COLUMBIA; S. G. iWednesday Morning, April 26, 1871. General .Gory'? Vie?wa. Oar readers will find ia another cola ma a letter from Geueral M. W. Gary, giving bis views M to the spirit in whioh the approaching Moy Convention should address itself to its work. As a patriotic citizen of tried fidelity to the State, his letter will he read with iaterest. .?Tho Presidential Elections." The article appended oa this subj oct, from the Washington Patriot, will oom mead itself to the judgment of mnny. The Democratic address recently issued, whilst clearly indicating the spirit ia whioh the uext national cauvass should be waged by tho Democracy, does not assume to lay dowa a specific platform. In this the authors of tho address acted wisely. The Bpeoial line of aotioa should be left for future action. The Patriot say s: "Ouo ooaolnsive reasoa against plat? form building is to bo found ia the utter uncertainly into which tho administra? tion has pluogod everybody os to the condition of public affairs a year hence. Who oaa tell what unexpected auxiliaries, driven away by disgust, and impatience, and bitter disappointment, may fill our ranks and olaim our sympathy aud re? spectful consideration? Thero uro now men, willingly oonceded leaders iu tho Democratic staff, who a year or two ago were honestly Republican. If things go on as tboy are now doing, there will bo many more, and just in proportion to their numbers is tho necessity of tho de? velopment of generous aud cordial com? munion. Oar stakes ought not to be driven down so as to lix too narrow limits. Who can foreseo on what rock, by the insane ambition of the President and his military camarilla, nil that is left of constitutional liberty will bo wrecked, or oa what lee ?horo, by bad aavigation, wo may be drifting when the autumnal gale of 1872 begiuB to blow? If the President carries the new 'sedition law' for that whioh wrecked tho Federalints of 1799 was aoaght to this-recklessly into execution, and declares a reign of military terror ia the Soutb, then, in the great and awful crisis whioh that coatingoacy implios, we know wo shall have help from without. Whoa wo see sagacious journalists Uko those of the Nation aud the Evening Post-proachers of power like Mr. Beecher-organs of exoitemeat like Harper's Weekly-to say nothing of grave Senators and ablo Rep? resentatives-boldly and vehemently op? posing the initiate outrage on the Con? stitution, havo wo not a right to hopo for their aid, or ought wo tobo so self-reliant as make it impossible when tho wrong is consummated, and the breach is made, and tho actual assault at hand? "Thus looking to tho future, aro not our counsels of prudonco invigorated by the soase of tko neoessity of entire and compact uniou ia our own ranks? Tho grout truths on whioh wo agroo, and whioh, as if by the light of nature rn-' Iher than oar owa agency, are stamped upon our banners, aro too sacred und essential to bo endangered by diff?rence, of opiuion ou minor matters. Like tho' great emblem on tho Laharum of old, tho restored Constitution is ours, and we need no refined doctrines, orthodox or heretical, l-> stimulate or impede tho onward march to victory. As the De? mocracy hus no candidate, lot it have no platform yet. Wbeu tho Republic and constitutional liberty aro in danger, let ns have no orators or newspapers assum? ing to proclaim what they think is the only Demooratio doctrine. The time is not distant when tbe national council of the party will meet, where every State is to be represented thoroughly, for there will be no disfranchisement thero, whence the intelligence and honor and patriot? ism of the South will bo heard as it never has been for long years, and lis? tened to; wben no rival aspirant will disturb the peace; when neither fanati? cism will alarm nor sectionalism, disturb us, for the ruinous work of both is done; whoo, ia short, the great principles which tho condition of the country thus admonishes us to announce will bo de? liberately proclaimed, so that all shall hear and understand, and tho leaders chosen who are to conduct to victory ovor a host like sumo of those we road of yore, encumbered with spoils and plumier, and wearied to death by tho load of falso dootrino and personal un? popularity they have been carrying so long. Again, we Bay: No candidates! No experimental platforms! No dis? turbance ia the line of the great array 1" "THE ALM OF THIEVES."-Tho New York Evening Post, (Republican,) after ahowing how South Carolina has been fleeced and robbed by an iguoruut band of negroes, directed by unscrupulous carpet-baggers, says: Unfortunately tho President, iii the Sooth Carolina caso, will act on the sido of tho "ring" whoso handiwork bas boon exhibited above. The Federal Govern? ment is to be used under the Ku Klux bill, aot to redeem South Carolina from its robbers, bat to fasten upon tho tax? payers tho rule of the scamps who aro plundering it. The Federal power will appear in the Southern States, under this Ka Klux bill, as the ally of thieves, the proteotor of swindlers, the guardian of their plunder. On the night of tho 12th instant, tho barn of Peter Baxter, ia Lincoln Oounty, N. O., was i neon diarized by a colored maa-Prauk Carpenter-who ia now in jai). Throe or four printers have boca dis? charged from the Government printing office, it is alleged, for votiog for Mer? rick, Democratic candidate for Congress from tho District of Columbia. Lette? from Geni HI. W. Cary. FINE BLUFF, A UK ANSAS, ? April 17, 1871. Cori)E. O. MOLTJBE, CHESTER, S. O.: Fearing that business engagements may delay mo longer than I anticipated, I write, in accordance with promises mnde to some of my friends, to gire my im? pressions in regard to what should bo the proper action of tho convention in May. Since leaving home, I huvo inter? changed views with quite a number of distinguished men of tho Democratic party, and with persons of financial re Eutations, and I find that a misappro ension prevails as to the object and in? tentions of tho pooplo of our Stale touching hor presont indebtedness. AB I understand the resolutions of tho Board of Trade and Chamber of Com? merce in Charleston, they refer to any future indebtodnoss of tho State; but thu impression is abroad that they look to a repudiation of the entire Stuto indebt? edness. I fully appreciate and endorso tho feeling that hus prompted our tux-payers to givo warning to tho party now in power, that any additional indebtedness, created by corruption and fraud, will not be paid. According to tho best information which I havo been enabled to obtaiu, tho present bonded debt of tho State is about S9,OOO,OIK), and it is claimed by tho party in power that about two-thirds of this was in existence anterior to their inauguration. How fur this may bo ab? solutely true, I am not prepared to say. If tho taxes wore judiciously levied, and the money arising therefrom appropri? ated to its extinguishment, instead of going into tho pockets of tho thieves who ure robbing ns under tho forms of law, wo could soon pay it; or, at least, moot tho iutercsb duo thereon even iu our impoverished condition. Repudia? tion, by cither Stutes or individuals, is a very dangerous alternativo, and should bo resorted to only to prevont a moro dire calamity-tho confiscation of our lands and tho expatriation of our bust people. Wo have iosfc all save honor in tho late struggle for constitutional liber? ty, nnd before wo part with that we should Buffer and endure until tho keep? ing tho public promises "aro more honored in the breach than in tho ob? servance." I, therefore, think that tho proceed? ings of tho convontion should be regu? lated and controlled with prudouco and caution. I think that substantial assur? ances should be demanded from the leaders of tho party in power, that re? trenchment, economy and honesty, should govern the future financial policy of the present administration; that taxa? tion will be reduced to a reasonablo standard; that tho present indebtedness should not be increased, and that the collection of the present taxes be post? poned until tbe people make another erop. With some snob assurances wo can afford to bear for n time the ills wo have "than to fly to others we know not of." I still hope to bo ablo to bo present and participate in tho counsels for tho welfare of tho State, to which I have been invited. Verv truly yours, &c. M. W. GARY.

C., on the night of the 15th instant, a negro named Cald? well Hnrtgrovo aud a companion out? raged tho daughter of a widow lady, named Mrs. Sarah Stroup. Tho child is about fourteen years old. Hartgrovo was captured, and is in jail. Notwith? standing the horrible crime, tho citizens havo restrained their passions, and aro determined to let justice be dono tho villain by duo course of law.

TURE-SLAVERY DYING: IN BRAZIL-.-A correspondent of tho Boston Journal writos a glowing acoount pf tho induco ments which are held out by Brazil to the colored people. He says: The approximation of social equality among whites and blaoks I have before alluded to. It was conspicuous last ovemng nt the theatre. Well dressed white mon led out to the dance full blooded negresses with as grove a defer? ence and politeness as they conld hnvo shown to tho Empress, and their atten? tions wero accepted as a right, not at all as a favor. The approach to equality oven betwoon masters and mistresses and their slaves would astonish a F. F. V. There aro several reasons for this. No master can flog a slave, but must send him to tho police station, with a statement of his offence, whero ho is punished iu accordance with his deme? rite. Secondly, tho Catholics touch that tho negro is "a man and a brother," and has a soul, and must bo so treated. But chiefly this equality may bo referred to the fact that slavery is understood to be n doomed institution even in Brazil. For yours past only tho planters have hugged it and refuse to let tho people go. Tho enlightened Emperor lins con? stantly pressed emancipation upon peo? ple and Parliament, and nt last an Act, aa a compromiso, which provides that all children born of slave parents after tho dato of tho Act, shall bo free, and after twenty yours all slaves shall bo free, bas been introduced und debated without excitement, and with the general belief that some Act similar in tenor must soou become a law, but which failed at this limo to secure a majority iu its favor. Another proposition is now beforo tho Parliament which meets with some favor, and may pass, lt provides that ail chil? dren born of slave parents, and all women botweon the ages of fifteen and twenty,after tho pnssageof the Act, shall bo freo, and nuother section lays a heavy tax on each malo slave, to be. paid aun it? ally by tho owner. Thu etlect of tho latter clause will be obvious, lu ono of ! tho Western provinces of the empire, a ! plot for a gcueral insurrection of tho slaves wn'i discovered last month just in time to prevent its consummation, by tho arrest of the lendors. Tho Anglo Brazilian, tho only Euglish paper iu the empire, in commenting upon the event, warns tho Government and people that tho slaves understand quito well thc significance of recent events in North America, and will not long be kept iu bondage. There can be no doubt that slavery will soon bo done away with in this fair land. Certain it is that tho climate of Brazil is tho paradise of the colored race. Hero be attains bis fullest development I and lives easiest and longest. Tho soil yields him food almost without labor, and clothes he needs next to nene. A pair of low trowsers and a coffee sack is a suit for every day, while bananas, beaus, yams aud chickens aro as plenti? ful as grass. If all tho negroes now were iu Brazil, aud undor a good system of government, they might, according to Mr. Lincoln's inchoate scheme, develop tho resources of this splendid country, and their own capacity for self-govern? ment and n Christian civilization. Speaking of tho recent murder of Mr. Melton and family, tho Chesterfield Democrat says: There uro various surmises as to who were the perpetrators of this outrage, some supposing they were members of tho Ku Klux organization, some that they wero negroes, many of whom wero said to bo much enraged against Mellon, ! aud others suppose they wero a body of outlaws from North Carolina. Wo have never beard of Ku Klux maltreating wo? men when they inflicted punishment, always taking tho victims a distance from their families. This, if nothing else, would lead us to tho belief that this out? rage was tho result of personal malico rather than tho organized punishment of crime, real or supposed. Our citizens should uso every effort to ferret out aud bring to justice tho authors uf this rrj nie. Throughout the South ox tensivo pre? parations ure being made for "Decora? tion Day."

FIRE IN JACKSONVILLE, FLA.-A cor? respondent at Jacksonville, writing to the Oharleston Courier, under ?dato of the 22d, given the following particulars of a fire in that city: "About noon to? day a fire originated in a frame dwelling on Forsyth str?mt near Pino, which re? sulted in tho destruction of a whole square of dwellings and atoros, among them a now brick blook, in nil tbirtoen buildings. Estimated loss about ?40,000. about one-half insured. The fire de? partment worked well; f\nt\, but for a stiff breeze blowing at tho timo, would have en ved nearly all tho property."
