To the $emtc and. Jioase of Jtcpre-r sentatwes of the Congress of the United States: IThe memorial of the tax-payers -<nctather-<jitizen? of South Carolia respectfully sheweth :s That upon the reconstruction of ie State Government, and admisM?n of Senators and Roprcsenta.es iuto the Congress of the Uni d States, it was doubtless intend l by Congress, as it was. expected ;y tliein, that they would become urtakers of the lights enjoyed by jitizens of the United states and >f other State Governments. The iistory of the country teaches that .ixation without representation is , rr.'nny; our revolutionary fathers ombiued to resist such tyranny; nd we teel assured that it was ever the intention ot the sons of >jose tneu to allow their very systo be fastened upon any of > eir feflow-citizens. It has, nev .heless, come to pass that the Tovernment established in South ./Zirolina, under the legislation of congress, has been made the inrtruroent of. effecting this moiltrous oppression. That departlent oi the State Government "vlfcich exercises the taxing power s administered by those who own mere fraction of the property of ie Slate. Seven years have elaps>?' since the reconstruction of the ate Government; and during '.i.':t period,'of the property taxed, majority of the members of the ^gislature owned no part whatever, and the remaining mem-rs owned so little that their pay \ ts members counterbalanced their ; entire interests as property holders. The result i3 that those own- 1 ing the property have no voice in the Government, and those impos.ng the taxes no share in the bur- * den thereof; . 1 - -.he taxes have advanced yearly | until, in" many cases, they consume <ni>re than one-half of the income j Vom. the property taxed.

It has been j openly avowed by prominent mem- f v.bers of the Legislature that the '( raxes Bhoukl be increased to a point t which will compel! the sale of the j <rreat body of land and take it q ~ away from the former owners. The ^ fruit of this poli.cy is shown in the ' - J ^ J .1 T- . ii. . r*\ i____ II n ?... S^aieu py, j^e.vompu\>uer-v*uu.- g ecal in. his official report, tliut for c default in the payment of taxes for = the year 1872 alone,268,533 acres ^ . of land were forfeited to the State. . And this result proves the fallacy v of the belief that the policy pur- ;) sued promotes the elevation of the ^ black- population, ajid- th6 acquisition by them of the lands thus vir- | rually confiscated. The reverse-:t3 g *he'* 'fiecussary Result Lands are e unavailable as security; mortgages .in default of payment cannot sell; 7!?agcs liave declined; the cost ofiy living is made greater by the addi-|c tion of the taxes to tjio price ofj -*oe??ifiddities r the poof /.are' 'made I poprcr, and rendered every day j more incapable of purchasing lands, and more hopeless of rising- above the condition of mere laborers. It j&oujkl 'have ameliorated the condi- J of your petioners if the effect of this policy Had been to create t . an active demand for lands on the s part ,of this large class pf our pop. ? Nation. But \vhile the owners are, t by oppressive taxation, driven to ti Bell, others fotf the same reason are [ disqualified from buying. s Thn n buses in the Legislative 1 Department, that have been describ-1" e<ST.are not confined to the mere ? raising and" expenditure of revenues iut they pervade the entire conduct a of the department. Schemes have t been devised for issuing State bonds s iind for contracting other loans, by s Avhich the public debt has in six'} ' years been raised from ?5,000,000'r .to ?16,000,000; and that without 3ti#ancing any public work, adding one dollar to the public property or p to the payment o?.the public debt, u jis the sum of the public I) debt is admitted to be, there is,b reason ito believe it does not reach a i-hp-j^ue amount; it is found impos-i'1 wible io ascertain the actual sum ofi fhe obligations that have been issucd.?Schemes of public plunder 8 m * ? * . a i _ nave been openly auvnnceci uy cor.'/bpt measures, of which ono^inglo example will suffice. Two Clerks sj of the Legislature, in their official in enpucity, made contracts with them- pi ? ' ' " J v selves, as private persons,-for the public 'printing. The appropriations made in one year for the work done and to be done, by these two officials, amounted to $475,000, exclusive or$100,000 for publishing the laws. Aad in the fiscal year 1873 there was actually paid to them for printing $831,000, leaving a large sum still due by the State. And this, notwithstanding the avowal of the two officials themselves, that .the work done was worth no more than $10%g.QQ;.And flip tftstfmnnv of others -that its value was only $50,000. The stupendous fraud involved in this and similar modes of making the legitimate objects of public expenditure the medium of plundering the treasury, cannot be better illustrated than by the following facts: The total appropriations for public printing made by the Legislature of South Carolina, during a period oi sixty years, from 1800 to 1859, is 8271,160. During the last year the amount actually expended for public printing In- the present Legislature was $331,945. This is ?60,765 more than it cost the State for sixty years before the war. Committees have received large sums as compensation for reporting favorably on private bills; and strong reasons exist for believing that a large amount of State bank bills, funded by the State to discbarge her liability, have been reissued by those entrusted bj' the Legislature with the cancellation thereof. In the Judiciary Department, evils equally grievous have been produced under the present State Government. The Judges hold their offices for short terms. Their coutinuance in office depends upon the caprices of the legislators. The result is, that the duties of their high office are discharged under influences and responsibilities necessarily adverse to the independent administration of justice. The jurors, moreover, are selected by three officials, of. whom two are the appointees of the Governor. The consequence is, that the defeat of an obnoxious litagant may be made certain by the selection of the jury. Or if no special object be contemplated by these officials, the choice is frequently made, Bimply for the small pay, of men who arc unable to either react or write. In cither case the ends of justice arc defeated. In the Executive Department all these evils culminate. It is openly asserted and believed that offices are the subject of barter; arid the manner in which such offices are administered proves that qualiiication has little influence in the appointments. In matters under the control of a single individual, it is difficult to prove corruption; but there is one state of facts that always stands for proof. A lar^c ex- i penditure of money by an official, 1 who is without any e9tatc and receives but a moderalc salaiy, establishes beyond a doubt that the money must come from somcirre<<i /%_ A: :? uuirsource. uu mis pi-iiii-ipm, uiu two Governors elected under the present Constitution stand coniemned in public opinion, To detect and punish these crimes is impossible; the Governor controls the avenues of justice. Indeed :he eutire system is one of self- 1 uistaining and self-protecting cor- 1 'uption. In most of tho State?, there|J night be some chance of redress ' hrough the ballot-box. But here, 1 igain, the State Government inter- ! )Oses an insuperable barrier. The ' 'lections are conducted by persons ippointed in the interest of the 1 >fficials, and the returns are under he absolute control of the parties ] u power. Under such circum- 1 tances, voting is a form and elec- ( ions a mockery. 1 Suffering under such grievances, ' md despairing of relief from this 1 government, your memorialists tome respectfully to your honora- 1 i i?1_ c j mi.? ; no uou v ior reuruss. jl uu guverii- 1 nent which thus oppresses us was 1 'irtunlly estaT>lishetl by Congress; ( md while we believe they did not ' oresee the evils to which it lias 1 riven rise, we cannot doubt that hey will assist in removing them, i o soon as the}7 are satisfied of their ( xistence.

That the coiuraitteo have carefully considered the resolutions and papers touching white immigration into this State. ' 2. That a sub committee was appointed to confer with the State Grange, Patronsof Husbandry,but rloolinpfl i 111*3 uaillgu ICnpCLliUIIJ y? - ? . . . . t ns the Patrons were constitutional- \ ly debarred from acting with any other body. ' ? 3. That Mr. Frank Melchers, of j Charleston, lias introduced 800 ? immigrants in the State, and that ] he has orders for a large additional ] number; that he has in his posses- 1 sion ?5,000 to be expended in the i introduction of additional irnmi- < grants; he has twenty agents in various towns and cities in Germa- i ny.' ] 4.

That the main obstacles that I have been met by those engaged in ] this praiseworthy work, has been to ] overcome the prejudices that have l been studiously infused into the i minds of the immigrants in the s Old "World and in this country by < the agents of the North-west I against the entire South, misrepre- I senting the spirit of our people to- ? wards the immigrants, the cheap- j ness of our lanas, the fertility of our soil, the health and m.ldness of < our climate, the lines of steamships 1 to New York, in conjunction with J 'theinfluence of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and the inducements 1 held out to them for the purchase of lands. ! G. That they can compete with t them successfully by having a line t between Charleston aud Liverpool h or Bremen. The railroads in the t State should transport the immi- * grants at the lowest possible cost, 1 for they will be paid in the future f by the transportation of the pro- 1 ducts of their labor. 1 7. That our country, not being e covered for nearly half the year by t snow, and where the laborer is not compelled to spend in winter what f( he has made in summer, and when ii he can work in the open air from t year to year, presents unusual ad- li .tni.ln r\ flirt inwninri*nnf U'linvo tl \ (IllUigWO IV/ UIV |( liVI VI ' their prejudices are dispelled, and ? our real advantages are made ^ known. - t.1 8. The average value of the land in the North is ^40 per acre, while f in the South it is but $3.36; we a grow all the cereals and make the short and long staple cotton, and rice, and they are the best market crops in the world. 9. The immigrants should be c settled in the most healthy portion of the State ; that they should be treated with the greatest kindness and guarded from the practices of the sharpers; be provided with good houses; churches erected for them, and school houses established for the education of their chil- c dren. They have been accustomed a toil different kind of a diet which 0 we have been accustomed to a dif- 8 ferent kind of a diet which we |j have been accustomed to allow the negro laborer ; that a peck of meal 11 ind three pounds of bacon is not a u suitable diet for them, and .that ivould tend to disgust and dissatis- . fy them. . " 10. That the advantage? to accrue 'o us from the introduction of white rr' immigrants can hardly be estimat- ^ id should we cive them every al :crnate section, which will more s( :han quadruple the remaiuder in ir ralue. 11. That the aggregate white rote of the Sjate does not exceed ?p 36,000 pro rata; the honest colored v< rote would not exceed thirty per ;ent. more, which would require js to overcome a majority of about 18,000 at the ballot-box. g 12. It we introduce 18,000 immigrants, who will have an inter- ,.? ist in the developcinent of the state, it would save the State from lie ruinous expenditures which . ire represented as its current ex- r( >enscs. For instance, the expenies of the State in 1865-^6 . vere $266,244 14, and in 1873, ?1,- 1,1 rl 7,318.60' Yet wjtli tliitf enornous expenditure there still exists ?I leticiences to the amount of $540,128, Jf the State was in the hands of >f honest officials, these enormities ' vould be corrected, and in a few m ears the present expenditures of ~~ he State would be reduced to the )asis of 1865 and 1866. There are iow ten Counties in the State with vhite minorities, and there arc welve others which, with the in- P roduetion of a few hundred imnii- " grants, and a firm and united effort >u the part of the white vote, night be added to them, which ~ von Id give us such a representation n the General Assembly as would >Iace the control of taxation in the lands of honest officials. lir The committee,therefore, recom- ? nend the adoption of the follow- "M ng resolutions: Resolvedt That this convention do t nnnn orp-nnize a Bureau of Im-1 T nigration, to consist of one com- Jt nissioner for the State at large and ^ ?ne commissioner for each County 11 the State, to reside at or near he County seat. ^ Resolved., That the said Commisioners of Immigration shall l>e lected by tliis convention as soon ? fter the adoption of these resolu-j^ ions as may he found convenient.;^ Jlcsolvcd, That it shall be the du- be y of the commissioner of the itate at large, in connection with t uch assistance and agencies as he ] nay see"fit to establish and appoint n the city of New York,*or eltevhere, and by any other means vliich, in his judgment, may be jest calculated to effect.the object, o induce, promote and" encourage vhite immigration to this State, le shall also, from time to time, as ic may deem necessary, publish a itatcment of such advantages as his State offers in soil, climate, productions, social improvements, itc., to the industrious, honest, frugal immigrants, no matter from vhat State or country he comes.
