tcaOs.
Washington Special (Oct. ~ to Chicago Times.
This mornings Republican contained
double-leaded appeal to NE government to
declare martial law in South Carolina, upon
the ground of the alleged intimidation of
Republican voters by Wade Hampton's rife
clubs. The reports of these intimidations
come in thick and fast, butare made by such
irresponsible, characterless people their
stories should be taken with much caution.
There is q very determined and vigorous
effort here to work the old outrage business
so that interference in the coming elections
could be justified from party standpoint
Secretary Sherman las. within the
last day or two, expressed great
encouragement at the Prospect of solid
South. IF it could be broken the Republic
cans might have chance to control the
next House, and as a necessary consequence
the machinery of counting the votes for
President. Secretaries McCrary and Thomp-
son agree with Secretary Sherman in a de-
sire to break the solid South. They are dis
posed to listen creduously 10 every story of
outrage or intimidation that is brought
them from the South. member of the
cabinet, in discussing this subject this
evening, said nothing would be done upon
the part of the administration to repress
these alleged outrages except to enforce the
laws. The prosecuting attorneys and mar
shals have already received their instructions
Intimidation will be rigidly punished, and, il
the laws are resisted, then the power O
the government will be exercised as in cas-,
of rebellion. The Republican organ here
more in haste, has already declared Soutl
Carolina in state of rebellion. Just at thi
moment the shifty Republican crowd j,
South Carolina have it in their power Il
make trouble. They have been here, an,
l4are here now. They have during their sta,
received such encouragement from Secretar
| Sherman as to lead them to suppose tina
they will be backed up if they can skillfull
| stir up trouble. The hot-headed imprudenc
of the South Carolina Bourbons can be con
fdently relied upon as 80 much prepare
finder. The news of the murder of fe,
dozen negroes would be glad tidings at th
Republican campaign headquarters. Dow

The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1878-06-27

Evidently the counsel for the defence in
the Hunter case were badly inspired when
they put their client on the stand as wit
dramatic fury, that he. would not sit still
and hear his life sworn away. But if his
life has been sworn away it has been by
himself He is the most damaging witness
against his own life that has been produced.
He has personally convinced the jury how
valueless is testimony to character in gen.
eral. and in particular how little the people
must have known him who have sworn to
the gentleness of his nature. One of the
nbsurdities Of evidence in any case is when
a man is accused Of o crime to endeavor to
show that it is unlikely that he
is guilty because Tom. Dick and
Harry have good opinion Of him.
Evidence of good character can be produced
for any person not habitual criminal,
and for about half of the habitual criminals.
Yet very large proportion Of murders are
done by people not commonly known to
the police. In Hunters case there was a
great array of evidence which, if it had any
value at I'LL, went to show that he could not
possibly do q great wrong or violence to
another. Yet he has stood up in tho court
and ragged with vindictive denunciation, in
which was apparent the very temper and
mood in which all acts of violence are done.
His alibi is clearly of no value whatever.
and the attempt to force it as an important
feature Of the case has only resulted in the
production Of more exact and specific evil
denco that he was at Camden at the time
previously shown.

An Indian Fight.

In to-day's paper will be found General
Towards report, transmitted by General
Mcdowell, of the fight with the Bannocks,
which was announced in the HERALD Of
yesterday. This collision occurred on Sun
day, ut point forty-tiye miles from Har-
ney 1t is supposed that Buffalo Horn, the
big Indian Of the Bannocks, was killed in
the fight, with about forty warriors. Buffalo
Horns death is even stated positively in
General Howard's report; but 1t will be
we'll not to be too sanguine on point
like this, for the death Of the Indian leader
is commonly announced as result of all
fights with Indians 1t appears from our
dispatches as to the results of tho battle
that it was decisive as far as it went though
''the Indians rallied" on another point and
were not pursued. In what circumstances
their rally was made we learn in the news
from Silver City. As our losses were light
the enemy was perhaps not pushed very
hard. But it must be remembered that this
was rather a preliminary brush with an
advanced guard. Bernard was doubtless
reinforced fast night with all the men that
are with Howard, and mn important battle
may follow in the Stein Mountain country.

Gortschakotf settling the affairs of Europe
over cigar. cigarette and a clay pipe.


Mr.. Vanderbilt, who is the directing
mind OF the Hudson River and New York
Central. has written o letter to Chicago
journal deprecating the ruinots COMPETE
ton which has SO long been maintained
by the rival roads which connect the sea-
board with the West. Its tendency, unless
arrested, is to destroy the value Of these great
lines. One Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's statements
is most significant He says that the sew
eral trunk lines, if worked to their full en-
pacity. could carry four times the amount
of freight which the West supplies. If this
be so the construction of the new double
track by the New York Central must have
been wasteful mistake. 1t has been the
boast of that road for several years
way, but if the existing acconim odations
are SO much in excess of the business as he
represents the doubling Of the Central
tracks must have been miscalculation.
They were probably doubled in vain ex-
pectation that the Erie Canal could be sup
planted and put out Of the field Of competi-
tion. Transportation by water is SO much
cheaper than transportation by rail that the
canal will always do a large business, and
its prospects are improved by the refnarka-
BILE confession which MIR. Vanderbilt now
makes. The trunk roads have been doing
business at rates which they cannot afford,
and if his counsel is needed and the roads
combine to do business on paying basis
the canal will be more sought than it
has been in recent years. II the
canal can do heavy business when
the railroads are running themselves
by carrying freights at loss it will be
able to do still larger business when the
trunk roads make the pooling arrangement
which Mr.. Vanderbilt recommends, and
charge such rates as they can afford. And
in proportion as business is drawn away
from the railroads to the canal will the
hold Of New York on Western trade be
strengthened, since the canal can feed the
business of no other city. t

1t is not little curious that nearly all
our modern statesmen and soldiers are great
smokers. Grants blazing cigar has become
historic. Sheridan and Sherman are as
fond Of good Havana as their old COM
mander. General b. l.. Butler loves what
is called "dry SMOKE" which has the
merit of being at least economical. Schuyler
Colfax was too good to smoke his chief
weakness was stationery contracts. II Mr..
Hayes smokes. the Washington correspond
ents, who find out everything, have not
yet discovered it, On the other side of
the water all the great men smoke also.
Bismarck, we are told, transacts all
his official business with cigar in his
mouth. Nearly NIL tho crowned heads
smoke, tho fashion having been set them
by the late Napoleon, who pulled cigar
cites ut Cabinet councils. In the memoirs
OF Herr Maurice Busch. Prince Bismarck's
late secretary, there is an interesting story
describing how the great German statesman
enforced his privilege of smoking at the
sessions OF the Military Commission of tho
Diet at Frankfort. Count Rechberg. the
President, who represented Austria, was
the only member who smoked at the Board.
Rochow the Prussian representative,
was an inveterate smoker but did
not dare to light cigar. When
Bismarck arrived he did not see why prus-
sia should not have the same privileges rs
Austria, and at the first meeting pulled
out u cigar and asked R-chberg Tor o light,
which, the Prince says, che gave me. stupc-
ticd at my coolncas. The other delegates
were, it seems, equally amazed and wrote
to their respective governments for instruc-
tions: but tho subject was serious and they
did not get an answer for months. In the
meantime the Hanoverian representative
fired up, to DO oven with Bismarck,
when the Saxon produced cigar to
maintain the balance of power and
smoke The remaining delegates from
Wurtemberg and Darmstadt never smoked,
but believing the honor of their States to BIO
ut stake they bought somo mild cigars and
pulled away ut their opponents We do
not know whether smoking is strictly pro-
1ibited or not in the present Berlin Con-

never know how deeply we are indebted to
them for having preserved us SO long
from national annihilation. 1t is true
that during the last one hundred
years they have. sent small army OF
infant patriots to meet Washington and
jefferson and Jackson on the other side OF
the shining river; but that is, after all, only
small matter. It is true that in the. pur-
suit Of their patriotic purpose they have
blown more. legs and arms off than were
shot away in the long seven years war md
burned down more property than the Hes
SLAMS ever destroyed. but all that is mere
bagatelle in comparison with preserving the
sacred traditions of the Republic. We re-
greet that these exemplary patriots are likely
to be disappointed this year, that their
plans for our national we'll being are to be
frustrated. But the times are really hard.
