THE TALK in some northern republican
and 30 called independent journals about
State troops being called out in the South to
interfere with the execution of the federal
election bill, if that bill shall become a law,
has no other foundation than the Imagination
of those who utter it, as is we'll known to
everybody at all informed concerning the
true condition of affairs in the South. I'm
petous individuals, outraged by the manner
in which that sectional and partisan law
may be executed, may vent their rage on
individual executors OF the law, but no
southern State is now in condition to al
tempt forcible opposition to law OF Cot
yress, or would dream OF suoh thing,
however Infamous that law might be.
The South may protest, but that will be the
extent to which any of her States will OF
pose the execution of any federal law. She
would not do SO even with the promise OF
the assistance of the democrats Of the North,
for che has learned by sad experience the
utter worthlessness of such promists.

South, if such a thing were possible, was
adopted As the call was in progress the
greatest interest WAS manifested on both
