'!j:*^?k.Ei>rron:-?I have taken the pains
^'io'^e'ihroogh the whole of "Republi
'y^f*' ?or?to'epistleof the 12th, in
''fttuWcr'to inino ot the 6th, and while, of
'"course,^ during its perusal, I must, havo
J ^rWni older." I; cannot say that I have
'M?wHre?^nc1ihgiy improyed,or grown ?\iser.
* Perhaps my unfledged imagination has
'^Veen'everstrained in the rash attempt to
'foliowJnih in his di7.zy flight withTenny
fan's '^'fiagle," or my reason bewildered
' ?t his style not being further erabell
:,iftne<f by;a quotation from Poe's "Raven."
1; However, as we cannot "see ourselves
~A isi others see up," I will not sny that "he
ts wrong, and I am right," but simply
?iad1 briefly review my position, and leave
the decision of the question to others.
}' ,$y reference to the letter attacKed, it
wifi"oe seen that my argument in opposi
' lUrajto/'Republican" was substantially as
, follows:' , .
... t03l<l . '
^ That the blacks, and not the whites, are to
' blame for our prcMiit political condition, inas
much oi in 1870 the whiten came to the block*
and begged them to unite with them in the
-establishment of an honest government, and
they positively refused to do so.
.. That, for this course of hostility they cannot
plead ignorance, or being fooled, as thoBiibiect
was thoroughly explained to them by men who
proved their sincerity by not only nominating,
J btit- supporting colored men to office. . ,
jinnTljat "bV their rejection of this proposition of |
- - the whites, to lose sight of cohny and look only
. to merit and honesty; and by their determined
ho^tilitv. to the whites ya every election' sine*'
fthe war, the matter has assumed the dcplornble
form of a question of race, instead of party, for
which tho blacks nrc responsible.
.'' That inasmuch as the blacks have resolutely
taken thin stand against die whiten, in every
.: inotancc in the past, it would bo degrading, if j
not impudently intruding, for us to go to them
t ngain, unUss they first come to us, that is, announce
t their willingncp.-i to meet us.
iU That 'such being the experience of the past,
^'wc had better go to work with our means and
? energies to induce immigration and overcome
the negro majority?looking to the ultimate
. .adoption of thojust system of cumulative voting.
-J.Tho.abovb, I believe, is a true synopsis
. ,of rny letter, and I willingly submit it to
,ttyublic. criticism, failing to see where
?^itRepublicitn". has disproved a single
point. '?? ?
..[>.: -It cannot be said that I am opposed to
I [conciliation, for if I did recommend that
liver should not turn to the blocks again,
lull wasiwith' this distinct qualification
?, unless {h'eyfirel come tout.
_.. If the negro shows the least disposition
a "lfr//fepede from his hostility," I am as
, .ready to meet him now, as I ever have
been in the past,
jjjjp It cannot be said, because I wish to
. . overcome 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 language in the very
,A letter from which 'Repulican' would have
. the negro draw this inference: I think if he
. u-vuld. accept thctystem of cumulative voting, anil
t tninorityfejiresentation now, ihat we should extend
fhe same right to him when toe have a white majority.
? ("1nii fits breast is "suspicions sanctuary,"
I fear he has made it sj himself, by his
'?? o&? evil thoughts.
"'; The system of cumulative voting I re
as opc of the grandest achievements
\i the line of political science, and espec
ially adapted to countries inhabited by
two, distinct races. In this line it is
cjteering to note "Republicans" snnguiuc
expression that "it will yet obtain in thi
country," and it is hoped that he will
liereaUer work for it.
In his ramblings, outride of the qu s
.t'on under discussion, "Republican"
alluding to the old rulers ef South Caro
/una^ says, "wo can very well sparo them
from any further management of tho
country" and that they should rest quiet
ly "before V o onward march of the new
civilization."
. Now Mr. Editor, as 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
Ahem officially in my life, I cannot speak,
from experience, but my observation in
clines me to tho belief that (excepting
some of the pitiable frailties common to
wealth aitd caste everywhere} we could
hardly bo worse off, even under such as
these, improrcd as they must bo by the
grand und rapid progrcosofevents.thnnwo
now uro titular aomo of the shining lights
of tho "now civilization."
But this is rather a1 matter of taste.. So
far^aa I am coucefhea^I Sfrolild prefer
men, unconnected with politics, either
new or ohl.
With this letter, Mr. Editor, I dismiss
ilie subject, and hope, for the good of]
your renders, that the discussion is closed.

impulse and has marked out our future,

Bank of Charleston.
Tly^ Banking Office of'^fio old nrm of
George. W. A\^Iiams/ ov' Co.', corner of
jrluyue and Church Steels, is undergoing'
a thorough overhauling'and remodelling
to make accommodations for'the Carolina
Savings Bank o^. Charleston, '.which hns
been recently chartered liy, the State Leg
islature. The work nv under the skilful
superintendence of,J.H. Derytfreux,Esq.
We learn that it is tho intention of
Messers. Williams & Co., to' transfer the
Banking Department of their extensive
business to the'iieiv Bnnk, which will be
put into operation with ample capital at.
an early aay.
The Banking House fronts on Church
Street, and is in the block between Haync
nutl Market Streets, which has for so
many years been the scene ot commercial
activity. The approach to the Bank will
bo through a neat vestibule, in which is
located one of tho vaults of the lustitu
tion. The apartment tobe occupied by
the Officers are finished "with tasto and
convenience. The Cashier's RooVt is
lighted^ and ventilated from the sides find
ceilings. The spacious Directors' Boom
is on the second .floor the 'Hayno Street
building; it will be fitted with tho con
vcnienccs of a commercial library, maps
charts, and the like.

Williams E. Breese, Cashier.'
Mr. Williams is know;; to be one of
our moat active and successful merchants,
and a sagacious, prudent financier, hav
ing been for more than a quarter of a cen
tury connected with sVimo of tho leading
Banks uufl Rail roans of the South. Mr.
Williams' long experience in the man
agemcn of liuaujcs, is a guarantee that
he will make the Carolina Savuic* Bank
a succes?,.
Increased capital and cheap Railroad
freight'*,' are greatly needed to develop
the superior commercial advantages and
manufacturing interests of Charleston.
No investment lias proven go profitable
since the war as money used in Banking.
Tho limit rate oif interest however, has not
only been n hindrance to the commerce
of Charleston, but has also borne liuvily
upon the agricultural and manufacturing
interests'of tne'Statc. We therefore hail
with pleasure Any effort that is made to
augment the Banking Capital of South
Carolina, and to increase her Railroad
facilities.
