the papers of the morning of the 9Th Of
thing was anticipated, as no orders or sug-
gestions were given to any military officer
in that State prior to the occurrence"
Now mark the language in which Presi-
dent Grant proceeded to deny and
disclaim all right Of interference He
with q precision and force which
would have left Mr.. Evarts himself
no ground of objection. II am well aware" !"
said President Grant in his special Message
of January 13, 1875, 'that any military in
reference by the officers or troops Of the
United States with the organization of a
State Legislature or any of its proceedings, or
with any civil department Of the govern
ment is repugnant to our ideas of govern
ment l can conceive of no case, not involv-
ing rebellion or insurrection, where. such
interference by authority of the general
can be justified" President Grant, on that
occasion, shielded himself from censure
by protesting that the interference with
the Louisiana Legislature was without
his direction sanction or knowledge, and
to clear himself more fully he made
trine which we have just quoted from his
Louisiana Message. But can he pretend
ignorance now? Can he expect anybody to
believe that what was done Mt Colum-
bia yesterday was done without his
sanction? Unless he can plead ignorance
and disclaim responsibility now, as he did
in the Louisiana case, he stands condemned
out of his own mouth. But who will accept
such plea with respect to the transactions
at Columbia yesterday?
Judged by his own declarations the mill
tary interference yesterday was utterly with
out warrant or justification. For him to re-
peat his former plea of ignorance in this
case would be ridiculous. If he ordered
this plain violation of law, or if, with so
many reasons for supposing it would
take place, he did not prevent it, he
must shoulder the whole responsibility.
Judged by his own declarations to
Congress it is monstrous violation Of
law and OF the spirit Of our institutions
With that message on record we do not see
how he can escape on a plea of ignorance
If the law is such rs he described it he
has clearly made himself liable to impeach-
ment by this new interference with
State Legislature. Unfortunately for him
the impeaching power is now in the hands
of his enemies, and there is no reason why
they should not exercise it. We pre-
sumo the first business of the House
of Representatives. when it assemblies next
week, will be to vote .his impeach-
ment and appoint a committee to
draw up the articles. 1t will easily
be made to appear that President
Grant has not only violated the constitution
but sinned against knowledge. The passage
we have quoted from his Message leaves him
without excuse.

Good Sense in South C.relins.


There is at least one fact in the news from
South Carolina that will be contemplated
with satisfaction by the whole country.
This is the attitude of the people at Colum.
bin. They exhibit forbearance in circum.
stances that inevitably excite deep passions
and respect for the majesty of the Law
worthy the highest praise, and which indi-
Gates also the disciplined spirit that per-
ceives how easily in this critical hour o
trivial explosion of wrath might imperil the
just assertion of the most important princi-
pies. Before any one loosely declares that
the people of South Carolina submit
because in the presence of the
troops they cannot help themselves
it will be well for him to reflect upon the
particulars of the situation. There are three
hundred soldiers of the United States Army
in Columbia. This is not great force, and,
even if we concede that the troops are
supremely excellent, it is plain that num-
bers so small could be readily overwhelmed;
for there are in the same city five thousand
men, members of the now notorious rife
clubs. 1t has been reported by Governor
Chamberlain and his friends that these rife
clubs are regularly trained military organ
izations, made up in great part of the veteran
soldiers of the Confederate army. If this be
true it is evident that force of that ma
ture in such numbers, or even in far less
numbers, could be supreme in Columbia al
any moment 1t is true that if they assailed
the force their triumph would be but tempo
rary; but men in such a position and under
the influence of great excitement seldom COM
monty reason we'll, and we are glad to note
that the people of South Carolina are an ex.
ccption to the rule. They protest against
the use of the United States troops simply
as it is an appeal to force in the settlement
of disputed issues but they recognize that
that force represents the law, and they bow
to the law.

The STATESMEN about the City Hall are
busy speculating in regard to Mayor Wick
hams nomination for Comptroller, and some
very wild and absurd theories are advanced
in which the name of John Kelly appears
with unnecessary prominence. We presume,
however that the Aldermen will confirm Mr..
Thayers nomination, that Mr. Thayer will
accept, and that that will be the end OF it.

IT SEEMS HARDER to establish the identity

IT SEEMS HARDER to establish the identity
of the man charged with forgery under the
name of Ralston than to prove the forgeries
themselves. One intimation thrown out in
this caseis worthy of careful consideration
namely, that the accused is only sneak
thief named Sheridan, who was arrested for
the purpose of securing the reward. The
criminal classes have no friends, and when
there is resemblance it might be easy to
hold and even convict one in place of the
other. The case will be given to the jury,
and some interest will be felt in the verdict
owing to the popularity of the defence.

THANKSGIVING DINNERS have become the
essential feature of Thanksgiving Day, and
our news columns this morning show that
the public and private benevolent institu-
tions of this city will afford them to
their inmates tomorrow. But while
we are feasting, as is our wont on
this annual season of thankfulness, it would
be we'll to begin to remember that there are
many others who have less reason to be
thankful. The winter will be an unusually
severe one and Thanksgiving Day is an ex-
osllsnt season to begin the work of practical
bsnsvolencs.

THERE Is MYSTERY about the Mocte-
yuma, but it is not unlikely that the theory
that she was to carry arms to the Cuban in
surgents and then to be sunk is the true
one. She could scarcely have been at sea
since her capture by the Cubans without
something being heard OF her whereabouts.
and it is probable that the first news we
shall have Of her will be from Cuba.

-. CRIME Follows UPoN CRIME, and our col
umns this morning bear ample testimony to
the frequency of homicide in this neighbor-
hood. We have fuller details of the Hun
ter's Point tragedy, together with On ac-
count of the commutation of the sentence
Of Schwamb in New Jersey 20 imprisonment
for life, and the story of mistaken identity
upon which Ryan and Oschwald expect to
receive a new trial And these are only
part of the record of crime for single day.

The ELEVATED RAILROAD in Greenwich
street and Ninth avenue has grown from
small beginning to a most important under
taking. After this week two hundred and
val between trains will be only eight
minutes This is n great public accommo-
dation, as is evidenced by these increased
facilities, and what is most remarkable is
that there has never been serious accident
on the line.

CHARLES READE's Description Of the flood
which swept everything before it, as in the
case of the Mill River disaster, would scarcely
suffice in its intensity for the thrilling and
terrific accident reported in our columns
this morning Of runaway coal train DASH
ing down an inclined plane in the noun
tains of the Pennsylvania coal regions The
scene is one which may be imagined, but it
is easier to describe the velocity and de-
structiveness Of a cannon ball than such u
spectacle. No words could picture it, and it
must be left to the imaaination.
