HAYES s0CTH CAROLINA Foley.
Yesterday the Secretary Of War Wa
instructed by the President 10 issue an
order to General Ruger. in South Caro-
lima. commanding him 10 withdraw the
troops from the Stats House in Colum-
bia. and 60 into camp with them. This
movement was not unexpected. and will
surprise nobody Who has watched the
Presidents actions since the inaugura-
ton. It wa evident from the first that
the system made necessary b.. the var.
Of upholding State governments by mill
itary power. was rspulsivs to President
Hayss' ideas Of Rspublicanism. and that
he would abolish Ii 70 far . he could
with safety 10 the peacs Of the country.
IL wa also evident that NO sslhsh mo-
tivss. and no partizan feelings. would
Be- allowed TO iniusnco his action In the
matter; that. having once decided thai
. step was right. he would take that step
regardless Of party elanor or party con-
sequences.
whether the removal OF the troops
from the Columbia State House Ia . wise
measure Of the Administration will b.
judged entirely BY the result OF the
movement. As we said once before. IL
10 very dangerous ground on which the
President Is just now treading. II be
passes over safely. all will be we'll. and
those who condemn him most heartily
now will DO the first aud loudsst to ap-
plaud his action. II Is good to know
that hs is proceeding cautiously. He
took ample time to investigate this South
Carolina question; he had the two
claimants for tho Governorship before
him. and heard both sides Of the CON-
plicaied story. He had wise and able
men to counsel him. and the order now
issued is In accordance with the best
Judgment Of those men. He has done
nothing hastily. AL was well consid-
cred In advance. and now he aud his
policy must stand or fall With the people
in the consequences Of this. his first
important executive act.
The removal Of the troops, while Il Ia
not . formal recognition Of Wade Hamp-
ton. amounts to practically the same
thing. All that Hampton wanted to
make his government cou,pletsi In South
Carolina. was possession OF the State
house aud State official papers. Thai
control he never could have obtained
without n resort to violent means. q
long az United States troops were quar-
tered in the building. All the Stat'
Courts combined could not have dis
lodged a single United States soldier
Bot now. with no guard in the building
all that Hampton has TO do Is to secure
writ Of election against Chamberlain y
any Judge OF q State Court and tn
Courts are al with him-and that gen
tlsman must step down and out, giving
to his rival the possession which b
covets. And Wade Hampton once in
stalled in the Siaie-houss the Soutl
Carolina question is settled. 80 far a
Chamberlain Is concerned.
To Judge Of the result Of this first &C
Of the President in carrying out his new
policy. would at this time Be premature
and unjust. The partisans Of Hampton
have now all that they asked for. ant
they have ID direct from the hands Of tn
Republican President Of the Units'
States. II they respect the promis'
made by their Governor to the Prssi

and Democratic. are secured alike. tn
