The south Caroline Troubles.

Four internal revenue officers, in at
tempting to arrest notorious outlaw and
illicit distiller in Pickens county, were met
and opposed by one of his men, Amos
Laid, who was armed. and aimed gun at
one Of the officers. The officer fired first
and killed Ladd. and the four gave
themselves up to the Sheriff Of the
could, partly, it seems, out of fear
of violence. .Thereupon they were indicted
in the State Court for murder, and their
counsel procured writ of habeas corpus
from the clerk Of the United States Circuit
Court in order to transfer them to its
jurisdiction. Judge Kershaw, OF the
State Court, refused to surrender the men,
for reasons which are given in our de-
spatches from Columbia, which contain all
accurate account of the whole affair.
Section 634 of the Revised Statutes pro-
vides that ''when any civil suit or criminal
prosecution is begun in any court OF
State" against a revenue officer OF the
United States ''for any act done under color
of his Office or of any law or Of any right,
title or authority claimed by such officer
or other person under any such law,
then ''the suit or prosecution may be
removed at any time before the
trial or final hearing thereof for
trial before the Circuit Court next to be
holden in the district where the same is
pending;" and the statute proceeds to pro-
vide in what manner the removal to the
federal court shall be asked and made, and
goes on to say that when the process has
been compl eted by the issue Of the writ
from the Circuit Court the case "shall
be held to be removed to the Circuit Court,
and any further proceedings, trial and
Judgment thereon in the State Court shall
be void" Judge Kershaw, it seems, thinks
the statute unconstitutional, and refuses to
give up the prisoners There is no need of
any excitement about the matter. Cover
nor Hampton and the President are
in correspondence about it, and Judge
Kershaw himself says, according to our
correspondent, that he only desires to have
the question tested in the federal Supreme
Court. If it should go against him-as
it probably will, because the law
seems to be necessary to the proper
enforcement of the internal revenue
laws-the four officers will have good case
against the Judge for false imprisonment,
and ought to get exemplary damages. 1t
is to be regretted that the dispute happens
in South Carolina; but there is plainly no
occasion for unrolling the Old Flag.

in the case of a mob too powerful for the
civil authorities to control.
Major Bnrke's testimony and dispatches
prove conclusively that the Louisiana ques-
ton was settled to all intents and purposes
by President Grant. with the advice and
consent of Senators Sherman, Morton and
many others of the republican leaders
and of personal friends of Mr.. Hayes
who gave assurances that what President
Grant was doing would not be changed by
Mr.. Hayes if he became President. But it
appears further that these assurances
were given by the managers of the republic
can party, and General Grants action took
place, not before, but after the caucus
in which the democrats finally deter
mined that the count should go on. Major
Burke and Mr.. Ellis concur in this state
ment, and say that the determination
of the democratic caucus was q sur
prise and disappointment to them and
to the Southern members generally,
who thought that guarantees ought
to have been first got for Louisiana
and South Carolina that they reproached
various democrats for leaving these States
to their fate, and that they were able
after the caucus to procure IN agree
ment on the part of considerable num-
Der of democrats to make a pre-
tence of opposition to the count until
the republican leaders should give satisfac-
tory guarantees. 1t was in consequence of
this movement that President Grant, Sena-
tors Sherman and Morton, Representatives
Garfield and Foster and others united in
assurances which satisfied the Louisiana
men not merely that Mr.. Hayes was in
clined to deal justly, but, what was Of much
greater moment, that in doing so he
would have the support of the most influ-
entail leaders Of his party, which the
Southern men naturally considered OF vital
Importance.
1t is curious piece of history and will
afford employment to the political agitators
and quidlnuncs for some time; and it proves
that the Southern policy Of President Hayes
bad the consent beforehand of the leaders
of his party, and that all the fuss which has
been made about it by republicans since is
as uncalled for AS it is absurd.

Diplomacy aud News.

Some lively phrases have passed In Lon
don in relation to the course Of the London
Globe in publishing the famous Anglo-Rus-
sian treaty before its contemporaries. Her
Majesty's government has prosecuted the
person who supplied the GLOBE with ITS
copy. He was charged with theft, but was
proved not guilty. Her Majesty's prose-
cutting officer grossly assailed the Globe Tor
purchasing what this man did not steal.
Inasmuch as it is proved there was no theft
there was consequently no stolen property,
and what passed between the Globe and its
agent was an intangible secret. not subject
to legal appreciation. But that secret was
position taken by the government is that it
is q great piece of improperly on the part
of newspaper to publish any fact relating
to government transactions without knew
ing whether the government would like it.
This notion exhibits the charming fresh
ness of lawyers fancy. 1t was alleged in
London that the Russians were parties to
this publication, and also that the govern
ment was party to it. Perhaps the world
was under the common delusion in that re-
spect. How could it know that it was not
playing adroitly into the hands Of the gov
eminent in the timely development of a
peculiar fact? But the Globe published an
outline of the treaty, and Lord Salisbury
declared that the publication was "unau-
thenticatcd and unworthy of confidence"
Surely, upon such statement the Globe
might safely publish the whole document
in the full faith that it was not disclosing
prenaturely any government secret. But
as the government assumes so lofty posi-
ton in regard to people who purchase
other peoples secrets it is not an untimoly
inquiry that is made rs to whether the
British Foreign Office ever bought any doc
umcnts belonging to tho Russian govern
ment from Russian employees.

In the London World the accomplished
editor of that journal and other writers
have recently discussed with more or less
felicity some nice points OF French gram
mar, and particularly the gender OF the
word samour" in it's singular. and plural
forms respectively, and the queer conclu-
sion they have reached is one eminently
satisfactory to the insular pride, since it is
that a certain English lady knows the
French language SO we'll that she can give
points to Alfred de Musset. This lady ia
ssthe accomplished author OF Aurora
Floyd' and almost half hundred other de-
lightful novels ;" and the original sinner
whose blunder in the gender OF the word
mentioned provoked all the fiery critics was
the Titan Atlas himself. De Mussets line
which the lady corrects is Us follows:-
Su,vre pimbrogllo anours mRnons
The lady says this last word should have
been ,ngnonnes, and would have been If the
exigencies Of rhyme had not put the
poet in tight place. As to which
it is not clear that the lady is right;
and indeed it is not quite clear but that
all she says on the subject is nonsense.
This depends upon what she means py the
spassion of love-" She says" Amour

the plural, though masculine in the singu-
lar" .'Anlour' is certainly masculine in the
singular. whatever it means. In the plural
it is sometimes masculine and sometimes
feminine, and the gender depends here
upon the object of ''the passion" 1t Is
not an indication of good experience in
tho Gallo lands that the French language
contemplases all loves that are pure, adj
mirable and worthy as masculine, whether
singular or plural, and les folles amo,rs as
always feminine. In the line quoted from
Dc Musset it is not plain that the word is
feminine under the principle that Classics
as such all loves that involve passion in its
worst sense; because the ''amours mignons"
are specified in the catalogue as those Of

African Colonization.


The story Of Encouragement in the case
of the emigrants to Liberia, as published in
Yesterdays HERALD, is not encouraging even
to those who believe that the negro race
which was torn from Africa should, out OF
the unfailing justice OF time, be sent back
to Africa furnished with the civilizing
forces which it has acquired in America.
TO those who have a sly idea that whole
sale exodus Of the Southern negroes would
bring the Southern whites to their senses
and make the latter more considerate OF
their colored brethren the dismal story of
the emigrants Of the Azor must also be
dispiriting. After the camp meeting enthu-
siasm under the influence of which the
poor people have been induced to pay their
money to bungling. if not corrupt, leaders
has been cooled by hearing Of the actual
experience of those who have gone to the
west coast of Africa we do not think that
the movement will find many more dupes.
The dream Of regen erating Africa while
making their own fortunes rapidly will not
tempt many who hear OF the swindled band
left at Monrovia with q three weeks supply
of food and months of labor before them
for themselves. 1t is worthy of note in
reference to this question of negro colo
nization that ex-President Grant in one
of his historic talks with a HERALD
correspondent in Europe gave as o
reason for favoring the ST. Domingo
annexation project that it would be an es-
cape valve for the negroes They certainly
could reach the West Indies without any Of
the suffering of the middle passage" but
how very much better they would be of in
st. Domingo in sharp competition with the
whites, who would also rush in for share
of the coffee planting, is not easily answer
able One thing can be said for it--nameiy,
that they would still have the American
surroundings they were born TO.
While all this agitation among the simple
colored folk is directed to taking them out
of their present homes why do the friends
Of the negro neglect the public lands OF the
United States whose millions of acres await
tillage? A party of pretentious colored
s1eaders," who have as much idea OF how to
manage an emigration as the Chinese had
of making steamboat when they put pad
dlcwheels and q chimney on junk and set
gang Of coolies to turn the wheels, are
going up and down the Southern States
collecting money to send their brethren
three thousand miles away to begin life
again in wilderness. If there are too many
negroes in the South for their own or the
South's good-which we do not believe--no
movement for lettering their condition
could be more effective than helping them
to occupy the unpre-empted lands of our
Republic. These people are Americans,
with as long standing claims to the name as
ninety-nine hundredths OF their white fel.
low citizens, and plans for improving their
condition should be made with this fact
steadily in view. America is good enough
for than

THE great Indian scare in Burnett
and St. Croix counties proves to have
been absolutely unfounded. The In
dams were enjoying one of their pecu-
liar dances, and congregated in incon-
siderable Plumbers, a pistol was fired,
and then began the exodus. a panic
seized the people. Homes were left
to the mercy of the torch Of the saw
age. Corpses prepared for burial we've
left to rot upon the beds where life
had left them. Household goods were
upcared for, and day and night the
frightened fools fled to the settlements
for protection. The bubble has ex-
ploded, and the fact is recorded that
the American people may be the big
gest fools in the world. Only a few
years ago we had like experience,
and for days armed men patrolled the
streets, when there was not an In
dian within forty miles. The Indians
Stunned the town and no money could
have induced even she bravest to have
put in an appearance. A little sense
is worth everything in times Of big
rumors.
