Now that the election is over it will
not be considered as an electioneering
story, to refer to the outrages in the
South
In Tensas Parish, Louisiana, the color
ed Republicans attempted to hold po-

ten or twelve negroes were killed
In South Carolina no Republican
meetings are permitted.
The following dispatch appeared in the
Cincinnati Gazette last Saturday:
WASHINGTON, Oct 1S.-News from Re.
publican sources, arrived today, fully
confirm the statement of the Democratic
papers as to the condition of affairs in
Sumter County, S. c., and the inaugura-
tion of a shotgun policy under Wade
Hampton. The Edgefeld idea still ap-

Republicans. South Carolina is practic.

issued from headquarters that every
county must be carried at all hazards,
regardless of consequences. The era of

expected and predicted has not come,
and will not come, unless the Republi

the domination of the Democratic minor
ity The Republicans, although in an
overwhelming majority, have not dared
to make nominations for State officers,
and they are not able to hold mass
meeting in the State. The recent atti-
tude of the administration is ridiculed,
and the letter of the Attorney General
directing the United States District At

enforced utterly disregarded, and as the

letter received to night from Judge
Lee, of Sumterville, explains why he did
not attend the Republican meeting there
last Saturday. Lee says: aide de Camp
Darden, of Hampton staff, had my house
surrounded with one of his companies

From information received here it ii
believed by prominent officials that tht
work now in progress in South Csrolins
to crush out the Republican organization
was begun at the urgent advice of the sam'
set of Northern Democrats who insisted
from Warrington upon the gerrymander
ing of Ohio. The object sought by then
is the same as that in view in Ohio
namely, to control a majority of the del
egation, so as to have the vote of tn
State for President in case the next cleo
tion is thrown into the House. Th
pending effort in South Carolina is t
carry the present Republican districts
namely, Raineys, Smalps, and Gains
and so have majority of the Congres
sional delegation.
