The Elections Tuesday.

Two things are pretty conclusively set
tied by the vote of last Tuesday through
out the United States, and they are that
the people of this nation are in favor of
sound money and National honor, and
that the exhibitions of political devil
ment which have been witnessed through
odt the South do not find a welcome
along the Union and liberty loving peo-
pie of the North. The gentlemen of that
section who are running the Red Shirt"
Clip .igps and virtually disfranchising a
million of voters for whom they get cred
it in their representation may as well
learn first as last that solid South"
will make solid North, just as long as
they see fit to invite the division. and
that the constitutional rights of all the
people of the Union must be guaranteed
before sectional feelings. and animosities
can be removed There are statements
published in all the Northern papers, es-
pecially the Republican ones, from their
own correspondents in the South in re
gard to the outrageous conduct of the
Democratic leaders to get control of
States and districts which are politically
opposed to them These correspondents
are reliable, responsible gentlemen. and
their statements are as they should be,
believed by their readers at home, and it
is utterly idle for either the Northern
or Southern Democratic press to attempt
to deny or belittle them
When we read from the pens of such
men as DR. Redfeld, III. v R Of the
Commercial. concerning the proceedings
of the armed raiders of South Carolina
during the past few weeks, we know we
are reading facts and that to deny them,
is simple falsehood. They are unwilling
ly cerroborated by every issue of such
rabid rebel sheets as the Charleston Cou-
rier which cannot but exult over the CON
quest which armed force is making for
the Democracy of the State. The very
admission that demand is made for
division of time at meeting of political
opponents is sufficient to politically damn
the party making it. And yet this is the
regular studied course of proceeding
among the boasted lovers Of free govern
ment in the State of South Carolina,
Louisiana and other of the Southern
States where Republican meetings are
attempted Suppose such thing as this
should be attempted by either party in
the North. The party making it would
not get votes enough to give it a respect,
able funeral
During Grants last1term and the reign
of the so called carpet-bag governments
in some of the Southern States, the ex-
cuse for political persecution and ostra
cism was that it was essential that the
white people should obtain control of
their local governments. No such ex
cuse now exists, and there is not State
in the Union more absolutely free from
all outside interferences or influence
either Federal or otherwise, than South
Carolina, and never has her disposition
to overrule the constitutional rights of
her citizens been more pronounced than
during the campaign just closed An in
teIligent man need only to read the re-
! suit to understand the matter thoroughly
A State which has given within few
years thirty thousand Republican major
ity cannot now elect single Republican
Congressman and but three members OF
the State Legislature, and give Repub-
