South Carolina, last on tho list, Is ex

edgo of tho weaker sldo of liumuu na

himself arraigned In tho courts for bri

Theso ovonls,shameful to freo instltu
tions, nnd disgraceful to all concerned
havo sprung from causes which aro now
happily fading away. Tho political ad
venturers who swnrmed llko locusts
upon tho Southern communities at tho
closo of tho wnr havo fulfilled their
mission, and tho day for their tolora
lion is past. For years they woro sus-
talued by tho National Government
and tho voice of tho North, becauso they
wero tho conservators of tho peaco and
tho protectors of tho negro. Thoso
duties nro no longer necessary. Sec
tional animosities, prejudices against
raco, and disloyalty to tho Union aro
being discarded by tho Southern peo
plo, if only to rid themselves of a rulo
that cats up their substanco and de
stroys their political liDcrty. Tho War
mouths and tho Moseses moy havo
forced this political revolution, but it Is
no palliation of their oxcesses to say
that thoy fought tho battlo for negro
suffrage and civil rights. Tho day hns
como for their extinction. With It will
disappenr tho nnarchy they havo
evoked.
Tho Administration has an extremely
dclicato task, but an imporativo duty
to perform in this crisis. Now is tho
tlmo for a complete and lasting recon
dilation. It will not hazard Itopubli
can supremacy, but strengthen it, to
crush out tho robbers who claim to lead
Its columns at tho South. It will, with
tho downfall of Warraouth and others
of his stripe, win tho confidence of our
fellow-cltizen3 there that aro sincere in
their professions of friendship for tho
negroand of loyalty tothoUnlon.anddo

nnd npt phrases that fell from tho lips
of orators In tho last campaign' Of

0 A Itemarkable Case.
A very unusual and wonderful pho
nomonon was found within tho body of
wnunm Mlllaur, aged about nineteen
years, son of Mr, Jo3cph Mlllaur, of
oeclarvlllo, North Coventry township,
Chester county, who died on Monday
morning, Decembor 0. The deceased
had been ailllcted for several years with
curvature of tho spine, enlarged spleen
and liver. Ascltcs.or abdominaldropsy ,
set in about eight months ago, as tho
result of tho enlargomont of tho llvor
and spleen, Interfering with tho proper
functions of thobody.gradually increas
ing until his death.
Tho caso was undor charge of sovoral
physicians of this vicinity ,stnco ho was
first afflicted. Dr. J. Davis, who has
been his attenditig physician for sovoral
months past, performed a post mortem
examination on Wednesday last, in tho
presence orsoveral persons, and, strango
to relnto, after having drawn about
eight gallonsof dark colored serous fl uid
from tho abdomen, found that tho llvor.
spleen, kidneys, stomach and bowels
wero completely absorbed, without
leaving any portion of them remaining
nothing being found in tho abdomen
but a portion of tho omentum and tho
serous fluid. How long .this had boon
tho caso wo aro unablo to say, but cer
tainly it could not havo boeu loutr.
Jbttstoicn Ledger.
That tho Constitutional Convontion
will amend tho libel laws, is, wo tako it.
absolutely cortain. Tho statutes on this
subject nro illiberal, unjust, and un-
worthy of tho ago wo llvo in. Their
effect Is seen In tho dwarfed indopon
deuco and enlorpriso of tho press of tho
Stato and tho Immunity from public
contempt and punishment or its Incom
petent and dishonest officials. Sugges
tions in tho mattor como to us by tho
scoro; but what Is needed is a chnngo
that will admit tho truth of tho nllegod
libel to bo presented to tho jury, and
such other ovidenco as will show that
tho publication was from good motives
and JustlQablo onds. This Is tho law of
New York and should bo of Pennsyl
vania. In Germany, when tho voto of tlio
Jury stands six against six tho prisoner
Is acquitted. A voto of seven against
tlvo leaves tho decision to tho Court,
and In a voto of eight against, four tho
prisoner is convicted.
"Moling tlio Crops."
Thero Is tho smack of an nnclont nnd
familiar llavor in ono portion of Secro
tary Boutwcll's report, to wlt,tholcarn
od nnd laborious parogroph which ro
laics to tho crops and their transports
tlon. Tho secretary's idea Is Hint thoro
should bo grent flexibility in tho cur
roncy, nnd that tho power to tlghton or
loosen should rcslda In his hands, and
this Is his way of putting It:
'Thero Is ii necessity ovcry uuttiinn
for moving tho crops without delay
from tho south and west to tho seaboard,
that they may bo in hand for export
und consumption ns wanted. Tills work
should ho dono in tlio main boforo tho
lakes, rivers and canals nro closed, nnd
yot It cannot bo dono without tlio uso of
lnrgo nmounts of currency. In tho sum
mer months funds nccumulnto nt tho
centres, but tho rcnownl of business in
August nnd September gives omploy
mout for largo sums nnd leaves littlo or
nothing for forwnrding tho crops in
October or November. Nor would this
difficulty bo obviated by a permanent
iucrcaso or u permanent reduction of
tho volumo of currency. Tho difficulty
Is duo to tho natural order of things,
and increases with tho prosperity of tho
country, ns shown In tho nbundanco of
its harvests. Tlio crops cannotbo moved
goncrally by tho aid of bank balances,
checks, and letters of credit, but only by
bank notes nnd United States notes paid
nt onco to tho producers. This money
finds its wny into tho channels of trado
nnd to tho commorcial contrcs, but if It
bo nllowcd to romaln for goncral uso
after tho reason for Its Issuo lias ceased,
tho volumo of currency would bo in
creased permanently, nnd tho year fol
lowing tho same process would bo re
peated with tho samo results, and thus
would tho country depart moro and
moro widely from tho policy of resump
tion. Tho problem Is to find a way of
increasing tho currency for moving tho
crops and diminishing it at onco when
tho work is done. This is n necessary
work, and inasmuch ns it cannot bo con
lined to tlio banks, whero but in tho
treasury department can tho power bo
reposed? '
This hath tho sound of wisdom. It
recks with political economy. But thoro
is somohow a familiar tasto about it.
Crops! Crops! Moving tho crops! It
carries us back ou memory's wings, so
to speak. In n dreamy way wo catch
tho dull roar of a long-gono strugglo of
bulls and boars through tho mist wo
see a groat tanglo and snarl of men in
Wall street, with ono broker gono mad
and sovoral gono up, with gold at 1G0
and Flsk and Gould nnd Abel R. Corblu
regulating the monoy markot so as to
movo tho crops." Ah yes, wo havo it
Mr. Boutwcll is nn impressible man
This Is tho Idea of Mr. Ablo R, Corbin
that grcat'and good political economist
who felt himself called upon by his re
latlonship to the President in Septcm
ber, 18G9, to tako hold and movo tho
crops.
ICS, that Is it. wo knew wo recog,
nlzed the flavor. Mr. Corbin had an
editorial article in tho Times on the 25 th
of August, 1SG9, broaching thi3 vlow,
Ho impressed Mr. Jay Gould with it,
In answer to tho Inquiry of somo official
persons In January, 1870, Mr. Corbin
said :
'Whiloat homo Mr. Gould used to
call at my houso occasionally : and as I
had heard that ho was a Wall street
operator I always Improved tho oppor
tunlty to talk to him. I look advan
tago or every occasion to Impress upon
him what I thought was a vital point
and that was to let tho farmers and mo
chanics and manufacturers havo good
prices for thoir productions. I was Im
pressed with tho idoa that gold should
bo high, if wo would havo good prices
for tho crops; and as ho was engaged
in tho management of a railroad which
was very much stigmatized, I told him
I thought that tho truo road to popular!
ty lay through tho fiold of usefulness,
and I think so now. If tho crops brought
but low prices wo could not ship them
with profit. That was enforced again
and again, I insisting that gold ought
to bo high in order to movo tho crops
Mr. Gould concurred in all that, and
gavo mo a good many reasons hlmsolf.
Ho talked to mo much on tho subject of
gold."
Mr. Gould was impressed. Ho impress
cd Mr. James Flsk, Jr. Tho two im
pressed President Grant; and thoPresb
dont with tho aid of Fisk and Gould
and Corbin Impressed Mr. Boutwcll.
And when Mr. Boutwell grasps an idea
ho holds on to it. Ah, it's a grand con
ception there's financiering, andstatos
manship and monoy In it this theory
of tho flexibility and elasticity of tho
currency, giving tho secretary of tho
treasury power to pinch tho businoss
interest of the country whon ho thinks
thoy will bear pinching, and to expand
tno currency as In his Judgmout It may
bo expedient whenever it is necessary
to move tlio crops. Thoflr3t experiment
in behalf of tho crop3 was not n con-
splcuous success ; but tho theory is a
flno ono, and If Mr. Boutwell sticks to
it ho will havo a splendid opportunity
to raako something handsomo out of it.
But tho credit of it Is Corbln's. N. Y.

us would rather rosorvo tho right to do

oloction of such u man as John J. Pat

Carolina hns sinned grevlously against
tho Union nnd grovlously lias uho been

such ns to warrant tho imposition of
such Hhnmn nnd Ignominy as tho elec
tion of Mr. Patterson to tho Senate In
tho days or our bitterest anger wo could
not havo wished to visit upon her such
unmitigated disgrace."
Moro Trouble.
Wo have boon anticipating legal nnd
political difficulties in Arkansas, ond
thoy havo como ton head. A gentleman
who was a candldaio on thoLlboral Stnto
ticket has applied to tho United Stales
Circuit Court for an injunction to pro
vent certain persons claiming nn elec
tion on tlio Republican Btnto tickot
from exorcising tho duties of tho offices
to which thoy claim to bo elected. Tho
Courtis also nskod to conipol Acting
Gov. Ilndloy nnd others to deposit in
tho custody of tho Court nil origlnnl
election returns nnd documents thoro
with connected. Tho complaint further
charges tho Governor nnd canvass! ng
Board with depriving niutiy persons of
their right to voto, nnd or nltcrlng tho
roturns nftor thoy woro tnado up. Tho
proceedings nro ponding, nnd It will bo
sovoral days beforo n decision can bo
reached.
This caso, asitstands in tho Court, is
almost nn oxnet reproduction or Hint in
Louisiana. Outsldo of tho Court It has
thoso differences: (1.) Tho Louisiana
suits woro In tho interest of tho Admin
istratlon ; but tho Arkansas suit Is for
tho othor sldo. (2.) Thero was less
reason for complaint by tho Kellogg
party In Louisiana than thoro Is for tho
Brooks or Liberal party In Arkansas,
In Louisiana it was sot up that tho Ro
publicans would havo been elected
iu.uuu moro colored people had been
nuoweu to voto. Ju Arkansas It is
claimed that tho Liberals wero actually
elected, tho returns being falsllled nnd
mnny precincts having boon thrown
out. in Louisiana It is charged that
oxacuy lu.uuu colored Hepubllcan voters
woro refused registration and tho rlcht
of suffrage In Arkansas it is alleged
that Liberals who wont to tho polls
with certificates of registration in thel
hands woro deprived or t ho right to voto
and wero told that their names woro
not on tlio poll-books. Theso dlsfran
chised men improvised polling-places
and cost many thousand votes. But
aside from theso, it is claimed that tho
Liberal tickot was elected by n fair ma
jority.
it is proposed to resort to tlio oxtra
ordinary and (possibly) unconstilution
ai provisions of tho Enforcement Act
to provont tho declaration of tho Ar
kansas voto in favor of tho Republicans
Whon this was dono in Louisiana, it
was said in The Tribune that such n pro
reeding wa3 clearly nt vnrinnco with
tho commonest principles of right and
justice This is no io33 truo of tho at
tempt in Arknnsns. Whiio nntccodont
circumstances in this last-named Stato
may scorn to bo moro nggrnvntlng to
tho Liberals than any which tho Louis
inna Republicans suffered, it is truo
that tho samo regular legal remedy is
oponinboth cases. Equity demands
that conclusions should bo tried who n
tho person obtaining tho ccrtiflcato of

snouiu navo compolled McEnery tt
show his warrant for holding tho Gov

claimed to act as Governor ; tho Ar

anticipatory proceedings under the
revolutionary Enforcement Act aro n

wntchfortho issue in Arknnsas; tho
Louisiana caso furnishes a bad and
violent precedont; but all conscientious
and thoughtful peoplo will justify only
that course which follows tho custom
ary processes of law and leaves tho Issue
