COLUMBI Ay S. C. Snnday Morning. April 23, 1871. FBBNOH IMMJGBA-NTS.-Tho arrival of over 100 Fronoh soldiora at. New York, "Tc ead ay, looks like the beginning of a -movement towards French immigration which, it is Cb be hopod, will be well -carriud oat. The unsettled oondition of Franco, the disorganized oondition of tho country, ?nd the poverty inevitable After a disastrous war, are all cogent rea? sons why Frenchmen should seek a home in the New World, particularly in the Southern States. Here they will find opportunities for the exeroiso of those talonts whiob, as a people, they are so well known to possess, and, forming * colonies, will become good and useful citizens. .?.No Convention Needed for Securing Minority H,epe?enlatIon." The ground is taken that no conven? tion ia needed to seoure a change in the Ipreeent plan of voting. Wo are by no ?means disposed to insist that a convon 'fion is necessary. The sooner we got minority representation tho better. Let ns reaoh it bj the shortept road. On this point, tho Charleston Na ic s remarks: J'Iu the firHt plaoo, it appears that a -simple Act of the General Assembly is all that is required to give to every voter, nt all popular elections, ns many votes ns there are persons to be elected, which ' {plans allows the minority, by concontrat uqg their vote, to scour o u representation "in the ratio of their numerical strength. The State Constitution requires that all -qualified persons shall have 'an equal right to elect officers,' also, that, in all .elections by the people, 'th? electora ?hall vote by ballot,1 also, that every male citizen, possessing the prescribed -qualifications, 'shall be entitled to vote tier all officers that are now, or hereafter maj be, elected by the people, and upon all questions submitted to the electors at -any -elections.! The whole aim of the Constitution is evident!j to prevent dis? crimination, and to seoure a perfect .oquolity in the exercise of the suffrage. And this equality ia not in anyway im? paired bj the granting to evert/ voter, at 4i&<elections, as manj votes as there are persona to be elected. The same num? ber cd votes is oast bj each voter. In Chis country, for' instance,, in electing members of the House- of Bepresenta tati vea, every elector would .have; eighteen votes. .. White man and black, rich and poor, merchant, and . mechanic, would e tan d -on ' the sarnoff beting. No one per sou would have moro power in voting ?han was enjoyed by any other . person. We -do hot seo, thou, that anj constitu . tiouai change is indispensable to the adoption of the principle of cumulative voting. A simple-Act of the Q o uer al .Assembly would change the existing sys? tem and put the new plau in operation. There need be no voting on the conven? tion, and no convention-that is, for this particular purpose." At a meeting in Camden, General J. B. Kershaw, Chairman, a preamble and ?resolutions werei adopted and delegates ?ppoiated to. tho May Convention. The committee on business, consisting of General Chestnut, Colonel Shannon, Golenel Bojkjn, Major Leitner and T. H. Clarke, Esq., reported as follows: "'Tho present oondition of South Ca? rolina is really appalling; while the future promises- no hope unless some speedy and effectual measure can be adopted fer relief. "Politicallj-the white population and propertj holders, in the main, are now an a state of practical vossulage-being exoluded from participation in the direction of the Government, and taxed inordinately without their consent. They aro governed entirely in tho in? terest of a band of mercenary adven? turers who direct and control a domi? nating hordo cf indigonoe, ignorance and vice-supported in their scandal? ous rule bj military power in time of peace. "Financially, wo behold tho Stato al? most, if not alreadj, bankrupt, while the citizens are trembling on tho verge of ruin. We soe also our political rulers equaudoriug the public monej in corrupt jobs, and filling their pockets with pelf wrung from an overburdened people, and without scruple or shame, propos? ing, in effect, to put up for sale the whole State, at public outcry, to the highest .bidder, iu order to moot tho demands of their insatiate rapaoitj. "Propertj thus being ronderod iuse* cure, and industry oppressed and dis .coaraged, wo have become naturally dis? contented and hostile to tho present Go? vernment of the Stato ns adminietcaod. We are no Jongor willing to be so wronged nud plundered, nor to havo our propertj confiscated under mere forms of law, and ourselves reduced to servi? tude. With these views, and seeking proper menus of relief, we desire to con? fer with our fellow-sufferers in other parts of tho State." In an article explanatory of the sys? tem of cumulative voting, tho Charles? ton Nc irs thus concludes: ."We havo said enough to show tho' operation of tho plan of cumulative vot? ing. It is evident that it seoures to the minority a representation co-ordinate with its extent, without trenching upon the just representation which is tho right Of tho majority. Nor need there bo any long delay in testing the plan ^n South Carolina. Should the Maj convention ? consider tho subject and seoure the co? operation of lending Republicans, tho general oleolious of 1872 will, we maj hopo, bo conducted upon the system of cumulative voting." Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail? road.-ya. tU? InUroili oi tn?. Ctly of Columbia. ?}'. ; ?? f \ MR,'EDITOB: Are^tlje citizens of GcV lumbla, as weil ait?tliqso of-the qntir? State, aware that the Charlotte, O?lnm b?a and Augusta Railroad is"undor bond, ' ia the ponai Buna of 8100.000, to remove i the main workshops , of the said road from Columbia to the city of Augustn, ' on. or before tho 1st day of January, 11872? .. A CITIZEN. THE MANHOOD CF THE SOUTH NOT LOST IN THE WAH.-If there is any mun, clique or newspaper in the North, Radi? cal or Democratic, that wishes the peo? ple of the South to commend themsolves to the favor of any power on earth, by i eating their own words, apologizing for their own acts, or by maligning and spit I ting upon their own leaders, who fought ?and lost with them, they might us well I make up their mindB at unco that we do ! bot mean to snenk into tho sun-shine of stioh favor by any Buoh mean and buck door indirection. Wo differed with tho Unionists; we fought them like men; and, when the fortunes of war turned against us, wo Burrondered like mon. But it novor entered into the mind of man or woman at tho South, that through this chaptor of history the South had lost its manhood. We wero uot Helotes scourged from the held by tho whips of masters, but Romans-before, in tho midst of, and after tho battle. If there aro vile curs any where, so lost to magna? nimity and chivalry as not to be satisfied with beating their foes in tho open field, but whoso dastardly bato eau only bo ap? peased by degrading his enemy beneath tho dignity of manhood, that carrion ap? petite will be baulked of his food here. Is there auy party in the North that thinks that the late seceding States will never- be fit associates for it in the re? stored family of tho Uniou until their people become the mean-spirited, de? graded wretches it is tryiug to make them? Are we to bo hypocrites, and liars, and ingrates before we are fit to keep political company with the North? ; If so, the answer is, you are not fib to keep our company. Popular or unpopu? lar, wo will ana must reverence tho memory of Robert E. Lee, and adorn the graves.of our unrecorded dead. We will not turn our backs upon Jefferson Davis, or any other leader, who suffered with us. If we cannot recommend our? selves to you of the North, we mean nt least to preserve oar own self-respect. Wo will not rend ourselves and our ohiofs, like wild beasts, or trample on the ashes of our dead. We believe that the great heart of the Amerioan people will respond to this view of Southern duty, and we are sure there is not an en? lightened Christian, not one genuine patriot or true man North of the Poto? mac or West of the Ohio, who will not say we are.right. Why, then, liston to the hyenas and jackals of the Jacobin .party, and try to assuage their ferocity by bringing the South to its knees, to surrender not only its honor, but its civilization and. humanity? It cannot be-God forbid that it should bo-that the suffragans of this great country are so lost to the sense of rectitudo and honer, that they will vote to spurn the people of the South, and keep them under the ban of Radical disfranchise? ment and persecution because they will not stoop to thoir own degradation. Wo have surrendered all to you that the laws of war demanded from the cou i quered to the oonqueror. When you ask us to assoil oar souls, we refuse-' I they belong to God and to ourselves. [?Mobile Register. A oolored man named John Graham, under the influence of liquor, waa killed by a train on the North-eastern Railroad, Thursday evening. He WOB warned that 1 a train was approaching, but he did not heed, and on the train came, tho cow? catcher striking him in the temple, scooping out his brain and throwing his mangled form off the track.

She has attempted suicide since and failed. It is believed abo has unjustly charged herself with tho crime, that she may die by law.
