What the Forcfble Inauguration OF
Tilden Means.

What does the forcible Inauguration of
ssmuel ]. Tilden, now contemplated by the
Democracy, meant 1t means the destruction
Of constitutional liberty such a. IL guaranteed
to every American citizen. 1t means the
open vindication of the brutal and lsuless
mobs Of the Felicisnss Of Louisiana. 1t will
be q notification of the forms of law, and
demolition of the principle that every citizen
of the United States shall be protected in his
life, limb and property. 1t means business
prostr alton multiplied In its baleful evils oour-
pared to it's present cnndisi0u. 1t means labor
out or employment, industries lsnguishiag,
enterprises stricken PROSTATE at the feet Of
hard timer, and the wolf of starvation, gaunt
and hungry, bowling through the land. 1t
means the Constitution and Laws of the coun-
try trahpled under foot, historic precedeuts
ignored, and the will of the people, constitu-
tionally expressed at the ballot box, insulted
and contemptuously thrown aside.
The forcib!e Inauguration of Mr.. Tilden,
which the Democrats have determined to a.
tempt, means even more than all this. 1t
means the summary arrest and punishment of
every man who engages in the revolutionary
measure. As there is meaning in human
life, and human laws, and justice on earth, it
means all Of this.

NO CHI A RG e
The lone Hundred Thousand Un.
armedo Democratic.

Henry Watterson said In the Opera house
on Monday last that he expected to see in
Washington on the day the votes are to be
counted one hundred thousand unsrmed citi-
gems" These one hundred thousand Gun
armed" men will be Democrats. They are
coming here for the purpose of intimidating
the United States Senate and House of Rep
resentatiVes in the lawful discharge of the
responsible duties of the hour. They are
coming to sustain the action of the. Demo
cratic caucus, in which It was agreed to
force an election of Mr.. Tilden by the House
at all hazards. They are coming to counte-
nance that revolutionary measure and over
awe the Senate and Executive. 1t is a large
contract.
. American loyalty never has been brow
beaten from the path of public duty, and it
never will be. In preserving the Union, eleven
years since, the patriotic citizens of the nation
placed themselves in the annals of history as
q brave, clear-gritted and determined element
in the body polite, which wavers not at
menace nor covers ct the hostile attitude Of a
revolutionary mobocracy. For this reason We
say to the men who contemplate this sedl-
tious march upon the National Capital, your
eCuCLuC VIII VIC w deA
far better remain quietly st home, and buy
bread with the money you would expend in
coming and give it to your families.
Stay home and let your leaders manage this
delicate matter. They have the ability to
manipulate the wires of your party. Your
presence here would lend nothing to that
ability, and would only be . dangerous de-
monstration Of brute force. The right will
prevail. A million unsrmed Democrats can
net prevent its triumph.
The Republican party ask for nothing but
their constitutional rights and privileges.
They have manhood and pluck enough to OBJ
tain these. The Republican party loyes
peace. 1t also loves justice, equity
and law. The latter are more necessary than
the former, and the eternal principles Of right
demand that they shall be secured.

How THE negroes were intimidated 10 illus
trated In the Tallahassee Seminal: policemen
drove the negroes away from the polls; taxes
paid by them were not credited, and they were
not allowed to vote; reporters and white roughs
crowded them away fron the polls; they would
swear that negroes had voted who had not;
white supervisors rejected hundreds Of votes in
this way; towns with twenty thousand populs.
ton had but one polling place, and this was
crowded with whites, 30 that negroes were not
admitted until amer the polls were closed; at
noon on election day the supervisors Of election
took . recess and destroyed the oolored votes
cast up to that time" These and other tactics
were resortsd to BY the Democrats who now de-
mand that the Government shall be entrusted to
their holy keeping on the ground that Tilden
has . popular majority Of all the votes cast.

He went there as Republican, to be sure, bat he

ton that education should bo loft
to the churches. Some peculiar
branches Of instruction should, of
course, be impaired by the church ;
but education, pure and simple, is
tho duty Of tho State. And the
State must work through her own
agencies. This is u sufficient
reason for tho re-opening of a

injuro the Scctarian colleges now

The School Amendment.

The ratification of tho school
amendment will put Fairfield On her
feet again. The two mill tax will
realize nearly eight thousand dol
lars, all of which will be kept at
home and, with the poll tax, will
make liberal fund. With careful
officials and good teachers, thoro is
no reason why tho schools shall not
speedily become q great boon to tho
people.
It must DO remembered, however,
that tho taxes for tho fiscal year of
1877 have not yet beon levied by
the Legislature, and may not be
collected at all this winter, owing
to the scarcity of money. In this
case, no funds will result from tho
operation of this amendment until
next wintor, and teachers will have
to work on credit and wait until
then for their money. There will,
however, be the certainty that tho
money will como for, having fixed
data to 60 upon, the school com
missioner will close the schools rs
soon as the estimates arc reached.
It is we'll for the teachers to under
stand now, that there will be no
money for schools for this ensuing
year until the now taxes shall have
been levied and paid in.

State VS.. Sectarian Colleges.

The presidents Of tho different
Sectarian colleges now in the State,
met recently in Greenville and
passed resolutions opposing tho
rehabilitation Of the State Univor-
sity. They argued that it would
damage the colleges now in OK
istence, and that it would entail
upon the State an expense it cannot
now boar. Lastly, they asserted
their conviction that the education
OF youth should bo entrusted to tho
churches, through the medium of
denominational colleges.
It is cause for doop regret that
tho authorities of those colleges
havo seon fit to array themselves in
opposition t. tho University. Any
contest of that nature is bound to
injure all parties engaged in it.
The world is wide enough for all
a State college and denominational
colleges pursue different paths.
They will not necessarily como into
collision. But if the latter con
show conolusively that clashing
of interests is inevitable, then they
are the ones to yiold, not tho State
institution. It is q matter of con-
gratulation and rejoicing that the
colleges in question have done so
we'll thus far; and there are is no
reason why they shall not continue
to prosper. Denominational colloc %
existed in South Carolina in the
palmy days of tho South Carolina
College and the State Military
Academy. A rehabilitation of one
or both Of these institutions should
not be the destruction of their
competitors now.
But the State college must be
re-opened. The constitution pro-
vides for it's maintenance. The
buildings are all thero. One of the
most complete libraries of it's size
is there too. For o small sum OF
money the institution can be
put into operation. The New.
