Ko matter how mray offices one of thom may hold, he caa always count upon obtaining. the salary for all, pf theta. Nor do they hesitate at availing themselves of the pi onliest parliamentary trick in order to oeoore.it. . Minister ?chenck has already received a largo sum in the way of outfit aa Minister ito England and another as a membor of the Joint High Commission. Yet ou Friday last advantage was taken $f Mr.; Trumbull's temporary absence from the - Senate hall to rush through a rec?lutiou which he had always opposed under what is called "the Anthony rule," giving Mr. Sohenck the salary of his ministerial office. Common people, in? terested only in the expenditure of pub? lic' money, must he pardoned for looking apon the payment of salary for no com? pensating -services' rendered as plain robbery. , It would appear from the fre? quency of repetition that the old feudal flyetetu of distributing largesse to faith? ful followers had been revived as one of the cardinal principles of the party in -?-??-> ABANDONING THE UNION LEAGUE. The Charleston Republican says in efTeot lhat it long ago carno to the conclusion . that the Union League should be aban? doned, aud though it may have been ' "good in its day i that day ia past. This sentiment is creditable, and entitled to ^consideration, at tho hands of those con? trolling the Union League. But for the existence of this secret political organization, the present corrupt officials would not now be ia power over the dowo-troddon people of South Carolina, and the 'shameless conduct of those officials would thou never have disgraced civilization; and, as a consequence, that other secret organization, yclept the Ea Klux, would not now be in existenoo. By all means, abandon Union Leagues, disband tho militia, ro-organizo the Be jpublio?n party upon a respectable basis, and adhere to & decent, faithful adminis? tration of public affairs, and thero will tie a different state of affairs inaugurated ?t, onco.

BI r. Mem m In ger's Second Letter. Tho ?^rVinneb?ro ?feics, of ^tlio 18th, contains a letter from the Hon. C. G. Mommiuger, wherein ho reviews tbe ob? jections made against bis remedy-which is to call a convention for the purpose of securing a restriction upon suffrage. He thinks this not impracticable. He says: "Will the present voters consent to part with any of their privileges? Cer? tainly not, if it were a mere question of Sarting with them. But it is- already o ifferent question, and will soon be one of vastly increased proportions. The ohoice will have to be made between an? archy, on the one hand, and reformation of the government on the other. Tho ciroumstancoa will bo revived which have heretofore produced radioal changes in governments. Tho social reform bills in England; the self-denying enactments of the French Constituent Assembly, and of Parliament in the great civil war; our own United Stntes Constitution of 1787, aro all historical proofs that such mea? sures have once been udopted und aro now again probably practicable. "And shy should it not bo practica? ble to effect sumo reform now? A con? vention would not be tied down to auy special plan; Every voter who is in fa vur of any kind of reform v/ould vote for a convention; and if wise and good men could ??d their way into snob a body, doubtless some plan would be i adopted which would improve tho cou I dition of things. Many scheme.) would ?doubtless be presented,.and if nothing j moro oould bo effected than tho Illinois plan of allowing a representative mino? rity, much would bi) gained. But I am mach more hopeful than that. I believe that if we would all unite in a vigorous and good tempered effort, we could pro? cure, at the least, a tax-paying qualifica? tion for the voters. Even such a quali? fication could be arranged, so as not to disfranchise present voters. By adopt? ing a scheme similar to that which pre? vails in corporations, and fixing a grade to each vote proportioned to tho tas paid by tho voter-that is to say, allowing an additional vote lor overy'tcn or twenty dollars tax. paid in support of the govern? ment, a very efficient check could be in? troduced. This plan would have the great recommendation of restoring, in some degree, the excellent provision in our late ?Stats Constitution which estab? lished a rate of representation, com? pounded of property and population. "It seems to me that if all parties would : simply un i to at present in pro? moting the call of a convention, a great advance could be made towards a peace? ful solution of our difficulties; and I would suggest to you, as an editor with much influence on both sides, whether it would not bo your best course to set aside all differences and urge that the first step be taken at the next session of the Legislature, and that the question be referred to the voters at the next gen? eral election, whether or no a convention shall be called." CUarlottc, Columbia and Augusta Itu 11 rontt. Mn. EDITOR: We observe by a notice appearing in your paper, that the trans? fer book of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Bailroad is to be closed on the 20th inst.

Hear Holli Silica. Mu. EDITOR: It is rather amusing to an independent render of tho party papers and writer?, to see how much artifice is used, by some of each party, to sustain their respectivo positions as to tho great tax question. AU sides seem to admit that, in genoral, thero is too much corruption in the Government, too much incompetency among many hold? ing office, extravagance and wastefulness in the uso of the public funds, and even bribery and swindling in certain case?. It is now useless to repeat these things over and over again-thoy are conceded. Here is an acknowledged state of things, which present a broad basis for reform, and that speedily. How shall it bo effected? is the paramount inquiry. All the points referred to must enter into the effort of a useful reform. I will con? fine my few suggestive remarks to one point only, not named above, which, to me, is highly important to notice. Look at the army of office-holders and their various assistants in existence now, com? pared to the number formerly necessary to carry on the government! Look at the tempting pay that creates such a notorious hungering and thirsting after office, and that puts into motion such ignoblo means to obtain them I Is it wonderful that such an over-clogged aud over-cogged wheels of government should require a superabundance of oil, to keep it in running order? Will not waste necessarily follow? Here is a field for reform. Cut down tho number to one-half, by one bold strike-it will allow it with safoty. Next, diminish the pay, in many cases, more than half-it will bo safe; it will leave thirst enough to seoure competent men for office. This oourse of procedure would exert an enormous moral influence. If some one who has. leisure and the documents would go to work and make out acorn partitive table on this point, it would prove very interesting and instructive to tho mass of the people. Who will do it? AN INDEPENDENT OBSERVER. Deacon Andrew Leach, who recently died at Searaport, Maine, is claimed to have boon tbe champion church goer, having been in his pew 2,598 out ot 2,600 consecutive Snndays. Absence from town was his excuse for missing the only two Sundays his seat wai vacant iu fifty years. I PBO?Oim?NAIi BBPB?SSKTATIOH.-A correspondent of the Charleston Nates, referring to the suggestions made of tho necessity of restricting suffrage, thinks this impracticable, and remarks: "I admit that tho requirement, of a proerty qualification to enjoy the fran? chise, is the simplest and most direct mode of giving stability to onr State go vornment, confidence to capital, and en? terprise and prosperity to our commerce abroad and at homo. But as Lieut. Qov. Bander asks: 'Will the blacks, the majority in this State, vote to disfran? chise themselves? No. I ask, will tLe Qeneral Government evor repeal the amendment giving them tho frauchiBe? Whoever so thinks follows an ignis faluus.' The D?mocratie party is, it is true, a conservative ono, and does not follow in the wake of political propagan? dists, but its very conservatism makes it so fur progressive as to support this or auy other amendment to the Constitu? tion which hus, nolens volens, been- en? grafted upon and rooted into tho very not-work of our Government ns law. These are my convictions, because, as a party, they favor fixed law and order, as opposed to the rapidly shifting and pro? gressive changes of Badicalism-a politi? cal principle that forms tho very life blood of their party. Again, the idea of simple citizenship giving tho privileges of tho franchise has become so tho? roughly imbued iuto the people of these United States that, despite all State laws, we find, especially ia large cities all over the Union, they vote en masse, owning perhaps but the shirt and pants upon their bodies. It is not, therefore, strange that the blacks of this State will be tenacious of this right. Now, what controls the Northern votes? Capital it is true, but not as 'Laurens' would sug? gest. It is noiseless and unnoticed, and consequently tho moro effectual. Bread and wages make the laborer voto with his employer, the capitalist, all over tho North. That is tho way Northern capi? talists and property-holders North check the vote of the non-property-holders. "This growing tendency to indiscri? minate voting in this country ?B, how? ever, assuming a troublesome nhape to capitalists, and wo find thinking men North casting about for a remedy. Se? nator Buckalow, of Pennsylvania, in a speech some time back, presents a full and clear theory of tho system of cumu? lative voting, which, to my mind, under the tone, temper, spirit and political ed? ucation not only of the blucks of this State, but of tho masses of tho people of the whole country, comes nearer a peaceful solution cf this question of the franchise than any suggestion yet made, "We, the whites of this State, possets the oapital of tho State, but. from its shape and nature cannot handle it the samo as Northern capitalists do theirs, to control the laboring olass, the majori? ty in this, as in every Northern State, except that ours is a black majority. If, I then, this subject is attracting the attec , tion of thinking men and capitalista I North, where capital is plethoric, and the laborers of their own race, how much more important is it, that where ia our State the capital is unwieldy and not merchantable, and tho majority of laborers of a different race, that our thinking men should give tho subject se ri ou s consideration, so as to avoid t lioso inevitable evils that must turn tho ballot into Pandora's box? "The geueral idea ip, that tho minority 'as well os the majority have a represent? ation pro raia, so that, where there is a slight difference in numerical powers of politics, there will be a corresponding slight one in representation of interests. The pamphlet of thc Senator is an able one; presents several practical modes of carrying ont thia system of cumulative voting, and is, to my conception, our only course to sottlo this question of the franchise at this day."
