Mosby, the Confederate, who holds
foreign consulate, but resides in this
country and draws pay, has settled the
political problem, - far as his dictum
can accomplish the result, by announcing
that lie datthe cf iSS0 Is utreddy Eo;:gh!s
and ron, anil Grnn J.. Tie man. Perhaps
he is the man who is going to be run
over i'll that battle. The people may in
tend to pcrpctuatc Radicalism, but they
certainly do not contemplate a repetition
of Grantism. Mosby has become noto.
rlous as one of Grants most servilc un.
dcrstrappers, and it is difficult to say
whether the opposition to Grant or the
disgust with his man Friday (Mosby) is
stronger in the minds of the American
people.

The most healthf,. sign, among the
small things, that we have seen for the
Democracy is the fact that Mr.. Charles
A Dana and the paper he edits, the New
York Sun, have forsaken Mr.. Tildcn,
with tho Democratic party, and gone
back into tho Republican fold, which
they left several years ago because Presi-
dent Grant did not give Mr. Dana some
Federal appointment for which he ap-
piled. Since its profession of Demo
ratio sentiments the San has done us
much more harm than good, for under
the guise of friendship it has frequently
dealt the party organization some very
unfortunate blows, and when IL did ad-
vocate Democracy 1t did 30 in virulent,
vindictive and bragadocio style, which
was always Indicative of so much spleen
that It was moro calculated to drive the
independent voter OFF from the party
than to secure his adhesion. The defec-
ton Of the Sun from the Democratic
party only changes secret enemy into
an open foe. It Is a good riddance, and
the party may congratulate itself upon
having this dead weight unloaded.
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1878-11-21

The Hon. Zach. Chandler now pro-
poses to use United States troops to or
ganize the next Congress in the interest
of tie Republicans, like Grant used
them to organize tho Legislature of
Louisiana four years ago. We hope his
programme will be adopted, and that the
country will see lie usurpation and ty.
ranny which the administration of fraud
is willing to enact if opportunity is
afforded. The proposition would, indeed,
be startling one, If our people had not
so frequently seen the viii OF the people
set at defiance and overturned by the
strong arm of arbitrary power. 1t is
psoI"aAsd for the Republican members
elected to tho House of Representatives
to assemble with enough of the beaten
Radical candidates from Southern dis
tricts to give them majority, and then
to organize by the election of Republi.
can Speaker and other officers. This
procedure is to he carried out by the use
of United States troops, and to prepare
sale arrests are to be made in South Car
oina and other Southern States, while
thousands of aflidavits are 10 be publish
ed, setting forth fraud and intimidation.
If the Republicans could only be mad-
dencd enough to try this scheme, it
would secure the complete overthrow of
their party, and insure return of the
government to the party of law and or
der. The Senate is Democratic, and of
course it would not only refuse TO recog-
nize the revolutionary body, but would
act with the Democrats, who would or
ganize the lawful House of Representa-,
tives. The little game which Mr., Chan
dler proposes cannot do moro than allow
the Republicans to make fools of them
selves, and they are at perfect liberty to
proceed with the farce Of the exhibition
whenever they choose. Mr.. Chandler
had probably forgotten about the Demo.
cratS having the Senate.

Mr.. Blaine, in a congratulatory address
after the election, called upon the Repub-
licans to protect the four millions of col
cred people i'll their rights of suffrage,
claiming that as they have only two or
three colored men in Congress they are
practically disfranchised. If he wants to
have cciored men in Congress he will
have to run out the Radical carpet bag
gers, for they monopolize the Radical
nominations. If, however, he means that
he wishes to perpetuate the right to vote
conferred by the constitutional amend
ments, he need not trouble himself, for
the people of the South intend to hold OF,
to these provisions, so if that is the only
subject which induces the valiant peace
warrior Of Maine TO fight the South he
can compose himself il. quiet, fo- ..e are
as anxious i" SasI. tiis advantage. which
negro suffrage gives us rs he is to con-
fer these advantages. 1t is amusing, any
way, to see how brave and bclligerent Mr..
Blaine is towards the South now, when
he did no fighting when the civil war of
fcred such excellent opportunity for
brave men to satisfy their pugnacous
propensities.

The Northern papers are tccming with
charges of election frauds in South Caro-
lima, ard many of them cannot find
tcrms severe enough for the expression Of
their condemnation. These same part-
san journals have published the election
returns from this State for the past
twelve years, and, strange to say, they
never discovered anything wrong about
The el":.ions "::;l :hc Democrats cb-
talntI the government, although the
most glaring and infamous election
frauds were perpetrated at every election.
We are no. able to say that no frauds
have been committed in our late cleo
tons, but if any have been, there is no
doubt that the Republicans hare sinncd
more than they have been sinned against,
and whatever frauds lave been pcrpetra-
ted by Democrats have been individual
and without the sanction Of the party.
Our people abhor any tampering with
the sanctity Of the free ballo., and are as
ready to prevent or punish it as the reo-
i
election ere has been rs free and fair as
in either Of the States named, and there
i, no doubt that it has been fairer than
any that was ever held while the Rali-
calls had sway in our State. AS strange
rs it may seem, the r. ,icals have made
an ignominious failure for the lack of
shrcwd and expe. fenced leaders. In
many Counties they failed to have print
ell tickets, and the negroes in large mum.
bcrs refused to vote because they were
afraid to trust any one except their Rad
ical leaders to fix up tickets for them.
ln other Counties their candidates, see
ing that they would be unable to control
the colored vote, and realizing that defeat
was certain, counsclled the c0lorcd people
not to vote, in order that the smallness
of the vote might give them plausible
ground to charge intimidation, fraud,
and so forth. The papers which lend
themselves to circulating the falsehoods
and libcls emanating from defeated Rad
lcal candidates, are simply making them
selves the willing tools Of men who have
neither regard for truth nor honor. If
all the votes which are the subject of
reasonable suspicion were thrown out,
the Democrats would still control the
State, and every County in it, except
Beaufort. To charge fraud is one thing
to prove it is another. The proof is the
only justification Of the charge; and as
the election is in the Courts, public
opinion should not be formed until after
the judicial determination OF the ques-
ton. Whenever it undcrgoes this test
the wild statements that have been tele-
graphed and written to horrify the coun-
try and inflame the public mind against
the people of South Carolina, will dwin-
die into insignificance, assuming the
proportions of n mole-hill, instead of n
huge mountain Of fraud as now reported.
The charges of fraud only emanate from
defeated candidates, and the ,.cll they
are raising is prompted hy the hope of
procuring Federal appointments 1t is
about time for the honest people of the
Union to call halt on the game rs
played Mt present, as it is like1 to be
one in which tho people arc to receive
nothing, except the pleasure OF paying
the bills.

President Hayes has just pardoned q
gang of Republicans who were convicted
of ballot-box stuffing in Cincinnati, and
yet at the same time ne is greatly in
censed at the reported violations of tnr
election laws in some of the Southern
States, ridiculously having the kind OF
tickets that were voted in South Carolina
carried to the White House and man,pu-
lated in his presence that he might un-
dcrstand the mode Of ballot-box atufling
OF course, the mnnipu!ators were Re-
publicans, and of course they showed
Mr.. Hayes how to stuff ballot boxes :;
but did it occur to his fraudulency that
their familiarity with the process of
stuffing ballot-bcxes does not prove any
thing on the Democrats. They were
only showing him how the Radicals have
carried elections for the eight years they
ruled in South Carolina. We wonder,
however, If n set of Southern Democrats
should be convicted of the same offence
as the Cincinnati Radicals IL Mr.. Hayes
would pardon them also?

Wholesale arrests are being made IL
the low country by United States off :ials
upon the aflidayits of ignorant and per-
jured negroes, charging Democrats with
fraud in the election and with intinida-
tion of voters. These cases Will not
amount 70 anything with fair trial. but
If they are to come on before the sub
servient Judge Bond, with packed jurics
and pcrjured witnesses, they MAJ give n
great deal of annoyance, though we
have no idea that this vindictive Radical
Judge can secure n conviction before
even packed jury in the United States
Court. Indeed, it il notorious that many
Of these prosecutions are not expected
nor intended for anything more than
justification of the charges of fraud which
the defeated candidates are making, and
after hanging over for few terms they
will BE- quietly dismissed and nothing
more heard of them. There is also an
other point in these prosecutions which
IS worthy Of the consideration Of the pco-
pie OF the whole country, which is, that
hundreds of warrants are made out and
served by vilainous commissioners and
deputy marshmls who procure them to be
taken out for the purpose Of making the
fees allowed by the government. There
is no reason for such am extensive array
of cases in this State, and the whole pro-
cedurc is of n pace with Merrili's in
famous swiidles nnder the pretense OF
extirpating ku Kluxism. In that mat
ter there were about one hundred war
rants issued for every one case that had
enough in it to be served. We have no
doubt that this species Of rascality is be-
ing practiced now, and that the taxpay-
ers of the United States will have to pay
one hundred thousand dollars or more
- these incompetent and vicious Federal
officers, who are using their positions to
crafty their personal enmity or their po-
litical interests. The course now being
pursued in South Carolina is an outrage.
but we have been long subjected to such
treatment by Fedora. officers. The
thing has, however, gone about far
enough, and it is time to put stop to it,
and teach the rascals who are engaged in
it that the men who forge prison chains
very frequently wear them themselves.
Indictments in the State Courts against
those who make the affidavits would
very properly lie for perjury, and after
the discharge of the cases in the Federal
Courts they might be prosecuted for ma.
licious prosecution. We should teach
the raacals who institute these cases that
it is perilous undertaking to seek po-
litical revenge by gronndless nrosecr-
tions.
