[Applauso anc Aheers.] Much has ben said of the greal uinanity of the preseint Adminis ration toward the remnant o hat warrior race, tho Aborigineci f this country, who have been iriven beforo the civilization o: lie white man to the far distani Western Plains. WVhat wvill th< utuire historian say of' the mnurdei ii cold blood of 150 women ant bhilren of' the Piegan Indiar ri be, at the dawn of day, befor< hey had risen from their couches' Voes, of' the massacre of' tender in aiits at their mother's' breasts,am 11n( yeCt not 0on0 woriid of' condem tation of' this diabolical Crime ha: sver emanated from the lips of th< LPresident, so far as we bavo beer 1ble to learn. Whleroc is the comnmercial ma 'inc of' the country, whiichi a fecv c'ars8 ago was the foremost in th< vor'ld ? Almost swept f'rm thn vater's. What has tbe pre'sen idmninistr'ation (done to restore it Practically nothting. Much, too las been said by the friends of't,h Ad ministr'at,ion of' its successf'u 11nd pr'udent management, of th inancesOO of' the courntr'y. It ha: >ecn boasted that it, has rec'(e< lie Foder'ah debt, $299,000,000 is brieo years and four mon11ths. Mr' Bioutwell, the Socrooraiy of th 1'reasuiry and( firm supplor'tor o President, told us in 1868 tha A\ndhrow Johnson's Adiministratio, 'educed thie debt $470,000,000 it liree years5 and seven months. Mri. Johnisoni did this upon th< iools of' the wvar. It, has been an loullced upon the floor of' thn LRoderal CJongrecss that tbe oflicia 'eturns of' the Warit I)pai'tmen ilonio show receipts and( expendi Lures of $138,000,000 in excess o Lho appr'opr'iations, and al thougl that departmont hars been ca1le< Iipon to show what, has become o this money, up to the pre'senlt tim it lhas tutterly failed to (d0 so. Fo the prioof' is clear' that, Secirotair' Robeson paid the Socor's 893,001 :lirectly in opposition to a positiv lawv of' the country, and yet th President still ret ains himIf in hi pr'esent high posit,ion. Let us niow see what has booi the policy of' the present Admin istration towardl the Southern piaa of' this Republic, one thir'd of' thi great coun try ; and inl what I shal say 1 shall speak in particular c tiCar'oliina,that tun happy Stat wh~ece I came, for of her I on aneak advinely. By the u,.ios of' tle Hadical faction of' the He puitblIi can I party t he Guo tbernatoriai Chair of tle State is polluted by- a thievinlg adveitirier fioi Ohio, who has debawied t.le State both mlorlilly anld politically. Verres, - tho proconsul of' Cicily, has had r uo eqn.alin corruption ; yet when 3 all of his bribes and frauds and I peculations aro stimied up by I that master of' oratory, Cicero, they anlioun t to only 82,010,000. The shado of muses Imav now rest <Iet Scott, te thieving carpet, bag Goverlor of' South Carolina, has lifted from h1im tile load of in I' Caimy that. has weighed him down for 20 centturics. 'Th1e General As > sembly of the State at its last ses . Sion appointed a comlimitteo to inl vestiglat and report the ecnidition of Ohe fiiane-es of, tle State. T I is Connmittee, constituted entirely of Repiblienms; affter a full investiga tion,l reported that, Scott, and Par kor tihe Treasurer. had fr-audulent ly i-stled ovor 86 000,000 inl bonds of the State. A few davs after the . report was subiimitLed lind adopted the Chairman of' tho Committee ofIed resolut1ions in the House of' ReCpreeIItitives, im peach i ng Scott anld Parker for' high crimes and misdomoanors; but these two carpet-bag thieves hadt([ the brazon audacity and the unbridled effront et to walk into tho logislative halls of' the Stato and buy il the Veiial mcibors liko shop in the shambles until they notonly voted dIoin the resolutions, but enacted a hiitw volidating tle bonds and screoning the perpl)etratorti of the ded from tile penalty of the law. Nor is this the vilest of the acts of Scott. He has been directly (-11a-r!ed with having conspired the awfuland diabolical plots to iurder in cold blood several citi zens of the Stato, and When the charges were being diiscussed be 101-0 Lilt) Sc0-Ato fo' inlVCstig'1tiOI they were suddenly suppressed. lie has spared no efforts to bring about a collision of races. In1 1870 he caused 20,000 of' the most im proved guns to be bought, with which hIo armed the blacks, and ipon the eve of' his Ie-election lie had the ball cartridges distributed among them as 1ponl the ovo of' battle. At the samlle time li re fused to arm the whites or permit, them to arm, whereby he laid the loundation for all the sorrows and woes unnombored in that onco beautiful land. A squad of' one of' those Compaies shot down and imutrdered a poor whito man (Ste vens) while lie was quietly driving his wagoli along the high way, And caused the difficulties in Union County. Anot,ber of' their com parpions marched into and took military possession of Chester led by a negrvo man who had repeated ly sworn ihe intendod to slaughter the whites until he could dance over the grave of the last, one of them, and so level it with the grount that no one could find the spot where he wias buried. This led to the difficulties in that coun ty. From the coturt house in York 13 fires were sooen at a single sight lighting up l the hecavens in dhifer' ent directiois. All the wior'k of Scott's negro militia, urged oni by camrpet-baggers and scal lawags,wh Io toild them to "kill from the cradle to the grave, and burn, that "matches cost only five cents a boxl" In Januar'y, 1871, every r'oad( 3leading to the capital of' the State was picketed by Scott,'s militia, andl - whlito men shot down and r'obbed wvith impunity. Mr. Du bar'd, one of' (lie most resp)etablo citizens of Richland, was inurder ed and r'obbedl within f'our' miles of the city. A fewv days lator' Mr'. Bailey, another' citizen, shared the same fato wiithitn one mile of' it There was scarely a day but, you I heaird of' a miur'der cot)nagration, and yet not one of these par'ties hatve been birought to justice. Of' I about, 385 convicts sentenced to the State pr'ison, Scott has par dotned about,300, the most of'themt before they got wit.hin its wvalls. A f'ow words now as to the Gene ral Assembly of' the State. T1his body is composed of' 155 miembeors, 100 of' whom aro iglnorant negro0es. - fresh from the shovel and tho hoe arid waiting saloon, many of'i whem can neither read nor write. WVe have ransacked the records of' I mant to the twilight of' time and U can find nothing that compares -in infamy with this body. What, I' will you think when 1 tell you a reoom wvas set apatrt ill the cap)it,ol I building during the session in I' which a fatro bank was run by day 1 amnd by night: that, the doors of' St.he House of' Represon tatives woere th1.rown open to the viiost courte ) snis in tihe city and the mombhers y hobnobbed over their glasses of whiskey withl these daughters of' i inf'amy ; tihat this body remained in session for nearly five months, meeting dlaily otly to call the r'oil - anid adjourni to a',tond a horse race, L cock-fight or some other place of a bestiality in accordance with their 1'appoti tos; that it consumed for f legislative expenses alone, $1,200,. 000, threo times more than for'. i meorly app)ropriiated to administer ithe whole StaL* unvunrnmnnt; t hat it has i mpjiosCd a tax of $t,500,0 to bo vollected during the presenit year', ten tillios as nich as was iliposed wlenl tie assessed vale of the entire Ipoperty of thc the State was three tines as great as it now is ; that., togetier witi the Governor and Treasurer, it has i IIcreased t he debt of the State, from01 less tihan 86,000.000 four years ago, to $20,000,000 or mocre, n1Ow, according to the best inflrin ation wo cal, get; that soio of the poorer classases hliave been so much o)pressed by taxation that they have been ciiipOled to sell their last milk cow to meet the taxts iliplosed by ttiis licised band of robbors; intsatiable of plun der. A word now as to the judi ciary. Tliis whiole body Iroin tile highest to the lowest., with a feW CxceptiolI, is too low for con tomp1)t.
