money was found on the person of one

conclusively establishes the fact that the
men had no political fooling whioh would
have prompted the assassination of his
Majesty, but were merely the hired in?
struments of a politioal conspiracy.
Previous to the attempt at assassination,
the King had received au anonymous
communication, warning him that his
life was iu danger. When the attaok on

The arjDOXod letter, any? tue Baltimore
Sun, in regard to South Carolina, its
people, their disposition and prospects,
is interesting, aud gives refutation to
muoh that has been alleged against the
people of that State in justification of
the continued persecutions practiced to?
wards tbem. It is from a gentleman
who is a Republican in politics, and not
a native of South Carolina, but of Mary?
land, who, being a Unionist during the
war, has since made his homo in South
Carolina:
COLUMBIA, S. C., May 31, 1872.
Wm. L. Southard, Esq.-DEAR SIB:
Your letter of the 15th iustant reached
me several days ago, and would have re?
ceived an earlier attention, but for press
inn official engagements. I am glad to
have an opportunity to give my views
briefly on the several subjects mentioned
i in your letter. And first as to the cli?
mate here. It is mild and salubrious. I
do not think it surpassed in theso re?
spects anywhere on this oontinent. Pro?
fessor M. La Borde, in his Physiology,
while speaking of climate and mineral
waters, says: "It will be gratifying to
the Southern community to know that
we hate in the Stutesof South Carolina,
North Carolina and Georgia as fine a cli?
mate, perhaps, as can be found in the
world, and mineral waters whioh will
compare favorably with those of the
highest celebrity." Diseases generally
are of a much milder form than they are
in tho more Northern latitudes, and
many diseases that are very prevalent
and very fatal in the North aro almost
entirely unknown here. I am certain
that neither consumption, pneumonia,
pleurisy, nor any of the forms of ca?
tarrh, nor rheumatic aod neuralgio affeo
tions, are anything like as prevalent oi
as severe here as they are in colder eli
mates, and of course far less fatal.
As to the effect of the climate of tbii
locality upon Northern people who setth
here, I can best answer that question bi
stating that there are about fifty North
ern families living in Columbia, wh<
have Bottled hore ?ince the close of th<
late war, and I am sure I am safe in say
ing there has not been overa half doze)
deaths in these families since their resi
dence here. Nay, there is less sicknes
in Northern families residing here thai
there is in the families of the natives
Whether this is because Northern peopl
bring with them healthier syuieins um
more vigorous constitutions than the ol
residents possess, thus enabling Iber,
tho better to resist disease, or wbethe
there is something in tho habits of th
Northman that gives him an advautag
in this respect over the Southron "to tb
manor born," I am not prepared to sa]
the fact, however, is none the less trut
whatever may be the explanation of i
My experience and observation, then
fore, teaoh me to conclude that the cl
mate of this region is fully as friendly I
the stranger as it is to the native.
Now, as to the personal safety i
Northern mou who settle here. This
a subject embracing each a wide field i
circumstances that I might dilate ape
it almost to endless exteot. Bot so mue
has already been said in this oonneotic
in the newspapers, pro and con., by po!
tioiaus, for political effect, that tho pe
plo have learned to look with auspicie
apon everything that is said upon tb
subject, and to take the honest views
unprejudiced minds BB mere politic
clap-trap, that I forbear to say more thi
that I have lived here nearly six yeai
have mingled as much, perhaps moi
with the people tban any other Northe
man here; have met with gentlem
from every part of the State, many
whom wore most earnest in their sn
port of the Confederate cause, havi
sacrificed their entire fortunes upon t
altar of their political faith, and I ha
not heard a single expression, with o
or two exceptions, that might be cc
strued into opposition to honest,
spectable Northern men settling he
I have tried to bo au impartial observ
and from all the data that I have be
able to collect, my logic forces me to t
conclusion that an honest man, oe
Jew or Gentile, como from where ho m
and whatever bo his creed, who tries
make an honest living iu a decent v
through any of the multitudiw
legitimate avenues of business, ia ju:,'
safo here from personal violence ns
would bo in Massachusetts or New Ye
I know that thore have been rai
outrages and acts of violence commit
here of late, but theso difficulties
purely political. Tho people of
South have not been able to recon
themselves to the new order of thi
here. They cannot believe that i
right and just and most promotive
the public good that tho ignorant,
illiterate and the corrupt should na
and administer the laws, while the ii
ligent and educated pay the taxes-1
all the expenses of the State, wit!
having any voice in the administra
of its affairs. And ia it surprising
they should feel some unkindness tov
those who thus deprive them of m
dearest privileges? "Love your enea
bless them that ourse you, do gooc
them that hate you, and pray for t
that despite!olly use you and perse
you," is beautiful enough in theory,
hard to praotioe. "Do nato other
you would that others should do i
you," is, in my opinion, muoh bi
advice, and, if followed by those
aspire to mould and direct publio s
meat, there would be less oause
bitterness between factions, less G
between neighbors, and more cool
mont and happiness among the ma
because more poaoeful and more proi
ons.
In view of all tho circumstances
devastation cf their country, the des
tion of their homes by the iron he
the war, the loss of property, thor
scent from wealth aod ease to poi
aod hardships, defeat iu battle, ec
of their long cherished and foi
hopes, their own degradation and
elevation to places of power aud pi
meat of their former slaves, whom
were taught to regard as only fl
"hewers of wood aud drawers of water,"
the abridgment or deprivation of their
political privileges, I thiuk the Southern
people have behaved with u good deal of
forbearance. Though some political out?
rages have be'.n committed, what people
auder the sun, subjected to tho same
provocations, would not have done ss
much and more? Reverso the resulta of
the war, and impone upon tho people of
the North the ?amo onerous and to them
odious bnrtheoB that the people hore
have had to endure; in a word, suppose
we transfer thu whole set of circum?
stances under which the Southern com?
munity bas lived since the war, and is
still living, to the loyal, law-abiding
North, and think you that all would bo
borne meekly and tamely, without any
exhibition of feeling-no murmur
against oppressive and unequal govern?
ment, no breach of tba public peace?
Would the Northern people servilely
stoop and kiss the rod that smote them?
Not if I know them properly. And I
tell you that haman nature is the same
in South Carolina that it is in other parts
of the world. Yon may say that the
Southern people are themselves respon?
sible for their misfortunes. Be it so.
Does that make them any the less mis?
fortunes, or soften in the least the mise?
ries they entail? If you cast a stone
against a resisting surfaco and it re?
bounds and fractures ono of your limbs,
is the pain any less acute because you
threw the stone yourself?
I am no apologist for the Southern
people, nor do I pretend to justify the
political outrages committed here; my
notions of Republicanism are utterly at
war with such practices. I was a soldier
iu the Uuited States army during the
war, and no man rejoiced more than I
did at the downfall of the Confederacy,
because it re-established the integrity
and mprnmrtp.y of the Federal Union.
But this does not warrant the annihila?
tion of the enemy after he has laid down
his arms and tn ado an honorable surren?
der.
I am .".Iso a Republicau, and am iden?
tified with the party here; but this is nc
reason why I should stigmatize those
who oppose the political principles which
I espouse as traitors and murderers, and
unworthy to bo trusted with the public
weal, aud unentitled to the privileges ol
freo citizens.
The point I want to make is this: Thal
the only persons the Southern people art
inimical to are venal and unprincipled
politicians, who, under the misuomer ol
Republicanism, seek to force obnoxiou:
and oppressive measures upon the peo
pie, for their own aggrandizement, re
gardless of the public good.
Your next question-namely, opportu
nities for business-is more difficult tc
answer. The professions are all crowded
Merchants complain of bard times am
dull business, (but this does not provi
anything, it is a fashion of theirs-forci
of habit, perhaps.) A large number o
persons, reduced by the war from afflu
euoe to comparative poverty, and whi
never before kuow what it was to labo
in any capacity, being now compelled ti
earn their living "by the sweat of thei
brows," pretty well supply the demnm
for labor, both mental and manual. Still
I cannot bat think that with the in
creased development of the natural re
sources of the country, which aro variei
and abundant; the progress of interna
improvements, which the spirit of th
age demands shall go forward; the build
iug of new lines of railroads and tele
graphs, the establishing of manufaotc
ries, &c, Sec., lhere is room enough fo
all who may desire to lind homes in thi
sunny clime.
To those who may wish to turn thei
attention to the cultivation of the soil,
would 8 ty, come to South Carolina, an
come at once. No section of our com
try offers better inducements for invesi
monte in real estate than does this. Lan
cuu bu purchased here for from oue do
lar up to twenty dollars per acre, nu
snug littlo homes of from twenty I
sixty acres aud upwards, with comfoi
able residences, can bo had for S 1,000 I
$3.000, and largo tracts of land stiitab
for sub-dividing iuto small can bo bougl
at exceedingly low figures.
I am satisfied that us BOOU as tho U|
heavings of society consequent upon tl
war can have time to subside, and peai
resumes once moro her wonted swa;
aud the natural advantages of tho Soul
become more generally known, cute
prising, home-seeking thousands w
pour into her borders from all parts
the world.
And when they como with honesty
purpose-come to help build up t!
broken fortunes of tho State; come
people her unoccupied lands, and to ct
tivate and enrich her wasted fields,
rebuild her burnt cities aud to foui
new ones; to make tho shores of b
splendid water courses ring with t
busy hum of machinery; to fell h
mighty forests, and to dig down into t
bowels of the earth, and bring up h
rich metals, and refine them and apr.
them to the various uses of man-th
can I guarantee them a hearty welcoi
from the whole people, and respect, a
sooial oonfidenoe, and consideration.
I would add, that thoso who once ma
their homes here are never willing
leave, if they find suitable means of int
ing a living. There is a obarm in t
olimato, and a fascination in the beat
and luxuriousness of the plants a
flowers, that must awaken even t
dullest natures to admiration, and attn
them to the country. I have known I
one person who settled here since t
war to get dissatisfied and leave, an.
confidently expect to see him back hi
before the end of auother winter.
Hoping that I have answered all yi
questions fairly and honestly, with<
doing violence to the feelings or o
nions of any fair-minded man, I n
very respectfully, J. F. ENSOR

MEETING OF THE SOOTH CAROLINA
BOND HOLDERS-PLENTY OF SYMPATHY,
DOT LITTLE MONEY.-Au ndjouroed meet
iug of tbe holders of South Carolina
bunds took plane yesterday, at the office
of Drake & Brother, 66 Broadway, with
a view of taking some eonoerted actiou
for the oolleetion of the over-due inte?
rest on these bonds and tho prosecution
of the Stute officers who have misappro?
priated the funds collected for the carry?
ing on of the State Government. Mr.
A. A. Drake ocoapied the chair, and
called the meeting to order a few miuates
after noon. There were but thirteen
persons present at fifteen minutes after
the hour named for the meeting.
Mr. E. A. Quintard reported that there
had buen some subscriptions made to?
ward tbe fund necessary to employ coun?
sel to couduot the prosecution. Mr.
Drake said they had reaeived letters con?
veying sympathy, but no funds. "Others
think that wo are running this in the in?
terest of the South Carolina ring. We
propose to commence proceedings as
soon us the per centage on 8500,000 is
subscribed." Mr. Quintard stated that
names representing $300,000 had been
secured to the list.
Mr. Lewis offered a resolution, that tho
Secretary publish a notice in all the
leading papers, calling upon all holders
of South Carolina bonds to call at the
office of Drake Brothers and contribute
one per cent, of the amonntof the bonds
held by them. When a sufficient sub?
scription to justify it be made, a meeting
be called, and the counsel authorized to
commence proceedings. He spoke for
some minutes upon the resolution; de?
clared that the Governor and the finan?
cial agents of the State were amenable to
the law, and the Governor had property
within the reach of the Federal Court.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. Broadwell offered a resolution,
instructing the committee to ask the
co-operation of bond-holders in other
cities.
Mr. Chichester, of Sooth Carolina,
said that the word "repudiate" is not
found iu the vocabulary of the South
Carolinians, who are an honorable peo?
ple; but if $20,000,000 per year is to be
added to the debt, it is to be expected
that repudiation might come. If the
tux-payers are allowed in tho next elec?
tion to control their own affairs, be had
no doubt every dollor of the debt would
be paid. Ho felt sure that if these
carpet-bag rascals wero exposed in the
courts before election, it would have
a very important bearing upon the elec?
tion.
Mr. Dowling addressed the meeting,
arguing that it would be better to wait
until after the election, for these men
may not be re-elected, and the expense
of prosecution woald be saved.
Mr. J. H. Hubbard, counsel for the
committee, urged immediate prosecu?
tion. He declared that the finanoial
statement for South Carolina was made
up in this city by Governor Scott; with?
out any reference to the books, and was
certified to by the Finanoial Board.
The meeting adjourned, subject to the
call of the Chair, and when the invita?
tion to subscribe was extended to those
present, but che signed the list. The
meeting broke up into little knots, and
exoitedly discussed the situation. One
gentleman declared it his belief that the
movement was a stock-jobbing one, as
Mr. Dowling, one of the committee, "is
counsel," be dcolared, "for E. K. Wil?
lard, who holds $5,000,000 Sooth Caro?
lina securities."-New York Herald, 19th.
THE LOWREY GANG.-Another of the
Lowrey gang of outlaws has been sent
to bis 'last account. As the train passed
through Lumberton, yesterday morning,
the body of the defunct cut-throat, rob?
ber rind outlaw had just arrived at that
place. Some of tho persons on the train
obtained a hasty view of the corpse, as it
lay in tho wagon which had brought it
from the spot where it was shot. His
remains were terribly mutilated. A ball
had penetrated ono eye and passed
through the back of the head; another
had entered the lower jaw on one side
of tho head and badly shattered it,
while a third passed through un arm
and into the bide. The outluw was shot
and killed by Mr. Robert Wishart, a
younger brother of Captain F. M. Wish?
art, who was murdered in cold blood by
the outlaws a few months ago. it is
supposed that Donahoe, who killed Boss
Strong, was with him at the time, as he
left Shoo Heel week before last, with
ten days' rations, and has not since been
seen or heard of. Lowrey was waylaid
in what is known as Baft Swamp, about
ten miles from Moss Neck, and an equal

for the arrest of about 100 citizens. It

and we must expect every means to be
resorted to, in the different Counties of
the State, to carry the approaching elec?
tion for the "party of great moral ideas.'
