The Republicans will be forced to
break the dead-lock enough to tranl
important V public r business,
vv nose victory will that be? Not
the le publicans, surely. For nearly
i wo months they have, been .resisting
all attempts to go. into i executive
srtssioin. T The sense and judgment of
the whole country revoke at their
untenable and corrupt attitude. They
m.iy determine to stand by Southern
liepiidiationists.to the last extremity,
but such an attitude will do them no
good: in the North among honest,
reflecting " people.,; A j harder ' fight
will have to be made in the South in
consequence of the Radical alliance
with Southern Repudiationists, but
thatfw all.; sThat moment the whole
South pees and understands that the
Uepublicao : Administration I and its
friends are endeavoring to break
down the rule of the true people, of
the jSoath, and this means full,

the
full
old corrupt order of things a

robbed, abused, persecuted and : de

The news from French operations
in North Africa indicate not only
progress but absorption. It is.some
thing to be observed how readily the
great European Powers can trump
up an excuse for hostilities against a
weak Power, and hostilities once be-
gun now
creases in
rapidly the situation in
interest 'necessitating still
more decided measures, until it is an
nounced finally that it has become
imperatively necessary that the terri
tory of the enemy should be seized

been going on in Europe all through.6 f
i
be centuries. The States have no
more conscience now about gobbling
up other people's property than the
nations of a past age had. The only
restraints seem to be that unknown
quantity described as "the balance of
power." '
The French have some sort of
excuse for making some sort of de
mands upon Tunis, and the first thing
ihe telegraph - brings us is an inva
ioo, then rapid advance. The sequel
f the matter will be absorption-
conquest, and the Great Powers will
look on and say well done,' uriless
France, perchance, should be trench
ing upon the preserves of some'other
Power.' ; ;;; ' ' .;;" ; ; ; ;;; ";
Of course open absorption will not
be the game at the first. The terri
tory will be overrun, then held for
porno excuse, and afterwards Tunis
will disappear from the maps, save
only as a French appendage. Algiers
and Tunis may nnite hereafter. The
Philadelphia
American has
this
view :
: It is quite possible, indeed, that Italy
and Turkey will exert inflaence enoaeb to
prevent either step. - Italy owes Tunis her
support, as it was the terms of her com
mercial treaty with 'Tunis' which first
prompted tbe war. Sooner than see the
French swaHow-TuniCHnlbts summary
Way, tbe Italians have driven- the party of
the Left from power as a punishment for
their indifference, and have puttbe control
of affairs into tbe band a of the Right, who
have' been in opposition almost ever since
the death Of: CavoUrT- AttS Turkey proba
bly will insist that one suzerain the Saltan,
to wit Is abbnt ar much' as Tunis can
bear. - r cxi; c- ib'p-.u
I Possibiy other Po wers may say to
France if you take Tunis we shall
seize Tripoli or other portions of
Africa, j We may have again the old
game of partitioning desirable territo
ry among grasping States; The cause
for the present' Frenoh war is very.
slim, we judge. The American says:
'Whether the people of these -two States
are civilized or barbarous thev have a risht
to their autonomy, since they oppress no
one at uome ana occasion no danger to
their neighbors. 1 A war on - Tunis on
such flimsy pretences as France puts for
ward is in no Bense -parallel to the wars for
the expulsion of the. Turks from Eoropei
In neither country ia there a Christian ma
jority living under. Moslem rule. In both,
as throughout all the Barbary States.Chris-
tianity has been ' exterminated for over a
millennium. And there"- is room to doubt
whether civilized countries, render any real
service toi others less civilized by snch in
vasions as mis." . , . .

the purposes of a warlike power, es

But Butler's speech was good and
effective. The Stalwarts .will ' come
back heavily about tissue ballots and
intimidation in South Carolina. That
will be the weak place in Butler's ar
mor. w hen a : charge is made ana
sustained, that there is a corrupt alli
ance i between Mahone and the Re
publicans, the answer of the Stal
warts, , all clad - in their red shirts
freshly dipped iin ."sanguinary gore,"
is, "You South Carolinians know you
bulldozed ' . the colored voters and
stuffed the ballots." When the dis
franchisement of one hundred and
fifty thousand voters in Massachu
setts, Connecticut and Bhode Island
is established by irrefragable evi
dence, the answer is, "You know you
have no free .ballot in the South and:
the negroes have no rights!" '
It is thus they dodge the issue, and
pull the wool over the eyes of the
Northern people. Instead of . re
moving he inequalities, - injustices
and iliegalUties in their own State;
instead of curing the evils of a re
stricted ballot at home, they prefer
to go out on a crusade against others.

the world believe that they are mar
vellously proper fellows themselves
whilst it is only their Southern neigh
bors, out of Tvhose labor they are
growing rich all the time, who are
the guilty ones and, need the curry
ing and curing of the very paternal,
hand of a Republican Administration.
The Stab has never condoned any
wrongs against freemen .and a free
ballot that have been perpetrated in
the South, whether in North or South
Carolina, or elsewhere. It has insist
ed that the safety of the people and
the perpetuity of free institutions' de
pend on a pure, "-. free ballot . and an
honest count. It has said many times
that the frauds of 1876-77 in the
matter of the Louisiana" and Florida
oount, and the bare-faced corruption
of the Electoral Commission,together
with illegalities and frauds in South
ern States and in many Northern
States, if -repeated or persisted in,
would end in mm. And so " it will,
and he who would jdeny it is beside

; How can any free country stand
the disfranchising of citizens as ' in
New England; the bulldozing as prac
ticed under Radical methods in New;
York and Philadelphia; the schemes
by which ten thousand illegal voters,
mostly negroes, were hurried into In
diana' and Ohio ? If these things
continue where will they end? Can
