NATT ANS* CRYSTAL DISCOVERY
FOR THE BAIR*
APERFECTLY clear preparation In one
bottle, as easily applied as water, for re?
storing to Gray Hair its natural color and
youthful appearance; to eradioate and pre?
vent dandruff; to promote tho growth of the
Hair and atop its falling ont. IT IS ENTTOSLY
HABILL?ES and perfeotly free from any poison?
ous Bubatanoe, and wul therefore tako tbe
plaee of all the dirty and unpleasant prepara?
tions now in .ase. Numerous testimonials
h?ve been sent ns from many of our most
imminent citizens. In ovorything in wbioh
he articles now. in use are objectionable.
Crystal Discovery is pe rf cot. It is warranted
to contain neither Sugar of Lead. Sulphur or
Nitrate ot Silver. It does not soil the clothes
or scalp, ls agreeably perfumed and makes
one of the best dressings for the Hair in use.
It restores tho color of the Hair "more per?
fect and uniformly than any othei' prepara?
tion," and always does so in from three to ten
days, virtually feeding tho roots of the Hair
with all the nourishing qualities necessary to
ita growth and healthy condition; it restores
the decayed and inducen now growth of the
Hair more positively than anything else. The
application of this wonderful discovery also
produces a pleasant and cooling effect on tho
soalp, and gives the Hair a pleasing and ele?
gant appearance.
We call especial attention to the faot that a
limited number of amall trial bottles can be
bad by those wishing to try it. You will no?
tion that in pursuing this course, our aim is
to convince bv the actual merita of tbeartiole.

Ger?. Scott's Annual Dlcnage, Concluded.
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

In the following letter, addressed to tl

of procoss prove inadequate to make

- tho State Executive can properly in

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

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.
