JTHE CAMDEN JOURNAL. | W. B. TRANTHAM & J T HAY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. JANUARY 15. 1874. The attention of our respected coteinpn my, the Charleston Neict omf Courier, is called to the fact, that in its issue of the 12th insfc., under the caption of "The People must be heard," it gives credit to an* - P ?

In pnrsnanee of the published notice, public meeting was held on Monday last, 12th instant, to consider the question of Immigration. The Committee appointed at the previous meeting submitted their report, which was adopted, and is as follows; "The Committee to whom it was referred, at a late meeting of the citizens of Kershaw County to report a scheme, for the consideration of this adjourned meeting, to induce immigrants to settle in Kershaw County, beg leave respectfully to report: That the condition qf political, financial and material affairs in the Stato of South ;? anoK n* should. while it muY well nigh appal the inhabitants of this * State, awaken the deepest interest and sympathy in the hearts of all civilized people, and eepeoially those of our sister States. That condition, and the causes that have produced it, it would seem idle to consider and explain?they are known and recognised by all who intelligently reflect upon the subject. It is sufficient to say, that with a salubrious and delightful climate, a most fertile soil, peaceful and orderly citizens, conveniences and blessings of cborehes, schools, rail roads, telegraphs the press, &c., inviting the unsettled poo* * kannn knmflC pn 01 W6 worm w mujijr 1'"f IV among as?yet, if left to themselves. unaided by the influx of good citizen? of other States or foreign shores, the condition of the respectable people of this State is intolerable in the present, and hopeless in the future. The rescue, impossible to us alone, is easy with such aid. Three times withiu a century, did the peopleof.this District, at a bound, spring forward from a position of depression and pemrty to that of affluence. At the fourth trial, they entered upon the struggle from a vantage ground that Would promptly hare commanded success) hot fpr the operation of a desperate State government which madly "Stalks Where Angels dare nut trend." *of the little that is left us from hard 1 *Ia inoi^iAnu unnilAr wo flf>sirr VV 8XU VUU llli7IU(VW to contribute what wc may to preserve this from a position which is a reproach to the civilisation of the age, aud to that end we commend to this meeting the following Resolutions: 1. That we cordially invite good citizens, regardless of political opinions, from every State in the United States and from foreign shores, to oome among ns to share the blessings of our soil and climate, assuring all gold inen and women of kindly J welcome, and such aid as lies in our power, j 2. That this meeting do forthwith pro-i ceed to organise a Land and Immigration Society, with the object of inducing immigrants to settle among us, by donating lands to them or leasing to them on long and favorable terms. 3* That the par value of each share shall be fifty dollars. Ten dollars to be DStd in cash, at an early date, and ten dol iurs very sixty days until the whole be | paid. 4. That when the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000) shall have been subscribed, the Chairman of this meeting shall call the subscribers together to organize and proeeed to work. 5. That an Executive Committee of ten be appointed which is authorized to collect subscriptions to be applied by them to thepurpoee of immediately introducing immigrant* into this County". On motion of Gen. Kershaw, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the Chairman of this meeting appoint a Committc of three persons in each School District in this County, who shall be requested to co-operate in their neighborhoods with the efforts proposed to be made to forward the purposes of this meeting. In acoordance with these resolutions these committees were appointed, whose names will be found published elsewhere. This important movement may now he considered fairly launched, the mode of action proposed is entirely practicable, and the only thing lacking is that our people should take hold with the proper spirit and success is certain. We imagine that uo argument is necessary, as it certainly should uot be to sensible people, to prove the paramount importance of this movement to promote immigration. Not only is progress impossible without something of this character; if we fold our hands in indifference, and let things take their own course, we must retrograde and sink, until ruiu swallows us up. QOur condition is bad enough, I ut no 1 people can be finally destroyed, unless ' they deliberately choose to do nothing. 1 What really distresses and alarms the pa- ' triotic and public-spirited man is to see ' apa^iy, indifference, and apparent despair 1 stealing upon his fellow-countrymen.? Shall it bo said that tbo people of Kershaw ( County uill not do anything for their own i salvafinh? Vnloss'they rouse themselves, I this condemnation must he be passed upon v tiiem. K<>r twn weeks the question of iui- S migration has been agitated. Notice was 1; given of one meeting, which was held, and ) another appointed This second,'which p should have heen a mass-meeting, and would have been such, if things were considered in their proper light, was but r slimly uttonded. Nevertheless, those who c were present showed that they were thor- 1 oughly in earnest, and it was manifestly s their intention that something more than ' adopting resolutions and appointing com- 1 uiittees should be accomplished. The want 1 of public spirit and the short-sighted poli- ' cy of some people arc perfectly astonish- 1 ing. Frightened by the over-shadowing 1 cloud of taxation, and oppressed with the care of supplying each day's necessities, they seem unwilling to risk anything, however small, towards the accomplishment of future good, and afraid to undertake any enterprise, unless it appears entirely free from difficulties, and unless its effects can be presented ready-made to their hands, without any effort upon their part It has become common with many to say, in a repising tone, that Providence has forsaken our country, because of the many disasters of the last few years. It is very true, that, as a people, we have had a hard and discourging time. Rut this must not prevent us from seizing, with zeal and energy, any opportunity of ameliora ting our condition. We are not responsible for the lack of opportunity, but when the occasion is presented, and we fail to improve it, the blame is entirely upon us. r? ? j ?;n II we irui noi rn/ iu uu uii^uunj; nv nm soon find that Providence has in fact forsaken us Every man. who wishes to see our eoun, try built up. and his own lands appreciating iu value, can assist. The Immigration Society can bring an immigrant from New York to Camden for about 813. The planter, who desires a laborer, can procure , one by advancing this amount, which will be deducted from his wages at the end of the year. The better plan will be for our largo land-holders to settle the immigrants upon small farms of their own, and assist them until they arc able to pay for the land. The enhanced value of what is left, would much more than repay the proprietor for giving away some of his land to the immigrant. When once the stream of immigration shall have been turnod toward the South, and thriving and contented communities of foreigners shall have been established, we can leave matters to take care of themselves. Many things have combined t? ore vent a larire influx of foreigners among us. Before the war, our peculiar institution of slavery, with the system of labor and character of society which it produced, prejudiced the outside world agaiust us. tiitico emancipation, we have been made the victims of abuse and malicious misrepresentation by our enemies. We I must remove the wrong impressions thereby pnnluced. When we can convince the i forcigucr that he is welcome, if he comes j to make his homo among as, and live by honest toil, that his rights of person and property, and his dignity as a man are sacred, that his political and religious opinions and prejudices constitute no bar-1 rier to his success, we may leave thcji advantages of our soil and climate to do ( the rest. The effort is being sedulously made in ^ souie quarters to prejudice the minds of the colored people against the immigra- t tiou movement, it being represented to c theui that the white people wish to supplant theui as laborers, and crowd them out of the country. This cry is raised by those who trem- ; ble for their party ascendancy. This is of mure importance than the welfare of r the country to them, and therefore argu- ^ uieut would he useless and wasted upon c them. There is room enough in South Caro- o linn for all of its citizens, anH thousands ? more. The colored man is a useful la* j borer, and in many localities cannot be n dispensed with. J J is relations with the ji white man arc of a kindly and cordial na* turc. in everything except polities, lie P and his leaders are responsible for what* ( ever of antagonism exists. ^ Whatever benefits the country must ei help all of the people, 'flic thorough cul- Ci ti vat ion of constantly widening fields, the building and growth of towns and cities, n the increase and diffusion of wealth, the ,j 1 1 1- 1- l? i A! _ _. 1 reuucuu uurueii ui taxation anu consequent influx of capital, the stimulation up P all branches of industry, must help all of r: us, and for them all should work.

C( President (Irant has nominated lion. Jalob Pushing, the distinguished jurist, m for tho position of Chief Juitiee of the m I "nited States. Gen Gushing had proiously been confirmed as Minister to >pain, an ^appointment which was eminent f satisfactory, and was about to start for ladrid, when this new honor was iinexlectedly thrust upon him. Both Houses of the Legislature of Vir;inia have adopted resolutions that dedare there Jb no purpose upon their part, >r upon the part of the people they represent to cherish captious hostility to the Federal administration, and re-affirming :he portion of the Consei vutive platform, ffiat they will judge it by its official acts, }tc., that the Legislature recognizes the fourteenth amendment to the Federal const iiuuun as pari, ui mat liisn umcui, and desire in good faith to abide by its provisions as expounded by the Supreme Court of the United States, and that the amendment thus construed is the supreme law of the land, and should be obeyed and respected by all the co-ordinate departments of the government; that the bill now boforc Congress, known as the civil rights bill is in violation of this amendment as interpreted by the Supreme Court; is an infringement on the constitutional and legislative powers of the States; is sectional in its operation and injurious alike to the white and colored population of tho Southern States; and that its enforced application in these States will prove destructive of their systems of education and the enlightenment of the colored population, in whose improvement the people of Virginia take a lively interest, and will produce continued irritation between the races, counteract the pneifi cation and development now happily progressing, repel immigration, greatly augment emigration, reopen wounds now almost healed, engender new political asperities, and paralyze the power and influence of the State government controlling and promoting domestic interests, and preserving intimate cordiality. That the people of Virginia and its Legislature earnestly protest against this bill, and instruct their Senators and request theii Representatives in Congress firmly] but respectfully to oppose its passage, not on 1y for the reasons expressed, but as a measure which is calculated to arrest the growing sentiments of concord and harmony b stween the Northern and Southern States. The Injunction Case. CARD FROM STATE TREASURER CAHDOZO. For the information of the public and those holdiug "certificates of indebtedness," I have determined, upon consultation with his Excellency the Governor, to make the following statements: A temporary injunction was issued this morning by his Honor Jiidgc Cooke, upon' the application of Messrs. Monteith and Bauskctt, against the county treasurers, who are required to show cause, on the lDth instant, why said temporary injunction should not be made permanent, it is due to the administration and the pub lie to show the motives actuating the parties who have obtained the injunction.? l'his is best seen by the following correspondence : Statk of South Carolina. ) Executive Department, ' Columbia, January 7, 1874.)

In reply, 1 have the honor to say, that i) yesterday I received a letter from a itizen of this city informing me that the njuction order was signed and in his ands, known only to himself and his parter, and that the matter could still be adusted if attuned to nt an curly hour. In previous conversation with the same crsoii, he had informed me that he held a luiin against the State for about 85,500, ml if that claim was paid the injunction ould not l>e procured, lie further offerd to take pay for this claim iu^ "ccrtiliaies of indebtedness."

II. Baldwin, County Treasurer Itichland County. Columbia, 8. C., January 7, 1874//. Jia/du ui. E*n. ; Beau Silt?I write to inform you that iie injunction was signed this evening, duruublc l!Hh. and will be served on ou in the morning at an early hour. It et remains in my hands, known only to ic and Mr. Bauskclt, and can yet be adisted if attended t<> at an early hour, leaped fully, (Signed) W. S. Monteitii. I leave the public to draw their own inclusions, or make their own comments. While the temporary injunction ngninst i le county treasurers receiving them for | i ties continues, and even if it should be . i ade permuneut, the holders of these] certificates need not alaruielT as to | their ultimate redemption, inasmuch as the State treasurer is authorised by law to redeem thcui at the treasury out of tho incoming taxes, as well as the county treasurers to Bcceive them for taxes. Ia a word, if the certificates are not to be xeceived for taxes, then other moneys will be devoted to the redemption of the certificates. i There seems to be a great deal of confusion in the minds of many persona with regard to these certificates, and statements in tho various newspapers have tended to confirm these mistaken notions. It is said, for instance, that the tax levy ia not sufficient to redeem them, and even the amount issued has been in question. For the benefit of the public I would state that the total amount authorized and is sued is $Z3i,ant>, for the touowing purposes : On account of deficiency 6100,500 Interest thereon 6,496 Appropriation for printing immigration report 75,000 Appropriation for tax duplicates 25.000 Appropriation for Supreme Court reports 25,000 'Total $231,996 To redeem these a tax ofc one mill has been levied for printing this session, which will probably realize at least $160,000. The appropriations of $125,000 above stated, and for whicti certificates of indebtedness have been issued, will first be paid out of this tax of Si 60,000,'which it will be seen is more than ample for this purpose, at least. To redeem the $106,996 issued , ou account of deficiency, there is a tax of three and a quarter mills, levied to pay deficiencies, among which this arnouut is, of course, included. I would state in conclusion, that it is the purpose of his Excellency the Governor to protect the interest of the holders of the "certificates of indebtedness." who have relied upon the good faith of the State in receiving them, and that I am do. terinincd to apply the taxes leveied for their redemption faithfully to that purposed F.

It is established by vouchers in the department nf justice that on January 27.

In July, also, he purchased a pair of stitched pole straps, a gold slip j buckle, and a nc.w silk lining lor the landaulct. and had it varnished and put other expenses upon it amouting in all to ?211 13. In November and in Pcemnbcr the same carriage was repaired again at tho cost of the department of justice, out of whose contingent fund $SoO was take i for those repairs.
