THE Charleston NeUS and Courier
tells it that the curtain now ris9s upon
the last act OF reconstruction in South
Carolina. Whittemore, the cadetship
peddler, is a fugitive from justice; the
whereabouts of Leslie, OF land commits
sion fame, are not known; ex-Treasurer
Parker is in a convenient hiding place,
and his successor, Cardozo, has been
bound over for trial at the next term
of court of general sessions. Ex-Gov-
ernor Moses and ex Speaker Lee (col-
ered) have just been arrested, and even
this is not the end. Other arrests are
coming; other warrants have been
issued. The investigating committee
are doing their work so thoroughly
that even the most adroit and cunning
of the thieyish gang will not escape.
Ca-dozo's case arises from fertile
cause of wrong-printiug, and he has
willfully Violated law as to make him
SuUJGCl W uChNS AuSS di'' lp'S IN
onment. The bail requi.el II C.r5oz ,
was $40, 900, and he has abscondec,
The story is that he only wants "a
avoid repeated arrest on did-gent
charges, and that he will return
in time for trial. The plain truth
probably is that Cardozo's guilty con-
science warned him that it was safer to
leave the State while his bail was only
$50, 900. The purpose of the General
Assembly was to ascertain who had de-
frauded the State, and to institute pro-
ceedings against the culprits. They
have an enormous duty to discharge,
and it is confidently believed that they
will be no respector of persons, jut
will give the culprits SIMPLE justice
and nothing more. The people are not
vindictive; but they insist that every
rascal whose crimes can be discovered
shall be arrested and tried in these
DAYS of reckoning. >a-

excuse upon which to insidiously at
tack it, and it does appear that the de-
mand coming from Pennsylvania is
particularly significant when her Gov
ernor was so lately prepared TO loan
the United States government forty or
fifty thousand men to suppress the new
rebellion at the South. One
tenth of this number of State
troops would have allayed all difficnl-
ties in Pennsylvania in twenty four
hours, and hal the States advisers,
among whom NJ doubE Scott was fore
most, started off to Immediately re-
duce the mob, it certainly could have
been done. The States are able to pro-
tect them selves, and the Federal gov
ernment should interfere, if at all, only
so far as to procure q uniform system
of militia based upon population. It is
useless to talk of the Federal govern
ment keeping standing army Ii New
York and Pennsylvania to carry out
the behests of Gould and Scott, for the
people will not submit to such as
sumption Of authority. 1t would
inaugurate rebellion, such as
has not yet been seen in
this country, one in which "labor
aid capital" " would he forgotten in
preserving government in accord
with the spirit of it's people. That
deep wrong has been the prime cause
of all this late trouble caBpot he denied.
for willie justice has preserved peac'
in sections of the country, Others sub
ject to opposite influences have been
disturbed. Certainly this is ques
ton in which the government has n
right to control.

PRESIDENT MAcMAHoN's scheme for
uniting the elements opposed to re-
publicanYm in France has broken
down, and the elections in October
will, beyond doubt result in favor
of its present form of government.
But, with this popular expression in
opposition to the old forms of govern
ment, there comes apprehension of ex-
cesses on the part of the communists.
Such a triumph. it is feared,
will again develop the spirit of 1871,
which not even Ganbetta could con-
troll, and French patriots, who are not
hostile to republicAnism. but tremble
at commune power, would cheerfully
submit to corp dstat by which the
government would be wrenched from
Republicans and placed again in the
nands of monarchists. France, it is
believed, cannot exist under anything
but strong government, and while
its republican administration Is vir-
tually monarchy, the form is fruit
ful source for excesses and strife. A
monarchy is the only natural form ot
government fol France. .s, ?

GOVERNOR NICHOLS, when a mob
was lately feared in New Orleans, or
dered the Washington artillery cut
with orders to fire no blank cartridges
in case they were called upon to dis.
perse a mob. Such general orders
were issued to all the military, and
sentiment alone prevailed in prevent
ing violence. And now Tom Scott
should send his Governor down to
learn the art of governing.

T9E abatement of exnor,s and :,

The statement of exports aud i'm
ports made up for the fiscal year end
ing June 80 shows a handsome bal
ance in favor of the former. The
exports in products Of the soil and
Industries amounted to $602, $50, =
900, and the imports to $3.50, ,41O, 900 =
an excess of exports of $15I, sl3, 900.
Tie increase Of exports over 1875 was
S62, 600, 006, and the decrease of i'm
ports was $4,000, 600. The exports
of gold and silver for the year
were $50. .061, 900, and the imports
$40, 963, 900, showing an excess of ex,
ports of SIS, S25, 900. The change in
foreign commerce since 1878 is re-
markable. From 1869 to 1875 the
country was buying more than it sold,
and imports largely exceeded exports
but the collapse of 1878 put a stop to
this, and now more is being sold than
is bought, and exports of domestic
produce largely exceed imports. The
goli and silver exports are always
greater than our imports because the
precious metals are products of the
country, and during the last eleven
years we have sent abroad 1853, 1856, :
900 in precious metals. This balance
in favor of exports shows a healthy
condition of trade, one that would
soon change the condition of none
tary affairs were it not for the terrible
policy being pursued by John Sher-
man.

selected. The Richmond Dispatch
makes the tally up to date as follows
Daniel, 325; Malone, goo; Holiday,

others, 174. And the history of con
ventions is sdch that it is impossible to
tell whether any one of these men will
receive the nomination.

A VAST crop is being grown all over
the United States. Portions of the

with seasons that have brought about
plenty, and every ship that leaves our

ton, meat and grain. A vast amount
of ammunition and arms and textile
fabrics re&lso being shipped to 9TH

given why the balance of trade should
not soon be largely in our favor, and
money become plentiful and easy.

WM. II. VANDERBILT is an excep-
tionsl railroad king. The generosity
of his course to employees can be
thoroughly appreciated here, where
everything is conducted in an atmos
phere dissimilar to that which gives
rise to troubles on the Pennsylvania
and Ohio roads. Mr. Vanderbilt has
been open and frank with his men, and
they in return have shown u high ap-
probation of lis consideration. His
conduct and its consequences is proof
of our theory that wrong lies not so
employer. y newspaper correspon-
dent, writing from Saratoga, gives Mr..
VanderbilI's explanation of his excep-
tional position as follows:
On the Central there has not been
what may be called strike. The OBJ.
structions to tTayel and traffic mostly
came from outside parties. l simply
appealed to the manliness and the
common interest of everybody con-
nected with the road, and our people
have noby sustained me. :Eink l
nave s""rv reason TO be proud of this
result, because Eave always tried to
act toward the empIDJ eea of the com
pany as one of latm, and to show
them that their interests and mine are
identical. No more intelligent body
of men can be found anywhere than
the $50 engineers employed on the
Central, and they know, even better
than do, what business the road is
doing and what it can afford to pay.
So it is seen that sentiment has an in.
fuence in the management of a great
railroad enterprise Win lts tWelVe
thousand employees. The president
of the New York Central has demon
strated the fact that railroad employees
are more the creatures of reason than
of force. After all, was it not public
sentiment and not bsyonets that put
an end to the strikes

ton, and cannot think of endorsing
