Among the visitors who called on the President, on Tuesday morning last, were the Hon. J. P. Reed aud Hon. W. D'. Simp? son, of Sonth Carolina, who were presented by the Hon. Thomas L>. Jones, of Ken? tucky. During the interview Mr. Reed read, for himself and Mr. Simpson, the fol? lowing paper in relation to the condition of affairs in that State: "We have called, Mr. President, as mem? bers elect from the old Commonwealth of South Carolina to the Forty-first Congress of the United States, to tender for our? selves, and tho people we have been chosen to represent, our congratulations upon your auspicious assumption of the office of Chief Magistrate of the American Union. We are, sir, natives of the State from whence we come, and claim, as representative men of its ancient population, to be familiar with their political and material condition, their sentiments, and aspirations for the future. "Politically, in addition to the loss of nearly all thoir pecuniary resources, they have, by the results of the war, been prac? tically excluded, for moro than three years, from the family of States, and the blessings of civil government; but having been re? cently restored to thoir original position in the Union, upon the plan which the Con? gress in its wisdom saw fit to adopt, without concurring in tho manner of their restoration, they have accepted the accom? plished fact in good faith, and aro as loyal to the Government of a common country as any other equal number of the American people. "Their condition, socially, is and has been one of profound peace; and, aside from a fow isolated acts of personal violence, that have occasionally been committed in different parts of the State, snob as are un? fortunately of too common occurrence in all sections of the Union, good order has prevailed, and tho laws, Stato and Federal, euueted for their government by bodies in which they wore unrepresented, have beon respected, obeyed and euforced without the slightest tendency to tumult or violence. "Materially thc abundant harvests that have been vouchsafed to them, and thc high prices at which their leading staples have ruled, have relieved them iu a great measure from their embarrnssmenls, and opened up to their imaginations tho dawn of a prosperity so eutirely unexpected as to lead them to hope that events which were deemed tho most crushing evils may turn out to have been iudeed 'blessings in dis? guise. ' "lu sentiment, whilst almost the entire nativo white, end a largo number of the colored population, have affiliated and been identified with tho national Democratic party, their fetters aro not of such con? trolling strength as to induce or permit a factious opposition to tho party in power, or hinder them from yielding a hearty sup? port to all such measures of your adminis? tration as will, in their judgment, tend to develop the resources aud promote the in? terests of a common country. "Their hopes nud aspirations for tho fu? ture aro that their Stato may henceforth occupy precisely the same relatious to the Government, uuder a common Constitution and laws, that is occupied by the other States of tho Union; and to this end that tho laws imposing burdens and conferring benefits on the people may be uniformly enforced, persons and property protected, tho peace preserved inviolate, the unity and perpetuity of tho Government maintained, and that uninterrupted fraternity, prosperi? ty and happiness may attend the whole American people, East, West, North and South, without regard to race, color, or previous condition. And such, sir, are. tho sentiments of tho hearts of ourselves and our people." Io response to which, tho President re? marked: "GENTLEMEN: Tho sentiments expressed in that paper should meet tho approbation of every law-abiding and Union-loving citi? zen of the country." Threo bachelors in an Iowa town played a novel game of cards thc other day. The loser was to marry during the year, or sup- I port the other two bachelors for the follow? ing year.
