I GOVERNOR SEYMOUR'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Convention :?I thank you for
the honor you have done me in making me your
presiding officer. This Convention is made up of
a large number of delegates from all parts of our
broad land. To a great degree we are strangers
to each other, and view the subjects which agitate
our oountiy from different stand-points. We cannot
at once learn each other's mode of thought, or
grasp all the facts which bear upon the minds of
others; yet our session.must be brief, and we are
forced to act without delay upon questions of an
exciting character and of deep import to our county.
To maintain order, to restrain all exhibition
of passion, to drive out of our minds unkind suspicions,
is at this time a great duty. 1 rely upon
your sense of this duty, and not upon my own
ability, to sustain me in the station in which I am
plaoed by your kind partiality. Men never met
under greater responsibilities than thoee which
L T. - ?
now weigu upon us. xt 10 uvt a tucic poivj u>umph
we seek. We are trying to save our country
from the dangers which overhang it We wish
to lift off the perplexities and the shackles, which,
in the shape of bad laws and of ernshing taxation
now paralyze the business and labor of our land.
We nope, too, that we can give order, prosperity
and happiness to those sections of our oountry
which suffer so deeply to-day in their homes and
in all the fields of their industry, from the unhappy
events of the last eight years. I trust that actions
will show that we are governed by earnest
' . purposes to help all classes of our citizens. Avoiding
harsh invective against men, we should keep
the public mind fixed upon the questions whicn
must now be met and solved. Let us leave the
past to the calm iudgmenfc of the future, and confront
the perils of the day. We are forced to meet
the assertions in the resolutions put forth by the
late Republican Convention. 1 aver there is not
in this body oue man who has it ia his heart to
excite so much of angry feeling against the Republican
party, as must be stirred up in the minds of
those who lead these declarations in the light of
recent events and in view of the condition of our
country.
In the first place, they congratulate the perplexed
man of business, the buraened tax-payer, the 1
laborer, whose hours of toil are lengthened out by '
the growing costs of the necessities of life, upon
the success of that reconstruction policy which has
brought all these evils upon them by the costs of
its military despotism and the corruption of its
Bureau agencies. In one resolution they denounce
all forms of repudiation as a national crime. Then
why did they put upon the statute books of the
nation, the laws which invite the citizens to borrow
coin to force their creditors to take debased
paper, and thus wrong him out of a large share of
his claim, in violation of the most solemn compact.
If repudiation is a national crime, it is a crime to
invite all the citizens of this country thus to repu- <
diate their individual promises. Was it not a crime
to force the creditors of this and other States to
take a currency, at times worth no more than fifty <
* cents on the dollar, in repayment for the sterling 1
W coin they gave to build roads and canals, which ,
yield such ample returns of wealth and prosperity ?
Again, they say, it is due to the laborers of the
nation that taxation should be equalized, then why i
did they make taxation unequal f Beyond the injustice
of making one class of citizens pay for an- 1
other the shares of the costs of schools, of roads <
and of the local laws which protected their lives
and property, it was an unwise and hurtful thing.
It sunk the credit of the country, as unusual terms 1
always hurtful to the credit of the borrower do.? 1
They also declare the best policy to diminish our 1
burden of debt is so to improve our credit that |
capitalists will seek to loan us money at lower rates
of interest than we now pay, and must continue to 1
pay so long as repudiation?partial, total, open or
covert?is threatened or suspected. Then, why
have they used full $500,000,000 of the taxes
drawn from the people of this country, to uphold
a despotic military authority, and to crush out the
life of the States, when if this monev had been
used to pay our debts, capitalists would now seek
to lend us money at lower rates of interest. But
for thiscovert repudiation, our national credit would 1
not be tainted in the markets of thd world. Again '
they declare of all who were faithful in the trials
of the late war, there were none entitled to more 1
especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen |
who endured the hardships of campaign and cruise, '
and imperiled their lives in r.he service of their 1
^ country. The bounties and pensions provided by 1
-. the laws are obligations never to be forgotten. The 1
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the
wards of the people?a sacrea trust bequeathed to 1
the nation's care. How have these been performed? 1
They pay to maimed men. to the widow, or to the
orphan, a currency which they have sunk one- '
quarter below its rightful value by their policy of j
hate, of waste, and of military despotism, the pit- '
tances paid to the wounded soldiers, and pinched 1
down twenty-five per cent, below the vilue of that i
coin which he had a right to expect Is there no
covert repudiation in this? Again they say, for
eigu immigration, which, in the past, has added
so much to the wealth, development end resour- 1
ees, and increase of power to this republic?the 1
asylum of the oppressed of all nations?should be
fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy.
Is this foreign immigration fostered by a poli- 1
cv which, in cruel mockery of laws jusl passed, de- 1
daring eight hours to be a legal day's'labor. But :
the cost of Government and of swanns of officials 1
to swell the cost of living, that men must toil on 1
to meet these exactions. The time was when we 1
could not only invite Europeans to share with us '
the material blessings of our great country; but 1
more than that, we could tell those who fled from 1
oppression, that we lived under a Government of 1
laws, administered by the judiciary, which kept '
the bayonet and the sword in due subordination. '
^ We could point to a written Constitution, which 1
not only marked out the powers of Government, ;
but with anxious care secured to the humblest man
the rights of property, of person and of conscience.
Is immigration encouragea by trampling that Constitution
in the dust?treating it with contempt? 1
shackling the judiciary?insulting the Executive? '
and giving all the world to understand that the 1
great guarantees of .political and social rights are 1
destroyed? But the crowning indictment against i
the follies and crimes of those in power is in these 1
words: "That we recognize the great principles 1
laid down in the immortal Declaration of Inde- 1
pendence as the true foundation of Democratic
Government, and wo hail with gladness every effort
toward making these principles a living reality '
on every inch of American 6oil. If within the
limits of ten States of this Union an American citi- ]
zen, stung by a sense of his wrongs, should publicly
and truthfully denounce the men in power, because
in the very language of this Declaration of
Independence, they have erected a multitude of
new officers and sent hither a swarai of officers to
harass our people and eat out their substance, he
would, in all human probability, be dragged to a
prison, or if, in the indignant language or our fatb- ,
era, he should exclaim: "They have affected to
render the military independent of and superior to
the civil power, they have abolished the free sys- ,
tern of English laws and established here an arbitral?
Governmentfor the offence of asserting '
these principles, he wottldhetriedand punished by
a-mHtfarytrihuual. Having declared that the principles
of die Declaration of Independence i
should be made a "living reality on every inch of
American soil," they put in nomination a military
chieftain who stands at the head of that system of 1
despotisms that crushed beneath its feet the great- (
est principle of the Declaration of Independence. (
To-day, in some States, it is held by military or- '
ders to be a crime to speak out the indignation and
oontempt which burn within the bosom of patriotic 1
men. If, to-morrow, a military order should be ]
put forth in that State where the ashes of Wash- 1
mgton are entombed,' thai it should be an'offence 1
to declare that the military should ever be subor- 1
dinate to the civil authority?to speak out the sen- *
timent that was a disgrace to our couutiy, to let J
hordes of officials eat up the substance of the peo- *
pie, he who uttered these words could be dragged j
to prison from the very grave where lie the re- 1
mains of the author of the Declaration of Inde- 1
pendence. From this outrage, there could be no
appeal to the courts, and the Republican candi- I
date for the Presidency has accepted a position ]
which makes the rights and liberties of a large 1
share of our people dependent upon his will. In 1
view of these things, can there be one man in this i
Convention who can let a personal ambition, a pas- J
sion j a prejudice, turn him aside one hair's-breadth J
in his efforts to wipe off the wrongs and outrages }
which disgraoe our country? Can there be one J
matt whose heart is so dead to all that is great and
noble in patriotism, that he will not gladly sacrifice
all other things for the sake of his country, its i
[liberties and its greatnoss? Can we suffer any *
prejudices growing out of past differences of opin- 9
lon to binder us uniting now with all who will act I:
with us to save ouf country 7 We meet to-dav to j
see what measures can be taken to avert the aan- 1
gere which threaten our countiy, and to relieve it a
from the evils and burdens resulting from govern- c
?ent and unwise counsels. I thank God that the i
strife of arms has ceased, and that once more in t
the great conventions of our party, we can call c
through the whole roll of States and find men to \
answer to each. Time and events in the great a
cydes have brought us to this spot to renew and r
re-invigorate that Constitutional Government, e
which, nearly eighty years ago, was inaugurated a
in this city. It was here that George- Washing- j
ton?the first President?swore tp "preserve pro- j
tectand defend" the Constitution or the United t
States. And here this day we as solemnly pledge i
ourselves to uphold the rights and liberties of the ]
American people. Then, as now, a great war, t
which had desolated our land, had ceased. Then, a
as now, there was in every patriotic breast a long- c
ing for the blessings of good government, for the e
protection of laws, and for sentiments of fraternal j
regard and affection among the inhabitants of alt d
the States of this Union. When our Govern- c
ment, in 1789, was inaugurated in this city, there r
were glad processions or ?en, and those manifesta- f
tions of great joy which a people show when they c
feel that an event has happened which is to give d
lasting blessings to the lana. To-day, in this same r
spirit, this vast assemblage meets, and the streets t
of tjiis city are thronged with men who have come t
from the utmost borders of our continent Tbey o
are filled with the hope that we ore about, by our
actions and our policy, to bring back the blessings h
of good government. It is among the happiest j(
omens which inspirit us now, that those who r
fought bravely in our late civil war are foremost in I
their demand that there shall be peace in our land, a
The passions of hate and malice may linger in c
meaner breasts, but we find ourselves upheld in t
our generous purposes by those who showed true p
courage and manhood on the fields of battle. In b
the spirit, then, of George Washington and of the n
patriots of the revolution, let us take the steps to r
re-inagurate our Government, to start it once again fl
on its course to greatness and prosperity. May t;
Almighty God give us the wisdom to carry out our o
purposes, to give eveiy State of our Union the b
blessings of peace, good order and fraternal affection.

GOV. ORR'S LAST COMMUNICATION. f(
THE PUBLIC DEBT. f
By reference to the report of the Comptroller- J]
General, addressed to this Department on the 25th t]
of November; 1867, a copy of which is herewith n
transmitted, it will be seen that the entire public a
debt of the State, on the 1st day of October last,
together with the interest which had accrued up
to the same date, amounted to $8,378,255.64. De- n
ducting from this sum all the bonds and stocks issued
between 1860 and 1865 for military purposes,
and the interest on the same, amounting to $2,- a
854,679.08, the debt due by the State on the 1st *
of October last was $5,523,576.56. Of this sum a
$5,407,215.23 is the principal, and $116,361.33'is 5
interest. While this debt is small as compared u
with that of many other States, yet, in the present .
impoverished condition of the people of South Car- 1
olina, the annual payment of $331,414.59, which c
is the interest upon the debt at 6 per cent., in ad- 0
dition to the maintenance of the State government, e
would be excessively oppressive.
The contingent liability of the State from en- 11
dorsements of railroad bonds, is as follows: e
South Carolina Railroad bonds, payable in 18S8, a
secured by first mortgage $2,093,312 40 g
Charleston and Suvoniuih Railroad bonds, payable ?
in March, 1877, secured by first mortgage '505,000 00
North-Eastern Railroad bonds, payable in March 1,
1869, secured by first mortgage 92,000 00
Laurens Railroad bonds, payable in 1879, secured
by first mortgage 76,000 00 tl
Spartanburg and Union Rollmad bonds, payable in O
1876 and 1879, secured by first mortgage 350,000 00 .
Greenville and Columbia Railroad bonds, payable in
1881,1882, 1883 and 1886 945,471 21 C
Of the endorsements upon the Greenville and 0
Columbia Railroad bonds, $700,000 is under au- $
thority of the Act of 1861; and $203,848.89 is un- ^
der the authority of the Act of 1866, passed for ?the
purpose of enabling the Company to pay the e
interest past due and to fall due prior to the 1st of $
January, 1868, upon coupons ana upon the mortgage
and guaranteed bonas. This guarantee is up- u
on certificates of indebtedness. The sura of $41,- 1
622.38 is upon the outstanding debt of the Cora- t<
Eany, upon which there is no lien?the guarantee a
aving; been made where the holders or demands t'
upon the Company surrendered three dollars of de- d
maud for one dollar of bonds.
The Ordinance of the Convention, adopted on o
the 15th of March, 1868, declares "That all Acts
or pretended Acts of legislation, purpoting to have a
been passed by the General Assembly of the State, ?
since the 20th day of December, A. D., 1860, u
pledging the faith and credit of the State for the 1
benefit of any corporate body or private individual, b
ire hereby suspended and declared inoperative un- b
tU the General Assembly shall assemble and ratify P
the same."
It is unnecessary to enter into any discussion at S
the present time concerning the legal force and el- Q
feet of the Ordinances passed by the Convention,
various opinions being entertained as to the ques- n
tion of legal validity. But, in any point of view, 6'
to remove all apprehension upon the subject of the a>
bonds of the Greenville ana Columbia Railroad h
Company, now held by citizens of the State, and 4
guaranteed by the State, I recommend that the ti
Act of 1861, authorizing the issue of $900,000 of P
bonds, and the Act of 1866, providing for the a
guarantee of certificates of indebtedness, and also 61
of bonds one for three to satisfy other indebtedness a
of the Company upon which no lien existed, be w
validated by the action of your body. Persons tl
holding bonds under the Act of 1861 hold them in b
in lieu of the original mortgage bonds due them by ^
the Company, which mortgage bonds were sur- "
rendered to the Company?the guaranteed bonds Cl
of the State being taken in payment of the same, v
upon the faith of the Act of 1861. It would ope- tl
rate as a gross fraud upop these bond-holders now n
to declare their bonas void. Common honestv ti
would require, if the Act is not validated, that all b
persons holding guaranteed bonds should be allow- $
ed the privilege of surrendering the same, and of
receiving in lieu thereof the original mortgage r'
bonds of their duplicates. These remarks apply &
with equal force to the bonds of the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad Company, and bonds of the t<
South Railroad Company, and are entitled to p
your early consideration. u
It is believed that bonds thus endorsed to the si
imount of nearly $3,000;000 will be promptly liquidated
by the companies as they fall due, and n
mat the guarantee of the State will be discharged ei
to that extent As to the remainder, there is tl
more doubt; but in no contingency is it probable tl
that in consequence of the failure of the companies Vi
to meet their Donds, the State will have to provide h
Tor more than $700,000. p
The report of the Comptroller-General further shows V
that the cash balance on hand, on the 1st dny of n
October, 1866, amounted to $211,190 83 t,
rtiat the receipts from all Bourcesfrom the 1st of Oc ?
tober, 1866, to the 1st of October, 1867, wan 454,302 23 p
Making a total of $065,498 00
This includes of Bills Receivable $222,000, which S<
hod been signed, clipped and carried to cash, pur- W
suant to the provisions of the Act of 1865, authorizing
their issue. The expenditures during the
same period were 474,453 37 g]
Leaving on the 1st of October, 1867, a cash balance
in the Treasury of 191,039 69 e.!
The report of the Treasurer, made to this De- ^
partment and herewith transmitted, shows the op- J
erations of the Treasury from the 1st day of Octo- J1
ber, 1867, to the 1st day of May, 1868.
Prom this statement it will be perceived that on the "
1st of October, the baiance of cash on hand was.. $191,039 69
The total receipts of the Treasury from oil sources <
(luce that time has been 303,387 73 1
Which, added to the cash on band, made the avail e<
nble means of the Treasury 494,127 4$)

This amount will be very materially reduced dt*
ing the month of May, by the presentation of
ilaims against the Treasury for payment before the
sxpiration of the term of the present administration.
v':
It will be observed, from the report of the Treasurer,'that
thO'Convention levied a tax which it
vas supposed would realize the sura of $75,000.
Sufficient returns have not been received from the
mrious tax collectors of the State to enable him to
ay whether the calculation will prove correct The
ictual sums drawn from the Treasury, by order of
Vlajor-General Canby, to defray the expenses of
he Convention, amount to $110,000, which is. an
sxpenditure of $35,000 more than was provided
'or by the tax bill of the Convention, assuming
hat said bill raised the estimated amount
By the Act of December, 1865, authority was
jiven to the Treasurer and Comptroller-jGleneial to
ssue $500,000 of Bills Beoeivable. These oflioera
bund that it was not necessary to print more than
vere embraced in the first contract with the engravers,
to wit: $390,000. Of this sum only $222,XX)
have been signed and carried to cash in the

TAXES AND TAXATION.
No duty is ever devolved upon tLo legislator in
rUIYILJK DUl/U UWIIVOVU ailU iniuiubu luvviviko ht> vttw*
?hich looks to the creation of a just and equitable
ystem of taxation. It is an accepted troth in poitical
economy, that in levying taxes npon the peo)le,
it should be done in a manner which wOJ ena>le
them to pay the same with the greatest facility
ind without unnecessary oppression. The sodden
ihange in the system of labor which has prevailed
n South Carolina for so many years; the defitrucion
of more than one half of the estimated wealth
if the State by the abolition of slavery; the devastation
of cities, towns, villages, farms and homeiteads,
by the ravages of war, and by invading and
etreating armies; the disastrous drought which
ixisted throughout the State in 1866, cutting off
ilmost entirely the cotton and greatly reducing the
>revision crop, thereby rendering it necessary to
mrchase large supplies from abroad for the subsisence
of the population; the great reduction, in
nany sections of the State: of the cotton crop of
867, by the spoliation of the caterpillar and the
toll worm ; and the pressure of debts contracted
interior to the war, when the basis of wealth and
iredit was so essentially different from that which
ixists at the present time, admonish us thai the
>eople of South Carolina are unable to bear a borlen
of taxation which, prior to the accumulation
if these misfortunes, would have been deemed
noderate and inconsiderable. Whether, ihereore,
you look to the contentment of the population
?r the material prosperity of the State, it ia the
lictate of wisdom that you should exercise the
nost rigid economy and reduce expenses by curailing
salaries and dispensing with all appropriaions
not absolutely necessary to the administration
f the State government
The taxation of the present and preceding year
las been a subject matter of great complaint. The
irge number of tracts of land, as well as other
iroperty, levied upon by Sheriffs in the various
districts, for the non-payment of taxes, unmistakbly
evinces the extreme difficulty encountered by
itisens in raising money to meet this demand of
he State. Whenever taxation becomes thus opiressive
upon a population, its influence cannot
ut prove disastrous, because it tends first to demoralization,
to dishonesty, to the making of false
eturns; and secondly, it is calculated to drive
rom the State a valuable portion of the communiy,
to seek other localities where the remuneration
f labor and capital is not paralyzed by such heavy
urdeng.
The expenses of the Convention, and cf the
resent session of your Legislatuce?whose labors
annot, in justice to the various changes proposed
i the new Constitution, be terminated short of
mur months?will, of themselves, add to the excnses
of the State not less than $250,000. The
udiciary system, which you are required, under
he Constitution, to put into operation, will prove
luch more expensive than that which now exists,
nd add to these burdens.
To illustrate: the expenses of grand jurors for
he city of Charleston and for the country, assu- !
ling that they are occupied but three days at each
mrm, will be $13,824. For petit jurors for the I
lourt of Sessions, three terms for city and oountry
ssumingan average of five days per term, $51,840.
'or petit jurors for Courts of Common Plea;!, city
nd country, two terms, five days per term, $34,60;
making a total expenditure for jurors alone,
nder the new Constitution, of $99,224.
The whole expense for jurors and constables for
he year ending 1st October, 1867, (and this inludes
them for the District Courts,) amounted to
nly $42,292.88; showing a ndbessary increase of
xpense for this service alone of $56,931.12.
This evil may be obviated to some extent by
modifying the law so as to provide for panels not
xceeding eighteen in number for grand jurors,
nd twenty-Tour petit jurors, with authority to
i- .i- j-e-: ii o it.?
appiy me ueucieucv at iuc icrui ui iuc tuuii,
hould there be any, by drawing talesJurors.
The expense of dieting prisoners will not be less
ban $50,000; for continuing the construction of
be Penitentiary and for guarding and subsisting
onvicts, not less than $75,000: for salaries, acording
to estimates, $80;000; for contingent acounts,
$60,000 ; for public printing, $10,(XO; for |
ontingent fund of the Executive Department,
20,000; for the Lunatic Asylum, $20,000; for
be University, $12,000; for claims against the
Itate, $10,000; for other expenses, ordinary and
xtraordinary, $40,000; making a sum total of
476,224; to which add for expenses of the Legilature,
$150,000; for deficit the present year
nder Gen. Canby's tax order, ending October 1, <
868, $100,000; and $331,414.59?being the invest
on the State debt due 1st October, 1868? 1
nd the amount to be raised by taxation will reach
be enormous sum of $1,057,638.59, without one
ollar being appropriated for free schools.
To redeem the Bills Receivable, which may be
utstanding on the 1st day of October next, to pay
be interest upon the State debt which may be due
t that time, and to furnish sufficient funds to
arry on the operations of the State government
ntil the taxes may be collected in the spring of
869, I recommend that $1,000,000 be borrowed
y the State upon bonds, provided the bonds can
e disposed of at no greater discount than twenty
ercent
It is now believed by the financial officers of the
tate, in which opinion I concur, that the tax or- |
er of Gen. Canby, together with the tax levied by
be Convention, will not realize to the Treasury 1
?ore than $375,000. There is one striking ana
ven alarming fact with reference to the pecuniary
nd financial condition of the State, to which it is ;
ere proper to advert. Notwithstanding the or- J
er or General Canby, providing for a more par- i
cular and accurate assesment of real estate the i
resent year, than has been made heretofore, '
revision of the ^ assessments shows a very con- 1
Iderable decline in the value of all real estate '
nd town property. Lands in the country are j
orth from fifty to one hundred per cent less ,
ran they were on the 1st of September, 1865.? <
fearly as great a depreciation exists in the vil- iges,
towns and cities of the State, especially
here the lots are not yielding rents. The above
atimate, which it will be necessary for you to proide
for, embraces only the ordinary expenses of .
le State governments anchdocs not include the aioant
necessary for free or public schools. If the :
ixes of the present year proved oppressive to all i
ranches of industry in the State, and yielded but 1
375,000, the expenditures of the nextyear should, >
nnssihle. bp curtailed hv the reduction of sala- J
es and otherwise, so as not to exceed that sum, 1
sclusive of interest on the public debt.
By the new Constitution, the poll tax is required )
be appropriated exclusively to educational puroses;
and, under the circumstanoes, it would be
nwise, in my judgment, to appropriate any other ,
lm.
The taxing power is always a delicate one to ,
lanage, and is invariably regarded by the tax pay- <
r with jealousy. In the recent political changes
tat have occurred, the fact cannot be denied that
ic General Assembly are the representatives of a '
ery inconsiderable proportion of the property- .
olders and tax-payers of the State. The colored
opulation, who constitute the large majority of :
oters, have little property; and yet, all the ex- \
ensive machinery of courts, juries, jails, and the
'enitentiary, is as much to give protection to their
ereons and property as to the tax payer himself;
nd it would seem to be only right and proper that
>rae portion of this burden of taxation should be orne
by this most numerous class of society. If
ie General Assembly, regardless of these views, .
lould levy the entire tax of the State upon proprty,
it would necessarily lead to much dissatisfac- ,
on and discontent among the class thus taxed? I
ery many of whom are not only prohibited from
lling any official position in the State, but are ac- "
lally excluded from the privilege of the elective
anchise.
The New York Times remarks: "The color- *
1 men in South Carolina have begun pretty
promptly, to^otery out the dqctriog4h?t to tlte victor
belongs the spoiR^A Mr. Whippet-,' 'Northern
negro,' cracked his lash over his Republican
brethren at the organization of the .Legislature,
and claimed that a Mack' speaker should to elected.
He was unsuccessful, for a white one, Mr. Moses,
was the fortunate map. However, it was a warn?
ing that if the freedmen are going to pull chesnuts
out of the fire they will hereafter demand a share
of the fruit In a few veals from this tithe we
shall have both parties pledging offices for colored
votes, and perhaps in raptures over that 'rich negrobrogue.'"
