AN HONEST PROTEST.

In addition 10 Carl SchurZ, who denounces
the military usurpation at Charleston on Fri
day as utterly nnjustifiable, the New YORK
Erening Post, which supported Hayes through
thick and thin in the late contest, enters It's
solemn protest against this last outrage
against liberty. After recounting the facts,
the Post thus proceeds:
We protest against the proceeding, not on.
w IN the name OF liberty and justice, but in
behalf of the republican party, whose good
name and worthy record are brought IN
question by this resort TO military force IN a
question purely political. Here is already
incorporated into the history OF our repub-
lie precedent of as arbitrary nature as
THE ACT OF CROMWELL
when he turned the British parliament out OF
doors. The rule OF all representative bodies
that they are judges OF the election and quail
ifications of their members is summary set
aside, and Mr.. Dennis, the furniture dealer,
with the federal troops at his back, usurps
that office. Even the excuse that distur'
bance and bloodshed were decided upon, and
an instruction so formidable that Gov. Cham
berlain would lack the means to quell 1t, does
not appear to have been made. The us.
urpation is not marked with any plausible
pretext 1t sweeps away every restraint OF
usage and precedent and law, and substitutes
simple force for the quiet formalities OF ordi-
binary legislation. The republican party is
NOT POWERFUL ENOUGH
in comparison with the opposition to sustain
the responsibility of such measures, and IL
becomes every member of it who desires its
predominance and its usefulness to disclaim
all part n such proceedings.

Hon. r. L. GooDELL--While the Democ-
racy Of Illinois have abundant reason TO be
proud of the canvass they made at the recent
election, cutting down the republican major
ity in the state, from $1,000 to $4,000, they
should not forget that they are largely In,
debted tor this result to the interchangeable
labor and good judgment of Hon. r. E.
Goodell, by whom the campaign was chiefly
directed. Had 1.-THE of the means been
placed in his hands that were lavished on
Indiana, Illinois would have settled the pres
identlal question in way that would have
rendered the present muddle impossible.
We are by no means the first thus publicly
to recognize the services of Mr.. Goodell We
cut from couple of exchanges:
The Democracy of Fulton county feel un-
der special obligations to Hon. r. f. Goodell,
of Chicago, chairman of our State Executive
Committee, for the prompt attention given
by him to all the business intrusted TO his
hands. No request has been neglected, but
he has promptly and generously met all ex-
pectations, and voluntarily shown our people
many unexpected courtesies In common
with other Democrats throughout Illinois
we have little doubt that our State could have
been carried at least for Steward, had Mr.
Goodell been chairman of our State Central
Committee.-Fult0nC Co. Democrat.
The Democracy of Union county return
thanks to Mr.. Goodell for his prompt reply to
inquiries. He is an indefati Fable worker
and if he could have had the entire manage
ment of the campaign in this State, it would
have been better for the Democratic nomi-
nees. Other gentlemen in Chicago did their
whole duty and deserve credit for their
efficient work.-JOHesbOro Gazette

Important Evidence in the Scheme ~
Enlr,a Mine Affair

hon. Thomas Fitch, who is 81 present
in Carson, informs Us that he is pos
sessed of important facts touching the
relations existing between Minister
Schenck and the Emma Mining Com
pany. The nature of these facts is such
as TO invalidate the testimony given
agains. Schenck by Lyon. Mr.. Fitch
knew Lyon in Utah and was acquainted
with his Emma mine business. Also he
met him in London and talked over that
business with him there. The precise
nature ut the knowledge which Mr..
Fitch possesses regarding TINS matter We
are no: prepared TO indicate; bat that
his testimony would go a long way to-
ward impeaching Lyons statements and
clearing Minister Schenck from all blame
or suspicion of wrongdoins, We feel quite
convinced. Mr.. Fitch has no expecta-
ton OF going to Washington; indeed.
the nature OF his engagements here is
such rs TO prevent his going: hU. We
believe il Is his intention Of transmitting
to the Chairman Of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs a sworn statement Of
what he knows about this man Lyon and
his doiugs and sayings in relation 10 the
Minister and the said mining company.
