Conven tions and ban lsome speeches do not accomplish muo'i. In the first place Columbia should have been made tho headquarters in stead of Charleston, the foimer city being the center of tho ^t-ite. The organization is not eo -plate. It .-lioulil have I een so arranged us to have euergclic ami lamented men at the 1km d of it, with proper, assistsuts of goutlo men which such an undertaking re quires. it seems the progress of ele ting such Commissioners iu the different counties is making slow headway, as al*o tho collection of m mey. Commits'iontiS only h.nve been app >into 1 in a few cm i ties, and it seems the excitement his, to some extent died out. If this grand i nterpriso is expected to suec.jsd the w'-rk should commence. In 18?5 the lii'gislai uro appropriated fi teen thousand dollars for immigration A resident agent was appointed in Charleston at a salary of SlfiUO p?r anuttm. The present commissioner and one other geiilleuiau went to Germany to bring iuimigrints?.the uiouoy was spent and nothing accomplished except putting (he money where it did most good, hence I f?ar this second attempt will end with the snmc result, unless enrrgetic measures aic taken, and iu a different direction. \ Wo can procure phmty immigrants of tjbo right class if wo go to the right place, and that is tho South and (Jen tral Urrmany, (and not the North,) a country that has thirty live million.-) of people, out of a population of forty millions, which the German Empiro now contains. These people are the best or as good agriculturalists as thiro are in Europe, and they, as families, will bring money with them. They aro not like those stragglers and paupers we got out of New York lately by tho great exertion of certain parties, who did so much blowing in tho newspapers. Some of these people hare already left their employers, nud the balance w?ll do the same, when they got money oaough to do so, but if wo bring families here, and after they lay out their money for land they will stick. South and Cen tral Germany consists of the following 0 mntries, Bavaria, Weirtcmberg, Baden, Messe, Rhine Provinces, Central Oer many, Saxony, Alsaoo, Lorain, (the latter two taken from France in tho late war,) Saxony and Switzerland. Here 1 will s;iy that Orangeburg, Lexiugton, New berry and Edgcfiold counties were principally settled by South Germans who came fame tho above countries 144 years ngo. Charleston or South Caro lina was bettor known in Germany than . Now York. The former being a much larger commercial port than tho latter. Mence three pcoplo came direct to Charleston. New Y'ork now has laid everything in tho shade. There arc now about 10 stcamcis running between Now York nnd Baltimore to Rr'RICU Mamburg. Stetlin nnd Antwerp, besides about 100 more to other Furopeao ports. This is what brings the immigrants to New York. Tho West lu-8 her agen's all over Get many inducing the peop'o to tome to th tt part of tho United States. Their tickets are purchased by these agcuts (the [emigrant paying for it) at their very home, direct via Now Y'ork to their place of destination, honoc they, on their arrival pass right through New York, without a days delay, where they cannot be fleeced and taken in by the ring of agents and subordinate officers, of this celebrated charitable institution culled 'Cassis Garden, where gross deceptions are practiced.^ I am satn-fiud that the same can be effected as |to immigrants coming to this State, viz : procure through tickets 11urn 'any pait of* Europe to any Rail Road Stut'on in South Carolina. I will obligate myself to effect such an arrange mcnt. 1 will now give tho people of South Caioliua a little information a* to what extent those a ho brought immigrants here from New York (of all grades of society,) what credit they dcforvo in doing so. In bis late report the Presi dent excused hiins'.lf for paying the pa*Bage of 300 emigrants to this State, he said, "It is better to get rid of them iiii i hat way than to Iced theut fur four j months." These are not the kind of people we want, I am sure. It would b-j, perhaps, n good plan if several counties would join together and efleet tlioir own arrangements in this maller. 1 would be glad if some of our citizeus would propose some plan by which the so much desired object can be realized. 1 have made a proposition to the Commissioner of the State to act iu conceit with him, but ho has not even condescend to auswer my communica tion. 1 have several articles in reserve, and 1 hope my information m iy pr>ve in jercsting to the citizens of South Caro lina. G. A. NBUFFER. Pnpors friendly to the causa will please publUh this article. Mr. Editor?The following portion of a letter received from a true South Carolinian, 1 enclose you for publication.

I) DeSuusaure, Trustees, Appellants, vs S. J. King, C. P. W. King, and Caleb Sauls, Respondents, involving the quos tiou of the validity and Constitutional ity of tho Re Recording Acts of 1800. The opinion was delivered by Chief ?Justice Moses : Sunrrmr. Cot/r/, C. November Term, 1873. C 11. Miles ami L. 1). De Saussure, Trustees, Appellants, vs. S. J. King, C. P. W. King, and Caleb Sauls, Respondents. Opinion by Moses, C. .1. This was the case of a mortgage for purchase money, recorded under the act of 1843, but not re recorded as roquired by the act of 18150"; the records of Col . lcton County, where the record was made, having been destroyed during the war. In ISO I Hull became a creditor of the mortgagor, S. J. King, and in August, 1808, under ajudgmout obtain* ed by Hull against King, Sauls pur chased nt slioriU's sale the land which was the subject of the snit. Tho Court says : "Assuming that the mortgage was executed iu conformity with the acts of 18-13, the points involved in tho grounds of appeal draw in question the validity oi the nets of 1800, 13 stat at large, pp. 381?HI, so lar as they are held by the circuit doerea to aflect it. Suuis presents himself in the position of a r-ubscqneiit purchaser for valuable cons deration wi'.huut notic-J ; and it is error on the part of the appellants to contend that the mortgage having been en reoi rd when Mull, in 1801, became the creditor of i.ln. mortgagor, the u tice thu- bit dii g him must be hold to extend to the respoudunt, the purchase.-. There is no touitectiuii between thorn.

The court then proceeds to discuss the question of t ho validity and eonstitu'ion ality of the lie recording Ao' j of 1801, and decides in their favor, hnsin^ its decision upon the ground that tho '?General Assembly has a right to d:vust Vested rights, and to enact statutes retrospect i \ e in their action, provided they do not impair the obligation of con tract." L'pon this point it rulers to the following cases : Snttorly vs. Matthew son. 2 Pet., 380 ; Watson vs. Mercer, 8 Ret , 110 ; Charles River Rridge vs. Warren Rridge, 11 Pet., 420 ; Floren tine vs. Huston, 2. Wal , 210. It de clarcs that the acts of I860 are uot retrospective, aud did not utTect the pnst ; that registration was no? part of the contract between the parties to the mortgage; and that "the act of,1813 contained no stipulation that involved any prohibition ngrinst the State to require a compliance with any new re gulations whieh it might impose to make the registration law more perfoct, and certainly none which prevented it, when, by causes beyond its control, the pro visions of the act of 1813 ceasod to effect tho purpose contemplated by it, in the way of notice, from supplying the means by which notice of the mortgage of ap pellants should bo given to the public." "Actual notice on tho part of Sauls," says the Court, "was not provod, and the appellants failed to afford him the constructive notice whieh tho law gave them an oppoitumty for itupartiug. In what possible wuy can Sauls be said to hold tho attitude ofapurchnser with nolioe ? And if he does not lie is en titled to the benefit of his purchase."
