Press:—‘Driven to desperation by their crusbing defeat in Indiana and their serious dis- appointment in Ohio, the managers of the Hayes can- vass have matured a plot for the exasperation of the people of South Carolina to the point of resisting the federal forces in that State.’ Philadelphia Time: "The State of South Carolina is at peace, and none know it better or regret it more than Governor Chamberlain and Senator Patterson, at whose instance the President has taken this desperate step.” Toronto Mail:—“'Tho experiment of government by tho blacks bas been tried im the South and has failed.’’ Toront» Globe:—“Race troubles are thickening in South Carolina, and the interference of the President in order to secure freedom of clection has not been asked one minute 100 soon,'?
