Consols at fie same time were only 93j. The par of . five-twenties in London is 91, so that, making allowance for accrued Interest, they ore not ?ifar from that level. -Three young gentlemen left Selma, Ala., one day last week on what will doubtless be considered, In this day of railroads and rapid' transit, a remarkable trip. - They left for New York on horseback, and will go the entire dis? tance in tue saddle. Their names are as fol 1 ows : C. L. Tilden, Frederick Sherman and B. D. Turuer. The first two have been In busi? ness In Selma for some months post; the lust named came from New York specially to make this trip. They are all well mounted and equipped for the journey, and, no doubt, will have a pleasant trip. They are Northern men, ?and the Selma Times suggests that they take "Washington In their route, and when they reach there, that they be called before the Congressional committee to tell what they saw ol the Ku-Klux. -The Rev. Mr. Cheney, of Chicago, is out in full revolt against Bishop Whitehouse, of Il? linois, and < he high church majority ol the diocese. Although no longer sustained by the courts, yet at the Easter election ol vestrymen he was supported by his church with only one dissenting vote. As he was suspended for in? subordination, the bishop did not attend to administer the rite of confirmation to the can" didates. bat that seemed to make no differ? ence, since nineteen persons presented them? selves, and, in lack of a better, Mr. Cheney took the Presbyterian position, and himself officiated as bishop, confirming the applicants, apparently to their entire satisfaction. -A Washington letter, of Thursday, says: "The prospect of the passage by the Senate of the House amnesty bill is not very good, from the fact that lt requires the amendment of the rule In loree restricting tho order ot business. There is also a probability, if lt should be taken up, that along discussion would result, which would naturally be confined to the enemies of the measure. This ls to be regretted, ior at 1 east half ot the New England senators are disposed to support lt, If lt could be brought to a vote at once. As Boon as the Ku-Klux bill i s disposed of, an effort will be mad? to bring the question before the 8enate, when the friends of the measure hope for a favorable result." -In consequence of the recent r?signation of a Democratic member of the New i'^rk As? sembly, the Tammany party ia one short of the magic numoer, slxty-ilve, requisite to pass a bill. In this condition of affairs the Re? publicans of both houses held a caucus, and combined to defeat all bills considered Democratic party measures. The party lines will now be tightened up a little, but the Re? publicans themselves throw some doubt upon the steadfast obedience ol two of their party to the cau-ius dictum. The Democrats, la .caucus, resolved to introduce a bill at onc? lor holding an election in the Six? teenth District of New York City, to till the vacancy, aad lt was resolved to use all parlia? mentary means to pass lt without delay. A telegram received since the above was writ? ten anuuunces that the election bill hus been passed. -A Washington dispatch of Wednesday ? t says : uTne action of ihe Senate to-day in | c adopting Seuaior Sherman's resolution direct- b lng tbe finance committee-, during the recesa, to inquire into and readjust the present sys? tem of taxation.' Is regarded as an indication that we* are to have a large reduction of taxes at the next session of Congress. There are those who believe that the result of the com' mittee's labors, provided they are prosecuted without allowing Secretary Boutwell to inter? f?r?, will be a bill which will cut down taxes to the extent of seventy-five millions per an? num. Some think we can afford to dispense with a hundred millions. The most moderate expect a reduction of at least fifty millions. There is reason to believe that the system of internal taxation will be attacked most vigo? rously, and that the reductions will be made mainly in that quarter. The committee will not begin lt? work until after the fall elec? tions." Minority Representation-Its Effect in this State. There is no prospect of amending theJCon stitution of the State Of South Carolina so as to require a property, or educational, qualifi? cation of al! persons claiming the right to vote. The Fifteenth Constitutional Amend? ment does not stand in the way. A property test, or an educational test, is not a discrim - ] ?nation on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. But as the bulk of the poor and of the illiterate, in this State, are negroes, the effect of such a test would be to deprive far more blacks than whites of the privilege of tho suffrage. No snell test, or qualification, could te engrafted npon the Constitution, without the consent of the identical men whom the completed amend? ment would disfranchise. To ask the negro majority to support such an amendment, is to ask them to put themselves in the minor? ity, and strip themselves of whatever pro? tection their numbers now give them. To ask the Kadical leaders to advocate such an amendment, is to ask- them to vacate all their fat offices and to give up all their profit? able control over tbe legislation of the State. Neither the voling rank and file, nor the Radical dignitaries, pretend to be angels of un sel ii 3 h ness. They have their full share o? the weaknesses of humanity. How, then, can the whites ask the colored people, with good grace, to do what we, if the boot were on' the other leg, would never dream of doing? Yet there is an evident need of some con? stitutional check upon an irresponsible ma? jority. The sixty thousand whites require di? rect representation;' not merely because of their intelligence nnd comparative wealth, but because minorities have rights, and because ao majority can be trusted to legislate, at all iimes, with an eye to the welfare of the minor? ity. This evil has been felt in every State in ;he Union, and, because of the exceptional ignorance and poverty of the negroes, is felt with terrible force in Sooth Carolina. In other words, there is no reason wky 90,000 colored voters should have 60,000 white vo? ters wholly at their mercy. The 90,000 are m titled to a preponderance of representa? ron, but the 60,000 are entitled to represen lation in the degree of their voting strength. Chis is the principle of tbe representation of] ninorities as engrafted upon the constitution if Republican Illinois, and os practiced, an-1? 1er Democratic auspices, in Pennsylvania. J( Tbe pian is os simple as the alphabet. Vbere, os in Illinois, cumulative voting, is it is called, is a feature of the public law, lach voter at all elections is entitled to as nany votes as there are persons to be voted or. These votes the voter may'divide arnon;, be candidates,, or cast them all for any one j andtdate. Take Charleston County, as au sample of the operation of this cumulative oting in South Carolina. There are eigh een members of tbe House of Representa Ives to be elected, and there are 12.000 tadical voters and 8000 Conservativ? voters, t is evident that the Conservatives by cast ng their votes, 144,000 in number, for seven t} andidates would give those candidates a r. najority and would elect them, while the [ iadical voters, by concentrating their vote ipon eleven candidates, could, in the same ray, elect those eleven. Both Conservatives ind Radicals would be represented in the ( ieneral Assembly in the ratio of 12,000 to OOO. And, under this system, the Radicals rould obtain their fair share of representa ion.intbe counties where they, instead of be Conservatives, are largely in the minor y. The general effect would be that the 11 wo parties would stand in tbe General As-11 enibly as 90,000 to 60,000. Patting down he number of members of the lower Honse 1 one hundred and twenty, the plan of umulative voting should give tbe Radicals 2 members, and the Conservatives 48 mern-1 j ers. 11 This, it seems to us, is the most certain ray of obtaining for tbe whites the voice rhich is their due in conducting the affairs f the State. The principle has the approval i ? f tbe most thoughtful statesmen in the onntry. It bas tbe commendation, in this c .tate, of the leading Republican paper, and 1 f many prominent members of the Radical '' arty. No man is deprived of the right to 11 ote. Oae voter bas as many votes os the ther. No attempt is made to give capital tie power to crush labor, or to take the gov- ^ rnment from one race and class and give it 3 another. All that is done is to give all len representation in proportion to their otiog strength, in this way abolishing that tupid and unjust principle which makes lujorities supreme, and allows 101,000 men 3 dispose, as they will, of the lives and for-1 unes of the 99,000 who voted 'squarely tgainst them. Shall not an attempt be made to introduce ii South Caro.ina, as a sure way of saving he State from anarchy and ruin, the blessed irinciple of minority representation ? 'He New York San and thc Broadway Bank. A. P., the Columbia correspondent of the few York Bun, in bis desire to throw a flood f light upon the rascalities connected wah >uuili Carolina Radicalism, b s triade some tutem? nts whicn are not warranted by thu? rn th. A paragraph, in a recent letter, re liing lo the Broadway Baak, is a striking ase in point. A P. suid : "The Broadway Bank has had an agent here in Columbia) all winter, looking aller its lii? erest? and watching that the Legislature did lot do anything to endanger its securities. ?he fraud in this transaction has been so great, o unblushing, that the Bank evidently secs epudiutlon of that portion of the debt ut east lurking In the air, and, from all I ca? earn, its fears are weil founded. Whatever he State ot South Carolina may do AMI Ibu ilher bonds, the Land Commission bonds will e repudiated as certain us the sun shines. The people bare- never had a dollar's value from their Issue,, and they swear they will never pay them.* Aa Boon as thia statement made its ap? pearance, the officers of the Bank sent to the Sun the following card : "To the Editor of The Sun: "SIB-In a letter signed A. P., dated Colum. bia, S. C., March 28, 1871, contained in your Issue of Saturday, April 6,1871, at the latter portion of said letter statements are made which aro so entirely incorrect that we ask as a simple act of Justice to the business commu? nity, as well as the' National Broadway Bank, that you will, by our authority, contradict those statements. The officers of this Bank never saw any ol the $700,000 bonds, never knew that there were any such bonds ; never had any arrangements with Mr. Klmpton or any one else In reference to any bonds of the State of South Carolina but what was open, fair, and legitimate ; never had an agent of any kind in that State, and are ready at any time to give all the Information that ls perti? nent and legitimate to be given to any person that bas a right to ask, in reference to what we know about any financial business entrust? ed *o their care or charge. Believing that you are as ready to do justice as to receive lt, we remain yours truly, "P. A. PALMER, President. "J. L. EVERITT, Cashier. .'National Broadway Bank, April 8, 1871." This official assurance was enough to sat? isfy the public that the Broadway Bank has no connection with any of the dark schemes of oar State officials, and that its dealings with this State, as with the whole mercantile community, have been both fair and above? board. The Broadway Bank stands as high - as any similar institution in the United States, and its principal officers, Mr. Pal? mer and Mr. Everitt, are everywhere recog? nized as gentlemen of unsullied integrity, as well as of large financial experience and practical business ability. CONSISTENCY is a jewel. The Radicals in Congress were ready enough last week to vote $12,000 for tbe relief of aged and des? titute colored people in the District of Co? lumbia, but when Congressman DeLarge offered an amendment appropriating $20, . 000 for the Sisters of Mercy, in this ?ity, ob? jection was made, and the charitable project failed once more. The Radicals, who had grown so eloquent in behalf of the poor ne? gro, had not a word to say for the Sisters of Mercy. The Democrats, of course, did all in their power to have the objection with? drawn. MK. CCLLKN LARK is appointed Auditor for Laurens County.
