On account of the growing dissatis

we bate ever regarded tbe representa

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

In behalf of the delegation be says that
such a proposition could not be enter
tained for a moment, since the sacred

cation of official short-comings mon
strous. While we doubt tbe wisdom
of an in variable application of such a
rule we, of course, will quietly allow
die matter to drop if further remark in
the present instance would result in
damage to the character of any one.

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.

Delinquent Land Sales.
^3fr. 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,

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,
