Tho Charleston Republican says: "The Colombia PHOENIX says it is timo to let the negro 'severely alono* and put forth all energies to secure white emigration. "How docs that journal think that tho barbarous murder of the white immi? grant, Powell, at '-Laurene!, will affect such of bis forhior neighbors HR might be inclined to roovo to onr State? The very first step in our efforts for white immigrants is to guarantee them full freedom of political opinion-full free? dom of speech and fall freedom of the baiiot-and oomplete proteotion in i he exercise, of that freedom. Will tho PIKE KXX help Laurena to take thal slop?" We shall answer the Republican. We have no concealment to moko of our views. They ore tho same in the closot 83 in the field. As usual, the Republi? can, as the supporter of radicalism in South Carolina and the ready apologist for all its outrages and extravagances, does the white people of Laurens and of South Carolina foul injustice in its re? marks given above. In the first place, we know nothing of Powell, who was killed in the outbreak nt Laurens. But we do uot nnderstand that ho was an "immigrant." Wo have understood that he was brought from Ohio to be ouo of the constabulary in South Carolina. But whethor au immigrant or one of thc State police, ho fell in an affray, that occurred nt Laurens Court House. Thc livos lost are a matter of regret. But where does tho responsibility rest? Wo charge it upon those who brought about that state of feeling, which accident caused to break forth in riot and blood. We charge it upon the Executive, who armed one race and denied arms to thc other race. We charge it, further, upon the local aiders and abettors of tho Exe? cutive. So far as the whites were con? cerned, they went into the Reform move? ment, which was based upon the idea of conciliating the blacks. And had the colored people not been arrayed with arms in hands against the whites, and had it not been for radical incendiary harangues, we believo that no outbreak would have occurred at Laurens, and no lives would have been lost. This is our deliberate judgment. As for white immigrants, Laurens as well as all South Carolina do cordi? ally welcome them, and in spite of tho systematic effort of such journals as the Charleston Republican to cast odium upon the whites of South Carolina, there is guaranteed to white immigrants "full freedom of political opinion-full free? dom of speeoh-full freedom of the bal? lot, and complete protection in the ex? ercise of thnt freedom." The only offset to this is the case of the anti-radical negro voter. Experience shows, that in many places in South Carolina, a negro voter votes against radicalism at thc peril of his life. We have this to say to the Republican: Laurens needs no help from the PIICKNIX to take tho step the Republican speaks of. The immigrant will receive in Laurens the same reception accorded to him else? where in the State. Humau life is ns Baf e in South Carolina as in nny other S tate of the Union. It is only herc as else? where. Tho honest settler is welcome. But there is no love for the schein i u g demagogue, the political trickster, the vile incendiary and the mid-night plo? ter. Turning now to general principles, we have this to say: lu the solution of the serious questions and the vexed problems pending in South Carolina, our course has boen consistent. We prefer and wo advocate moral agencies, and wo desire to see these problems worked out by peaceful means. We dare not advocate other than God-approved methods of action. But, subjected as our people have been, to the most outrageous treat? ment to which civilized communities havo ever been exposed, it is not to be expeoted that the oommnnity will be en? tirely free from thoso outbreaks that spring from the heated passions of par? ties arrayed against each other, nov is it to bc deemed au unreasonable thing that a public opiuiou should exist which, whilst ifc deplores violence, holds thal so/nothing should bo pardoned to thc spirit of outraged feelings and violate" rights. When South Carolina (shall have just and impartial government-whey the era cf public thieves and pluudoreri shall have x>assed away-when "seurv; politicians" shall coasc to array tho Wael man against tho white, wo shah proba bly haye complete peace in this State. This is "tho step" that the Jic?>uUtca> may well help its party to take. .The ?l?nntl? A*yIma.J MK. EDITOR: It has been stated to me, on gorKt/anthorityVthafr the Board of Regenta of tho Lunatic Asylum are now paying pvor $3,000 foi services that, nu? der Dr;1 Parkor'a regithe, *cost bat $100. "How is this for highT'? h PHILO-FAIR PLAY. Mn EDITOR: My attoutiou having been called to a communication in your issue of tho 30th of Ootoher, signed "Fair Play," (in which ho has played rathor foul,) I beg tho uso of your columns to set him and tho public right. My bid for tho samo amount of work as tho rest of tho bidders was $35,000. I mndo another bid Tor the ontire work, including stone work, plumbing, gas fitting, and iron work, which was$50,000. It was acoepted by tho committee, and almost any person with common judgment will acknowledge that they were wiso iu so doing, and studied the best interest of tho State in doing so. This thing cf crying "Ring" every timo a man is disappointed, is too ab? surd to talk about. JAMES M. ALLEN. T?i?? A?y?uiu ?Job Again. MR. EDITOR: It appears from tho com? munication of Mr. G. T. Berg, Architect, that ho is not satisfied with my dis? claimer of any reflection upon his con? duct, in my strictures upon the Asylum matter. The Board of Regents must be exonerated in order to bis own satisfac? tion. I decline to go further in that direc? tion. If Mr. Berg takes the champion? ship of tho Board, so bo it. Ho has taken his choice. I have assumed a public duty. I have no personal or pecuniary interest whatever in tho mat? ter. I do not intend to permit tho Architect or any ono elso to interpose his shield between mo aud tho object of my scrutiny. Now, to tho poiut. Thc facts I exposed are these: Tho Board of Regents, consisting of Messrs. A. G. Mackey, Joe Crews, Henry Sparnick, white, and Messrs. Beverly Nash, Sam. Thompson, Joe Taylor, B. A. Bozeman, li. B. Elliott, colored, by their bub-com mitteo, consisting of Messrs. Beverly Nash and Joe Taylor, advertised in the public prints for proposals to do a certain work on tho Lunatio Asylum. Ouo set of plans and specifications were sub? mitted for the guidance of each bidder. It seems that Messrs. Waring, Johnson and Bell mnde no estimates. Messrs. Davis, Noyes, Denny and Allen put in their bids. Mr. Denny's bid was $35,792, Mr. Noyes' $30,115, Mr. Davis' ?37,000. Mr. J. M. Allen, Senator from Greenville, gol thc contract for $52 000, and uot $50,000, as I waa first informed. These are (he fads. Just hero is tho ex? planation called for which Mr. Berg thinks I nm called upon to offer. I disagree with him. The burden of ex? planation is upon the Board, or upou him, if he selects to share their fortunes. If there aro facts withheld, I invito him to produco thom. He must know all about them, and I am sure ho cannot desire to keep them from tho public. But Mr. Berg acknowledges to some "informality," with which ho says ambi? guously that tho Boord of Regents "may or may not bc chargeable. " Now, just hero, let tho public understand what that possiblo "informality" was. Thc public have a right to form their own opinion as to the merits of this "in? formality." Mr. Berg seems anxious to sift this matter. That is precisely what I desire. There is another matter I may bring forward, upou which tho immacu? late Board of Regents may vouchsafe to inform a curious and observant public. I learn that thc Legislature appropriated $10,000 for the Asylum work. How is it that tho Board now agrees to pay Mr. Allen $32,000? What right had the Board to assume that tho balance $12,000-would be forthcoming? Was Senator Allen needed to cngiueer this job through tho coming Legislature? Was this thc canso of tho ardent par? tiality of the Board for Senator Allen? Is it true, further, that tho Senator did threaten tho Board or tho Committee with tho loss to thom of his inflnonce? I pause for a reply. Let us have light. FAIR PLAY. KNIGHTS OP 'inti SOUTHERN CROSS.-A number of the officers and soldiers who served under General Lee proposo to rinse au organization called the Knights of the Southern Cross. Tho Society will bo beneficial, socially elevnting and mentally improviug in fis character. Every officer nud soldier of tho Con? federate army, and officer and seaman of tho Coufederato navy, whose record is justifiable, and who served with zeal, will bc admitted to the privileges of the I order upou a perfect equality. Tho first sanctuary of tho organization will be started as carly as practicable. Tho State Dental Associatiou of South Carolina met at the Pheonix Fire Engiuo Company's Hall, Charleston, ou Tuesday evening, under the call of the last meet? ing, hold in Columbia in April, 1870. Twenty members wero present, and Dr. Patrick occupied tho chair. Seven let? ters of npplieation were read, and all tho applicants elected. It was resolved to I subscribe a sufficient amount to outer tain tho Southern Drmtal Association, j which will meet iu Charleston iu April . next. I TELE BILL.-Ex-Governor Henry A. ; Wise, alluding to tho Southern dead nt ? Point Lookout, says, with much poiut and truth: "If our liberties aro now de? parted forever, thc truth will have to be j told in tho epitaphs of the Confederate soldiers-who were the last to fight for i them." m I I** M?riio*l??' Aviation,' / ' ^ . Tb the Surviving OJJlccra and Soldiera of the ? , Confederate Army. Tho last sid rites axe over, and a?i thai waa mortal of our beloved and honored ohioftain, General Robert Edward Lee, hos beon committed to the grave. It ia now only left us to discharge the duty, so sacred to surviving affection, of build? ing and decorating his tomb. Admira? tion for his great qualities aud famo may prompt others to raise tho lofty column and imposiDg statue; but love for his person, reverence for his virtues, aud re? gard for his memory, dictate to his com? rades-in-arms, ns their first care, to pro? perly enshrino his remains. After General Lee nssumcd the Presi? dency of Washington College, his earliest work was the erection of a chapel on the College grounds. Beneath that chaste and massive structure, in the room de? signed for a library, and adjoining the oflice filled with mementoes of his last unselfish, earnest lubors, his ashes now repose. And there, in the temple reared by himself, at the home of his adoption, will be his fitting, and wo believe, his en? during resting-place. We hold this con? viction because his remains now rest in tho spot chosen by thoso who alone had u right to decide, because this spot would most likely havo becu approved by the illustrious dead himself had his self-for? getting mind ovor dwelt for a moment on such a question; because it holds his memory aloof from tho possible con? taminations of party politics; because it accords with the custom observed by the great fathers aud servants of the State, all of whom preferred unostentatious resting-places; aud because his tomb here will be really moro useful in connec? tion with tho last work of his exemplary lifo in porpetuatiug'tho good inlluencc of tho Collego ol* Washington and Lee throughout the South. We therefore invito his brethren and followers in the momentous struggle, which hus made his name and their own immortal, to unite in constructing hero a mausoleum worthy the foremost man of all his time. Ou the day succeeding tho death of General Lee, tho Confederate soldiers who es? corted the body from his residence to the chapel met and resolved at once to form a Memorial Association; and at au ad? journed meeting on the 15th of October, when tho funeral obsequies wero con? cluded, they adopted a plau of organiza? tion. An Executive Committee, with a j President and Yico-Presideufs, for the Southern States, have beeu appointed, and tho Association will soon be regu? larly incorporated. In order that the poorest in our ranks may bo enabled to joiu upon an equal footing with all others in tho pious work in view, it luis been determined that any Confederate soldier may become a member of the Associa? tion upon tho payment of ono dollar, and that the names of all the members ?shall bu enrolled in suitable books to be preserved in the Memorial Chapel. It is not proposed to limit subscriptions to the small sum already named, nor to cou ! linc them to soldiers; nor do our wishes I and purposes stop with the mausoleum. Contributions will be gladly received from fricuds everywhere and of all classes, who will, under proper regula? tions, bo iuscribed ns honorary members; and when a sufficient fund shah have been secured, it is contemplated lo erect a special monument in connection with the tomb. Fellow-citizens, wo invoke you by the common memories of tho past to be prompt and earnest in the noble under? taking to which you uro now invited. In tho quiet church-yard of Lexington Lieuteunut-General "Stonewall" Jack? son lies interred; and now his great commander sleeps near at hnnd. What holier spot can thero Lo to us than the common homo of these grand represen? tative men? What more fitting monu? ment for tho great army itself of which Leo was tho head, thc pride and glory, than ono raised here hy its survivors, perpetuating aliko tho memory of his and their own great deeds, tho enduring witness at once of their devotiou and of his heroic qualities as a man, his virtues as a patriot, and his graces as a Chris? tian; tho remembrauce of which will in? deed outlive the marble and tho bronze which human art mav fashion in his honor.
