THE CHARLESTON HORROR.

THE CHARLESTON HORROR.
The Charleston news overshadows
all other topics here. The fact that
the first act Of intimidation" worthy
ofnote was not intimidation of Repub-
lieans by Democrats, but of Democrats
by Republicans, is remarkable.
The occurrence of the riot just after
Chamberlain had notified his adherents
that he had shipped them twenty thou
sand muskets, and that he was done
with reform" marks it as a deliberate
attempt to forward partisan ends by
melting civil war Republicans regard
the affair as mistake, because the
wrong people were intimidated. The
Democrats denounee it as desperate
attempt of the Radicals to check the
general stampede of the negroes away
from the control of the black leagues
and scalawags to the Democratic party
which protects their rights, and Sc
cures to them a chance for prosperity
and Advancement. The Charleston
outrage willuudoubtedly add 10000 to
the Democratic vote in New York, and
have proportionate effect in other
States.
UNITED STATES TROOPS SOUTH.
The most noticeable fact in this hor-
rible affair is that the troops sent to
Charleston to help the Radicals gave
protection to the hunted colored Dem
ocrats. In this case the Republicans
were hoist by their own petard." The
general opinion here is that the whole
Southern military programme of the
Administration will only result in in
creasing the Tilden vote, because the
numbers of colored Democrats will
rely on the troops for protection in the
hour of need.

New York,

We give a few figures, from 1870
to 1875, Of the vote in New York,
to show how the battles in that
State are decided. The country is
Republican and the city Democratic,
and 1t is in fact a vote of one against
the other.
, In 1870 the country gave q Re-
publican majority of Is, 18I, and the
city Democratic majority Of So PIT.
Democratic majority, 1906. The
total vote was 769, 1884.
Ia 1871 the Republican majority
in the country was 1926; in the
city the Democrats had &c. 189. Re-
publican majority 17,O87. Total
vote 755, A3I.
In 1872 the Republicans had in the
country districts 77.076 majority !;
the Democrats carried the city by
2l,625. Republican majority 81, 45I.
The total vote was $40, Isl.
In 1873 the Republicans got the
country by a majority of IA, I19, and
the Democrats the city by 1882 !:
and the State by 1888. The total
vote was this year only 676,006.
In 1874 Tilden was elected Gov
ernor and the Prohibitionists ran q
ticket. The Democrats carried both
country and city-the former by
1873, the latter by 42,52S--the State
by5O,3l7. The total vote was 1884,
$50. The Prohibition vote was II, :
738.
In 1875 the Republicans had the
country by 1850; the Democrats
the city by 29,66O-giving them the
State by 14,8I0-on a total vote OF
777,663. This year the Prohibition
vote was II, JOB.
Here were 62,44S voters away
from the polls, which when they
did vote gave the Republicans the
State by 55b451. There is no Pro.
hibition vote this year. Now take
the Il, St0 Democratic vote last year,
take it from the absent vote, and
then add the Prohibition vote to
that and we have So, 3O6 Republican
majority. It has an ugly look for
