The Charleston X'tcs of the Ifith W pius a long editorial on the condition of affairs hv asking "Where do the pco;.le of South Carolina stand to day? and after two aolumes on the jcrisis in the .state," answer the question in the fMbwing language.

""South Carolina the Democrats, ail ovet **'tke State,fwho were elected as Sit rifs "County Clerks, Coroners, are dailv "sending for their commissions to be ' signed by Governor Chamberlain.'

(Vm.iubia, S. l\ Dev. 17.?The situaj tion. |*oiiticu11v considered certainly proj pounds a set of what may he termed coui teunial eounuuunun*, the solution ol I which involves the question of the exist- ! % 1 1 j anco of the republican party in South j Carolina. Here we have a party who have 1 ecu howling ahout the corruption ami fraud of the republican party yet i coking hy a next stupendous fraud tosei cure to themselves the government of the i : State despite the will of tlie majority of | the voting imputation of the State. It has already heeu otahli.-hed that at least live thousand votes cast in the couuticborderii.g on the Georgia line, were cast i by Georgians, not citizens of the State of | South Carolina. Not that on the day ol J election five thousand men from Georgia j crossed the line and voted, but this numj her of democratic votes was cast by bauds j of armed Georgia repeaters, who publicly gave it out at some of she polls that t ey had come from Georgia for the purpose of redeeming the State. This fact is per fectiv well known to the leaders of the democratic parry, and when one of them j was asked, who by the by is a member oi j the democratic executive committee, how he could account for the large majority in Edgefield county, remarked: "well I suppose it was necessary," and yet in the face of this knowledge they go through the hot low farce of declaring Hampton , and Simpson elected, and performed the i b i>] heinous mockery of swearing them and calling upon Heaven to bless theh acts, the consumatio:) of fraud and vio h nee. The people of Beaufort county know but little of the terrorism and iutimid tion resorted to in ttie ndjouning counties of Aiken. Barnwell and Edgefield where on the day of election theappjoueh I 1> .1. _ - M .! I I es lu several 01 rue pons were piexeieu r>\ armed bands of men, who refused to al j low any pcr.on, a known republican 01 one who admitted to tlieiu that foe was going to cast a republican ticket, to pass, in many instance tiring at these men whom they turned back from the polls. fl he re pcating in all these counties was done or a wholesale scale. Does not those statements of facts raise the question as to whether the majority of the people of the State are going to allow their rights of suffrage to be made a nullity, or that the United States government is going to sit calmly by and allow its constitution which guaraetees a republican form of governj ment, and sustains the equal pditien1 rights of the humblest, to be trampled under foot .in the manner in which the opposition have attempted by violence, intimidation and fraud, to do? I take i: that neither thtvonc or the other will. The situation has remained unchanged since the inauguration (?) of Hampton and Simpson, except the issuance of the bill by the State democratic executive committee, calling for no .surrender an i no payment of taxes to usurpers, and the manifesto of the would-be Lieut-Governor Simpson, who in spite of the fraud.; on the face of the returns only received 13p more votes than Gleaves, which Informs the senate that he is now in town, x fact that has been well known for over a month. Titi* communication has been referred to the jrdiciary committee, bu as there arc two oilier committees yet to which it "can be referred?the privilege and election and lastly and very appro j , r'ately, to the committee on claims?it j is not likely that tins invitation to stej> | down and out to Lieut-Gov. G leaves, \v! o received a majority of the legal volts of the State, will be heard from for some time. In the meantime the democrats v?iU*j)roeced to inaugurate their government which like the McEnery govern moot in Louisiana, will bo a government in name only. The senate have recognized the Mackey If luse, and the democratic members l>3* remaining in tlioirscats and taking ]^?rt in the business while Mr Cleaves acts as president by virtue of ?his position as I/eat Governor, is actually the admi.-sion of the legality of his einin, to having been loyally t 'ectcd. Hut democracy thy name is inconsistency, for some of tli ) members on adjournment of the senate ar the State House go down to the little confederate house round the corner, is the rifle com patties house of assembly ':u? been very appropriatelyealled ; and meet in joint assembly and take part 1 in the farce of trying t? elect a U.
