B. F. Perry. (Irkrivii.i.k, S. C., March 13tb, 1871. To Hit Excellency Gov. Scott. Sin: T understand that you arc consulting your political opponents, in every section of the State, as to the Lest means of preserving order, pence and tho enforcement of tho laws in Sotith Carolina. You have invited prominent gentlemen throughout the State Jo meet yon in elite inatia'ilo and patriotic purpose. I hclicve, sir. that you are now sincere in this purpose, notwithstanding your 'Winchester rifle speech" in Washington a 1 year or two since, in which you fiendishly proclaimed that this instrument of donth, in the hands of the no ros of South Carolina, was the most effective means of mnintaining order and quiet in tho Stnte. I rejoice to find that a change bos come over tho spirit of your thoughts and actions ; and I, for one, am ready and willing, with all the good people of the State, to sustain you in yourpreseut course.? The tone and temper of your recent message to tho Legislature is evidcnco of your sincerity. Permit me to say to you, sir, in all candor and aineerWv lli?? th? ?f !> t-.u ' onto, unmistakably to my wind, that we nro on the eve of a bloody tumultuous commotion, unless something is done to quiet public opiti* t ion. The ineendiary destruction of property I every night, and tbo roguery of the Legists- ' ture in their appropriations and taxation, amounting ultimately to confiscation of all f real and personal estate, cannot be borne much , longer. There ia a point beyond which hu- t man endurance cannot go, let the consequences * be what they may. . I know it is not in your power to reform the j Legislature, or stay effectually their corrup- , tion, bribery, prodigality and roguery. But . there are two things which yon can do and < should do, the sooner the better?disarm your 1 militia and appoint good and intelligent men 1 to office. All tbo lawlessness and wiolenoe 1 which have disgraced tbo State have been ( owing to these two sources of mischief. Never < was thure a more fatal mistake, or a more die bolical wrong committed, than when you or- 1 gunised oolored troops throughout thn State and put aims into tbpir hands, with powder and ball, and denied the same to tho white peo. ( pie. It was atrocious. The bloody tragedy i at Laurens was owing to this, and nothing else. The murder of Stevens and other while 1 men at Union by one of your negro companies, and thu subsequent execution of ten colored prisoners was owing to the same cause. Tbo foarful killing and murder of a number of men at Chester was likewise owing to your colored militia. The violence and lawlessness at Yorkville originated in one of your worthless appointments. Heretofore, your appointments have been mostly made of ignorant and oorrupt men, who cannot enforce the law* and preserve the peoco. The colored poopte of Sonth Carolina behaved well during our civil war, and would have continued to have done so, but for tbo unprincipled earpet-bagger who came amongst them and stirred up hat rod to the white raee by the most artful and devilish appeal* to their fears and had passions. Unprincipled white men living amongst us. aaeing an opportunity ot office and-plunder, joined the carpetbaggers. These two elaases united in persuading the negros that they would he put 1 baek in slavery, and that tbey mast apply the torob to redress their supposed wrongs I It is not surprising that a people so ignorant and eredulou* as the negros are, should thus have been led astray. They were told that lands would be given them and their children educated. Hundreds of thousands of dollars bare been appropriated for-this purpose, and all squandered and stolen by their pretended friends A mnltlnlUU- -as t_ . ..???. .. vi uuicvi ii?t? r*een ] created to reward political partisans j salaries hive been increased, millions appropriated for railroads,-end the most extravagant waste of pnhlio moneys in every way I The public officers and the members of the Leglsla'ure are charged with the most shamelass corruption, bribery and roguery.
