It Was a Chinese Trick. That Peace Commission Sent to Japan. LONDON, March 10.-The full test of ali the protocols and other correspond enee in connection with th? recent abortive peace propositions cf China to Japan has been received hero. The documents were laid before the Jap? anese Parliament on the 5th of Febru? ary last, and have boen translated into English and printed for t he io forma? tion of the foreign governments They are quite interesting. The las?, of the series is most explanatory and fully dis? closes the attitude of Japan towards China. It consists of a translation of a speech addressed by Count ito, the Japanese plenipotentiary, to Chang In Hoon and Shao Yu Lien, the Chin?se peace commissioners, at a conference held on the 2d of February. Count Ito spoke as follows : "The measure which my colleague ; and myself find it necessary at this mo- j ment io adopt is the logical and in- : evitable result of a situation for which j we are in no wise responsible. "China has hitherto held .herself al-: most entirely aloof from other powers, ! and while she has in some instances eu- ; joyed the advantages accruing to her i as a member of the family cf rtatious, ; she has nerhaps more frequently denied : toe responsibilities of that relation. She ! has pursued a policy of isolation and ; distrust and consequently her esternal relations have not been characterized i by that frankness and good faith which ? are essential to good neighborhood. .'Instances are not wanting in which j Chinese commis, ^ners after having ? formally agreed to international com- j pacts, have refused to affix their seals, and -cases might be eked in which treaties solemnly concluded have been unceremoniously and without apparent j reason repudiated. These unfortunate I occurrences find a suf&cient explanation \ in the fact that China was not cn those 1 occasions seriously in earnest, but be? yond that, it might be said wi?L truth, j that the ofici?is who were designated, ! to carry on negotiations have not beer.: clothed with the necessary authority for I the purpose. "It has from the first been the wish of Japan to avoid results which history ; teaches her are liable to be the outcome j of negotiations with Chinese officials, who . are not clothed with full power in rho sense in which that term is usually un- I derstocd. Consequently the Imperial ' government made it a condition prece- : dent to any peace negotiations that the . Chinese plenipotentiaries should be furnished with full powers to conclude peace, and it .was only upon receiving positive assurances from the Chinese j government that the condition prece? dent had been complied with and that I the Chinese plenipotentiaries then on ' their way to Japan had such powers, that His Majesty, the Emperor of Ja pan, conferred upon my colleague and ; myself thc full po wers to conclude and 1 sign preliminaries of peace with the j plenipotentiaries of China." "That your excellencies' powers are. I notwithstanding that assurance, fatally defective, is to me a sure indication j that the government of China is not yet really solicitious o' peace. "Criticism is nearly exhausted by a | simple comparison of the two instru- ! ments which were reciprocally exchang? ed at this period yesterday, but it is not out of :>lace to point out that one fulfills the definition which is usually . given among civilized States to the j term full powers, while the other is j destitute of neariy all those qualities | which are regarded as essen tia' to such powers; it even fails to- indicate the subject upon which your excellencies are to negotiate ; it does not authorize your excellencies to conclude or sign j anything : it is silent on the subject ot the subsequent imperial ratification cf your excellencies-' ac's. In short, it ; would seem that the authority which has been conferred upon your excel- j lencies' would be completely fulfilled by you reporting ro your government what my colleague and myself might have to say. In this situation, it would, be impossible for us to continue nego? tiations. "It may be urged that usuage is not entirely ignored in this instance. I cannot admit the sufficiency of such au explanation. I disclaim any rieht to interfere with the purely domestic cus? toms of China, our I deem it not only right, but my dury to insist that in in? ternational concerns affecting mv own country, the peculiar method- of China shall yield to the superior rules or in? ternational intercourse*. Tho restora? tion of peace a matter of the great* st importance. To bring about a re-estab? lishment of amicable relations it is not only necessary fha' treaties with that object in view should be signed, but it is imnerative that the engagements should be fulfilled it? good faith. "While Janan 1K?S found no reason :?.> approach China on the subject of peace, she nevertheless feels hound in defer ence to that civilization which she rep? resents to listen to any bona fide over? tures which ('hi?a may advance, bu? she will decline to take part ir. the future in any fruitless negotiations <.r to become a party to a {?aper peace The terms which Japan agrees to wtll be scrupulously observed by her and she will at the same time insist upon a like observance of the terms of China. "Whenever, therefore, China finds herself seriously and sincerely desirous of peace and will confide actual full powets to Chinese officials, whose names ? and positions will serve as an assurance j that ?he terms which they may agree to will be confirm?e! and carried out in good faith, Japan will be prepared to enter upon new negotiations." qris is followed bj the following "memorandum." "The Imperial government- repeated Iv declared through tho United Staten representatives at Yokio and Peking that the appointaient of plenipotenti? aries with fail powers to cone!;:.ie peace was tin iodispensible pre-re<iuisi;e to negotiations on the subject cf peace. .'His Irnperiofi Majesty's plenipoten? tiaries, however. Sod that ?he authori? zation which their excellencies, the plc-u i poten tiarics of His Majesty the Emperior of China communicated to him on the ls: instant, is wholly inade? quate fer toe purpese for which it is claimed ic was issued. It lacks nearly all the essential attributes of f a il pow? ers, as usually understood. "The imperial government has not re? ceded from the position which they announced to the representatives of the United States that they had taken on the subject of fell powers, and the Im? perial Japanese plenipotentiaries having been entrusted by his Majesty the Em? peries of Japan with actual, proper and complete full powers, cannot consent to treat with plenipotentiaries ot His Ma? jesty the Empc-or of China, who are only au'.horized to discuss matters, to report to the Tsung-Li-Yamen and to obtain subsequent commands cf the throne by which they are to be guided. Gader these circumsranees, it only re? mains for the plenipotentiaries of His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan, to de? clare the present negotiations a: an end. Hiroshima. "The 2nd day of the 2nd month of the 28th year of Meiji." ' ! Fowler on the Fraud. Godfrey B. Fowler, of Union Coun? ty, has been a stalwart lie-former, but lie has latterly shown shins of rebellion Indeed, he has kicked completely out of harness cn the preposition to adopt a constitution without referring V bach to the people. and in a letter to the Greenville News is scathing ia his criti? cism of recent occurrences, ile con? cludes hio ratherjuicy communication as follows : Well, when that ??A calling for ; a convention was passed by the Legislature, was that nor all that the committee on platform, ap? pointed by the convention of March 27'h, had asked for. The people voted on it and the vote showed clear? ly that the sentiment of the reform'rs was against it. If there is any doubt as to the correctness of the assertion I think it wiii be dispelled when we think of the small majority tbatcarried it as compared with the majority of tbs votes cast for Evans for Governor. I am not anxious to spread my opin? ions as to the fairness of the elections and the count ; but i am anxious to pro? duce ai! the proof that 1 can to show that the convention plank in the March I platform v.as only to give the people a chance to vote on the matter without encouragement io vote ves L>r co, and '. to show thar the sentiment of the people (Reformers, if 3 ou please) wa* against it. If Tillman had tried to defeat the convention as hard as he tried to carry it, the majority would have been four times iaruer against it thau it was for it. Again, to the count: When we consider that there were none but j "yes" tickets issued by the executive j committee and the "DO" ricket voter were put t>? the trouble of get- j ting their own tickets and then com- \ iug so near votiog'down tho scheme, we must reasonably conclude that the senti? ment of the majority was against the convention. Again, when we consider thc count, coupled with the '.yes'* tick- j ct scheme, throws light, oh the matter ? so that the average mind can come to ; i's own conclusion. I don't say that I there was a wrong count, but ? have reason to believe that the "yes" tick- j cfs were a choice ticket with the com- ' mittec and j believe they were ail j. counted-I don't believe one of ti: tm got away. As to the C"uur of the "nb" j ticket*, they may have hid out some of them, bur ? think not, though when '? they counted I ?jon't think they count- I rd the tail of the coon (don't know where Irby's opnossum was). I fully agree with Senator lily when he says the poor white men in this State are safe under such arrangements and demands as were agreed upon by the Till man and Barnwell party: I desire to call attention to pledge "A" on the suffrage question. They, Tillman and Barnwell, pledge to a qualification of suffrage as will guar- j antee white supremacy, and that no while man shall be disfranchished ex- j eepr fer crime. There is but op" construction f-.r that pledge. The most humbie voter ; knows thar it means simply this, that 1 . very man, both white and col .-red, can ; vote one ballot ; then in addition, j every v??r.-r would be allowed an ad? ditional vote, according to thc prcporry bc owo>. To illustrate : The poor man will be allowed one vote, and one vote extra for every live hundred dollars worth (if property he owns. If he has only five hundred dollar.- he ', would have two votes. The- man that is worth one thousand five hundred dollars w<e,iid vote four ba?ots. ?Now what chance would the poor man haye under sueh a law ? Another way to defeat thc poor man ano yet let him vote could be done by letting the poor man vote, bur not let him hold ollice or sit on a jury unless he owned a certain amount of property. That could be worked and yet every man could vote, but I call that a , double-geared disfranchising mach io just snell as our i mdholder.s aod cor poratioos *>ou!d ?ike to bave to gobo! up the farmers.

Interesting information as to Our Finances. Nov? that the time for the collec? tion of taxes has expired and execu? tions will issue against all dei in quents on the 15th instant, a repre? sentative of The State yesterday made some inquiries from the State Treasurer and the Comptroller Gen? eral as to thc situation and the out? look. What titcy had to say indi? cates tuai the situation is much ira I proved. ; Treasurer Bates said that he was i now receiving pretty rapidly good I remittances from the several county treasurers, and. while he could not say with absolute certainty, he thought j the State would get through the year i without thc necessity of borrowing; Comptroller General Norton stated that he had received letters from a good many of the treasurers and he is of the opinion that the collections ; this year vrill show up' about the average Ile stated further that one county treasurer had written ti.tit ii" j was further behind in his county than he had ever been before. 31 r. Norton stated that consider ? able trouble bad developed in three counties in consequence of the crowding of the treasurer's offices on the last da}7 for the payment of taxes -February 28. Ile savs that in I Sumter County several bankers and large taxpayers had presented on the last day long lists of pieces of property representing a great many taxpayers and aggregating several thousand dollars in taxes The treasurer declined to accept these lists and the money on the ground that he could not possibly at the time the}- were presented make* out the receipts. It seems that the people whose property were on these lists had been endeavoring to arrange with ti:e banks to secure the neces sary money, but had only succeeded in doing so a short time before the lists were presented. The Comp- ; troller, in consequence of this* con- : fused condition of affairs, directed the treasurer to now accept the lists without the penalties just as if the money had benn paid in his hands on Febr?ary llb'. In Georgetown there was a case very much like this. O wino; to the verv larire crowds which jammed tin1 office, the treas? urer was unable to attend to many who presented themselves. The Comptroller has instructed tin Georgetown treasurer to accept now payments from all those who present? ed themselves on the 28th, just the same as he would have done on that day had he had the time. In Union Comity the Comptroller has purs,tied a similar course, but the conditions existing there were different It seems that the treasurer's home was totally destroyed by fire the dav be? fore the lime was to expire, and lie was kept away -Vom his office until after the time had expired-The State, March 10t/?.
