The Democrats of the South can not houorably or consistently, con done outrages of any kind. ' They have manfully resisted all attempts to corrupt the ballot. For years tbey have denounced in the most unquali fied terms all efforts on the part of Radicals to violate the freedom of elections and to stuff the .ballot-box. They cannot now, without manifest, palpable, certain disgrace,1 wink at or excuse any violations of election taws, or any resort to force or intimi dation. The Democratic party is pledged solemnly to keep pure the ballot, and to oppose every icma aiiu degree ot bull-dozing. ir macnej, yi South Carolina, was elected, he is en- titled to his seat. He is a corrupt knave, but it is for the House to de termine who shall hold seats in that body. He ought to be returned as elected if he really received a major ity of the votes, as is claimed. The Philadelphia gimes says, and,it must be agreed, lidiOliUle point: "It is no excuse fpr;tGe violence and tis sue ballots which seem; to have been em ployed to defeat him,, that the carpet-baggers did the same thing, only more so when they had the power in the same district. Two wroogs can't make a right, and of the .... . .,..i:.ir. nffantini. ttlA. FlamnArata o m the least excusable. They have iBtelligence I in the South, and claim to be honest; the I carpet-baggers were adventurers and thieves, and claimed no respect from the world; and candid citizens of all sections will rejoice to see the laws honestly and fearlessly I enforced wherever j they have been violated in the reconstructed States." That is evidpntlv- the correct view. I 1 . - l: I and every honest man in the South I must condemn any violations of the rights of f reemen as well as the laws of the land. Fair-play is, the only real ground to take. other will recoil inevitaDiv upon vnose wno iry it. ine ooutn nas everytning w lose in any game but a ; thoroughly I honest one. i cost. That is our plain duty. It appears to be difficult to get at the bottom facts about South Caroli na. The charge is made and repeated time ana again tnat tissue Dauois i . i .11 ji i were widely used, and that a large number of illegal votes was polldd. . The New York Tribune as usdltl is making wholesale charges, but po, one will! believe or ought to' believe any statement it' may make. It can not tell the f truth about the South. I We have no confidence in the state- I ments o such scoundrels as Maekey, Lee and Swails, or in Bohemian cor- respondents of lying papers. The courts are open, and it will be a, good thin sr for the countrv and for the c i ..,; Democratic party if an investigation is made into the truth or falsity of I . " " i - tii.- sucn reppns or cuargus. xuo putibj aricl freedom of the ballot are of the first importance in a government like ours, as we have said time and again.

I held in the North, vet. if in North Carolina, or any other State, a colored man was cheated out of his vote, in anv way. a most foul wrong was committed, and one which must result disastrously to the whole country, 'ine colored man has the same right to vote : as the white man. and it is the duty of every white man to see to it that this right of the colored man is not interfered with.
