South Carolina.

What has been done in South Car
oliaa has brought the nation TO dead
stop. There is no turmoil, no confn-
sion, little excitement even. The
American people is absorbed in grave,
anxious thought. a new and alarm-
ing phase ola military administration
has developed itself in the midst Of
most critical tine. What are the
facts? Simply that United States
soldiers, acting under the orders Of
President Grant, and representative
"f Gov. Chamberlain, excluded from
the State House at Columbia persons
claiming to be members of the Leg
islature, who bore certificates Of el"c-
tion from the highest court in the
State. This is an absOlutely,imparlial
statement of the facts. No Rcpub!i-
can, no Democrat can dispute it.
Argument is wasted upon such
deed 4; quibbling with it is Infamous
These troops had no more right to
prevent the entrance Of these mem
bers than they had 10 remove mem-
bers from their seats, no more right
than they had to enter vour house
and drag you away no more than
they have in time Of peace to drive
YOU to prison at the point of the bay
onet, when YOU have committed no
oflense. They had nothing to do with
the legality of these certificates that
is for any parliamentary body TO settle
for itself. Of such a crime the details
are rot necessary. The bare fact
stated here is alone aw-defying vio-
lation Of the first principles of consti-
tutional government. 1t is just such
another outrage as that committed in
Louisiana because there is no practi-
cal difference between taking persons
claiming to be members-elect out of q
State Honse or keeping them out. 1t
was the samCC"Inlawful interference
exercised, in oneGase inside, iu the
other outside the State House.
We have said the people are think
ing. They are and thinking hard.
They are thinking whether a party
which resorts to bayonets feels sure
that it has won at the polls They
are thinking whether an Administra-
I tion which persumes to thrust lis bay
onets into q State Legislature may
not march its troops into the House
of Representatives. They are think
ing what shall be the best punishment
for a party that violates the constitu.
tion IN the name of good government,
and stuffs the ballot-box in the name
of liberty Because there are No out.
breaks it does not follow that there
is no Indignation. 1t is mouldering
iiercely, and when it strikes, it will be
by peaceful legal, methods, but its
stroke will leave the Republican party
a blackened wreck, warning for all
future time.
The South Carolina outrage is de-
rounced by men of all political parties
and opinions. Joseph Ii. Choate
VIM. NJ. Evarts' partner, and the
! President of the Union Club, denounc'
es it. The New York Evening Posi-
denounces it. The New York Herald
denounces it. The New York World
demands President Grants impeach'
ment, and the New York Herald pre-
dicls it This is question that arises
above the Presidency, though it closely J
concerns it. 1t is question of the
very life of tie nation, and the men
who have committed this outrage will
shortly find themselves on trial for al
attempt at political murder.

More Investigations.

The House has named three COM
mittees to come South and investigate
the election in the three disputed
States, and the Senate has displayed
an intention to investigate the five
Southern States. We have no doubt
the object Of the House is to present
the whole facts to the country, and
the facts will prove that Mr.. Tilden
is elected President OF the United
States. The Houses wishes the
Country to know that Tilden is elected
and that the Radicals are determined
to defrand him of bis election.
The Senate wishes the country to
believe that there was intimidation.
not only in the disputed states, but in
five Southern States. This is needed
y furtherance of the illegal revolu-
saionarYIplans that the Radicals de-
sign carrying out. Had Hayes been
elected, this investigation would not
have been ordered, for then it would
not have been needed as party meas
ure. As far as this coure will affect
us, we care very little about it. We
have been investigated and badgered
about so often, that we are beginning
to get used to it. tits far preferable
to the rule OF ignorant negroes, and
the Unsuitable greed and scoundrelism
o. the carpetsaggers apd scallawags
The Sena:;s may, # it wishes, send a
Committee here to reside, so that the
Radicals can see how everything is
conducted. As far as thc Southern
people are concerned, they scarcely
notice such things. They know thai
this never-ending course Of meddling
with US is hurtful to all the best in
terests Of the whole country. and that
it tends to Keep up false hopes in the
crowd of political vultures which
lhrong our State, but as they can't
prevent it they don't propose to both
d. themselves about il. There is one !
consolation in it. This sort of burtful
breeding of strife by trying oil sorts
If means to force unnatural and un-
'tsble Government on some of the
Southern States is having fully as bad
feet on the North as it is on US. aud
