Three days afterwards I receive*! the following telegram .from tho President, dated Washington, October 31, 18G5. "To B. F. Perry, Provisional Governor: *There is adeep interest felt as to what course the Legislature will take in regaru to the adoption* of the amendment to the Constitution of the United S(ate9, abolishing slavery, and the assumption of the debt created to aid in the rebellion against ik. 0,-4? if vivfciiiuiwub vi <uu u uucu ^;atco* 11 the action of the Convention was in good faith, why hesitate in making it a part of the Constitution of the "United States ? I " ' . trust in God that the restoration of the Uaion will Dot be defeated, and all that ha?, so far, been well done, thrown away ! j 1 still have faitli that all will come out right yet. This opportunity ought to be understood and appreciated by the people of the Southern States. If I know my own heart, and every paBsion which enters it, to restore the blessings of the Union ?nd tie up and heal every bleediog wound which has been caused by this fratricidal war. Let us be guided by love and wisdom from on high, and union and peacc will once more reign throughout the land. "ANDREW JOHNSON." To these telegraphic despatches, I replied that the war debt of South Carolina was verj inconsiderable; that our whole Slate debt, at this time, whs only about -6,000,000 ; th?t tbia wad mostly incurred, nlerior^o the war, in constructing railroads and building a new State house, with an old debt of long standing; that we had assumed no portion of the Confederate * debt and wertf responsible in do way for it. 1 The expenditures which the State had incurred up to a certain period had all bean settled and refunded by the Coofederate State*/ I stated that South Carolina had abolished elavery in good faith, and never intended or wished to restore it; that the Legislature was then consideriog a wise, juit and humane system of laws for the n/mtafn tmanf an/9 inn /\f llia fwno/5 guTgiiut^yuit nuu pivw^&viv/n lug iicou ? <nen, in aH their righto of person and prop* ?rty ; and that there was no objection to . the adoption of the proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, except an ap* prehension that Congress might, under the , second section of that amendment, claim ihe right to legislate for the negro after "elavery was abolished". I likewise stated, that no official notice had ever been re ceijred, by the Legislature, of the proposed I amendment to the Constitution of the! United States. *" In reply to this despatch, I received, yes tarda/, the following telegram , from thp fie<Ji-etary'of State, dated "Washington November-0, 1005. To J%i* JgxceUtMcg B. F.

"The President considers the acceptance of the amendment, by South Carolina, as indispensable to restoration of her relations with the other States of the Union. "WM. n. SEWARD." This formal notice, of the proposed amendment to the Constitution .of the United States has not yet been received. When it is, 1 will communicate the same to you. The amendment may bo seen in the Acts of the last Cougress, and is iu these - worus: ? "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have hefin duly convicted" shall exist within the limits of the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. "Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."?Approved Feb. 1, l-h05. A few days since, I addressed a communication to Mr. Sewrfrd, Secretary of Stato, by mail, in which I repealed and tnlargecl on the views previeiisly expressed to tbe President, in reference to tbe objections which were entertained in* South Carolina to^ tbe proposed Constitutional amendment. I am happy to find that the Secretary of State does not regard these objections as well founded, but <?nnswl?r3 tVioni ''querulous and unreasonable." Ii is true, that a plain, honest construction of tlio language of the amendment would be, that slavery was abolished in the United States, and that Congress should si/nply enforce it. When this was done, their lciei.f!".. ?-i 1 -- ' 1 vgii??iuu nuuiu uu enueu. mej could nut attempt, under the authority given by this amendment, to paw laws for the government of the 'freedmen," in their free stale. The Attorney-General of.the United StaU-a and the Freaid?nt have both been understood as concurring in this opinion. | Tt. nrnnlil Ka - -1 ?* * ? -, .....V.u.v, I.v men, I.u MUUpUHg lite proposed amendment, to place on record the construction which had been given to it by the Executive Department yf the Federal Government. It is manifest, from the earnest,eloquent and patriotic terms in which the President has urged the adoption of this amendment, that he regards, as he says, 1 all that South Curoliua has done?and so well done ?as thrown away, unleae the amendment is accepted by the Legislature. The Secretary of State is still more explicit in his Iatr<runcro. He snva Prmi,lanf W o v~ ? v??v.wim W?lw | aiders the acceptance of the amendment by South Carolina as indispensable to a restoration of her relations with the other States of tho Union." The reason why this exaction is made of the Southern States, after they have abolished slavery, is that they might otherwise, at some fiw ture day, change their Constitutions and restore slavery, in defiance of the Federal Government. , You, gentlemen, have, at .this time, the destiny of the State in your hands, and I feel assured that you will act calmly and dispassionately, with the view to the peace happiness and well-being of South Carolina. * I addressed a communication to the Sec retary of the Treasury, at Washington, a few day# since, urging that, in case the Legislature should assume the payment of that portion of the direct tax for whfqh South Carolina is liable, that the Federal Government should receive ber bonds for the same, or suspend the collection of the tax for the present year. I would advise the immediate assumption, by the State, of her portion of the direct tax, which is about $366,000. This will relieve , the people from the immediate payment of it to the Federal Tax Collectors, and enable the State to make some arrangements in reference to it with the Treasury Department or Congress. It In my communication to the Secretary of State, I urged the propriety of withdrawing the eolored Jroops from the interior of the State to the forts or sea-coast, and requested tbat white troops might, for the present, be retained in Charleston, Georgetown and Beaufort. I tirfve forwarded the resolutions you sent me the other day, in reference to the school house in Charleston, to Gen. Howard, and aeked that they should bo restored to the proper authorities. I made lit same request in regard to the Miliary Hall in Charleston, . B. P.
