[Off TIIE GRIEVANCES OK THE TAXPAYERS .MAY RE REPRESSED WITHOUT INJURING THE INTERESTS OF "THE PARTY." [From the N. Y. World, February 28.] The almost pathetic memorial to Conress by the South Carolina sufferers, hich we printed yesterday, recalls public ttcntion to already well-known abuses 'hose existence and hideous enormity re freely acknowledged by the llepublian press. ***** What is the reuicdv ? Of course, it is ? - J , npcssible to turu buck the hands of the ial and withdraw the elective franchise oin the negroes, Their right of suffrage as been engrafted on th* constitution, nd it would be supremo folly to attempt reversal of the Fifteenth amendment, [either the Democratic party nor any othr pnity will ever be Quixotic enough to t.teuipt it. Universal suffrage, black as ell <ts white, is fixed and irreversible, .nd yet, if the Republican party is willig to redress the great wrongs it has srpetrated, we can point out a practicale method which will relieve the party ' a sinking load of odium, and at the same tne enable it to retain every political adintage it sought and gained by conferng snffrngo om the negroes. Wo advise epublican leaders in their own party invest, willing that they should reap the lvaniagc of a great act of justice and paration if the suffering South can therev be relieved. The Republican party in afford more prompt aud efficient relief inn the Democratic party could if it were i power; because it can control the noro vote, which the Democratic party mid not. \\u .?;n /tntifinn niit* ciirrtr.acf mns t <. f !iO ' u??" " "" " - j )uditiun ol' things in South Carolina, t here the white population as returned ' y the last census was only 289,667 and ic negro population 415,814, or very 1 early in the proportion of two to three, j ven with this great preponderance of egrocs a tolerably good government might s established in South Carolina; if (lie epublican party would but exert its po;nt control over the negro vote iu one lection. The plan we propose is a revision of ic State constitution. Wo would have ?c right of suffrage taken l'roui no no- | ro; indeed that is impossible since the fteenth amendment to the Federal conitutiou. Hut two changes might be lade in the State Constitution of South arolina which would remedy tho chief rils of negro suffrage. Fint, the constitution of South Carolia should be so amended as to diminish, , s far as possible, the number of elective >eal officers. Let them be appointed by le Governor subject to confirmation bv lie Senate. To be sure, the negroes ot' be State might still elect the Governor, ut they would not thereby get control of ,ic local offices, as wo proceed to show. *S'ccoraHy, (and this is the vital chango,) property qualification should be required >r elections of the State Senators The rying vice of tho present government of ] outh Carolina is. that it fails to protect rupeity. The owners of property should e clothed with a power of self-protection, uch a change in the basis of one brunch f the Legislature, would bo consistent . ith tho fifteenth amendment, consistent 'ith every otlier part of the Federal Contit utiou, and with the early practice of :veral of the States. It would not be a iscrimination founded on race, color or rcvious condit ion of servitude, and, thcro. ?re, would not come in aonflict with the 1 ftccnth amendmcnt. The Constitution learly recognizes the right of the States i require different qualifications for tho lectors of the two branches of their Leislatures. ''The House of Kcpresentaves shall bo composed of members chosen very second year by tho people of the iveral States, and the electors in each j tutu ohall have the qualifications requisite, i tr i fee tors of the most numerous branch j t' the State Legislature." Which fully1 * # encodes the right of tho States to require j ifferent <jiialilic:itiuns for the twobranchi of tiicir Legislatures. Such a distinction was made in many of ic St iten for a lontr period after the adop<n of the l-'cderal (Constitution. In lassacliusctts, f<>r example, the State enatc rested on a hasis of property; and hen its constitution was revised in 18-0, Ir. Webster and Judge Story made j :rong speeches f<<r retaining that arrange ' icnt, which was actually continued till a ' iter period. Mr. Madison was a strcnuus advocate of the representation of proprty in one branch of the Legislatures.? l property <|iialificutiori was formerly rcuired in the State of Now York. It was nally dropped in all the States, because roperty in tbis country is so dividod and ifcfod that a largo majority of tha whits citizens aro property-owners. Rut the sudden introduction of a vast body of ig_ uornnt, destitute negroes revives all the reasons for making one branch of the Legislature representatives of property in States where the negroes arc numerous Such a recurrence to the early policy of the Republic would redeem South Caroli 1 U L na. Protection to negro rignts wouiu oo just as complete as it is at present, for the blacks could always elect the lower branch of the Legislature, and no law could be passed abridging their rights.? But they could not impose heavy taxes on property without the consent of its owners. They could elect tho Governor; but if he appointed incapable or dishonest negroes to the local offices, the Senate would refuse to confirm them. The chaftge wc suggest is very simple, but it would be very efficient for the protection of property; and it would leave an equally efficient protection for all personal rights in the hands of the negroes. This salutary change is practicable if the administration and the Republican leaders would support it. Their sway and influence over the nogro wind are all-controlling wheuevor they choose to exert it, as they habitually do in the elections. They would lose nothing, and gain bv exerting it now in this direc tion. Tlicy conferred the right of suffrage on the negroes to insure their continued possesion of the Federal government. Putting the State Senate on the basis of property would not interfere with this purpose. The Prcsiaedtial electors and the members of Congress would still bo elected by the unrestricted negro vote. In choosing United States senators the two branches of the Legislature would probably differ; but the election would then be made by joint ballot, and the negroes would elect their candidate. The Republican party would therefore retain all its present advantages in national pol-i itics, and be relieved from the odium of the hideous condition of affairs in the negro States. We have given the Republican leaders good advice, it is forwhem to decide whether they will accept it. The Siamese Twins in TlifcL- Land. When I first saw the Siamese Twins, their strange foreign features and the few sentences spoken for uiy entertainment in the harsh dialect of their country made as strong :m impression on my childish fancy as the freak of nature which had united them so closely. Yet I scare .ly expected then to visit the place of their nativity or to converse with their parents in their own vernacular. When, however, after the lapse of years, my husband and myself were setting forth on our Kustcru tour we sought out the Twins in order to learn something of their former home and connections. They evinced much emotion when told that we should probably visit their country, and readily gave us the address of their parents. When we asked, '-What message shall we take to them ?" ('hang smiled and said something in a low tone to his brother, at whicb Mug shook his head noLrativefv. and then both spoke out, Chang, saying, "Tell thcui we arc coining home some time," and Khg adding, \\ hen w e have made money enough." The Twins were born some thirty miles southwest of Bangkok, in a little fishing village that derives its name from the Ma i\laug ( Croat Canal,") on which fronts the single narr >w street of low, straggling houses that compose the town. Hut while Chang and Kng were yet in their infancy the parents rem 'Ved to Bangkok, and w ere, when we saw t!. ::n, living within four miles of the eity. Tiic father was a Chiuauian, who sj> he the Tai-Chou dialect, lie was of medium height, somewhat stout, but well formed, and intelligent for oiio of the laboring class. The mother J w as burn in Siain. of a Chinese father and | Siamese mother; so that the Twins were one fourth Sialic se and three-fourths Chi-1 neso, so far ab parentage was concerned, 1 oKallf I { ! tlirl'i iL* Qflitnl' /if* auu uiu j'vujnu "'"mv v? , tliein as the "Chinese Twins.' lacing b ?rri in the country, they spoke tlic Sia-1 incso language far more fluently than they did Chincso. Tlu'V, hotvcvcr.Jwore the < 1i>innu(t dress, and their hair braid I n } < as do always the innlo children of Chinese father"; and the parents ' Iiutli spoke of their sons as Chinese, utter-' l\ ignoring their plaec of birth and the mother's nationality. The mother of the Twins was a fair, comely woman of me- J <1 i 1:111 height and well developed form,? She had good health, and looked still! youthful, though already the mother of j fourteen children, nine of whom were then living. Two wore prematurely born, two died in early infancy, and one, of smallpox, at the age of six years or thereabouts. Chang and Kng were the first born sons of their parents, and there were four other pair of twins, and four children bora one at a birth; but none except Chang and Eng had any abnormal peculiarity, and those that we saw were all healthy, intelligent and pleasing in appearance.? Chang and Eng were born in the latter part of 1811, or early in 1812, we could not learn definitely which, as no record had been kept. Tiie mother spoke of them as somewhat smaller at birth than her other offspring, and as seeming focblo for the first six months of their lives, especially Eng, who was never quite as large as his brother. The notion that the twins were in any sort one, that they vere actuated by the same mind or impulse, as had often been suggested, never seemed to have entered their mother's mind, and when questioned on the subject she utterly rejected the idea; she had never perceived that the sickness of one affected the other. Ones, sometimes cried when she was nursing his brother, or one might hurt his hand or foot and the other not feel the pain, but if the ligament that united the twain was toushed just in the centre, both were conscious of it. They often played together as two, not as one, and when they began to prattle they oftener spoke to each other than to those about them It was obvious why this habit of conversing together was not more common with the twins when they grew older. Being always together, and enjoying precisely the same facilities for acquiring information, there could be little occasion for one to communicate with the other. no r.iff line fhflf. fllAfiA 1 liu UIWVIIUI IVIU UO lUiViiV! VUN. children seldom disagreed .villi each other, though occasionally she had to interfere and compel one or the other to give up. Chang being larger, more intelligent and stronger, usually took the initiative, and Eng, who was decidedly amiable, while his brother was irritable and sometimes passionate, seldom contended tor the suprcm ncv. But now and then, either that the rule of the stronger became too stringent, or fnat the weaker was in a less yielding mood than ordinary, these closest of friends would become so very incensed as to make use of some very unfrat6rnal epithets towards each other A whisper in the ear of one was not heard by tho other, and if he -*? wUoiulhe communication had been made failed to impart ft at once to liis brother, unkind words were suro to follow, and sometimes the coldness lasted for days. Alter reconciliation, which was always cordial and entire, both brothers spoke doprecatingly of their quarrel, and for a longtime were more devoted than ever to each other. The mother said that at firsf the ligament which united the boys was so short i us fn onnir>L'l them to face each other, nor could they turn in bed without being lifted up and placed in the desired position j but as they grew up and exercised more freely the ligament gradually lengthened until they were enabled to stand side by and oven back to back, and even to turn themselves in bed by rolling one over the other. The little cottage where the boys passed their childhood, was of the sort known in Siatn as "floating houses." They are one story buildings ,moored on the river batiks, and kept in place not by anchors, but by large poles on each side, driven in to the muddy bottom. They arc built cither of teak boards or bamboo, roofed with attap leaves, and contain three or ; four rooms, of which the front one is a 1 shop, besides a verandah that overlooks ' tho river or canal. Here, day by day, as the father nlicd his trade of catching fish, . or cleaned and sorted them for market, ( and tho mother was selling wares in her 1 little shop, tho twin brothers amused themselves in the broad, cool piazza wutohing their parents, and assisting in each 1 light labors as the)' were able to undertake, i Sometimes they went fishing in tho boat [ with their father, and like all Eastern children they soon learned to swim, and spent much time in the water. One day while they were thus engaged, Mr. Unbert Hunter a Scotch merchant residing in Hangkok passed in his boat, and attracted by tlie perfect uniformity of their motions, stopped to ascertain how they managed to keep thus ottacly together. One can imagine his amazement on discovery of the cause, and from that day, which was sometime in 1824. Mr. Hunter bewail concoct ing measures to get tlieui off io Kurope fur exhibition, lie spoke to their parents, to whom his plan seemed about as feasible as to send their bo^s off to another planet, and they Would, at first entertain no proposition on the subject. Mr. 11. continued to visit them from time to time, and by his genial nature succeeded in winning not only the hearts of the pa rents but those of the boys thomsolves till the latter became eager to set out on a t >ur over the world of which they heard such glowing accoonts. 8{ill the parents held back, and all negotiations would have j failed but for tho opportune arrival in I 1829 of an American vessel commanded by Captain Coffin, who offering to give the parents a large bonus, and Mi*. Hunter pledging an equal amount, the twins were handed over to the foreigners, and sailed immediately for Europe and the United States, before their parents had an opportunity of changing their minds. They were tractable intelligent well behaved lads who gave their new guardians no trouble, nor during their entire voyage expresscd^any desire to return to their native land. Since then, their reputation has become world wide. I saw them last, in the fall of 1865 at the New England Agricultural Fair, at Brattleboro, Vt., where they were again exhibiting themselves, with two of their sob*. The fathers were beginning to show signs of age, Eng especially, who looked at least five years older than his brother. They had nearly forgotten their native language and in lion of the emotion they formerly evinced when speaking of their country, they seemed to Itaxl- mLau4 it un/1 n/Minrl nn care very nine auum ii>, mm nuuim ? ^ the conversation by saying nonchalantly, "America is our homo now ; we have no other."?Fannie R. Feudge, in Lippincotts Magazine for March. The Condensed Milk Man. Gail Borden, the "Condensed Milk" man, died in Colorado county, Texas, on Sunday, January 11th, in the seventythird year of his age. Mr. Borden first came to New York from Galveston, Texas. In 1850 he invented what is called meat biscuits, containing in the smallest possible space, all the nutritive properties of the beef or other meat used in its manufacture. After thorough tests, both in this country and Europe, the highest authorities pronounced the "meat biscut" an excellent article, retaining unimpaired the nutritive properties of its constituents.? A council modal was awarded at the great exhibition at London in 1851. The re port on the subject says: *'A moro simple economical and efficient form of portable concentrated food than the American meat biscuit, haB never been brought before the public* Mr. Borden toiled incessantly, and often under great discouragements, in producing this article, but lie still saw a defect in it, which was the agency used in deawwthm. After fWL. er experiments for scveralyears, he perfected a process by which pure broth is reduced to a solid form. Ho next turned his attention to making condensed milk. Preparations of milk were known in Europe and in thin country, but they were too costly to admit of general use, and moreover, foreign substances wero introduced which were less nutritive than new milk. Mr. Borden was the man to overcome all obstacles in this matter, and he set to work with great zeal and confidence. His experiments were long and expensive, but ho at length succeeded.? The first factory which he established was . t n ?i ?j A Ul JjllCIIUClU, V^OIlIIUCtlUUl, UIIU HIC ucuiauu for the milk still increased. In 1860 more extensive works were erected in Duchess county, New York, on the line of the Harlem Railroad, where three vacuum pans were employed, capable of working 5000 gallons per day. Another factory was established at Brewster's, Southeast, Putnam county, another at Livermore Falls, Me, and another at Elgin Kauc county, Illinois. The two latter having each a capacity of 2000 gallons per day. At the latter place there is also a factory for the manufacture of extract of beef. The Robeson Outlaws The Wilmington papers give the following particulars of the killing of the last of the Lowerys: Lowcry had for a long tiiue abstained from the use of ardent spirits, and was, therefore, very wary in his movements, concealing himself effectually from the several enterprisiug young men of Roberon county who were hunting him. Recently, however, he had a severe attack of ' ? ' 1? ?- -? - ?%? 11 Wdil it rtA/) SlOKUCSS, auu uucumu wuijf uiuvu ivuuww ill flesh and physical strength. Thus feel ing unwell and weak, the appearance of one Burns, from Randolph county with his WHISKKY WAOON induced Steve to try and recuperate his debilitated system a little by imbibing souie of the exhilarating fluid, and for this purpose he appeared at Burns' wagon 011 Sunday evening, near the residenco of .John McXair, who lives about sixteen mihs West of liuuibcrton, and two miles South of Bed Bank station 011 tho Carolina Central Railroad. Steve, it would appear, remained all night in the vicinity of Burns' wagon, but his movements were closely watched by Mack Patterson, Thos. Sutton nnd Donald Holcomhe. All night these young men watched the wagon, and near daybreak, when Burns kindled his I fire to cook breakfast, they beheld Lowroy, who, no doubt, had just imbibed his morning drain, banjo in hand, and ready to engage in a hilarious frolic. Near him was the driver of the wagon, a colored man, and it was a long time before the s young men felt at liberty to fire, so much was he surrounded by the parties belonging to the wagop. At last, when nearly all had retired from the immediate vicinity of the doomed man, except the colored man, who seemed determined to enjoy the music of the banjo, (and even he, at last moved his head a little out of the line of direction,) the three guns simultaneously discharged their contents into the face, head and breast of Sttphen Lowery, KILLING HIM INSTANTLY. The colored man was slightly wounded in t.liA fftAA at the same time, and fell when Steve did, but quickly recovered himself, expressing great gratitude that he was alive. On the dead body of the outlaw was found a copy of the weekly Wilmington Post, perforated with the bullets that ended his life. There was also found on him a bunch of skeleton keys and keys of all kinds, adapted to opening any kind of lock. He was armed with a long, sharp knife, three revolvers and a Henry rifle. THE BAND whose extinction is completed by the death of Steve Lowrey, originally consisted of five active members, viz: Thomas Lowrey, Andrew Strong, Stephen Lowrey, Henry Berry Lowrey and Boss Strong, ond they were aged as follows, at the time they were killed}: Thomas Lowrey, 37; ~ ~ ? T 01. Andrew Strong, 3D ; otepnen Jjowrey oxj Henry Berry Lowrey, 28; Bom Strong, 19- Stephen Lowrey was about fire feet ten inches high, of a dark, swarthy comploxion and mixed Indian and negro blood, some of his ancestors, it was said, having belonged to the famed Tusearora tribe. He was by all odds the boldest of notorious outlaw band, destitute of the moral courage and other elements of leadership which characterised his yQunger brother, Henry Berry, but notoriously his superior it! fierce determination, and brnte, bull-dog courage. Fortunately for the good people of Robeson County, he is now dead, and the sorrows of more than a score of desolate homes have at last been tVen-ed; rhody the widow of the defunct chief, Henry Berry Lowery, was among tho crowd at . Lumbertown yesterday, attracted there by i tho news of the tragedy. It is said that she seemed actually rejoiced to learn that thelast of the gang had gone to their long account. It is understood that the lovely Rhoda was wanting to marry again, but that Steve had threatened to kill her if she did so.? There aro many however, who do not believe that Henry Berry is dead, and it is . asserted that he has recently been seen in New York city. Certain it is, that the simple name of the outlaw chief excites as much terror in the classio precincts of Scuffletown, as did that of Richard Cour do Leon among the Saracens in Palestine during the Crusades. The rewards for O - ? ' killingJSteve Lowrey amount in all to six thousand two hundred dollars, and this amount will be paid over to the threo young men who killed him. A very noticeable exodus of colored people is in progress from the eastern Gulf States, across the Mississippi. The blacks are making for Texas. Tho New Orleans Picayune estimates that since 1870100000 negroes have gone to that Stato, and 300, 000 whites. It regards Texas as the safety, valve of the South, and has no fears that the negro immigration will exceed tho white. In Alabama the departure of the blacks is consolidating a permanent democratic power. In Mississippi and Louisiana, where the blacks were more numerous than the whites in 1870, there is a steady decline in their numbers, and tho white vote will soon be the largest. Georgia finds it d ifficult to spare this labor, although ? : iL. her white laboring population is uu iuu w crease. Sir Bartle Frere, at a meetiug of the Royal Geographical Society, in England, stated that after conference with Mr. Kirk, he had come to the conoluaion that the report of Dr. Livingstone's death was true. The Queen, at the recommendation of Gladstone, has granted & pension of $1,000 to the children of Dr. Livingstone. Mr. Dillon, a member of the Liv; ingatone search expedition, has committed ' % t a f__ n ? 8U1CU10. IJr. jjivingsione a rcuiaiub wcru expected to reach Zaniibar on the 20th inst. The Cameron expedition will proceed to Ujiji to obtain documents &nd property left by the doctor. The Cincinnati Times says that at the wedding of Victoria's boy and Alexander's daughter the bride's presents were elegant and recherche.
