EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
WASHINGTON, D. G. Apr. 3'1877.
SIR: Prior to entering upon the duties
Of the Presidency, there had been sta
toned, by order Of my predecessor,
in the State House at Columbia, s. c.,
detachment of U. s. infantry. Find
ing them in that place; l have thought
proper to delay decision Of tho ques-
top Of their removal until could con-
slider aud determine whether the coudi-
ton Of affairs in that State is now such
Is to either require or justify the con-
tinued military occupation Of the State
house. In my opinion, there does not
now exist in that State such domestic
violence as is contemplated by the con-
stitution as the ground upon which the
military power Of tho national govern
ment may be invoked for the defense
Of the State. Their, are, It's true,
grave and serious disputes as to tie rights
Of certain claimants to the chief execu-
tive Office Of that State, but they are to
be settled and determined by such or
derby and amicable methods as may be
provided by the constitution and law Of
the State. I feel assured no resort to
violence is contemplated in that quarter,
but that on the contrary the disputes
10 question are to be settled solely by
such peaceful remedies as the constitu-
ton and law Of the State provides.
Under these circumstances, and in this
confidence, l now deem it proper to tax,
action in accordance with the principles
announced when entered on the duties
Of the Presidency. You are therefore
directed to see that proper orders are
issued for the removal Of said troops
from the State House to their previous
place Of encampment.
II. B. HAYES.
Hon. GEO. w. McCRARY, Secretary
of War.
The N. Y. Tribune says the evident
tendency Of Mr.. Hayes policy is to
make elections hereafter what they have
often failed to be in the past, real in
dication of the popular preferences. At
the South he is endeavoring to do away
with bayonet campaigns and false count
ing; at the North no proposes to dis
pense with the labors of post officers
and gaugers in organizing victory"
Re duccd to their. last expression the
twi,a reforms which he 10 bringing
in, hand in hand, mean nothing more
or less than IRE, ballot, undisturbed
BY official influences, and a fair count
COVE rned by the rules Of arithmetic
rather than by the politics of a custom
house. If there is any party in the
