Tho Debt of tho B tate-Act Ion or the Charleston Chamber ot Commerce. Oar readers will observe in another placo the resolutions adopted at a meet lng nf ? charleston Chamber of Oom meroe. A- convention is calle il on the SECOND TUESDAY in MA? NXXT, and each County is invited to send delegates-the mooting to bo held in this city. The convention is to>consider j oar- financial . status. We approve thc calli and tim spirit of the call, and we regard the . movement as a most important one. The Chamber was addressed by Vice President Tapper. Mr. Wm. Bavenol offered tho r?solutions, and Mr. John Hanckel seconded them. The resolu? tions were unanimously adopted. Unfair Representations. The New York Times, whioh of loto has lost much of the impartial spirit that at one. timo oharaoterized its utteranoee ia respect to the South, continues its ? unfair assumptions of the animus of the ; "ex-insurgent" people of the South. Io ? i its issue of Maroh 28, it prints a series of , selections from . the Southern press, the ? object of whioh is to convey the impres- j sion to tho. Northern public that the. "lost coaao" is Bought to bo re-establish- ? ed by "no small number of friends." Tho Times makes this bold assertion: ? "At the South, nothing is regarded as settled by the war; and not ono of its results is accepted." ? Thus is it that the party journals ol tho country sacrifice truth, and justice to make way for party capital.... Thps is it that opposition to local misrule is characterized os another "rebellion." Lotter Drem General J. B. Kershaw. , o Tho Camdon ''Journal, bf March 30th, contains the reply of General Kershaw to tho lottor of Senator Robertson. General Kershaw gires expression to his "earnest desire to secure peace and order and a just and faithful administra? tion of the laws in this ruined and deso? lated .State." He then alludes to the efforts made by himself and friends to secure this end. But he adds: "These concessions and all overtures for peace were eoprrifully rejected by the colored . people and tlieir leaders." i ; General Kershaw next alludes to the corrupt praotioes of the State officials and the arming of the negro militia aa the sonroe of the disorders that have occurred. - . . .. ... Coming, finally, to the invitation ex iended to him to sse his exertions for peace, General Kershaw anuounces hi? disposition to co-operate in "any feasi? ble plan for harmonizing society here." On this'point, he says: "A" class legislation should be repeal? ed. .'Tax-payers ought to be secured a representation in the legislature, ade? quate to their protection. Honest, capa? ble, end. competent men should be placed in office. Accomplish th?se things and this whole people will rise up and call you blessod. Losa than this would leave the same causes at work whioh have pro? duced tho prevailing discord, and there could not bo that security which consti? tutes the essential foundation of sooiety. The white people of South Carolina are now enslaved by their former Blaves. 'Taxation . without ^representation' was the battle gauge accepted by our revolu? tionary aires. Unrepresented and politi? cally disfranchised, we are taxed for Wanton and corrupt purposes beyond all proc?dent, and; without even the. poor privilege'of protest or appeal. Cannot our rulers understand that, sooner or later, even our endurance mu at give way under such a monstrous imposition?" In conclusion, Gen.-Kershaw gives no? tice of a conference to beheld of promi? nent and influential men from each County, tc oonsider tho condition of things and to consult for the publio good. "THE DAX OB EETBIBUTIOH IS NIGH IV With few exceptions, says the Marion Crescent, the people of this State, and the South generally, have submitted so long ?iiu ?? quietly tc thc exactions, oppres ? sions and tyrannies ol the Radical party, and loW-minded ?calla wags, who sold tlieir birth-right for a mess of pottage, that tho intelligent and honest white peoplo and their property were regarded as the lawful prey of these people. It now seems that the peoplo in the up? country are deter mi nedno longer to sub? mit, quietly, to wrong and oppression, but mean to defend themselves at every hazard. This seeming determination, on the part of the people, hos atrioken ' ter? ror into the hearts of their and our rulers and oppressors, and they are trembling in their boots; but the day of retribution is nigh. ,. The Edgeficid Advertiser says: "But the people of Edgefield aro fully determined to pay no more taxes during the year 1871, unless they are foroed to do so by bayonets in the hands of Fede? ral soldiers. We know the sentiment of our people on this infernal tax business, and hope tho Scott ring bummers will not attempt to make any further tax-col leotions in Edgefield daring the present year.". ' ?..

ZbjHisEax?llenoyr Governor it.-- ?v liberty I, $ke in^ddas??g ^!8#on*. letter to yW. J |? "<SeWOD| message $V&o ?fegis^rfe pnp grong recent- o?anltotion ,wi?? yjpui?^ojiticai opponents, tnat you' were^ncolre?y of opinion some ohaoge in the polities of thq State was absolutely necessary to pr?serve the peace and quiet the excite? ment in Bouth Carolina. . But your application to the.President. lor. a mili-, tary force to bo sent hero to crush ont all opposition to tho odious legislation which disgraces the State, has induced me to doubt your sincerity. Let me assure yoqt that this is a step in the wrong direction, if you are Bincerely.deairoua of preserving the.peace and promoting the prosperity and welfare of the country. If your object is to establish a despotism in the State, and force the wealth and intelligence of the people to submission, under the rule of ignorance, oppression and rascality, then your course may soemasafe and-judioiooe -one. It will not prove such, however. t The President has been induced by your application io issue an absurd and most ridiculous proclamation, calling on the peoplo of South Carolina to disperse and return to their homes! This pro? clamation is intended for the North, and Dot for the. South. We all know in 3outh Carolina, that there is no embodi? ment of force here, except your negro militia, and has not been since the war ended. Not an instaneo has occurred, in all of our recent troubles, of any re? sistance to the law or to public o lucers. The gentlemen arrested at Laurens and other places, charged with riotous con? duct and murder, made no resistance, but submitted themselves quietly to the laws of their country, and will ever do so. When your Federal troops arrive here, they will find the country in profound peace-no unlawful assemblies to dis? perse, bat every one engaged at home, in bis daily avocations. These Federal troops cannot keep a watoh throughout the State, over every mid-night incen? diary or assassin. It is impossible for them to guard every barn and gin-house, or prevent seoret retaliation, where they have been destroyed. These offences cannot be prevented by an army, how? ever numerous. They must be sup? pressed by the vigilance and virtue of the citizens, the oivil law and courts of justice. And here permit me to say to Sour Excellency, that the good people of oath Carolina have been greatly out? raged, after prosecuting and convicting notorious felons, to see them pardoned as soon as they reach tho penitentiary, and turned loose on society onoe more, in order to-save, as yon say, their civil rights, the right of voting, giving testi? mony in courts of iustioe and sitting on juries! When guilt goes unpunished, retaliation will follow, and society lapses into a savage state. The condition of South Carolina, is, indeed, a most deplorable one, and calls loudly for the sympathy of the good and virtuous everywhere. Tho government of the State is in the hands of our for? mer slaves, and vile adventurer?, who have come here, from the North, to prey on the vitals of the country, dishonor the State, and return laden with stolen wealth. The intelligence and wealth of the State are powerless, incapable of holding office, and crushed into the dust by ignorance, pauperism and rascality. Taxes are levied on them by those who pay no taxes and own no property. AU the offices of tho State are filled with negroes, scalawags and carpet-baggers. Is it to be expected that a high-toned, brave and honorable people would be quiet under the circumstances, and seo their property destroyed by roguish and ignorant legislation? . Several of our most important rail? roads havo fallen into tho bands of Northern adventurers. By the grossest bribery and corruption, the Legislature have been induced to release the lien of the State on these roads, amounting to millions of dollars, and have issued $4,000,000 of State bonds for the same companies, with the privilege of selling thom at any price and pocketing the money. Again, the Legislature have ordered $6,1.00,000 of State bonds to bo issued, which they call a sterling debt, and whioh are to bo exohanged for tho present bonds of the State. It has been shown that this exohange of bonds, if honestly made, will cost the State over $1,000,000. But this is not all. The fraud and stealage which may be prac? ticed in issuing these sterling bonds, can? not be foreseen or calculated. $100,000 before the war paid the whole expenses of the State Qovernment. This year taxes to the amount of ?i.uuu.uuu have been leviod by the Legislature for the same purpose. And the County Com? missioners will have to levy $1,000,000 moro for County expenses. How ou-n these enormous taxes bo paid? j A poor man in this County had to sell,' the other day, his only milob cow to pay his taxes. Tho tax books aro closed for Greenville County, and more than one-half of the tax-payers have been unable to pay their taxes. One poor mah told me that he formerly paid fifty cents taxes oh his land, and this year he had to pay $10 on the same land. Another tax is called for in November. The last year's crop has beon exhausted in paying tho present taxes, and, until another crop is made, the people aro uttorly unable to pay tho taxes called for in November. The State bonds fraudulently issued to fund tho State Bank bills, which were purchased up by Northern capitalists at ten cents on the dollar, should be repu? diated, and also tho railroad bonds, with tho whole batoh of sterling bonds. Let tho purchasers of these bouda beware of what they aro doing. There is no moral obligation on the part of tho tax-pay or s to redeem bonds'fraudulently issued and stolen;*' , . I would urge ?? tho peoplo of South J JA! II Carolina t? bo quiet, and, hvaU-?ieanB, ?reservo tho peace-of tho Stato. ; Tbo ladical party ia going do^s ??pidlv ?* tho- North,- a^rjiB proven by tho Now Hampshire; election. Any outbreak at tbji? time, in nov o! the Southern States,' would,bo a God-send' to that party, If the Southern ' people ?Ufc.?if?fegAj^f d?ni,.the nextULJre?idont!al election,will result in the dethronement, of Gen. Grant and the election of a Democrat to the Presidential chair.' Then there trill bo hope for. the Bepnblic. Those un? principled adventurers, from tho. North, who havo stirred np bad feeling between the colored and.white race, will flee like oriminals from justice, with tbeir stolon wealth. Tho acalawng traitors to race and country will soon follow, and. tb o negroes will live iu harmony with the whites. But if Gen. Grant can stir np a bloody strife in the South, by sending bis armies here, he stands a chance of re-eleotion, by appealing to the hntred, passion und prejudice of the North and West. This military President says that he sends his army hero to protect the property and lives of loyal oitizonB, when it is a notorious fact tbat all the properly which has been destroyed in South Carolina, nineo the war, (and it has amounted to millions,) belonged to those whom he would stigmatize as "dis? loyal," disfranchised, white Democrats. Every week and every day we hear of house?, barns, gin-houses and stores being destroyed and robbed by tho mid? night incendiary, whoso loyalty Gen. Grant would not dispnte. Hundreds of these "loyal citizens" are now in the penitentiary aud well protected. Some few of them may have boen hnng up by tho neck, by way of retaliation for their incendiarism. Bat Grant's army will prove unable to prevent the crime or the retaliation. B. P. PERKY. Utorgla State Agricultural Society. ATLANTA, GA., March 18, 1871. J. S. Richardson, Sumter, S. C.
