Persecution in south Carolina.

The disposition evinced by the South Caro-
lima Democratic officials to proceed against
certain well-known Republicans of that
State, merely because of their influence and
past devotion to party,is in the highest degree
reprehensible. The average South Carolina
Democrat is not immaculate. The victims
who fell during the KuKlux period, together
with those who gave up their lives at Ham
burg and EllentOn, are standing rcproach
to the civilization of this century. We are
not disposed to defend any class OF men
who have been faithless to trusts committed
to them neither are we disposed TO defend
assassins and murdcrers who have indis-
Republicans for opinions sake, If the Re-
publicans of the South have all been
dishonest, ~ the Democrats would have
us believe, we can assert with
equal force, and challenge contradiction,
when we say that the Democrats of the
a,sassins and murderers in order that they
may step upon the bodies of their PROSTATE
victims to power. 1t must be remembered
that WOODRUFF is the stcnographcr who
swears by memorandum made in short hand
seven or eight years ago, and which no one
can read but himself, and which he can read
anything he plcascs. lie isthe chief witness
against all the Republicans that have been
indicted in Columbia. lie avows his own
dishonOr in his efforts to inculpate others.
He made u bargain for immunity for him
self provided lie would swear against lead
ing Republicans. And although there is no
corroborating testimony, such is the preiu-
dice among jurors against Republicans that
CARDOZO was convicted on the testimony
of this renegade with memorandum, and
it is highly probable that all the rest of the
indicted will follow suit.
The following is extracted from Il private
letter addressed by prominent citizen Of
south Carolina to II gentleman in this city ::
The feeling of the people of this community

hurrencc for the State witness in the case OF

order to secure their ill-guttcn gains came,
forward and volunteered more information
than they really knew, which laid the founda-
ton for the proceedings in that case. never

my life, and it is only astonishing that
an intelligent community would accept the
testimony of such arrant liars and

down men starving In consn cnce Of the un-
just legislation Of the RcpubHCIn party. He
proposed 10 st by yCa-nnd-nay vote In the
House whether the army was intended for
this purpose.
Mr.. TitRoCKMORTON made an appeal for
tho protection Of tho Mexican border, and de-
clared the army was not sufficient to protect
the people Of that State.
Mr.. PRlDEMORE said that if there was
state OF war In Texas the President should
communicate the information to the House. lie
believed the volunteer army the equal Of the
regulars, and would ohccrfully support the
amendment OF MIR. BLACK BunN.
Mr.. WRIGHT contendcd that the rioters In
his district had right TO demand their rights,
and the introduction of United States troops
there only acted as menace to further excite
these men. He denied the right of FEDERAL
troops to Interfere In these lnral questions.
Mr. CLYMER said the bill was TO pay the
army rs II stood when Congress was called to-
gethnr, and the committee hal reported tho
bill for that purpose. lie did not think large
army necessary, and would never vote .or an
army to keep the peace in the States.
MIR. CULBERSON said they did not ask any
change In the law but wanted the number
left just where the law put II. lie said his
people had been murdered and the flag of the
country insultcd on the border without a suf-
iicient force to ayenge tho one or protect the
other.
Mr.BANNING said a good deal had been
said on the floor about tho number Of men In
the army, and there seemed good deal of
difference Of opinion as To the exact number.
lie thought he could give the House some in
formation on this point. lie had received n
statement from the Adjutant- General, show
ing the number of men in each branch of the
service. Ho read the table, showing an ag-
grcgate Of 22,304 men on the lst day Of No
vember.
Mr.. HEWITT, of N. Y. said he held in his
hands detailed statement, made up in the
Adjutant- Generals office, which showed the
same figures, but was made up to August 81,
and Gen. Sherman had said he believed that
by deaths and desertions the number was less
now than 10000 men.
Mr.. BANKS thought Il unwise to reduce
the army at the present time, when at any
moment much larger number may be re-.
quirod but ho would not use the army against
the workingmcn of the country. If he could
have his way he would put 10000 or 5000
men on the Mexican border, not to invade that
country, but to protect the lives and property
Of American citizens.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN said the Sioux war had
closed, Gen. Miles had captured Joseph, and
Sitting Bull had retire to Canada, 10 that
there were no need of an army except on the
Mexican border; and IL those disturbances were
not suppressed he would declare war and wipe
out Mexico. He thought 5000 men enough.
At 4:20 p. M, on motion of Mr.. ATKINS,
and without disposing Of the first amendment
the committee rose, and on motion Of Mr.
MILLS, the House adjourned

his loss when they so much have lost in the

cutting down the brightest flowers in the flock

MORTON are already numbered among those
who have gone into that future, that eter-
nifty that we read and hear so much OF, but of
which we in reality know so little. They
are now-aiter life, after dcath-posscssed of
the great secret of the everlasting mystery

sorrowful intelligence that JOHN BRoUGHAM
is dying Brought to his home in New York
from u Western city, where he had gone to give
pleasure to the people he is reported us being

this broad land the name of JoHN BRoUGuAM
has ever been spoken with delight. When

tho hearts of the people always responded
with joyful throb He is one of natures
children, for always in the most unaffected

Hess English Opera Company.

"a Summer Nights Dream" the opera with
which Mr.. Hess commences his season next
week at the National Theatre, represents the
brightest and daintiest phases of the famous
school Of the French opera comique. The
libretto Is fanciful, and In defiance to all dra-
matte or historical proprieties; yet II tells a
pretty story OF love and romance. The music
is in texture like the old lace Of the fair land
Of France, exquisite in Its arabesque figures,
almost gossamer in its fneness. The role of
Queen Elisabeth, written for the celebrated
Madame Ugalde will test the voice and dra-
matte qualities of the now prima donna,
Miss Emelie Melville, to the utmost extent
Mrs. Seguin, the most charming of English,
opera artists, has u sympathetic role as Lady
Oiiria, and Castle has an opportunity to im-
nortalizc himself as Shakespeare. But to Henry
Pcako falls the most rollicking role ever es-
sayed by this excellent artist-that of the
burly jack FaLsigf. Tho long and successful
career of Mr.. Hess as manager Of English
opera promises well in this now departure he
has made from the old, hackueycd repertoire.
He presents next week three operas, which are
complete novelties, and promises to place them
on the stage in the richest mauner-chorus,
orchestra, costumes, mi.s-en-scene, properties,
&c, forming an appropriate frame to the ar
tistic excellence of the principal artists.
To Miss Melville, the favorite of Australia,
California and New York, kindly greeting Is
due from our cultured opcra-goers. Young,
h ,ndsome, an excellent actress, and trained
| in severe school, in which she has developed
qualities of u high dramatic order. Miss Mel
Vile would be n star even outside the barriers
of opera. But when to these qualities Is added
II clear, resonant, sympathetic voice, to which
brIuerd or ballad singing is alike acccpta.
bl,-bird like in the upper register and flute
/ like in the CHI st tones-the first appearance OF
Miss Melville in Washington may be regarded
as a musical event of the utmost interest
