FROM THE POLITICAL WORLD
New York Press of this Morning ON
the Presidents Proclamation.

NEW YORK, October 18.-Editorially
the World and Sun commenting upon
the Presidents proclamation relative to
the South Carolina insurrection, de-
nounce its issuance. The Sun says
there is no evidence before the country
to sustain the pretext upon which the
proclamation Is issued.
The World stigmatizes it rs an incen-
diary proclamation, an attaS1& upon the
credit OF the nation, and ali open an
nouncement to the world of the failure
OF our institutions.
The Tribune and Times indorse the
Presidents action. The Tribune hopes,
Doth Tor the good name OF the State and
Tor the sake OF peace everywhere, that
the troops sent to South Carolina will
md nothing to do. The hope of the
whole country is for a peaceful election,
and 1T depends upon the Democrats
whether it shall be had.
The Times considers thai the procla-
nation has not been issued too soon,
and that any half measure would aggra-
yate the evil that should be corrected. /.
The force to be sent must be equal to the
emergency, and it must be sent with suf-
ticient pr0mptitude to prove the Federal
power. 1t tavors the Executive OF the
state In his unequal contest with law
less men.
The Herald reviews the situation in
south Carolina, and referring TO The re-
cent riot near Cainhoy, which was
caused by the colored militia, says the
entire responsibility rests with the col
ored Republicans and their leaders.
Violence has no place in the Democratic
plan for conducting the canvass. The
Herald intimates that the Democrats
propose to carry the State by trickery
III Keeping voters from the polls by Civ
ing the voters days work-a device, it
says, not very creditabIe to those who
employ these ignorant voters, but it af-
fords 10 gr0uni for Federal interfer-
ence, and nobOdr North or South will
care how far these practices are carried
II peace is preserved and the privileges
OF ali who have the will to exercise them
are protected.
What Gen. Harrison Says of His
Defeat In Indiana.
CHICAGO, October 18.-Gen. Benz. Har-
rison, the defeated Republican nominee
for Governor of Indiana, arrived here
last night. In a conversation as to the
cause OF his defeat he said Il think that
Wolcotts withdrawal had most To 40
with 1t. The fact that he withdrew in
my favor at the eleventh hour gave rise
to suspicion in the minds of many that
there was moneyed inducement, and
the time was too short TO convince them
to the contrary. l had no knowledge of
his intention to withdraw until alter he
had done so. Still his greenback friends,
many of them, at least, thought other
wise and voted for my opponent.
The General says that Hayes chances
for carrying Indiana are constantly
growing better. Many Democrats who
voted for Williams will in November
cast their votes Tor Hayes, as also will
many members of the Greenback party.
In regard to the alleged frauds said
to have been perpetrated at the polls in
indianapolis by both parties, General
Harrison thinks that, on the contrary,
it was an honest election, and one that
was fairly conducted. In some in
stances several counties in the State
show suspiciously large majority tor
the Democrats, but it may have been all
right. The Democrats had shipped from
the East a crowd Of roughs lOr voting
purposes, but when they found out that
arrangements had been made TO give
them warm reception, they wisely lit
out. General Harrison's visit is on pri.
vate business.
