COLUMBIA, S. C. Sunday Morning, March 26,1871. Be eel Time? There eau be no harvest without seed? time. Reaping must be preceded by sowing. The foundation of prosperity in States must rest in tho main upon the products of our fields and our work? shops. Above all interests, tho agricul? turist ranks highest in importaiioo, for alt other pursuits derive much of their vi? tality from this source. In this point of view it is that we throw out the obvious suggestion of the importance now of recognizing the seed-time now upon us. From one end of South Carolina to the other, let seed bo sown and let tho plough bo magnified. This is a ques? tion upon which there can be no differ? ence of opinion. The daty of al1, white and black, who derive sustenance from the fruits of the soil, is tho same. Letter from Hon. C. W. Dudley. The Charleston Neics contains o letter from the Hon. C. W. Dudley, which is pertinent to the times ana pointed in its statements. Mr. Dudley holds that ."loyal" citizens need no proteotion in South Carolina. They are safe. But bo admits that "loyal" robbers aro in some jeopardy. It is relief from radical mis? rule that is wanted. Mr. Dudley con? tends; and it is they who have fleeced our people who are now seeking "pro? tection." They desire to be allowed principally to enjoy the fruits of ill-gotten gains. 'President Grant's Proclamation. President Grant, having been applied to by Gov. Scott for aid, has issued his proclamation, commanding the "insur? gents" in this State "to disperse and retire peacefully to their respective abodes within twenty days from this date"-March 24. "Help me, Cassius, or I sink." MB. GBANT'S PBOCLAMATION.-Com? menting on this document, the Charles? ton News truthfully says: The formidable proclamation from President Grant, printed this morning, will do no good, and may do no harm. There are no insurgents to disperse, but all the soldiers who ever crossed the Po? tomac cannot make South Carolina happy and contented, so long as igno? rant negroes rule intelligent white mon, and neither intellect nor wealth has a voice ia the counoils of the State. A SENSIBLE "CHARITY."-The last slave in New Jersey, a colored woman, called "Charity," died last Sunday in the ninety-fifth year of her age. She did not wish to become a free woman when the opportunity was given to all her race to acquire liberty. Charity preferred to have somebody, better able thau herself, to supply her wants, and hugged the chains that guaranteed her food and clothing in all contingencies. THE REPOBT OF THE SAN DOMINGO COMMISSIONERS-A Synopsis.-A de? spatch from Key West to the New York Herald, referring to the arrival of the Tennessee, with the San Domingo Com? missioners on board, says: Commissioner Wade finished his re? port on Saturday last, and submitted it t l his brother commissioners on the fol? lowing morning. It begins by detailing the work of the commission, and goos on to describe the political condition of the country. Mr. Wade takes tho ground that Baez is the defacto President of the republic, and that he is in full and peaceful possession of tho government; that C ibral is a mere bandit, living in a mo mtain district, where ho is sustained by Hayti. The pooplo of St. Domingo, Mr. Wade says, aro overwhelmingly in favor of annexation. They aro described as a quiet, orderly, industrious raco. Tho chargos of corruption against United States officers in tho negotiation of the treaty of 18G9 aro branded as vil? lainous slanders, without a shadow of foundation. The report, which is favor? able to annexation in every particular, closes with tho remark, that "to ombraco this opportunity to plant our republican institutions and establish civil liberty and American civilization upon that beautiful and productivo island, thus laying tho ground-work of a great, freo and prosperous Stale, would add another er to the achievements of our republic, worthy to rauk with tho great events bf our history, and would bo equally bene? ficial to tho people ol both countrios. Dr. Howe endorses Mr. Wade's report iu every essential particular. At tho va? rious meetings which havebeon held du? ring the last forty-eight hours tho sub? ject bas boen thoroughly discussed. Mr. White objects to tho closing paragraph of tho report; but Mr. Wadu is firm in his determination that it shall not bo stricken out, and Dr. Howe fully agrees with him and will sign it. Mr. Whito is writing KO in o ideas of his own, princi? pally historical, which ho wishes to in? sert in tho report, and which if inserted will not materially alter it. Tho proba? bilities aro that Whito will finally agree to tho latter clause, and that tho report will bo unanimous. Tho report as it stands now" is about four columns in length. A gentleman of experience has dis? covered ono good th?113 in sea voyngiug. Ho says: "You can get as tight as you please every day, and everybody will think you ari? ouly fica sick." RUSSIA ABO PEUSSI A . -The > Osar ? of Russia aalutes the Emperor of Germany on his return to Berlin. Tho secret treaty has done its work. It now re? mains to he seen whether the spoils oan be divided in a satisfactory manner. Russia wants power in the South of Europe, and will have it, now that France is ont of the field as an antago? nist. A secret treaty with Prussia hum? bled France. The same arrangement with Austria and Italy may lower the proud crest of the Hohenzollerns. EXTENSIVE RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION. -Among the old bills re-introduced in the new Congress is one looking to tho consolidation of a number of railroads by incorporating branches of tho Texas Pacific railway under the name of the Norlb Carolina Extension Railway Com? pany. The oompnnie8 to bo consolidated aro the Eastorn and Western divisions of the Western North Carolina Railroad ; the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruther? ford Road; and tho Spartauburg and Union Railroad, of South Carolina; the pnrposo being to establish a continuous railway communication from Newborn, Wilmington and Charleston, via Ashe? ville, N. C., and Ducktown, Tenn., to Cleaveland, Tenn,; or Dalton, Ga., and to San Diego, California. REMOVAL OF DISAUDLITIES AS A REME? DY-RBMAHES OF SENATOR SAWYER.-In the proceedings of Congress, the follow? ing report of Mr. Sawyer's remarks oc ours: "Without further debate, Mr. Sawyer then took the floor, and moved as an amendment to the ponding resolution to inolude the consideration at the present session of the general amnesty bill lately reported from tho Committee on Disabi? lities. _ He argued that the passage of this bill would do much to restore har? mony and contentment in the South. He regretted that tho enfranchisement of the negroes in the reconstruction laws had not been accompanied by general amnesty to the white people. The influ? ence of this policy, he believed, would be powerfully felt in removing bitterness and conciliating and harmonizing all tho people. Muoh had been said here and elsewhere as to the inclination of tho Southern people to enter into another rebellion, but be would assure Senators there was not one word of truth in such representations. The remembrance of their maimed sons, desolated hearth? stones and devastated fields, precluded the possibility of their ever again enter? taining the idea of a rebellion for a mo? ment. He did not think the disturb? ances in the South originated from hos? tility to the General Government, but that they were inspired by disaffection to the local governments. The reason for this was that the men most fitted by education and position to take part in the affairs of the State were excluded from all participation therein. Owing to this cause, meu of an inferior moral and intellectual stamp had been elevated to public position. If it was true that the colored members in the Southern Legislatures did occasionally give way to inducements to vote in a particular way for a consideration, they should not be too harshly condemned. Their former helpless iguorance should not be forgot? ten, nor tho faot that the more intelli? gent and experienced legislators of the Northern States were not free from simi? lar charges. But sound policy impera? tively dictated that all public places should be thrown open to all citizens alike, and all political disabilities and discriminating legislation wiped from the statute book. With respect to the Ku Klux organization!!, which, he said, were dominant in some of the Counties of the Carolinas, Mr. Sawyer urged that the most complete and thorough measures be instantly adopted to repress their lawless deeds. But the remedial legislation must not bo drawn by a tyro, but should be wiso, salutary and efficient." --?> ?. The New York World, commenting upon Gov. Perry's recent letter, says, "WIIKKE THE BLAME BELONGS.-The .statements made from time to time in these columns of tho causes of tho dis? turbances occurring in some parts of tho South, aud moro particularly in South Carolina, are boroo out by tho letter we republish herewith, writteu by ono who has hitherto been regarded ns among the calmcat and most practical of the South Carolina statesmen. Governor Perry was ono of tho few public men in that State who vigorously opposed se? cession, his Union rocord was unim? peachable, and it was into his bauds that tho United States Government placed tho control of tho Stato tho in? stant tho war was over. When such a man arraigas tho policy of Governor Scott and tho radicals in South Caroli? na, it cannot bo urged that this is an? other effort of the ex-Confederates to confuse tho subject aud shift the blame of tho recent troubles from their own shoulders to thoso of their political op? ponents. Governor Perry's letter sets forth tho true condition of the State, plundered by Northern adventurers and raided over by an ignorant ;;ud insolent negro militia. If tho good people in this part of tho Union, who think But? ler's Ku Klux legislation for the South is necessary, will imagino a Oovernor of New York or Massachusetts arming the savuges in their midst and refusing arms to all who possess a spark of intelligence or a dollar's worth of property, and tho consequences that arc likely to flow from such a discrimination, they may, per? haps, reulizo how much they have mis? judged tho facts in the case. Undera similar condition of affairs here we wonld bo very likely to feel, with Governor Perry, that ..there is a point beyond which hum m endurance cnn not go, let the consequences be what they may." . "THE STATES LATEX* IN INSURREC? TION."-How looff1 do the radicals cf Congress intend to uso thia form of ex? pression regarding ibo South? How many years must pass. ft way before the "insurrection" is to be considered as not a recont ono, or to be used for exoiting the passions of the Northern people? The Pagan wcrld sought to bury every vestige of civil ?trife away Cut of re? membrance, but Americ. .? Christians of the nineteenth century regard it as o pa? triotic duty to keep alive the memories of intestine strife, and, if possible, shut the door forever against reconciliation. The radical leaders have made war upou every decent and humano principle of civilized mankind, and wo rejoice that there are sigus of a speedy retribution that shall overwhelm theso architects of disoord and banish them from public view forever. < ? ? ? A NEGRO CARPET-BAGGER.-At this late day it would be neither pleasant nor profitable to demonstrate tho acknow? ledged truth, that the Radical Congress? men from the Souther" States represent neither the intelligence nor the wealth of their respective districts. It is, how? ever, a ourious circumstance that "a ne? gro carpet-bagger," true to the instincts of his class, should seize the very first opportunity of proving himself a wholly unworthy spokesman of even his own peculiar people. South Carolina has a liberal Constitu? tion. No man is disfranchised. Wudo Hampton is as free to voto as one of his old negroes. There is, moreover, no disqualification for office except that im? posed by the Constitution of the United States. We may add that tho temper of tho South Carolina colored people, who have a voting majority of 30,000, is tho? roughly in favor of the enfranchisement of every "rebel" in the country. Three of the Congressmen from South Carolina aro colored men. H. B. Elliott, the member from the Third District, is, to use a common expression, "as black as the ace of spades." A squat negro, with some brains and abundant impu? dence, he made himself a thorn in tho side of every decent man in tho Palmetto State. This pretty Congressman, whoso personal character and reputation are rotten to the core; who never set his foot on Southern soil until after tho war; who has mado a fortuno by gulling tho men of his own race; who could not be re-elected to-day if there wero a new elec? tion in his district; this negro carpet? bagger votes squarely against Mr. Beck's bill for the removal of tho political disabilities imposed by tho fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of tho United States. But among those who voted for Mr. Beck's bill, we find R. C. DeLargo, tho membor from tho Second South Carolina District. Mr. DeLargo is also a negro, but a nativo of Charleston, South Caro? lina. Ho was a member of tho Recon? struction Committee of 18GS, and sorved in the State Legislature, with consider? able ability, as Chairman of tho Com? mittee of Ways and Means. Always acute and intelligent, DeLarge held his own with the colored people, and by his liberality of sentimont and comparativo honesty, secured the good will of tho white people of tho State. His District has an overwhelming negro majority; ho has tho entire approval and full confi? dence of the South Carolina blacks, and he voted squarely for tho removal of all the disabilities imposed by tho Federal Constitution upon tho respectable men of the South. In this, wo undertake to say, Mr. DeLarge expressed correctly tho sentiments of his constituents and tho wishes of the Southern people. Mr. DeLarge, a nativo South Caroli? nian, takes a manly stand on tho side of amnesty. Elliott, an adventurous Northern negro, is the firm friend of proscription. This tells tho whole story. A carpet-bagger is always a carpet-bag? ger, whatever tho color of his skin. And when the issuo is fairly made between the native and tho prowling politician, the South will know whero and whom to choose.-New York News. The State University has reached the j number of fifty-four students, ns I learn from a professor there-a larger attend ance than heretofore, for sumo years, j Professor Hart, elected last year to the chair of "Natural und Mechanical Phi- i lo ophy and Astrouomy," has boon re- ! cently transferred to the chair of "Math- : ematics and Civil nud Military Eugi- j nearing and Construction.'' Tho chair vacated by Professor Hart, tho ono for ; morly held by Professor John LeConte, I now iu California, has been filled by the I election of the Rev. B. B. Babbitt, an ! Episcopalian minister of Now York. Pro- j lessor Babbitt arrived with his family I last Saturday, and is entering upon his 1 duties. - Correspondent Charleston News.% THE SOUTHERN PRESS AND SOUTHERN OUTRAGES.-Tho Southorn press exhibit a good deal of feeling upon tho ponding action of Congress in regard to tho al? leged outrages in tho Southorn States. What tho Southern press should do un? der tho circumstances is to invito and encourage investigation. Tho South un? doubtedly has a good rejoinder to mako to radical declarations. Moreover, tho Southern people havo a right to a fair opportunity to explain their grievances, and tho Government is bound to give them a full and careful hearing. [New York Herald. WHAT A CHANUK.-Tho correspondent of tho New York World writes from j Washington: "The chango that husconio over tho House by tho feuds of tho j Republicans and the New Hampshire eloclion can hardly bo realized. Not I only is tho two third? majority swept j away, but it is hurd to san which parta is now running the House of Representatives. j Tho Democrats so far have ns much to say about it as the Radicals." i.1 . gsesgggg t t ?g TmBViHa TAX ;tk>iiMwroR POISONED BT HIS WlEK.-Tfeo tax collector of 'St. Clair County, after having collected the tax of? that County, . entrusted the ?ame to the caro of his wife, and with the re? mark that he would be necessarily absent for o day or two, left her in possession of the treasure. That night a party of dis? guised men visited the woman and de? manded the money. On her] refasal to give it up, the ruffians searched the premises and possessed themselves of it. They thon compelled her to get them some supper, which she did. Sho poi? soned the coffee and killed nil three of them; and when their disguises were torn off, one of the party was revested as her husband, who had taken the method stated of robbing the County. Jacksonville Republican. In Macon, Ga., on Monday morning, Mr. Charles S. Baudot, a well known and popular watch maker and silversmith, of that city, shot himself through tho head with a medium Bize Colt's revolver, from thc e?ects of which ho must have expired instantly-the ball enteriug tho upper edge of tho right templo and ranging back through the brain. From notes left to friends, it is ovident that the rash act had been deliberately contemplated and executed. A Memphis gentlomnn arrived in St. Joseph, Mo., several days ngo, who seems to have been theviotim of adverse circumstances. He was robbed of a con? siderable sum of money on tho steam? boat betwoen Memphis and Cairo; got into a "free fight" on tho cars; and, on attempting to visit his intended, whore sides near St. Joseph, had nearly all his clothing taken off by a moderate sized bull-dog. Ho wascoufiued to his bed by indisposition tho following day. The New York irorWsoys: It lins just been discovered by tho internal revenue men iu the South, that they cannot per? form their duties in a proper manner, the people there aro so very violent. lu this way these shrewd officials pocket the money they have collected, and are sccurod from any fear of punishment through the favor of Mr. Grant. He is "putting up" another rebellion and wants 'em for proof. CONSOLING.-Ex-Governor Harriman, of New Hampshire, writes a letter to Senator Morton, explanatory of tho recent defeat of the Radicals in that State, the bnrthen of which is that the acknowledged Republioan leaders either openly joined tho Democrats or "through indifference fanned the result." We presumo that is pretty near the fact, and those Republican leaders proved them? selves both wiso and influential. Ono of the London papers has an amended version of tho rumored secret treaty between Russia and Prussia. As part of tho conditions, according to this story, Russia was to have intervened if France had been successful, to invade Austria if she demonstrated against Prussia, and in case of a general Eu? ropean war, tho two nations to combine. Sheridan is of the opinion, they say, that tho Franco-Prussian war was a failure on both sides-that if the Prus? sians at the start had adopted his cele? brated tactics and discarded tho sword and the bayonet for the torch and tho small-pox, they might, without getting hurt themselves, have conquered the French at one-half the expense they have iucurred. A linguist of Warsaw, in Poland, named Prescensky, has just completed a polyglot dictionary in twonty-threo dif? ferent languages, upon which he had been engaged for over seventeen year?. It is believed that the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg will publish tho work nt its expense. A sad story is told of a Radical Con? gressman, new to tho ways of tho Houso, who mistook the meaning of the clapp? ing for pages which always follows the chaplain's opening prayer. "Well, that beats me," said ho; I don't see anything in that prayer worth cheering." RAID ox NEW YORK KENO SALOONS.
