Senator B?j*wrd In Fuvor of Greeley
unil Brown.
The following lutter hus been ad?
dressed by Senator Bayard to a friend in
Delaware:
Mr DEAII Sin: Tho peremptory orders
of my physicians compel me to obtain
absolute rest and quiet, and, for this pur?
pose, to leave the country. My passage
has been engaged, and I shall Bail for
Europe on Saturday, tho 13th instant.
Although u-i?ttcd by my condition of
health, I felt it to be my duty to go to
Baltimore as a delegate to the Conven?
tion; aud it is iu relation to the action oi
that body that I WIBII a few words with
you, and, through you, to my other party
friends in Delaware, before I leave. I
ueed not say to you or to them with
what astonishment and disappointment I
heard of tho nomination cf Greeley and
Brown at Cincinnati, nor how steadily
aud openly I havo ut ult times expressed
myself iu opposition to the adoption of
that ticket by the Democratic party at
Baltimore. But the result hus been ac?
complished, however much against our
will aud efforts, aud it is our duty, calmly
and steadily, to confront the fact now
presented to our eyes.
If the issues of tho campaign were
those only of revenue reform, of civil
service reform-questions in which pecu?
niary loss or gain to the public were in?
volved-I might bo williug to take no
part iu the Presidential contest, but al?
low tho demoralizing course pursued by
Grunt and his Administration to be con?
tinued four years longer, trusting that
tho very extent and flagitious nature of
the notorious abuses would in themselves
so instruct the people thar, they would
recoil from placing further trust ia such
hands.
The natural capacities of tho soil and
ch?m?tes of our country, together with
the industry aud energies of our people,
render the production of wealth (mere
wealth) almost boundless, and we cac
almost afford to bear the results ol
linancial blunders, and, so long ns tbej
aro confined to ollidul circles, of public
robberies aud peculations, provided we
can iu the eud buy our experience
through the usual methods of loss ami
bullering. But, severe and painfu
though theso abuses aud their conse
quenues may be, they weigh, to me
lightly, compared to tho destruction o
all the limitations upon power which om
written Constitution o? Government wai
designed to create, aud which Geuera
Graut and thoso who assist bim iu ad
ministering the Government, iucludiui
tho Radical majorities in both houses o
Congress, eeem either to totally disre
gard, or, as I havo sometimes thought
to take u scoruful pleasure in trampliui
uuder foot.
It is utterly impossible fur me, will
the scenes which 1 have witnessed in th
Senate of the Uuited States rising be
fore my eyes, not tu feel the gravest ap
prehensions and alarm at uuy prospec
or suggestion of allowing the policy o
Grant, and his administration toward th
Southern States and their white inhabit
nuts longer tu continue, if any honorabl
act of miue eau tend to uvert so great
calamity.
Can any man justly deny that th
condition of the peuple in the liheuis
pruviuces, torn from Frauce by th
armed baud of Germauy, is preferabl
to-day iu all that protects person an
property, to that of the white people i
many of the Southern States uuder tl
governments which Congress has set u
over them under the so-called system <
reconstruction, and which Grant has U|
held either by threats of the bayonet e
its actual presence iu those commun
ties? He und his party have stood t
fur the iast three years, and have see
the South robbed, iusulted, and almo
beggared by a motley crew, all uf h
own political party of unprincipled p
liticul adventurers from tho North, ac
ignorant and vicious negroes of tl
native population, and have uttered i
word of disapproval; but, on. the co
trary, have from time tu time lent tl
military power of the Government (as
tho cases of the troups sent upon upp
cation of Governor Holden, of Nor
Carolina, of Soott, of South Carolina,
his own brother-in-law, Casey, in Ni
Orleans,) to maintain iu power the
rapacious and dishonest rulers whom t
sufferings and discontent of their peoj
wore threatening to eject from office a
power.
Now, whether I approve Mr. Greel
personally or no, whether he had or c
been the steady and violent opponent
tho political principles and measu
which you and I have been upholding
our lives, yet if he has become, with
against uur action or wishes, the mi
likely or practical means of restorin,
better condition of feeling in tho No:
toward the South, and restoring scour
and justice to that oppressed regioE
should feel myself as au American, wi
out regard to tho name of party, 1
without the sacrifice of any conviction
relation to my political principles, cc
pelted to assist in placing him in pot*
I say nothing now of his qualificatif
or personal fitness for the place; I h
spoken of them heretofore, and agai
my wishes and judgment the represei
tives of the party have placed him in
candidacy. If there was any practico
means of dec ti ng a mau better fitted
the place, and one whose political cai
hus been iu harmony with your vi
and mine, I need not say to yon thi
should strive to see such a one chos
but tho current of popular opiuioi
this vast country takes strange aud efl
times untoward directiuns, and for g
or ill sweeps us with it.
Sixty days agu the cendition of efl
we now wituess would have been deei
incredible, aud any mau would 1:
laughed ut, as absurd and impossi
what wo now see in fact and substai
Events as they now confront ns v
shaped in opposition to our efforts,
as they aro we uro nut responsible
th*ni; but wu urti responsible for
mode of dealing with them now; at
hope our State Cunventiun will prut
ly and decidedly uumiuato au elect
ticket in opposition to Grant and Wilson,
aud iu favor of the only candidates who,
as matters DOW stund, eau be hopefully
expected to defeat thom-I mean Gree?
ley and Brown, for whom I expect to
vote on the 5th day of November next.
I hope to return home by the middle
of September, with my health restored
and enabled to tuke part in the political
o invas8.
The subject to which this letter relates
has given me a great deal of anxiety and
distress, which I know is shared by thou?
sands of true men of tho same political
party in this State; but I believe that
my decision is the right one, aud I k?ow
that it is founded upon honest motives.
TbiH only alternativo to a whole or half?
way aid to Grant's re-election may be
hurd for UH to adopt, but I tbiuk it our
duty, and so I trust will you and the
entire Democracy of Delaware. Your
friend, sincerely, T. F. BAYARD.
WILMINGTON, July ll, 1872.
THE BOND-HOLDEKS IN COUNCIL-THE
Sourn CAROLINA. RING TO BE PROSECUTED
-THEIR PROPERTY IN NEW YORK TO RE
SEIZED.-An adjourned meeting of th.;
holders of tbe bonds of Mouth Carolina
was held at the office of Drake Brothers,
No. G3 Broadway, at noon yesterday,
with a view of taking some united action
looking to tbe enforced payment of the
interest on the bouds held in this city.
At the previous meeting it was clearly
shown that the resources of tbe State
were abundantly sufficient to meet the
indebtedness, were the Treasury not
systematically robbed by the carpet bag?
gers.
A. A. Drake acted as Chairman. After
the reading of the minutes of tbe previ?
ous meeting by Goodwin Ward, Secre?
tary, a letter was read from a gentleman
in Baltimore, reporting that he bought
bonde at 65, and when they declined to
5U, he wrote to Governor Scott, asking
if anything was wrong. The Governor
responded that the State was able to pay.
The letter refers to the commencement
of legal proceedings to compel Scott and
bis associates to disgorge; but they were
deferred by the sudden death of Mr.
Brent, tho counsel for tbe Baltimore
bond-holders. It appears that Mr. Brent
bad ascertained where a large amouut of
the stolen money could be foand, and
he intended to continue both criminal
and civil proceedings, looking to the
punishment of the offenders and tbe re?
covery of the money misapplied.
A lengthy legal opinion on the subject
of the rights of the creditor to recover
from the l?tate was read from ex-Go v.
Magrutb, who advises that a bill be filed
in the Uuited States Court to compel the
agents of the State to make a statement
of the disposition of the funds, and that
a prayer be added for an injunction re?
straining them from further misappro
priaion. The Governor, who is one of
the ablest jurists of South Carolina,
gives it as bia opinion that the creditors
would in time recover, although it would
require lengthy litigation..
The following resolutions were offered:
"Resolved, That a committee of three
persons, to consist of ?. A. Quiutaicl,
E. B. Wesley and A. A. Drake, be ap?
pointed to solicit the co-operation of the
owners and holders of the bonds of the
State of South Carolina in the attempt
to collect the past due coupons, with au?
thority to engage counsel to commence
legal proceedings against the officers of
the State on its legal financial bond.
Also, to raise funds by subscription to
promote such proceedings without delay.
"Resolved, That all parties interested
be earnestly requested to assist said com?
mittee by as early subscription as possi?
ble."
Mr. W. R. Darling moved as a substi?
tute that a committee be appointed to
confer with the bond-holders and report
at another meeting, which was carried.
The committee consists of Messrs. E. A.
Quintard, E. B. Wesley, William R.
Darling and A.QA. Drake, as ex officio
members.
Mr. C. E. Chichester, of Charleston,
declared that all tbe taxes have been col?
lected, often three times over; that they

that for want of funds there is not a
public school open in the entire State;
that the lunatics have been turned out
of the asylum, Bent back to their re?
spective Counties, where they run wild;
that the inmates of the prisons have been
turned ont, and the people were poor,
ruined, in fact. It was necessary, if any
uction be taken, that it be at once, as
the gubernatorial election occurs in Oc?
tober, and tba ring thieves, who are
building palaces in Ohio and other
States, will not remain in the State.
Several other gentlemen, including
Messrs. Herbert aud Underbill, urged
immediate action. Mr. Underbill re?
ported that they intended to take out I
executions on property in this County
owned by the ring.
The committee were instructed to re?

Not satisfied with sustaining and up?
holding the carpet-bag plunderers in |
North Carolina, until they have increased
the debt of that Slate from $14,000,000
to over $38,000,000, the Graut Adminis?
tration is now taking funds from the
publio treasury at Washington, and send?
ing it into that State os a corruption
fund. The Graut Radical robbers in
that State have un idea that there is a
little moro loft for them to steal, if they
have auotber opportunity; so Grant
takes the people's money nt Washington
and scuds it down there to help put bis
North Carolina friends in a position
where they cnn steal all there is left. lu
return for this favor, they ure to help

THE NEW CHURCH ON SULLIVAN'S ISL?
AND.-The new Presbyterian Church on
Sullivan's Island was dedicated yester?
day morning, in the presence of a large
congregation. The services were con?
ducted by the Rev. John Forrest, pastor
of the Scotch Presbyterian Church of
this city, who delivered an impressive
and appropriate sermon, and preached
again in tbe afternoon. Although dedi?
cated as a Presbyterian Church, it is in?
tended for the use of all evangelical de?
nominations; and it is the desire of the
gentlemen who have been instrumental
in ita construction to have the pulpit al?
ternately filled by the various city di?
vines included in that category. This
church fills a want long felt by the isl?
ander], aud its completion is hailed with
much pleasure.-Charlestoix News.

ing 50,000,000 postal cards, anthorized
under the recent Act of Congress, with
the option of increasing the number to
100,000,000. Detters are daily received
at the Department asking when the
cards will be ready. New York mer?
chants have made application for over
2,000,000, whioh are to be used as
advertising oards. Firms in Boston,
Providence, Philadelphia, Pittsburg.
Cincinnati, St. Louis, and, in fact, all
the large cities, have similar requests
filed, and it is believed that at least one
half of the first lot will be immediately
disposed of to corporations and business
houses, to be used as a cheap means of
advertising.
