\ ?tcttor from Hou- C G MerAniiuger, ? CIIAIUJUSTON, March 21, 1871. /its Kcccllciiei/ R. K. Scott, Governor oj South Carolina. DKAR Sill: Not having been present nt tho conference to which 1 was recently iuvi ted by your Excellency, I have thought it due to you, that I should, as soon as it was in my power, submit to you ibo counsel, which, in my opinion, thc present exigouoies -of our Sluto call for. Tho remedy for any existing evil must de pend upon tho exact character of the ovil ; and thc first step to bu taken towards a pro per application of a remedy is to observe care fully the nature and cause of tho evil. Tho leading fuot which hos probably induced your action, is tho formation of combinations, in many of tho upper counties of tho State, which exhibit themselves in acts of violence upon thoso whom they deem tit subjects for extraordinary visitation. There can bo no difficulty ill ascertaining tho cause of these combinations It is undoubtedly thc convic tion that tho existing Government of thc S ta to is utterly corrupt ; sud that it has fail ed in all thu duties which uro required at itt hands-that there is no adequate security for lifo or property, and that tho tuxes laid by tho legislature must eventuato in virtual confiscation of thc entire iuoomo of tho ci ti Kens. Is this conviction well founded ? 1. Tho corrupt character of tho Legislature of tlie State has been so distinctly evinced that it may bo Bet down as un admitted fact 2. Tho failure to discharge thc duties o government culminated in thc action of tin Legislature nt its last cession upon the Ches terfiold election. This action, following upoi the previous election laws, which refused un; check upon tho majority, satisfied the whit people of the State that they had no rights recognized by thc Government, and that the, must, therefore, protect themselves in th best woy they could. Tho arming of th colored militir and" exclusion of tho white from any partit .gatton, placed one class db tinctly above thc other, and plainly exhibitc to thc whites that forco would take tho plac of law. 8. Thc wasteful expenditure of tho publi money, and the corrupt schemes for iucreat ?ng tho public debt, which have found hive with tho Legislature, proctuiiu in thc futur *n indefinite increase of taxes, while corruj officers foment these evils, "and render hop* less any effort ut amendment. 4. Tho formation ot secret societies anion thc colored people, under the DIUI)'' of Uoio Leagues, banded them together in a seer? organization, and while these societies rend? useless any appeals to thc better judgniOi of their members, they natutally suggest like organization among tho whites as thc only means of defence. These various evidences h ive settled a coi viction in tho minds of thc whites, that tin must seek protection outside of the cxistin Government, and as your Excellency duub less sccs, these evils must result in anaret or civil war. unless some remedy bo speed i applied. Thc active cause of all this evil clearly the Legislature of tho State. Thc it all originates; there it hus its abode, at from thence it must bo removed before peat or security can ensue. The character of tb body must therefore bc changed. Insten of representing ignorance und vice, it mu roprescut kuowlcdgo and vii tue. This o au not do Until you change its oonstitucno Thora is no possible method of reforming ? agency, while the principal continues tl ?ame-and ignoranoo und prejudice will no er select for its agents the wisc and thc goo Our troubles result from this cause, and fro ticglcctof thegtcat American aphorism, th taxation without representation is ty ra no . In our present system of State Govern mci those who pay tho taxes have no voice in t Government. This investigation clear points to thc only possible remedy, to wit : change iu the constituency which elects t Legislature. Let this bo improved, and t improvement of thc other follows of cour. A more intelligent body of voters, and ono directly responsible to pay thc taxes wbi im posed by their representatives, would spec ily provide a remedy. Under their uuspiot on intelligent und virtuous Legislatura won Uga in make its appearance, and thc laws of t land and tho public officers appointed to ti minister thom, would again command pub confidence, and ensure thc peuce and tm quility of tho State. All this can bo obtained by simply folio ing tho load of that State which our prose . . rulers would regard as tho fountain of poli oui wisdom, and amending our Constitute no as to conform thc qualifications of voti to that required in Massachusetts. Let t votors be only such as can read and have pt sonic tax for the support of thc Govcrnnic and tho representatives will nt onco chun their character. Such a qualification in t Voters Would discriminate only against i gi raneo, and would place it in the power of c ry man to take part in the Government, wh evor may be his race or color. Tho diifioulty of such an amendment ari from tho fuct that it must find sufficient fa* with tho existing authorities to coin man two-thirds voto This difficulty is real ; I is it not worth thc effort to ovorcoiuo "Without somo such chango tho State nt inevitably drift into anarchy or civil war, t ?uroly wo alreudy have had a suffioicnt exp rienoe of tho evils of war to induce every < to Sock their avoidance. If you, sir, wir commenco tho movement by un earnest peal to tho Legislature, immediately to si mit tho call of n> Convention to tho decis of tho pcoplo, ". is not ut all improbable t tho movement may succeed. It is truo that it will take much timo, t that muoh agitation must ensue, lint every man weigh against these considerate the danger which must attend any ot course. Should, even, the violcnco wh may bo apprehended, be suppressed by mil ry force, it is not nt all unlikely Unit as tl only remaining resource tho entire comme ty will refuse to pay their tuxes ; and th libero will bo tho credit and government tho State? Doubtless many bad men \ agitato against such a measure, and will deavor, os heretofore, to persuade tho ignor colored pcoplo that the whites will nguiu ?Koo them to slnvery. Dut your Exec" will bo fully ablo to ropel such attempts You know us well ns I do, and can tell tb ISO, that thoy OWO their emancipation neil to your party nor to mino, but alono to G tho Supremo Disposer of events. You sbow thom President Lincoln's proclam?t ?t Soytomber, 1802, in whioh ho undert lo recognize the right nf thc people of .Southern States to hold their slaves, if t would lay down their arms beforo tho en - Sng first of January. It was, therofore, fi the rcEolutcuofs of the South, and not ft i, - --? , . .', r1 V'T.*"!'. ." ?WSBffftftlWjBw "??irri.*' ''i.", Si\'*'.1 *Vi Ibo generosity of tho North, that tho sluves obtulned their freedom. And even now, that freedom is insured only by the amendment of the Constitution of tho United States, , which was adopted by tho white men of South ', Carolina. You would, therefore, bc obie cf- , factually to remove this hindrance to good feeling fruin the minds of the colored peuple. Then, again, you would bc ablo to assure thom of the kindly feeling with which they have always been ragarded by their former masters, before the heartless plunderers, who arc now making usc of them, hud misled and embittered their feeliogs. Those, und other topics which will readily occur to you, will uo doubt enable your to iullucnco thc notion of thc colored people. Au equal, perhaps a greater difficulty, will bo to restrain tho impatience or thc white people. Restless as they naturally must bo under thc corrupt aud heartless despotism whioh they seo domineering over them, it will require tho strongest effort of patience to await a remedy which will require so much time. The strongest motive which can bo presented to thom, for such patience will bo tho curliest aud siucerc initiation of tiic amendment proposed. Thc first step towards culling a Couvention is a vote of tho Legisla ture, and os that body has adjourned, it will bo necessary to take some action, before its next meeting, to satisfy the people or tho ex pediency of wuiting. If the leading members of tho dominant party would como forward and pledge their support to the measure, and urge the udoption of the same, it would fur nish such un assurance us would, doubtless, restrain the impatience of. those who aro smarting under their present burthen. O? our side, then, wc could, with some 'show of reason, counsel our friends to endu ranee. Wc could turn their minds to con sider other cuses of grcvious national wrong, whioh patience had overcome. Wc could point them to thc example of thc noble spirits who, after thc endurance for twenty years, of the tyranny of tho Stuarts in Kn ghi nd, brought about peacefully thc rovolution of 1U88, and established English freedom upon a basis, from which it has never becu removed. Wo can point thom to tho American struggle against taxation without representation, which continued for ten years before n resort to arms With these examples before them, wo would bo able to persuade them to await two years for tho action of a convention, if wo could as sure them thal that action would remedy tho evils of which they complain. Persuaded, as I am, that no other peacea ble remedy can bo mudo available, I would most earnestly address these views to the seri ous consideration of your Excellency, and would urge thom upon all those who Siek tho permanent peuce and welfare of thc State. With much respect, your obedient servent, C. G. MK.UM i.NU KU. Latest, Measure of Reconstruction. WASHINGTON, March 28.-Thc Senate sp.mt thc whole day in thc discussion of Sum ncr's anti Grunt resolutions. In thc House, Sholhibarger, from thc spe cial committoo on on thc President's Ku Klux message, reported a bill for the enforcement of tho Fourteenth amendment, lt provides that any person who under color of law, stat ute, regulation, custom or usage of any State, shall subject or cause to be subjected any person within thc jurisdiction of thc United States to thc deprivation of any rights, priv ileges or immunities secured by thc first sec tion of tho fourteenth article of thc a mc nd meiits to tho Constitution of tho United States, shall, any such law, statute, regulation, ordinance, custom or usugo of State to thc contrary notwithstanding, bc liable to tho party injured in nu action of law, suit in equity, or other proceedings for redress, such proceedings to be prosecuted in thc several district or circuit courts of the United States, with and subject to the same right of appeal, review upon error, and other remedies provi ded In Uko cases in such courts under pro visions of the Act of April 9, 1808, nod oth er remedial laws of the United States which arc, in their nnturc, applicable in such cases.

The Future Prosperity of thc South There can bo ito doubt that it would contribute greatly to the future prosperity of this section of thu Union if many amongst us would turn their energies ami capital in new channels of enterprise and business. Tho old roads are o'.enr. but they are worn and crowdod. Blaze a new path i brough the woods for yourself, young man, ami you will arrive al the goal ahead ol' your compel ?tors. A Striking example ol' this precept is found in the case, of Mr. V. 1\ Tonio, ol charleston, S. C., a plain mechanic, who bas mude himself tho head ol' a largo manufactory of doors, sashes and blinds. Boar in Mind. When disease has undermined tho health, and thc physical system has become prostrated, a stimulant, that will not only strengthen, but re move the cause, should be immediately resorted lo. .Mental distress is also a fruitful source of the breaking down of thc constitution, and thc rav ages of this enemy to health are truly alarming. For all such maladies Hosteller's Stomach Hit ters have been found unsupussed. Hy acting di rectly upon the. digestive organs, they remove tho heavy, disagreeable feeling after ealing, so often Complained of by persons of a delicate temp?ra ment. As soon as digestion is restored, the pa licnl finis li ?.j Strength increasing, and his gene ral health improved.
