South Carolina Legislature in violation
of the Constitution. 1t reyiYes the
question of { R ;arism, and inSInuate s
that he is using the military to keep
himself in power. " says Caleb Cush-
ing has expressed the opinion that a
crisis may arise which will make it the
duty Of General Grant to hold over till
there can be another Presid nial elec-
tion. He suggested possibility calcu.

bilious hopes which seemed to have
been eXtinguisAed when affairs took
such a turn last winter as pre-.
cludCd a renomination OF President
Grant by the Republican National Coz

motive tor getting things into such "a
muddle as to require his interventi II II

editorialiy commenting on the duty oil
the Federal power in the present crisis
in South Carolina, contends that the
presence Of the troops was and is still
necessary to prevent anarchy. 1t holds
that it is The duty OF the Federal Gov
erNmeGt to intere to enable the State
G vernment to uphol its authority, and
aud hat Wade Hampton can lie regarded
only as the leader OF an iHsurrectiOu
against the Stale authority. What the
President undertook to do he must no.
be afraid to finish. His interference is
in the service not of party but OF order.
and t can operate adversely to the Dem-
ocratic interests only because tDey are
in this instance identified with lawless
and revolutionary policy.
