[CONTINUED FROM LAST Y.'KHK.]
FRANCIS LIKBKR. I
I became acquainted with Dr. <
Francis Lieber whilst I was a i
member of the South Carolina i
Legislature, and the Dr. was pro- 1
feasor of History and Political j
Economy iu the South Carolina |
College. 1 had introduced a bill I
i? the Legislature, to establish a I
penitentiary system iu South Car- i
jlina, which attracted Dr. Lieber's 1
attention, and lead toonr acquaintince.
He was a great advocate ot
moral reform, and thought iguor- i
mice and want of moral culture
made most of the criminals in the
world. He believed that a bad i
nan might become a good man, I
mid he thought hanging about as I
poor a use as any government could i
make of its citizens. The Dr. in- I
vited me to dine with him, and *
talk over the subject. I got him
to write a pamphlet in recom- I
mendation of the system. First, I I
wrote to Governor Noble to write I
the Doctor, and request his views <
For publication on the propriety of i
36taulishing a penitentiary svs i
era. 1
The political excitement sprung 1
immediately afterwards, drew us 1
closer together. lie was an un
compromising Union man. When
I established the only Union paper
iu South Carolina, in 1851, the Dr.
wrote a great many moet able and
valuable articles for it. lie is a
man ot great learning, and has a
world-wide reputation. He can 1
work, read and write all daj', and '
nil night, too, if necessary. lie is 1
i man of strong and vigorous con- '
ititution. lie has traveled a great
leal and written a great deal.?
[lis travels have been over the
greater portion of the globe, and
his writings have embraced almost
svery branch of human learning '
The trustees of the College refused
to elect liiui President, and he re
signed his professorship, and mov- <
ad to New York. Ibis was a 1
great mistake on the part of the 1
trustees, giving up such a man as 1
Dr. Lieber. 1 did all 1 could to i
secure his election, and knew that
it would give reputation to the i
College. A majority of the trustees
thought, however, that lie was
deficient in administrative talent.
Some of them, too, were prejudiced
against him on account o!
iiis political principles.
On the removal ot Dr. Lieber to
New York, he was elected to a '
professorship in Union College.?
When 1 was in New York, in 1859,
L called fc see the old gentleman,
snd * - ! him happy and content- 1
ir ? \T.i8 ,in a oeuer latitude i
politics. We &pent the |
v. in taking over old times.
Llv. I .11 received au autograph 1
latter .. %i Hum holt, which he '
trained >u <f. hung up in his libra* i
f y. F|- ?iao ri Latin motto in largo
kCio u over his door, which ex 1
piessed the idea that liberty was
liiwfcs; ?o hi in than his country.?
xJi-uiM is no doubt that L>r. Liebera
philosophical views and moral feelings
were all opposed to slavery,
whilst hi was in South Carolina.
!hit he was no Abolitionist, in the
'. "ry receptr.tiou of the term,
lie did not wish to disturb ?be re
b/ion which existed between mas
irr and slave. He, no doubt,
thought with Mr. Webster, as lie
erp: eased himself, at Dr. Gibh's
table, that no change could be
made wb&h would benefit the
slavo He thought and declared
that tbe negro was an inferior race
to the white man, and never could
be elevated to his uositton.
Dr. Lieber has been ofiener end
mure bigliiv complimented and
honored in Europe, than any other
American citizen, except it be professor
Agaesis, of Boetct I he;
Doctor was born in Pins***, ?.nd i
bad to leave there on aco? unt of
his liberal views and participation
In some political movement. lie
tua a soldier in the battle of Waterloo,
and woonded in the foot.?
He has written ten or twelve volumes
of the American Encvclopdia,
two large volumes of political
etbios, two volumes on oivil government,
recollections of Nieber,
<&c..Ac. V
During the recent war, Dr. Lieber
was a fierce Radical, and said
t i > t ? <
and did a great many things which i
greatly displeased his Southern
friends. He had one son killed in
the Confederate army, and another
who lost an arm in the Federal
arm)'. I do not know his political ;
sentiments since the war He may
be acting with the Radical party, *
but 1 feel assured be cannot ap- <
prove of the tyranny and usurpations
of that party. He is a thor
(tilcrli Ttpinnpi-ot J ?1
?ww \jj unvui c aiiu w |
ucation, loves liberty and Republican
principles, as bis whole lite illustrates.
Nor can I believo that
he is in favor ot negro supremacy,
in the Southern States, or willing ,
to see the intelligent and virtuous
men of his owu race disfranchised.
Dr. Lieber is a man of plain and
simple manners, and a most pleas
ant and agreeable companion. He
is full of learning and information
on all subjects, and was regarded
in the South Caroliua College as a
?ort ot walking library. When in ]
formation was desired on any subject,
many of his triends would apply
co him for it instead of going
to their books. lie is a stout and
heavy man, formed for strength
and labor. He is not very grace
fnl in his person, though genteel.
Nor is he very spruce in his dress,
lis great massive mind soars
above such considerations. 1
WILLIAM OILMORK SIMMS.
Doctor Sitnms is well known as
a poet and novel writer, and had
liis destiny been cast in the North, .
liis fame would have been greater
than it is. He would not then have
had those sectional prejudices to
contend with as a man of literature.
Ho is a strong Southern man, and
lias offended the North by his po
litical opinions and love of the
South. In return, the literary men
of the North have passed him over
in silence, in pulling and eulogizing
the literature of the United
States. Many of his works of fiction
arc written with great ability,
and would do credit to any living
novelist. They have achieved for 1
him, in spite of all prejudice, a
high reputation as a graphic de- 1
lineator of character and events,
lie has done tor ISouth Carolina,
what Sir Walter Scott did for Scotland
and Scottish historj*. The
scenes of most of his tales are laid
in South Carolina, and he has incorporated
in them, a great deal of
our colonial and Revolutionary his- 1
lory. lie has also been a prolific
poet, but. I do not think his poetry ?
has been appreciated by the American
public'as his novels have.
Doctor Simms is a native South i
Carolinian, and loves his State
with all the fervor of a true patriot.
He commenced his literary career 1
as the editoi of a papet in Charleston,
shortly after his admission to
the bar. The pleasures of literature
stole him from his profession. He
[*ave it up, and devoted himself to
fiction and poetry, lie met with
great success in his earlier efforts,
audin the betters days of the Republi/1
Ilia ll'ivi-L c i) \ M'lJl
* V/. U to nouiv nun ru 11V* 11 y c?11U 1
they are voluminous. Besides romances
aud poetry, Dr. Sirains has
written the history of Sonth Carolina,
and other valuable books.?
l'he degree of L. L. D. was conferred
on him on account of his learning
and reputation as a writer.
The Doctor was originally a
Union man, and cooperated with
tiio Union party of South Carolina
lot many years. Ilo ultimately
jjave in his adhesion to the secession
prrty, and becamo a terrible
disuuionisi. During the war which
ensued, lie lost all of his property,
and had his dwelling house and
valuable aud extensive libriary
destroyed by tire.
Doctor Siinrns has been a
member ot theSouth Carolina Leg
islature, aud in that body took a
prominent part as a speaker in all
the debates. He snoke well, and
olwa>s commanded the attention
of the Houses. He has also delivered
a course of lectures on histo
ry, both at the North and in the
C. .1. I It ur-HIt A/tMO I/Lton kl a Att aaaaa

Been few persona who talked better.
Ue is a most genial and boon
companion. In appearance, he is
fine looking, and possesses fine
manners.
1 have been on terms of intimacy
with the Doctor tor many years,
lie once wrote mo about coining
to Greenville, to deliver b-s course
ot lectures on history. 1 wrote
him, in reply, that we had very little
literary taste in Greenville, and
1 did not think ho would meet with
that success which his lectures
merited. But that if he would
oring with him a show of any kind,
a circus, or a parcel of monkeys,
i could insure him success, litis
disgusted the Doctor so much, that
he passed through Greenville without
stopping.In
a preface to oue of his lectures
in New York, just before the
war, he said to his audience, that
lie heard the complaint, every*
where, that they wet e governed b}
the South, In reply to this accu,
*
ation, he told them, that when he
witneeaed their wealth and prosperity,
their com** erce and manufac- fa
lures, their shools and college?, their gj
railroad?, towns and villages, and y
all their works of art and improvements,
they onght to thank their
God tor snch government If he tl
could have foreseen the govern- 8
rnent of the South, nnder tho rule
of the Radical North, for the last
three years, in poverty and 6tarva tl
lion, with desolated fields and a
burnt bouses, negro supremacy and y
bayonets, military courts for the trial
of citizens and cotton thieves and a
carpet-baggers, how terribly he t
might have contrasted the two I i
govemings and ruling.

On the 5th inst., the President ^
laid before the Senate the follow- ,
ing communication from the State
Treasurer: .
Executive Department,
State Treasury Office,
Columbia, S. C., Feb. 5, 1872. jj
To the President and Members of
the Senate : tj
Gentlemen?I hare the honor ^
to inform you that the appropria~ ^
tion made during the present see- j
sion of the General Assembly, for
the payment of the per diem and
mileage of meirbors, pay of at r
t aches and incidental expenses, for
the sessions of 1870-'T1 and
187T-72, are exhausted.
As far as I can learn, there are ^
yet outstanding certificates to the t
amount of one hundred and ten ?
lhon6a..d ($110,000) dollars, of the
session of 1870-'71, held by the *

tutions of this place, which have
been carried for a year. The iin- v
portance of making an early ap- |j
propriation tor the payment of the ^
above can hardly be over estimated.
*
In addition to the amount above c
stated, there are numbers of certi- ?(
ficates issued during the piesent j.
session yet unpaid, which, togeth j
er with those drawn to pay to the q
16th instant, will in my opinion, j
require a sum of at least two hum 0
died and fifty thousand ($250,000) j
dollars to meet.
Of the sum due for taxes for the
present fiscal year, about one-half .
ot the amount lias been collected, 1(.
while the lime for payment, with ^
out penalty, expired on January
15th. " v
I would respectfully suggest .
that some measure be adopted to
provide a revenue sufficient to e
ineet the above and other demands "
on the treasurer. r
Very respectfully,
