Tho Eleotivo Franohiso To the People of South Carolina : It wins referred to tho Stato Contrat Excou tivo Committoo, by tho lato Domoorntio OpiM vontion, to inquire into the disabilities im posed, by reason of tho war, upon a portion of our pooplo, restraining them from tho ox oroiso of tho electivo franchise in ?South Car lina, and to publish tho conclusici! attained, I for the information of tho pooplo of tho ?State. 'Tho committee iu discharge of that duty, an uounoo that thoy bave examined tho subject, and bqg to stato : 1. That no suoh disabilities uow exist by or undor tho acts of Congress, known as tho Ito construction act, tho Stato having bcou official ly dcolared to bo iu tho Union. 2. That no suoli disabilities exist under tho so-called amendment, kuowu as tho four- 1 tconth amendment to tho Constitution of tho United States, tho disabilities thoroiu express ed having roferouoo to office-holding, and not to voting. 3. That no such disabilitioa exist by the' so-called .State Constitution of 1808, under which it is claimed that tho State has booo reconstructednud restored to tho Uuiou. Tho undersigned, therefore, nnu?uuoo that uo suoh disabilities exist by forco of any law, or supposod law, or authority whatovor ; and they urgo thoir hitherto disfraoohisod fellow oitizonSj in every part of tho Stato, to exor cise thoir right to voto at tho coming election for President and Vioo-Prosidont, of which right they havo beon so long deprived by military power. By order of tho EX hfc UT IV M CO M MITTEE. -? o Tho Georgia Legislature ;?tho Right of tho Negro ;,o Hold Ol?loo. Tho Fhnpiro State, over active and zealous, has raised an important qu03tion ?a question of much interest to all the States at the South, ami acted upon it with the proniptuess and activity characteristic of this ?State. The ne gro members of tho Logisinturo havo been de cided by tho body to bo ineligible to hold office; aud have boon ox polled from tho House of Representatives, to tho number of twenty five. Thoro aro four others who have here tofore claimed to ho colored men, these arc equally clamorous that they belong to the white race. Thoir identity has to be proved. When the vote was taken on the question, the white oar pot-baggers and sonila wags voted ag lust the negroes. The plot thickens, and th. ole matter is getting a little moro com plicated. Tho poor negro can now very plain ly see that ho has been shamefully, wofully duped by his white Radical friends, who de sert him when most needed. Discussions have arisen to tho legality of this proceeding by tho Legislature of Georgia, whether or not negroes under tho Constitution or laws of Georgia or undor any law paramount thereto, havo right to hold office. If thoy havo this right, it has certainly boon conferred by tho -o- ? ?.???, ??-- ?&??'.?eeucu'Uiiiuuuw6.ufc ? somo of tho reconstruction acts. Wo can ; con coivo of no other possible source from which this right could bo derived, By all of those it is oonooded ho is made a citizen, and is given all that is comprehended iu tho tech nical phrase, "privileges and immunities,'' and tho specific right to vote is given him by tho franehiso article of tho Constitution.? Neither in tho opinion of tho Constitution of < tho United States, nor in tho opinion of the recent Georgia Convention, or in any political theory of the Republican party, does citizen ship carry with it tho right to tho negro either to vote or halli orfico. Iu tuo second Jection of the 14th amendment, it will bo seen, that whenever tho right to voto is denied to any malo inhabitant of a State, of tho ago of twen ty-one years, then the representation iu Con gross of such State to bo reduced. This very clearly gives tlie rights to tho individual States to confer, or deny the right of suffrage, and a fortiori tho right to hold office. The negro is a3 much to-day a citizon of Now York and Ohio as ho is of Georgia or South Carolina. Tho civil rights bill and 11th amendment passed by Congress apply equally there as hero. Ry virtue of his citizenship docs ho vote or hold office in cither of those ?States. Ohio last year denied him tho right to vote by forty thousand majority, and he never presumed to seek oliico. New York | still denies him the right to voto. Lut does the right to voto carry with it the right to j j ho!d office ? If it docs, every voter is enti tled to hold office, and if eligible to ono office why uot io all Do wo not all know that thoro aro laws limiting certain ofiioes to par ticular classes of votoro, G?nners, Judges, <fee., for example. That cortain qilaliu?.':ilo?3 as to ago, residence, ko., aro pre-requisito I-C those. Under this olttSS of citizens, aro com prised females and minors, and thoso who havo but recently como into tho State with tho intention of remaining. These certainly havo uot tho right to voto or hold obice.? Much less then the colored man who was horn without legal right, und thoro was no way to givo him thoso rights, save by special legisla tion.

If Grant is elected next Novem ber, 1 rtovor expect to sec another Prosulou? tial election." " What is your opinion of Grant portanai iyr u That ho is entirely under-rated by tho country and tho press. I know him very well. H e is aromariablo man, and one that ' few appreciate; of decided military gonius, i do nii tabi o cn orgy and determined will: jus1 1 the man for a coup d'etat, such as tho [pros- 1 out Emperor Louis Napoleon porformodmhen he placed himself on tbo throno of Franco. " Do you know tho other candidatesi and what would result from the clootion ol! Soy- 1 tnour and Blair ?" \ " Blair I know; Colfax I know ; Soybiour 1 I don't kttow. Thoy arcali very clover,fcood fellows. Blair and Colfax I served iu JCon. 1 gross with: and, personally, 1 bave no dbjco- 1 tion to any of them. Blair is a man Oftabil' loy, integrity aim oiiuraoier; bo is ?oymoiir as far as I know ; and Colfax may bo placed in the same catogory. But it is not tbo men ? it is not Crant and Colfax ; it is not Seymour and Blair, that aro to ho regarded iu tho next election. It is tho principles they represent that aro at issue. The fight is not against tirant and Colfax, but against the iniquity of the dominant party that has brought the 30Untry to tho vergo of ruin, and throatens fi nally to destroy it." " How would the Southern people act with regard to universal suffrago, in tho event of tho success of Seymour and Blair?" " They would abide by judicial decisions ; and there is little doubt that all this party ! legislation to secure power would bo over thrown. Conventions would regulate suffrago ! as best they thought proper. I believe a sys tem of qualified suffrago on an educational basis would h generally adopted in tho South in such au event." " Do you autioipato any troublo during the Presidential election between tho races in tho uowly-reconstruoted States?" " No ; except whon it provoked by tho un principled whites who havo associated them selves with tho negroes to got oQico. Tho whites will remain as they havo been, peace able and 'uict, relying mainly on tho North for deliverance from the frightful condition iu whioh they arc placed. Tho cry of th.! rad- ? ieals, ' let us have peace,' means lot uc. have war. Thoy desire it, and to make politicai capital inaugurate riet and bloodshed, if nut thwarted by tho forbearance of the whites.? They raise the cry that the South wautt war. Thoy lie whou they eay it. The Southern pcoplo havo no moans to muko war; no dispo sition to fight ; no ouomy to moot. Pdaoo is tut*v wish for, and tho civil liborty yhioh, as citi'Ion* of Cue ropublio, thoy aro entitled to." " Would the ncgroos resort io ATnis, in case . thoy wcro deprived of suffrago ?" u Tf thoy would and did, and fought for it, they would then oortainly be entitled to it ; but as a body, or a pcoplo, they would not do it. An oooasionnl instaitoo there might bo among thotu of men who would, under tho ! inspiration and guidanco of whites, clamor for tin- right of suffrage} but so .varo ns to bo scarcely noticeable. As a ruco, a rooplo, thoy do not approdato liberty. It is not in their natures. Thoy arc simply children of tho sun, with none of tho genuino aspirations of tho whites to be free. But if an evidenoo of what I say were wanted, I can peint to Tennessee, where 80,000 whites?Anglo Saxons?havo boon disfranchised, and they do not resort to arms. In Georgia thoro aro 25,000 and throughout the South in tho samo proportion,: but wo hear of no insurrection or rebellion oo this account. Therefore, it is clear the negro will scarcely fight under tho samo circumstances, notwithstanding that it may bo said, 'and the colored troops fought mUm.; h? ?gi in g 11 ?^B*Sfe??St*S81"1 *"?" ? ?

" " How do you regard tlio finances of tho country, and aro tho Southern pooplo in a-? vor of paying tho notional debt V " I am precisely of tho ?aine opiulou a? iMr. Pondloton, on the subject of tho finances. His views accord with mino fully.

Su p?b?C pOOUlurtry affairs, and always jealously guarded their puH'O honor". Some might attempt to refuto this, by saying that Mississippi refused to pay her bonds; but they wore few who knew tho charaotcr of the c?aos of bonds sha repudiated, and tho circum stances under whioh it whb dono." " a tho Southern people any destro to pay tho Confederato debt?" "Nono that I am awaro of. J'irst, because of their inability, and next, because thoy havo already repudiated. Tv o things that tho United .States Government were very fool ish in doing at the 0I0?C of tho war, was tho arrest of Davis and the demand that Confed erato debt should bo repudiated. While I do not anticipate that it will ever he paid, or any attempt bo mado to pay it; still, if such bo the case, ii will bo altogether due to that forood umondmont requiring its repudiation." At this juncture, Mr. Stephens romomborod ho had an engagement, and with his usual punctuality ho loft tho oottago to koop it> after wishing mo a very good evening. Union D?mocratie Clubs.
