! i I ' 1 < ? Friday, Horning. April 7, 1871. ?One' More Richmond la tho Field?*' This is the era of letters in Sooth Caro? lina. Oar.readers will find in this day's issue a letter from York, whioh proposes a remedy for oar ills-the heavy ille whioh Confederate flesh is heir to. The letter will bo read with interest. It ia from aj"son ,of York," anxious to drive away $fchewiller o'? out? ?tfso&ate?V'-i' Tlie St. Domingo Cfcacatlon. From' President Oran t's message on this subject, it is soon that he submits a very reasonable proposition. He re? views his course to date, and now hands the matter over to the publie judgment. He reposts that he has no polioy to enforce, against the will of the publie, and holding that "all men are wiser than any one man," he leaves it to tho people to decide upon the question of the an? nexation of the Bepublio of San Do? mingo. He then administers a blow intended for Messrs. Sumner & Co., and doses the subject. The Oharlo?ton Courier, refering to the obSrgo made, that j the Charleston Chamber of! Commerce and' Board of Trade,-in their late action, were seeking % private ends by public methods, vindi? cates' these bodies from the imputations cast upon them, and insists that their action was prompted by. considerations of high and patriotio statesmanship. We agree with the Courier, that the action of the boards are entitled to great consideration, composed as they are of calm, diBoreet, substantial and honorable citizens/ TKe?f utterancesToro entitled to ^consideration, and will receive it. They have made no political issues. They seek no nnworthy ends. They have suggested the neoessity of action in respect to our fluanoial matters. Some form of notion is surely demanded action not bora of a factious spirit not born of resentment-bnt born of a calm and deli bora to purpose to relieve the State and all its people from serious evils. : n ItV^^^ cou vention of tho tax-payers to consider the proper remedy for our financial disorders, the financial representatives of Charleston have inaugurated a wise movement. Lei it be followed up with sagacity and pru? dence, and good results will follow. Thc Courier, referring to the Charleston movement, says: "The movement was not for the pur? pose pf 'bearingbonds.' It had no suob insignificant purpose. It was an aot oj statesmanship. * It-was a; solemn und de liberate protest in the interests of righi and of justice against the wrongs whick had been perpetrated. And. that action will yet bo made potent. We need s government under whioh we oan live without robbery, and whioh we eau transmit without disgrace to our pos? terity. And that government we will have. And io this purpose, all honeBl men, of whatever party nanio.'will unite, fer witbont this, there is no future bul that of despair." ft != .??.n- .'.f ;?; ?-?-?-??-? The Spar taub urg Spartan says: . We uro iu favor of some move to bot tor uhr condition, and if a convention o. the people, as proposed by the Ghambei of Commerce, can devise any praotica means of relief, we say let Spartanburf be ? represen ted, and a dey fixed fort meeting in this County to senddelegatei to the State Convention, to be hold a Columbia on the seoond Tuesday in Maj next. i Wo .think it proper that the tux-pay ors of tho State should meet in couveu tion and confer with each other as tax payorP. There is grout dissatisfaction ir the State, arising from the burdens ol taxation which the people have born? thia spring, and whioh are to borepentei again this fall. ? Thu real cause of thii dissatisfaction is not so much on nccoun of tho amount, ns the manner in whicl the taxes are stolen after roaching thi State Treasury. The taxos aro burden some-iu faut, almost intolerable; bu the people would submit to their oollec tion cheerfully and without a word, i they, were necessary to defray the ex penses of a good and booest State Go vernment. We are certain that the peo pie will not willingly pay ono dollar t< snppor^ a gov.eruiueut whioh cares noth fog for their'rights or interests. BADIOAL, OBNSUKB.-The Churleatoi Rep?blictin, referring to' tho bill for fur nishing the State House, tho items o which we have glven? says: ?t "The whole thing shows tho mos shameless/ the most infamous attomptoc use ot tho funds of tbe State. Gov ?oott. righteously,vetoed the appropria tion \ bill covering this business of 'fur moiling;" and, w?iu ?ityluiug liku vigi lance, these outrageous 'itonia' can nove pass.

PmbUe Meetings In Vark. :J^ho^^k?IUa^n^fr^' oo'n tains \r porta of, two public rjap?tlnga ?p^jYo|k v?Hle-one.of the-, ?vhite? and tho ?jjher'pf the blacks. Th't following ^resolutions were a?opf6a~by* tho w^ltoVr'Colonel W. B. W?IBOU, Chairman of the mooting; and Colonel Gad. Jone?, .Chairman of the Committee on Business: Resolved, ? That hi? Excellency the Governor, for Ibo disarming of the mili tiii und r?movarof incompetent officials in this County, and for bia voto of tho appropriation oi* $265,000, has, by thone acts. to tbsk extent, entitled himself- lo public commendation. We cannot better comment on the enormity of that appro? priation than , by adopting the very lan? guage of the veto message, to wit: "I regard the expenditure of tbe money already appropriated, and the sam in? cluded in?:this bill, amounting io tho | aggregate^to 3400,000, oe simply enor? mous for ono session of the Legislature. Ii is beyond all comprehension hom the\ Legislature could legitimately expend one- \ half that amount." Resolved, That the existing negro go? vernment of South Carolina is a reproach to tho civilization of the age; a stain upon the mao hood of an intelligent and gall?n? people, who have so long and so patiently endured and submitted to be ruled by their former slaves. We ure tired bf it, and will exert evory legitimate and, constitutional means to effeot a change. Resolved, That, next to tho character | of our Government, the wasteful expen? diture of the public money, tho alarming I increase of the publie debt, the robbery and pl nuder of the public fonds, demand our most earnest consideration, and ex oito a well-founded fear of an indefinite extension of our taxes. Resolved, That a chief objeot in hold? ing this meeting was to urge tho people of the County to bo quiet, and, by all means, to precerve the peaco of the State. Wo earnestly express the hope that peaceful rotations between the races may be re-established; that there will be no farther violenoe, and we respectfully invoke all law-abiding men to co-operate with us in the attaiument of these ends. We know not the remedy for the troubles that are npon ns, but know that violence is not that remedy. To those especially who have engaged in acts of violenoe we earnestly raise a warning voice, and assure them that force, if persisted in, will be suppressed by the power of the Federal Government. Resolved, That the resolution adopted by the colored race, at their recent meet? ing, indicates such a spirit as oommendB them to our confidence, and that we will uso oar best efforts to seenre to them protection of life, liberty and property, and the enjoyment of all their rights. Resolved, That we approve the call of the Chamber of Commerce, of Charles? ton, for a convention of the State, to meet in Columbia on the second Tues? day in May; and that the Chairman ap? point two delegates and two alternates to attend.the same. At a meeting of the colored citizens, Charles -Beasier, colored, waa mude Chairman, and J. B. Brattan requested to act as Secretary. The meeting was addressed ty Nelson Davis, colored, and by General E. M. Law-the former op? posing the resolution proposed, and the latter advising its adoption. Tho fol? lowing is tho r?solution, adopted unani? mously: . Resolved, That we, the colored people this County, earnestly desiring tho res? toration of peace and harmony through? out the country, and the perpetuation of kind feelings and true friendship among all alasses-both white and blaok-do hereby request the members of the Le? gislature-our immediate representatives -the Probate Judge, the School Com? missioner and the Connty Commis? sioner, to resign their respective offices, believing that Buck action, and such only, on their part, will secure and place the object of our desires on a last? ing basis. At the white meeting, tho following resolutions wero also adopted: Resolved, That we, property-holders and tax-payers of tho Stale, residing in the County of York, do hereby deem it our duty to declare that the bonds here? tofore issued without legal sanction, and tho so-called sterling loan, or any other bondB or obligations hereafter issued, purporting tobe under, and by virtue of, the authority . of tho present State Go? vernment, will not be held binding on us, and that we shall, in every muuuer and at all times, resist tho payment thereof, or the enforcement of any tux to pay the some, by all legitimate consti? tutional means within our power. Resolved, That wo deem it our duty to warn ull persons not to receive, by way of purchase, loan or otherwise, any bond or obligation hereafter issued, purport? ing to biud the property, or pledge the credit of tho State; and that nil suuh bonds or obligations will ho hold by us to be null und void, as having bouu issued in derogation of the rights bf that portion of the people of this State upou whom tho public burdons are made to rest.

Excsliehcy#r :J5?tyUa?d Meaarii jgf "i)sTr. -C&rW? andf ^|^^amli^^[^| 'j Oji^rrUBuaJ: It is woll known to you ?ha Uh ore exists an intenso fooling bf dh> 00Dtent with that class of the people of ihi*' Btate who formerly, composed. ita citizenship; nnd it is poihaps equally well known that this diswnten^i?'li can be designated by so mild a term-has been awakened by the, alleged corrupt practices of State otilo fal s and the dan? gerous and reckless exercise of the power of taxation and' appropriation. It is also a well known fact, to each of you, that the class just alluded to pays more than ninoteen-tweutietha of the taxes to mpporfc the State government, and has no voice whatever io the law-making, taxing and disbursing power. On the contrary, the remaining ouo-tweutioth of taxes is paid by the new class of oitizens who compose the government of the State, levy and appropriate its money and make the laws for all. It is alleged that this class is ignorant and corrupt, and thereby totally unfitted to wield the immense and dangerous powers confer? red. This oondition of things, together with recent practical examples tending to con? firm their opinions as to the dangerous character of the power wielded over them, bas aroused among tho disfran? chised tax-payers a well fouuded indig? nation, and un angry distrust of the State government. Out of this fooling has grown violence and discord; and, speaking as one of this latter class, I foci persuaded that anless cautious remodies are applied, thia violonee and discord will assume proportions fraught with more danger to the welfuro of tho State than the recent disturbances in soma of the upper Counties produced. You mustoindidly admit thut tho com? plaints of the tax-payers are just; that gross outrages have been practiced upon them in the levying and disbursing of the public moneys, and in the bribery and corruption of the law-making power generally. Your party admit this much through its chosen organs, and I address you aH recognized leaders of your parly the Republican-under which name the class in oontrol of the Stato government places itself. Admitting so muoh to be true, do you further admit that some? thing ought to be doue to remedy the evil, and thereby allay the discoutent? I have heard that each of you gentlemen have expressed yourselves to this effect, and I therefore feel less hesitancy in in? truding upon yon n suggestion in the way of that remedy. It is this: . Let your party, at the earliest practi? cable period, call a convention of dele? gates elected by the peoplo of the State, Ask that convention to amend the State Constitution, so as to require a reasonabh properly and educational qualification foi electors for State Senators. The effeci would be to. placo the Senate under th? oontrol of the tax-payers. This woalc not bo, necessarily, in the interests'o party, but would be a discreet conserva tivo body, so far UH the nuances are con cerned, that would have its veto powei over extravagant levies or appropria tions. It might be eleotcd in the iute rests of party-might be Democrats even-but, oven with such a result oer tain, I cnn hardly suppose, if the reforn should recommend itself to.your mind a: just, you would make this a reason IQ refusing to give it your support. But it need not, nor do I beliovo i would, result in placing tho Senate ii the hands of any political party. Th' people of my section of tho State, at thi time, feel little or uo interest in th party names by whioh persons arc rccog uized; but they do sorutiuizo, will almost uuerring certainty, the charade and fitness of individuals for tho office they hold under party auspices. Bul should this proposed amendment operat iu such a way as to tuko from your part, ils predomiuanco in tho State Senate you have loft the other two branches c tho Government-the Executive and th lower house-with minorities on join ballot, with power enough to scoure th emoluments to which parties in powe always chum a title, but not enough t force, over thu heads of tho tax-paycre any unjust or obnoxious measures ufiecl iug tho finances of tho State. This proposition may seem to you t require u great concession ut tho bund of your party. My own conviction i that the concession, if made, would plac your party on a higher platform of prit eiple than it has over occupied in Soul Carolina. lean frankly say that respoiu iug tn this appeal, to give a cortai ostracised class of persons, without whos aid neither ot you would have thought worth while to hold ofiieo iu tho Stuto, voice iu the financial operations of tl Government, would evince a spirit ina{ uanimotis ouough to ruiao tho party 1 whioh you belong high iu the estim?t iu of this class of thu people. Tho question may bo usked, would tl remedy meet tho emergency? I cn uuswer as for myself and my daily nasi ciatos in oue of tho rebellious Countia only, and cati say frankly that if udoptc speedily, tho measure would givo onti: und approving satisfaction. If y( should think it worth while to placo sue a proposition ns this before your part, I have no doubt tho sense of tho poop of the entire Statu would bo called 01 fully euough for your minds to form co i cot conclusions as to tho utility o' il remedy, before any aotion upon it cou be had. It might cot go far enough meet .tho views of extreme men in tl rauks of the opposition, and perhaps d munda more than extreme men in yoi party would willingly concede. B without a mutual concession of som thing of our special preferences we cr never agree upon any remedy likely produce that tranquillity ao necessary tho Stato. And, lastly, is a rc, .ody neccssar. Ia all candor.1 can reply that I am surely oonviooed that without somo sui reform, coming from tho hands of yo party-tho only power adequate to aflfo iV^J^reatralnts of tho tawH^ bec?m;e BO loosened, and^?en^behevjng the'r property ?nd jM**f 1 ^dangered, tf?ougb the option of yon* govern snent, ?ill become e-ojreoklese, that neUfier fif?Mw'Property^iu?<% much laftger be of much'value in this: State. .'.<.. .Sx. k 1 believe farther that, as a measure of party policy, yon might find this sug? gestion worthy of consideration. -There is too-much popular indignation against yon at this time for the people of the State ever to permit you to hold 'the reins of absolute power over thom again,. if . there, bo any virtue in a determination td prevent it by all the legitimate means at their command. I use the word legiti? mate in that qualified sonso it is supposed to have acquired at the last general elec? tion in this State. Available means would perhaps better express their exact intention. The writer of this has no vor b eon en? gaged in tho politics of the State-has never held an office-is not disqualified by the fourteenth amendment-but shrinking from n public notoriety, and intruding those views upon you from a conscientious conviction that something must be done for the State for whose laws peace, prosperity and welfare your party is alone responsible, I adopt tho only course likely to place them before tbo scrutinizing eye o? the public. Should you desire to know the name ot the writer, the publisher of this arti tiole is authorized to furnish it to each or either of the persons to whom it is ad? dressed. YoRKvinnE, S. C., April 5, 1871. CONGRESSIONAL DEI?ATE.-Wo make tho following extract from the proceed? ings of the United Staten Senate. Sena? tor Blair, on the floor, in tho course of his speech, BU id : He (Mr. Blair) proposed now to give some extracts from Badicul papers of South Carolina. Mr. Blair then quoted (rom various Bepublican papers of South Carolina, severely commenting upon the venality oi the Legislature. He also quoted from the remarks of Gov. Scott, that one of tho greatest curses afflicting South Carolina was tho horde of unscru? pulous adventurers from tho North, com? ing down there for purposes of plunder. Mr. Blair further read au account of the personnel of the South Carolina Legisla? ture. Of that wholo body, but thirteet were white, and of tho remainder, all blacks, but nineteen could read and writ? grammatically. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, admitted OHL the Legislature of South Carolina liai behaved shamefully, but he would ask th Senator what remedy did he propose fo\ it? Did he favor universal amnesty? be cause if he did, he (Sherman) would pro bably agree. Did he propose to take th suffrage from the negroes? because if h did, thal would' be a subject for debate But if tho Senator proposed no remedy he had certainly no right to bring thee matters in hero. . " Mr. Blair said he had' a right td'db it He b?d a right to arraign this body fo striking down the very vital prinoiple a free government, for destroying .loca self-government. Mr. Sawyer, of South Carolina, cor roborated the statement of Mr. Shot man, that every one voted in Soutl Caroiiou, and said thoro wore not ove 2,500 in the State debarred from hold io office by tho fourteenth amendment. Mr. Blair thought tho Senator wn very muah mistaken. He bolieved ther wera a great many moro. Mr. Sawyer said tho position of tb Democratic party in South Carolina wu such that no considerable number woul accept the proffer of office. They wer influenced by thc attitudo of thc Demi cratio party in the North, and the Brou head lotter of tho Senator, to refus office for a sentiment* Mr. Blair-For a principle, Mr. Sawyer-A sentiment. Mr. Blair-A principle. It was a prii ciple; aud he was glad that the Derm cratio party adhered to priuciple, in spit of the loaves and fishes. Ho was glu that tho Democratic party refused 1 share tho plunder with tho carpot-baj gera. Mr. Bluir continued in review < tho condition of other Southern State tho debt of which, he said, had boen t enormously increased under lindie rulo. Ho sa?d that ho knew Gov. Wa mouth, of Louisiana, well; that he wei from Missouri rngged and naked, au without money to pay for his break fu? now ho lived in a palace, and was rollie iu wealth, aud Un (Blair) was informe that ho never signed a bill without price. Tn regard to tho case of Yerge which had boca brought into this discu ?ion by tho Senator from Ohio, (She man,) ho desired to allude to thu uspe of that cuso as yet not touched upoi Ho thou read from a statement of one < tho counsel to provo that tho caso hi boen kept out of the Supremo Court b causo of tho fear that tho reconstructie Acts, under authority of which Yerg waa committed, would bo declared u constitutional. Tho Radicals had th confessed that thoso Acts wero unconsl tutiouul, and yet without thom tin would bo in a minority in both Hons of Congress to-day-and a miuority o? minority. The men who carno in by vi tnt) of theso reconstruction Aots had, caucus, given tho votes which deposi tho man who built np tho Badicul part tho Senator from Massachusetts, (M Sumner.) Without oonoltiding, Mr. Blair ga way, aud tho Senate, nt 4.40 o'cloc went into executive session, and tbeu a journed. DEATH OF MR. BENJAMIN M. LEK.

( PASSOVER.-Wednesday .evening, at .6 o'clock, commenoed the Passover, or Feast Of Unleavened Bread. Its name is from posait, a Hebrew word signifying to leap over or pass by. It is a Hebrew festival, instituted by Moses, iu com? memoration of the Israelites remaining unharmed on the night of the destruc? tion of the first horn of Egypt, immedi? ately preceding the exodus from that country. (Ex. xiii.) Originally it was observed by sacrificing passover lambs toward the ovecing of tho fourteenth of tho first Hebrew spring month, (now Nissa,) and eating them on tho following night, ns well as by excluding all leaven from thu meals of that evening and the following sovon days, the first and last of which was observed as holy. Since tho final destruction of the temple of Jerusalem, the Passover has boen celebrated by eating unleavened bread during the sevou (out of Palestine during eight) days, by abstinence from labor on the first and last, (out of Palestine tho first two and last two,) and by tho observance on tho first eveui?g of various domestic rites, com inomorativo of the deliverance from Egyptian bondage, including tho recital of scriptural and legendary narratives, familiar conversations ou the same na? tional event and the chanting of Psalms. During thu eight days of tho feast they wore only permitted to eat unleaven bread, "because their hasty departure from Egypt obliged them to tako only dough with them before it was leavened;" hence tho Passover is also culled the "Feast of Unleavened Bread." In this connection, wo return our thanks to Messrs. D. C. Peixotto and D. Goodman for a supply of "Passover broad."
