Removal of Political DUnulltttea.
From the reports made io the Congres'
sional Globe, we observe that both the
South Carolina members of the United
States Senate-Mesara. Sawyer and
Robertson-made strong and earnest
appeals in behalf of a further removal
of those political disabilities which
attach to many of our citizens. It iii
true that the bill tbnt they advocate does
not provide for completo nmnef.ty-mak?
ing, us it does, oertain exceptions-but as
we understand Messrs. Sawyer and
Robertson, they odvocate this pnrtiul
mensure of relief ns tho best to be dono
in view of tho sentiments of a majority
of their ooll<agues. This is also the po?
sition of Mr. Beck, the Democratic mem?
ber of the Houee from Kentucky.
Whilst wo cannot assent to the spirit
of some of the arguments that Messrs.
Sawyer and Robertson employ in the
course of their reported remarks, yet we
aro free to say that their efforts in this di?
rection are entitled to recoguitiou on the
part of every citizeu who desires to seo thc
country harmonious and proper govern?
mental principles prevail. "Amnesty
and enfranchisement for the South" bas,
in faot, come Very generally to be the
policy of conservative Republicans. The
movement, lately inaugurated in Obio, to
put tho Republican party on n new de?
parture, 80ggeste the following as live
issues, Viz:' Universal Amnesty, Free
Trade, Civil Service Reform and Hard
Money, The manifesto issued to tho
public by the movers make this as their
first point-that the further continuance
of the policy of disfranchisement is in?
compatible with a proper regard for the
fundamental principles of republican
government and sound statesmanship.
The movers say further, that whilst they
intend to "maintain the great results of
the war," "we insist that its enmities and
resentments shall be buried, that all remain?
ing causes of irritation shall be removed,
and thatall political disabilities imposed for
participation in the rebellion shall be abo
lished.*' This declaration on tho part of
the liberal Republicans of Ohio, engaged
in the new movement, will be appreciated
by the Southern people interested.
They earnestly desire, we believo, to
nnite with good'men all over this broad
land in the effort to establish peace and
prosperity, aad to devote their energies
to tho work of development moral, ma?
terial and mental.
Hon. C. O. Blemmlnucr to Gov. Scott.
Under date of March 24, Mr. Mem
minger addresses a letter to Gov. Scott,
giving his suggestions of the remedy for
existing evils. As to the canse of the
combinations which havo exhibited
themselves in the upper Couuties of the
State, Mr. Memminger remarks:
"There oan bo no difficulty in ascer?
taining tho oause of these combinations.
It is undoubtedly the conviction that the
existing government of the Statu is ut?
terly corrupt; and that it has failed in
all the duties which are required at its
bauds; that thero is uo adequate securi?
ty or life or property, aud that the taxes
laid by the Legislature mus? eventuate
iu virtual confiscation of tho entire in?
come of the citizens."
He then proceeds to consider whether
this conviction is well founded. He
then suggests that there should be a
change in tho constituency which elects
tho Legislature. He says:
"A moro intelligent body of voters,
aud oue directly responsible to pay tho
taxes which are imposed by their repre?
sentativos, would speedily provide a
remedy. Under their auspices, an intel?
ligent and virtuous Legislature would
nguiu make its appearance, and the laws
of the land and the public officers ap?
pointed to administer them, would nguiu
command public confidence, and ensure
the pence aud tranquility of the State.
"All this can be obtained by simply
following tho lead of that State which
our present rulers would regard as tho
fountain of political wisdom, and amend?
ing our constitution so ns to conform the
qualifications of voters to that required
in Massachusetts. Let the voters be
only such ns can read and havo paid
soiuo tax for tho support of tho Govern?
ment, and the representatives will at
onco chaugo their character. Such a
qualification in tho voters would discri?
minate only against ignorance, nnd
would place it in the power of every man
to take part in tho Government, what?
ever may bo his ruco or color."
Whilst Mr. M. appreciates tho difficul?
ties connected with carrying out his
programme, he holds that these difficul?
ties aro not insuperable. In conclusion,
ho gives his persuasion that no other ,
peaceful remedy can be made available, j
and ho ur.feshis-plan upon (ho Governor
and nil thOHC who seek the permanent
poaco and welfare of the State. As a
citizen develad to South Carolina, Mr.
Memminger will find his views duly con?
sidered. Folly impressed, as wc are,
with tho great importance of Securing I
relief without violence, from existing
evils, we com mond to general considera- j
lion ail such remedies as may elie ct this >
end.
The State-Bad Management and the
Resalta.
S i nco Uie ci?se of the war, oar State
has not been in a position so critical as
the present. It would be well ?? ev'ery
citizen would take a oool, olear and oom
prehensivo view of our political status,
and look matters ns they really are
squarely in the face. Every man, who
has any hope for tho future of South
Garoliua, should meet calmly and fear?
lessly the duties and responsibilities of
the present hour.
There aro two powers or parties which
now divide the State and shake it to the
very ceutre. One is the extreme wiug
of the Radical party, represented by
Crews and his mutch box confederates.
By some thoy are culled house burners.
Thc other power that is now felt in cer?
tain quarters is what Jtfdge Munro styles
"that mysterious baud of lawless men."
Thoso two powers now confront each
other. One or tho otbor must eventually
po uuder, for they will Dever affiliate.
You might as well try to mix oil and
water, as to harmonizo these two politi?
cal powers. Just behold them as they
really stand to-day.
People have laughed at the represen-,
tut i ve men of the Ridicul party; they
have laughed nt their color, their igno?
rance, their total and absolute un?ltuess
for public office; they have been styled
the "menagerie," "the nigger show,"
"the perfumo shop," uud in ali this ridi?
culo the people have lost sight of the
fuct that this ts an actual, law-making,
controlling power of Ibo State. They
thought the Legislature was a good thing
to luugh at, and very good to draw six
dollars per day. But these men have
made laws, they have increased the pub?
lic debt, they have doubled the tax, they
have bought railroads, they have arrayed
the negro race against the whites, they
have distributed urms aud ammunition,
they have openly sold their votes in tho
Legislature, they have failed to recog
nizo anything like honesty in their pub
lio proceediugs, they have dono every?
thing which cunuitig could devise or
bribery effect. We do not affirm this of
every Republican of the State, but it ap?
plies especially to the mutch box wiug
of the party, lcd by Crews and others ol
his kind. Thus that power stands to?
day. They care not for the State so they
put mouey in their purses; they care not
for the country negro so he votes for
them once every two years.
But, arrayed against this party, comes
"that mysterious band of lawless men."
About the first of last October, they ap?
peared, in the Eastern part of Spartau
burg County. They did some work iu
that section. They talked but little.
When they went out on ouo of their law?
less raids, silenoe seemed to be a stand?
ing order. Tho bund increased, or
became more disseminated. Soon, they
rode into Union County. They brought
death in their train. They came to
Uuion again and again, and now Union
is under their coutrol. They next as?
sailed York, and York yields to their
power. And the wave, though small at
first, is increasing, lt is rolling South?
ward. Barriers may bo in the way; but,
wheu it does break over, terrible will be
its fury. What this power eau be aim?
ing at, we cun judge only from results,
souio of which arc these: they bave
killed men, white as well as black; they
have made charges on some of the pub?
lic offices; they order incompetent meu
to resign; they never steal money nor
other property; they never insult womcu
nor frighten children. But they are a
silent baud. Their plan -? are unknown
their ultimate objects not mentioned.
Thus these two powers stand arrayed
against each other; each strong io its
way; each fully beut on the accomplish
meut of certain objects aud Schemen.
Lit the lina conservative meu of all
political parties think over these mutters
earnestly; lot them, in their wisdom,
deviso sumo plan to save us from the
shameful aud disgraceful conduct of our
legislators, and from the lawless doings
of the other party. So long as the tirot
is in powor, the other is inevitable.

A brutal atttuck, which the Charleston

Tho offenders were a company of negro
militia, armed to tho teeth with im?

expect, wheu the armed militiamen, at

Rcalitunco to Taxation. '
GRBENYTXiLE, March 24.
Mit. EDITOR: The question of taxation,
always fin important ono, bas now as?
sumed, to oar people, unusual impor?
tance. I hare received reliable Informa?
tion, from' a majority of tho Counties is
tho State, that not more than two-thirds
of the land owners have paid their tax,
and in some Counties nearly one-half
have not paid their tax, and, io almost
every instance, it has resulted from the
inability of the owners of proporty to
pay. How can the people live, and pny
their taxes, when, in very many cases, it
takes one-half their income to pay their
tox? The averago tax lovied in tho
several Counties is ubout twelve dollars
on the thousand dollars, assessed value,
of jour entire property, productive und
non-productive. Now, wo all know that
our people do not realize more thnn
seven per cent, upon the assessed value
of their property, and a majority do not
realize that much. Tho render will thus
perceive, at a glance, that, if he roulizes
only seventy dollars from his thousand
dollars' worth of property, uud pays to
the County Treasurer twelve dollars of
that seventy, then he pays, less a fraction,
che sixth part of his income for tuxes 1
Now, whenever a person realizes less
than seven percent, from their property,
then, of course, it takes probably half
tho income to pay tux. Now, we all
know that if it takes OUR-fourth or one
?fth of a man's income to pay his tax. he
cannot continue long to do any business.
Now, there is only one remedy for this
grievous wrong, nnd that is a firm resolve
on the part of tho people not to pay the
next tux; and, for tho purpose of secur?
ing unanimity and ooucert of action, let
several of tho leading Citizens of the
?State present a respectful remoustrance
to the Governor, and then, if ho cannot
or will not ufford us relief, then, tho next
best thing tor us to do, let theso sume
gentlemen cull a couveution, to meet at
Columbia, and to he composed of influ?
ential citizens from the several Couuties,
who shall unite tito people npou some
menus of relief. Now, in my hinuhlo
opinion, the best thing wo eau do. if
remonstrance fails, is for tho people to
noauimously refuse to pay tho next tax.
This is n peaceable remedy, for we thus
do not make any resistanco to tho luw,
but simply foil to pay our tux. The
citizen thus places tko necessity of action
upon tho State, and, if eveu a good
majority of her citizens do uot pay their
tux, I uudertakc to say that she cannot
collect the tux. I hopo that you nil]
agitate this question. M.

SUPPRESS THE NoRTKttitN Ku KLUX
AND TnEnii WILL CE NONE SOUTH.-The
Biltimoro Gazelle makes thie point to tho
Congressional outrage committees:
"Wh*u Radical committees at Wash?
ington uro hohliug a sort of Vtthm Ge?
richt over certain districts of tho South,
where the people aro compelled, in self
defence, to resort to personal protection
against the attucks of lawless brutes,
who aro hounded on hy Acts of Con?
gress to deeds of violence und outrage,
it does seem a little strange that they do
not occasionally turu their uttentiou to
desperadoes of their own party at home.
Ia thure, for instance, supposing that
there is a Ku Klux organization, any
more vindictive or bloodthirsty black?
guard among its rauks than Mr. Wendell
Phillips? ls there among those who
have been rendered desperate by the
odious tyranny of curpet-bag authority
uud negro supremacy, any one who is so
well worthy tho term of assassin as the
mun who advocates tho 'shooting of hulf
a dozen Southern millionaires at thu
drum henel,' in order to awe subjugated
provinces into submission? In all tho
indignant outbursts that ever have risen
from tho lips of the Southern people, ,
has any ono ever heard of a prayer
heiug lifted up 'to sweep a country with
tho besom of utter destruction, and to
leavo it no ruler but tho sword, uutil
every now living white mau is in his
gruve?' Yet this is tho lauguuge applied
hy Mr. Phillips to what he is pleased to
dignify by tho name of rebuldotu, and
it is just tho ravings of such muliguutit
maniac.-*, and the influences they exert
through the representatives they elect to
Congress, that keep tho South in tho un?
fortunate condition in which it lu."
