TALKS FOR THE TINES.
Views OF seuator Butler and Congressman
Evins.

Senator ". {. Butler ia Edycdeld .4d,rrtiter.
The horrible crime committed by q
Republican upon a Republican. within
the Repu blicau. ranks, i'll the adjustment
OF u party difficulty must have shocked
the public mind 10 such u degree as TO
bring out more conspicuously what
many OF us have always urged. that tho
Republican party as now organized and
led, is unfit TO govern this country, GER
tainly unfit 10 govern il in time ofpeace.
II / am correct In this. then the country
m,.,t look To the Democratic party.
Whether il will prove equal Ia the emer-
gency depends upon the Democratic
party itself bolieve it viii.
The "Stalwartism' that cOmpaSsed
and effected the Presidents assassination
is Nihilism in another form. 1t dcvolvcs
upon the Democratic party and the Con-
servative forces Of all parties. TO admin
lister To 'Stalwartism' lesson that II
will not forget.
do not sec that the South can suffer
more IN this crisis than other sections OF
the ecountry-not SO much indeed. There
is less 'Stalwart;sm" within her borders.
She loves order. is moro law abiding
than the North, more conservative, less
inclined TO political aud social comiuo-
ton. more loyal 10 Republican institu-
tions. Sho abliors the assassination Of
will go as far rs any to punish the per-
petratCrs OF the crime.
The South has only to keep cool, pre-
serve order, and she will be an impOr-
tant and indispensable factor in bringing
the government unimpaired through
what may become trying ordeal.
bave no reason to conclude that Mr..
Arthur will not administer the govern
ment with fidelity. He lacks experience
in public affairs, but if he does not sur
round himself with bad influences, he
will have no trouble. 1 cannot conceive
| why tho South shcui,. have reason to
feel special anxiety on his account.
Congressman Erins in Washington Post.
Congressman John II. Evins. of South
Carolina, was found at the Grand Hotel,
New York, this morning having just
| returned from the funeral Of President
Garfield. Speaking of politics in South
Carolina. ho said everything was at Il
standstill in that section of tho country,
politics being hardly considered by the
majority of the people. IN regard to TIE
question of Prohibition in North Carroll
ma they had nothing TO say and took nO
interest in the matter.
will President Arthur be favorably
received ?"
"Of course he would not be the choice
Of the people, but thoy must submit to
him. / thirk the people-at least /
speak for South Carolina-will not pre-
judge him or the policy which he may
pursue, as no one is able to say what tina,
policy will be. 1t does seem that lie
intends to hold his own. and that new
Cabinet will be formed"
You have just returned from Ohio
what is the outlook there in regard tC
Book walter aud Foster?"
II spent several days i'll the State and
OF course had several conversations with
representatives cf both parties. The peo
pie seemed to be much divided in their
opinion i'll regard to the Governorship
Nobody could say how the contest Will
end. but there is no doubt the fight will
be sharp one. The feeling in regard &c
the Presidents death is very strong bu
now that Arthur has become President
the political aspect on the Republican
side Is greatly changed. 10 one can tel
what may turn up in the next few
days"
