"Qc Not Weary lix "WcH-Dolng."
GOT. Scott 33J3, in a reoout speech : .'
"IQ ono ot tho papers tboy comparo,
under the ckpuon of 'Grantarid Scott,'
the oourse of General Grant with that of
myself. Look ht my first message tb the
General Aesombly. Whether judicious
or not, I was criticized for reoommend
ing the Legislature to memorializo Con?
gress to remove the disab?itie? of every
man in tho State. Lot mo read the ex?
tract, '3 , .
V 'I would earnestly recommend that
your honorable body will, at an early
period, memorialize Congress to relieve
every .citizen of South Carolina from all
political disabilities. I make this recoai?
me udu ti on tho moro readily from the fact
that there aro bol?n ved to bo none of that
elass in this State who have committed
infamous offences against the laws of
war. 1
"The statute, of disfranchisement waa
doubtless wiso end proper at the earlier
stage of .reconstruction, and justly
marked the nation's abhorrence of those
who, having been the trusted leaders of
the people, bad lod them into rebellion
against the benign Government of their
country.' Yet tue continuance of such
disfranchisement would bo an anomaly
nnd?r our Republioun system, based upon
the doctrine of universal! suffrage. Let
us hope that such an not of magnanimi?
ty will not bo mistaken by the class dis-i
franchised, while t0 deny .it wilt tend to
make them tb o objecta of sympathy, and
will be, no it wore, to keep a knife stick?
ing in ab -?p^jn wound.' " .
L:Weli?ve:QpIy lo- say thai /wo ?regard
tho sentiments bou?rablo to the author,
and wo have.'to remark thai so much the
worse for f;hf Governor i| he J goes back'
upon them now. ? i
Again,.thoj?overnor says.' j
"But tho party in power that desires
and does meet tho approval of the peo?
ple will hold that power. A corrupt,
vioious government cannot expect to re?
tain . power.- i The people becomo dis?
gusted. Any man who will not dis?
charge his duty honestly and faithfully,
cannot retain the confidence of his fel
low-citizons."
Judged by this standard, how stands
the ruling regime? Weighed in the bal?
ance, will it bo found wanting or not?
The Spanish Cortes is bewildered over
the news from Cuba, and no wonder, for
we,' who are much nearer that perturbed
island, are quite as much at sea in regard
to the real condition of affairs as the
people of Madrid. Senor Bivero assured
his fellow-deputies that not one word of
the news telegraphed from this oountry,
on the subject, was worthy of oredence.1
This is putting it a little too strong, as
the accounts of both sides are transmit?
ted to Spain. The trutlt is probably to
be arrived at by believing a modicum of
each version. One thing is certain, the
war has how lasted eighteen months, and
still the revolution flourishes. Deputy
Bivero 'should have borne this one fact
in mind, and edified his fellows accord?
ingly.
OoNFBDEBATB DEAD AT GETTYSBUBO.
It is proposed to remove the remains of
the Confederate dead from Gettysburg.
This is tho scheme, of the Hollywood
Memorial Association of Biobmond, Vir?
ginia. Au appeal has been made to the
Southern people. Thus far a small sum
only has beeu sent on. We see it
stated "nothing from South Carolina."
We hope that this pious work will be
carried out. Communications and re?
mittances may be made to Mrs. George
W. Bandolpb, Biobmond, Virginia.
Alluding to the proposed anti-radical
June Convention, the Wiunsboro News
says: "Jf the convention acts prudently,
we pledge it our support beforehand."
It says also:
"Of course, we endorse tho principles
announced in the press conference reso?
lutions, having for nine months past ad?
vocated them."
The Columbia Boord of Trade failed a
few evenings since to elect a President,
because the meeting was too thinly at?
tended.
It does not speak very well, it seems
to us, for the board, that even an elec?
tion of President should fail to draw a
fall meeting. If our Columbia friends
will pardon us, we would suggest to
them to try a big bowl of punch for the
May meeting, and havo it properly ad?
vertised, and our word for it, there will
be a quorum.- Charleston Courier.
Tbe Union Times says: "AU of the
water courses of Union bave been out of
their banks. Almost all! tho bottom
lands of Tyger and Broad Rivera havo
been covered with water. In conse?
quence, planters upon tho rivers are de?
layed in their planting. It will be
many days beforo ploughing can be re?
sumed, and ia some instances a good
deal of work has beon lost. We fear other
serious injury has resulted from this
untoward freshet."
A parly of disguised men broke open
tho jail at Jaciuto, Miss., on Wednes?

white and one black, and killed them.

The declino of Amorican commerce ia
a matter whioh h aa and ia still engaging
the attention of Congress, bnt ft ii feared;

Thom can bo no doubt that thc prooont
stagnation in oom meroo is owing to the
protect}YO policy, which was inaugurated
and whioh is still supported by the Re?
publican party. It has become a fixed
fact that wooden stearn vessels aro now
out of date-their day haa gone by.
Yet on account of the high protective
tariff on iron, our people cannot compete
with foreign nations in the construction
of iron-olad vessels, A complete revolu?
tion in the carrying trade upon the ocean
has been worked ainoe 1860, and now tbe
screw propellers take tbe place of modern
sailing vessels. The duty upon iron ia
such that it costa something over $10,000
more to construct a vessel iu this coun?
try of 1,00'J tons burthen than it does in
England or other European States; as
long as this is the case, oar vessels can?
not competo with those built abroad. It
is a remarkable fact, that we have not a
singlo steam vessel upon the ocean en?
gaged in commercial business betweeu
our own and a foreign nation. Our
mails, our passengers and freight are all
carried by foreign vessels. The United
States Government pays annually a sub?
sidy to foreign vessels of some $650,000
for simply transporting the mails.

Since my lost writing, nothing of
greater importance has transpired than
the message of the President to tbe So?
nate, notifying that body that an exten?
sion of: thirty days from the 29th iustant
had been obtained in whioh the treaty
for San Domingo could bo ratified. This
extension was obtained for the express
purpose, of oourse, of giviug more time
for deliberation iu the matter, but the
opponents to tho measure will make a
desperate effort to disposo of the bill at
once, for they aro assured that tho ne?
cessary two-third vote cannot be ob?

opposition to the treaty,'contended tbnl

for a ''constitutional government, and

It is understood to be tbe desire of the
President that the treaty be recommitted,
and that a commission bo immediately
sent to Sun Domingo, that more iuforma

It is confidently expected that the Sue

Washington city, with a population o:
nbout 160,000, bas only two theatres. I
bas some very fine libraries; seven asy
luina; six Baptist Churches; eight Catho
lie; one Christian; ten Episcopal; out
Episcopal Methodist; one Evangelical
Association; one Hebrew Synagogue
five Lutheran; fourteen Methodist Epis
copal; ton Methodist Protestant; elevei
Presbyterian; two Quaker; one Sweden
borgian; one Unitarian, and two Con
gregational--in all, about sixty-six oburob
es or places of worship. These are al
well attended. We have twenty-nim
Masonic Lodges, with a very large mern
bership; twenty-three lodges of Odd Fel
lows; twelve of Knights of Pythias; sevei
of Improved Order of Bed Men; niue o
Brotherhood of the Union, and seven o
Good Fellows. Wo have three bose bal
dabs-tho Olympic, National and tb?
Jefferson. The two first are professional
while the latter is an amateur club.
We are expecting to have a vast im
provemont in the city in the way of i
new market-house. At present our prin
oipal market is on Pennsylvania avenue
between Ninth and Seventh streets, am
consists of a long, low, dilapidated oh
building, to which is connected a num
ber of old wooden shanties. A bill ha
recently passed the House, authoriziDi
nu incorporated company to erect ;
splendid edifice upon the vite of tbe oh
building, for market purposes. Thi
building will not only be a great oma
mont to that portion of the city, bn
will give greatly increased facilities t
the country people, and to the marke
people generally, for the display of tbei
produce and for security and protectio:
in bad weather.
Tbo Senate Committee, to which th
District usury bill, as amended by th
House, was referred, has agreed to rc
port this bill to the Senate withont fm
tber amendments. The money broker
in the city are strongly opposed to th
bill, because they aro aware that tbei
illegitimate business, or rather their bu
siness illegitimately transacted, if thi
bill becomes a law, is at an end. Fe
the principals, from whom tho mone
sharks have been in tho habit of gottin
money to loan, can afford, at a rate i
ten per cent., (as this bill proposes t
allow in special contracts,) to aot as thoi
own agents. The proposition to allo
any rate of interest parties might agre
upon, receives many advocates. Tbo us
of money, like merchandize, is wort
what it will bring, and when once il
traffic is left unrestricted, its circulatio
will bo freer, moro gcuoral, and consi
quently, greater.
Sir Edward Thornton, tho British M

derstood that smaller rewards- will be
given for inventions, even should they
fail to meet all tho requirements. The
Government will also pay a royalty of
five per cent, on all machines manufac?
tured. Messrs'. Alexander & MBBOU, of
Washington, will give any information
with reference to the matter which in?

The Tribune interviewer examines the
witness-^Judge Orr-I ask tho question :
"But will .rv /rue Republicanism gain
accession to its ranks from the native
white men of the South?"
[See Tribune's report of Judge Orr's
laugnag?. published in the FHU?NTX, of
the 3d instant.].
One of the lawyers for the prosecu?
tion-"That will do. Come down,
Judge. Although your testimony is too
sweeping, as there are doubtless good
men in your category, yet you have n
right to the expression of your opinion,
and you are known to be a plain talker."
Mr. Crier, call Governor R. K. Scott
if ho is not in Ohio.
Governor Scott answers and takes tho
stand.
Lawyer-"Governor, I notice in the
report of your speech at tho meeting at
N eagle's Hall, called to advance thc
election of tho radical ticket for Mayor
and Aldermen, that you say: 'Look at
Goveruor Orr's letter, recently pub?
lished.' From this expression, it appears
that you had read Governor Orr's 'letter,'
HS you call it, before your recent Bpecch.
Is it not so?"
Governor Scott-"Most assuredly."
Lawyer-"Well, then, what do you
think of Governor Orr? I moan, of
those qualities iu him that go to mako a
good witness?"
Governor Scott-"I believe Governor
Orr to be ono of the purost and best men
in the State."
[Seo Governor Scott's language, as re?
ported in the Charleston Republican, of
April 2d.]
Lawyer-"How, then, do you reconcile
Goveruor Orr's language with yours, to
wit: 'I will undertake to say, and vouch
for it, that none of the present officers
of the State Government of South Caro?
lina have improperly used the money of
the State.*"
[See Republican's report of Governor
Scott's speech.]
Governor Scott-"Every man, sir, is
entitled to his opinion-especially, air, if
he is a Republican, or any part thereof.
But I will add, sir, that if a man is, or
ever has been a Democrat, either in the
North or South, then damn him-that is,
if tho Court will allow me to uso lan?
guage more emphatic than polite."
Tho Court-"Go on, sir; in these
days the Court is not moaly-mouthcd,
and besides, as yet, there aro no ladies
on the jury."
Lawyer for the State-"By tho way,
Governor Soott, let mo ask yon another
question: You seem, and we do not
blame you for this, to have a special ab?
horrence of that oath-bound and Beeret
association said to exist and coiled 'tho
Kn Klux Kluu?' "
Governor Scott-"Yes, sir, it is a vile
organization, and, as you say, to be con?
demned, because secret and oath-bound,
as well as for other reasons."
Lawyer-"Very well. What about
that other organization, called the Loyal
League? Is not this 'secret and oath
bound?' Do not these societies meet
and plot in secret? And are they all
right and the K. K. K. all wrong? Do
tho Loyal Leagues contain all saints and
theK. K. K's all sinners?"
Governor Soott-"Mum."
Lawyer-"Well, then, sir, let me say
that I regard bulli wrong. I see no ne?
cessity for secret political gatherings,
and I oppose them, whether mythical K.
K. K.'s or real and living "Loyal
Leagues," where spirits, blucie, white
and yellow, meet and stir the politioal
caldron-. You may come down, sir."
The case was then argued for tho
prosecution and the defence. The
Judge gave his opinion, in which he
claimed that there was a good deal to be
said on both sides, and tho ouse then
went to the jury. FAIR PLAY.
SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. J. D. Murphy,
who took passage on board tho steamer

Reply. -
Mn. EDITOU: I havo juGt seen, in the
OiiSANEB, of tho 30tb rit., ? "supple
mont" to an atticlo on immigration by Dr.
E. B. Turnipsood. I would not trouble
yon or your readers with any notifie of
that singular production, which seems
i to bo rather a review of my communica?
tion, than a "supplement" to his own,
vere it not for the gross misrepresenta?
tion of my meaning which it contains,
and an assumption of superior know?
ledge of the matters discussed. For
instance,..he professes, "by logion de?
duction," to understand me as say?
ing, that South Carolina does not
need, to "a large extent, either la?
borers or while voters/'1 By what "lo
gical" process, he arrives at that conclu?
sion, I tbink it .would puzzle even thc
distinguished Professor of Logic in our
University to determine. Again, quoting
what I said of our loss of labor since
1866, but without notioing tho rensouf
given therefor, he exclaims with a flou?
rish as relevant as it is "logical." "Does
bo mean that while the peasant of Eu
rope" (yet he says a moment afterward,
I know nothing of the condition of tlu
peasant) "is groaniug nuder almost
intolerable taxation by their govern
i menta, and burdened by the restric
(tiona nud oppressions of their landed
I proprietors, and crying for relief fron
? the Southern planter, by being trans
j ported to the fertile fields of the nu mn
South, that they (the planters) shook
take the plow-handles and give his wast?
lands to the alreudy comfortable 'whit?
men of some means' and let the politics
regeneration of South Carolina 'go b;
default?' " Now, here is another one o
those "logical deductions" which I fai
to comprehend. I think, Mr. Editor
that you would be willing tb risk tb
"political regeneration" of South Care
lina and her material advancement, toe
"going by default," if the planters woul
actually take tbo plow-handles and hoi
on to them, and give their sparo lands t
white immigrants with some means, i
distinguished Confederate General sai
to mo tbe other day, "Tbe great evil t
oar times is, our white people wont go ?
work themselves."
But again, the writer of thc "suppl?
ment" says, in reference to my propos
tion, "I suppose he certainly is not awai
that Gen. Tochman, a Polander, is tl]
author of this proposition, and tberefoi
I will not ncouse him of plagiarism.
Well, in the first pince, Gen. Tochma
is not tbo author of my proposition. An
in the next place, if our propositioi
were identical, (and by bis own showin
they are not,) there would be no sem
' or pertinency in tho nhargo of plagiarist
I have yet to learn that 1 proposed is
synonym for / originated. So he ev
dently understands it. Tbe idea is
I novel one, at least, to me, that in preset
ing a proposition, there is implied
: claim to originality of conception. Bu
Mr. Editor, the insinuation of plagiaris
does not "disgruntle" me in the least,
have no pride of paternity in this eas
I feel free to acknowledge that I was ii
cited to mako my proposition two yea
ago, by a letter of D. Wyatt Aiken's,
tho PHCBNIX, offering to donate ti
homesteads, of fifty acres each, to act?
settlers from Europe. In refcronco
what I said of tho plantation system, tl
writer of the "supplement" says I "see
to know nothing of tbe oonditiou of tl
peasantry of Europe, and view the mi
ter wholly from the American stan
point." He views it from the Europei
"staud-point," and having seen wbi
men in Europe, ""working under au ov<
seer, half-bent with short-handle hoes
aye, and submitting to tbe lash, too, ai
having read in some guide-book that "
Germany, a white woman and a donk
may bo seen pulling the same plow,"
avers and says he can prove it, that "<
can get nearly os efficient laborers as t
negro ever was under slavery, and wo
them under the old plantation system
Ali OL whioh is very "logical" and cc
elusive, when viewed from the Europe
"stand-point." He says farther, "a
foreiguer of intelligence" will agree wi
him i? toto. To verify bis opinions,
quotes heavily from a letter by Profess
Sachlichen. Mr. Editor, you have se
the professor's letter. Let me record 1
experience with foreign labor. Profesi
Saobtleben was n German. He had i
European "stand-point." He was des
ons of introducing German labor. Bei
an ardent Democrat he was anxious, ti
to increase the number of white vote
On a visit to Germany, ho selected c
of those "groaning" peasants, "cryi
for relief from the Southern plante:
paid all expenses and brought him
Columbia. Saobtleben felt proud,
would show the plodding Columbi*
how to raise vegetables for the table a
for market. - He would have a mo
garden, at onco the envy and the adi
rat iou of the city. Besides, would
not swell the ranks of the Democracy
adding one more voter from tho Fad
land? Well might the professor 1
proud. He had inaugurated a movem
big with results socially, politically, i
I may add, gastronomically. It was
auspicious move. Ho was a Germ
He bad himself selected a German,
was operating from the truo Gern
"stand-point." It must succeed,
put "Hans" to work. All went on sw
mingly, raising, selling, eating veg?
hies, until one day "Hans" came
missing. Tho professor was in distn
"Mein Gott, where is Hans?" Hear
answer, and ex uno, Sec. Hans has pool
cd tbo proceeds of bis marketing, jui
the garrison and become a F?deral i
dior. Tho professor lost, in addition
said pockotings, all he had paid in bri
ing tho "groaning peasant" over.
The plantation system cannot bo ?
ried on here with white labor. When
country becomes densely populated I
peasantry whoso "hopeless poverty
dependence" will mako them submit
tbe lash, "rather than bo turned of
shift for themselves," thon it may i
coed-not before. I oould multiply
stances where it bao been tried and failed.
I have not beard of a single instance
where it bas succeeded. We want aetoal
settlers. We want capital as well as labor.
* In the April number of the Rival Ca?
rolinian, H. D. Jacques, Esq., gives us
an editorial on "How to get iuimigrun ts,"
that is eminently p rao ti cal andT-to the
point.
If wo would redeem our State from
her ruined condition, we must go to
work. It will not do to sit down nnd
cry "more labor," while we ourselves are
idle, or to exhaust our little means in
impracticable schemes to obtain a kind
of labor we cannot keep after we get it.
There ure hosts of white men in the
South living in idleness. Let them go
to work. Let the planters and their idle
sons tuko the plow-bundles. To do so,
will not disgrace, but honor thom. They
will bo healthier and happier and thereby
bring weal to the commonwealth.
