train, are so far incorporated into the
- ~ ? 'J JiLl
constitution and laws ot tne otaies, ana
of the United States, as to ^require that
they bo.regarded as venpjj^ having
' the force and obligation of lav.. .
Third. This solemn and re.
cognition of the existing laws brings
t the 'people of South Carolina into entire
harmony upon all questions of
civil. and political right, and should
unite all honest men in an earnest and
(Jjeteraiiocd effort to establish a just,
equal and faithful adininislratba of
ibe- government, in the internet'df no
jjlass or clique, but for the benefit of a
^oTarmoCTT
man, tbe white peoplo of Sooth Carolina,
and 51,951 attested their sincerity
By thtetr ballots on October 19,1870.
Whatever change in their sentiments
- ? V? ....
has been wrought since that time baa
f ?;
iiothiug to do-with what occurred at
the time to whioh General Kershaw,
refers; and docs not alter the fact, thrit
tli,e party which .be supported, fitqod'
upon the platform above enunciated,
when, the day of action came. But did
?<V * * > T #V . 'l " 1
General.. Kershaw "briog into life, in
fa the Uuion Bo form Party, or was
he the man -who planned tho scheme
upon which that,party , fought its bat. 1
tie? ' '
The fact is familiar that the "Press
Conference", which met in Oplumbia
in March, 1870, sod of which General
Korehaw was not a member, passed
resolutions brdathing the samesentimcni^with
those which were adopted
by the "June Convention" in June,
1870!, whero for the ?ret time; tho
General's name appeared in connection
with>the movement. <?#*.:u.r-^ .
* It ia -unwise for an editor to forget
facts, or attempt to create them where
they do - not exist, but such is tho failing
of most carpet-baggers and the members
of the ''Ring." The Union attempts
to mate light of the General's assertion
in, relation to the taxes, and says
"no -doubt that g^ptjcinan bases his arguments,
or rather assertions upon the
statement made by the Democratic
press a short time since, particularly
the A7eic*f" which stated that the Itadieal
tax levy for 1808, was $1,835,104,
and for 1869, was SI,622,657. The
Union ashs, "Why did tho Niws go so
far out of the Way to make the statement
. the levy for taxes ibr the next
two years mentioned was thus and so ?
Why did it not hare the manliness to
state not how much had been levied.
but how much had Actually Deen collected
?
It jupkes this difference, that where*
ns a Radical Legislative makes au effort
to collect $1,835,-104, for 18G8, and
$l,022,G57.10, for 1809, the property
of the people can only pay I,142j964.
23, for 1868, and &G99,873.75, for
1869. Tho question really is, what
ainouut of the people's uiopey did a
lladical Legislature attempt to steal
under, .the forms of law ? Does the
Union mean to say,that if the taz le;f :ti
lied had been collected, it would not
have made a difference of $900,0)90 in' ,
tho stealage ? Or does it^nean. to imply <
that going through the procCw of levy- ,

the Legialatwo tVeoUect

does it mean to imply, that i f any anus ,
over the amount actually collected, or
that shall hereafter be collected each
"overplus will be refunded ? If it does ttofc
mean this, what signification has (he
quefltioD, "whjt difference docs itmako

thewtn' Of <1,142,964.63, was collected!
on account of Poll and General States

that a proportionate amount -wasalso;;
oolleeted on aeeduot of County tbx,v
which would he for 1208, 3350,767.00/ ;
and for 1860/ ft slight
inaccuraoy' not worthy of the notice of
the Union I In addition to this the Sophistry
of the Union would have us
believe that the Sftsiti has not' an execution
against defaulting-taxpayers for
the amount of tho^eficit and thai" it
cannot collect the'sauTdefioii. Cat the
sales which took p&cci in this county
in, January last, and in othor counties
at other times avoids this Sophistical
argument, and many a man knows by
experience that a portion of his land
has been sold to pay his deficit. This we
conceive to be a sufficient answer to-the
Union on this point ' w
The Union savs in SDeaVtn* of the
prevalence ( of 'fmnrder, arsop, and
pillage" through^he land, that these {
wimea are ^qmie'uorcbuked of justice,
but those murders and pillagings have
been committed by those who believe j
as general Kershaw does(that niggers
have no rights which whito men are
bound to respect."
Not satisfied with mis-statements of
facta, and perverting truth, the Union
heaps calumny and fool abase, upon
the respectablnr w hit0 men of Sooth
Carolina, .whose daily; lives and actions
are rfipehkiog^fdtations. to this moos
strons slander, and the writer knew he
was making a false oharge-wben he
ottered this foal sentiment, unworthy
of- the greatest fool or the most
'determined and irreclaimable Blander
charger that 'HEirteeo (colored people)
were brutally. murdered by the follow*
ers of General Kershaw, without a
shadow of pretext of lav, and two <
more are to it murdered accord ivy to
law." *- -'
'
Thus prates this misorable creature,
who-knows that-tuch -language can only
recoil wupon himself, because these
two men who are to be hung, because
they were convicted of the foul and
deliberate murder of a one-armed white
man, wer e tried by a jury composed in
great part of colored men in presence
of a Judge elected by a legislature
composed in great part of colored men,
and wero ably defcndcdjbiy ex-Judge
\fnnm nna nf iti? lavunrn in thn
State, the jury scarcely leaving their
seats, bo satisfied wero they of their
horrible guilt.
But would any array of facts, sufficiently
convincing to other minds, make
any impression upon the man who, protending
to spsak for the people of South
Carolina, goes to Washington City to
interview the President of the United
States, and there states to tho- correspondent
of the Tribune, that at the
conference lately held in Columbia with
Governor Scott, General Kershaw hud
made a violent speech, saying that Ivu
Kluxing was but the "outpouring of
the just indignation of an outraged people,"
and other such staff, which Gen.
Kershaw never uttered, which Mr.
Chamberlain says was false from beginning
to end, and which the writer himself,
to all intents and purposes acknowledged
to be false, when in a late
issue of the Uniony ho hopes that at
the meeting which it suggests be holden,
General Korsbaw will be present

A Plain Statement.?1The Now.
' York World, which hns a peculiarly
i matter of fact way of viewing things,^
i alludes to Grant's Ku-Klux proclamation
after the following blunt.way :
Governor Scott, from Ohio, armed,
the negro tuililia in South Carolina and
sent them raidiug over the State, to
the terror of all women and children.
They have had some small oollisioDS
i with disgusted whites in two of the up<
per counties in consequence of their
depredations. They have since been
disarmed, and South Carolina has been
as quiet and serene as Vermont for the
past mouth. Now comes a tremenduous
nrnnlninnlinn frmii T'ffloiitonk flrnnt.
commanding the "insurgents" (whites)
to disperse and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes within twenty day^
from this time, or tho array and navy
will be sent into tho State- to suppress
the "insurrccliuu." What .insurrection?
' . .jv'-,
Radical Censure.?The Charleston
Republican, referring to the bill
for furnishing tho State House, the
items of which we have given, says :
"Tho whole thing shows the roost
shameless, tlio most infamous attempts
ed use of the funds of tlie State. Gov.
Scott righteously vetoed the nppropria?
tion bill covering this business of 'furnishing;'
and, with unything like vigilance,
those outrageous 'ileum' can
never pass. Somo people, we take it,
will have to wait a pood while for their
money?long enough, we trust, to
teach them the proper way of making
out bills when dealing with the State
of South Carolina."
"iSuro, nn 'it waa't poverty that drove
