, We have said that, as Boon sa possible,
we should indicate bor jadgment Opon
tbe duty .of the people of South Caro?
lina in tb?8 financial emergency. . We
are fully satisfied that there has'been an
extensive, fraudulent over-ieaae of State
bondB. The minimum ia about$10,000,
000.. The maximum may be $30,000,000?
more or less. What, is the immediate
remedy? The patient ia ill. The
Charleston Courier advises repudiation ol
the bonds issued in fraud. The Charles?
ton Nowa says, "stop ike supplies." The
Winnsboro News says, "call a conven?
tion." In onr judgment, all of these
expedients may ooma in hereafter. At
present, the expedients proposed fail to
meet the case. They are premature.

A Letter upon South Carolina Affaire, from a
Soldaroilpian io Ptesld?nt Grant.
' COLUMBIi, 8. O?, iTcrvember 15,1871. ,
To Hie Excellency U. S. Grant, Pr?sident of the
UnU&L States. >
;BIB; At thia cri?is iii the public affairs of
thia S tato, ? venturo to address myself to your
Excellency. As a Booth Carolinian, and also
lan American oit izo n, it ia my right and my
i Privileg!}, if I so chooso, to place the case ol
?my State before .tho President of the Repub?
lik). 1 shall do so, with a duo regard for the
high office which yon hold, and with a fuU ap?
preciation of my comparative obscurity. At
tho'eamo time. I sholl discharge my solf-lm
p'q?bd duty with that oaudor and, spirit befit?
ting the occasion and tho groat Interests in?
volved.
Let me, in the .first place, remark that there
ie anotb?r roan oh why it ie not unbecoming in
,me to approach your Exoollenoy. Your At
.tortoy-tienera l was reo?ntly on duty at York
ville, In this H tate, and, whilst there, I am in?
formed that it is bot unlikely that ono Adiokes,
a white mah, and one Hammond, a negro man,
did report a distinguished Carolinian, and tho
?writer, as the head-centres of the Eu Klux or?
ganisation of'Booth Carolina. Allow me,
Before proceeding farther, to brand this state?
ment as unqualifiedly false. I challenge and
defy the meanest and most unscrupulous
henchman that yon may have in South Caro?
lina to connect my name, or my private or my
'public conduct, with any act at variance with
tho law. Apart from its philosophy and true
interpretation, 1 know as little of this alleged
Kn KJuxiam in portions of Bonth Carolina aa
does your Exoellenoy. Bot of that philosophy
and true interpretation, I have very distinct
views; which 1 shall take oooaeion to submit
to your Exoellenoy in the course of this letter.
With these preliminary observations, 1 shall
now undertake to lay before your Exoellenoy
?nd the country the case of injured and mis?
represented Houth Carolina. You have put
the aase in court. You are the nigh prosecu?
tor. I make myself the advooate of tue State
j-obscure in name, but strong in the integrity
pf rey oaoao-ttirice-armed, bf pause my quar?
rel ls jEsY. Allow me, now, to carry your Ex
pellenoy back to Appomattox.. Ypu will not
object., If a sad .day. .to us of the South, it
?waa a proud day for you. On that day South
Carolina, in common with the Southern Con?
federacy, y i olde d to Heaven's deorse and your
strong battalions; gave up the cause for
which she had gallantly fought, and snrron
gered aU the hopes and ali the dreams of
outhern nationality. Tho State formally re
?iealed the ordinanoe of seooasion, abolished
he institution of African slavery within her
i ordo ra, and reeumed|in general her obliga
ions to tho Fed' i I Union.
. The future be*, a > promising. The late
Confederates and our people generally want
pd a oountry to love, and of which to be
proud. They were disposed to give to the
United States flag much of the devotion that
had been lavished on the "Conquered Bau
nor." Eat the couran of/good feeling was
not suffered to run smooth, and to ooaduot us
to a united people and a restored Union,
The fell, spirit of party ism developed itself.
The. monster since known as RADICALISE
reared its angry croat. The Boheme ot Radi?
cal reconstruction waa put in operation. Itt
author. Thaddeus Stevens, boldly proclaimer
that his followers had oamped outside of thi
Constitution. Thence began the .trouble;
whioh have culminated in the situation-mi
Jitary, financial and general-which thia un
happy State now presents. Before the pre
sent government was imposed, through Bede
??l Influence, upon South Carolina, tho whit?
oople of South Carolina made to OongroBi
their BEHOXBTEAKCE and submitted their AP
PEAL. These are upon record. The write:
of this lotter was chairman of the committei
who bore that remonstranoe and that appea
to Washington and laid it before the Reoon
etrnotion Committee of Congress. He ha<
the honor and the priviloge of addressioi
that committee in the basement of the Capt
toi. He spoke to the head and front of re
construction-Thaddeus Stevens bimsolf
and protested againet the monstrous wroni
that was shout to be done to the oatraoia ?<
White people of. South Carolina. He ven
tared further to say that the regime foiste<
upon this State waa illogical; that it coutume
?the seeds of ruin and decay; that it contra
vened the laws of Ood, and tn at, therefore, i
would not and could not endure. Will no
your Excellency admit that the writer's anti
pipatious have boon swiftly roalized? Loo
tnis day at our Executive, our legislative hu
tory, our ruined finances, our dieordere
State strickeu in its liberties and its indue
tries! Let your Exoelleuay contemplate th
Spectacle which you yourself present-to-da
seeking to hold up with your bayoneta (h
rotten, falling pyramid of reconstructs
South Carolin?! -tho pyramid which pigm
statesmen have sought to make rest upou it
sharp apex, instead of its broad base.
Bot'the schbmo o? Radical reooustrcctio
Was p.aced in operation. The demands c
PABTY required tue experiment to be mad?
Need we point your Excellency to the hil
tory of ?outli Carolina, fur the last thre
years? It is tho history of a plundered an
put raged people. It is tho history of misrul?
Erofligaoy, fraud and corruption. No soom
ad the doors of the State been opened, prie
to tho beginning or thu reconstruction en
when a horde of hungry, thieving politici
adventurers came to our State. These fla
tered the hopes and fostered the prejudic*
of tho enfrauchisod freedmen, and strue
hands aud united fortunes with the nath
renegades. Thus wae formed a combin&tioi
whence proceeded all tho evils that have con
Upon tins State. Loyal Leagues-eecre
Oath-bound societies), political, military, rel
pious and industrial in character-were eeti
{dished all over tho Btate. 'Die ant agon?a
between the two races that inhabit Bout
Carolina was artfully kept up. Then follow?
those events which have made tho history <
Radicalism a disgrace to civilization. Go
ficott organizes his nogro militia, and arn
hem with Winchester rifles and ball oa
tridges. State officials steal and Conn
offiioials quickly follow their example. Tl
hands of legislators close upon open bribe
dov. Scott opens thu doora of the ponito
tiary to his convict-pets, and sends the
back to tho communities whonoe they hi
been taken by the hands of justice. Tl
Land Commission perpetrates its swindle
The whole State regime becomes a mass
corruption, with BOarooly a healthy spot up<
its blackened aurface. The Btroup arm
South Carolina becomes weak, nerveless ai
pulseless from corruption. Under these ci
oumetanoes, need your Excellency wood
that ontlawa in the high oflloial seats of tl
State should have engendered the spirit
outlawry in the pooplo? Under such cironi
stance?, noed your Exoellenoy wonder that
Eortlohs of this State,' acts of violence shou
aye boen commit tod? Is it unreasonat
that, provoked beyond endurance, local ti
fenaive and protect Ivo hands may have bo
organised? Whatever tour Excellency m
think, we know what- tho judgment of t
country will be when all the facts of the ea
shall bo brought out. That judgment will
that, if men in the up-country bavo sinne
they have ?Iso been sinned against; and '
shall not be surprised if the oountry dc
not yet wonder at the moderation and endi
ance of our peoplo. '
Let your Exoollenoy now understand i
frilly on this subject. I oppose, and ha
ever opposed, secret associations, organiz
for political or disciplinary purposes. I I
HnvA that tho evil ?h*r?witu associated o?r
terbalanoea the good. There aro, in a dd i th
ethioal considerations which control my juc
mont and determine my'action upon t
question. Whilst, therefore, I cannot defo
what there is, or may htvo been, Of Ku Kit
ism in South Carolina, I intend, novor thole
to give my impressions as to RB true philo
phy ?nd ita correct interpretation. H o wo vor
diverted by bad and irresponsible men from
ita original purpose; however need in eotne
OMS? to,-gratify poraonal mallee ?nd carry
private end?; whatever there ia, or haa been,
of Ku Klusifcm in portion? of South Carolina,
grew out of the weakness ?nd corruption ot
our Bute regime, and had for ita object the
protection of person and property? even to
tbs'summary Infliction of death upon evil
doers. This was a bold resolve. This was a
desperate remedy. Bet 1st ne not forest that
the disease was alto desperate, and the pro
vocation great. I cannot defend the acts of
summary vengeance committed, either by
white men or negro men. I leave the actors
in ihojo transactions to the judgment of
Heaven amt the Judgment of the country.
Before these tribunals each man, who has
a-sumed the responsibility of executioner,
m nat answer for himself. The onus of the
act reats upon the actor. But those conside?
rations shall not prevent me from raising my
voice against the efforts to mia-repreaent our
.people and , to make political capital out of
'those aots of violence wbioh have been the
direct rosult of a corrupt and feeble adminis?
tration of. the laws. - Is it to bs wondered that
where there is no law, that the people should
make a law unto themselves? Ia it to be
wondered that the Loyal Union Leagues
?should have led to the formation of opposing
'defensive and protective societies?
I have thus, Mr. President, brought the
history of events in South Carolina to a com?
paratively resent period. Whatever tiwre
waa of Eu Kluxism pr Lynoh law organisa?
tions in Booth Carolina, produced a profound
impression upon the thieving officials, c?tate
and County, in thia State, upon the malicious
negroes, and upon ovil doers in general. A
sword of Damocles was suspended abo ve the
heads of these people, and the State grew
quiet. Good men felt no fear. Bad m< L
trembled. They knew not how soon the
avenger would oome. But this state of things
was, of course, not agreeable to the carpet?
bagger, the renegade and the malicious
negro. This sword of Damocles must be re?
moved. Governor Scott could not remove it.
He Baw and trembled. Then was formed the
great conspiraoy, in wbioh you, Mr. President,
have been drawn as an instrument to carry
out the programme of unscrupulous and
alarmed men. lhe plot opens with a gross
exaggeration of tho acts of outrages in thia
Stato. It is followed up with mis-representa?
tions of the spirit and purposes alleged to be
therewith connected. The plot thiokena.
The great BONO SWINDLE ia about to be ex?
posed. Governor Bcott enters the conspiracy.
You aro waited upon, and you are urged to
suspend th? writ of habeus corpus in South
Carolina. You are falsely told that the civil
power. State and Federal, ia not equal to the
emergenoy. The conspirators, well repre?
sented in the persons of Messrs. Worthing?
ton, A. 8. Wallace and Elliott, (negro,) pre?
vail, and your war upon Mouth Carolina be?
gins. Yea, although it ia nearly seven years
since Appomattox, you roaunie war upon
Booth Carolina. You publish your declara?
tion; you Bend your troops; you make war
upon peaooful communities;'.and, beneath the
ample folds of your flag, you allow thieves,
robbers and incendiaries to find eafety and
shelter. Ia it, Mr. President-Genoral, that
tho laurels you won in war, fighting for what
you no doubt deemed the right-ia it that
those laurels must at Oowpons and near Kings
Mountain withor and die?
And now, Mr. President, lot me protest, not
only against the loss and damage inflicted
causelessly upon our industrial interests, but
also,let me protest, as I solemnly do, against
the violation of the great writ of personal
liberty, involvedinyour proceedings in thia
State, under the Ku Klux Aotof Congress.
Has it ever ooourred to your Excellency, that
you are but oarrying ont the decrees of an
unconstitutional Act of a parCyised Congress?
It is a well-known and accepted legal maxim,
that a delegated power oannot be delegated.
The Constitution of the United States, wbicb
yon are sworn to observe, protect aud defend,
says that Congress may suspend the privilege
pf the writ of habeas corpus when rebellion or
invasion do imperil the public eafety. Mow,
although this power ia delegated to Oongreat
nnly by the Constitution of tho He public, yet
the Act of Congress, approved April 20, 1871
I seek" to delegate this powor to the President
end allows bim to exercise hie discretion ir
deciding when the "rebellion or invasion,"re
ferred to in the Constitution, shall be cnn
biderod as existing. Thia, Mr. President, in
vested you with imperial puwer, and yut
mjght Well hare turned away from the seep
tro wiiioh tho Mark Antonys of Congress ten
dered to you. But your Excellency-youi
Majesty, I might add-seised the tendere*
I power. You did more. In your proclamatioi
pf October 17, last, you proceed to carry oi
this delegation of a delegated power. Yoi
delegate yonr power to the Uuitod State
Marsha!, and he is authorised *.o delega o ti
his deputy, and he to a soldier, and he to i
litizen, and thus it comes to this, in thu las
analysis of the matter, that the suoponsioi
of the writ of habeas corpus rests, finally, ii
the hands of any United ?tates soldier o
negro in tho once eovereign State of Soutl
Carolina.
Against tbie as a Carolinian, aa a citizen o
the United 8tatea, as au hereditary freeman
I raiae my protest, however ineffectual it ma;
be. Further: 1 raise my protest, and the prc'
test of all in sympathy with me, against a;
j >our military proceedings iu this r?tate
these proceedings, instigated by persona
I malice and for partisan pnrponoB, have m timi
ed ? heavy blow noon the industries an weil a
the liberties of our people. Tliey wore ur
called for. I affirm that the civil arm wa
strong enough to execute the law in bout
Carolina, and that a grievous wrong ha? bo?
done to this State by the very hand tnt
should have been raised in sympathy and d<
fono?.
And now, Mr. PrOBident, let me Bay to yo
that if yonr purpose bo to break tho spirit ?
onr people, ?nd make them bond to tho yuh
that baa been laid upon thom, even yoi
giant strength, as the head of a powerful gt
vornimmt, will not bo equal to the task. Or
tieople will emorge from the waves that no
hreacen to bury their all. Out of chaos wt
como order-out of decay will como li fi
With our climate, our soil, our resources, oi
men, our wemen, with all the bounties of
good GosVspread before ns, we shall not di
.pair, flor shall we abandon our mothi
Stato in the hour of her greatest nee?
Claiming only what is just and lair, standic
by only what is right, wo shall hold on to tl
broken altars of the ?tat o and pour upon thei
in lavish streams tho rich libations of a moi
than Homan devotion.
If you can rise to tho hoights of your dut
lt is plain what your Excellency is called upc
to do. Withdraw yonr soldiers. Itocall yoi
military odiots. Remit us to peaceful pu
suits. Think of BURKE, when he relente.
?nd pardoned something to tho spirit i
liberty. Think of GAMILLOS, when, by & maj
nanimons policy, bo made tho conquere
people of Latium tho friends of Rome, st
thus added to ber power and dignity.
Yonr Excellency ?ppoars bent upon tl
So'ioy of making war upon tho Southe]
tates. Pardon nie for tho suggestion tin
you cannot, if yon regard your fame, roth
too aoon from this campaign against your ov
oountrymon. The only enemy before you a

struggling communities.
The great heart of the poorlees Leo is st
