SOUTH CAROLINA ExPEpIENrs.

South Carolina Is 1oundering in Its mre
only to be the more inextricsbly transflxcd
in its own political flth As II feels the
hand Of Federal power placed upon 1t with
an avenging touch for the crimes its people
have committed, the State authorities have
inaugurated flank movement against II to
defeat the ends Of justice. The Federal
officials have made numerous arrests for
bull-dozing and other unlawful proceedings
against the rights of citizenship guaranteed
by the Constitution, and the witnesses
have been subprnaed to sustain the
charges. Now, in turn, the State authori-
ties have issued processes for the arrest oi
these witnesses on trumpcd up charges
and they are being incarcerated in prison to
prevent their attendance upon the United
States courts when the trials shall come
on Perhaps this dodge will work, but We
shall see whether it does or not. If the
President has seriously determined to win.
dictate the laws and punish the offenders
against their majesty, these imprisoned
witnesses will be let loose to testify, il the
prison locks are picked with bayonets,
backed by United States soldiers, to accom-.
plish that end.

were satisfied with the empty realization
of a sentiment, for they would be satisfied
with the result Of emancipation alone. But
1t happens that the endowment Of the blacks
with these rights has added TO the political
strength Of the South in the councils Of the
nation, and the political terrorism of which
we speak results in an unjust increase of
Southern or Democratic power exactly In
the ratio of that added strength. This is
where tho shoe pinches in sectional point
of view, and the game has been played by
the Southern Democrats to such an outrage
Gus extent that the North has been aroused
to the necessity of recovering all that 1t has
lost by submitting, under q mistaken idea
of Liberalism aud Cancellation, to the empty
realization of its Abolition sentiment. There
can be but one of two ends to this contro-
versy, now that 1t has fairly begun: Either
the blacks must be disfranchised, which Is
not probable, or they must be permitted to
vote as they may select to do, free from
bull-dozing and prescription.

THE SOUTHERN POLICY.

The Chicago Tribune, which is not regarded
as stalwart Republican journal, takes the
following view Of the Presidents present at
titude toward the crimes of the South
1t will be observed with feeling Of regret
in some quarters and indignation In others
that the President Is inclined to temporizo in
the matter of the Southern policy, and that,
having spoken few bold words that implied
his determination to act. he is now disposed to
break tho force Of his declaration by expana.
tions that give him the appearance, at least, OF
shilly.sballying. If the President is to be
blown about by every wind, aud is afraid of
his words after he has spoken them. he might
as well abandon any theory or policy and give
the southern Bourbons FREQ rein, for that must
be the ultimate effect OF his temporizing. He
might as well say to tho white aud black Re-
publicans of the South: "rhe Governmen,

more regard than we now have for such ex-
pressious Of magnanimity aud patriotism as
those Of Brother WArrERsoS's speech. Give
us substantial evidences, rather than words,
