COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Mo^nintr, May 21, 1872. Gen. ?I. B. Kerthawon tho Situation, We publish elsewhere a letter of recent date, written by Qen. Kershaw to a friend, upon the course to be pursued by the white people of the State in the Pre? sidential campaign. The letter will be read with interest by all who. have the welfare of tho State at heart. The un? selfish devotion to South Carolina, tho commanding ability and the eminently pore and manly character of Gen. Ker? shaw, attach weight to any utterances of a pablio nature whioh he may make, and eooure for them the eager attention of tho people. It will be found that the writer maintains that the imperativo and immediate duty of the citizens of South Carolina is to redeem the State-to pargo and reform our local government. Upon this point we pr?same there is no difference of opinion. The chief con? cern which every one feels ia the cha? racter of the next administration of the General Government, is the effect it may have to relieve us of or to perpetuate the deadly evils of carpet-bag misrule. Laboring ' under the emailing weight of the injuries that oppress us here at home, and conscious of the impending ruiu from, which we can rationally entertain scarcely a hope of escape, wo view with comparative indifference the straggle to bo made upon issues of a national cha? racter, and which affect us only indirectly and remotely. The General disapproves of the resus? citation of the Democratic party in the State as impotent for good and likely to work harm in the effort which it is hoped will be made within tho ranks of the Re? publican party to give us a more honest, economical and efficient State Govern? ment. Few will disagree with him here. As an agenoy for good, tho Democratic party has no longer any power in South Carolina. The colored people have an in? superable antipathy to that party, not sur? prising nor al together irrational ; and they have the controlling voice in the govern? ment of the State, whether they exercise it for good or for bad. The Democratic party ia, therefore, au obstacle in the way of establishing those relations of friendship and mutual confidence be? tween the races, which must bu estab? lished before any permanent health can be imparted to the body politic. We say, then remove it, but with gentle hands, for there cluster around it memo? ries too sacred and tender to admit of rode or ruffian touoh. We will join with ?ad satisfaction in Binging its requiem. The analogy is so strong that we will risk the blasphemy, and Bay that though the body perish, its soul will live; and we doubt not that if, in time to come, the Democratic party be needed, some Gabriel will be found, and maybe a colored one, at that, to blow the resur? recting cull. Nene, we take it, will object to the quiet interment of the body at this time, unless it be Mr. Stokes, of Greenville. The next point General' Kershaw touch CB upon is the sending of delegates to the Baltimore Convention, which he thinks should not be done. This is with us a mooted question. Tho induce? ment to' send delegates is manifest. We wish to prevent ? Democratic nomina? tion, if possible. South Carolina will have fourteen votes, and these might de? cido the oouvention in favor of support? ing Greeley and Brown. On tho other hand, if we send delegates, and the con? vention determines to place Democratic nominees in the field, are we not bound to abide the decision, and to do what we can to promote the success of the tiokct? and will we do it? If there are any Domocrats in the State prepared for the alternativo that presents itself, let them go by all means, and cast their votes in favor of the en? dorsement of the Cincinnati nomination. We agree with General Kershaw, too, in advising the white people of the State to observo a strict neutrality io the Pre? sidential campaign, in so far, at least, aB not to originate any movement among themselves in. favor of any particular candidate. Bnt we cannot indulge even that faint glimmer of hope whioh he seems to cherish, that any good oan oome from Grant. Grant's chief charac? teristic is dogged perseverance upon whatever lino of conduct he has once entered. He has encouraged, sympa? thized with, and even supported with his bayonets, the rotten and rascally reg imo which controls South Carolina, .nd he will continuo to do so as longeas he has the power, and as long aa he con? ceives it to be his interest to do so. When be holds up, it will be because he cannot longer oppress us, or because he fears the Northern people, whoso voice is even now strong in denunciation of the role assumed by the present Admini? stration towards the reconstructed States. If ho becomes exasperated becauso wo prefer Horace Greeley to bim, and choose to seek a little pleasant variety from the monotony of the sad thoughts that oppress un, by flinging up our hats for the old farmer of Ghappaqua, let him be exasperated and be- well, we wont say what-bot let him be exaspe? rated. We scarcely think that he can indulge in the pleasure of being exaspe? rated against us any longer. Johu Bull is giving him a dose now that will last him to grumble about and exasperate himself over Tor the balance of his life; For him to turn from this and endeavor to pat on "consequential" airs towards Horace Greeley, or a few miserable rebels that may hurrah for his old white hat down here in South Carolina, would make him the laughing stock of tho world. Of course, it would be useless for the white people to make any demonstra? tions in favor of Horace Greeley, unices there is a prior movement among the colored people. This, though not oer tain, ia not impossible nor improbable. Horace Greeley bas been laboring all his life, from the time when an abolitionist was as muoh of a rarity at the North as an honest official is now in South Caro? lina, to secure equal rights for the co? lored people. If they turn their backs upon him, now that they have the first opportunity of displaying their appre? ciation of .his services, they will convict themselves of the most shameless in? gratitude. Wo are certain they will not, if left to the guidance of their own good sense; and we think, farther, that they are sufficiently advanced in political ex? perience to cat looso in a moasnro from those who have misguided them in the past. If the reform wing of the Repub? lican party in the State take up Greeley, whioh is the most natural and proper thing for them to do, then the white people will join in and give such a rousing push from behind as to sweep tho State and send the old philosopher with a rush into the front door of the White House, as Grant sneaks out be? hind. If the darkies will not do any? thing for Uncle Horace, we eau then vote for the best Republicans for State officers, and content ourselves with hur? rahing for Horace, though we can do nothing to help him. MORE ANNEXATION.-Ii a report from London is to ba Credited, our Adminis? tration has again been seized with the annexation fever, but this time tho coveted real estato is situated in a cooler latitude than San Domingo. It is ru? mored that several of the Kurile islands, iu the North Pacific, will be leased tb the United States. Tho islands, twenty five in number, extend from Kamtschat? ka to Japan. Tho three Southernmost belong to Japan, and the others to Rus? sia. The islands are thinly inhabited by a people of the Mongolian race, who are chiefly employed in fishing. They have but ooe good harbor, and would be of no possible use to aa except perhaps as a naval station. But if the inhabitants of the island have heard of the enslave? ment under the American flag of their neighbors of the far-seal islands, we think they will be opposed to a change of masters. -<-??-? Among the r?solutions adopted at the reoent Sunday Sohool Convention, in Charleston, are the following: Whereas we regard the Sunday sohool a great auxiliary to the ohnroh, and es? sential to the religious eduoation of the young; and whereas we feel it our duty to encourage every practical effort to in? crease its interest and build np this in? stitution throughout the State and coun? try; therefore, be it Resolved, '?'hat this Convention recom? mend an annual Sunday Sohool Conven? tion in each of the Counties of this State, to be held at snob time and place as may be most conducive to the inter? est of the Snnday sohool cause. Resolved, That this Convention recog? nizes in the American Sunday Sohool Union a sooiety whose broad catholic spirit recommends it to the prayerful consideration of all Christians. Resolved, That wo commend its agent, the Rev. T. H. Legare, to the sympa? thies of every friend to the Sunday sohool cause throughout the State. Resolved, That the State Convention of South Carolina be called together by tho executive committee at snoh time and place, in the spring of the year 1875, as will enable it to compl?te its sessions Srior to the time of the meeting of the [atiooal Convention. Resolved, That at said Stato Conven? tion delegates be appointed to represent Sooth Carolina in the National Conven? tion. A hotel to cost $20,000,000 is proposed in Chicago. It will be constructed en* tiroly of iron, ten stories in height, and will cover fonr entire blooks-with grand arches over the intervening streets. Bazaars are to occupy the first story, and elevators at every corner. It is intended that the rates will be from 810 to $1 per diem, aooordiog to thestory, so tbatpeo plo of limited means, as well a# those possessing wealth, oan bo accommodated in elegant stylo. C. C. Bowen and R. O. DeLarge are in Beaufort, engaged in taking testimony in their contested eleotion case. What Mr. Sumner Think?. j Mr. Sumner baa never identified him? self clearly -with the Liberal Republi? cans, though he hoe been aa instru? mental as any in exposing the corrup? tions of Grant's administration and denouncing the President's nepotism aud unfitness to fill creditably the high position he occupies. He is known to be the implacable foo of Grant, and as the nomination "of the latter at Philadel? phia is a foregone conclusion, it is very evident that Mr. Sumner will not throw his influence against Greeley, at least. He would be a powerful ally of Mr. Greeley. Tho colored people havo such a regard for aud confidence in him, that wo fool oonvinced the Greeley and Brown ticket would carry every Southern State, if Mr. Sumner would declare in its favor, and make a few speeches iu South Caro* lina, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. He is probably awaiting with a little hope the remote possibility of Grant's being defeated, and some definite decla? ration being made upon his civil rights hobby by the Philadelphia Convention. Wo think he will be disappointed upon both points, and hopo then to seo bim take the field emphatically for Groeley. He would be of moro service iu thc ap? proaching campaign thau any ten of the Republicans who have lingered to sup? port Grant's tottering fortunes. Since the Cincinnati Convention, he has ob? served the most guarded sileuoo us to his future course, but he has lately ex? pressed hi3 opinion upon a portiou of tho Liberal platform, and upon the rela? tive worth and prospects of Greeley and Grant, in a way that shows all his pre? ferences to be iu favor of the former. A correspondent of tho Now York Herald reports bim as speaking iu conversation as follows: "The turill" plank nt Cincinnati was the fairest and frankest I have ever met with in my experience of political con? ventions. Heretofore, such terms have been used as a judicious tariff, a tax affording incidental protection, ic, whereby politicians could d?magogue one way in Pennsylvania and another way in Virginia. The Liberal Republi? cans at Cincinnati made a compromise, liberal and honest, confessing that they could not deal in muss conveution with the question, and remanding it to tho people. The issue, therefore, lost none of its importance, and the Convention none of its liberal, fraternal and national character. I felt that our politics had become moro manly and less prevaricat? ing when I road that plank." The question was then asked, "Mr. Sumner, will you appear iu this cam? paign as a partisan of either Grant or Greeley?" * Mr. Sumner said: I have beon per? fectly neutral. I cannot support Grant and keep my self-respect, or feel that I am giving my friends sound advice. I hope that the contest will be mude a personal ono botweeu the fitness, the qualifications, the record and the law? fulness of the men. If it grow to be purely political, many persons will draw the party line. It is, to my mind, just now, a coutest between tho big letter G and the little g. Grant is the little g. Horaoe Greeley hos been an unselfish, charitable, liberal, philanthropic man. He bas ripened into one period. All parts of the country appreciate bim, and his name ia tho nymboi of good will and lasting peace. I believe that if the issue be made personal and put on the ground of oharaoter, Grant will be hissed out of the field. The Democratic party is re? gaining the confidence of timid mon in the North by its good behavior. The Sooth has gone far to satisfy apprehen? sions in the North by its magnanimity toward Greeley. Nobody oould ever charge Mr. Greeley with nepotism, the sale of his influence, or any mercenary selfishness. I think the big G will crush out the little g. HON. A. P. ALDRICH FOR GREELEY. Judge A. P. Aldrich, of South Carolina, in a letter addressed to J. P. C. White? head, Esq., now of Missouri, says: "I cannot answer for the Democratic party; there has been no meeting of the party in convention; tho only expres? sion of opinion is in tho newspapers; thoBO gonerally acquiesce. For myself, I am very clear that the platform and the nomination should not only be rati? fied, bat that it is bad policy to have a mooting of the Democratio Convention ; it can do no good, and may do much harm. I fear dissension and a split. As the exeoutive committee have, howover, determined to oall the convention, I think tho wisest oourse to bo pursued is to accept tho platform and adjourn with? out reference to the nomiuation. In my opinion, a much better policy for us of the South is to send up no delegates. But I suppose this is hardly possible. "lu my opinion it is not only the plain duty of ttye State, but of the South, to support tho platform and ratify the nomiuation by Declamation. I think a meeting of the Democratio Convention such .fi dangerous experiment tbat I earnestly advise these down-trodden Southern people to keep out of it. Oar experience in New York, four years ago, is,fresh in my memory." The New York Herald of Friday says: "The State Treasurer of South Carolina is in the city, and is completing the final arrangements with the Commercial Warehouse- Company of this oity, for the registration of tho bonds and stooks of the State of South Carolina. A law was enaoted by the late General Assembly of the State requiring registration, and no interest ls to bo paid by tho State au? thorities until tho bonus or stocks are registered." Letter from Gen, .1. B? Kershaw. CAMDEN, 8. G.. May 14, 1872. MY DEAR SIB: I am io receipt of jour valued favor, and gladly avail myself of the opportunity you afford rae of ex? pressing my views of tho polioy proper to be pursued by our people in the pre? sent emergeucy. I esteem it our first duty to seek tho rescue of the State from ruia and bank? ruptcy, and the consequent expatriation of many of her beat people. Oar action in general politics should be controlled by this prime necessity. If we can pro? mote the establishment of a better Go? vernment at Washington, it is our duty to do BO, chiefly because it will relieve our people from Federal oppression, and oheok the misrule of tho ?tate Govern? ment, now emboldened by tho counte? nance and supposed sympathy of the General Government. If, however, our participation in the Presidential canvass will at all impair our power to wrest tho State from the plunderers who now con? trol her destinies, we should carefully refrain from it. I believe it to bo our duty to lay aside all party preferences, and, ss citizons of South Carolina, suck her rescue from further ruiu and degra? dation, as a man would fight the fire around bis own domicil before joining his ucigbborH to arrest a general fire iu the woods. If there be any hopo of pre? sent improvement in the State Govern? ment, it is to bo expected from u reform movement within the Republican party. From indications already observed, I am not without hopo that such a move? ment will bo developed, aud that it may assumo such proportions as that it may bo made to succeed by judicious co-ope ratiou on onr part. Should the Repub? lican Convention happily chanoo to no? minate persons promisiug au honest ad? ministration, and having the confidence of our people, the conquest will be less difficult of achievement, but in any event, our assistance, to avail anything, must bu cautiously, quietly and saga? ciously employed. If wo avoid any organization of our people for any political purposo what? ever-if wo refrain from antagonizing tho Republicans of this State cn party questions-if we avoid all irritating col? lisions with the colored people and pur? sue a policy of conciliation-we may seoure such a participation in the affairs of the State as will arrest her impending ruin. This coarse, to my mind, offers the only present prospect of relief. If this fail, it will little matter what policy we pursue. I trust in God that our people will do nothing to hinder the pos? sibility of any such movement, however tempted by alluring hopes or just resent? ment. In tho view of the case which I have presented, wo should take no part in the Presidential election. Tho dominant party would yield nothing to those who oppose their party nominee for Presi? dent. Ia yielding this, we in fact yield nothing but a sentiment. Tho nominee of the Republican party will get the vote of South Carolina, whether we oppose bim or no, and all the more certainly if, and because we do oppose him. If wo refrain from taking our fruitless part in the contest, should the Republi? cans succeed, we will have avoided giv? ing any protext to tho incoming adminis? tration further to oppress and to perse? cute our people, and oar wiso modera? tion will have disarmed much of that prejudice whiah excludes us from parti? cipation in the public affairs of the State. Without such participation, it is vain to hope for any relief. On the other hand, none of tho benefits to ensae from the defeat of the Republican nominee for President can bo averted by the course I have indica tod. The conservatives, if successful, must shape their general policy in accordance with the principles thoy have announced, and must select for Federal office honest and competent men, whatever may be the course pursued by oar people in tho election. We have, theroforo, everything to gain and nothing to lose by non-action. I do not think we are ia a condition just now to throw up our hats for any? body for President, aad consider it un? wise ia a people, situated as we are, to delude ourselves into the belief that we caa mond oar affairs by indulging in any saoh amusement. Let us have nothing to do with this political game, until we can striko with effect. If the Liberal Rep ubi ioiv ns organizo in this State, let them do it. If they do not, oertainly our people could have no reason to organ? ize for the support of Mr. Greeley, unless thoy desired to make his defeat iu this State doubly secare. Tho samo reason? ing would apply much more conclusively against the organization of the Demo? cratic party. In my judgment, wo would commit a fatal blunder even to send dele? gates from this State to the Democratic Convontiou. They would represent a constituency who could not poesibly eleot even one elector, and whoso sup? port would damage tho cause thoy advo? cate. Rut, while powerless for good, saoh aotiou would have a capacity for evil, fatal to aii our hopes of relief within tho State. Nothing oonoeivable, within the rango of probabilities, could so da? mage ns politically, as the revival at this time of the Domooratio party of this State. Oae other point. If Grant be the nominee of the Republicans, he will huvo a greater power for good or for evil to oar unhappy people than any other person or party. It is, perhaps, hope leas to conciliate; but, in view of his possible election, it would be suicidal to exasperate bim by a vain and fruitless opposition. This last consideration you may denounce as unworthy a froo peo? ple. Rut remember, we aro not a free people. While it might be dastardly to suffer our political conduct to be con? trolled by the fear of porsonal cons?? quences, the welfare of the people is the noblest motive of the statesman. Salus populi suprema lex. Very traly yours, J. R. KERSHAW. Hon. SIMEON FAIR, Columbia, S. C. Private sincerity ?a public welfare. Judge Sanford E. Ohnrcti Interviewed*? He Favors Greeley and Brown. The opinion of J udge Char ob, favor* ing the endorsement of the Cincinnati nominations, is particularly significant, ns be is the man selected by the World for the Vice-Presidency on tbe straight Democratic ticket, which tho World scorns so anxious to bring into the field. A correspondent of the World thns re? ports him: The Chief Justice of tho Court of Ap? peals, Sauford E. Church, arrived iu Albany last night, with other members of that court, to organize the court of impeachment in the case of Judge Bar? nard. I called upou him at his rooms at a late hour to obtain, if possible, bis views in regard to the probabilities, pos? sibilities and effect of the Democrats endorsing the nomination of Greeley for President. The name of Mr. Church bas been mentioned by strong and influ? ential parties as tho Democratio candi? date for Pr?sident, and many have thought that be would strongly oppose the endorsement of Mr. Greeley. I found Mr. Church ready aud willing to talk on the subject, and in response to questions pat to him Mr. Chorea said: I am free to say that when I first re? ceived the intelligence of the nomination of Mr. Greoley by the Liberal Republi? cans at Cincinnati, it struck me as a mis? take almost equal to destroying the libe? ral movement, which had sturted off so auspiciously. I have bad no personal acquaintance with Mr. Greely, but from the position which he bas occupied bo foro tho public, and his life-long antago? nism to the Democratio party, I could not for a moment believe that the De? mocracy could ever be induced to sup? port him for tho highest office in the gift of the people, Since then, I have had leisure and time to reflect upon tbe subject; have boen home and have taken some pains to ascertain the feelings of the people, and to obtain its drift of public sentiment. To secure tbi?, I have gone among tho common people and the mea who are not seeking office, and who vote from conscientious duty. I never go to what are called tho political lead? ers, nor the politicians, nor office-seek? ers, when I desire to kuow the public sentiment or drift of opinion, but to the intelligent mechanic, tho farmer and the laboriug man. It is there the chango in public opinion and its drift is first disco? vered, und eau be ascertained more correctly than from any other source. I have taken the trouble to talk with this class of men, drawing them out without expressing any views of my ov.n. In all bhat I have talked with, I have only mot ono man who Bays he will not vote for Mr. Greeley. lu many cases, Democra? tic farmers have said: "It seems queer for us to go for Mr. Greeley, and at first it was a bitter pill; bat if it is necessary to defeat Grant, then we will cheerfully go for him." Others unhesitatingly declared iu favor of the Democratio Convention endorsing Mr. Greeley. It is my opi? nion that the mass of tho Democrats are ready to go for Mr. Greeley, and to my surprise, I found the Irish voters almost unanimous for him. Q.--Do you think it policy for tho Rochester Convention to make an open declaration in favor of Mr. Greeley? Mr. Church-At first, I thought the course of tho World the correct one-to hold oil any expression of opinion until the National Convention; that there was danger of our going too far in that direc? tion; but I am now of the opinion that the Rochester Convention Bhould recog? nize the action at Cincinnati, and speak of it with all the encouragement possi? ble, and go as far as we can go without a square endorsement of the ticket, which 'should be left to the National Conven? tion, which alone bas the authority to speak for the entire Democratic party of the nation. The impression left upon my mind was, that be believed that the endorse? ment ol the nomination of Mr. Greeley by tbe Democracy isras fast beocssing certain, whether the leaders were for it or not. . . The United States Supreme Court has given a decision which is intended to define the American dootrino as to the relations of church and Stato. Tbe case before the court was that of a Presbyte? rian Church in Louisville, which had be? come divided through old troubles relat? ing to slavery and the civil war. After various proceedings before the estab? lished tribunals of the church-the Presbytery, tbe Synod and tho General Assembly-tho dispute was taken into the courts; first into the State courts of Kentucky, and afterward to the United States Circuit Court; the decisions ia the Stato courts being all in favor of one party, and in the United States Court of tho other. Finally, the case was brought before tbe Supreme Court of the United States, which deoided, substantially, that no court hos power to interfere with the action of the General Assembly, whioh is the supreme judicatory of the Presby? terian Church. Its decisions, whether right or wrong, must be aocepted aa final in all oburoh matters, and oivil tribunals bave not the autbority oven to inquire whotber, under the constitution, the oburob, tbe Assembly has jurisdic? tion over oases brought before it, or whether its aotion is in conformity to the rules and precedents of the church. From this, it would appear that in any church the decision of the ecoleaiostioal judicatory wbioh is recognized aa of the highest autbority, oannot be over-ruled by any civil oonrt.
