Playing Out Rapidly

Mr. Eedíield, the Southern correspondent of tho Cinoinnati Commercial, writes that journal from Charleston : The Eepublican party is pluying out rapidly. After the next election the Eepublican members willnotbe numeroub. The truth is, the Eepubliean party in South Carolina is going the way it bas gone in all the Southern States, only more rapidly, if anything. The 36,000 majority of colored voters will count for uothing. The white inau is now on top, and with each returning election he will more securely intrench himself. Only a few years ago the Eepublicans had both branches of the Georgia Legislatura. Now, out of over 200 members they have but nine, It íb evor so. When once the Eapublican party starts downward in a Southern State it is soou practically out of existence. To all intent and purposes the Eepublican party in South Carolina is tolay dead. It can do nothing, it can elect nobody. There is a wide-spread and almost frenzied determination upon ;he part of tho whites never to allow it ;o come into power again, and they nevor wilL By superior intelligence and resources thoy will gradually but effectually crush it eut. They havo had enough of it, and will go to war before ;hoy will allow it to come into power again. Thia fierce antagonism is not without cause. The career of the Eepublican jarty here has been a libel upon civilization. lts rule has been imbecility and robbery. Offices and public trusts were iought and sold without shame. Tho Jegislaturo was little less than a den of ihieves. To get anything through it ïad to be bought through. Domocrats aperating from the outside were largely mixed up in robbing the State, as will e showu upon full investigation. But :f course the bulk of the blame must rest with those in power.
