E. B. KUKItAY, Editor. THURSDAY MORNING, FEB. 17. 1881. TJDRM3: ONE YEAR.?1.00. BIX MONTHS. 75c. Two Dollars If not paid in [Advance. STANLEY MATTHEWS IN DISTRESS. The Hon. Stanley Matthews appears to have very little chance to become an As eociato Justicu of the Supremo Court, although Mr. Hnyes bas nominated him for the position. Tho nomination has bung fire in tho Judiciary Committeo of tho Senate, and the opposition bas be come eo strong that the Committee will probably not report it to the Senate be fore tho 4th of March, at which time it will fail. If the Committeo does report the nomination it is generally bel loved the Senate will reject it, and thereSy Baye the country from an unfit judicial officer. A number of Democrats oppose the con firmation of Mr. Matthews for political reasons and because of bis unfitness. Mr. Conkling opposes bim for tho pur poso of giving a Inst lick ut President Hayes, and the friends of General Gar field oppose him because they think thc new President should bo allowed to make the selection. Between all of these sources of opposition we think Mr. Mat thews will not become an Associate Jus tico of the Supreme Court. RETIRING IN CONTEMPT. President Hayes* administration will terminate on thc 4th of next month, and no President bas over retired in more profound contempt from all portions of the Union. He is generally admitted never to have been elected, and both Democrats and Republicans do not hesi tate to pronounce him an unqualified fruid. He has ohown by his appoint ments that he fully recognizes the fact himself that bo waa made President by a set of perjured rascals, and has been very careful in giving to them all tho promo tion possible. Not only bas bo tnken cafe of Wells, Anderson, Cassinave, and the like, but his gratitude has extended to the more respectable, though no less culpable, class of visiting statesmen, who went to the troublo to seo a fair (?) count and help him through tho Elec toral Commission. Therefore we find Sherman and Evarts in his Cabinet, and Stanley Matthews nominated for the Su premo Court. He lins not done any act in tho four years that rises to nobility. He will retire "unwept, unhonored and unloved," an example of triumphant fraud, illustrating tho truth of th? nhl maxim that it is bsttnr to fail deservios fliiccess thnn to succeed deserving failure. TUE VICE-PRESIDENCY. The rumor that Vice-President-elect General C. A. Arthur is not a nativo of the United State*, and that be in, there fore, constitutionally ineligible for the office to which he was elected, gains force and probability to such un extent that the Senate bns determined tn investigate tho facts of tho case with a view to ascer tain tho truth and, if General Arthur be not a native of this country, to prevent his inauguration on tho 4th of at*. March. Ho claims to huvo been born in a country town of Vermont, but tho most careful inquiry there fails to develop the correctness of the claim. HIB parents wero married in the United States, but about tho timo of his birth resided in Pnnailo Tl.?.. -f?_-1- ...-J . - ? ;.x.jf SI.vi ???iuo ictumi-u ii* the United States. It is claimed by tboso who oppose tho inauguration of General Arthur that he was born during the residence of bis parents in Canada, which would make bim ineligible fur either the Presidency or Vice-Presidency of tho United States. This would make tho President pro tem. of the Senate on tho 4th of March next vice-President, which would give the oflico to tho De mocracy in the person of Hon. Allen'G. Thurman, of Ohio. It would bo a little Avngulnr to seo tbe President and Vice President both from tho snmo 1 State. People would begin to think in truth that it is lucky to be n citizen of Ohio. A YINDIC *TION OF TUE! STATE. . Senntor Butler's speech, in reply to Conkiing's campaign slanders of South Carolina in reference to the late census, is a manly and proper vindication of the people he represents before the world. It ia nono too severo upon the vainglori ous and insolent Conkling. He lind falsified the peoplo of this State, and knew it, without seeking to correct his mdicioua and unfounded statements. His speech was before tho country, und it was duo to our State and creditable to our Senator to present tho facts and properly characterise tho infamy of the !?w instincts which could induce a man whom associations with the representa tivo min of the nation should inspiro o moro lofty and honorable mod?? of cam paign than one of vicious and splenetic slander. This speech has not been pala table to the stalwart press, nor was lt delivered for their comfort. They were pariicepet erinunu with Mr. Conkling in the falsehood and slander. Tho con demnation of Mr. Conkling reflected upon them, and, course, they were naturally expected to como' to tho sup port of their confederate and ally. They have dono so in a very handsome man ner, ?huwii?iai they are not only win ing to tell a fnlsoliood, but that they are ready to malign any man who attempts to expose that falsehood. Until they show that G?nerai Butler lins misrepre sented tho facts, all the denunciation they can heap upon him will neither barm bim nor injure the South. There is enough of intelligence and virtue left in -this country to distinguish between denunciation and jua. censure. No mao can be put down before the country by telling the truth, wbe.ro that truth is made to appear as plainly as it does in Senator Butler's ?peech. No man can vind?calo himself by lordly dis/ <n and insolence wbero hs is so clearly /* meted of false hood as Mr. Conkling has been. Senator Sailer bas shown bis usual judgment, independence and good sense in this tatt &ft and by it ha? held tho Turkey. Senator from New York up be.'oro ountry in his true. Ifght, ns un wr.Hby of belief, and, at thc same Mme, '?>.Y> uuticductly presented the conclusivo inch vindicates this Bute from REO UL ATINO RAILROADS. Judge Woods, of tim United States Circuit Court of 'Georgia, who has re cently been promoted to thc position ol Associate Justice of thc Supreme Court of the United Slate, lus just made a very important decision in reference to the powers of a Slate to regulate rail roads. The State of Georgia appointed a Railroad Commission of three mem bers, with powers to regulate the freights and passage upon railroads in thal State, and under the powers vested in them, ?hey recently determined to reduce thc passenger rates to three cents per mile overall first-class ronds, and accordingly so ordered. The Macon and Brunswick Road re fused to obey und brought suit to text the question, contending that thc prop erty was that of individuals who had vested right* that could not be interfered with hy thc State. Thc Slnlc, to put the question briefly, denied the conclusions of the complaint, and upon thc submis sion of tho case Judge Wood? held the Georgia laws to bc constitutional, and sustained tho action of tho Railroad Commissioner of that Slate. This is a great victory for thoro ?"ho oppose the terrible monopoly which railroads of Inte have been disposed to establish. Th? result of this decision will be healthy, not only in preventing further encroach ment by tho road?, but will give strength and courage to the people everywhere to correct ninny evils which now exist. South Carolina should adopt the Georgia railroad law. President Hayes has received a great dcul nf praiso for introducing n temper ance reform ut the While Home dinners. An exchango thinks, however, that a "puk of parsimony rather than of reform actuated him in buiiUhing wine and brandy from the White House, and backs up its opinion by saying that if Mr. Hayes was sincere tu wishing to set an cxamplo of temp?rance, ho would not only have no wines at his own dinners, hut would also abstain from drinking theso beverages nt other people's dinners, fnaiunuch as ho docs not nuHtuiu when nw ay from home, the legitimate conclu sion M that he docs not usc wines nt home hecausc he wishes to avoid tho expense. When awuy from home ho drinks nt other people's expense. Thc temperance people will never gain anything from such examples ns Rutherford B. Hayes. Thc speech of our Representative, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, which wc publish ibis week, is a strong and candid ututo ment of tho condition of affairs in thin ?tato, which will no doubt do good. We think this speech le .the best of Co!. Aiken's efforts in Congress, and have no doubt it will moot 'he approbation of his entire Democratic cons-ituency. A train on the Savannah and Charles ton Railroad fell into the trestle approaching tito river last week without injuring any person. One bench waa knocked out of piuco, und t?.o milea of tho trestlcing fell. It was an extensive wreck not to have dono moro damage.

Henry Johnson relates tho following story : Ho says that ho was stnying at the bouRO of John Davis, and suspected that he was trying tn poisou him, and that he wer.t to Orange Isaacs, who is claimed to ho a root doctor, and told him of it. Orange enid that ho also had a grudge against Davis, and that he hud the power ot witchcraft and could administer a cer tain medicine thal would free him of nil responsibility for his acts, nnd proposed to Johnson tn give him n charm ana take one himself and kill Davis. Johnson agreed to take tho charm and obey all instruction. Ornnjie then told him lo obtain a gun and bring it to him, which ho did. Orango thou sent him t~> the road with orders to knock ou tho fence when Davin paused. At 12 o'clock m. last Saturday Johnson gavo thc signal and Orango carno tn tho road with his gun. They followed him to a pine thicket, and Orange, having approached to within lon ynrds of Davis, tired and shot him io the back of tho bead, killing him in atnntly.

Congressman Aiken KioriUc? lt ultu Murd In tho Iloutiu of Hf|)re^'eatutivc4, on Saturday last, tho Apportionment Bill being under consideration, Congressman Aiken tqmke as follows : After thc admirable speeches made to day by thc gentleman from Connecticut (Slr. Hawley) and thu gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Robinson) I had boped that Ibis discussion might have been continued upon that niano of states manship which they hau inaugurated, and that partisan prejudices would no more be beard in tint) debate. Hut my good friend from Indiana, (Mr. Calkins,) 'whose attention I now invoke, han thought proper to present somo very per tinent questions, which I propose directly to answer. Prom the remarks of my friend aud of Minc of tho4u who preceded bim on that ride of the House, I am impressed that if there is any pharisaical righteousness on earth it is to be found in tho Repub lican party whenever questions pertain ing to the South are di^cuissd by them. To-day they seem to bc solicitous whether or not a large proportion of tho people of the Routh nro permitted to vote, nnd the question is raised by them whether it is not tho duty of Congress to appoint a committee of investigation upon this BUbjcct. 1 ask ny friend from Indiano (Mr. Calkins) ?nd his colleagues why is this a latter day thought with them 7 Why did they not desire to investigate this subject when Republican rascality and extrava gance were running riot over the South and none but Republican votes wero cust? I hold in my hand, sir, a Con gressional Directory for 187 1, of the first session of the Forty-third Congress, and in turning to my own Slate I find that J. H. Rainey received in the First District 19,763 votes as a Republican, "hoing all tho votes thnt were cast," eu tho Direc tory ?tates. From tho samo source I learn that A. J. Hausier wan elected us a Republican from another District, receiv ing 20,001 votes against 6,040 votes casi tor W. Ourncy, Independent Republican, not a singlo Democratic voto being casi in the District. In tho Thiid District which I have thc honor to repreaont, R H. Elliott, the candidate for thc Repub lican party, received 2i,627 votes, whih only 1,094 votes were cabt for W. H McCnw, Democrat. Ono year later J ti rid L. C. Carpenter, Republican, wa elected to fill au unexpired term, Elliot huving resigned, und received 23,18? vote?, ns is recorded in tho Directory .'Ibero being no organized opposition." Why in it that ibis pnrty of great mora ideas, which then controlled the execu tive und legislative branches of our Gov cr?ment, did nut think it incumhen upon them to have Congressional inve? ligation of this one-sided condition c things 7 Hut let us come a little nearer to th present limo. In tho Directory of i?/o find that at tho election ot 187-1 E. W M. Mackey, a Republican, receive 16,742 votes, and thal C. W. Huttz, also Republican, received nt tho same tim 14,204 " ites ; no record t.- bo found of Democratic vote being cast in the Dh trict. ls it not strange, Mr. S peake that this party, whoso representatives o this floor uro so clamorous for fair an freo elections, did not consider it tho duty to investigate at that timo thee anomalous elections? But, sir. this same Republican part; to day so just, so fair, so moral, at thi time so callous, RU insensible to the righ of Southern volera, are now demandin thnt all election districts shall be ton posed of contiguous counties. Sir, silo mc to instance but a si ugle cese o' Ri publican gerrymandering during tho revelry, extravagance nnd prodigality i South Carolina. The Third Congres ional District wns composed of the cout ties of Abbeville, Anderson, Lauren Newberry, Oconee, Picken^ and Rici land, and no portion of Richland Conni is within perhaps fifteen miles of ar point of either of tho remaining couuti which constitute, the District, Lexingtt County, which lins a Democratic majori of about 1,000, intervening betwee Richland nnd Newberry. Tho gcntlcmnu (Mr. Callina) mutti) m?Hnnrjpraiiind me Ei saving that it W tho number of troops that .overawi South Carolina during the six years which I have alluded, and during whit time I hnvo chown there were no Dem eratic votes cast. Wo refrained fro v.iting not because wc were afraid of tl mllitury force present, but becuuso \ protested ngftinst that usurpation power that authorized tho presence tho military ut the ballot-box. We b licved then, os now, that we wero aga in thc Union and had thc right to cast free ballot, which could not bc done th* presence of tho suzerainty of ll bayonet. Sir, wp wero subservient obedient to thc ' Federal authoritii Gen. Ruger wus thou in command South Carolina, nnd had ho hung up 1 old boots In the Capitol aud wrilt ubove them. "Ho who shnll dare thc boots diBpiaco, must meet the Unit States faco to face," thc order would ba been implicitly obeyed by evciy citiz of tho State, and th. ie c'd boots wou hnvo been ns potent in executing t commands of tho go\eminent os t times tho number of voldicrs as were tb iu tho State. It r.as not thc power, s but tho presence of the bayonet tl: drove Democratic voters from tho po during those nix long yearn of nnnrc and oppression. Sir, in 1873 I mys told a soldier nt tho polls, "I will not vi under duress; tho Constitution entit me to tho privilege of voting as n fri man, nnd there is no freedom under tl bayonet." For thal reason, and for tl reason nlone, sir, I refrained from volii and so did thc Democrats of tho State But the Republican party claim tl tho negroes of the 8outh must of nee ?itv voto tho Republican ticket. Po: bly thero was an ostensible reason this thought some years ago ; but to d thero exist potential causes for a redi lion of the" Republican p>ro voto every election. The int'. ' Yjtnnlity tho race is improving, tho moro thrift; them are acquiring property and been lng taxpayers, nnd find u Democratic T?:p5r^i;:;y ;? s ?>nr??rinOm? lu ino u payera than n Republican governme and thousands of the mure ignorant r timid have been rescued by their hum. ' employers from the oppression of th Union League.-, and other jesuitical ganlzations of their race. [Laugh nnd groans on tho Republican sic Gentlemen may grunt and laugh sard ?cn??y al ibis remark, but lt is liters true. I have myself accompanied < ored men to the ballot-box who, H fear and trembling, asked and recel protection while they voted the D?; eratic iicsct. You men of the No know nothing about the colored rac< the South. Yon ar? ignorant of tl manners, customs, traits of cbarac and their wants; and the gcntleu from Michigan, a thousand miles ai from any portion of the South, and cf men most ignorant of the people of t section, presuming io read us a lesson to how we should deal with the cole mani If the threats and warnings elicited the proceedings of this House from Stalwart portion of the Republican p: are to be credited, we may anticip?t? a few more fres elections in tho ?jot As a* Southern farmer I bare a grei Interest in the welfare of the cole people of the South than all the gea men on that side of this Chamber, cause upon them and their labor 11 mine axe, and always esr .at to be, pendent for our support. But, sir, id titled from birth with tba peoplo of South nnd actuated by the Instinct honesty >nd candor, 1 declare ita? conviction that further and cootia Congressional intericrence with our e tiona will result So arraying race ?gis race to the detriment of the negro. whatever fate may befall the South, the white people Of that section, prompted by tho fir.t lew of nature, will never again quietly submit lo negro domina* lion. Eight long yean' subjection to nu oppression unknown to modern civiliza tion is not to be forgotten in a genera tion. In South Carolina, and I believe a similar sentiment pervades thc South, we desiro to seo the negro elevated. But, sir, a con*ummiition of that desire tn'// never be attain ul by a second degradation of the ir hite man. You may draw your party lines upon color ; we will meet you there and extinguish them. Our destiny is to live in the South with the negro, and we expect to work lhat destiny peacefully, difficult as the problem may neem. But it political legislation denies us, or subvert? our rights upon tho pre sumption that wo have in any wiso cur tailed thc rights of the colored man, just then and there we will have reached that time in the South anticipated by the honorable gentleman from Michigan, when he expressed a fear lest civil liberty would be destroyed unless election resulis could bo changed in that section. But if the American people will only repose confidence In the Southern whites and grant them thc opportunities circurn hUiices present. I have little doubt but ?hat this problem will be solved satisfac nrilv to both races, and ultimately result in tiie elevation nf the negro, and the continued and, I pray God, the everlast ing political quiet between the two sec tions on his account. A few more word? and I have done. Allusion hos been frequently made du ring thia debate to tho small Republican vote throughout the South in the rece t Presidential election, and it has been re iterated that it COUld not 1>0 accounted for upon just ground*. For the first time aince I have been a member of Congrer-H have I heard tho South censured and South Carolina escape more than the lion's ?hare of thc abuse. But it seem* th? recent vote in that State ha** given satisfaction to tboso who, for the purpose of this debate, have bewildered them selves with arithmetical calculations. Perhaps those gentlemen are not aware that during the Instcampaign South Car olina had no Republican Stnto ticket in nomination, and in only n few instance! a county ticket to represent the Republi can party in the campaign of 1880. Thc ghost of intimidation doubtless presents ttfolf to tho mind of every Republican within the sound of my voice nt the very announcement of such a fact. But that Huch a thought ia a mere phantom let me provo by printing as n portion of my re marks a letter received this morning from a resident lawyer of this city, who is, perhaps, the brightest intellect that South Carolina ever gave to the Repub lican party. He bus lately settled in this city, and yesterday afternoon I addressed him a noto asking whether ho was not a member of tho Republican Slate Con vention of South Carolina, and if he did not publish a letter advising against | flacing a Republican ticket in the field, have his reply, and will print it: WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 5,1881. Dear Sir: I have your favor of yester- | dny, and, in reply, would say that I did publish such a letter as you inquire about. Tho National Republican party had been injured, and that of tho Stnto broken down and ruined by our running unfit men for office. I know we bud not tho material for a State ticket in South Carolina, and I felt confident that if we forcboro to nominate one, tho Dem?crata would bo more likely to divide, run "In dependents," and thus sooner contribute the material needed tn build up a respect able and atrong Republican party ; one not in name merely, b'it in principle and Usefulness. Entertaining these views, I declined moa' pressing solicitations to allow my nnmo used before tho Conven tion. I am, very ti'dv v^uii, WM. E. EARLE. Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, House of Repre sentatives. Now, thia is a letter from an intelligent South Carolinian, born and reared upon her soil, who is a Republican from prin ciple ; and it contains two incontroverti ble (ruthi); first, that the Republican party in South Carolina hud not material enough in it from which to select a rotate ticket ; and, secondly, that thu only hopo of securing that material is to dissever .

As well may you or they expect to break the "Solid South" by continually heaping abuses upon those who com poso it. My friend from Indiana (Mr. Calkins) with much fervor and great emphasis, aska, What is a carpet-bagger ? In reply I say he is apolitical legalized burglar; that is just what a carpet bagger is, {laughter and applause on tho Demo cratic side;] and l say to my friend if he will come to South Caroline, with a view or identifying himself with the State-, intending to become a citizen, claiming the protection of thal flag that floats over our Sneaker's chair, and demanding the right to be recognized as a citizen, at the same time lending a helping hand toward developing tho resources ot that beauti ful country, ho wilt bo received with open arms from tho mountains to the .-ea shore, and no questions will be asked as to bis politic*. But, slr, no Buch motives over impelled tho carpet-bagger to Hettie in South Carolina or any other Southern State. His was the visitation of a politi cal adventurer, who, through tho igno rance of the blacks, foisted himself upon the oppressed whites, whom ho proceed ed at onco to tux to impoverishment, whito he rquandered in luxurious living every dollar poured into the treasury by the tax-gatherer. And yet my friend thinks it cruel to call such creatures "nllena." Why, sir, it is an honor to them to be recognized nt all. I beg gon tlcmon to recall the history of my Sute during tho carpet-bag regime and ask what na? become of those tyrannical spendthrifts. Sumo of them doubliez? have been hung,.as I bclievo all of them shnuld have been ; tomo of them are to day, I know, in the jails of tho country, and others of tbem have bad in mofe ways than ono retributivo juailc* me'.od out to them by au otlcnded Providence.

And if they bad all .une to that other estate, Heaven knows I would not have had a tear to shed at their demise. - Eighty one pupils are attending the tho Pirkens High School. - Eighteen prisoners are in the Barn Well County jail, at a daily expenso to the county of 56 80. - The town of Darlington has fivo churches and twenty licensed barrooms besides two drug atores, where liquor can be had ou a doctor's prescription. - An agod colored woman frozo to death on Mr. A.

A masing IVORTCM of Month Carolina-What hus been Ku fie red and vrhat Accomplished. Senator Butler, in opening hi? apcrch, called attention lo the letter of Gen. Franci* A. Walker, *upcrintt*ndrnt of the census, dated January 15, 1881, written in response to Senator Butler's r?solu union calling for the report of the su perintendent of the census touching the alleged fraud in the enumeration of the inhabitants of South Carolina. This letter (thc substance jf which has been published heretofore) "answers to com pletely thc charges made from time to timo by partir?n stump orators and sub sidised organs" thal Senator Buller asked that it bc rend by the clerk for tho information of Ibo Senate and the coun try. This having been done, Senator Butler said: This full and complete reply to the imputalious of unfairness and fraud ought to satisfy the minds of all men and put to shame the authors of tho baseless calumnies ; but I um not content to stop herc : A certain Republican stump orator on a certain occasion in New York City, where there was evidently an un controllable desire to "fire the hearts" of his audience, concluded that a just and honest recital of the truth would fail of that purpose, and therefore chose tho following language of insult and misrep resentation as a more potent appliance for the occasion : "Perhaps this point wil! seem to you tu challenge Home attention. For tho population of Southern Slates we must go back to Ute census of 1870. That count of tho pcoplo wa? made by enumerator] not selected by Southern senators and members of the House as"iion partisans" and profession al reformers, lt was made by the regu lar marshals and their deputies, and the compensation was KO adjusted ns to in duce thorough visitation and at the same time lo guard against exaggeration of num bers. No imputation ot fraud was ever cast upon thc work. Such a thing as a plot to fabric tte a monstrous increase of pop ulation in one section in order to bailie Ibo course of nature and tho logic of events in another-a plot to chango thc balance of power und population in or der'i aggrandize one ?section by est ab fishing u false basis ol'representation and apportionment, thus robbing other -ce lions ol their share in governing the country, in levying taxes and appropria ting money, had not nt 'hat time occurred to the conservativo loes of Rud iculisUl. That particular npol:e in the wheel of deviltry hud not turned up to the shifty patriot of that doy. Now such schemes seem to wax apace. We read of producing false heirs to thrones and es tates, but to multiply false heirs without any one to personate them on n 6cale so grand as Berms now in process, would Htupely the ingenuity of a French novel ist, or anybody cbc except a thorough going, non-partisan, conservative disciple ol the Democratic persuasion, wanting nothing for himself, hut ready to donna suffer tor a white man's government with "reform" und :a change." The same orator makes also the follow ing gratuitous (ling : "Ibis it? the ordinance of higher power than a South Carolina census tuker." And in the course of tho barrunguc of thc aforesaid Htump-orator broadside after broadside of figures, problem alter j problem in arith inetic,higeniouary cipher od out, were hurled ut the South ; plau sible und delusive, calculated to deceive, but as disingenions and unfair ns the intellect that fabricated them and malig nant in their purpose as the heart that inspired their utterance. Senutor Butler then showed the popu lation of South Carolina to have been, according to the census of 1870, 70-'3,60?, and of 1880, ?95,3G6, an increase iu ten years of 289,700-41.00 per cent., and said : The enumeration of 1870 was made under Republican auspices "by Repub" Hean marshals and their deputies," not "by enumerators selected by Southern Senators and members of tho House us non-partisans und professional reform ers." Never! Tho bitterest enemies and most accomplish? d slanderers of "Southern Senators and membeis of thc House" cannot charge them with such a puerile abortion. Some ut least of the Republican "Sen ators und members of thc House" of that day of corruption and partisanship aro entitled to, and shall have, tho credit of the paternity of that deformed offspring. It ia of a piece with almost all else that was dono in the halcyon days of Republican domination in this Capitol. Let us seo what the present superintendent of Ibo census says about it-a Republican and a gentleman of ability, culture, and honesty, whose confirmation Southern Senators are quite willing to bc responsible for, und who, 1 believe, does not share the distinction with his present accusera of many things done in 1870. Senator Butler then read tho Census reports giving increases of 100 to 770 per cent, in particular townships in South Carolin*'., and said: At Urangeburg Courthouse tho cen sus of 1870 gave a population of 246, that nf 1880 of 2.140, an increase of 770 per cent. The enumeration of 1870 is so ridiculously absurd, that a stranger who had never seen the town, upon the mont casual observation, would pro nounce it false. And sn of Greenville Township in Greenville County, and of DeKalb Township in Kershaw County, mid of all the "minor civil divisions" in which comparisons havo been made. And I think wc havo much greater right to assume that there was in 1870 a plot to fabricate an enormous decrease of population-a plot to change the balance of power and population, in order to aggrandize one eecliou by establishing a false bnsis nf representa tion and apportionment in tho South. Such n particuiur "spoke in tho wheel of deviltry" of that day would have fitted so aptly with other "spokes of deviltry cf the Radical wheel, and have been so easily adjustable, that no great stretch ot the iinHginnlinn i?r>!i!d Kj? fCQU?fcd to fs?isn tho charge of fraud upon the ninth cen sus end those who then "plotted" against the South in more ways loan one. Senator Buller gave Superintendent Waker's explanation of the discrepancy in the two censuses, and ssid : It will be observed. Mr. President, that Gen. Walker states bis side nf the casein thc best possible temper, and with entire impartiality, giving to every ground of suspicion the fullest consideration. To any fair-minded, honorable man it would seem that this candid explanation should have disarmed adverse criticism and deserved an honorable withdrawal of every charge of fraud against his work ; but such is not the case, and the Government has been subjected- to the expense and Gen. Walker to the trouble and annoyance of dis patching Col. Butterfield for further investigation and report, and I shall attach bis report as an appendix to my remarks. It will bo found lobe confirma tory of what appears in the foregoing letter. In regard to the census of 1870 and the machinery under which il was taken Gen. Walker is.not Content with his own testimony, bnt brings his predecessor to court, ac? he characterizes the whole business "as" clumsy, antiquated and bar barous;" that "tho machinery lt pro Tides ls ns unfit for u?e in the census of the United States in this day of advanced statistical science as the smooth-bore, muzzle-loading Quoin's arm of the Rev olution would oe for service against the repesting-rifle of the present time." It answered its pei pose at the timo lt was mt in operation os did the "smooth bore," but belongs to a by-gone age. The- .world has moved, and had mo veil . ia 1870, and yet some of tbu Rt publican senators mid etuuip orator? of that timf permitted a fraud to be'perpetrated upo ti thc country under "ita cl u roxy, antiquated, barbarous" "maciiincry," and now iu advance, and wittiout investigation or a hearing, de nounce tbe work of the tenth census because, forsooth. "Southern senators and members of tue House selected the enumerators." I am prepared to take my share of the reaponxibility for the selections. The superintendent of the census will bear me out in the assertion that so far as I could control it I would eonsent to the confirmation of no man, Democrat or Republican, whose charac ter was not a guarantee to a faithful, honest performance of bia duty. I asked for the appointment of no friend or par tisan because he waa a friend or parti san- I tried to secure tho appointment of those only who would d ? their duty irre speciive of party on party interests, and I believe I know only such were appoint ed and confirmed for South Carolina. And, Mr. President, it will rcquirosomo thine more than the sneers and snarls of charlatans, and carping? of disappointed malcontents, to drive me from the good opinion I have of the work ou thc tenth census iu that State. Those intrusted with the work do not beloug to that breed of cormorants foisted upon her and sustained by the malevolence and hatred nf some nf those Republican patriots of 1870, wiin now challenge tho efforts and misrepresent the motives of tboso of UH who strive to rescue her from the palsying paralysing touch of their vulgar hench men. No, Mr. President, there has been no fraud in ihe'enuiner?lion of the inhabi tants of South Carolina. The census has beeu taken with fidelity, ecd the proof is conclusive, overwhelming, and yet tho author of thc charge baa not the -ense nf justice to withdraw it, to make honorable amends for a gross misrepre sentation. A Presidential election wo? pending, and perversion, prejudice, and injustice were more efiicaciuus for the purposes in hand than truth and justice, and right recklessly* wore they wielded, They served their purpose, but the tra ducer of my State and her people chal? not escape exposure. The result of thal enumeration has converted many confi dent predictions of partisan ?/u?iticianr ILS to tho drift of political power intr, dismal fallacies. It has ba filed 'be cal culations and clouded the hopes of r< ninny who hnte the South nod foretold her decadence that peihnps rome allow ance should bo made for their bad tem per and recklesa accusations. Not con tent with criminal participation ir despoiling tho South by conimis-doninp for that bpecial service a band nf greed-, vampires, and sustaining them while they plied their insatiate avocation, nftei -he is plundered and bled to depletion the chiefrallierofth.il band of spoliaton depreciates her because of her poverty and upbraids ber for her humiliated attitude. Why, Mr. President, when Un professional highwayman or outlaw overcomes and rob? the helpless wayfarei he, even, is too magnanimous to insult Iiis victim by hurling at bim vulgai anathemas and bitter curses. Let this political highwayman go learr humanity and magnanimity from tin reckless outcast, ana shelter his ignoro i ny from thc hissing storm of scorn anc contumely. The lesson, Mr. President which this last census teaches is ot ui-lructive one. Itdeservea to be pray crful ly studied by thoBe who ur.ve Bpen anxious hours "arguing out" the "stesdj decline" nnd "stagnation" of the South The little State which I bare tin honor in part to represent, 84,000 tquan miles, bas .lost within the last tw< decades not lesa and perhaps more thai three hundred and fifty million dollar.-' actual cash values, lost to ber as com pletely and effectually ns if Bunk to th button of mid ocean. Within that tim sho has also had reconstruction, th ninth census, th: reign of the carpet bagger and missionaries from tbo North ern Methiklir.t Church and her own mia takes, blessings euough tn have translate her to the happy cnn fine a of Elysiai fieldaor to tho sublimated heights c Plymouth Rock self complacency, o curses enough as these visitations ma, be regarded from the different stand points, to have consigned her to th ninth circle of Dante's Inferno. Whethe they have been blessings or cu rees, ah hos bravely survived teem, and as be atie may, is wrestling with the grav problem of race issues and social incoti gruities, hoping tn master them upn principles of a broad humanity and wit a triumph of law und social order. Sho has no complaint to utter snv against those who traduce and villif her, and to those she returns (he snluu tion of scornful contempt. Four yeurs ago, when she resetted bc government from tho hnnds of the spol alor, she gathered up ber credit, bein hawked about and spit upon in the rom kel pince?, a by-word, and a rcproac! and today her securities c;o command ing from U tn 10 per cent, premium o their par vnluo. Sho has the framework of a public school Bystem that, under the encourage ment of a wise and judicious managi ment, ia being annually aud steadil developed into an educational asyliu for all her children, and needs only tim and money nnd judgment to bo mad equal to any in the Amcii^n Unioi Tho improvement in her homestead la? is fixing her population permnuentl upon her soil, and she is no longer nursery for ber young sisters of the Wei and Northwest. Under the operatio and protection of equal la.ia, just! executed, a system ot land tenantry i being changed loone of land tenure, an lifo aud property are safely guarde*. She has increased tho product of ht principal staple 180 per cent, in te yt ara, namely, io the last five, and th year it is estimated at 51 G.000 bales agaim J.cn.OOO In 1870. Her manufactory h.ive moro than doubled in capacity, r the following table will show. 1880. 1870. Pr. ct. Im Looms. i,77? /i? 25?

She exempts from taxatic for ten years all ne?? aianufaclurir establishments, and of the property j immigrants she exempts for three yeai $1,500 the amount of ber homestead e: emption. Her mineral resources hm quadrupled in development, and yet a comparatively untouched. Her "poop are still poor, but they have one hundn dollars in cash how, saved under tl benign influences of honest governmei and homo rule, where they had ten dt lars nndcr the harrowing perplexities at legalized robbery of misrule and disho est government Her population, b steadily increased. Jost how moe thanks to the faultless census of 187 "taken by Republican marshals ai their deputies," nobody can tell with a curacy. These are some things, Mr. Presidei that do not indicate j "atagnatloi or a "steady decline," and I ha adverted to them to show to t! country how entirely nnrei'.ablo are t! atatements of partisan non-reforme: who recklessly resort to calumny agsic whi'e eommuuitica and people to efiV tUK.i an Unholy our pose. As I ba said, tbe people of tho South are poor comparatively poor--bot it U no d {race, and they are not ashamed of i ut it ill becomes tbe criminal recei? of their stolen goods, one who baa wax fit -upon their misfortunes, to chide the wi h their poverty, Rebellion, revolutionwar, bavo ib< lessons as well as revenges. They a merciless, they are cruel, they are c ?tractive, and the Southe ra people km what they mean. Their wounds s cicat rizing, und the gravea of the dead f?asl are kidded with a respectful oblivi on, and would rest in peace on through the ages, but for thc political hyenas who dig into thane graves and munch the bones and growl over the dead forms of the passions that are buried. Tho South, Mr. President, is deeply interested in whatever concerns the peo ple of the whole country deeply, inter ested in tho development of the resources of tho country, and in maintaining the honor and credit and dignity of the gov ernment. I believe the forthcoming report of the superintendent of the census will contain the most valuable and complete reposi tory of information that has ever been collected io this country, and will illus trate a proficiency and advancement in statistical science by the distinguished and accomplished head of tho bureat* that will place him abreast of the leading scientists of tb? world. His work will sbow somo curious facts -I might almost say caprices-in the movements ot populations and the drift of political power. The centre of ponu talion bus moved wcstwnrdly from New York since 1800, along tho'thirty-ninth parallel of latitude, deflecting north or ? south aa the population would drift north or south, and in 1870 it Indued about forty-two miles northeast of Cincinnati, Ohio. The census nf 1880 will draw the centre soulh of Cincinnati and south of the Ohio Uiver. Such nt least arc the indications at tho present stage of infor mation. >- A strong recommendation of Post master James, of New York, for the postmaster-generalship has been sent to Gen. Garfield from Now York, signed by the presidents of tho Produce, Cotton and Stock Exchanges, the Board ol [Trade and Chamber of Commerce. Il is the moro valuable because it is under stood to have been voluntary. - Tho public schools of Abbeville County were opened Inst Monday week. There are about one hundred and thirty schools in the county, or an average ol about eight to each township. To teach these echonls there are perhaps two ht n dred and fifty teachers holding certifi cates. The school authorities have so reduced the expenses of tho schools that they hope to run them five months with the public money. WARNING !
