The annnal report Of Lieutenant Wheel

A Wall from Sherman about the
Solid south.
New York. November 81.
Secretary Sherman has written o letter
to the editors Of Henry Ward Deecher's
paper, The Christian Cnion," denying
that the Administration fails to protect
the Internal Revenue officers now i'm
prisoned in South Carolina and indicted
for murder in killing an offender who
resisted arrest for completely with the no.
torious Redmond. Sherman states that
the officers are under arrest pending a
decision Of the question as to the removal
Of the action against them to the Unite d
States Circuit Court, and that the Govern
meut has done all it can in the legitimate
exercise OF its legal powers to secure th. ir
liberation. The Secretary adds that the
difficulty Of enforcing the laws Of the
United States in South Carolina, has been
illustrated during the recent canvass and
election in that State, when organized
bodies Of men, fully armed, broke up
public meetings and bullied unarmed, un-
organized and dcfenseless citizens. who
are invested by the Constitution with the
right to meet and discuss political ques-
lions and vote for the candidates Of their
choice. When these proceedings are not
sufficient for success, they cheat the poor
blacks of their franchise by the meanest
tricks Of ballot-box stufing. Such offenses
are more d grading and dangerous than
resistance to the Revenue laws. 1t must
be seen that it il difficult for theE Executive
officers Of the United States, crippled as
they are by recent l. gislation, to meet this
formidable opposition to the execution OF
