South Carolina Frauds.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. O. Nothing
in the history of election rascality
at Five Points, New York, is equal
to the villainous, disgraceful out
RACES perpetrated by the Democrats
at Charleston and in other portions
of South Carolina last Tuesday.
Indubitable proofs of many of the
frauds committed have been re-
ceived here from official sources.
Secretary Sherman received to-day
a personal letter detailing some of
these barefaced frauds. BalIot-box
stufing was common in various
parts of the State, which, together
with the practice of "diyiding time"
at Republican meetings and raids
by armed red-shirted rufians,
accounts for the round one hun
bred thousand majority piled up
for Wade Hampton. In
Charleston an editor stuffed 5000
votes into the ballot-box in the dis
trict where the registered voters
number only $50, and no pretense
of taking them out was made. In
other instances, where the stuffing
caused an excess of the registered
voters of the district or precinct,
the excess was thrown out, but all Of
the votes thus discarded were votes
of the Republicans. The opinion is
expressed that South Carolina ought
to be deprived of representation in
the next House; but as Wade
Hampton's majority was made up
by the same kind of rascality as
those of the Democratic candidate
for Congress, it is not likely that he
will refuse to give them certificates
of election.

nesseeans ignore public opinion
outside of the State by repudiating
their sacred obligations, or, by
what amounts to the same thing,
refusing to do anything? Shall
the 'lamentable" silence OF the
State press on this subject not be
broken? Let the leading news
papers and all the newspapers of
the State speak out boldly and at
once. If they are in favor of repu>
diation in whole or in part, let them
say so, and especially if they are in
favor of an honest settlement of
the debt, let them say so in terms
that can not be misunderstood.
The people of Tennessee are not
towards, but if they longer main
tain silence on this great question
they will have to subject themselves
to the charge of cowardice, and
the newspapers viii be responsible
for it.
With one or two exceptions, two
papers published at GAINESVILLE,
Tennessee, the only ones we now
remember. the Democratic press of
the State has not had a word to say
agains the two-faced, ambiguous,
equivocal position assumed in the
canvass just closed, but the election
is now over, and if they were gov
erned by motives of mere expedi-
ence, that reason, if reason it may
be called, no longer exists. 1t will
be two years before another election
is to be held, and certainly they
can now afford to speak out. We
are glad to say that our city cOtem-
porary, the Knoxville Tribune has
already spoken and taken grounds
in favor Of honesty. Now let the
Nashville american, Memphis dps
peal, GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf and
Chronicle, Chattanooga Times,
Athens Post, and other leading
Democratic papers supposed to be
in favor of maintaing the credit of
State, come out before the Legisla-
ture meets, and let US have this
matter settled. If We are going to
let Us do it at once, and
not pretend to be honest when in
fact we are not. If, on the other
hand, We intend TO act honestly
with our creditors, let US manifest it
by accepting promptly the liberal
proposition made by those to whom
we are indebted, and proceed to
carry out the terms of the contract
in good faith. Nothing can be
gained by futher procrastination.

WASHINGTON. Oct. l5.-The October

The President has not recognized the
independence of Ronmauia, letter to the
Consul at Galatz has been misconstrued
into such recognition.
The Star says it can be authoritatively
stated that there is no truth whatever in
the statements variously made that the
President has decided or is about to
change his Southern policy. Tho princi-
pal reason for the statement is supposed
to be letter written by Attority Gen
erAl Devens. which will shortly be sent to
the District Attorneys of Alabama, Louis
ianaand South Carolina. directing them to
enforce the u. s. election law. This let
ter was written after such facts had been
laid before the President as clearly proved
that under existing circumstances no fair
election could be held in these States.
There was ample proof that such was the
case before the President and his Cabinet
and upon this the letter to District attor.
neys were based. The President regards
the enforcement of the laws as having nc
political aspect whatever It is only the
the national government performing a
duty required of it. Ii similar condition
of affairs should arise in New York or any
other State 10 the Union as exists in South
Carolina. Louisiana and Alabama, the
United States attorneys Of those states
would be directed to see that the eastern
laws are complied with. The Cabinei
