Inasmuch as we bate ever regarded tbe representa tives of a people hi a legislative . bod; amenable to their constituents" for their acta;-we saw no very great impropriety in the suggestion, especially when urged on the ground of a supposition that it would facilitate harmony in tbe Democratic ranks. Our friend of the Spirit of the Times, however, baa differed with us, and even complains that tbe physiological action of bis respiratory apparatus was serious ly damaged by tbe shock which follow ed the discovery of our supposed folly. In behalf of the delegation be says that such a proposition could not be enter tained for a moment, since the sacred ness of character would render a publi cation of official short-comings mon strous.

A communication from 4'Enquirer'' is published in another column, with the above beading. The quotations which be makes are correct, but bis in vestigation did not extend far enough to cover the question. ' On -page 1,14 of the Revised Statutes, at the end of Chapter Title III, will be found tbe following Note : "The provisions of this Chapter shall not affect tbe. assessments made in the yea r 1881, nor the collection of taxes Under or by virtue of any Act passed or that may be passed, by tbe General As sembly during tbe present session, 1881 ?2; but such collections shall proceed in the manner prescribed by tbe ^ct author ising the same, and the laws in relation thereto, that were in force from the first day of November, A.D., 1681. any thing in this Chapter to the contrary notwithstanding." Instead of Leasing being the proper course for collecting the present Delin quent Land Tax, it is entirely unau thorised, and will not be the proper course until after the next- collection, say a year from now. T. Thou. Fortune on South Caro lina. The following extract from tbe last editorial cf tbe N. Y. Globe, is a very fair sample of that class of cheap slan der which can be manufactured by an editor of tbe "yaller" variety at the North. We publish it only as a cu riosity, and not on account of any sensa tion it is likely to create: Tbe colored men of South Carolina are not only defrauded of their right to vote, but they are only allowed 40 to 60 cents for a day's bard labor. They are taxed without representation and robbed of their booest toil without power of recourse in law or equity for redress. What is the constitutional recipe in a case of this kind. We admit the diffi culty of the question. We admit that a proper solution involves a high order of statesmanship, but the solution is possible, and tbe urgency of the solu tion must be admitted by every candid man. It is not just, it is not constitu tional, that one class of citizens should repress and tyrannize over another class which is declared by tbe supreme law of tbe land to have equal and common rights. The proper solution of the South Carolina question is to remand that state into a territorial form of gov ernment. There are other remedies, bat tbey will only heal, not permanently cure, , the-evils which distress tbe orgau'e body of the state. It is a harsh remedy, but we maintain that the whites and the blacks of South Carolina have abown themselves incapable of self government, and should therefore be placed under the wings of the parent government until such time as they are capable of self-direction and govern ment.

Editor: In your last issue appears the Auditor's advertisement of some 10,000 acres of Land For Sale fur taxes. This action appears a little strange in view of the following sections of the general Stat utes of the State, passed by the General Assem bly, at the Session of 1831?2: Sec. 283. Al! real property returned de linquent shall first be offered for lease. Sec. 284. Each County Auditor shall cause the list of delinquent lands to be published, to which list there shall be attached the fol lowing notice: "Notice is hereby given that the whole of the several parcels, lots and parts of lots of real estate described in the preceding list, or so much thereof as will be necessary to pay the taxes, penalties and assessments charged ther - n, will be let by Treasurer of County, South Carolina * *** and such letting will be continued from day to day until all of said parcels, lots and parts of lots of real estate, shall be let or offered for lease * * Sec. 285. The County Treasurer shall be tween the hours of ten o'clock in the morning and three in the afternoon offer for lease, at public auction, each tract described in the ad vertisement aforesaid, for a term not exceed ing seven years: provided that the letting thus made shall be denominated the Delinquent Land Letting. Sec. 287. The Connty Auditor shall attend all letting* of delinquent real estate. Sec. 291. Within 20 days after the delin quent land letting has been closed, the Connty Auditor sbft? publish for 2 weeks a list of the delinquent lands offered for lease, and not leased for want of bidders, accompanied by a notice that the same will be sold to pay taxes, &C. The question is, will the proposed sale be legal? To "the writer, it seems clearly con trary to law. INQUIRER. THE SUMTES APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Editor:?The article of "Citizen* \ which appeared in your last issue was timely and weil put, and while it referred to the Auditor, in particular, it might equally apply to all the officers who were removed in Sumter county during the sitting of the last Legisla ture. The sensible, thinking people of the county fully understand that the responsi bility of these removals rests with the Senate, and consequently with the "Senator from Snmter," since upon hit motion the nomina tions made by the Governor were not con firmed. The great majority of the people admire and appreciate the course pursued by the Governor in all his appointments throogh out the State, and deplore the fact that Sum ter county, by the action of her Senator, is placed in a position of hostility to that policy, which has commended itself so favorably to the people of the whole State, and is made to say that within her borders at least, there shall be no civil service reform. There is dissatisfaction in the county, deep and wide-spread; not that the men who now 611 the offices are insufficient or untrustwor thy, but that men of acknowledged ability and large experience, should be turned out o^ office for no cause known to-thepeople, unless it be to make room for the friends of the "Senator from Sumter." We have known tbe Senator for a long time, and never yet have we seen him attempt to shirk a respon sibility, and we believe that in due time be will give that explanation to his consti tnents which tbey patiently, yet anziqpsly await. He knows too well that it is not only the privi lege, but tbe duty of the citizen to inquire into the official conduct of those who fill the offices of public trust, otherwise they became not the servant* but the bosses of tbe people. The officers removed were, without excep tion, largely endorsed for re-appointmeut by the people of their respective localities, and unless there was cause for. removing them, we do not understand why the Governor should be forced by the Senate to make new appointments. Let ns have the facts. X. WASHINGTON LETTER. [From our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, January 20, 1883. The Senate has been busy this week discuss ing tbe Post Office appropriation bill, the bill for relief of Ben Holliday, and tbe Tariff bill. Senator Edmunds, by request, introduced a bill to provide for the appointment of a com mission to investigate the subject of railway transportation. Senator Plumb moved to Postpone the Tariff bill, in order to proeeed with the Post Office Appropriation bill. Mr Sherman opposed the motion, insisting that the Tariff bill most be pushed forward if it was to pass at all, and said he would stand by the Senator from Vermont (Mr. Morrill) in pressing it as against all other business. Upon a vote the motion to postpone tbe Tariff bill was lost. Tuesday was a day of hand-shaking and congratulation in the Senate chamber, as five members received tbe news of re-election. Frye, Harris, Ransom, Garland, and Sauls berry were returned without a struggle. But few Senators are found in their seats when the gaval falls these mornings, the 11 o'clock rule being just a little too previous for our much overworked (?) statesmen. A call session of the Forty-eighth Congress seems inevitable, unless it can proceed more rapidly with the work before it. But thirtj-two more work ing days are left before its appointed expira tion, and but few of the appropriation bills have been passed. The Cabinet meetings have been well attended by its members this week, most of its sessions being given to considering the Civil Service bill, which has now received the President's signature. There is a great scramble for places on the civil service board, which are, indeed, very desirable. Among tbe applicants is a colored ex-Congrcssmau from South Carolina. Si nee the passive of the Civil Service bill, the population of the adjoining counties of Maryland and Virginia has been much increased by government em ployees, who were heretofore credited Jo thr District of Columbia, taking up their resi | dence therein, so that they ni?) stand a better I chance of being retained in office when the apportionment according to States is made, as i provided in tbe bill. Several senators will fight the proposed re : ciprocity treaty with Mexico. They sav it is ! one of Jay Gould's schemes to obtain valua ble grants and concessions from the Mexican j government at the expense of American sugar growers and other American interests, Gould and his associates petting all the substance, and leaving the United States nothing but the shadow of advantage. Genera] Grant's presence in Washington has been tbe occasion of a social ovation. Much 4:oing and wining, at which he shows an ability to hold bis own quite worthy of his past reputation. His business here ostensibly is to negotiate a new treaty of commerce with Mexico, but he has other and more important business. He says openly that he came to the assistance of Fitz John Porter. But strHnjje to say, with his military record, bis official and political prestige, he has not succeeded in influencing a single vote in tbe Senate. The ball has been set in motion agHin for bringing Grant out next year as a candidate for the presidency. Tbe basis of his eligibility is readily explained by his special friends. The sources of his strength are many, and while some may be regarded as unpopular, others are thought to have elements of strength for a political purpose. When reminded that a Blaine combination defeated the third term conspiracy at Chicago, Grant's manipulators smile and say : "Why Blaine is as dead a duck as Conkling, his faith is in money as the main-spring of power, be belongs to tbe capi talists, who back us, and bis pocket necessi ties will compel him to combine with us. Mr. Blaine is now in his new palatial home, but has not yet entertained. His bouse cannot be pot in complete order before Spring. He leads a quiet.life, and his friends speak of physical difficulties, which have long been threatening. Be figured prominently at the President's reception ou New Years Day, but he never goes to tbe Capitol, and is rarely seen on the Avenue. Five years ago bis' slightest moveraem was scrutinized and watched. Now, only his personal friends seem interested in bim, His hair is. whiter, and his figure rounder cflate, but he steps vi gorously, grasps the haDd firmly, an3 to an uncritical eye hia-pbysical powers are yet in tact. This atrocious weather has not influenced the attendance arreceptions, which has been good ; showing nv> dimunition of interest in social business, which is, next to politics, the <sbief industry ofAVashington. The ladies of the Cabinet beld tbeir regular receptions, with, the exception of Mrs. Lincoln, who is mourn ing foT her mother-in-law. S, Why Welcome.
