Jlf^kk. Ebrron:?I bavo taken tho pains
;:'io?tHSo through the whole of "Republi
cans** claborato epistle of the 12th, in
'itaswer.to rnino of the 6th, and while, of
''course, during its perusal, I must have
y^gVown older." I cannot say that I have
11 'tlorreepondingjy improved,or grown w iscr.
? Perhaps my unfledged imagination has
''Vce'ri'everstrained in the rash attempt to
follow liim in his dizzy flight withTcnny
1 Mart's "Eagle," or my reason bewildered
at his style not being further embell
ished* by a quotation from Poe's "Raven."
However, as we cannot "see ourselves
' as others see up," I will not say that "he
fs' wrong, and I am right," but simply
and briefly review my position, and leave
'trie decision of the question to others.
'' ,fiy reference to the letter attacKed, it
W?1 be seen that my argument in opposi
ifotLto "Republicau" was substantially tis
follows:
That the blackt>, and not the whites, are to
blame for our prcMiit political condition, inas
'much aa in 1870 the whites came to the Macks
and 'begged them to unite with theiu in the
establishment of nn honest government, and
i they positively refused to do so.
That fur this course of hostility they cannot
plead ignorance, or being fooled, us tho subiect
was thoroughly explained to them by men who
proved their sincerity by not only nominating,
''btat-supporting colored men to office.
?,ii"Thnt by their rejection of this proposition of |
-the whites, to lose Hight of Color, and look only
to merit and honesty; and by their determined
hostility to the whites }n every election' since
the war, the matter has assumed the deplorable
form of a question of race, instead of party, for
which the blacks are responsible.
That inasmuch as the blacks have resolutely
taken this stand against die whites in every
..instance in the past, it would be degrading, if |
not impudently intruding, for us to go to them
again, unless they first come to im, that is, announce
their willingness to meet us.
1 That 'such being the experience of the past,
"we had better go t<? work with our means and
^energies to induce immigration and ovcrromc
?lie negro majority?looking to the ultimate
adoption of thejunt system of cumulative voting.
Tho.nbove, I believe, is a true synopsis
of my loiter, and I willingly submit it to
public criticism, failing to see where
^?(Republican" has disproved a single
point. ? 1 ?
: : It cannot be said that I am opposed to
conciliation, for if I did recommend that
I i v,c should not turn to the blacks again,
it wan with this distinct qualification
.unless Ih'ryfirst come to us.
t j If the negro shows the least disposition
t "fo^rccede from his hostility," I am as
ready to meet him now, as I ever have
been in the past.
It cannot be said, beenus? I wish to
?pverconic the negro majority, that I con
template "his exile from home, or a cur
tailment of his civil and political rights,"
. for hero is my exact langunge in tho very
A letter from which 'Repulican' would have
, the negro draw this inference: I think if he
t(ftoufd-Jpcc+pt the system of cumulative voliny, ami
. minerity representation now, that we should extend
,the same riyht to him when wc hare a white majority.
' "il nis breast is "suspicions sanctuary,"
I Tear he has made it sj himself, by his
own evil thoughts.
.' The system of cumulative vot^jg I re
gard as one of the grandest achievements
in the line of political science, and espec
ially adapted to countries inhabited by
two distinct races. In this line it is
cheering to note "Republicans" sanguine
expression that "it will yet obtain in this
country," and it is hoped that he will
hereafter work for it.
In his rumblings, outride of the qti s
t:on under discussion, "Republicau"
alluding to the old rulers cf ?Sottlb Caro
Inia, says, "we can very well spare them
from any further management of tho

Now Mr. Editor, aa I know nothing of
these men, beyond what I gather from the
current history of tho times, not being
one of them, or in anywise connected with
them officially in my life, I cannot speak
from experience, but my observation in
clines me to the belief that (excepting
some of the pitiable fritiltics common to
wealth and castes everywhere) we could
hardly bo worse off* oven under suoh as
these, improred as they must bo by the
grand und rapkl progress of even ts.thnn avo
im>W uro vmder ?onio of the shining lights
of tho "new civilization."
But this is rather a matter of taste, i 80
far as I airt concerned, I "would prefer
men unconnected with politics, either
new or old.
With this letter, Mr. Editor, I dismiss
the subject, nnd hope, for the good of
your renders, that the discussion is closed.

Orieof the mbst interesting' events of
tho year is to come-ofi' on the 15th of
May next, the Annual Regatta of the
"R, Association" of South Carolina. Th'p
boat crews have gone into strict training
and this means an amount of labor and
privation hardly appreciated by outsi
ders. In a little book before us published
in England arc laid down verp fully dud
explicitly the rules nud regulations ob
served by the University crews in En
gland. We find that great privation is
practised in the matter of food diet,
and that the articles of food to be selec
ted from nie exceedingly limited,1 that
most meats and every kind of sweet
meats as well as all spirits and tobacco
are strictly prohibited, the very mode of
preparing the eatibles is thoroughly dss
cribed and the houses for rest and exer
cise systematibally arranged. The ma
jority of our boat clubs have purchased
new and costly boats and all have re-furn
ished their old ones. A hand fight is
expected with the club from Savannah,
who were vanquished last year nnd lost
their champion flag w hich they are deter
mined to recover back on [this occasion.
Clubs from Mncon and Augusta Georgai
aud from Beaufort Georgetown S. C. and
Beaufort N.C. will participate The contest
this season will, certainly be the most spiri
ted since tho war. Ample arrangements
have been made to carry guest and vis
itors around the harbor during the race
and it is rumored that a gram* ball will
bo given at the end of the races, and on
each day the guests of the Association
will be entertained at a public dinncr-^iu
short, our clubs are determined to out
do, if possible the hospitality so liberally
extended to them by the Savannah boys
last year, A wug informs us that Moses,
Ncag'o and Tim Hurley are getting up a
club to enter the race and, as I hey arc
accustomed to row in the same boat,
great expectations arc indulged at to
their success.
The Llo'raf fair, ]W most interesting
occurrence of .he' season to the lovers of
botany (nnd their name is LegioiO will
take pincc on the 28th inst. lasting as
usual three evenings in the park attached
to the college of Charleston. The post
band is engaged to discourse svfoct music
nnd with three such attractions as the
ladies, the music and the flowers, the
most callous of those handsome creatures
"the men" will be unable to resist atten
ding. The spring is propitious for a
varied and beautiful display of flowers
and tiic collections of garden and hot
house plauts will be perhaps the best
exhibited here for many years. A num
ber of Chinese lanterns will be used to
ilh'miuntc the grounds with the beauti
ful effect they produced last year.
We were totally unprepared here for
tho good news from you.- county a few
days since of the appointment of Judge
Glover, county Treasurer in the place of
the last honest occupant of that olfico
many appointments of this character will
enable us to listen more ntfcStiVoly to
the promises of reform which the repub !
licaii party are so constantly making and
will do more to promote the ponce -and
prosperity of our State than ten thousand
of the bombastic and ranting speeches
made by the hot?house politicians of

when farmers must push! their work in

is the watch word it enters into every
advocation of life, at the Mechanic's
bench, in tho Mill, at the Work-simp, on
the Rivers and the Lakes. The great
aim of all imbued with our nat ional spirit
is to go ahead and get onward. It is that
impulse and has marked oat our future,

Tho American citizens has eclipsed all
others in many departments of handcra't
and tho Mechanical genius of our people
is tho admiration of mankind. Shall the
farmer lay behind. Ho is the lord
of the soil. No tithe master mudswes
his grain or counts his heeds. On the
farmer every interest depends. His toil
sets nil other arts iu action; without it
nil other interests would fag and' die.

City Xmprovemenrs-CJarollna Savings
Bank of Charleston.
The, Bonking Office of the old firm of
George W. Williams & Co., corner of
rluytieand Church Steels, is undergoing
a thorough overhauling and remodelling
to make accommodations for the Carolina
Savings Bank of. Charleston, which has
been recently chartered hy the State Leg
islature. The work is under the skilful
superin tendance of J. H. DervOcux.Ksq.
We learn that it is tho intention of
Messers. Williams & Co., to transfer the
Banking Department of their extensive
business to the new Bank, which will be
put into operation with ample capital at
an early day.
The Banking House fronts on Church
Street, and is in the block between Hayne
and Market Streets, which hns for so
many years been the scene of commercial
activity. The opproueh to the Bank will
be through a neat vestibule, in which is
located one of tho vaults of the lustitw
tion. The apartment tobe occupied by
the Officers are finished With tttstc and
convenience. The Cashier's Rnolti is
lighted and ventilated from the sides and
ceilings. The spacious Directors' Boom
is on the second .floor the Hay do Street
building; it will be fitted with the con
veniences of a commercial library, maps
charts, and the like.
The mechanical works in progress, ic
flects credit upon the cneigtic Dcyereux
Brothers.
It is nndcrstood that tho Seiupr of the
firm of Geo. W. Williins & Co., is^to.bc,
at the head of the new Institution.
Joseph It. Robertson, Vice-President, and
Williams I?. Breese, Cashier.'
Mr. Williams is know;: to be one of
our most active and successful merchants,
and n sagacious, prudent financier, hav
ing been for more than a quarter of a cen
tury connected with some of the leading
Banks und Kail roads of the South. Mr.
Williams' long experience in the man
ngciiicn of liuun.Ts, is a guarantee that
he will make the Carolina Savings Batik
mi- ' ?>? "r. *.|? Uli it ?????? ?* ;
a success,.
Increased capital and cheap Bail road
freights,'are greatly needed to develop
the superior commercial advantages and
manufacturing interests of Charleston. \
No investment has proven so profitable j
since the war as money used in Banking.
The high rate of interest however, has not
only been a hindrance to the commerce
of Charleston, but has also borne havily
upon the agricultural and manufacturing
interests of the State. Wc therefore hail
with pleasure any effort that is made t<>
augment the Banking Capital of South
Carolina, and to increase her Railroad
facilities.
