This Is.a very grave question; lt dema?ds'very serious con? sideration. We believe, with Governor Perry, If it ls attempted to collect this tax, the at? tempt will bring on resistance.

And, fa viewing these evilSf let those who 'advocated the last election exult in the fruits ot their 116 tory.

Qoverament to Bo ? [From the Greenville E?ierpr?se.1 The outrageons act of the Legislature which m nat add- a million of dollars 'of useless asd irfcadu'rent debt to the burdens of the taxpay? ers of South Carolina, is, fortunately, so word? ed aa to leave the whole matter to the dis? cretion ol Governor Scott He ls not compell? ed or absolutely required to put it In force. The langn ige of the act te, "That the Govern? or of tbe State be, and he ls hereby, author-' Ired to borrow on- the- credit of the State of South Carolina ? sum" not exceeding one million, two l.undred thousand pounds s teri- ' lng," ic, ?co. It ls clear, then, that the Gov? ernor may, or'may not, se he chooses," carry the aet into force. When he perceives the Immense? dissatisfaction of the people, and the terribie evils to grew out of it, (determined repudiation not the least, perhaps,) we trust and believe that he will not enter upon negotiations- 1or this'loan. It ls plainly and entirely a scheme to benefit aud enrich a few bondholders at the expense of the people of the State. Tbe peo? ple ought not to submit to such a law. Not all the -sophistry of cunning naen can show that lt ls right, excusable or honest. Why change the bonds ? what good to the Slate or taxpayers ? who but the Interested men, who expect to pocket the people's money desired this thing ? We have had enough of plunder. We hope the entire press of the State will speak eut ou -th ls matter plainly and emphati? cally. It seems to us that if the Governor h its any regard for the general welfare, peace and prosperity ol the good people of Sooth Caro? lina, he will not^ because the law does not re? quire him to carry out tbe sterling bond act. -Tb? Strnggt? tar Sx i ?te nee. [From the Clarendon Press.] Men will cling to existence; nay, they will fight for existence, and the money of which they are robbed constitutes that existence since the late war has leit them so little upou ?which to subsist. The advocates of this exces? sive taxation contend In its justification that, the per centum (lt mills on the dollar) te not exorbitant'. This is not altogether false if these lour teen mills, were only charged upon . everydollar's worth of real property, ont create a fi ct ry oils value for property by making the assessment ten fines the real value, and you have one hundred and forty mills ou every dollar of real property, and Is exactly fourteen per cent, upon ?hat property. This ls the way in which the people are oppressed, and Ita hardships drive men-to desperation. Now this does not bear so hardly upon the colored man. With very few exceptions, t r. cy Soothing bat a poll-tax, and owing to Ute re ol certain officers to maintain popular? ity with the "powere that be," very lew pay even that Yet they.pile on the taxes by their votes and shout pams ol gfory to the Republi? can party. * Il .Ure people could see the necessity for Ulis exorbitant abstraction . of their individual wealUi, they -* ht, upon a clear exhibit that the moneys were Judiciously and honestly ex .pended In discharging their debts, hops lor relief some day w hen those debts wore liquidated, but so long as bills are passed creating n funded debt or sterling bill of ?1,200,000, which ls to be employed In ex? change for the Indebtedness of the State, wlfh 1eut Informing them, a? they have a right to know, ol what that enormous debt consist.

Another manifestation of the Ku-Klux spirit iras witnessed on Wednesday last, in fia: en Ibo County. L. B. Bigger, a raerchantof .rhe Monty, ? man of Northern birth and ntttroe Jents. was taken from his store by a band of men lu disguise, carried to a wood near by, md backed, gagged, aud tied to a tree, where ie was compelled to witness the destruction sf his property, and sign ? bond to quit the :eunty within twenty<lonr hours, never to re? turn under penalty of death. He waa then re? leased, and ut last accounts was missing liptu he neighborhood. So much lor the outrage. Now for the causes which led to lr. ? Bigger ls a carpet-bagger, and, it is said, ona >fthe meanest kind, He was formerly au jfflcer of the Freedmen's Bureau. By dint of economy la the expenditure of an infinitesi? mal salary he saved some money. Your gen? uine Bureau man always gets rich by frugality. Bigger opened a store lu Clarendon, and until fie made himself odious did pretty well. The Ku-Klux paid him a visit, however, a year fer so ago, and the consequence was that Rigger's Hore was burned. It was huavily insured by Northern companies. Agents from those companies weise instructed lo Investigate the ure. Several of the agents reported against Bigger's claim OU tue Northern companies. They were all paid, however, ar last. Bigger then went for a bigger grab. He knew where to come lor lt He came to the L?gislature, and $12,000 ol State funds Bl?"*er thought would heal his lacerated bimi. "The - State should have protected him, he said, and as lt did not, he. claimed $12,000 damages. But lhere wasn't money enough in a $12,000 claim to get it. through that immaculate body, and the scheme failed. Had Bigger not been so modest, and had he added another cipher to his claim, it would have gone through with a rush. So Bigger left Columbia poorer and angry. . The money which he had expended so far must be made up lu some way; so he opened a "fence shop" in Clarendon County. The negroes on the adjoining plantations stole th?* cotton In small quantities, and Bigger bought lt at fifty per cent below the. market prite: The planters in the neighborhood suv that Bigger has carried this on for several months. Ii was to break up his nefarious business that the outrage was perpetrated. The people deny that the Ku-Klux had anything to do with If, and say that it was the work of tue very men whose property Bigger was acquiring in a dis? honest way. ?1 ' XAHINJD DISASTERS.

Suming Up the ten Domingo Bosi ness-Grant as a Kn-Klui Chief.' _ ' I ~ * i WASHINGTON, March 27. Senator Boomer occupied the Senate all day. He sums up the San Domingo case thus: ?.In tera at io al law bas been violated In two ol its commanding rules: one securing the equality ot nations, and the other providing against belligerent Intervention, while a dis? tinctive fundamental principle of the consUtu. ti on; by which the President is deprived'df? a kingly prerogative, is disregarded, and this very kingly prerogative is asserted hy the President. This 1B the simplest statement. Looking still further at the facts, we see that all this great disobedience bas fdr its object the acquisition of an outlying tropical island, with large promise of wealth, and that, ] in carrying out this scheme, our Republic has ibrcibly maintained a usurper in power, that he might sell his country, and has dealt a blow at the Independence of the black Repub? lic of Hay ti, which, besides being a wrong to that Republic, was an insult to the African - race; and all this has been done by preroga? tive alone, without the authority of an act ol Congress. If such a transaction, many-bead? ed ia wrong, can escape Judgment, lt Ia diffi? cult to see what securities remain; what ether Beeret rule ol International law may not be violated; what other foreign nation may not be etruok at; what other belligerent menace may not be hurled; what other kingly preroga-. tire may not be seized ?" In the course of his speech, enlarging upon the declaration that the President liad placed himself at the ?sad of a more powerful and costly Kn-Klux than those of the South, Mi. .Sumner proceeded : "Had the.President been so inspired as to be. stow on the Southern unionists, whiten and black, one-ball" the time, zeal, will, perso? nal attention, personal effort and perso? nal intercession which he has bestowed upon bis attempt to obtain half/ an island in the Carri been sea, our Southern Ku-Klux would have existed lu name only, while tranquillity would have reigned every "where within our borders."

Sic. [PROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] . . WASUINUTON, March 22. Congress, or rather the Senate, still harps upon the Ku-Klux outrages. For the Bake ol that topic, seemingly, It refused to adjourn, and keeps members ol the House and others, who see what danger menaces the Radical party by their delay, In a high .condition of ex? asperation. The House meets every day, but adjourns early. The Senate convenes with exact regularity, and light the old battles over again with as much vim and angry'earnestness as If their method of dealing with the South was a new subject Instead oT the same hack? neyed reconstruction theories of nearly five years' discussion. In the meantime the dead? lock con linties upon the question of adjourh ment, and no one can say when the session will terminate. It is actually wonderful that this question of alleged outrages South, based upon mythi? cal Ideas, should have absorbed the attention ol Congress to the exclusion of everything else. The financial situation, questions of tariff and revenue reform, and even the great an? nexation i-cheme of the President, have been laid aside until next session (excepting possi? bly the last;) bul the majority in the Senate refuse to allow any postponement of the "outrage" question. The ultra Radicals from the Northern States cherish it with all thc fond? ness which they have proven themselves capable ol' bestowing upon the selfish sec? tional measures which have charaterized legislation heretofore, with the exception of removal of disabilities and amnesty bill?. The Southern Republicans who have boldly cou-' fronted the arguments, and almost threats, of these senators; both in caucus where party Interests were plainly spoken of, and in the .-senate, where that political sentiment, ls glossed with the plea of public good, are being plead with to resign, the views they, have as? serted, a?d ll they nobly persist In defending their States against the Impost!ion of sectional legislation, will be placed lu ihe category ot Conservatives or Democrats, aud lu all proba? bility visited with the displeasure of the ad? ministration. 1 Tbe most enri?os Radical theory yet ak vanced" is mat GovernorJScott and Governo Alcorn and other So ut he ra Republicana bav been forced to declare that no political organ1 zatlons are combined asainst the peace "t their respective States th rough fear tbatur less they take such positions their Uves woul be forfeited.
