G. MEMMINQER to Govor nor SCOTT, giving tho counsel which, in bis opinion, tho prosont exigencies of tho Stato call for. There oan bo no doubt that our J troubles are duo to an oxooss of liberty, pro duoing tts legit?malo fruit, licentiousness, and that tho remedy of a qualified suffrago would to a great extent ameliorate our condition. Tho ofio suggested by Mr. MEMMINQER is tho qualification to road and tho payment of some tux towards tho support of tho Govern ment. Can such a proposition bo maintained before tho ucgro ? Wo think not; nor would wo say any attempt at qualified suffrago would at present be advisable. It would be tho better eourso for tho honest aod intelligent loaders iu tho Republican party to join with the whites iu scouring good men of moderate views at tho next election. We could have carried the colored population at tho Inst elec tion, bad it not been for tho harangues and appeals to tho past wrongs suffered by them at tho bauds of tho whites. They wcro oou trollod by appeals to their passions. Tho conscquenocs havo been oppressive to thom j as well as to the white. Tho sanio arguments suggested by Mr. M EMMI NO KU, to induoo them to forego their franchise, would much more likely secure their support for honest and competent men. With our success un der such management, exorcising a proper regard in legislation for their rights, they eould always bo controlled. They were told, in tho lust election, that tho Reformers, if elected, would take away their rights and re mand them to slavery ; and uow it is sugges ted concourt from thom their right to vote for rcasous of publio ?rood. This would bo ex ceedingly difficult to demonstrate to tho col oreel people, especially when tho fow intelli gent men of their own raco would opposo it. It would give them an argument with which they would completely alienate tho raco. The cole cd men have folt the taxes some what. Their ten and twenty couts have footed up with costa three and five dollars, and: they begin to think reasonably. With proper management and conciliation, aided by tho influence of thc Governor and the Re publican press, wc might confidentially hope for better men to represent us in tho future. The idea of disfranchisement which, for thc present to that raco, qualified suffrage means, would destroy all hope. We do not question tho effectuality of thc romcdy, but wc seriously doubt its policy. The Sabbath School "Train up tho child in tho way it should go, and when it gro vs old it will not depart from it." This is a promise to parents from tho word of God, whioh is suro and unohang able, and should encourage them to sustain and promote Sabbath Schools. Tho impor tance of tho early inculcation of morul prin oiples into tho minds of thc young can iu no oaso bo ovsrostiuiuted, but when wo seo the amount of sin and wickedness prevailing in. every department of life, at thc present day, this becomes doubly important. Temptation to evil in every guise and iu every place, meets tho young, and thc protection ogainsb it is that their hearts may bc early fixed by correct moral teaohingB. They can thon calmly meet and surely overcome all other trials and temp tutions of the world. Propriety cannot exalt nor adjustly depress them, but with a finn trust in Providence they walk confidently through life. Tho seeds of morality here planted will, with all probability, grow and ripon into genuine piety. This is a richer bequest than money for it will surely redound to both tho temporal and eternal welfare of tho ohild.

Mr. BLACKSTONE, in his admirable lecture on the origin, nature and purposes of gWoraincut, says, that thc sovereign power, in evory gov ernment, should possess in an eminent degree tho great attributes of tho Creator, "wisdom, goodness and powor"-wisdom to discern thc true interests of tho pcoplo, goodness to prompt tho pursuit of those iutcrcsts, and powor to oarry into execution this knowledgo and intention. In this Government tho peo ple arc tho sovereigns, and general education is the only means to develop these qualities* It is, or should bo, a monarchy of reason in stead of physical foroo. Education develops both tho intellectual and moral faculties, Olid if these qualities of mind exist in tho major. ?ty, the rights of thc people and limitability of thc Government will bo secured. GEORGR WASHINGTON also, dcolarcd that tho establishment and fostering of schools and ohurohos woro tho only security to thc perpetuity of Republican institutions mid thc only protection against biller pnrty spirit. They uro surely tho oulySafeguard against scheming politicians and selfish demagogues who, themselves oorrupt, seek ind* idual ag grandizement at thc sacrifico of tho publio good. Our present abnormal and oppressed condition is clearly traceablo to ignorance and its twin-brother, vice. Could the people generally sec tho oppressive taxation and reckless extravagance of tho present govern ment, that it is all paid by tho laborer-the only creator of wealth-and that it is sapping the foundations of individual prosperity and national wealth, the days of? its years would bc numbered. Thc great drflioulty we find with thc negro is his gross iterance, through which ho is misled to his own and our ruin. Destitute of intelligence, wa cannot convince his judgment and thus control his political action. Thc only remedy for, aud thc only preventive of a coutinuancO'of, existing evils is general education. Qualified suffrage might effect it, but this is out of thc question. Besides, evcu this works by restricting thc ballot to thc educated portion of thc commu nity. The Resolutions Adopted by tho Board of Commerce in Charleston will be found elsewhere in our columns. Thc meeting is said to have been large, embracing nearly a lfthc property hol ders of that city. The resolutions wero calm ly discussed and the action taken unanimous. If thc resolutions intend anything, barring thc clause recommending n convention ot Tax payers in Columbia in May next, they ure a grave matter. If bonds ure issued and sold, thc resolutions to tim contrary notwith standing, un 1 taxes aro hjAied to meet these bonds, and rosistanoo isjjpjjdo-tto tho payment of these tuxes, thon what must result? Th? State will proceed to collect by distraint ann salo of thc property, and if no purchaser oar be found, miwt not the machinery of govern mont stop? Can this bo? If sustained bj thc people, will they, not produce a condition of things moro destructivo of our interest: than even tho present oppression? We wil leave tho answer of theso questions to oui readers. Wc think gentle moans tho wisc course, especially, as an awakening sonso o virtue and fair dealing in our Executive ha manifested itself. The danger of swamping our hopes for 1872, by strengthening th hands of our opponents in unwise measures should create extra cautionon our part. Th convention suggested is a harmless,- pcrhap a wiso measure, and would certainly bo so i not accompanied by tho otb cv resolution? if thc convention had been simply called an acted first, then if great evils were oppn bended for which these appeared no otlu remedy, we may have given allegiance t suoh measures as those proposed, even the wo would seriously reflect. We inform ou readers that thc convention is proposed to t held in Columbia on thc second Tuesday i May next, and suggest a meeting of our ci ?zens to considor tho matter on sulcday i May.

From Washington. WASHINGTON, Marou 29.-Tho Sumner indictment of President Grant has excited resentment from tho Administration cliques aud ugouts. Tho hoads of departments ovon aro summoned to his support. His nets against which Mr. Sumner enteis so strong a protest, are sought to ho justified by tho Se cretary of tho Navy, But the Seoretury cannot help admitting all that is charged, und explains that so fur, no troops have boen lan ded, and no shot fired in tho war which Gen. Graut hud waged against Iluyti, aud in sup port of lim, the traitor to his own country. Tho President's orders stand out in full relief, and cannot bo explained away nor defended. His acts fully justify Sumner's denunciation us acts of usurpation. lt was noticablo that in Sumner's speech there were manifestation of applause in thc thronged galleries upon every occasion when he assailed tho President-?iud especially when he charged him to be thc head of the Ku Klux-Klun-whiuh accusation hus been siuco repealed in tho House, lt ?fl true enough' that if thc President, as Sumner declared, had bestowed half as much attention and ciro rt upon Southern affairs as ho hud upon the Dominican concerti, there would now huvo been harmony and quiet in that quarter Of course, thc special friend} of the Pres ident, in thc Senate, have mudo feble at tempts to reply to Mr. Sumner. Mr. Howe, of Wisconsin, assailed Sumner and Chief Justice Chase and others who had ventured to differ from tho President. His malignant remarks upon -Chase were in bad taste considering that he is now herc, almost iii a moribund condition, and without tho least hope of even renewing his scut on thc 15ench. Tho patriot suggests a reason for this malicious attack upon tho Chief Justice, to wit : That Howe has long boen outraged in un intrigue to got his place. God forbid it ! Hut it is to bo really feared that Chase may retiro or die during Grant's Administration, und then the Senator who goos furthest m defense of thc President and in opposition to Iiis opponents, will bc appointed to thc va cancy Carl Schurz rs tho orator of thc Senate, as Thurman is the statesman, pur excellence, of that body. Schurz's speech began yes tcrday and concluded to day in support of Sumner's resolutions, was the first display of eloquence, which tho Senate lins for a lung timo witnessed. He called upon tho Senate to express their disapprobation, by adopting Sumner's resolutions of General Grant's as sumption of the power to declaro war, show ing that thc Emperor of Germainy could not do it without the assent of tho council of tho State. He showed that the charges upon which thc Senators around him proposed to remove Andrew Johnson were trivial, in comparison with the gross violations of tho Constitution, of which Giant stood accused. Some persons thought that Sumner, in his speech, would intimate tho probability that the (louse would present articles of impeach ment against President Grunt. Ho could ll. ve proved that there was grouud enough for impeachment. The Ku Klux Suppression Bill is under debate und tho manager of the Hill will per mit thc continuance of the discussion for a week? tho speaker promising to give the op position on equal portion of the time allow ed. The opposition will contest the passage of the Hill ut every stage. . WASHINGTON, March 31.-The House to day und to night discussed theKu-Klux Hill. Farnsworth made a legal argument in opposi tion.
