DOMESTIC NEWS.
Republican Outlook in The south-sice
state of Affairs.
CHICAGO, July 11th.-The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: The Attorney
General, speaking of the accounts received of
the status of the Republican party in the
South, says that they do not harmonize with
the information he has received through the
officers of his department. He believes that
it is the determination of the Democratic
leaders there not to permit the Republicans
to organize, nor to conduct an active cam
paign in any Of the States of the South, ex.
cept Virginia. In the latter State, he says,
local political issues will afford Republicans
an opportunity to take part in the campaign
but there is no use Disgusting the fact that in
other States the Democrats, by their usual
schemes of intimidation and violence, pro.
pose to have clear field. He does not ex-
pect to be able to appoint any Marshals of
elections in those States, for notice has been
served that any one accepting such an ap-
pointment will do SO at his peril. The
Democrats, therefore, are thus early
preparing way for a solid South
in support of their nominee, and the
law officer of the Government admits himself
absolutely powerless to enforce the election
laws in at least ten States, in some of which
there is an admitted Republican majority, on
account of the combination of partisan lead
ers to override the political rights of citizens
who differ with them in opinion. The Gov
eminent sees no way to assert its authority
in the absence of an active public sentiment
in its support, and therefore in the coming
election will be compelled to see the laws
trampled under foot with impunity and the
mockery of an election enacted unrebuked
and unchastised, unless an outraged public
sentiment in the free North should hurl this
party of rebellion and disobedience of law
into oblivion by the supreme power and ma
! jesty of the people, who are above and su-
perior to the control of the agencies which
manipulate and shape Southern politics.
