the unconstitution ility of tho statute

?To the Editor <?/ A*, w* :
Tf.au Slit?The Into tax payers Con
vention has made an effort to start im
migration to this State, it is iu my mind
very questionable, whether under the
auspioes, it was inaugurated, that it will
be successfully carried out. 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

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

->*rhe Republican party of South Caro
lina, in Convention assembled, hereby
declares to the c ountry that it stands
in the coming compaign, upon the fol
lowing platform, and will demand of all
its representatives in the State Govern
ment the faithful maintenance and prac

ciples herein enunciated :
3d. We pledge ourselves to effect
instantly a financial reform in the State
Government, Ly suspending the pay
ment of the iutereston evory bond of
tho State to which can be attached the
shadow of a suspicion, and providing
for the punctual payment of the prin
oipal and interest ol the unqnoation ibly
valid-: debt. And that the momborsof
the ^Legislature elected by tho Hopubli -
cans shall be pledged to carry into efcot
the meaning and intent, of tliis plank.
4t,k. In tho interest of financial ro
form and good government, wo pledge
oursolves to throw armud th-5 State
Treasury every safeguard necessary to
insure the faithful application of t\\i
public funds solely to the public services,
pursuant to just hues, enacted in the inter
est of the whale people of South Carolina.
5th. Ass csscntinl to the reform here
in guaranteed an I imperatively demand
ed by tho people as the vital necessity
of the Sta'o, we shall require that the
public expenses shall be reduced within
the pgblic revenues to be derivod from
a moderate system of taxation, f/fued up
on a fair and equitable assessment of all
proper/y liable to taxation under the
Constitution. To effect this n -e led re
duction! in expenditures, we insist that
there snail be an immediate reduction in
the salaries of all public officers, from the
highest to the lowest, in the State and
counties] and that there shall be a judi
cious reduction of the public officers them
selves, and that the number uf attaches
shall be declared by law.
6th. Experience having proved thnt
tho general license law. although
honestly designed by the Legislature t .
relievo the burden* of taxation n>\ real
estate, if. in i.s praaio I o?tnti?n.
odious a^d npprc.vivo, we pledge our
selves to its instant repeal.
7th. Iwliaving, from sail experience,
that 2?mmW n necessary aaf?{.M/"cd to the
public treasury that nil its transact*ons* J
should be constantly open to public
inspection, an * always under the eyu of
the people, wo pledge ou-sel.es to
secure the enact turnt ol* a law profiling
that no moneys shall be paid out of tha
Treasury except in pursuance of i.o ap !
propriation speciryiug the am mut to be^
paid, and such payment shall be made
only upon the warrant of the Co nptrol

respective offices, showing what warrants
have been drawn, aud the receipts and
disbursements during the past twenty

8th. We pi-duo ourselves that the
government of tho State shall hence
forth he so administered, in all its de
partmcnts, that neither the public schools
nor asylums of charity shall be closed for
want of ? proper maintenance on the part
of the. State.
12th With fnll faith in the justio e I
of these principles, confessing our errors j
of legislation tind administration in the

to victory, and to prove tu the world
that, * in South Carolina, Republicanism

If thcB3 pledges have not been kept,

The Validity of Iii? Ilc-Kccord

The following is a careful abstract of
the decision of the State Supreme Court
in the case of C. II. Miles and L. 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. '1 he
equities bet worn Hull, the creditor, a.id
King, the d htor,in no way, either in
y>j>i>\ .?*'?? ??>>, ?-r*Uy intptimi inn. attain
t ? the purchaser :>t sheriff's Pi'e, who
takes his title, u it me Hntrl<yt hut im
med ately, a.s is said in Me Knight vs.
Cordon Rich., Kq.. 233 That <*ns?
disposes of the argument that the
purchaser nt a sheriff's sal ? was bound
by the notice which the ereli'or, und;r
whose judgment the land was sold, had
of the pre-exlstinu' mortgage when the
debt due him was rontrnrt 'd.
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."
