Grant ON .south Carol,na.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE's LAST INTERVIEW
WITH ULYSSES oS AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CARO-
LIMA. 44
5s The New York Tribune OF Yesterday
falonday) publishes an interview with Grant
regarding South Carolina, in which the
President Is made to say: In South Caro-
lima the contest had assumed such phase
that the whole army OF the United States
would be inadequate to enforce the author
ity Of Governor Chamberlain. The people
OF that State had resolved not to resort to
violence, but adopted . mode Of resistance
much more formidable and effective than
armed demonstration. They have refused
to pay their State taxes TO Governor Cham
bcrlain, and it would be useless to sell out
their property, as no one would buy it.
Unless Governor Chamberlain could COM
pei the collection Of taxes it would be
utterly useless for him to expect to retain
his authority for any length OF time. This
state Of affairs must inevitably result in the
abandonment Of all efforts by Governor
Chamberlain to maintain himself in the eX-
ercise OF functions in the State. OF South
Carolina.

Governor Hayes Encouraged

1t is reported from Columbus, Ohio, that
Governor HAYES, on being apprised Of the
decision of the Electoral Commission in re-
gard to Louisiana, remarked that itlook
encouraging for the Republicans, but be-
trayed no particular emotion. He received
many mplimentary kilograms, among them
one from P. T. BARNUM, saying: 81 want
"no favors, but for the sake of the country
"thank God for your election" Among the
callers ON him at his Office, in Columbus,
Ohio, Saturday was FRED. DOUGLASS. We
would rather, for the. responsibility of the
proceeding, that some other names than
those Of BARNUM and FRED. DOUGLASS had
been amongst the prominent fellcitators.
Perhaps we should be glad to compromise
upon them; because, as WELLS, PACKARD,
KELLOGG, STEARNs, ), CHAMBERLAIN Sc Co.,
really elected HAYES they havethe best right
OF all men to be amongst the foremost Of
the supporters of HAYES to salute him.
The Electoral Commission indeed has
legalized their frauds and given them the
title to HAYEs's respect as we'll as his graft

LOVELY AND UGLY PHAsEs.-The Knox
vile Tribune is, like many other Journals,
struck with the different phases presented
BIZ the sentiments and action OF the Yer-
mont senator, Edmunds. Exactly such
craftsmanship IS not to be found in every
section OF the Union. The Tribune says ::
"Let us have no more partisan, no more
friend, no more opponent, no more enemy,

said tie hypocritical Edmunds in his speech
advocating the electoral bill. Now he is all
"partisan," all "iiiend," all opponent"

To beTaken with a Grain of Salt.

To DeIaken WIN Graln OF SalI.
Rumors come in battalions from Wash
ington Of very surprising nature. The
most ultra Of Radicals are said to be avow-
ing most kindly dispositions, and to fore
shadow future that appears in the dis
tance like the establishment Of peace on
earth and goodwill to men. We are not
surprised that the remorse Of some men
should prompt them to say something kind
and generous to endeavor to win good
opinion from those whom they have grossly
offended. 1t is, after all, calculated to make
us think better OF very bad men that they
show desire to recover some OF the repu-
tation they have lost by something like q
show of humanity.
The rumors are mostly incredible upon
the grounds of reason and probability.
Still they may turn out surprisingly. What
is our part in the days history is to put no
hasty and impulsive trust in those whose
lives prove them utterly unworthy. II any
thing good should come from a quarter
from which we expect nothing, it will be
indeed an agreeable surprise; and it will
come to those who have suffered long. But
even should it come, the part OF wise and
watchful people, who have learned the ne
cessity of being wise and watchful, Will be
to make no imprudent surrenders and to
scan well the schemes OF the scurvy politi-
clans. We should in no case place our
selves to disadvantage in the presence of
any delusive snares which may be spread
before us.
But we don't believe the rumors

The Electoral Decision.

The Washington Star claims to be an in
dependent paper; but its surroundings and
bias have in no manner suggested the idea
that it had any aversion to the Republican
party and its "policy," so-called. The fol-
lowing extract from the Star shows that it
does not respect the decision of the Elec-
toral Commission in the Louisiana case
After the decision Of the Electoral Com
mission in the Florida case the result in the
case of Louisiana was to be expected Of
course the Republicans are highly elated,
and the Democrats are correspondingly de-
pressed over the result The two decisions
Establish. at least for the time, the principle
that Congress cannot take cognizance either
of fraud in an election or of the ineligibili-
ty of electors, and that all votes coming to
the Joint convention properly certified by
the certifying officer must be counted.
The inquiry of the Commission extends
only to the returns OF the State
canvassing officers, and in all cases where
the certificates Of the Governor is found
to be based upon such returns it must be
accepted and Che vote must be counted. ID
therefore follows that If the Governor
chooses to certify to the election OF aliens
or mlnors-persons Ineligible under the
Constitution-theiry votes must be received
and counted. And it, further follows that
the President may be an ineligible person,
since the vote Of the electors certified 10 by
the Governors Of States must, be accepted,
provided they are based on the returns OF
the State canyasslng. authorities. The re-
suit will be far from acceptable to many
persons who would prefer to see the presi-
Dental contest settled in accordance with
the principles OF right and justice rather
than with the technical forms of law.

LEAVE PACKARD TO HAYEs-GRAET IS
RATHER INCLINED TO Do IT. Washington,
February Ex-senator Sherman, Represen-
tatiyes Garfield and Foster, Dir. Eyarts,
and Stanley Matthews called on the Presi-
dent to-day aud had long conversation
with him IN regard to affairs In Louisiana.
They specially requested him not to take
any step toward recognizing Packard, or
to any way interfere with Nicholls's gov
eminent. They suggested that he submit
all facts in regard to the two, State gov
ernments in Louisiana in special mes
sage to Congress, but 10 make no particular
recommendation. They want the whole
question left open for the newrAdministra-
ton to deal with. It Is understood that
similar recommendations in regard to South
Carolina will be made within few days by
Republican statesmen. The object OF all
this is to enable the southern Democrats to
submit gracefully and good-naturedly to
the decision OF the Electoral Commission by
holding out to them the hope that there Is
to be new deal under the new Administra-
ton. Grant is inclined to follow their advice
in regard to Louisiana because he has no
particular love for Packard since he quar-
relied with jim Casey and refused to allow
him to come to the United States Senate.
1t is doubtful, however, what his course
will be toward South Carolina. Patterson
and Chamberlain are very much exercised
about their future under Hayes. They have
no confidence that they will be protected II
the recognition of the Chamberlain govern
ment is postponed till. after the 4th OF
March, and hence are pushing Grant,
through Cameron's influence, with great
persistency.-Special to baltimore Gazette.

The High Connrnission.
EDITORS of the DISPATCH !:

EUlLOfS VI VIC DSSputCHs
Dear Sirs,-My little note to you was
based upon an idea OF the character OF
the members of the Electoral Tribunal,
which, lament to say, their subsequent
course has shown to have been romantic.
T could not doubt that American states
men and Judges, in an emergency so solemn
and important, would. try to do their duty,
or at least, out Of respect for the rights and
feelings of their countrymen, exhibit de-
cent regard for appearances. Their first
work was suspicious, but reluctantly asked
further patience and respect.
To my mind they now appear the servlle
instruments OF a deprayed party, obdurate
10 every appeal Of patriotism, lost to every
impulse of duty, insensible to public rep
rotation, and the betrayers OF their country
in its hour of direst need.
It is not Nlr. Tilden nor the Democratic
party that have been defeated. But right,
Justice, decency, the dignity OF courts have
been dishonored, and for the time in the
ewes of the civilized world justice in Anne
RIGA has yielded to party spirit. "From
the crown OF the head to the sole OF the foot
there is nought but wounds, and bruises,
and putreiying sores"
| The Tribunal was chosen to do substan-
| tial Justice in great matter submitted to
! them. IL mas TcluSeu u ueal INC c.icc. ~
has plead official ignorance OF frauds and
iniouities that the very atmosphere OF
the land is reekilg with. 1t has excluded
knowledge that almost every child OF the
land is familiar with. 1t has shut out all
the facts that had so eXasperated the coun,
try as to bring it to the very verge OF civil
war, It has refused to hear the cause 1t was
made to arbitrate, and has prostltuted the
judiciary to the lowest uses OF the iaWI
the enforcement OF technicalties to shield
fraud and inflict wrong. "Suprem0 w.,
summa iryuria."
Still would abide by its decision. The
monstrous failure and disgrace OF the High
Commission prove only what universal
suffrage and the decentralization Of war
may bring upon a people. They prove that
the people have not chosen their representa-
tives for either private or public virtue or
wisdom. Civil strife will accomplish only
universal ruin. ;.
We are great people, and can submit
for a time to even this triumph OF fraud,
and wrong, and treachery through the
forms OF law. There are virtue and man
illness enough in America to vindicate the
right. Let us keep in the right. Let us
most wisely preserve all the ADVANTAGES OF
principle that are on our side. And Time,
wthe Old Justice that tries all OFFENDERS %
will avenge US.
"The Lord God Omnipotent reignoth."
Yours, ... ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

SENTIMENT, ETC, ABOUT LOUISIANA
JYashinqton, February 19.-On all sides is
heard the expression OF that Indignation at
the action OF the Electoral Commission
which moves the breasts OF all not blinded
by partisan bigotry. Even the extreme
men OF the Radical party, while gloating
over their wicked triumph, evInce some
feelings OF shame for the manner in which
it was won, and while they are willing TO
accent the fruits of the work OF the Com
mission they do not undertake on any prln-
cipe Of justice or equity to defend tue ac-
ton or the motives OF the men by whom
that work has be Ten wrought. When Wells
was before the investigating committee OF
the House the other day he asked the ques-
ton, /" Am a vassal, OF am l peer!" bis
question can now be answered. lie Is the
peer in every respect Of those members OF
the Electoral Commission who have en-
dorsed his action. a. ..s.--...,
Hours before the vote was taken in the
Commission Mr.. Morton had telegraphed to
his pimps at home that the vote would be
eight to seven. The most bitter disappoint-
ment at the action Of the Commission Is ex-
hibited by those who supported the electoral
bill in good faith: and who builded blindly,
as it now seems, on the supposed non-parti-
san attributes of the Supreme Court JUS
tices-more particularly Justice Bradley.
In the House' and in the Senate yesterday
little else was talked Of, and while there
were unsparing words Of condemnation,
the majority were OF the opinion that no.
thing in the way OF extraordinary measures
to defeat the conspiracy should be resorted
