?..*"? - . * ; ?COLUMBIA. Friday Moniing, April 19, 1867,J OoVernor Perry's Letter. The communication that we pub? lished in yesterday's issue will attract attention, from the high position which tho writer has occupied, for many years, in the public affairs of tho State, and on account of his po? litical antecedents-being always on earnest, consistent Union mon, and opposing nullification and secession. Tbere^B no public man in pur Stato who has a dearer record for political consistency and devotion to the Union. This record doubtless induced the President to appoint bim.. Provi? sional Governor, to direct and con? trol tho moasures. then deemed neces? sary to restore thcState to tho Union. The President failod in bis poUcy; and ibo last constitutional amend? ment was submitted to tho States for ratification, andrejected by the Soutli jern States. To this Coarse, Governor Perry advised, through the oolumns .of this journal, and he u?wp*off?rs counsel ta the people os io their ac? tion under the. military* reconstruc-. ^tion law. Wo regret exceedingly that,'At this joncturo of our political affairs, Gov. Perry considered it bis duty to, ?lay before the people any argumento cal? culated to produce the impression on tbeir minds that they ought not to organize tbeir State Government in conformity with the provisions of the military bill. The constitutional amen tim ont, it is true, was opposed by nine-tenths of the people, and rejected with "scorn , and indigna? tion" by Southern Legislatures. But did that rejection, with remarkable unanimity, throughout the Southern States, bring to them any . easier terms? "Strange to say," the Go? vernor writes, "that there aro many persons wb'ose high sense of honor would not let them adopt the consti? tutional amendment, but are now urging the people to voluntarily swallow the military bill, regardless of honor^ principle and consistency." We do not see auy thing "strango," ?nor anything at variance with con? sistency, that thoso who counselled rejection o? what was considered a harsh amendment of tho. Constitu? tion, should now advise the people to obey a law, passed under nil the forms at least of the Constitution. Tho former vie had the pouter io reject; the latter demands obedience, and obey? ing it involves neither "honor, prin? cipio nor consistency." This is no argument at nil, and wo sincerely regret that the hackneyed phrases of "swallowing" anything degrading should bc used in discussing a grave question, that involves not only tho political interests 'of the Stato and people, but their progress in material prosperity. The people of South Carolina have come fnce to face with the reality of their presont situation, and wo do not believe that, if oven their great political leaders of tho past were to talk about honor, and dignity, and principle and all that sort of thing, they would follow thoir .counsels. The first movoment is, to get mstored to the Union; the next, to recuperate and devolop their re? sources. We have not tho hope that any ad? vantage will result to tho Southern States from tho injunction against tho law now pending beforo the Su? preme Court, which Governor Perry evidently entertains. The Chief Jus? tice has already decided that the President cannot bo made a party to these bills of complaint, and that ho is bound to execute a law of Con? gress without lot or hindrance from tho Judicial Department of t > Go vcrnmcnt; and although it may bc the last noble effort of Soiithpru States to maintain thoir dignity and honor as States, and ino just rights and liberties of their citizens, ycl Governor Perry bas had too niucl; experience in tho fields of politics, and is too well acquainted with tin tactics and policy of thc majority ii Congress, to hope that tho dccisioi of thoCourt, if favorable, wouldworl any amelioration in the distressed condition of the Southern people Such a decision would only inllami their passions, and rekindle sec tional strife-that great bane of tin country's advancement and 'pros pcrity. The advice which the distinguishec writer of the communication referret to-to endors? "Ko Convention" 01 tho t.ckets as they aro depositcd witb all due deference, wo say, is i **mrj ? ?'i j? ? ? . MM , .. . ? . . ? .? M --.-j--1 -? 'grave ejiror, onc^tfruitlul of mischief if ftoted;Jipon by:tbfe people/ We ha* fondly Jeeped to see-und Jre believe^ j| is the* determination of an/ over* whelming majority of the citizens of the State, that it shall be so-the people of South Carolina carry out, in good faith, as a measure of recon? struction, the provisions of the law of Congress. They are weary of po? litical excitement, and while great principles never change, the mere political dignity and honor of ,their State j bave lott their magie effect upon* a people who hav? suffered .-are still suffering-from poverty and sectional legislation. We "aro surprised to bear Governor Perry ask, "Hnv.e we any nssuranco .that wors? terms may not be imposed if we accept?" We think we have, in tbe declarations of their leaders and in the express assertions of their newspapers, that these measures aro a finality. But still, "again, the Go? vernor falls into the error we- have already noticed, when be speak? of "acceptance." Ono thing is certain', that if we do not-no? accept-faith? fully carry out tho programme pre? sented in the law; worse ' terms will assuredly bo imposed, and the State either territorialized or parcelled out to ber neighbors-ber lands confis? cated, bor whole people disfranchised -leaving to them only the refuge of expatriation. We affirm that this would i no vit n , bly be the result, if the people of South Carolina should oxhibit any contumacy about a cheerful com? pliance with the law,of Congress; and we furtbor affirm, that the people of South Carolina aro not prepared to be drawn again into the mael? strom of national politics. They havo certain duties to perform-cer? tain forward movements to take? and we believe they will bo performed and taken without au? reference to tho Democratic or any otfcer party at tho North. The idea of- re-actiorr there, or of entertaining bopo from any party there, is obsolete. ? We have trifled too long with our best interests, in leaning upon snob a broken reed; and if every Northern .State would go as Connecticut, while we might feel that there was re? action, yet wo would earnestly trust that, under no circumstances, would our people bo seduced info the belief that party politics eau ever benefit them in any poiut'of view. From our earliest acquaintance with South' Carolina politics, we were always taught to regard Gov. Perry as the champion of the Union, in the midst of a wicked and perverse gene? ration; and, therefore, it is no more singular, Jo-day, to see secessionists anxious for the restoration of the Union, than to see Gov. Perry giving tho aid of his eounsel against such a course. It is tho first deviation from a rigid adhesion to Uniou principles that we remember in his political career; and although he, with others, may bo temporarily disfranchised, yet we think that calm reflection and dispassionate judgment, so cha? racteristic of Gov. Perry, wi11 yet induce him to co-operate with our prominent citizens in securing, in tho most, and indeed the only, practical mode, our restoration as a people to the political rights and to our repre? sentation iu Congress as a State of the Union. Let aft our people, whe? ther Union or secession in their for? mer proclivities, unite and work heartily iu this great work, aud the end will bo attained. Uniou and harmony should now be our watch? words. Lin: AND GORDON'S MU?LS BURNKD. We learn that tho extensivo flouring mills below Crawfish Springs, known as Lee and Gordon's, had' been en ? ti rely destroyed by fire on Thursday i night? Thc amouut of loss is not yet I accurately estimated, but wo have no doubt it was quito heavy. The dc ' struction of these well-known mills ' will be a serious loss to the inhabi i tauts of the section in which they were situated, as they were tho onlj mills for tho supply of several Conn ' ties. ?Vs a historical point, they were 1 widely known from their prominence i in the reports of thcbattlo of Chicka j manga. - Chattanooga Union. * Tho Military Board of Registra . tion, at Richmond, have appointed 3 over one hundred i\ gristrars. Appli . catious for these offices are coming in slowly, and a number of boards, it is said, will have to bo composed alto? gether of military officers and agents of tho Freedmen's Bureau. No appli 1 cations have as yet boon received from 1 remoto portions of tho State, where much time is occupied in procuring proper testimonials. There will bc - about 250 registering boards in thc i State, aud about 800 officers. ?MUfl ? *.? . - ? HEBREW MEETING FOB .
