Our Washington Correspondence. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2d, 73. I have yet to see the first senator or representative who does not admit that the reasoning which seeks to justify the retroactive legislation initiated by Butler of Massachusetts, by which some 81,000, 000 of tho money of this heavily-taxed people were taken from their treasury, immediately after the adjournment of the 42d Congress, and divided among the members of that delectable body, would apply with equal propriety to an act for giving oxtra pay to tho members of the 41st or any other preceding Congress, .even back to thc 1st Congress-for that matter, even to all the member of all preceding Congresses, or their heirs. The .-? only difference would bein degree and application*. There would be none in principle. If this kind of l?gislation ip constitutional, the organic law needs ? little mere " tinkering,'.' or we shall wake up ono fine morning and find But - 1er and his gang; carting away .from thc .publi? treasury.our entire pilo, having acquired the right to do si, the night be fore, by the simple process of a majority vote, and the approval of a coarse-grain ed, underbred presidents to whom hail been awarded, for his official signature, a lion's share of the booty. Never before was there such a bare faced breach of trust committed by a legi *. islative body, perhaps because never be* fore was there congregated under one roof, a representative body containing so many unscrupulous men under a leader educated and qualified for the infamous position by a life-long association with criminals, and enriched by his shares o? the proceeds of their crimes turned oxer to him for defending them-tor having, In other words, time, time and again, .consented to become, for a pecuniary oon * aideration, a professional ** accessory af ter the tact" to any crime on the calendar. Ben Butler has done more toward de bauching Congress than any other ten men have done, collectively, since the formation of the government. He takes to a thief, a swindler or a murderer as naturally as a duck takes to water. He has converted the House of Representa tive* into a criminal court room, arid in troduced into ii the slang, the tricks and the cunning of the Old Bailey. He has . been the professional defender of every swindle and other dishonorable act com mitted by members of Congress ever since the House has been polluted 1 y his presence-from the sale of cadet-ships to the Credit Mobilier swindle. No other man would have dared Introduce the re troactive clause In the salary bill. The thing was too barefaced for any man but a professional criminal or a criminal law yer to attempt. Just look at the facts. Butler and his accomplices had con tracted to work for the people of the Uni ted States for a period ot two years, eacb workman to receives certain yearly salar ry and other stipulated allowances. Em ployers and employees understood thc terms. It is not contended that there was any misunderstanding. Not a word re garding the insufficiency of the compen sation agreed upon was raised. Had an}' one of them-even expressed simple dis. satisfaction on that score, he would have been set asido quicker than lightning. The market waa glutted with eager aspi: rants for the positions. Hundreds of abl?i and honester men than many of those chosen would have been glad* to do thc work for half the wages. But the mer selected were all anxious to serve, anc many of them moved heaven and cart! to secure their places. The terms of theil contract were more favorable to then than to their employers; for they wen not even required by it to complete thei term of service, it being understood tba they should have the privilege of iermi nating the engagement at anyhour, with out assigning any reason for the act, an< that thev should* receive pav for as loni as they had served, while their employ ere bound themselves to retain them ?i the pay-roll for two years, howdver in competent they might prove themselves provided they conformed to certain rule and regulations which th?y wore gener ously empowered by said employers t< establish for themselves. ? contrac more intelligible, more generous to em ployees, could not have been devised And so the latter apparently regarded it for not a whisper of dissatisfaction wa: heard until within a few hours of tin closo of tho session, when, instigated b} this man, Butler, who had previously se cured as a pal the President of the Uni ted States by a bribe of ?100,000 stoiei money, they suddenly ignored their con tract, took the bold, piratical ground tba they were entitled to as much money a they wanted, seized upon $1,000,000 o their employers' funds, for the economi cal and just disbursement of which the; were theconfidential and well paid agenti divided it up among themselves, and in continently adjourned amid thc execra ti'-ns of an outraged people. That's ai there is about it, II has boen so long the fashion, all ove; tba North, to depreciate the business ca Eacity of Southerners, that many of UK titer have? at length assumed as'an axi om the proposition that they are natu rally inferior in that respect ito men bon and bred' nor: li of Mason and IMxon'i line, and are waiting for thc "infusion b Northern blocd" so complacently claim ed, by New Englanders especially, to bc a sine qua non to material progress in tin South. Now, this Ls sheer humbug, an< is doing more; to retard progress then than all other causes combined. Tin comparatively stagnant condition of af Curs at the South is nor the rosseqn?ncc of an inherent incapacity ol'its nativi citizens to grapple with and overcome natural obstacles to material progresa; nor does it arise from any influenced! climate or soil unfavorable to the phvsi cal development of the individual, of tc the successful and remunerative, prose cution of thc industries. Tho condition of tho South is simply and .so/Hi/ the le gitimate result ol' the circumstances bj which the people were surrounded foi several generations. But, those ci ronni stance? no longer existing; their in flu cr.ee is gradually disappearing, and al ready those men who have wholly OJ partially emancipated themselves from i arc displaying, in business enterprise capacity and energy that challenge ad m i ration, and justify tile belief that, ? few yearn hence, when the young Sont! ?hall havo adapted itself to the new or der of things, we shall hear no more o this senseless twaddle about tho innati superiority ol" Northern men for busbies: pursuits " Two men, for example, te whom the people ol' tho United State are largely indebted for having trans farmed the National Capital, within i few yean., from a dirty, straggling, neg lecte*d, overgrown village, thc butt an? by-word of travelers and writers, int? one of the most delightful cities in Amer lea, were born and bred on the Southen aide of Mason and Dixon's linc. One <> them, A. R. Shepherd, vice-President o the Board of Public Works, is a uativi of Wasnington, -and has never reshlee nor done business anywhere else ; yet i is safe to say that not one? among tin most successful.men of the North had, a bis age, (far-Shepherd is a young man conferred more irtib-tantial benefits ot his fellow-citizens than has this same Washingtonian on his.. The other tc whom I refer is Col. Jamea'A.'Magruder, Treasurer of tho Board, a Marylander bj birth, but a resident of this'District frorri his infancy. It would bono easy mattel to find a riian,who possess?rjnore varied qualificati'ins.than Magruder for the sue cessful prosecution of large public or private enterprises. Even those of his neighbors whom ho has loflfended by his quick temper and positive character, look upon him w'tb a.certaln sort of pride, a? one of thei ? principal represtenterti ve men. One of .th ese remarked Ja my hearing, a few days ago, in a little coterie in which Washington, its prospects ?md.lt? public men were being discussed : "Gentlemen, it's no use talking. I've known Jim Magruder since wo were boys together, andl'm no friend of.his, nor is he a friend sf mine; but that don't hinder me from saying that I know him to bo an .honest man as a private citizen and a public officer, and that there's no mwre able man to be found anywhere. Talk about Yankees f I'll back him for capaci ty, industry, pluck andpertinacity, sutfl cient to con?oive, manage and success fully complete any project, however large, against any Yankee you can trot out This District owes a good deal to Jim Magruder." What the South really wants' is Hot **an infusion of Northern blood" so much as native Shepherds and Magru ders. A. P.

THE ADVERTISER. Edgelield, S. C., April 10, 1873. The Investigation Meeting em' Monday * last. ' v On Monday last, according to previous call, our citizens assembled in Afcirge numbers in the Court,, House,' Tor -the purpose of discussing' tho wisdom and practicability of inv estimating the public indebtedness of Fdgetieid County, which, under Radical rule, has become so mys teriously (?) enormous. ? Tho Meeting was called to order by Mr. J. C. Sheppard, who proposed Capt. Lewis Jones tis Chairman, and John R. Abney and Jas. T. Bacon as Secretaries. The Meeting accepting these gentlemen unanimously, "the Chairman proceeded to state,briefly theobjeetdf theoccasion. Dr.-D. C. Tompkins moved that a Com mittee of three be appointed by the Chair to draft suitable resolutions for the con sideration of the Meeting. Upon motion 'of Col "H. W. i&a'fsojn-^?fj ^dte^Aod black, taxpayer anet non taxpayer 'might have a place upon it-this Committee ? Vt?is increased to 'seven. . rfhe Chair ap pointed D. C. Tompkins John Huiet, W. PI. Timmerman, J. C. Sheppard, Lymus Simmons, Lawrence Cain and Wallace .Morgan-the last three, colorad. JLaw . renco Cain not being present, was dill od, ' tut answered-not. * - . During the absence of the Committee, Col. H. W. Addison, being called for by many citizens, addreased the Meeting In a very sensible and vigorous manner, upon the subject under consideration. Col. A. spoke principally to the colored people, of whom many were present, and who listened to his statements and his warnings with'evident realisation of their truth. After Col. Addison, Jesse Jones, a young colored man. of our town, was called for. He came forward prompt ly, saying that he knew very dark things and was not afraid to tell them. He called the County Treasurer, MdDevitt, boldly by name, and alleged that ne had " forged checks upon colored men and put the money in his own pocket,'.' and that 44 his skirt hurig thick with thieve ry." The Committee now returned and re ported the following Preamble and Reso , lutions, which were read by Mr. J. C. ; Sheppard: . PREAMBLE AND R?SOLUTIONS. WHEREAS, reports are in circulation . in regard to the conduct, by certain i County Officials, of their respective offl. ces, which reflect gravely upon the in ] tegrity of said Officials, which create ap i prehension in the public mind as to the . faithfulness of the public servants in thc \ discharge of their -respective duties, and , which render it ominentlvf proper and i desirable-both on the part of the said ' officials, and in behalf of all men inter '. ested in the welfare of the County-that ; inquiries be instituted into the nature ' and truth of the said charges. J AND WHEREAS, a large number ol , citizens of the County of Edgefield, be r ing desirous of ascertaining tho indebt 1 edness of the County, the misapplication j! of the public funds-if any there be i and of investigation of the County finan ces generally* have invited their fellow j citizens, without regard to party, to in r stitute such proceedings as may be ne - cessary to accomplish said objects. 1 Therefore oe it resolved, by the people ot' Fditefield County in public meeting *. assembled ; First : That the financial condition o: ^ Edgelield County demands a {lioro?gli .- investigation of thc books and conduci - of its County Officials, to ascertain its present indebtedness, how it lia* arisen, ; and how it can be liquidated ; the pu bi u & delimiters, and the amount of their de e {ideation ; and that in order to make this f i ;v.'stigatiou ?sean hing and thorough, t - comuiiuee consisting ol' John Huiet, - Chairman, R A.

Third t That the Committee are re Hjested to report fo tiio Chairman, any vacancy which may ohi.-ijr by the failure Sf any member thereof w. Sprve, and thereupon he shall fill such vacuuvy im mediately. Fourfy; THat the Committee are earn estly requested to commence their, in vestigations forthwith, and to pursue them vigorously to a result, In the cause " il* public patriotism, public justice, and public honesty. Before the endorsement of the Pream ble and Resolutions wa? put to vote, Mr. ?J. R .Abney proposed ' the allowing Amendment: Resolved, That the Committee appoint 1 ed to investigate the hooks of thio bounty - officers apprise the present Board ol . County Commissioners of all officers 1 who have not discharged fid th fully th? 1 duties of their offices, and request said - Commissioners,!** the representatives ol * thc monetary interest of the County, tc 5 bringelvM actions against the bond ol ? ovory officer guilty of such neglect. s Resolved far tlier, That ?aid Committee make a demand, through the presenl i County officers respectively, upon theil . predecessors, for an exhibit of the books, 1 vouchers, and papers' pertaining to each , office, ancrnow retained hy said prede : cessors, or Any .one of .them* and in ease 5 of a refusal1 to" deliver up and turn ovei j said books, vouchers and papers that thc j Committee notify tho solicitor of this > .1 udicial Circuit of such resfusal, and re ] qnest that an indictment bo brought foi t such infraction of the law. | This Amendment was opposed by Dr, I). C. Tompkins and Mr. J. C. Sheppard, i Or. T. seizing the occasion to make sc ' bluff, hearty and ad captandum a speech 1 to the negroes as called forth their most r vehement applause. Messrs Abney abd i Sheppard, pro and con,, as regards thc ' Aniendmont, spoke with much fire and ability. Tho Amondment was lost by . 'i votes. . . ?.' Mr. J. C. Sheppard proposed the fol lowing Amendment, which wasadopted: JRcsolvcd, That the Committee are au thorized and requested to call a meeting of tho people of the County whonevor in their j udgment it is advisable and proper. Hereupon the Report and Resolutions of the Committee were unanimously en dorsed, and the Meeting adjourned. And now that the effort is to be made to find out'what becomes of all the money we pay every year for Conney purposes, we call upon all good citizens, in what ever section, who maybe in possession of fact? or information bearing upon the case to come forward promptly, in. person or otherwise, and give said facto or in formation to the Committee. Iii fact this is the formal request of the Committee, and should be quickly and conscientious ly complied with by all friends of publie probity and prosperity. Col. John Huiet, Chairman of the Committee, requests the members of the same to meet at tho Court House at tv.-o o'clock on Friday afternoon next 11th inst. He urges promptness and punctuality.

Upshot of n Georgia Lottery Scheme. The long-talked-of and off-deferred Drawing of the Confederate Moaume.'.U1. Lottery Scheme of Augusta, took place on Monday last, al GirardoV's Opera House. About 1500 tickets were sold, leaving the managers only about $2500 for distribution In prizes, after deducting the fund (ten per oent.) for the monu ment and necessary expenses. This 82500 was divided Into 183 prizes ;' four of $100; four of $90 ; fifty of $15 ; -ten of $20 ; ano Xorty of $5. Persons in Augusta drew prizes aggregating $275. The scheme was a failure, Jn'so fer as it secured sid or encoui-agement to a Soldiers' Monument. All these 9che?ies?are;"emphatically fail ures, as regards encouraging the causes in behalf of which they are announced Let us Denounce Elven thc Very Shadows and Outlines. In Columbia there isa new excitement over tho vexatious and oft-recurring question of no distinction on "account ol race, color or previous condition." Il seems that tho Professors o? the Univer sity are to deliver a course of lectures, At the first one, a week ago, by Babbit, the Northern man, Justice Wright of thi Supreme Court, a negro of the puresl type, and, we should judge, stupid, igno rant and egotistical, was about the firs! to enter the Hall. The ushers (students; seated him in a certain s*ectior?, from which stand-point he watched closely, and discovered that negroes were to bc seated all together and all " on the left.'' This infuriated the negro magnate, and he has dealt heavily upon the question in the Radical papers. He ferrets oui the fact that the faculty bad discussed the matter and decided there' should bc no distinction, but that (he students, whe .wore appointed ushers, arranged other wise. The negro says -thefaculty are te blame for their want of control, and thal till such doings must cease at once, if tho faculty did decide as the ncgrc says, then they deserve reproach, and the University is no longer a place for th? young men of South Carolina. And no paper in South Carolina does its duty, or is properly mindful of white women and children, or is manly, inde pendent or decent, that does not prompt ly denounce all shadows and outlines O? social equality. We call upon the press from WalhalU td Charleston, and from Cheraw to Beau fort, to do its duty. For the Advertiser. To E?it?v Of the A dvertiser : .
