THE SOUTH CAROLINA SPECTACLE.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-To-day, act
ing under the direct authority OF the Prcsi-
dent, the army Of the United States has for
the second time been used to assist in the
illegal organization OF a body claiming to be
a State Legislature, and to exclude from the
halls OF state capitol the regularly-clected
members OF that Legislature. There are in
deed few Of those affiliated with the Admin.
istration here, and to their credit be it said,
who give approval to the occurrences at
Columbia to-day. II the people of the
North, il the intelligence and wealth OF that
section, are not aroused to some decisive
action by this last browning act, the future
looks indeed dark and hopeless
THE CABINET SESSION.
Mr.. Archibald Stirling, Jr., United States
District Attorney for Maryland, reached
here this morning from Columbia, and i'm
medlately proceeded to the Department Of
Justice. where he had an interview with the
Attorney General. He laid before Mr.. Taft
an account Of his proceedings, and also the
view Of the situation taken by Judge Bond
and the action Of that frnctionary. After
wards, at the Cabinet meeting, Judge Taft
presented TO the President and the other
members the report made to him by Mr..
Stirling. The business OF the Cabinet to-
day was confined almost entirely to the dis
cusSion OF the political situation and the
exciting occurrences at Columbia and else
where. .....4. ..-s1r. .'.~.-

ticinates no difficulty whatever concerning

lican electors from that State. lie says that

cX-p0Stmastcr, and even il the Governor
docs he says that the highest clcctor on the
Democratic ticket has intimated that he will
moi avail himself OF the technical disability
Of Watts.
GOVERNOR HAYES.
There is more in the story OF Governor
llaycs's contemplated withdrawal from the
dlSgraccful contest now kept up to foist
him into the presidency than may be
Imagined. 1t is known That Governor
Hayes has for some time had considerable
mis@iringS as to the propricty Of even Il
tacit acquicscncc on his part in the qucs-
tionable methods by which it is hoped to
give hin a nominal majority of the electoral
votes. But & tremendous pressure has been
brought to bear on him to stick, and the
argument has been used with him that he
has nothing to do with the matter as it
stands at present, and that whatever he may
conclude TO do when the proper time ar-
riyc> it will not become to act until after
the electors meet and cast their votes.
