Mo sosner lad the doora of tho 8tate been opened, prior to the beginning of tb? reconstruction era. when a herd? of hungry, th!?viag political adventurers came to our State.

Loyal Leagues-secret, oath-bound societies, political, military, reli? gions and-industrial in character-.were esta? blished all over the State. Tho antagonism Oeiween the two racen that inhabit Mouth karolina was artfully kept up. Then followed those events which have made tbe history ot Badiealism a disgraoe to civilisation. Gov. Jeott Organizes his negro militia, and arms chem-with Winchester rifle* add bail car? tridges; 'State ' officials Steal and County ?flhoials ciuiokly follow .their example. The banda of log?slatora cloae upon open bribes, iov. Scott opens tho doors of tbs peniten '.iary to his convict-pete, and senas them back to the' communities whence they had neon tatton by tho' bands of^Justice.

A sword of Damocles waa suspended above the heads of - these people, and the Btate grew quiet. Good men felt no tsar. Bad men t enabled. They knew not how soon the avenger would come. But this state of things wss, of course, nut agreeable to the carpet? bagger, tbs renegade and the malicious negro. This sword of Damocles must Be re? moved. Governor Boot', could not remove it. tie saw and trembled. Then was formed the great conspiracy,io wh i ah you, Kr. President, nave been drawn aa an instrument to carry out . tba programme of unscrupulous and alarmed men. 1 he plot opens with a gross sx&ggeration of Ute acts of ontragea in thie State. It is followed up with mis-representa? tions of the spirit and purposes alleged to be therewith connected. The plot thickens. Ths gr. at Boan SWINDLE is about to be ax* posed. Governor Scott enters the conspiracy. You are waited upon, and you are urged tn unwind thc writ of habeas corpus lu South Oarolina. You are falsely cold that the civil power. Stats and Federal, !* not equal to the emergency. The conspirators, well repre? sented in the persona of Messrs. Worthing? ton, A. H. Wallace and Elliott, (negro.) pro rail, and your war apon South Oarolina be? gins. Yes, although it ia nearly seven years sinoe Appomattox, you resume war upon Booth Oarolina. You publish your declara? tion; you send your troops; jou make war up?n peaoeful communities; and, beneath the ample folds of your flag, you al?ow thieres. robbers and incendiaries to find safety and shelter. Is it. Mr. President-General, that the laurels you won in war, fighting fur what you no doubt deemed the right-is it that tbeso laurels must atGuwpeQs indeear Kings fountain wither and div? And now, Mr. President, let me protest, no only against the loss and damage inflicted causelessly upon our industrial interest-i, but also, let me protest, ae X solemnly dc. again-.t tbe violation of the great writ of personal liberty, involved in your proceedings in thio State, uuder the Ku Klux Act ot Congress Sas it ever occurred to your Excellency, that you are but carrying out tho decrees of an unconstitutional Aot of a partyisert Congres*? lt ia a well-known and aecepteu legal maxim, that a delegated power cannot be delegated. Tb? Constitution of tbe United States, which yed are sworn to observe, protect a.td defend, says tbat Congress may suspend the privilege of the writ of haben*cvrpuw when rebellion or invasion do imperil thu public safety Mow, ??lt hough thia power is delegated to Congress only by tbe Constitution of tho n cpu bl ic, \et, tbe Act of Congress, approved April 90. 1871, ieek<* to delegate this power to the Presiuent, .ad allows him to exercise his discretion iu deciding wbeu the "rebellion or invasion," re? ferred to iu the Constitution, shall be con? sidered a? existing. Thia, Mr. Presid? ut. in? vested yon with imperial power, and you might well have turned away from the scep? tre walch the Mark Antonys of Congress ten dared to you But your Exoelleuo\-your Majesty, 1 might add-seised the tenden d power. You ?lid more lu your proclamation .f October 17. last, you proceed to oarr> ou this delegation of a delegated power. Y-.u delegate your power to the United Btatut K?rehal, and he is authorised *o delega e to ula deputy, and he to a soldier, and he to ? ctttson, and thus it comes to this, m the lad analysis of the matter, that the suspension ?<f the writ of habeas corpus ree's, finally, in tbs bands of any United HI ates solder or uegro in tbe once sovereign Btate of Booth Carolina. Against this as a Carolinian, as a citizen ol the United States, as an hereditary fret-man, I raise my protest, however ineffectual it ma) be. Further: 1 raise my protest, and the pro? test of all in sympathy with me, against all ?our military proceeding* iu this ntate 'hese proceedings, instigated by personal malice and for partisan pnrpo-ee, have inflict? ed a heavy blow unou the industries as wed as tue liberties of our people. 1 hey were un aaUed for. I affirm that the civil arm wac ntrong enough to exeoute the law in boutb Carolina, ana that a grievous wrong ba? been done to this State by the very hand that Mhonldbave been raised in sympathy and de? faces. And now. Mr. President, let me say to you that if your purpose be to break thu spirit ol nur people, and make them bend to the yoke that bas been laid upon them, even j oar giant a tr en? th, ac the head of a powerful go? vernment, will not be t-qaal to the task. Uar people wiB ?merge from the waves tbat now threaten to bary their all. Oat of chaos will come order-out of decay will come lile With our climate, our soil, our resources, oar men, our women, with all the bounties of a good God spread before oe, we shall not de ?pair. Nor shall we abandon our mother Btate in the hour of her greatest need Claiming only what is jost ana Kir, standing by only what is right, we shall hold on to tho broken altars of the Btate aud ponr apon thew iu lavish streams the rich libations of a more than Roman devotion. If you can nee to tbe heights of your duty, it is plain what your Excellency is called upon to do. Withdraw your soldiers. Reoail jour military edicts. Remit aa to peaceful pur suits. Think of BURKE, when he relented, and pardoned something to the spirit ol liberty. 'I bink of CAMILLCS, when, by a mag? nanimous policy, he mado tho conquered people of Latiura the friends of Borne, and thoa added to her power and dignity. Your Excellency appears bent upon the policy of making war upon tho Southern States. Pardon me for tbe anggestiou that you cannot, if you regard your fame, retire too soon from this oampaign against j our own countrymen. The only enemy before you are the men, women and children of plundered, struggling communities. The great heart of the peerless Lee is still in deatn, and the war-worn veterans of the armies of the Confederacy aro makins their bread by the sweat of their brows. You oau. Mr. President, win no honor? in your present aggressions; and even if honors were possible, it might bo well for you to bear ever in mind the suggestion of a Christian heart, that "Peace halh her victories no leas renowned than tear." I am, respectfully, yours, J. P. T. To tue Public. COLUMBIA, S. C., November 17,1871.

In other words, Car*toll} sad piuden-ly managed companies charging "mutual'* rate? have betti able to return to their policy holdens from 25 io SU per cen?. ot tbs amount charged foi puxnipms.

Availing themselves of this experience, the Director* and Managers of the UnitereaVLife i liuurat.ee Company at iii? organization, adopt? ? a scale of premiums bi accordance tbeie I with, and which ba? proven to be fan and adtquate, and all that waa necessary tu meet tb? ? requirement- of ih.- I.limn ne These premiums aie about twenty OTU per cent, tower than i there charge by mntual oonipaneis.

They have, I theretore, determined to divide among the policy-holders of the company a targe part of tb? profits accruing from tho sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among tbe stockholders. Tbe plan adopted forsuoh division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Uniter nat will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockholder to extent ef one annual premium upon bis policy; nn& will share in the prrfits of the (> ivpaT,y toprecitely the same extent as a Stockholder owning au equal amount if the Captiat Su ck. by this system of insurance, original with the Universal, the policy-holder secure? th? .ca? wing Important advantage*: 1. Insurance at the regolar "stock" rates, rt quiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty per ceut. less than that chai god by mutual companies, and which ls equivalent tOjk yearly "dividend" paid in dvance of that amount on mutual rates. Ibis low cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company has :t ceived in premium* from its policy-boloera the sum ot SI.517 OOO. To effect the same amount ot insuiance ia a mutual company would have cost tbtm au initial outlay of 12 ( 00.( CO By allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own possession, this excess of $483,000, tbe Universal baa virtually paid them a "dividend" of 1483,000 and paid lt. too. in advance, instead ol st tbe end bf one or more years It is impossible to find any exaxnplo cf a mutnal crmpany fnrnlbbing inaur ance at so low a coat by returning to policy ? holdei u an equal amonnt npon ?in.Uar receipts, j 2. Participation in the legitimate profits of thu company, npon a plan which secures to jtho pslicy-holders tbe same treatment v. hieb directors and stockholders award to themselves. This system of participation, in connection with tho low "Block" rates of premiums, tnoet necessarily secure to toe polioy-holdere every poeBible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. . ' . :j The low rateB of premium con pel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policy-holder his insurance at a rate wbicb in not in excess of too cost in well managed mntual companies: whilo, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be coneidered the legilimato profits of tho buaiueaa, the cost will be still further diminished. ibu? by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profita, it is confidently believed the UN I VE US AL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance nt ita lowest practicable cost.
