the Inspectors went To dinner, leav-
ing the ballo,-box in the hands of the
Democrats. who deliberately alb
s,rac,ed all the Republican votes, ex-
cept one, that had l,cen cast up to
that time. At the close of the polls
only - Republican votes were found
in the box. and yet there are at!ida-
vits here from 1873 voters, swearing
that they voted the Republican ticket

frands was tina, jackson county.

AN OLD PRECEDENT.

"The stssioning Of FEDERAL troops
IN sad about The State Mouse in South
Carolina,~ says Tho Bulletin. ''has
provoked great deal Of comment
about Federal usurpation. II Is IN
unpleasant fact at best. But 1t does
ne. follow that the country 10 going
to the dogs for all that. Democrats
who afect to see in this act the FIRST
OF a series of military usurpatlons
would do we'll to recall the fact that
asimilar case, in its essential features,
occurred twenty yesrs ago. when Mr..
Buchanan was President There were
election troubles in Kansas. A free
State Legislature had been elected,
and met in Topeka. THIS WAS not
according to the Administration pro-
gramme, which Was At that time TO
make Kansas q slave State. General
Sumner, acting under the direct
orders Of Buchanan, q Democratic
President, not only stationed his
troops in and about the State House
ut Topeka, but he commanded the
Legislature to disperse. Leading Re-
puhlicans implored ali good citizens
to obey this ''higher law No resist
ance was made. The members quiet
Nv vent home. Kansas was not
ruined. Another Legislature was
convened. Kansas became = free
State, and there was NO occasion
thereafter for military interference
with Legislation.
Nov the Federal troops have no:
vet gone rs far in South Carolina as
they went in Kansas. They have not
commanded the members of the
legislature to disperse. nor have they
gone much beyond what wss required
to preserve order. But however this
nav I've, We now have to note the fact
that Legislature Of Kansas twen'y
wears ago was sent home by Federal
troops and the State was not ruined.
On the contrary, it became 3 very
prosperous Commonw wealth, and =
more loyal S,ate is not found IN the
Union. We are ap, to magnify ex-
is,ing troubles. Military interference
~ general rule Is not PECULIAR and
can only I've justified on the ground
of great pnblie exigencies, such as
the preservation of puolie order aud
the putting down Of tumulss, riots
and rebellions. The dagger q mill
tary usurpsiion ia South Carolina to-
day Is certainly not greater than it
Was in Kansas twenty years ago.

result Of difference in politics and
were entertained and instructed in
the charges refurstions aud debates.
They did not suppose from the evil
dent fact that gentlemen were at the
pen on both sides that anything seri-
Gus or even painfully regretful would
ensue. Their supposition, however.
was doomed to be ilifounded, for ia.
a period of obscurity or undue irasci-

blame should most lie. The respon-
sible editor of the Chronicle and the
chief editor of the Enterprise have

public have had IA opportunity to
peruse.
Without any reference TO this case,
We may say that the cause of serious
differences among newspaper men 10
due, nine times out of ten, TO the
fact that persons without the least
shadow of character are admitted
into the profession. These persons
are the first to breed disturbance by
coarse accusations or booriSh insinu-
atoms. and arc the very last from
whom = man of Que feeling and trae
courage can obtain satisfaction. 1t
is absolute folly to maintain . con-
troversy with them in print, for. un-
able to support themselves by leglsi-
mate argument, and being 10y nature
coarse and by education unre1ned,
they at once resort TO that low abuse
which Is wholly without skill in its
delivery and worthy only of the most
low bred fellow. Vanity is so prom
inent with then, too, that out of their
own deficiencies they are able to
draw very satisfactory measure Of
