Approved February 27,1872. Democratic Bail Refused to Colored Prisoners.?There is a rumor in this comBjtuui^y, which comes from good authority, we learn, that the colored prisoners sent here by the United States Court to be bailed out, have been refused that privilego if their bonds arc signed by Democrats. At the time of their arrest, it was strongly suspect-1 ed that political opinions had more to do withjtheir persecution than any proof or suspicion that they had anything to do with the Ku-Klux. It is well known that there are not more than five or six Radicals in this county who own sufficient property above the homestead, to muke their bond good, and they would not be likely to assist a Democratic oriWprl man: consequently these poor fellows are doomed to lie in jail until they either tcl! what they do not know, or. what is more probable, until they promise allegiance to the Radical party. We are further informed that the United States District Attorney. 01 his assistant, stated that at least one of the colored prispners was only arrested as a w itness, and is not accused of committing dny crime. We ask the District Attorney why the plain order of the court is disregarded in the cases of those colored men, and why they are not allowed the sauie privilege of bail that have been accorded to white prisoners ? We aro also informed that one of the pris. oners was told by art official that he "was doing very well in prison, for when he was out he was a slave to the Democrats." This is the freedom to which the colored people i have been elovatcd?to vote the Radical [ ticket or go to jail. i Close and solitary confinement, frcqiifeht threatening interviews, representations (true i or false) as to the proof against the prisoners thus interviewed, and every other style of t intimidation is,resorted to, to extort from the f weaker minded some statement or suspicion r of the complicity 0/ certain individuals in . some act of violence against colored persons t and the Enforcement Act; and tliuy call all 1 such statements^ made under such circum1 stances, sufficient proof to issuewarrants and 3 send out a marshal and a squad of soldiers, 1 at the dead hour of night, to arrest any nuntr ber of our citizens and keep them in jail for months. 1 This state of affairs will contine so long as 1 the officers employed there find thoec is inoi nev in it." The more arrests they make, the more money they get; and it seems 10 us - that they pursue our people with the same satisfaction and for the same purpose that the hunters of the North-cast formerly hunted wolves?merely to got the bounty offered for their scalps. e They cbntinue to cry "snake ! snake !" d after tlicy know that the fangs of the reptile e have been extracted and there is no more t danger from him but the cry is ncccs y sary in order to drive off those who ma\ it, be in the way of many officials who "set the hand-writing on the wall," and know 3. thoir present occupations cannot last mucl longer, and arc announcing themselves a: 3t candidates for profitable offices in the Stat< l(] Government. For this they are catering for the colored votes, and discovering tha te the way to the colored people's hearts i of through the persecution of white citizens o it. the South, they use their official positions a ie the safest, most profitable and shortest guid to that discernablo haven.?

My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your Valiied favor, atvd gladly avail myself of the opportunity you afford ine of expressing my views of the policy proper to be pursued *iu the present emergency. I esteem it our first duty to seek the rescue of the State from ruin and bankruptcy* and Vie consequent expatriation of many of her b st people. Our action in general politics should be controlled by this prime necessity. If W6 can promote the eskaolishmetit of a better Government at Washington, it is our duty to do so, chiefly because it will relieve our people from federal oppression, and check the inisrute of the State Government, now emboldened by the countenance and QTriiinnthv <if* the General GdVCrtt "J?t J nieut. If, however, our participation in the Presidential canvass will at all impair our power to wrest the State from the plunderers who how cohtirol hCr destinies, we should carefully refrain from it. I believe it to be our duty to lay aside all party preferences, and, as citizens of Sonth Carolina, seek her rescue from farther ruin and degradation', as a man would fight the fire around his own domicil before joining hie neighbors to arrest u general fiiti in the woods. If there be any hope of present improvement ip the State Government, it is to be expected from a reform movement within the Republican party. From indications already observed, I ain nol without hope that sPch a movement will be developed, and that it may assume such proportions as that it maybe made to succeed by judicious co-operation on our part. Should the Republican .Convention happily chance to uominate persons promising ah hopest administration, and having the confidence of our people, the conquest will be less difficult of achievement, but in any event, our assists uncc, to avail anything, must be cautiously, nuictlv and sagaciously employed. 1 w ? . If we avoid any organization of dtir people for any political purpose whatever?if we refrain from antagonizing the Republicans of this State on party questions?if we avoid all irritating collisions with the colored people and pursue a policy of conciliation?wc may secure such a participation in the affairs of the State as will arrest her impending ruin. This course, 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 possibility of any such movement, however tempted by alluring hopes or just resentment. In the view of tho case which I have presented, we should take no part in the Presidential election. The dominant party would yield nothing to those who oppose their pqrty nominee for President. Ill yielding this, I we in fact yield nothing but a sentiment. . The nominee of the Republican parity will get the vote of South Carolina, whether we oppose him or no, and all the more certainly if. and because we do not oppose hiut; If We refrain from taking our fruitless part in "the Contest, should the Republicans succeed, we will have avoided giving dhy pretext to the incoming administration further to oppress and to persecute our people, and our wise moderation will have disarmed much of that prejudice which excludes us from participation in the public affairs of the State. Without such participation, it is vain to hope for any relief. On the other haad, none of the benefits to ensue from the defeat of the Republican nominee for President can be averted by the course I havd indicated. The conservatives, if successful, must shape their general policy in accordance with the principles they have announced and must select for Federal offices honest and competent men, whatever may be the course pursued by our people in the election. We have,, therefore, everything to gain and nothing to lose by non-action. I do not think we are in a condition just now to throw up our hats for any candidate for President, and consider it unWise in a people, situated as wC are, to delude ourselves into I >ii.> holipf tlmt we can mend our affairs by indulging in any such amusement. Let us have nothing to do with this political ghmOj until we can strike with effect. If the Liberal Republicans organize in this State, let thein do it. If they do not, certainly our ptjople could have no reason to organize for the support of Mr. Greeley, Unless they desired to uiake his defeat iu this State doubly sure. The same reasoning would apply much mure conclusively against the organization of the Democratic party. In my judgment, wc would commit a fatal blunder even to send delegates from this State to the Democratic Convention. Thtiy would fCpftsdut a Constituency who could not possibly elect even one elector, and whose support would damage the cause they advocate. But, while powerless for good, such action would have a capacity for evil, fatal to all our hopes of relief within the State. Nothing conceivable, within the range of probabilities, could ' so damage us politically, as the revival at this -A- Oi..u time of' the democratic party 01 una ouuc. One other point. If Grant be the nouii, nee of the Republicans, he will have greater power for good or for evil to our unhappy ' people than any other person or party. It : is, perhaps, hopeless to conciliate; but in view of his possible election, it would be suicidal ttf exasperate him by a vain and fruitless opposition. This last consideration you may denounce as unworthy a free people. But remember, we arc not a free peo* pie. While it might be dastardly to suffer ' our political conduct to bo controlled by the ? fear of personal consequences, the welfare of the people is the noblest motive of the statcsp man.
