DEMOCRATIC papers and spouters
are terribly afflicted because Grant
is determined on an honest, free elec-
tion in South Carolina, and other
Southern States. These mad demo,
Gratis want the policy of intimida-
tion--the shotgun and derringer
plan--kept up, that thereby the reb-
els may give the Electoral votes of
these States to Tilden. But Presi-
dent Grant says: stand back, gen.
tlemen; no intimidation; let every
man vote according to his convic-
tions; let us have an honest, free
election, as becomes American citi-
zens; then, whichever party is sue
cessful, let it be so counted, written
and obeyed. What more can rebel
ask, or even his copperhead associ-
ate in the North2 But this Ameri.
can plan don't seem to suit the Til
denites, and they propose mischief.
Nevertheless, General Grants Or
ders will be obeyed, and it may be
necessary, as it was in 1851, to kill a
few more democrats that free bal
lot, and free government, may ex-
ist.

In view of the above facts the
Democrats have in many localities
united with the colored men and as
sisted them to Office over their pc
culiar friends, the Republicans, who
never yet voted for colored man
when it was possible to defeat him,
and they will do it again when the
public interest is to be advanced by
SO doing.-Bulletin.
That is the way the democrats have
of talking. But the more practical
and important question is, how do
they act? Let US go down to South
Carolina and see. A correspondent
of the New York Tribune, writing OF
the celebration of the Fort Moultrie
Centennial in Charleston, says:
'There were many colored police
men in South Carolina, whom the
whites here had learned to treat prop
erly; indeed, they were SO common
as to attract no notice. But the
troops from Democratic Georgia were
startled at such a novelty as negroes
holding offices, even so humble as po-
sitions on the police. So they were
loud in their derision, rode over them
ruthlessly, kicked them right and
left, and finally bayoneted or stabbed
colored resident of the city. Not
an arrest was made Tor the stab
bing."

a mysterious dispensation of Providence

for she was endowed with mind of pc
culiar clearness and strength, and prom

and an ornament to her sex. From ear
liest childhood. books we're her delight,
and study mere pastime. She availed
herself of every opportunity for I'M

far beyond those of most other girls of
her age. Her mind, however, was not
her only charm. She had warm and
loving heart, and deported herself In
such Il manner as TO win the hearts OF
all who were thrown into contact with
her, and especially endeared herself to
her teachers and school-mates. Life
was very sweet to her, and she did what
she could to make it so to others. A

hard to give her up in the freshness and

OnlgCo OoooCo ohaAA aG@A eA-
tee to each State republican form OF
Government" Exactly. Not mil
itary form of Government. Not the
Government of the saber. Not the
glittering rule CT the bayonet--Csn-
cinnats Enquirer.
Just so. 1t is the government OF
the saber," and the glittering rule of
the bayonet," that Gen. Grant is seek
ing to break up. That this saber and
bayonet rule was in full power in
South Carolina no one can deny. BY
it a system of terrorism was pro-
duced which in effect denied to the
people of that State a republican
form of government" and to re-estab-
lish that Constitutional form of gov
ernment is the work Gen. Grant is
engaged in.
In proof of the saber and bayonet
rule, the following extract from the
Charleston correspondent of the New
York Tribune is sufficient proof:
sOne passing through South Caro-
lima would imagine that it was in a
state of war. 1t resembles a vast
armed camp. On every green and
public square the clang Of muskets
can be heard, as parading infantry
ground their arms. From every old
field rings out threateningly the note
of the bugle or the booming ofthe field
piece, as cavalry and artillery perform
their evolutions. The depots are
crowded with cases of firearms, Or
dered from the North. The stores
can not supply the demand for arms
and ammunition, and every gunsmith
in the city and blacksmith in the
country is repairing dilapidated weap-
ons. No one is seen on the streets
without a repeater or rifle; and not
day passes in town or city but that
the quick and scattering reports OF
guns and pistols, used on targets in
the vicinity, would lead stranger to
suppose that skirmish, if not bat
tie, was in progress around him. Nor
i is this all. In every part of the State
there are monster open air political
mass meetings. These meetings are
followed by torchlight parades, OF
preceded by professions of rifle clubs,
cavalry, artillery companies, and civil
ians, marching to the sound of mar
tial music. The speakers, invariably
master-spirits of the lost cause, arise
and deliver the most vehement ad-
dresses, denouncing the Republican
Administration and the Republican
party, State and National, and calling
on their hearers to rise. The widest
cheering rings out in response, mixed
with the notes of the band and the
crashing of cannon; and the people
disperse to their homes with war, war
for their cry-war even to the knife. y
To permit such a state of things
as this to exist, in any State of this
free Nation, would be a crime against
liberty and humanity, and we rejoice
that we have President Of like spir
it with Gen. jackson, who, upon s
very similar occasion, said to these
rebels, cease your opposition to the
lust powers of the government Oh
else I will hang every man of you as
high as Haman. So now, if the reb
els do not cease to exercise their sa
ber and bayonet rule, we hope the
command will ring along the line o
the boys in blue, "rsady, fire."

A Southern Picture.

On September 10, 4 rifle club, COM
manded by Captain A. p. Butler, went
to EllentOn and took wood train, with
which they proceeded to a station call
ed Robbins. Here they found Coker
quietly seated on his valise, waiting for
a train. Some of them exclaimed,
seThere's that Radical niger,
Cokerm Captain Butler went up to
him and said, "COker, Pm the niger
ruler, and you have got to go with me-"
Then the unfortunate man was sur
rounded by Buffers command and
dragged into one of the cars of the
wood train, which then returned to Ell
lenton. Arriving there, Coler was
taken into an open field, and Captain
Butler said to him, cocker what's your
business? 90 81 am Representative
from Barnwell County to the South
Carolina Legislature" was the reply.
Gan the better" said Butler; sRepre-
sentative or no Representative, you are
a Radical niger, and you have to die. "
'sFor Gods sake, give me time to pray "
cried the unhappy negro. Certainly,
answered Captain Butler, spray away,
but pray quick" Coker then knelt
down and began to pray. While he

back six or eight feet and shot at him
twice. He fell forward on his face
bleeding and dying. Butler then made
sign to his men, and six of them fired
into the wounded man. He died. The
men who killed him took his watch,
money and his gold shirt buttons, and
then, leaving the body to rot, returned
to Robbins. These facts are sworn te
by three eye-witnesses, who state Co.
ker's only crime was his Republican,
| ism.
Such scenes as this find no condem
nation from democratic newspapers
or democratic orators. But just lei
Gen. Grant come forward and state
that such proceedings must stop, OF
he will send troops to guard th'
rights of the citizen, and how
will go up from the democratic
throats startling to hear.

DEMOCRATS, by their howl over the
sending of troops to South Carolina,
practically say, that the black man
has no rights which the white man is
bound to respect; that the rebels have
perfect right to shoot them down if
they don't vote the democratic tick
ct. 1t happens, however, that we have
a President who believes in justice
to all men. How would it be if Til
den occupied Grants place? The
consequences would be appalling. :.

THOSE who count upon Tilden C

THOSE who count upon Tilden car.
rying New York, must count upon
fraud wherewith do it. The New
York Tribune makes this plain in
the following extract:
New York is the battle-ground
Republicans acknowledge it. Demo
Gratis boastfully assert it, confident in
the ability of Governor Tilden to
carry his own State. What ground
is there for this confidence? Nine
Democrats out of ten look no further
than the fact that Governor Tilden
did carry the State in 1874. Yet his
vote at that time was only 4l6,391
and the Republicans had cast 49,
sol for Governor Dix two years be-
fore. The Republicans who did moi
vote elected Mr.. Tilden. If there is
any thing certain, it is certain that q
very full vote of both parties will be
cast this year. Now the Democrats
have never polled as large an honest
vote in the whole history of the State,
as they did in electing Mr.. Tiiden in
1874, for they were then REINFORCED
by many thousand Liberals and In
dependents. That he will not get
the votes of great proportion OF
these is known to him. and to every
other intelligent Democrat. A few
hundred support him still, and will
do their best to elect him. At least
twenty thousand oppose him, and
will do their best to defeat him. But
with their aid, the largest Democratic
vote ever really cast in New York
was 29, 40 less than the Republican
vote cast for President Grant in 1872,
when the Liberals opposed him.
Where, then, is the reason for ex-
pecting Mr.. Tilden's electionp

RUMoRs of a general war in Europe
have been current the past week.
The situation is certainly critical
one, but the latest reports are more
peaceable. The trouble is with Rus
sia, who evinces a desire to try the
gage of battle with Turkey. The
other great powers protest, and are
seeking by diplomacy to settle dis
turbing questions. The general out
look is certainly warlike.

Yes, and when Lincoln, in 1861,

then, it is the same hellish spirit OF

necessity now as then, that every true
American should sustain the right

That Lie Nailed.

They have q Tilden Literary Bu-
reau, in New York, which prepares
and sends out matter for the country
democratic press, which is paid for
at so much line. The Bulletin
circulated some of this matter, last
week, in the shape of an extra. in eff
feet charging Governor Hayes with
being a member of an association
known as the American Alliance,
which supports none but American
born citizens for Office. The thing
had been declared and proven a
falsehood long ago, but that seems to
make no difference with the crow
eaters. They keep the falsehood go,
ing. To put the vile SANDER forever
at rest, we publish the following let
ter from the Secretary of the Alli-
ance, which nails the lie to the wood
'AMERICAN ALLIANCE,

"T'o the Editor of the Neao York
Times:
81 wish to correct some Of the
mistakes in the letter which was pub
lished in the World, San, DC, on
Wednesday, as coming from Gov
ernor Hayes secretary:
"First-Governor Hayes never was
a member of the American Alliance.
"Second-He never saw the consti-
tuition or bylaws of the organiza-
tion.
"Third-No committee of this Or

We simply notified him by letter
that we indorsed his nomination; in
answer to which we received the let
ter from my Office, and 1 was as much
surprised as any could be to see it IN

~ am at loss to see why these
papers should find any fault with the
proceedings, as we indorsed Mr.. Til
den for Governor two years ago, and
he found no fault with it, but, on the
contrary, was very grateful for the
assistance, only he requested that il
might be kept a secret, as, if il
should become public, he feared he
might lose the foreign vote.

JUDGE NASH made q good speech
at the Court House, Friday evening.
The one question which overshadow-
ed all others, in this campaign, was
whether the men who saved the
Nation in its hour of peril, or the
men who by armed rebellion sought
its destruction, should now rule and
control its great interests. To this
question the Judge applied his re-
marks, and in the spirit of non-
partisan made plain the duty of every
true and patriotic citizen. That
duty was, to vote for HAYES and
WHEELER. Tilden, elected as he will
be if elected at all, by the solid
South, will be their instrument and
their agent, to work out their theo-
ries, plans and purposes. Is it safe,
is it wise, to trust the great princi-
Piles of unity and freedom in the
hands of the solid South? That is
the transcendant issue of the cam
paign, and to its consideration and
solution, every voter should apply the
best powers of his mind, and then
act as becomes patriot, not blindly
as partisan-not as mere machine
in the hands of corrupt party lead
ers, whose only interest is, posses
sion of the spoils.

In view of the election of Tilden.
Wade Hampton, Democratic candi-
date for Governor in South Carolina,
says: "When the 7th day of Novem-
Der comes, the old flag of South Car
olina will be seen ruling South Caro-.
lima" Not the flag of the union, the
stars and stripes, but the palmetto
banner, is to rule. That is the way
these rebels read the election of Til
den.
