ID view of this condition of affairs, the State capita! was thronged by refu? gee Republicans, and in tbe months of January and February last, I was ear? neatly urged by many loyal mon, includ? ing numerous members of the General Assembly, to call out the militia and de? clare martial law over those Oonnties where these sots of lawless violence were being perpetrated. Thie I refused to do, for reasons wbiob I then thought, and still think, were judicious and pro? per. I had at my disposal but a compa? ratively small militia force, composed nearly altogether of colored men, as this class alone, with but few exceptions, had offered themselves for enrollment and organization, and they alone could be relied on as loyal citizens. As an evi? dence of this fact, I wonld state that a captain of a militia company, composed of white men, in this city, having ap? plied to mo for ummunitiou, I asked bim if he wonld obey my orders SB com? mander-in-chief, in the event of an armed collision arising from an attempt to en? force the laws, to which he frankly re? plied: "In ouse of difficulty, I will go with my race." He was told that it was not a question of race, bot a question of enforcement of the laws against those who proposed to set them at defiance. The militia were, for the most part, un? disciplined and unskilled in the use ol arms, for they were reared nuder a sys? tem of law which even forbade theil having a fire-arm in their possession. J was convinced that if put into the field, they would have been instantly con? fronted and attacked by a large body ol Vcte?ati soldiery, well organized, anc equipped with the most improved arms, und forming a part of a vast organiza tion extending through adjacent States, with wbioh they had easy lines of com municution. lu such a conflict it wai evident that the militia would have beet beaten-either driven back or slaught ered. In that event, I feared a genera retaliation, which wonld have speedily made the entire Stato the theatre of ai internecine war. * But, supposing the militia sucoessfu in such a conflict, the opposition paper and the Associated Press agents in th i State would have proclaimed to th country that the State administratioi had, for a political purpose, inaugurate* a "war of races," and even loyal men o both parties in the North, who have n< sympathy with the perpetrators of thea unnatural crimes, would have been le? to believe that tho contest here was on between tho "negro and the white man, instead of being, as it is, an issue be tween the loyal friends of the Govern ment and its disloyal enemies. Snob an impression in the oonntr would have hud a peculiarly disastrou effect upon the future of the colored pc pnlation throughout tho entire Soutt In addition to these considerations, thought, and still think, that it was th paramount duty of the Government c the United States to protect its loyal oit zens in the enjoyment of "life, libert and the pursuit of happiness." The negro was a slave by virtue of th Oonstitution of the United States. B tbe Government of the United States L was emancipated and made a free, Am? rican citizen. The Government of tb United States is, therefore, morall bon nd to protect him in the full ezeroii of his vested rights, and, if need be, I educate him to exercise those rights Ul derstaudingly, for he was kept in ign< rance pursuant to its laws. If the Gi vornrneut of the United States fail when necessary, to discharge this dut; then emancipation was a political orim and the negro is left to become the ob dient tool or wretched victim of the di loyal enemies of the Government, at to suffer outrage because he is its frien Moreover, I viewed the use of the mi tary for the execution of the laws wi extreme repugnunoe, and reqaired tb the civil authorities should first exbau their powers through the posse comilaii In the following letter, addressed to tl Sheriff of Fairfield County, and pu lished for tho information and guidau of peaao officers in other Counties, I e joined npon tho local Magistrates ai peuce officers of that Coanty to act wi vigor, and, at ull hazards, to bring the criminals to justice, at least suoh of the as wero known, and where there was pi per evidence on which a warrant cou issue: "EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

The failure of the proper Cot v officers to exert their utmost vigilano detect, and their most vigorous effort -. bring to punishment, all disturben . tho peace, will be deemed evidenc [' their flagrant neglect of duty or g ," inefficiency, lt is a grave reprooo ? the people of Winnaboro, that a ban o fifty disguised horsemen should I II boon permitted to outer their town, r occupy it for suveral hours, with thc dared purpose- of putting in torro: inflicting violence apon, the sworn publie officers of the County. "In this connection, it is proper that I should call your attention to the re? cent Act of Oongrees, which makes all citizens who are privy to any sots of organised ?ioleno6, and 'si! to give snj j information in their possession that may lead to the arrest of the perpetrators, particeps criminis in their guilt. Very respectfully, .?ROBERT K. SCOTT, Governor." The offloers did not act, being either paralyzed by lear or in sympathy with the criminals. In common with mauy others, the loyal men among them seemed to regard this as a purely per? sonal government, and to expect that the Executive should discharge all the duties of the departments of the State. At this j uno turo, I determined to make a final effort to restore poblio order without military force, and I there? fore invited prominent citizens of the disaffected section to a oonferenoo with me at the capital. They were all recog? nized leaders of the opposition, aod of acknowledged influence in their respect? ive Oonnties. I had hoped much from their co-operation in the interest of law and order which they professed to advo? cate, knowing, as I did, that the massea of the whites in this State would, from the mere force of former discipline, heed their admonitions. The conference was held. All of these gentlemen deprecated sots of violence, hst denied the exist? ence of the Kn Klux organization in South Carolina, while eome of them in? directly sought to extenuate acts of vio? lence that they could not well deny, by referring them to what they were falsely pleased to term "negro mle." They al? leged numerous acts of incendiarism by negroes, which allegations, derived from the opposition press, and often repeatod, have been proved base fabrications; in the main, designed to offset or palliate the burning of school houses erected foi the instruction of colored children. Those gentlemen, however, promised mt their co-operation to the end in view, and I believed them. I am not advisee that any effort was made to fulfill thos( promises. Certainly they effected DO thing. Having exhausted all the civi! power nnder my control to suppress thii insurrection against tho constituted au thorities, I made application, in accord ance with the Constitution of the Uni tee States, to the National Qovernment tc protect the State "against domestic vio lenee." The magnitude of this organ ized system of crime was made apparen to Congress, the evidence in the posses .?iou of the Qovernment showing tba the Kn Klux banda in South Carolin, were "but parts of a stupendous whole,' having a broader scope than the redres of a mere looal grievance. Congress "by appropriate legislation," haviuj granted tb? necessary powers, bis Exoel lency the President of the United States on the 17th day of October, 1871, soe pended thu writ of habeas corpus in th Counties of Spartanburg, York, Marion Chester, Laurens, Newberry, Fairfield Lancaster and Chesterfield. The Count; of Marion was subsequently exoeptei from this list, and the County of Unio very properly substituted therefor-M? rion having been originally embracec instead of Union, in the first proclame tion of the President, through a clerics error. An adequate force of United Stat? troopa is now in the State, and, und? the direction of an energetio and db creet commanding officer, they ore ai tively engaged in arresting the Ku Kin orimiuals, wherever legal testimony < guilt is furnished. Many persons of tb suspected class have fled from the uppe Counties, while at the same time protea ing their innocence of crime. Fiigi from arrest by officers of the law is ut generally regarded as furnishing a vei strong legal presumption of ionoccne It would be far better, however, for tl State, that all of thia class shoo abandon it forever, than that even 01 industrious laborer sbonld be murder? or driven away from the pursuits of ns ful industry. The former are nanal dronea in the human hive, while upc the products of the toiling moss repo the whole wealth and prosperity of tl State. I am officially informed that thus f about COO arrests have been made in th State, nnder the Act of Cou g ress. Ti persons arrested, and now, for the mc part, held for trial, represent aime every doss in society; from the burnt laborer and small farmer, to the wealtl planter, practicing physician, lawyer ai minister of the Gospel. I have endeavored to be historien exact in recording what must pass in history as a reproach to American civi zation, and is now known of all men the shame of the State. It presents t most extraordinary spectacle of a coi plate relapse from civilization into bi barism known in the| annals of mi kind-surpassing, in its atrocity, 1 "Thagism" o! India, for the Th , spares woman and the aged, but I , Ku Klux exempts none from vengeance, in bis eflor ti, to stran Republicanism. If any (impartial mi , jealous of the honor of his kii , hesitates to believe such things p , siblo ina civilized oommnnity, let t , visit tho ?ail in this oity. Ho \ ? there find eoores of the veritable act , in these deeds of blood, many of wh , have voluntarily confessed their orii I aa Ku Klux, these last being poor, luded men, to whom I trust tho uta clemeooy of the Natioual Executive 1 . be extended, for they are but tho blin . victims of their cultivated leaders. Si 3 of them but recently showed, or offe 3 to show, their scarred backs to a dis . gimned United States Senator fi f Rhode Island, (Mr. Spragne,) t . having boen lashed by order of offi< . of their own Klan, because, when f dered to ahoot men marked for mar , they had, ont of natural pity, "< y whipped" the intendedjvictims. Tl f who, with an air of indignation, f with a well-affected concern for oonsl 9 tional liberty and "State sovereign j demand who has caused the military f torvention of the United States in 3 affairs of tho State, may be justlj I furred to the Ku Klux and their or) . izers and aiders and abettors, for t r answer. In the foregoing remarke, I have re- fn| Inorantly nsed political designations, SN contrary to what I deem a proper ena tom ?H in a meaaage of the Chief Magistrate of T" the State, who, in bia official capacity, jug should know no party. Bat I found thia SS unavoidable, in treating of these great BB crimea, that sprang solely from political canses; nor can I regard men loyal to % the Government who set its laws at de- Mt fiance, and use every means in their |B power to destroy ita very existence. fi THE TAX PAYEES' OOMVBHYIOH. M In the month of May last, n highly jflj respectable body o! citizens, styling 99 themselves "The Tax-Pay era' Conven- SI tion," assembled at the State capital, for H the ostensible purpose of making inqui- lam sition into the financial administration Bj of the Btate. They were f urn ian ed every ?j faodity to proseante their proposed in- mt vestigation, and the books, records and M papers of the aeveral bureaus in the IQ Executive Department were unreserved? ly laid open to their inspection. The result of this investigation, prosecuted with great diligence, was, that the; gave a reluctant confirmation, in the main, to the official debt statement, which they had primarily assembled to discredit. a Having been requested by the conven? tion, through its committee, to extend . the time for the payoient of taxes, in I the oases of those to whom it was not expedient to pay. or who could not make payment within the proscribed period, I informed them that the tax books would be opened in November for the receipt of taxes, bot, in oases where parties are . unable to pay, or could not pay without a sacrifice, I wonld extend the time to Maroh the first, without the delinquent penalty attaching. I'nrsaanfc to my pro? mise, I have directed the proper officers to grant an extension io every euch case, that may be certified to them by the per? son asking it. MINORITY BEPBBflENTATTOlf. The subject of minority representa? tion engaged the earnest attention of the "Tax-payers' Convention," and they presented many cogent reasons for ita immediate adoption into the elective system of this State. In accordance with my promise to them, I present this important matter for your gravest con? sideration. I recognize the principle of minority representation as both wise and jnst. It secures to the several party divisions iu tbs State a direct and proportional rep? resentation in its administration. It thus institutes a check and balance against that injudicious or oppressive exeroise of power t hat is too apt to ensne where its undivided possession is held by a large party majority. The advan? tages of the system bave been recently exemplified in practice at elections in England and in the States of Pennsyl? vania and Illinois. lu those States, how? ever, citizens divide into parties upon questions merely affecting the State or national policies, and they seek only by legitimate means to elevate to power the exponents of their views. There no man's party affiliation furnishes any just presumption against his loyalty to his conntry, and no citizen who is loyal ia, for that canse, subjected to the hazards of murder, exile and the lash, or the certainty of pnblic and social proscrip? tion. Here, on the contrary, the mino? rity are organized upon a basis which practically calls in question the very principles, and the fondamental law npon which the State and National Go vummonts reposo. The end Bought by the proposed system ooold long since have been practically accomplished, bnt for the bitter spirit of intolerance en? gendered and fostered by party leaders of the opposition among their followers. I have been at all times ready, as ia well known, to co-operate with ail mode? rate men, without regard to party affilia? tions, in securing the election to public office of those only who were worthy and well qualified. My own course in this regard has not only been illustrated by the Executive appointments, bot by the personal aid that I have invariably ex? tended to elevate to pnblic position those native whites who, althongh classed, at the time, with the opposition, were gen? tlemen of character and intelligence, and fair and temperate in their political views. In proot of this, I instauoe, with great gratification, Chief Justice Moses and Circuit Judges ex-Gov. J. Ii. Orr, Green, Melton, Graham and Far? mer, (the last an ad interim Executive appointment, to whose elevation to the bench I gav | ny cordial si p iori ) Theta gentlemeu were all trusteu und tumored under the anoient regime, and will com? pare favorably, iu poiut of perennal cha? racter and capacity, with any citizen of the Slate. I submit, however, for yonr deliberate consideration, whether the men who are now demanding the establishment by law of the system of minority represen? tation, aro entitled to this act of magna? nimity at yonr hands. It is fur you to determine whether the line of policy pursued by them since the adjournment of the Tax-payers' Convention tends to commend the speedy adoption by you of an elective system which must largely in? crease t ie number of those in the Gene? ral Assembly who are hostile to our sys? tem of free government.
