Wo have never claimed for it any. magic jpqwers-have never in? dulged iu any extravagant anticipations ?a to the resulta to be derived from its introduction into our Statu. We are aware of the many diseases that aillict the body politic iu South Carolina under the abnormal condition in which vicious legislation.and party feeling have plaoed ns. No system o? voting-no method of fair representation-no property qual? ification for tho Senate-could of iteelf, and itself alone, furnish the remedy for our disorders. These disorders spring from several sourdes, are complex in . their character,, ond, therefore, it'ia not likely that any one agonoy will be fouud tu meet the case. , Cumulative , voting ..would, il ponoeded,.provo no "ready-re' lief "^iiq'oure-a^leither hero oj. else? where. ..' .j yj We.coaour, (thoroforo, ; wrtl? tte) i?e porter, iu1 tHiS;,thal? ho ,'^panacea" is to be found m -Moumulativii (voting.'

Wo hold that the truth is con? tained^ the mean between tho two ex? tremos. Applied in.this State, it would ?mpr?vo our condition by securing a prompt improvement in the oharaoter of oui representation in the lower House. We think that upon'a deliberate review of the results of this new method, the Reporter will scarcely insist upon it that na, od vantage is to aooruo to the minority from its adoption -iu this State. It is true that it would avail us nothing in those offices, where only-one is to be eleoled. But it would make our condi? tion no worse in those oases, audi in all other cases, auch as the election for the House, County Commissioner*, etc., it would econ re to minorities a due repre? sentation. ? .??} As for the House, it would double the 'representation that the minority how .have nuder the present system. Is thia - a o gain? Nor need the adoption of the trew method of representation bo looked apon as fixing the absolate rule of divi? sion between the racoB in this State. It secures to each party a oertain power to rest upon, but.at the Barns time, lea ve? eaoh to gain- any additional power that may come from the ordinary influences that men adopt the world over, to con - stol eaoh others' actions in political con? flicts. The Reporter looks upon oamulativo voting as a "very small tub thrown to a very large whale." On this point wo ' are not sure, but that the Reporter is . eight as respects, at least, many of tbe - Radical leaders of this State. It is not unlikely.that with these, the acceptance of this ne w system has been prompted by a disposition in this way to appease the wrath of an outraged and indignant public opinion. With theao-expecting ..the dominant party not to make tho -doncoBsiou-tho cumulative system is ? designed as'? "sop to Cerberus"-OB a ,"4J?bothing syrup" to seaare to plauder l ?ng officials and thieving rings n longer lease of opportunity for their nnhallow '?'ocLpurposea. This,, however, wo havo ^lio reason to assume, is the spirit iu which ary member of tho dominant party ad? ates the, principle? of proportional resentatfon. ;>Whatever bay be the spirit in whiOh this System has been ad vooated by member^ of the majority, tho adoption of "tho feyatorn vrppldho advan? tageous to^Tio minority, ami tho.syaleni itself is, right. Wp- avfy?wi^Ky any C1C&3S, surs that itis etosiinant purty will concede this principle. We regard it far more likely that they will decide to hold all the power they have nntil con strained to gi voit up. If that, shall be the' decision, be it so. We have no fears f?'r tho minority. Their ultimate relief io certain and sore. Of this we feel sat? isfied: looking t? tho future, the system of proportional representation is far more important to tho present majority than the present minority. Bur looking to the subject of proportional reproaenta * tion as an abstract proposition-viewing it in its application to oar elections from Maneto Tesas, and i^m Yhjnnia Jo Oaliforaii, weMeemJiUTo ff?*?!?0?] bnt afltately frbipl Sr^ign*dSwilBthj peopUmdeareH iut&esjts,, oSn? mff1IM cm toM haven ff go j^r.ijjno^tal ^ac^an^ stability.

Wo do not ogreo with the Reporter in its opinion that this plan would be aa easy of accomplish mont e?s the system of cumulative voting. Nor do we admit that it would be moro valuable. There are.certain foeliogs existing in the. mass of tho community, on tho subject of tho rights and claims of property, as opposed to tho rights and claims of person, which, would bo aroused by the effort to carry the principle thut tho Reporter would seek to establish. There would bo is? sues raised. Questions would be brought j np that are yet unsettled. In our judg? ment, thc cum .ilativo system of votibg act iugupon persons, and recognizing the per? sonal vote, practically secures, in fair nnion and just proportion, that very representation of both persons aud pro? perty which tho Reporter aims at iu its soborne. Bottor, in our view, in it to have both persons and property repre? sented alike in the Senate and tho House, than to have property alone represen tod in tho Senate, sud numbers alone iu tho House. Rightly understood, it .will bo found that, iu its practical working, propor? tional representation can be used to se? cure a representation alike for INTERESTS and NL'M?ji?ttt. ? It ou ables people to realiza/in this century, what has long been the dream of the earnest legislator. Our cotemporary.of the Ihinreuaville Herald, pronounces in favor of the sys? tem of cumulative voting. It believes Unit in tho up country, the Democratic element will ero long bo in the ascen? dancy. But, nevertheless, aa the plan proposed is calculated to do good to tho State in general, and as it embraces a prinoiple that lies at the foundation of free government, the Herald gives its support to tho measure. It says: "In a word, this system, if carried into effect, will apportion the representation in accordance with tho strength of tho J opposing parties. We furthermore be liieve that, in securing to each party a proper representation, it will tend to soften the bitter animosity that now ex? ists between the two political factions. Believing the plan to be foandod in wis? dom aud justice, we give it our support, and hope it will prevail." DlSORIlUHATION ON ACCOUNT OF Ra GE AND Conon.-The order of the Presi? dent commuting the sentence of the ne? gro West Point oadet, Smith, clearly and by confession infringes the great Republican.doctrine of "no diatinotion on account of race or color." tu thia case tho President bases the commuta? tion chiefly (and in point of faot solely) on the ground that Smith is a negro, and the policy of the Government to? ward his race is to grant them privileges and exemptions that aro not extended to the white race. The order means this and nothing less, and in what an aspeofc does it present the President of the United States and this groat American Repnbliol What, asks tho Savannah Republican, have the white men of the North to say to this publio proclamation of the President that tho negro is more entitled to the consideration of the Go? vernment than themselves? TriE PEACH Cnor.-Tho New York Daily Bulletin, of the 11th, Rays: "The first lot of peaches this season, iu this market, oamo in last week from South Carolina. They were in rather poor couditiou; considering which, thvy brought very high prices; tboro wcro ten ordinary crates, which sold from $13 for first to $6 fer last selections. Since then wo have had several lots from Georgia, very few, however, being in even fair condition. One of tho first lots from Carolina, coming io a partition chest, sold at 830. Not more tb au three or four touching each other this way, they arrive in better couditiou than iu ordinary orntes. Tho prospects iu Dela? ware aro that we will have a good crop, but tho Jorsoy orojb Io0k8 less flatteviug, many dropping oft" The Augusta Chronicle says: "We . learn i that tho shipment of peaches from Aiken-a suburb of Au? gusta-was never so large in quantity as bow, and is about ten days earlier than t? M uti. Thsre is - great demand in KoT York for our Georgia and Sooth Caro? lina fruits. Wo saw yesterday a poach so remarkable, as a recent variety, that tbs owner (Derby 'Farm) declined an oiler of one dollar for a single.peach." . DIED FBOM TH S EFFECT OF HIS WOUNDS. -Claudius J. Pigues, who was shot at Camden, about a fortnight ago, by J. A. Schr?ck, Esq., Trial Jus tico, died on Sunday night last. His leg had buen amputated about a week before. Mr. Pigues was 28 years ojd. Schr?ck ap? plied for' bail on Wednepday lost. He was represented by his counsel, Messrs. Shannon and J. M. Davis. two, they ha vb trie principio "la iuyolved;~we; concur in ali that haai huon " ?a%d.?h?<ivvor'$f We ayatem. ...lt. ia .nptbJlli?.-eift?e,.-than .the minority .in. a Republican government bas u right to rt fe ra if ti d'-nothing moro than th? majority should M? billing to aouoedo. In our present condition, though, iu this State, we aro entirely un - able to. seo any adyuntage that could acerue lo the minority from its adoption. It could uot bu brought into play in tho ?lection of Governor, Secretary of State,, Comp trolled Genend, and other execu? tive officers. Its result, therefore, would be to leave the Executive Department in the hand* of the parties who now hold it. Jt would not nvail us anything in the organization of the Senate, for, us there is only one Senator to bo elected in eaoh Conuty, his election munt be a straight out contest between the two parties. So far, indeed, .from helping us in tho coustitutiou of tho Senate, we believe that it would operate injuriously to tho interests of the tax-paying portion of tho community, in tho organization of that body, by the direot and power? ful influence- it would have in drawing more sharply the lino betwocn tbe two races in the Statu. The adoption of the Hy s te rn would, bo looked upon ns a sort of bargain between thu races that each was entitled to and was to take all it could get in tho practical workiug of the Hcheme. As a result, the Senate would be .almost eotifely colored. lu the .House, Charleston, Georgetown, Beau? fort, Richland, Edgelield, aud other Counties, would gain some members that would bo representatives of the property-holding element. Gu the other baud, Spartanburg,- Picketts, Anderson, Lancaster, aud other Counties, would have to coucode members to the party who represent,, nu m hers .^instead of pro? perty. So that, eveu iu tile election for tho House of Representatives, tho los? would -be almost -a? great as tho gain. lu tho County elections,~ tbe \ system could ouly be applied to 'tho election ol County Commissioners. The roost thal could be effected by this- would bo tc give ono Commissioner to.'the minority iu each County. While ho would bo i watch lipon the majority of tho Board, and would bo able'to prevent dishoues practices, by mukiug exposure of them ho would still be a minority of th? Board, and would be powerless to stoj extravagant expenditures within th? limits of its lawful authority. We cai then BOO no practical beuetlt that is t< result from tho adoptiou of tbis system To us, it looks liku a very small tul thrown to a very large whale. If this i all we aro to get for ignoring the recon of the spotless Chamberlain, who take no ignorance nor rapacity in his Repub licanism, and for burying in oblivion tb Winchester rifles and ball cartridges o Scott, we think we hud bettor make uj our minds not to accept tho bargain am to fight out the issue on tho same tac that wo have beeu operating on heretc fore. Tho plan of changing tho constitution so as to engraft thereon a property qnal: floation for the Senate, is as easy of nc oomplishmeut as the securing of th adoption of tho cumulative system c voting, and is worth something when i is seoured. The system of mioorit representation, by cumulative voting, J not easily explainable to ordinary mindi and, in its actual workiug, would b utterly incomprehensible to the colore population. On the other hand, tl proposition to allow property to be re] resented iu the Senate aud numbers i the House, is simple and easily ex plait ed to, and understood by, tho most con mon intelligence. The negroes cool easily be led to seo that they represor the numerical majority in the State, an that the whites (owning the property represent the wealth of tho State. Thc could be made to understand that tl object of all good government is to s ouro tho rigbte of person and the righ of property; that, by their having tl House of Representatives in their hand their rights of person would bo amp secured; and that, iu order that tl rights of proporty should be seen rei j.istico and fairness would require th tho other branch of -1 he General Asser bly should bo in tho bauds of those wi roprcseut thc property of tho Stute. If it is tho wish of the leading colon mon of tho Statu (us somo iudientio point out) to settle the allai rs of tl Slate ou such a basis ns will remove i ground for suspicion nud jealousy b tween two the races, whilo at tho san time guaranteeing to each race tho u disturbed eujoymout of all its rights ai its duo share iu the administration tho Stato Government, it seems to that tho door is opou for thom to do by availing thomsol ves of the power tb< race possesses, by its numerical mnjorit to call a con vontion of tho people, ai so modify tho constitution as to alli only property-holders to sit in the g nato. If anything could effectually hi mon ?zo the antagonism between tho t' races, it doos seem to us that this m< sure would do so. Its fairness and j us tico recommend it. Tho treatmc tho proposition would receive at t hands of the oolored voters would least show us, finally and forev whether it is worth while to attempt make any terms upon which tho t races cnn live peaceably and prosp ously togother in South Carolina.

He came to this city in 1830, from tho North. In 1848, he opened business as a broker aud commission merchant, in the same office, ou Broad street, where ho was conducting his business when overtaken by tho fell destroyer. About 1854, he beoame the financial agent of the Green? ville and Columbia Railroad, and con* ducted its affairs in an able and satisfac? tory manner.
