Letter From Hon. 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_ .
