A press dispatch from Charleston gives tha purport of an address to the people of the United States just Iissued by prominent residents of that city, ropresonting that there 18 no foundation for the reports circulated throughout of outrages committed by Bouth Carolina Dewmocrats upon colored and white Republicans, It is stated that tho uddross is signed by the President of tho ‘Charleston Bourd of ‘Trado, by tho Bishops of the Catho- lio, Episcopsl, und Methodist churches, by leadivg clorgymen of the Presbyterian, Buplist, Lutheran, and Jewish denomina.

According to this address, o monstrous fraud has beon-practiced upon tho credulity of the cntira country; the Hamburg butchery novor occurred ; tho El. lenton atrocity is a myth ; Republican meet- ings linva never heen brokenup by armed bodies of Democrats ; .colored Ropublicans bave not been intimidated Ly violence porformed and threntoned ; social and com- mercial ostracism hnve not been deerced agninst white Republicans, Eithor thisis im. possible, and false,or else tho Bishops, priests, and rabbis, the bankers and business men of Charleston have stated what is not true. Eithor the nowspapers of the North have published false roports manufactured out of wholo elath, or clso the newspaper of Charles- ton, upon whose columus the signers of the nddress seem to rely exclusivoly for their in- formation, have suppressed tho truth when it could not bo distorted. All the Bishops and bankers {n the universe could not over- come the settled conviction that this ddress 1hins been issued for political effect, and that it denies what is true. THE SULLIVAN TRIAL AND JUDOE AL ASTER. From the beginning to the closo of the trial of AzexaNDER SULLIVAN for the murder of Mr, IHaxrorp, we have studiously re- frained from making comment. While the Court tolerated, under ils very oyes and within its jmmodinte personal control, the presence aud pressure of a mob of factions claquers in the interest of the prisoner, there s been not a word on behalf of justice and the people excopt the bald presentation of the undouied fact of the ILilling which the Conrt ndnitted. Even now that the jury has disagreed, wo havo o disposition to try Svr. LIVAN, either to convict or ncquit him of the crime for which he was arraigned. Wo atill leave that to the law and the persons whom the people have selected to admiuister it, But public sentiment is entitled to a frank expression of the wide-sprend indignation which i8 felt at Judge McALusTER for his conduct of tho case. It is not too much to ssy that he has been Suttavaw's most cllicient counsel, In point of fact SurLrivays sclected the Judge to try him, by swearing that nowua of the other seven Judges would give him n fair trial, but were prejudiced against him, not a word of which is true, whether Surrivay thought so or not. Having thus picked out the Judge to try him, his Judge practically picked the jury, aud afterwards managed tha case in the prisoner’s behalf, lotting in testi- mony for the defense, excluding testimony for the Btate, ruling in the most astonishing manner, trampling statute law under foot, disregarding decisions of the Supreme Court, and finally charging the jury ina way that was tantamount to instructions to sequit. "Ihis is the impression left on our mind from o caveful perusal and study of the published proceedings, rulings, and testimony. ‘We do not charge or believe that he has been inflnenced corruptly to take this un. precedented course; we do not know his motives or purposes ; wo simply sum up the resultof bisrulings, instructions, and conduct on tho beneh, 1. 'I'wo of Sorrivan'afriends,whemusthave cither ensy consciences or clairvoynnt menns for determining, swore that MeAriwren alone, of the eight Judges competent to sit, could give the accused o fair trinl. The counsel for the People was helpless: the Iaw enables an nceused person to select his Judge after this fashion, and provides no menus for the Peoplo to tako a chango of venue. But a fair Judge, knowing in hiy own heart that this assertion was false and slanderoys on his brother Judges, and feeling the dangerous influenco of sympathy or favor. itinin ou irs own port, would have declined to nceept wo grave a respousibility under suteh suspicious circumstances. Ibwasa very dilferentmatter from takinga chango of venuo to the court of some other county; it was tha choice of the accusoed for this particular Judge and no other. The result proved that hie was not mistaken in hi slection. 2, Judgo McArnistes showed his birs in favor of {he prisouer at the very start, and . notably in his rulings about the quatifieation of jurors, The Constitution of the State simply reqnires that the nccused shall Lo tried Ly ““an @mpartial jury.” ‘Thero is o stntnte mnde expressly to protect the peoplo from igmorant, depraved, and corrapt jurles, in which there is tho following provision : Provided, "hat it shall not be & cause of chal- lenge that 8 Juror hus read In the newspapers an sccount of the commissionof the crime with which tho prisoner s charged, I such juror shall state, on oath, that he belioves he can render an fnpar- il verdiet, aecording to the Iaw and the evidenca; and provided, furthior, that, in the trlal of any crlminal cauxe, the fuct thate person catled as ¢« Jurer has formed an oplnlon or impression, based UpON FUIMOF OF upoh newspaper statements (ubout the truth of which he ina exprevsed no oplnlon), shisll not disquality Bim to werve nu o Juror 1 such cun, {0 he slnll upon oath state that he belleves he can falrly ond fmportially render o vordict thercti, in accordance with the law and the evi- dence, and tht Court shall by satlsded of tho truth of wuch statement, This statute hos Leon passed upon by the Bupreme Court, and jurors selected thereun.: der accepted g4 competent. Judge MeAr- zasTeR repudinted and ignored it by ex- cluding every jurymon who adwitted to an jmpression or opinion (and what intelligent, readiug man iu this community bad not formed ono about this case?) cven when swearing that it should not influenco his esti- mate of the evidence; and men wero rojoet- ed by the scoro about whoso fairness, up- rightuess, impartiality, and intelligonce thers wus no reasonablo doubt, until o jury entire. 1y satisfactory to tho defenso was secured, 8. From tho very opening of the trinl Judge McArnuiaTrs improssed upon the jury bis beliof that the acoused ought to be ac. quitted, or at any rate left no doubt in the wind of nuybody that ko (MoArristen) wanted him acquitted. He bullied the coun- wel for tho people. *‘ You cau't have it all your own way,"” ho enid to them once, when thoy had had nothing their own way. ¢ hey applauded your slde,"” ho said sgainto them when they romonstrated at the mob's unseemly oheering oud clapping one of his own astonishing decisions, leaving tho inforence that Als «fide wos the prisoner's, Iis sntagonisin (o the People’a couusel was so warked that the attorneys for the prisoner presumed upon it, and one of them (0'Buiex) was indiscroct enough at one point of the proceedings to say to the Btato's Attorney: * Oh, the Court is sgainst you," and to his associate (BWeTr), *‘HIT DOWN, YOUNG MAN, AND LET MK GO ON WITH Tills WITNESS; THE Counr 18 TAEING cAE oF Us." ‘This was ovi- dont enough, but it was hardihood and pre- sumptious to boast of it. During the entire trial the wob in the court-room (said to have been composed mainly of the former stipen. Qlarles of tho Board of Public Works, with whicli SuLnivay was associnted), hooted and stamped in joy at every ruliug in favor of the prisoncr, and hissed in rago and malig- nity whonever the attornoys of tho People insisted on justice and the Inw, Judge Mc- AtisTER made not o singlo offective effort to check this mob, Once he mildly sug- gested that it was * improper,” and nnother time ho snid ho waa *f helpless,” thongh it ‘w8 within his provinco and power at any momont to clear the court-room of all ex- cept thosa engnged in tho trinl. In this way, whilo the publio outside was outrnged at the prostitution of justice, he permitted the mob inside to impresa the jury with the DLelief that the public sympathy waa all with the Judge and the prisoner. 4. Indetermining the evidence, ho gove the defenso the widest Intitude, He allowed the prisoner's counsel to slander and vilily the cbaracter of the murdered man, Io permitted SuLLivax to make a stump speech to the jury and browbeat the State's Attornoy in romething like tho same passion in which Lo kitlod Hasroro, Mo admitted. the ovi- denco of Sunuivan and his relatives as to Hanrorn's having struck Mrs, Svnrivan, All thismight have been proper enough if ho lhad extended the aame Iatitude to the prosc- cution, No one desired that any circum- stances favorablo to Surrivay should be sup- prossed ; but MoAruisTen, not content with this, put the screws on the prosecution, and exeluded tho witnesses called by the pros- ccution to rebut the testimony in regard to tho infamous assault on Haxronn's charac- ter, and the blow alloged to have Leen re- ceived by Mrs, SuttivaN. Tho murdered 1man's wife, who witnessed the affair, was not permitied to contradict the murdorer and his Lrother on this point, 6. But it was in his instructions to the jury that McAruisTir execeded all his former portiality for the prisoner. It is the law thint tho jury mny conviet of manslaughter ina trinl for murder. In one of his mstructions State's-Attornoy Reep copied the statute de- fining murder, and also the statuto deflning mnnslaughter, with an instruction that, if the jury found the deceased not guilty of murder, but guilty of mauslaughter as de- fined Dy the atatuto, they could nnd should bring in a verdict of manslaughtor. AoAr~ LI1sTER refuscd to give this instruction] Sub- sequontly the jury, of its own motion, de- manded a copy of the statutes, and MoAr- uisTen likewiso refused this, though tho statute provides that the jury shnll bo tho judgo of both the law and the facts, Again, McArusTER instructed tho jury that *a citizen has a right to carry about his person a loaded pistol for a lawful purpose, and the protection of one's person from an unlawful attack is alawful purposo™; and also, fur- ther on, that if the jury believed *tho cir- cumstauce of his laviug o pistol with him was #olely owing to the practice and habit of carrying it, then the jury should dismiss from the case tho iden of previous malice.” These two instructious, taken together, mean that the habitual carrying of a conceal- ed dendly weapon, which is an indietable offense under tho statute (Chap. 38, Scc. 50, Criminnl Code), so far from being a vio- lation of law, is evidence of a lack of malice when the owner of the woapon shoots and Lills! Coming from a Judge on the bencl, such advico, dealt out to the ruflians and bullies of this great city, as well as tho SuLLivaX jury, i5 8 mennce to the safety of socioty. As to the Inw of sclf-defenso, Alc- Avngten's first instruction was so vague that tho jury asked for furthor light on tho subject, and ho then instructed them that it waa enough if ¢ the npprelension and fear of danger was apparently well-grounded,” nud subsequently that the prisoncr was the *¢gole judge " of tho situntion. The Stato's Attorney succoeded later in compelling AMe. AvuwTer to modify this instruction go as to mnko it apparont that the prisoner acted as n reasonablo man would act, and not like ono mad with rage or trembling with irreso- Ilntion, This wos important, since Mr. Dusmaxt had testified that he was holding Iasrorp when Sormavan Inocked him down, and had neized Haxronp sgain whon Surrrvay shot him, showing that Buruivan wos in no danger whatovor, and that the weak, feeblo man whom he first attncked, knocked down, and then killed was actually pinioned when he was shot; but the ca. forced modification of this instruction lost all its weight ngainst the balance of instruc- tions in the prisoner’s favor. 'I'ko jury hiave disagreed, and one of those who voted for SULLIVAN'S acquittal has sinco told tho Stnte's Attornoy that hie thought SuLrivay ought to Lo punished, but ho couldn't vote for it undor MoAvLisren's in. structions and rulingy, showing that ho was not left free to judge of the “law and the facty,” o8 the statute roquires. Svrravan is now at liberty, baving Leon bailed in the, small sum of §8,000. We hopo his frionds will adviso him to leave his revolver at home, and not go avound the town demanding rotrac- tions of his critica and shooting them if thoy refuso, As to tho Judge who wrenched him outof the grasp of justice, an indignaut community and lis own conscionca will pass judgment upon hia conduct, In the history of criminnl trinls in Chicngo there has never Leen anything like it. Republicans are saying that be lae any knowlodge of the progress of tha campaign. It Hrwirr had not inclosed him the state. ments of Republicans bigh in authority, Mr. not knowing what hnd defeated him! Tho enrnestnoss, the desporato cmphasis, with student of tho whole business, and fully awaro that, unless ho could decoive tho pub- la by & speciqus promise, his election was hopelessly lost. Wa have alrendy shown that Mr, TiLoey, it clected, will bo confronted by 140 Iepre- senfatives and thirty-two Scnntors of Lis tives of the States and of tho pcople who hold theso claims and who are supyorting TiLpeN in the full pssuranco that they will might have been otherwise given, Ho will be confronted Ly theso Democratic Senntors aud Ropresentatives with a bill ropenling tho tho Unitqd States to any person who had beon engnged in tho Rebellion. 'That is the whole legisintion needed by the South., Tho repenl of that simple prohibition will open the door to the wholo million of Southern claimants, They will ask no other legisla~ tion,—tho existing law providing all that is needed to place thoso claims on an equal footing with the hundred millions of dollars of other claims already paid. In support of that bill, repealing the disloyalty clanse, the Govornors and Logislntures of every Bouthern Stato will petition. Tammany Hnll, which will be moved to Washington with TiLpEN, will support it; all tho Btato-Sovercignty Inwyers in tho United States will approve it ; the Demoeratic ~Congrossional caucug will approvo it; the Democratio party in both branches of Congress will approveit, It will becoma the great measure of tho party, and how cnn Mr, Truoes veto it? Will be, at his ndvanced age, after having intrigued for this offico of Prosident so many years, break with his party at the threshold of his Admin- istration, and becomie another ANorew Jouy- soN—a Presidont without a party? Such a veto, impossiblo against the united support of his party, will be opposed to every prin. siple of political action over asserted by Mr, TruoeN, Tt will be in conflict with his whole political code. He has fully advised himself of tho inability of n Presidont to resiat the power and coercion of his own party ; hehas protected in his independonce by an amond- ment to the Constitution, In his lotter of ncceptance he ridiculed Gov. Ilaves’ promise to make himself independent of party by refusing to bo a candidate for re-election, Thisg, I'1tLoeN claimod, was absurd. No Pres. ident could put his party in Congress at defl- ance. Heroe is what he said : While much may be accomplished by theas moth- ods, it might encourage delusive ecpectations if I withheld here the expression of my contletlon that no reform of tho clvil service in this country will be complete and permanent until fts Chiof Mogis. trate 18 constitutionally disqualified for re-clectlon, experience haring repeatedly expossd the fultilly of ;e{f;!mpwtd reatrictions dy cundidales or kncum- ents. This emphatic assertion of tho fatility of promises made by ez tlidates ns opposod to party discipline and party unity is of itself tho strongest answor to Mr. TiipeN's’ own elovonth-hour promise, that if clected ha will veto tho grent leading mensuro of his Admin. istration. At a previous clectlon, in denying that Mr. Lovcory, if elected, could oxercise any restraint upon his party by tho exerciso of the veto, bio thus 1aid down as the genoral Inw applicable to ali Presidonts electod by porty. In hislotter to Judge Kenr ho used this language: ‘What will Mr. Lincorydo? Can he be expeit.ily a5 Presldent, to understand the etato of thinus in any other sense than that of his own partisan poll- cy? Can ke arold the altempls {o malnlain the power of hla party by the same means which will hace acqulred it 7 Can he emancipate himaclf from the domlinlon of the ldeas, associations, und infly- ences which will have accompanled Alm in his rize to power? Can ho be expected to act In any now directlon with suflicient breadth of view and Qrm- -aves of purposc ¥ ! Can Mr. T'iLDEX ask any higher patriotism for himself than *what he insisted wns im- posuible in any other President? Can he ask the peoplo to give any greater weight to his promise to dofeat theso claims by his veto, when he but a few weoks ago solemuly declared that all sclf-imposed restrictions by candidates woro wholly futile? Mr. TiLpex, it cleeted, will bo eleeted mainly by tho votes of these clnimants, who vote for kim expect- ing thereby to securo payment. To use his own polnted language, ** Can ho emancipato himself from the dominion of the idens, ns- socintions, and influences which will have accompanied him in his riso to power”? ‘What the Amarican people want, in order to be assured that theso claims will not be paid, is not Mr, Trroex's promise to voto tho bills, or thut he will stand alone with a shot. gun to shoot any claimant approaching the ‘Pronsury; but what the people want is an nssurauce from TiLoeN that the Domocratio party, of which ho is tho chiof, will not mako ony chango in the law by which tho existing exclusion of theso Southorn claims shall bo repealed? Mr, TirpEN is but ono man. He admits tho oxistenco of the claims, nod the demnnd for thoir paymeut by the solid vote of his supportors in sixteen States, o admits that snch payment would bank. rupt and destroy the Union. All the pro. toction ho offers is his solitary, unsupported voto. 1le cannot claim the support of a sin. glo Demoarat. This being all ho can futer- poso to defent this calumity, will not the peoplo prefer tho protection not only of Taves, but of the united opublican party, in Congross sud out of it? ‘The election of Hayrsls final and conclusive sgalust these clalms, THE WAR-CLAIM PERIL. Tho lotter of Mr, Truoex on the War-claim business s & vall of despair, It is tho play- ing of his lnst card by a desperato gnmblor— his lost stake, TmpeN has defied public opinion on all other questions; has Liraved out every acensation; but knowing thoe crush- ing, overpowering forco of thispublic enlami. ty, threntened by the great body of his sup- porters in casg,of his election, Lo dared not tako tho risk of silence. Walting until al. most the eve of hix election, and fully con. selous of his dosperato circumstances, ho puts forth this confession that the country is threatened with a calamity, threatened with inevitable inflation, expausion of debt, ropudintion, aud banlruptey, and, confossing that this peril is the work of his own party aud of his frionds, he has put forth this letter, douying any personal complicity in the work, aud solomnly averring that it cleet- ed will curb and control na Prosident the people who have clected bim, Tho fact that such n lettor was necessary isa coufossion that the claims exist, and that thoy will be presented for poyment, nud to avert tho forcoe of that confession ho offers the faint promise that he will opposo such claims, and that, standing alone, he will defy and defeal his own party by tho exerciso of his veto, TrLpEN's affectation of innocent equanimi- ty will hardly pass mustor. Hero is what ho says to Hewirr: I have reccived your lete tor informing mo that Republicans high in uuthority are publicly representing that the South desirca, not without hope, to obtain payment for lossea by tho lato War, and to have provision made for tho Kebol debt and for losses of slavey.” ‘Tho inferenco is that Mr, 'TiLoex is 80 ongroased with his official affairs, aud g0 indifforent os to what is oc- curring in the country, that it is only when Mr. Hewirr writes to hi and tells what the ‘Wa have recountediin another article soms of the instances of Judgo McArvisTen's pal. pnblo bias and unfairncss, We beliovo thero are not a half-a-dozen roputablo lawyors in Olieago, aside from their disinclination u{ opposing o Judgo hefore whom thoy may u any timo be callod to try cases, who would Licsitate to denounce his rulings and conduct on the bonech a4 an outrage on law and justico, It is o matter of little moment to urge that there is no charge of corruption againat him ; it is just as bad for the community that he should remain where heisif ho ii controlled by unjudicinl gonti. mentality, cfeminate sympathies, or uncon- trollable projudices. The same violation of justice may proceed from these causes as from personal corruplion, and the effect on socloty is as pernicious in one caso ss in the other, Thoro is another consideration in this matter.

The registration of Joliot, amounting to nenrly 4,000, would indicnto a population of at lonst 25,000 people, thus making it ono of tho largest citics in the Stato outaido of Chicago, and placing it in the snme category with Peoris, Springfield, and Quiney, which is manifestly absurd. The population of Joliot in 1870 by the United States consus was but 7,268, Making allowanea for growth, 12,000 would be n liberal cstimate for its prosent population, To say that it has o population of 25,000 people is to stato what is ovidently a gross oxaggeration, and yet this is just what the registration indicates. In view of this pal- pable determination of the Democracy to swindlo at tho forticoming elaction, the most uscful thing that the Republicana of Joliet can do is to organizo into vigilance commit. tees, tako tho lists, scrutinize them carefully, and tako measures to purge them of the fraudalent names. If thoy will do this, thoy can undoubtedly take off 2,000 names. Thoy will find them full of repeaters, of alions, and of imported votors. This infamous reg- istration is n sure indication that a villainy is about to be practiced upon the peoplo of. Will County, which no amount of mass-meet- ings or torchlight processions can hinder, Their only salvation is to take the registry lsts and thoronghly expose them. This rogistration hos a useful lesson, not only for the Republicans of Will County, but of Cook County also, Thesame class of mon who produced this result in Jolict are producing it hore. The ssme orders that went ont to that suburban placa to falsify the registry lists bove gono out to our own immediate suburbs, and the Democrats are at work upon their scoundrelly operations, 1f our clubs and ward orgnnizations want to put in active work where it will do the moat good,thoy must watch tho registry lists, oxamine thom, and purify thom. If the Democrnta in Joliot can put in 2,000 frandn- lout votes, how many will they put in in this county, at the Stock-Yards, in Bouth Chica- go, at tho canal stone-quarries, and all along the river? In this les tho real danger, and TRepublicans will not do wisely to shut their oyes to it. Mass-meotings, torchlight pro. cessions, ond general enthusiasm ore all well :mough in thewr way, but they must not be relied upon to achiovo a victory. They can- not save the Republicans from an over- wholming defeat by froud, if this infamous rogistration businessisnot checked. The dan- gerig an alarming one, and should not be estimated too lightly. Deofent is inovitable i this fraudulent registration goes on unchal. longed. ‘Torchlights, stump-specches, har. rahis, and mess.mootings, aro not going to savo the party against the organized villainy of the Democracy, which will precipitate an avalancho of frandulont voteg upon the bal- lot-box unless the Ropublicans organize and commencs ot onco carnest and activo propa- rations to resist it, for the puro, unadulterated, Stato-Sovereign- ty Bourbon, Crtantes O'Coxon.

All wo nosd sny in roply is that Mr. Krutoco is an independont Ropublican who genorally soratohes his tickot, but we have porsonal knowledge that on the 7th of November ho will cost his voto for Hases and Waeeten, Mr. Ketnoaa’s father, who hns alwnys Leon o Democrat, will support Mr. Trunen, und it was probably the old gon- tloman the correspondont hnd reference to. The third name the follow gives is that of L. B.

In 1872 he was tho Liberal and Domocratic candidnto for Congress in the falsohood that ho denounces Gov. Haves. On tho contrary, wo havo renson for beliov- ing that ho holds tho Governor in very high osteom, ns he is personally acquaintod with him, He will probably vote for Tiupex for porty ronsons, but at the same timo fs the 1ast man in Chicngo who would say a harsh or unkind word of his old Obio friend.

THE TILDEN GAINS IN CHICAGO. Some perdon possessing a lively and fertile imagination has writton o communication from this oity to the 8t, Y.ouis Repudlican, which is being extonsively copied into tho columna of the Democratic-Confedorate nowspapers, and commented upon in exul. tant torms by thom, Thg lotter sots forth that the writer finds, upon cxamination, that nearly the entire minss of merchants, baukeis, and business 1men, together with their hookkeopors, clerks, and employes, have deserted the Ropublican pacty and gone over to the support of Tir. peN ' and Ienouicks; that tho ‘“solid men” of Chicago nro nenrly all ‘Iildonités ; that the rovolution here in behalf of the Tammany Hall candidato has swopt all bo. fore it ; and that the friends of llayes and ‘Wizeren will be overtirown and buried out of sight in this city on election day. TFor tho purpose of giving cmphasis to his wild and absurd assortious, ho proceeds to enu- merato his convorta to ‘Tildenism, Ha begina with Frero, Lerres & Co,, who do o busi- noss, ho says, of ¢ thirty millions snnually" (nnd he might have added that four-fifths of their salos are mado to Republican donlers), Heo next declares that ** the membors of the fiem have glicays been Repudlicans(/) snd have used thoir money and thoir influence towards the elootion of Republican nominces herotofore.” We regret boing undoer the necessity of spoiling this sensational partisan story, but the foots are quito tho contrary, Messry, Freup and Letres have alwgys been Democrats; they wore born, bred, and brought up Democrats; they never profossod or pretended to be Republicans, although theyaro in the habit of voting mixed tickets, —that s, for what they consider tho best men, 'T'bey will undoubtedly vote for some of the Republican candidates this fall, while in obedienco to party feeling thoy may vote for TrroeN and Tammany Hall.
