAIGN COMMITTEE.

The Union Republican Congressional
Committee, composed of one Senator or
Representative from each State and Terri
tory having Republican representation in
either House Of Congress, met last night
and perfected an organization for the en-
suing campaign. Senator Cameron, the
veteran Pennsylvania statesman, was chosen
to be chairman-a choice which will re-
ceive the unanimous approval of the party
as one that will insure energy, sagacity and
stern devotion TO principle in the manage
ment of the campaign. Under the guidance
of his extended experience, wide acquaint-
ance and well-kRoWn executive ability, the
committee cannot fail to perform effective
work. The campaign will prove to be one
of the most important, if not the most i'm
portant, in the history of the Republican
party. 1t will attract unusual attention,
not only because it occurs during the Gen.
tennisl year of the existence of the Repub-
Lie, but because the issues involved are Of
paramount importance. The ex-Confed-
crate Democracy have combined with the
Northern Dough-face Democracy to over
turn and destroy the achievements OF the
war for which the blood and treasure of
the nation have been so freely spent.
At the same time the attention of
a large number of loyal voters, who
are naturally anti-Democratic in their
feelings and impulses, has been detracted
Gom this fact, and other issues, some of
them false or perverted, have been placed
before them in such way as TO overshadow
Che vital questions of governmental policy
Hhich are really at stake. In the prepara-

cEsTENNIAL TRANSPORTATION.

There appears to be some anxiety, at
home and abroad, as to the completeness
and perfection of the arrangements OF the
Centennial Bureau of Transportation for
the delivery of goods in Philadelphia. 1t
is not probable that the direct shipments to
that port will be larger than TO the ports
of New York, Boston, Baltimore and San
Francisco. and it would seem to be wise
thing to have American agencies, acting as
branches of the Bureau of Transportation,
established at those ports, and that gentle
men should be selected to act as agents who
have thorough knowledge of the business
of steamships and railroads, and capable of
giving quick and precise information. 1t
is feared that the commissions of the differ
ent foreign governments will not be able to
properly attend to this important duty, and
besides this, there is a large class Of persons
who will desire space in the Exhibition,
though for some reason not recognized by
their commissions, and this class will need
the services Of such agencies. There will
be O great many, too, who will want to ship
their goods in their own way, and inde
pendently of the regulations of their COM
missions. Those who have heavy freight
to send-like machinery. for instance-will
want to avail themselves Of the cheapest
method, and they have right to, and after
their goods have reached New Yorkor Bos
ton, Baltimore or San Francisco, they still
have right to make the best terms possible
for their delivery in Philadelphia. There
should not, and we presume there will not,
be a close corporation at Philadelphia in
control of this business, and that the largest
liberty, consistent with order and necessary
discipline, will be given to all for a quick,
safe and economical delivery Of their

CENTRAL PACIFIC MoEoPoLY-MIsRE P
REsEErATION CORRECTED.

Tie statement that Col. Scott, when be-
fore the House Pacific Railroad Committee,
on Wednesday last proposed that the
Southern Pacific of California, alias the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, should
construct and operate that portion Of the
Southern trans continental line lying be-
tween the Pacific ocean and the Texas
line, we learn from members of the COM
mittee and others present, is wholly un-
true. In fact, it is almost too absurd for
contradiction, since, on the part OF Colonel
Scott, it would be yielding, in effect, the
entire ground in dispute, and would justly
ALLEVIATE the friends of an independent
Southern trans continental railway, who
look hopefully to its early completion as
the only escape from the unchecked exac-
tions Of the Central Pacific monopoly.
Without looking to higher motive, Col.
Scott is too sagacious not to clearly under
stand that thestrength of the present Texas
and Pacific measure lies in what it prom
ises to effect for the entire country, North,
South, East and West, in freeing it from
monopoly which, through the favoritism
of past Congress, has become too power
ful for control, even by the Supreme Court
of the United States. Recognizing these
facts to the fullest extent we learn that he
has steadily resisted this very proposition,
made by NIr. Huntington year ago, and
frequently renewed since.
The proposition made by Colonel Scott,
we learn, was no more nor less than this
The right of way through the San Gorgonio
Pass. California, one hundred and forty
miles west of the Colorado-being. in dis
pute between the Southern Pacific Railway
Company, chartered by the Legislature of
California, and the Texas and Pacific, char
teredby Congress. ColonelScott proposedt to
yield the right Of his company, provided
the other party would bind itself to pro-
rate freight and fares with the Texas Pa
ciic, on equitable terms, and be governed
by such regulations as msy be imposed on
the latter by Congress, to make it an open
highway to Government and people. This,
OF course, would leave the Texas and Pa
cifc Company full liberty TO construct
line of its own on a more direct route to
San Diego, should a practicable route be
found, whenever the connection with the
other company for any reason should be.
come undesirable.
The truth Of this whole controversy is
in nutshell. The Central Pacific is de-
termined to have no rival for the trans
continental traffic, and the offer of the

ton of documents, in their distribution,
and in all the ramified duties attendant upon
the supervision of campaign such as this
one promises to be, it will be admitted that
Senator Cameron is peculiarly fitted for
the position to which he has been elected.
The reelection of Judge J. NJ. Edmunds
to be Secretary was deserved tribute to a
faithful officer, whose long service in that
office has been illustrated by most COM
mendable fidelity. A veteran of almost
numberless political battles, he has pre-
served spotless reputation, and it is fortu-
nate that bis wise counsel and enlightened
advice has been secured to the party for
another campaign.
The Executive Committee chosen is CON-
prised of acknowledged party leaders, whose
names are political household words, and,
all in all. the action of the committee will
prove to be satisfactory to every true Re-
publican in the country.

THE policy that we have long advocated,
and which was recommended by Secretary
Bristow in his last annual report, to author

receiving attention from the Committee on
WAYS and Means. The Secretary is press
ing the subject home to the minds of the
committee by practical illustrations of the
effect of long time as compared with short
time bonds. If Congress will give him
the authority he solicits, he will not be
obliged to go abroad with his loan. The
