Military Goveruuieul for I lie
j South.
/ The peaceable people of Soutli Carolina,
white and colored, must be astonished
to loam froui Washington, that such a
terrible condition of lawlessness exists in
this State that life, liberty, and property
arc insecure. They know ttiat perfect
peace and quiet prevail, that every man is
attending to his own business, that every
man is l'rcc to go and come when he pleases,
that Democrats and Republicans alike
hold political meetings undisturbed, and .
that 110 man's legal l ights are abridged, or j
likely to be so. s|
The action of President (Jrant and the I
Attorney-General of the United State.*!
are not unexpected to those, who have \
been iu a position to watch the current of
events, and who have foreseen that reports
of outrages iu the South, and a eonsequent
policy of military repression were
a fxtiiticul necessity. The Republican party
must preserve its life, and this can only
be done by keeping alive the issues that
produced it. The destruction of slavery
gave it vitality; this bciug an accomplish
ed fact, it mast be proved now that the
protection of the negroes of the South is
uocessary, and that the Democratic party
is their deadly cuemy, otherwise the caroer j
of the Republican party is at an end. The I
poor white people of the South, who have
for years been ground down by govern-'
incuts in which they have no voice or
part, except paying heavily for their sup
port, and who are very naturally supposed
to be the allies of the Northern Democratic
party, must be saddled with all sorts of
imaginary crimes. Those newspapers
which make the preservation of party ascendency
their only aim, regardless of the
claims of truth or justice, have been busy,
for weeks, manufacturing public scnti*
a ~ ?of nilpp.
ineut, puDIisning naming awuunu r
ly imaginary outrages, and denouncing the
Southern people for perpetrating crimes
of which they never heard. In order to
take the edgo off of any denials of these
Htories, they preface their indictments by
the assertion that Southern editors are not
to be believed, because they are the leaders
of the Ku-Ivlux, and other law-breakers.
None arc to be believed, except men iike
Patterson, who represent uobody in this
State, and would not be allowed to sit in
the Cuited States Senate, or to hold any j
office in South Carolina, if the people of I
all parties and complexions were allowed !
to express their unbiassed opiuious through
the medium of the ballot-box.
Party necessity required that the political
pool should be muddied, and it has
accordingly been muddied. The lines ol
battle had been formed at the South. On
one side were arrayed those who desired
to see a chock put upon t lie fraud ami
tbeft that uro a digracc to the whole liepublic,
and arc so considered by the Aiue
ricau people; ou the other, was a small
party, weak in numbers and weaker in
character, aliens to the South, with no
interest in our people further than an
avaricious desire to absorb their little remaining
property, and having the love and
confidence of no class of our citizens. The
issue of such a contest was beyond all
doubt. The battle must never be allowed
to be fought uudcr such circumstances.
The enemy has ignominiously retired, and
the general government is called upon to!
keep them iu power, whether the people j
want them, or not. Such is the situation.1
as it appears at present.
What are these outrages, which arf
alarming the people of the great North,
and call for the presence of the 1'nited
States army in the South, to keep in cheek
a dcodIc who have been subjected to nearly ;
ten yearn of oppression and coercion ? In
South Carolina, as every one known, they
are nothing. General Grant will scarcoK
forbid fox-hunting on moon light nights,
because, on one occasion, a party engaged in
this recreation unintentionally disturbed !
the rest of Moses and Patterson. It he nil! j
suppress such riots as occurred at George
town, we will heartily thank him. If ho will
forbid incendiary harangues, and other
attempt* to excite the colored people to
I deeds of violeuce, we will look to him as
r our protector. If he will put a stop t<>
" - 1J
' "lawlessness' in those wuosuoum uemc v*|
pontnts of law, and guarantee to us the
enjoyment of our '"civil rights." we will J
feel disposed to look favorably upon his us I
pirations for a "third term." Wo want
) protection against Patterson and his crew
1 intiuitcly more than they do against us.
Crimes have been committed in some of
?"?tlio Southern States ; but why cannot their
governments punish them t They havt
sheriff', courts, and juries. The great
body of the people do not approve of these
crimes. A powerful com tint us would
no doubt, assist the sheriff in the arrest
of outlaws. The truth is, that these governments
are so miserable and contemptible
that they arc utterly worthless. '1 hey |
have not the sympathy of the people, and j
are conscious of tho fact. Thcr are strong
and ready to levy, collect, and spend the
taxes, bet wben the services of the expen- 1
siva machinery, which the taxes sustain. 1
are required to proftfe; life and property, j
they are impotent. ,
W$ hare dene nothing yet to hUi?,taJ
instigation at the bauds of the United
States government, and must be careful to
preserve our innocence in the future. A
quarrel must die out, unless there arc two
parties to keep it up ; a tiro cannot burn
without fuel. The strength and safety of
our people now lie in quiet and forbearance.
Crime and violence must be dis.
countenanced, and, if committed, punished.
but we must go on preparing to resist
robbery and misgovernmcnt by lawful organization,
and legal methods.

Correspondence of the News and Courier.
Washington, September 3.
Attorney-General Williams returned
1'roui liOng Branch this fitorning. The
sudden and unexpected return of the attorney
general, who before leaving to consult
with President Grant _t Long Branch
on the Southern troubles, had contemplated
visiting his parents in the interior
of New York, indicates that a stringent
policy has been decided upon. This morning
Secretaries Bristowaud Belknap, Sen
ator Chandler, of Michigan, and Attor|
ney-Gencral Williams had au extended
\ consultation at the war department.?
These officials are <juite reticent as to its
nature, but Attorney-General Williams
in conversation remarked that during the
course of the day he would impart through
the press important information.
Later.?As a result of the conference
held at the war department this moraine
the following circular, which is self-explanatory,
was issued this afternoon tc
tho L"n?ted States attorneys aud marshals.
It has the approval of the President, the
substantial parts of the same having been
communicated to hint during an interview
with the attorney-general at Long
iLaueh :
Department ok Justice. )
Washington, Sept. 3. j
Slit?Outrages of various descriptions
and iu some eases atrocious murders
have been committed in your districts b\
bodies of armed meu sometimes iu dis
guise, and with the view, it is believed, ol
overawing aud iutimidating peaceable and
law-abiding citizens, and depriving thorn
of the rights guaranteed to them by the
constitution and laws of the United States.
Your attention is directed to an act oi
Congress, passed April U, lSliti, entitled
au act to protect all persons in the United
Slates iu their civil lights, and to furnish
means for their vindication; and to auother
passed April -0, 1870, eutitled an
j act to enforce the piovisious of the 14th
! amendment to the constitution of the United
States, and fur other purposes; aifco to
one passed May 30, 1870, entitled au act
to enforce the right of citizens of the United
States to vole in the several States of
this union, and for other purposes, which,
with their amendments, umke these deed?
| of violence and blood offences within the
j jurisdiction of tho General Government.
; 1 consider it my duty in view of these
circumstances, to instruct you to proceed
with all possible energy and dispatch te
delect, expose, anvst and punish the perpetrators
of timso crimes, and to that end
you are to spare tie effort or necessary
I expense. 1 roups of the United States
will be staU'ind ul different and convenient
j-.iiiii.s in your district for the
purpose of giving all needful aid in the
discharge of your oiiicial duties. Vou
understand of course, iu interference,
whatever, is hereby intended with any
political or party action not in violation
of law, but protection to all classes of citizen-',
white and colored, in the free cxerI
cise of the elective franchise, and the enjoyment
of the other rights and franchises
to which they are entitled under ilie constitution
and laws as citizens of the United
Slates. These instructions are issued
by authority of the President, and with
I the concurrence of the secretary of war.
Very respectfully,
(JfcottGE li. Williams,
Attrney-lion oral.
The following lot tor was received from
President Urant to-day:
Long Huaniij, Sept. 1, 1874.
lien. Hki.knai', Secretary of War:
The recent atrocities in the South, and
particularly in Louisiana, Alabama and
iSi uth Carolina, show a disregard for law,
civil rights and personal protection, that
ought not to be tolerated in any civilized
government. It look> as if. unless speedily

it At il such authorities become powerless
Under such circumstances it is the duty
ol' llie government to give all the aid lor
the protection ol' life and civil rights legally
authorized. To this end, I wish you
w >ul'J Consult the attorney general, who
is well informed as to the outrages already
committed and localities where the greatest
danger lies, and order troops so as to
he available in cases of necessity. .\ll
proceedings forthc protection of the South
will be under the direction of the law department
of the government, and will be
directed by the attorney general in accordance
with the enforcement acts. So
instructions need therefore be given the
troops ordered into the Southern States
except as they may be transmitted from
time to time 0:1 advice from the attorney
general, or is circumstances may determine
hereafter. Vour? truly,
1 S. (in a sr.
Tho secretary of war and the alt' nicy
general do not deem it necessary, just
now, to scud additional troops to the
Southern States where outrages have occurred,
and consequently none will be i
sent until it is found that the troops no*
quartered in these States are insufficient
to aid the I nitcd States marshals in en
forcing the terms id' the circular issued
to?day by tho attorney general.
Lonu likANCH, N J., September G.?'
The ('resident yesterday expressed himself
as sincerely desirous ot leaving the
Southern States to take earc of their own
political affairs, and of non interference
on the part of the Federal government,
but the fact of the existence of lawlessness
and violence in some of the States was
undeniable, hence the preliminary orders
for the movement of the troops are legitimate
and proper, lie hopes the motal
effect of the presence of the troops may
render their active use unnecessary. Under
the representations that have been
made, be believes be would be guilty of
neglect of duty if he did not take steps
for the prevention of threatened evils.

Washington, September 5.?It is
said that, under the present arrangements,
Attorney-General Williams, whom the
' Senate rejected as chief justice, is virtual
l ly commauder-in-ehicf of the armies and

j or abuse throughout the South. He is to

eminent respecting the use of troops in
i the interest of peace, and is fully impressed
with the importance of preventing
1 their use in aid of either political faction.
Orders have also been issued through
j Gen. McDowell for a disposition of the
J troops in Alabama, in accordance with
the recommendation of the attorney?
i general. Orders have also been issued
I for a distribution oftroops in South Caro!

Tho New Tork Herald correspondent
i at the While .Sulphur Springs, West Yiri

i Grant, during a recent vir.it there, informed
Col. Swann, a wealthy citizen.

: political speech. At a subsequent caucus

TO THE
Wholesale Trade.
Judging the future by the pant, we enter
with confidence upon thin our new enterprise,
of .separating our Wholesale from our Retail
Trade, by having a separate and distinct
House for each; and in doing so we flatter
ourselves tlint it. will not only meet the approval
of our uumarous customers, but that
an "Exclusive Wholesale House"' will bring
us u large influx of new trade, and of a character
not heretofore enjoyed.
It must be obvious to every buyer thpt a
strictly "Wholesale House," arranged and ,
adapted for that Trade only, with a corps of
experienced Wholesale Salesmen, with a
Stock carefully selected for that trade only,
and moreover, the avoidance of coming in
contact with retail buyers. Such a house,
we assert, must and will commend itself to
the trade.
Four years ago, we advertised that we intended
to make Charlotte a wholesale ms:t
and ours the "Wholesale House." We now
have the proud satisfaction of seeing it an accomplished
fact.
We now call your attention to the fact that
we have converted our superb store into an
exclusive Wholesale House, where yon can
find all lines of goods necessary for a country
More, to-wit: Dry-Goods, Clothing, Boots,
Shoes, Hats, Notions, Groceries, Hardware,
Millinery, all in complete lines, bought in
large quantities and from the very first hands.
Our slock is new arriving and will be complete
about the first of September, and wilt
be the largest of any here, the pretensions of
others to the contrary notwihstanding. We
respectfully invite your personal inspection,
or write to us for circulars.
Vorv trulr vnnrs.
WITTKOWSKY & RINTEL3.
RETAIL.
Now, n few words about that. We now-eccupy
the superb house heretofore so favorably
known as Messrs. Brem, Brown & Co.'b Dry
Goods House, to carry on our Retail business,
and as "EXCELSIOR" is, and has always
been our motto, we claim also in that line to
excel in stock, to excel in lowness of prices,
and to excel generally. We will, in that
house have a corps of thirty Salesmen and
Sales-Ladies, all experienced, affable and
obliging.
We will make the Millinery branch o
specialty. ^ RCharlotte,
