Of the new Governor of Texas, the Houston Telegraph aays ; "THHOCKMORTON represented the JOHNSON policy of reconstruction, and was elected and enthusiastically supported by tho people. ' PEASE represents tho Congressional policy of re? construction, and is appwatod Governor by mili? tary authority. They aro -prob-ibly the best men for Governor on their respective ba?tai, to be found in the State. Both are able, exp'orienced, cautious, and prudent men, and both aro deoply interested in the development of the material ?ierests of the State. When we had the right to eleci a Gover? nor of our own choice-and we did have thc right then-we did what we ought to have done in elect? ing THROCKMORTON. But now that we no longer have any such right, and the Governor has to be appointed by military authority, a better man than PEASE could not have been selected. Governor PEASE and the majority of the people of Texas have been widely separated in political sentiment and feeling. His participation in the Negro Con? vention in Houston did not tend to lessen that j separation." Thc Michigan State prison is a productive insti? tution. About two hundred thousand segare aro } made there each month. Prison-made boots and ^ooea to the value of $40,007 were sold last month. LETTER PROM GENERAL SICKLES TO THE CHARLESTON BOARD OF TRADE. Tho followine letter is in reply to a communica? tion addressed by a committee of the Charleston Board of Trade to Major-General DANIEL E. SICELE3. Tho letter of the Board of Trade was published in tho proceedings of their regular m jeting on tho first Tuesday in July. As the several points upon which it touched are taken up seriatim iu Gen. SIOELE'S reply, we do not deem it necessary to repuolish it: COMMUNICATION ADDRESSED TO THE BOARD Oi' rBADE OF CHARLESTON, S. C., IN BEPLT TO A REMON? STRANCE. HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT, \ Charleston, S. C., August 10,18C7. j Mesan. WiLiam Gurney, Wm. & .Baste, Edwin Boies, A. ?. Tajl, II. Cobla and R W. MarshaU, Committee of the Board of Traae of the City of Charleston, S. C. : GENTLEMEN: I am instructed by the Major-Gen Dral Commanding lo communicate to you the re? sults of his careful consideration of tho remon? strance of tho hoard of Trade of Charleston, ad iressed to him on the 28th of June, ultimo. It lias beeu deemed proper to defer this replv to your communication until after the action of Congress upon the questions mado in relation io the author? ity of the Commanding of?cers of Military Dis? tricts. In behalf of the Board of Trade, yon complain jf the action of the Commanding General upon certain subjects of local administration as uncon? stitutional, unwise, unjust and inexpedient. The prosent' occasion seemB to be a fitting ono to remove some of the misapprehensions enter? tained in relation to tho orison and sanction of tho military authority now exercised in the Carolinas. South Carolina, in 18C1, renounced her relations ?vith the United States, assorted her independence, ind by military forces of her own and of her con? federates, expelled the troops of the United States ind every representative of the authority of tho United States, from her territory. A long and eventful war followed. In 1865, tho military forces of the United States completed the conquest and occupation of the ter? ritory of South Carolina and of her allies. Martial Bw ensued as the legitimate and necessary conse? quence of such conquest and occupation. AU local civd authority thereupon ceased, or, if eubsequent y exercised, depended for its validity upon the Military authority of the conqueror. These recognized principles of public law are innounced in General Orders No. 100, War De sartnient, 1863 in the following language: "A jlace, district or county occupied by an enemy, stands, in consequence of the occupation, under ?e martial h?.w of the invading or occupying army, ' ,vlid her any proclamation declaring martial law )r any warning has been issued or not." " Martial aw in a hostile country consists in tho suspension. t>y tho occupying military authority, cf the civil md criminal law and of t lie do mes tic administra? tion and government in the occupied place or terri? tory, and iii the substitution of military rule and force for the same, as well as in the dictation of general laws, as far aa military necessity requires : this suspension, substitution or dictation." "Tho commander of the forces may proclaim that tho idniiniKtration of all civil and penal laws shall continue either wholly or in part, as in* time of | peace, unless otherwise ordered by the military : minority." .. . ' In pursuance of the foregoing instructions for tho guidance of the military forces occupying tho theatre of war, military government was instituted in South Carolina. ; , . : Martial' law has ever since been exercised, with ; xscasional and denned concessions to. ci vii forms ; c-f authoritv. ! ; ' ? In June, 1865, Mr. Perry was appointed by tho ; President, by virtue of bis authority as Cominan- ' 3cr-in-Chref, Provisional Governor of South Caro? lina. Under martial law, Governor Perry pro- . codded to remodel the institutions of the State ind rovivo certain forms of civil administration. ; A prescribed oath of allegiance, amnesty, or a i special pardon, rendoro i persons eligible to ofhco ; md tho enjoyment of civil rights. On the 1st of January, 1866, by General Orders N'o. 1, Headquarters Department of South Caroli? na, series of 1866, it was provided, anions other . regulations for tho government of South Carolina, ; that no person should be denied any civil right on '' ?ccount of hiB oolor or race. By tho "Civil Rights Bill,'" passed April 9th, j 1866, the military regulation thus established ac- . mired the sanction of law, and tho rule was made general throughout tho United States. On tho 12th of January, 1866, Commanding Officers were required by the General-in-Chiof to protect persons from prosecution in State or mu ??icipal courts when charged with ofibnees arising 3 ut of the en (oree m ont of tho military orders of ; iie President or other competent m dit arv author- j ty; also to protect from prosecution and pena lt ?es ! di occupants of abandoned lands and all persons ?olding property by the military authority of tho j President; and also to protect colored persons rom all penalties not imposed on white persons. On March 12th, 186 6, a military quarantine waa ; stabliahed on the Bea coast of tho conquered ter- 1 ritory. On July 6th, 1866, military arrests were ordered jf all o?enders in tho conquered territory: when-, j jver the civil courts negleoted or refused* to pro-' , ceed against such persons for public offences. , . On July 13th, 1866, certain civilians undergoing . sentence of military courts for offences committed : ?rithin tho couquor?d territory were, by authority cf tho President, ordered to bo held in military j custody. . I On tho 16th of July,. 1866, Congress, by an Act 1 entitled "An Act to continue in force and to amend tn Act to establish a bureau for tho relief of freed? men and refugees, and for other purposes," pro? vided for the exercise of military jurisdiction < .vithin tho conquered territory, until the samo j should be fully restored to constitution ! 1 relations j ii the government, and tho inhabitants du/y rep- - resented in the Congress of the United States. In November, 186$, the orders of the Major-' 1 Senora! Commanding disbanding thc militia in tho ' Carolinas wore approved by the Secretary of War. By tho Act cf 2d March, 1867, Congress made the ' Like prohibition absolute in all the conquered tor- 1 ritory. 1 ..On March 3d, 1867, Congress declared that no j legal State governments existed in the conquered territory, including South Carolina; divided the j territory into Military Districts, of which North ? md South Carolina comprised the second; pro- ' vidod for the appointment of a mili tary connu an- 1 1er for each District; declared all civil government ' therein to be ?object in all respects to the military ( commander, and that all interference, under color ' of State authority, with the exercise of military authority, should oe null and void. Congress, in the exercise of ita paramount authority, an- j nounced, also, the conditions on which the inhab ?tanta might be restored to constitutional relations to tho government of the United States. Having shown tho nature of tho authority that J exists in South Carolina, and traced its origin to i the law of war and to the government of the United States, it ma; not bo .without'utility to show that this exercise of power is authorized by 1 the Constitution. , Congress us the authority competent to declaro war. to determine the conditions of peace, and to I define the political relations of the inhabitants of ; conquered territory. Tho comprehensive war pow. rs found homo where in every government, aro given by the Constitution of the United States to Congress. . 1 The Slates that made war upon the Union, set up a government of their own and renounced all their rights under our Constitution. Tho United States made war, not for the purposo of compelling hostil Stites and peop^toreenme their rights and privileges under the Constitution, but to compel them to y: old submission to the authority of tho United States. It waa for the party aggrieved and not for tho wrong doer to say wnother tho offend? er BhouM ovor be restored to tho privileges of the compact he had renounced. The United States acquired, by conquest, absolute authority over all their enemies and over all tho territory in dis? pute. Tho principles governing tho relations'of tho population of conquered territory to the military au? thority in.possession, havo been announced by tho Supreme Court of the United States in the caso of Leitensdorfer vs. Webb (20fch Howard). That case arose out of the conquest and occupation of New Mexico by tho United States. Tho court hold that the occupation by the armies of the United States overthrew thc existing civil government, although the relations of persons to each other remained in force, except as thoso might contravene the Con? stitution and laws of the United States, or tho regulations for tho government of the inhabitants, established bv tho Commanding General. It ap? peared that General Kearney had, while in com? mand, ordained a code of regulations for the gov? ernment of the territory; it was contended that tho binding force.of the code ceased with the treaty of peaco and the cession of the territory to the Uni? ted States. The court denied this proposition, holding that Gen. Kearney's regulations, having been established by competent authority, remain? ed in force until repealed by the authority of Con? gress, or that of a territorial government deriving its power from Congress. In tho case cited, tho Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned tho principle since assert d by Congress, to wit: that over territory acquited and held by the arras of thc United Stales, military authority represents temporarily tho legislative power of Congross, aud that the duration and scope of such authority de? pend upou Congress, and do not depond upon the cessation of hostilities. It has been claimed for th? rebe! States that they are exempt from tho political consequences of any war they may choose to wage, 'luis plea is as preposterous j aa tho theory upon which it is based, to wit : that war cannot frist between the Federal Union and ono or more of the States. The proposition that the late war differed in no essential particular from ordinary wars, has been settled by all tho deparimcnts of "the Government of tho United States, with thc acquiescence of the Governments and jurists of ali hagons. Sol? diers oaptiircd woro allowed the amenities of prisoners ot iver, and wero lorniallv exchanged; flags of true? were ptnuittod and respected; cap tares by land ?nd by sea were tolerated as lawful; condemnations in prise courts in conformity with tho laws and usages of nations, woro decreed by tho courts of the United States; foreign govern? ments and judicial tribunals acquiesced in theso decrees; paroles have been receivnd and obsorved, and terms of surrender stipulated and executed in accordance vyith tho custom of war. Until an armed league of hostUe States, under an alien flag, undertook to .overtlurow this govern? ment, tho occasion had never arisen tor communi? ties owing allegiance to the Union, to realize that the guarantees of the Constitution could no longer be claimed by them for tho assertion of any politi? cal right. Tho States which composed that leaguo are tooday without a franchise. A sensitivo, brave and proud people are subject to martial law. Their ancient rights all renounced by their own act, i feited by their own voluntary expatriation, s rendered with their arms to tho conqueror-th can nevertheless bo regained upon the tornas p scribed by thoBO who remained truo to the Un and the flag. These terms have been announi by Congress. The reconstruction Acts of Congress enable I conquered States or either of them, to return tho Union, if they shall elect to do so. lu oho ing tho moro expedient line of action, it may useful for thoso concernod to bear in mind soi of the lost opportunities thrown awav by the le; era who have heretofore controlled the politics the South. Maintaining always either the attito of defiance or of antagonism, or of reserve, 1 Southern leaders bave neither offered or accept any possible basis of accommodation and adju mont. Fair terms, repeatedly tendered by t United States, have been as often refused. On the 4th of March, 1861, President Lincoln hiB inaugural address offered an amendment the Constitution, guaranteeing slavery forever tho States where it thee existed. Ho demand only that tho South should relinquish tho pr?te sion that slavery must ba recognized and proti ted by Congress in territory under '.ho exclusi jurisdiction of the federal government. Lmooh magnanimous offer was treated with disdai South Carolina declared war and began hostility In 1862, President Lincoln proposed as tho bat ol' settlement, a scheme of gradual emancipate with compensation. In September, 18G2, one hundred days were giv to those in arms against th9 government to d?lit rate and choose between peace, retaining all th? slaves and their political rights intact-or war, f< lowed by emancipation, confiscation, and the lo of all political' rights. Unhappily, the latt alternative was chosen. Or> tho 1st of January, 1863, emancipation w proclaimed. In 1864, President Lincoln invited ncgotiatioi for peace on tho basis of a restoration o* politic rights and a liberal measure of compensation i emancipated slaves. Negotiations upon tho pr posed basis were declined by the enemy. In 1865, at the conference of Fortress Monroi President Lincoln renewed overtures for peac and they were again refused. In 1865, after tho surrender, President Johnsc invited tho constituencies included within tl provisional governments ho had established, l send eligible representatives to Congress. Repr sent at ives were, indeed, chosen ; but not one i ten could toko tho oath of office prescribed t Congress for members, and thereby represen tat ic was lost. In 1866, Congress, in on amendment to the Coi stitution, proposed terms of settlement adjustiu the basis of tuturo representation, imposing dh qualification for office upon certain persons wb had borne arms against tho United States, an granting by implication a general amnesty to a others. This amendment, adopted by nearly a the States in the Union, was not accepted os settlement by any of the rebel States except Ter nessee, and thereupon Tennessee was prompt! restored to the Union, with all her ancient right and dignity unimpaired. During 1865-66, riots, tumults, affrays, and long catalogue of crue! and unprovoked outrage upon Union soldiers, loyal refugees, and blocke made it. plain to all that military government mus be continued from the Potomac'to the Rio Grande until, by enfranchising tho blacks, they shouk possess a sufficient Bhoro of political powor t command respect^ and security for their own civi rights, and reinforce tho loyal whito elomcnt o Southern population. ID March and July, 1867,'Congress, by tho Be construction A cte, reaffirmed and continued mili tory rule over tho conquered territory-prescrib ing, li o wo vcr. certain limitations and regulation in restraint of martial law; and at the samo timi tendered to tho inhabitant the privilege and tb? meaua by whioh a majority in any one of tho rebe States might organizo a legal government and b< readmitted to tho Union. Now, the question for tho South is whether tc reject this last opportunity, and thereby challengi Congress to do its worst, or, by accepting, in gooc faith, thc proffered terms, put an end to sevei yours of strife, save what is left, and regain a least, ii not political power, a large measure o political rights. Tho fruits of the policy of the past soven years aro seen in tho contrast between the terms of sot ; lenient offered by President Lincoln on the 4th o: March, 1861, in his first inaugural address, ani the terms now profferod by Congress in tho Act o: July, 1867. ' If Lincoln's peace offering had beor accepted, tho wealth, prosperity and power of th( South would have remained u i impaired, and ali the sacrifices of a long war saved. Acquiescence now in tho measures provided by Congress, to restore tranquility and establish legal State governments in the conquered territory, if an obligation resting upon all who have tho catii of allegiance and receive J amnesty. For at most it can only bo said that the measures of Congress impose upon tho vanqqiahnd tho institutions ol tho victors. And if it be true that antagonistic*! institutions mado us onemies in war, then with sut homogeneous institutions wo may nut. even in peace, be friendB. It may be assumed that.no disability will bo ra moved from those who resist, oppose, or discour? age reconstruction. In every State where terms offered by Congress shall be rejected, it is plain that thenceforth political power will bo altogether and finally remitted to tho hands of thoso who have ever beda loyal to tho Union. By tho rejec? tion of tho terms of reconciliation now offered, the promoters of discord will, sooner or later, lind themselves without possessions, without franchises, and nolongor tho poer of tho humblest citizen of the republic-and then will the rebellion have worked anon ita unrepentant authors ita own impressive ami signal retribution. Tho particular grounds of complaint suggo?ted in your remonstrance remain to bo considered : You take exception to purp graph VII. of Gen? aro! Orders 32, which declares that certain con? tracte if hereafter mado by dealers in intoxicating liquors shall bo doomed and treated, within this Military District, os against public policy, also to paragraph EL General Orders 32, abolishing dis? tress for ront, and substituting in hen thereof cer? tain liens; also to General Orders 10, staying tho remedies ter thc enforcement ot certain classes of debts.* ic io to be inferred from your statements Unit you regard the revocation of these orders as ijssc?lial to tho interests of those engaged in com? merce and trade. It is not always possible to extend to commorco the facilities most desired by merchants. It should bo remembered tflat while it is the province of commerce to direct'tho material ?esourccu and en orgies of tho country into channels of enterprise that nourish material and moral development, yet commerce itself is dependent upon domestic secu? rity and confidence, aud tho productiveness in la? bor in the departments oi agriculture and manu? factures. So far from complaining of temporary inconveniences, thoso whoso fortunato priviiogo it is to control the currenoy and capital or tho coun? try should be willing to forego other peculiar privileges for tho sako of promoting tho produc? tions ocr labor, from which tho profits of commerce aro mainly derived, You object to paragraph YU. of General Orders Se. 82, beiwise certain Northern, Western and for? eign distillers had, previous to the order, consign? ed Liquors for sale within this Military District; that tho customs duties on foreign liquors, and tho excise tax on domestic liquors, had boen paid; inu you regard it as an act of injustico to those parties to "suddenly withdraw all protection from said property against fire, and also to protoct tho owners of said, property from collecting their just debts at common law." You will find, by referring to the paragraph in question, that it has not the retrospectivo operation complained of. lt does not intorfero with contracts of sale, storage, or iu Bur&nce already made when the order went into operation; nor'does it prevent tho tale of such liquors by a properly liconsod dealor, who con? forms to the proscribed regulations for this traffic. The objection presented by you to paragraph IX of General Orders No. 32, abolishing distress for rent, has been repeatedly rejected by tho courts of the country, To modify a remedy for tho enforce? ment o? contra?is does not impair their obligation. lu several of tho States of tho Union, tho abolition of distress for rent has boon enacted without re? gard to existing loasos, aud tho proprioty of such legislation lias bean judicially sanctioned. While approving tho measure at largo, you base your only objection to it on the erroneous .supposition that parties making contracts bave a right to de? mand that thora shall bo no change in tho princi? pio or policy of tho codo of procedure during the existence of such contracts. As tho duration of contracts is ordinarily within tho control of tho contracting parties, you will pcrceivo that the offect of ?your proposition would be to subject tho public interests, concerned in tho administration of justice, to the interests and even caprice of in? dividuals. In proceeding to consider your objections to General Ordor No. 10, staying certain remedies for the collection of debt, it will be proper first to no? tice your statement that tho Legislature of South Carolina passed a law for tho same purpose, and which, ns you observe, was declared by tho Court of Appeals unconstitutional. This circumstance had great weight hi the promulgation of tho order in question. Tho actiou of tho Legislature was regarded as proof that, in tho belief of tho peoplo ut large, the public safety demanded such a meas? ure. The Hajcr-GonsraJ Commanding waa un? trammeled by provisions of the so called State Constitution, adopted in contemplation of events quite different from tho actual situation ; he could not fail to seo that many thousands of fami? nes, in deep misfortune, aud destitution, were monaceit with tittei ruin by tho inconsiderate an<J cruel pressure of creditors ; uor could he, without being insensible to tho goncral appeal of a suffering people, refuse to afford some meas? ure of adequate roiiof. At tho tim? wli6ii thc Orders No. 10 wore issued, tho people of the Carolin 's, and moro especially of South Carolina, were exposed to overwhelming disaster from tho seizure and nal ?, under judicial process, ol all tho means they possessed. Their scanty stores of provisions, their worn out house? hold furniture, and their few implements of hus? bandry saved from the wreck of the industry of tho country, wonk! have availed nothing to credi? tors, yet w en; of inestimable value to the popula? tion. Time and opportunity givon, industry would recover fram paralysis, despondency would be overcome by fortitude, the creditor would be Ulti? mi? tely paid", and tho sad condition o: an impover iancdptoplo ameliorated. To?ronse and stimu? late the energies of tho people-to inspiro tho hus? bandman with confidence that ho would reap thc fruits of his labor-to assuro him that be might rescue himself and family from want-and to re? call from Uaunts of dissipation and idleness those who bau L"ecn driven there by despair-would con? tribute inuch to tho pabilo penco, security and or? der tho Commanding General is expected to m tintara. In tho success of these measures no interoot is more concerned than the commerce of the country. You have vourselvoa described thc condition of affairs that "existed. Yon obsorvo that "at the opening of the courts after the war the people in the country commonced suein? each other. The debts are nearly all local;" and you add that "tho Northern cities and Charleston were scarcely rep? resented, nor havo they since, to any extent, pushed their claims at Jaw;" and you add tho re? markable and significant statement that a largo portion of tho iebts sued in this Military District are for sums not over twenty dollars. You maintain that had a few executions been pushed, tho whole debt could have been paid with a very small sum of money. That "A owed B twenty dollars; B owed C twenty dollars, and so on to the ond of tho alphabet; but it is very ovidont that twenty dollars would have paid tho whole of the indebtedness." A better argument for tho stay law could not havo been adduced; for all that was required to realize tho easy mode of liquida? tion you have elucidated was time, so that these interchanges might take place. It is precisely thia the stay law affords, leaving us tho pleasing assurance, from so high an authority, that within a brief period the financial dufliculti?s of the State may bo resolved with a sum of money insignifi? cantly small. Let ns see, on the other hand, what would have been tho effect of refusing this allowance of time. When General Order 10 was promulgated, there were pendiug in the Courts of the State forty thousand suits for debt. Hy tho last census thoro were only forty thousand white voters in tho State. Allowing the sum of fifty dollars in each caso, as the amount of costs, fees, expenBoa, lost time and depreciation of values by hurried liquidation, you have two millions of dollars as tho loss in effect? ing, by litigation, a settlement, capable according to your statement of beiug effected with twenty dollars-through some peculiar process known t? tho Board of Trade in Canrleston. You proceed to observe that "if every execution had been pressed, the aggiegate wealth of oach District or County would not have boen lessenod, tho property would merely have changed local owners." Surely it is not a matter oi small inter? est to tho merchants of Charleston, that tho pro? perly of the farmers, mechanics and tradesmen should pass into tho hands of lawyen?, constables and tho vultures that Hock to judicial sales. So far as relates to the local transactions of Charleston, your statoment that creditors residing there had not sought to enforce their claims, shows that the stay law hus not injured tho busi? ness of the city; nor is auy injury likely to bo pro? duced worthy of comparison with tho manifest facilities afforded to agriculture, from which the trade of Charleston derives all its thrift. You will not fail to observo that tho suspension of remedies is confined to causes of action arising between the 19ch of Decomber, 1860, and tho loth of May, 1865; that after the expiration of the tem? porary Btay of proceedings for twelve months, executions for debts contracted before tho war can be enforced without hindrauce; and that as to all transactions since May 15th, 1865, all the remedies afforded by tho laws of the "United Statesand of South Carolina not only remain intact, but they are-invigorated and reinforced by military regula? tions and tribunals. It will therefore bo seen that persons seeking to in vost capital and engage in business eutorprisos within this Military District are entitled to all thc remedios and havo free access to all the tribunals that belong to a settled order of society; and that it is only those transactions incident to the disor? ders of a long wai' und to tho old system ot' servi? tude that aro affected by tho military stay law. Since tho month of January, 1867, the market price of tho public stocks of the Stato of South Carolina shows that tho credit of tho State, far from receding, has improyed. Gontlomou as familiar as von are with the operations of finance, are a were that the credit of the Stato cannot suffer by measures which establish considerate and firm authority, promote tho industrial welfare of the population, maintain order, and pr?vido for tho permanent adjustment of thc political relations ol' the inhabitants. His Excellency tho Governor of South Carolina, in au official communication addressed to tho Com? manding General, has boen pleased to say: "I have perused with great satisfaction your Genoral Or? der 10, dated April ll, 1867, and beg leave to ex? press my hearty concurrence in all its provisions; so far as I have boen able to ascertain public sen? timent, I think it meets with the unqualified ap? proval of our entire population." In conclusion, gentlemen, I am to inform you that tho Major-Goneral Commanding fails to dis? cover in your, suggestions any sufficient ground For revoking or modifying tho orders in question; and ho indulges tho hope that temperate counsels, acquiesceuco in the moosuros provided for the pre? sent exigency, and stronger tics of fraternity among tho people of tho commonwealth, may en? tourage tho labors of those who desire and see in tho future of South Carolina even more than her ancient prosperity and renown.
