collected in the past year to meet our pres-1 e ent obligations. The goverument of the \ state has failed to stretch its potent arm a and give that protection against lawless- j ii ness to its citizens which they were entitled v to by virtue of their mauhood and citizen- o ship. e Because some one had been so connected v with the resources of the state that they j n dared not do their duty lest the bonds p which they held would fall in price and t thus be losers. Who is responsible? a I charge the man for whom I have labored 1 c honestly, zealously and as often as any \ other man in South Carolina. a I charge home to day on Governor Scott c the trouble that has fallen upon us, * p ****** * Governor Scott more than any other man ii is chargable with the fact that the United o States government has beeu compelled to ti step in and arrest the Ku klux and bring o them to trial. s< I have told you that I have labored for ei him honestly and zealously aud with what f* ever ability I possessed, but I assert today that it shall be used to bring him to q justice, and to justify that party to which h vou and I belong, to that party which I b man who has roDOea tne siate aou ues- i troyed all that is honorable in it. I in-! tend to fight it out to the better end, and C if they will not answer what I have asserted, I will again call upon your representatives to vote for impeachment aud if I fail to reach him who has destroyed the credit and committfd the most glaring out- a rage upon the taxpayers of the state, I will come to you the people, and from 1 every stump, grove and village, 1 will J proclaim the the iufamy of which I speak toy u to day; I think there is in you the power to adminisftr that redress that the legislature fail to give. I iutend to light Iit out on the Republican platform and nothing that they can do could make me w forsake that party, that brought home to you and me, the freedom that we en joy. I know that storms which break over our ship of state might dismay some men but it doe* not dishearten me. I have j unbounded failh in the words of the poet, 1 1 1 nth crtishwl to earth will ris-i a^ain, J The eternal years of < ?<xl are hers, Jitit error wounded writhes in pain, VikI dies amid her wot>hij?j*T?." In speaking of the number of votes given for impeachment, he remarked that there were ouly twelve Republicans, the remainder of the twenty-seven'being Democrats and Reformers, who dared to vote for it in the face of sixty-four thousand dollars flaunted before their eyes. Of the TWnfnrt countv reDreseututives, he alone | H was in his seat when the vote was taken. F In conclusion he said, yearc hence, when tl looking back to these times, recounting the : R splendid triumphs of the Republican party in the progress of reconstruction in this l; state, we will lick with these the Dudleys, di the Nances, and others of glorious mem- : ory, who lost their lives in honestly labor- ol ing for the cause of our party. But with far different emotions we will remember the traitors who betrayed us and the cause made sacred bv the blood stained graves of Randolph, Martin, Dill, t Perrin and the long line of murdered Re- j g( publicans upon whose graves we write , "Unknown." Among those will be Gov. Scott as the man most instrumental in bringing to us our present humiliations and financial troubles. GENERAL SMALLS DEFENDS HIMSELF. I Gen. Smal's arose here to an explanar tion, he said that the gentleman had said ! ' that when he looked around him, when ^ the impeachment question came up, not a ra single representative from Beaufort was in y his seat. lie wished to explain to those present, that he had no seat iu the House, ^ that his seat was in another branch of the ^ legislature, and he expected always to be i found in his seat there when the interests j ^ of his constituency* were at stake, that as jj member of the Senate he would sit injudg- j$ ment on the impeachment of these men, ]] when they were arraigned before him, ]? charged with the high crime of which they ? had been accused, and it would have ]<; been unbecoming of him to express him- j( self as to the guilt or inn cence of these a; parties until they were brought fairly before the branch of the legislature of which b he was a member. And although not a ti member of the House of Representatives, it he was a representative of the people, and to them answerable for his course. P SPEECH OF HON. SAML. GREEN. (Geu. Smalls having defined himself, the Hon. Saml. Green, said that he wished to place himself and his colleagues ^ light before the people. It had been stated by Mr. AVhipper, that when the im- h peaehtuent question came up, that he 1i alone of all the Beaufort delegation was <! H* there to meet the issue. In reply to that S ; he had to say, he was very much surprised 1 that anybody but Mr. Whipper was pr.s- s? ent. lie had used his utmost exertions to tl |p discover when the question was actually W coming before the Ilouse but he hadj)eeo trust will ever hold the reins of power in V this State and in the national government, d I have been charged with going over to the Democracy. I leave the refutation of ^ the assertion to the people of this State. The people of this County know me and know that I shall ever connect myself to A the Republican party, but I will hold up w these men at any hazard who have brought ^ upon us disaster and dishonor, and have ruined the state government, in every particular that goes to make it a successful lj government. I nave made assertions here ir to-day (for every word of which I hold fo myself responsible) I dare and have charg- j ed Gov. Scott with robbing the state, and I g will tell you why I charge him; Of the a $15,000,000 of bonds in the market, he has 0j failed in his estimates to account for $0,- tl 314,000.. it I have stated here nothing more than I g have stated when his cohorts and rain- = nions were present, but I trust there are " none here, but if there are, 1 will challenge them to contradict any statement I have made. I have stated nothing but what I can support by evidence. I as chairman of the committee of Ways and L Means shall be called upon to make an appropriation to meet this six millions three hundred and foui teen thousand dollars unaccounted for, but I will not sanction any appropriation to meet the demand of that * 1 -X 1-3 -1 ntirely unsuccessful. Nobody but Mr. Vhipper and Mr. Bowen knew. The mount of the business was they were waitag for bids. The question was how much rill you give, Gov. Scott, if we withdraw ur impeachment resolution? Not whethr he was guilty of any crime or not. He ras ready and so were his colleagues, to aeet the issue when it came. lie was not irepared to say what had become of all he six million of bonds that had been illeged were stolen, but when the time omes, he was prepared to prove that Mr. Vhipper knew very well what became of part of them. Part of them, he asserted, ame into the possession of W. J. Whip, er. lie was anxious as any one to have this aud if fraud there had been, ferreted ut, and the guilty parties brought to jusce, b it for the success of any resolutions fthat kind, he hoped and prayed that )me member with a better record than ither Mr. Whipper or Mr. Bowen, would ither it. It was distinctly understood that the uestion was not to come up until after the olidays, and with that understanding he elieved all the delegation except Mr. Vhipper left for their homes on Thursay. Judge Wright and Hon. J. N. Hayne 'ere on hand, but owing to the lateness in ae day they declined to speak. Capt. lorrison then took the stand, and when re lefc was delivering one of his characiristic speeches to the delighted crowd. The appointment of ex-Senator Wil ams, ot Uregon, as Attorney general, 1 the place of Akerman, is one that will e generally applauded by the people, udge Williams is an able lawyer and an onest and upright man, who will adorn ny statiod in life to which the partiality f his fellow-citizens may call him. We lought the President did an unwise act i the appointment of Akerman, in the rst place.
