lean truly say they merit at your
lauds the award ol well-done, good
md tail!.ful servants,
In reviewing beloro you to-day my
>\\ 11 action on the various important
iicasur s which it lias been my duty

provisions acceptable to the public
.neditor, sons to lighten the harden ot |
Luxation tor interest, and at the same
Lime to restore and maintain the lin.au;ial
honor and credit ot the State.
Ol the acts originating with myself,
[ will only mention the "fill to aid
ind encourage manufactures in this
St ate" by exempting all capita) investin
I hercaliev in any manufacturing inilnstry
front taxation for ten years, its
abject being the development of a
versified industry in our i-'tatr; and
iho joint resolution restricting i
the imhlication ot acts in the various |
new s papers ot the Slate to those only '
i>l public importance, V?y which the
puhlin expenditures in this direction
was reduced lyotn eightydive thousand
dollars in 1872 to thirty-live thousand
in 1873, a saving in this item ol fitly I
thousand dollars per year.
Among other measures for which I j
voted, I may mention as ot interest to
you, the hill providing that the public
printing should Ive let to the lowest]
responsible hiihh r, and prohibiting
any contract being made for it exceed- ;
ing fitly thousand dollars in any one
year, by means ot which it is eonti- ;
dently hoped that one ot the most j
fearful leaks in the public t rcasury may ,
be stopped; also the reduction at the
pay ol county treasures from eight per i
cent to five, by means ol which at i
hast eighty thousand dollars will he i
anually saved to the State and coun? j
lies; and that ju>t salutary provision j
in the new assessment law by which ,
County Uoardsot Kquab^atiou shall he j
appointed by the district Judge from j
among the tax-payers, and the removal
ot the restriction as to the reduction ol
the total amount below the aggaegato
value returned by the township assessors,
thus elVcctually preventing in the;
future any such enormous injustice as
was last year practiced against i|m
people ol .Mainm and niwpy. otlief j

NEWS: APRIL 11,
0 know that tli** Woodrufl* Trustee 1
Kill, an it was called, l>v which some 1
$200,000 was sought to ho transferred
Irom the public treasury to the pock- 1
i*ts of sundry inemheis of the House (
md Senate, did not become a law, as ,
lias been so generally supposed; al- 1 1
1 hough the honorable .1 ouo>, ol t jeorge- !
town, so earnestly endeavored to con- j
viuee Senators that they were fools to ;
vote so much money into other people's j
pockets and leave their own empty.
Lv.-i y v Io*e 1 has its silver lining, and ,
while I. as earnestly as any one, denounce
and deplore the reckless disregard
of all principles o! honor, holiest
v or common decenev. iiianifested I
!>y some of the members of both I
branches of i bo General Assi ml Iv, yet i
I cannot but regard the dcteat ot such j
a measure' as I .have juat mentioned, '
and other kindred project* which I;
have not now tune to touch upon, as' i
creditable to them a* a body and indicating
an Iionesty of pu'pose, which !
should inspire sumo small degree of
hope foy the future.
In surveying the situation of pub- ,
lioafVairs, no intel'igent man can be [
oblivious to the fact that a crisis is
fa-t .approach in g in t he poht ieal status,
ol this State sit least, it not in the nation,
Men everywhere fee! that matters
of government .are not satisfactory. '
I ho air ts fuil of murmurs of discontent,
which arc rapidiy swelling in
volume and dire portent to 'ho corrupt
tailors and legislators who have
so basely betrayed lite sacred interests
they were elect ? < I to conserve. That j
the people are oppressed and insulted; |
that their sub^taujc wrung It'oni them |
hy the inexorable m ichinerv < ! taxation
is wasted in rh?t? ns living; tluir
rcmoiist ranoes lloutcd, and aiiove all
i lie honor and good na me ol ' lieir Slatc
made a j. cr ami a moekerv among
men, are laels as obvious as lite noonday
sun, The question what can be
done to stay this swelling tide ol oppression,
eorruptmn and dishonor; is
upon the lip and in the heart o! every
man who has the least lingering aspirations
for w hat is good, true and upright;
but it is a question more easily
asked than answered.
A few weeks ago tlicra was conveiled
in Columbia a body of gentlemen
representing a largo proportion
ol the w ealth, t lie education and the
moral intelligence and principle of the
white people ot South Carolina. They
spent several days in mutual counsel
on this quest ion as to what could be
done to bring about a better state of
things. I gave particular attention to
their proceedings and conversed with
many of the in outside ot the couvent'on,
and while I give them all credit
as to their motives, which were doubt*
less to do all that oonM bo done to
better the condition ot things in Uii>
State, yet candor compels me to say
that as far as I can judge, very little
good results can bo hoped from the
action taken by them as a body. The
memorial to Congress can have no material
elleol as bearing upon the question
of party majorities or party
strength in this State. Some ot its
statements of tact are open to question
and dispute; m iulerenesin many w ays
will be construed as aimed not only at
the dominant party of this State, but
iu the nation as well, as being iu a
great measure responsible for the state
ol things complained of; ami it nowhere
admits that any error ol judgment
or action on the part of the white
people of the State has, in any way,
contributed to bring about the evils
under which the State now labors;
but things have not been unnoticed
elsewhere, and Congress will probably
reply that while deeply sympathizing
with the people ol South Carolina in
1 Iw.ll' In k'niiww) t- tlui ttvili! tli. n- I
aro how sutVering under, yet they can
do nothing, as Soul l> Carolina must rog
ulate ami govern ilnelt I?y ils own
people, and the educated auk intelligent
while man must patiently labor to ii?lbience
ami aid the ignorant ami bigot*
t il or prejudiced black man to bring
about a better state ol things. In reply
to this, some will say then there is
no hop*, (or i.s except in revolution, tor
the negro is wedded to his idols, and
isperiecily willing thai the present
state of things shall continue. I cannot
hut believe I hat the men who say
and think this allow their prejudices
to blind their judgment. I do not believe
that the negroes, as a whole, are
willing that this state of things shall
continue, or that they arc blind, or
indillerent to its inevitable results.
What is the meaning, let mo a^k, ol
the various letters recently published
in the columns ol the iVars and ('ourier,
from iho pen of Major Dclancy,
a prominent colored man, in which
the colored race are solemnly warned
that in a few years, at most, the withes
must, in the nature ??t things, regain
control ol tlu- political power ot the i
State, and ur?_riitLf them ikhv in the!
day of i heir jiewrr, to so use it thai it
may be reutcmhered in their favor
when lhe\ come to hi* in the minority;
or the stilling anil trumpet-toned titteranees
ol such men as Elliott, Cain.
Kansier ami Cardozo, all ol them colored
leaders of high position and influence?
po they not clearly recognize
ai.nl declare the responsibility of
their race lor the evils under which
the Stale is now groaning, and thai
while their political ignorance and inexperience
may be pleaded in extenuation
of the errors, ol tl,ie past, yet that
certain political destruction, awaits
tbeui in the future it they do not now
stand shoulder to shoulder in the cause
ot reform and honest government?
Says Elliott in a recent speech which

I am aware that efl'irts originating!'

I proclaim Unit, my voice ami vole
shall always he given in favor of those,
ami those only, whom t shall believe
to he honest and capable, without regard
to party name 01 aililiatious, yet
as I vie.v matters I think the attempt
to form any now party organization
now, cannot hilt work evl however
well intended. We must take fuels as
they are, and not as we would have
them. Nothing stands out more clearly
manifest to those who will view
ihis matter di (passionatly than that
the colored voter considers the permanent
domination of the Republican
party in this State as the palladium ol
his liberty, and he will suborn every
other consideration to that. We may
intlmmcc him to do his utmost to get
good men nominated us candidates,
hnt they must be the nominees of the
Republican party, or he will not vote
tor them, 't his being clearly the ease,
and they being an undoubted ami
overwhelming majority, what is our
plainest and most comnionscnsc rule j
?>l action? Clearly to do all in our
power to secure the nomination and j
elect ion ol men of character and integrity
by the Republican party itself;
and >1 in the pursuit ot this object it
becomes necessary lor those whose
feelings, interest and prejudices are all
in opposition to South Carolina Radicalism
to act in concert with the Republican
party, let them prove to
themselves and their lellow-eitizens
that the good of the State is of greater
moment, in their eyes than their own
personal feelings or wishes, and thai
lor the safely ol South Carolina they
can bear even the odium, it necessary,
ot serving it under the bated r.anm ot
radicalism. IMy fellow-citizens, do l
not understand mo ns saying this liecause
ot my claim he tore von at the
last election as being a Republican.
It' by the formation ot a new party,
which might start up pure and muletiled
from the errors and corruption of
those at present existing, I believed it
possible to win to ns colored votes
enough to insure the attainment of the
object we seek, I would be among
the first to hail with pleasure its advent,
and most devoted to work and
labor tor its success* but I can't be I
blind to the fact that although the
lime seems ripe far such a party in
the nation,, and we may and do hope
that the next presidential campaign will j
witness its triumphant success^and yet j
owing to the fact to which I have just
alluded, I he certainty of its being
looked upon by the colored people ot
ihis Stale as an effort to place the political
control in the hands of the JX*moeratio
party under a new name, it can |
only in my judgment result in defeat, i
and through its existence as a possible j
power may have the t. fleet of giving to |
the most corrupt ot the Radical leaders
the opportunity of driving every i
colored voter to their support, and
thus destroy and detent the hopes of
those honest. Republicans, who, rely- j
ing upon the moral aid ot the white i
people ot the State, are laboring earn- !
eslly to secure sucb action by the Re- j
publican party as shall result in re- j
deeming the State trom the hands ol |
the robbers who now despoil her, and ;
by honesty and economy in the admin- !
istration ol her affairs, restore her lost
name and tame, and start her anew j
upon a career of peace and prosperity. 1
In connection with this thought of
future hope lor the general prosperity
ot the tftute; the speaker referred to
the certain lumre prosperit y ot llorry
county, and that loo at 1.0 very rc(

make use ot, and apply the means
now within their power necessary to '
the developement of her resources!? I

The people ol this section of tho
Stale, and especially this county, are
isolated from the enjoyment ol many

conferred on them a right that prop rly

Alter Senator Dunn had concluded
his remarks Representative Cooper was
introduced to the audience, who entertained
them lor some time with a
rehearsal of the actings and doings of
the Legislature, agreeing with Senator
Dunn <mi all escntial points saving
and excepting the honesty of Mr.
Wesley's claim on the State for pay
ol 111ne Ridge Scrip.
At the conclusion ot Representative
Cooper's address, Col. Cillcspio
ollerred the billowing lesolution.
which was nnanimously adopted:
lie#wloeily That we eordialy approve
the course ol our Senator and the
Representative (who has just addressed
lis) in the late session of the
Legislature, and thank them lor their
zealous and taitluul discharge ot duty.
The late dispatches show that Connecticut
has gone 1 )enioca%it ie by a
decisive majority. They also show
that all the large towns in Ohio have
done the same thing, with a plain indication
that the State will do likewise.
