The Rcpublicini l'arlj and Immigration.
I'll' Kepubiicau party professes to bo
one of progress; the party of the people,
having ilie good of the State at heart, as
a motive and object paramount to all
otfiers. In various platforms of its principles,
adopted by that party, the encouragement
of Immigration ha- been indorsed
and recommended, as a most important
step towards developing the resources,
and building up the prosperity of the
fc'tate. The Democrats have been charged
with being addicted tj the -rule or ruiu"
jH>licy in government, as opposed to anything
which might threaten the ascendancy
of certain principles, however much
jt might promise to conduce to the public
welfare. Now, however, that a combination
of causes lias apparently turned tin
tide ot immigration towards the South
and those in want of work, and willing t->
labor, are trying to come among us, wo
see indications of a spirit , that compel us
to believe that there is a covert hostility
in the Uopubiican ranks to the introduction
of foreign white meu into South Caro
linn. We do not believe that our State
government will be so foolish and irnpoli
tic as to attempt to enact any direct law
for the prtvouti'a of immigration. Thi
v. ould be to run counter to the spirit of the
times, and to set itself in opposition to th<
policy of the great natiofi to which the
# party in this State owes its existence, and
upon which it is dependent for support.
It would seem, also, to be a confession ot
a fear that the introduction of a foreign
element might destroy the supremacy ot
h<? ?virfv which claims to rest uoon the
t?J .
popular will, and which, by its intrinsic
merits, should be able to attract all classes
to its support. But the etfort seeuis to bi
to throw cold water upou the movement,
uud deter iuiwigrauts by misrepresenting
the feeling of the laud holders of our State
upou the subject. The Columbia Union
JLroUl read several lessons full of wise
suggestions to our people, as to what was
their duty. The views therein expressed,
wet our hearty approval, because they embodied
the very policy, which the peoplewere
trying to follow, ami were recommending,
iu resolutions adopted at public
meetings. This policy is to make settlers
out of the immigrants ; encourage and as
sist them to buy aud possess lands oi
their own, instead of working about u.common
laborers, so that they may feci at
houio, identified with tho interests of the
- n . 1 i 1
awl good order ofthc community in .vhich
tneir lot may be cast. We are not afraid
to assert that there is no uun of any sense
iu South Carolina who would not rejoice
to see such settlers constantly and rapidly
increasing iu numbers. l>ut with this
good advice, apparently kindly meant
aud certainly kindly received, theft) were
mingled unjust charges upon our people
A stranger reading the articles of this He
publican journal, would think that the
land owuors were wilfully blind on this
subject, and stubbornly opposed to any
proposition to divide their territory with
others, aud that the Union lleraltl was
trying to enlighten them as to their duty
iu the premises, and arouse theui to a
consideration ef their own interests. The
Columbia Union treats the subject in u
much more hostile spirit, aud makes char
ges much more calculated to prejudice tlie
outside world against us. It asserts that
the owners oi' land arc unwilling to sell it
to thousands who are prepared to pay well
for it. That the "Bourbon element,"
as it calls the people of the State who are
not Republican, are jealous of the acquisition
of property by others, because it will
tend to break their power, and drive them
fj^ui their exclusiveness. In short, the
people who are inviting and encouraging
immigrants to come among us, offering to
giv.- them lunJs, or to sell 011 the most favorable
terms, are described as haughty,
filled with contempt for the working man,
aii J jealous of the entrance of strangers.?
Thorn who make these assertions, know
that they are untrue; that all honest men
will be welcome in South Carolina ; that
lands will be cheerfully sold to all w ho
can Luy ; that the working-man is as much
re acted here as as in any other part of
fho world; that n warm frelcomo will be
extended to all who may e >uie among us.
prepared to identify themselves with us.
:uiu to develop the resource- of the country.
The purpose of these charges, of this
advice mixed with much abuse, is obvious.
Ti.u org us of Kjpublicanisru think that
tiie int.;esti of their party demand that
iur. -ration .should La discouraged ; and
a*u;j - <oTw t i.oy Jt ti;:dves to deter iui*
,?ij>rants from coining into the State, by
painting u,-iy pictures I th .se with whom
tin / will have to dcil. The convention
jfyountr colored men, lately held at Columbia,
takes a clearly defined position in
ref r jneo to tit is niat'er. Cther important
matters were treated of at this meeting.?
The alius of tfro povrcr of assessing property.
tbo burdensome apd ruinous charac
tcr of our present taxation, the necessity
retrenchment aud rcioriii ; and their
wo wjiial upon these subjects, addressed
to the Logi?lattue, is full of sound doctrine
well expressed. But we think that the
pressure of this mutter of immigration
was the chief motive for assembling this
convention. Its memorial styles the immigrants
deluded men," and asks the
Legislature to take steps to discoui#ge
I anv further increase in their numbers, as
! labor is now abundant :u South Carolina.
Wo would not blaute this convention for
the position which it has taken, if there
: was any necessary antagonism botween
j white and colored labor. But we believe
(there is plenty of room and work for all.
Ifa white man comes to this Stato determined
to work, ho need not long hold the
position of a farm laborer. The rewards
of holiest toil will soon secure a man a position
of hia own. The young colored
; meu who composed the convention at Columbia.
seem to be aware of their own responsibility.
If they will discharge their
known duty, they need not fear immigration.
If they will not, the consequences
I w!ii/?h the.-nradict will fall UDOn them.?
j Nothing which they can do will prevent
; their being crowded out of it position
which they are unable or unwilling to
! I hold.

The Legislature.
;, The most important business done by
the Legislature is the passage of the act
. j to extend the time for the payment ol
., taxes for 187M, under which there has
been an extension throughout the whole
State to March 7th. A resolution to appoint
a committee of the Legislature tc
j confer with a committee of the Tax-pay>
ers' Convention was lost in the House;?
The House and Senate have been wrang
* ling over the distribution of the amount
appropriated for the payment of contingent
expenses. A resolution ha* been
adopted in the House, referring all bills
in reference to the public printing to the
committee on the judieiary and the printing.
with instructions to report a bill in
five days to let out the printing to the
i ! -west bidder, the total amount not to exceed
?50.000. In the Senate an attempt
i has heen made to revive the Blue Kid^C
scrip, which tailed, and the scrip is now
considered to be dead. The resolution to
iuipcach Judge Carpenter for discharging
, the colored jury in Kershaw county, was
lost in the House on Friday last, by a
sinul. vote. We observe that two of our
Representatives, Messrs Adamson and
Hough, voted for ^iu resolution, the other,
Gaither, not voting. It is not considered
probable that the Legislature will
, adjourn before the 1st of March, some
thinking it best to remain in session until
after the assembling of the Tax-payers'
, Convention.

hat's the Matt kit Now??The
New Vork Tribune, of Saturday saj*s :
' There were laid before us yesterday,
certain startling documents, gravely affecting
high officials. The publication of
i them seems a high duty; hut we arc un;
willing to permit our columns to be used
in promulgating papers that must bring
| such discredit upon the American name
while there is the remotest possibility
of our being able to establish th *ir lack
of authenticity We have therefore set
on foot a thorough investigation that will
.- miii determine the matter, while meantime,
and f >r this sole reason, wo reserve
the documents themselves, and all expression
of opinion concerning the conduct of
the officials concerned."
A Washington Telegram, of Sunday,
t > the JJaltiniore Sun. says: "The greatc-t
anxiety and interest is felt in all circles
here over the disclosures threatened
by a leading New York paper, f said
to implicate high officials. It is asserted,
that the matter alluded to i.- in eonncetion

Pacific mail steamship line, and that one
of the officials alluded to is a member <>f
the f'nbinct. and another a still higher perpersonage.

that it is becoming every day in ?re apparent
that the merchants will have to carry
the planters in that section through the
coming spring and summer, if for no other
reas n than to secure the amounts due
for previous years. For the past three
years the planters have pitched their
I crops and operated their farms with a
j view to produce a heavy cotton yield, in
| the hope of getting out of debt, but i^|
I consequence of the unfavorable seasons,
and the ravages of the worm, short crops
and short prices, they find themselves further
in debt than they were three years
ago, and consequently, with less ability to
pay now thin then.

Washington, February 3.
A bill for an injunction was filed to-day
by the counsel of Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines
against the lion. Caleb Cushing, on which
a rcstruiuirig ordc> was granted, returnable
on the 13th instant. Mrs. Gaines
charges that she conveyed to Mr. Cushing
certain lands in Louisiana?sixty-eight
thousand aores?and received from him a
counter deed acknowledging the trust, and
afterwards, in his own name, he obtained
a confirmation to the title to said lands,
denying her right to any interest in them.
She' now asks* an injunction to prevent
j the respondent from reioeving from the
I government the patents for said lands.
Memphis, February 4.
The Memphis-and Louisvilb Railroad
Company shops, with five locomotives and
seven cars were burned to-day. LossSldO,i

to kindle a fire with coal oil.
j The fire throws one hundred and twenty

Providence, R. I., February 4.
One of the buildings of Allen's Print

$171,000.
Later.?'iTic burning of tho Memphis
and Louisville Railroad machine shops,
last night, was done by John McCarthy,
formerly a firemau on this road, but who
is now employed on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad. McCarthy, in coui,
puny with another man entered the office
of the master mechanic, and, pretending
to be intoxicated, raised a row with Den
' nis Roach, a watchman, whom he knocki
ed down with a billet of wood, and then
. lighted a match and set fire to a lot of pa'per.
About this time. La^Thomas, another
watchman entered the room,aud taking
in the situation at aglauce, struck McCar
thy over the bead with his club. McCar
thy then ran and was pursued by Thomas,
, who tired* several shots at him, oue of
, which took effect in his side, as stated by
a woman who dressed his wound. Up
1 to an early hour this morning the polico
had failed to secure McCarthy. The entire
loss reaches about $110,000. Cully
one hundred men arc thrown out of employment
by the fire. It is thought that
new shops will be rebuilt at once.
London. February 5.
Disraeli addressed a meeting at Newport
yesterday. In the course of his re
j marks lie said that Gladstone's Irish poiI
icy had utterly Tailed. Instead of pro|
ducing tranquility in that country, Ireland
I was now in a more disturbed state and
more stringently governed than ever be
! lore. He said that but for the University
I of London Mr. Lowe would be without a
seat in Parliinent. His unpopularity was
j such that his appearance on any hustings
would endanger his life. Throughout the
whole of Disraeli's speech the mob wore
pelting with stones the windows of the
hall in which the meeting was held. They
' attempted to break up the meeting, when
a?free tight ensued. The polling at Hackney
has been declared void because of informality.
Additional returns show that
, the Conservatives have gained one scat

Numbers of bouses were ransacked and

was read, all the shops closed, and it was
feared that the whole population would

soldiers was sent from Birmingham to aid
the authorities in the restoration of order.

there was a serious riotyestcr

At the Parliamentary elections held *nI
yesterday, the conservatives gained otic ara(
seat each in Belfast, Dover, Graveseud t,n(

a seat for Duuiphrcyshire and one for Co- . 1

Droghcda and Wexford. In the last Par- tIor
liuient these two places were represented the
by Liberals. The .Marquis of Lorno has ,J,ei
been returned from Argyleshirc. The first
report that all the Liberal candidates were C0M
electod in Glasgow 011 Wednesday, was trie
incorrect. Later returns show that the hos
Conservatives have gained one of the seats wr(
of that city. So far. three hundred and *er
forty members of the new parliament have he
been electod. Of this number, one huu- ail<
dred and ninety-three are liberals and ?or
Home Rulers. Conservatives have been u*
chosen for sixty-one scats occupied by fJ^.r
Liberals in the last parliament, and the c''.r
Liberals have ousted twenty-four Conscrvatives.
Conservative candidates were
elected in Westminster )'csterday by a j*' '
larger majority then the representatives in
the last parliament. ~ '
The Times this mortfing says it is now
evident that the country has returned an a
adverse answer to Mr. Gladstone's appeal. ',e
The election in Irciaud may show unlocked- .
for results, but nothing is likely to restore fiei
the losses of the Liberals in Great Britain. J '
Disraeli is bound to accept office, if the *1,n
government, following his example in ?nt
1868, resigns without awaiting tho reas- "e
scmbiing of parliament. The Post, in an
editorial of a similar strain, says that the *1"
blunders of the government are far more rcI
than an average. Its exercise of power bus acf
been as absolute as|it| has been indiscreet, (.'r<
It is immaterial whether the adverse re- lro
suits of the elections arc due to the dissat- er
isfaction of the country in the past, or the .
uncertainty regarding the policy of the Wl'
government in the future. . wn

rod one purpose, namely, to draw pubattention
