Tyranny ant lutult
This journal has neither advocated o
encouraged Ku Kluxism. On the con
tra ry, in a manner which seemed to u
becoming, it has end avored to shoi
that such organizations had co basis ii
a well rounded christian, feeling o
mora! principie, and that tbe^ractioe
of them were dangerous io precedent
inexpedient and impolitic, and caleula
fed to retard rather than advauce thi
return of influence to thc better classe
of thc State. And wc may f irthcr add
that the sequel, just now in develop
ment, seems to bearus out in the positiot
wc have occupied and the advice w<
have givcu thc people iu this CODHCC

merely as preliminary to what we have
tu say.

South Carotis* Fracds
The Baltimore Gazette says : When
ex-Governor BULLOCK, went on to|?ew
York to see if he could ot raise suf
ficient money to cover upvfais fraudulent
issues of bonds, his failure to accomplish
his purpose- lett1 m wu raagrawa
thrpugh^ ffeajr of impeachment if be
'returned to Georgia.
In like manner, a fraudulent over
issue of South Carolina bonds, took
Governor SCOTT, together with some
of the State officials, to New York, to
ascertain what could be done to avoid
the expos jre of their doings, which was
then impending. But others whoTHU
cognizance of his purpose, and ie
interested in defeating ii, gave t h
information, in regard. taine financial
operation* of the. tate aajTorj^fi^BS
rL'idered secrecy nb: Ittiger ^ro sib||
With a bold "effrontery that.took an. air
of injured innocence, Governor SCOTT
met promptly the damaging revelation*
by denying that they were true-.' Ile
acknowledged that bonds to the amount
of tweuty-eight millions of dollars n' d
been printed in New York; but declared
that culy thirteen millions of them bad
been issued.
This statement, so confidently made,
was well calculated to reassure anxiora
holders of South Carolina bonds. But,
somehow or other, their . doubts were
nut dispelled They had "been told that
the eutirc funded debt- ol'South Caro
lina in lv-GT was less thaa five millious
and a half of dollars; aad that when
the floating debt was also funded the
total debt of thc State would not exceed
ten millions. Since theo/according}to
Governor SCOTT'S statetjeut ito New
York, thc debt has been increased tb
thirteen millious. ' That was really,:he ?
said, only some two weeks ago, thc ross
amount of the State debt. Still, people
were not sati>fi-.d, and to avoidi-i iug
importuned for . further cxplaaajj $s,
Governor SCOTT.hast i ly left- NCT'YO*^
and, a few dav's afterwards, was reported
to be back again iu South' Carolina.
And uow we leam that his facts and
his figures were both false. At Colum- I
bia, ou Moooay last, he co ;lessed to a i
correspondent of-ibc New York ?Iribunc, J
thc same paper io which his previous
.-tatenient appeared, that he "had reason
'.to fear that there has been a fraudulent
.. . sui.- in New York of a considerable
"amount of South Carolina bonds toad?
.*by thc State Treasurer- PAUKE it
'.through"the -fifiaucul ragent-^Kl r
TOS." J 1
lie expressed tbe opinion that bonds
that liad been cou verted in'o "new
Conversion bonds" had been resold,
instead of cancelling them. Ile was
further of the belief, he said, that if any
of the seven per cent, bonds of 1S69
are Still in the market, they are fraudu
lent. "The same is true," he said, "of
.?700.000 of land commission bonds, and j
u of 9500,000 of bonds 'issued in Ocio- j
" Li r, l!?GS, to pay utterest on the pub- !
- lie debt, which were not ' properly
" pt in'ed, and should have been replaced
" with nc'.r bonds signed by him for the
" purpose."
The imputation cast by Governor
SCOTT upon PARKER, the State Treas
urer, has drawu from the latter a state
ment ol what he assumes to be tbe whole
amount of the State debt. He puts it
at $L"',80G,90S9S, or nearly three mil
lions more than Governor SCOTT esti
mated it at whilst iu New York. PAR
KER adds, with a malicious thrust at
SCOTT, that his books will show that
"ail jffieial statements heretofore made
" have bc-L-o intentionally erroneous, and
"made with a view to deceive."
The antecedents o! this man PARKER
afford a striking illustration of the gen
eral character of thc Slate officials in
reconstructed and iladical ridden South
Carolina. Before ihe war he kept a bar
at Ilaverhill, Massachusetts j but sub
s' ijuently entered thc army. When th*,
war was brought to a close he settled,,
a^ did many other carpet-baggers of a
similar kidney, at Charleston, "where he
opened/' says the Kation, "another gro-;
eery." Of course, with thc white people
disfranchised*, and thc black iu the
ascendant, he speedily became a politi- ;
o; ::j,and by negro voles was made an j
Aldo.-nan. Having thus adopted ' a '
more laoi.Tive profession, he failed inj
business, an compromised with his j
ci editors at the ra-.. 0f thirty cents cu !
tin.' dollar. Shrewdness of this kind
soon male him couspicoous, With
ignora ut negro constituents at n:." back,
and a grear reputation lor loyalty, he !
became Stare Treasurer, and in thc'
1 eour.-e of a lew year.-., blossomed from a-,
bankrupt tuto a millionaire. - - *jj
Wi:I) such carpet-baggers a? SCOTT, j
j and PARKER, and -HURLEY, aiitF
I WlllTTEMORE, aud UovEK exercising
political onfroi over unhappy South'
Caruliur, can it be any wonder, os the j
; correspondent of the New York Tribune]
\ "undc-rsakv to iniorui us, that the
"financial condition of the State is
\ confessedly bad Y* The only marvel at
; ali, lo our thinking, is that any one

was a vi^t from the Russiau Prince
the Grand Duk lexjs, sud...bj , spite.
One o'clock in the day was the hoar
selected for the royaj display. At"rhis
hom* the carriages arrived,.-containing
the Duke and Minister Catacazy, Ad
miral I2aissiotr -Counsellor-of -State \V,
F. Maahin, and Court -Okondofr, (Jaunt
Shouve*loffrGeu. Gorloff, ^A^ni^m,
Lieotenent Touder and Mr. Sherkofr of
his suite/: ' ~:
The Duke's uniform; was a short blue
frock coatwith golden epau lets, sword
and pale bine sash over tis shoulder.
His guile were all dressed .in the .'uni
forms of their rank, elaborately mmmed
and.decorated.'. X il v J - *?
His.. Imperial Highness, Ulysses I,
and Cabinet, also appeared in glittering
dress. . Mrs.. Grant and her-suit wero
also gorgeously decked. Sher.with her
daughter Nellie and Mks Bessie Sharp,
were dressed in deniitoilette-black silk
with rJ r rt lace collar and sI CTcs*nnd
bright:colored ribbons. Mrs. Akemau
appeared in black silk train and bonnet,
with maroon .trimmiogs. Mrs. Delano
worcblack velvet, black Lse shawl anJ
piuk gibbons and head dress-Mrs.
Sharpe apple green silk'with train.
Mrs. Grant was "supported" by these
ladies as her "Court," and bore strong
external resemblance to a ffomau of
royal blood, birring' certain signs in
fallible, which show one's raisiiig.
They were received iu the blue parlor,
Granland the Duke being first prdskmtcd,
then his Cabinet and the Russian suite.
Then the whole were escorted by "His
Imperial Highness" to the ted pat lor,
and there presented by! him to the
ladies. The introductions were attcn
ded with handshaking, aid the greet
ings seemed to be cordial. In ' the red
parlor these introductions became more
general, and soon a considerable bazz of
voices ensued, mixed with French and
English, which lasted for about fifteen
minutes,.whet, the Duke ard his. suite
withdrew- Reentering their, carriages,
they returned immediately to thc
residence of Minister Catac.tzy.
The Duke left Washington on Friday
to.visit thc Naval School at Annapolis,
apd,frpni thence went to New. York ou
Saturday, where a grand reception was
arranged for him, and thc usual amount
of "running after" a titled foreigner,no
doubt took place. And thus American
people,'and especially those of i he North,
belittle themselves, before the civiliza
tion of the agc.

Humiliation and Prayer.
Grant's proclamation, supplemented by
Seo tt's, calls upon the people of South
Carolina to observe to rofrrow, (Thurs
day, 30th) ss a day of thanksgiving.
Nev a** io-pbjibly,di lhe; proclamation of
the head of a .great people, in which
Almighty God was invoked, seem io
like es mickety as this.' ' Treading their
liberties in the-dut t, beneath thebcelof
his military power-scattering desola
tion and dismaj* araoug huudreds of
quiet ard frogal homes-dragging our
people to dungeons, without form of
law, and in gross violation of their great
Mug tes Cliarla of rights-setting aside
every principle of "good will toward
men," he calls upon them to assemble
themselves together, and give tltauis.-*
Thanks they may anti should give to
God continually for mucb j but arning
all christians, there is some fitness oj
person and character in tiose who lead
them toa Throne of Heavenly Grace.
To follow the lead of souii2 uienJo pray
er, w'ould be little less than 'sacrilege,
and this seems a case in point.
"An Aged Clergymat^who'wriles
u the Pita nix of. the ,' >~h ins'., sug
gests that the people ol the State ob
serve the day as ODe of "humiliation and
prayer," that He who holds io Ilia
hatids the eccptre of universal dominion,
and ro whom all kings and rulers are
subject, and whose high p-erugative it is
to deliver the oppressed, cvill lenk do'wo
upon this afiiieti-d Slate, and vouchsafe
her a speedy deliverance from all the
oppressions of wicked mea.
With the P/ionix, we approve the
