We are fully satisfied that there has'been an extensive, fraudulent over-ieaae of State bondB. The minimum ia about$10,000, 000.. The maximum may be $30,000,000? more or less. What, is the immediate remedy? The patient ia ill. The Charleston Courier advises repudiation ol the bonds issued in fraud. The Charles? ton Nowa says, "stop ike supplies." The Winnsboro News says, "call a conven? tion." In onr judgment, all of these expedients may ooma in hereafter. At present, the expedients proposed fail to meet the case. They are premature.

O?, iTcrvember 15,1871. , To Hie Excellency U. S. Grant, Pr?sident of the UnU&L States. > ;BIB; At thia cri?is iii the public affairs of thia S tato, ? venturo to address myself to your Excellency. As a Booth Carolinian, and also lan American oit izo n, it ia my right and my i Privileg!}, if I so chooso, to place the case ol ?my State before .tho President of the Repub? lik). 1 shall do so, with a duo regard for the high office which yon hold, and with a fuU ap? preciation of my comparative obscurity. At tho'eamo time. I sholl discharge my solf-lm p'q?bd duty with that oaudor and, spirit befit? ting the occasion and tho groat Interests in? volved. Let me, in the .first place, remark that there ie anotb?r roan oh why it ie not unbecoming in ,me to approach your Exoollenoy. Your At .tortoy-tienera l was reo?ntly on duty at York ville, In this H tate, and, whilst there, I am in? formed that it is bot unlikely that ono Adiokes, a white mah, and one Hammond, a negro man, did report a distinguished Carolinian, and tho ?writer, as the head-centres of the Eu Klux or? ganisation of'Booth Carolina. Allow me, Before proceeding farther, to brand this state? ment as unqualifiedly false. I challenge and defy the meanest and most unscrupulous henchman that yon may have in South Caro? lina to connect my name, or my private or my 'public conduct, with any act at variance with tho law. Apart from its philosophy and true interpretation, 1 know as little of this alleged Kn KJuxiam in portions of Bonth Carolina aa does your Exoellenoy. Bot of that philosophy and true interpretation, I have very distinct views; which 1 shall take oooaeion to submit to your Exoellenoy in the course of this letter. With these preliminary observations, 1 shall now undertake to lay before your Exoellenoy ?nd the country the case of injured and mis? represented Houth Carolina. You have put the aase in court. You are the nigh prosecu? tor. I make myself the advooate of tue State j-obscure in name, but strong in the integrity pf rey oaoao-ttirice-armed, bf pause my quar? rel ls jEsY. Allow me, now, to carry your Ex pellenoy back to Appomattox.. Ypu will not object., If a sad .day. .to us of the South, it ?waa a proud day for you. On that day South Carolina, in common with the Southern Con? federacy, y i olde d to Heaven's deorse and your strong battalions; gave up the cause for which she had gallantly fought, and snrron gered aU the hopes and ali the dreams of outhern nationality. Tho State formally re ?iealed the ordinanoe of seooasion, abolished he institution of African slavery within her i ordo ra, and reeumed|in general her obliga ions to tho Fed' i I Union. . The future be*, a > promising. The late Confederates and our people generally want pd a oountry to love, and of which to be proud. They were disposed to give to the United States flag much of the devotion that had been lavished on the "Conquered Bau nor." Eat the couran of/good feeling was not suffered to run smooth, and to ooaduot us to a united people and a restored Union, The fell, spirit of party ism developed itself. The. monster since known as RADICALISE reared its angry croat. The Boheme ot Radi? cal reconstruction waa put in operation. Itt author. Thaddeus Stevens, boldly proclaimer that his followers had oamped outside of thi Constitution. Thence began the .trouble; whioh have culminated in the situation-mi Jitary, financial and general-which thia un happy State now presents. Before the pre sent government was imposed, through Bede ??l Influence, upon South Carolina, tho whit? oople of South Carolina made to OongroBi their BEHOXBTEAKCE and submitted their AP PEAL. These are upon record. The write: of this lotter was chairman of the committei who bore that remonstranoe and that appea to Washington and laid it before the Reoon etrnotion Committee of Congress. He ha< the honor and the priviloge of addressioi that committee in the basement of the Capt toi. He spoke to the head and front of re construction-Thaddeus Stevens bimsolf and protested againet the monstrous wroni that was shout to be done to the oatraoia ?< White people of. South Carolina. He ven tared further to say that the regime foiste< upon this State waa illogical; that it coutume ?the seeds of ruin and decay; that it contra vened the laws of Ood, and tn at, therefore, i would not and could not endure. Will no your Excellency admit that the writer's anti pipatious have boon swiftly roalized? Loo tnis day at our Executive, our legislative hu tory, our ruined finances, our dieordere State strickeu in its liberties and its indue tries! Let your Exoelleuay contemplate th Spectacle which you yourself present-to-da seeking to hold up with your bayoneta (h rotten, falling pyramid of reconstructs South Carolin?! -tho pyramid which pigm statesmen have sought to make rest upou it sharp apex, instead of its broad base. Bot'the schbmo o? Radical reooustrcctio Was p.aced in operation. The demands c PABTY required tue experiment to be mad? Need we point your Excellency to the hil tory of ?outli Carolina, fur the last thre years? It is tho history of a plundered an put raged people. It is tho history of misrul? Erofligaoy, fraud and corruption. No soom ad the doors of the State been opened, prie to tho beginning or thu reconstruction en when a horde of hungry, thieving politici adventurers came to our State. These fla tered the hopes and fostered the prejudic* of tho enfrauchisod freedmen, and strue hands aud united fortunes with the nath renegades. Thus wae formed a combin&tioi whence proceeded all tho evils that have con Upon tins State. Loyal Leagues-eecre Oath-bound societies), political, military, rel pious and industrial in character-were eeti {dished all over tho Btate. 'Die ant agon?a between the two races that inhabit Bout Carolina was artfully kept up. Then follow? those events which have made tho history < Radicalism a disgrace to civilization. Go ficott organizes his nogro militia, and arn hem with Winchester rifles and ball oa tridges. State officials steal and Conn offiioials quickly follow their example. Tl hands of legislators close upon open bribe dov. Scott opens thu doora of the ponito tiary to his convict-pets, and sends the back to tho communities whonoe they hi been taken by the hands of justice. Tl Land Commission perpetrates its swindle The whole State regime becomes a mass corruption, with BOarooly a healthy spot up< its blackened aurface. The Btroup arm South Carolina becomes weak, nerveless ai pulseless from corruption. Under these ci oumetanoes, need your Excellency wood that ontlawa in the high oflloial seats of tl State should have engendered the spirit outlawry in the pooplo? Under such cironi stance?, noed your Exoellenoy wonder that Eortlohs of this State,' acts of violence shou aye boen commit tod? Is it unreasonat that, provoked beyond endurance, local ti fenaive and protect Ivo hands may have bo organised? Whatever tour Excellency m think, we know what- tho judgment of t country will be when all the facts of the ea shall bo brought out. That judgment will that, if men in the up-country bavo sinne they have ?Iso been sinned against; and ' shall not be surprised if the oountry dc not yet wonder at the moderation and endi ance of our peoplo. ' Let your Exoollenoy now understand i frilly on this subject. I oppose, and ha ever opposed, secret associations, organiz for political or disciplinary purposes. I I HnvA that tho evil ?h*r?witu associated o?r terbalanoea the good. There aro, in a dd i th ethioal considerations which control my juc mont and determine my'action upon t question. Whilst, therefore, I cannot defo what there is, or may htvo been, Of Ku Kit ism in South Carolina, I intend, novor thole to give my impressions as to RB true philo phy ?nd ita correct interpretation. H o wo vor diverted by bad and irresponsible men from ita original purpose; however need in eotne OMS? to,-gratify poraonal mallee ?nd carry private end?; whatever there ia, or haa been, of Ku Klusifcm in portion? of South Carolina, grew out of the weakness ?nd corruption ot our Bute regime, and had for ita object the protection of person and property? even to tbs'summary Infliction of death upon evil doers. This was a bold resolve. This was a desperate remedy. Bet 1st ne not forest that the disease was alto desperate, and the pro vocation great. I cannot defend the acts of summary vengeance committed, either by white men or negro men. I leave the actors in ihojo transactions to the judgment of Heaven amt the Judgment of the country. Before these tribunals each man, who has a-sumed the responsibility of executioner, m nat answer for himself. The onus of the act reats upon the actor. But those conside? rations shall not prevent me from raising my voice against the efforts to mia-repreaent our .people and , to make political capital out of 'those aots of violence wbioh have been the direct rosult of a corrupt and feeble adminis? tration of. the laws. - Is it to bs wondered that where there is no law, that the people should make a law unto themselves? Ia it to be wondered that the Loyal Union Leagues ?should have led to the formation of opposing 'defensive and protective societies? I have thus, Mr. President, brought the history of events in South Carolina to a com? paratively resent period. Whatever tiwre waa of Eu Kluxism pr Lynoh law organisa? tions in Booth Carolina, produced a profound impression upon the thieving officials, c?tate and County, in thia State, upon the malicious negroes, and upon ovil doers in general. A sword of Damocles was suspended abo ve the heads of these people, and the State grew quiet. Good men felt no fear. Bad m< L trembled. They knew not how soon the avenger would oome. But this state of things was, of course, not agreeable to the carpet? bagger, the renegade and the malicious negro. This sword of Damocles must be re? moved. Governor Scott could not remove it. He Baw and trembled. Then was formed the great conspiraoy, in wbioh you, Mr. President, have been drawn as an instrument to carry out the programme of unscrupulous and alarmed men. lhe plot opens with a gross exaggeration of tho acts of outrages in thia Stato. It is followed up with mis-representa? tions of the spirit and purposes alleged to be therewith connected. The plot thiokena. The great BONO SWINDLE ia about to be ex? posed. Governor Bcott enters the conspiracy. You aro waited upon, and you are urged to suspend th? writ of habeus corpus in South Carolina. You are falsely told that the civil power. State and Federal, ia not equal to the emergenoy. The conspirators, well repre? sented in the persons of Messrs. Worthing? ton, A. 8. Wallace and Elliott, (negro,) pre? vail, and your war upon Mouth Carolina be? gins. Yea, although it ia nearly seven years since Appomattox, you roaunie war upon Booth Carolina. You publish your declara? tion; you Bend your troops; you make war upon peaooful communities;'.and, beneath the ample folds of your flag, you allow thieves, robbers and incendiaries to find eafety and shelter. Ia it, Mr. President-Genoral, that tho laurels you won in war, fighting for what you no doubt deemed the right-ia it that those laurels must at Oowpons and near Kings Mountain withor and die? And now, Mr. President, lot me protest, not only against the loss and damage inflicted causelessly upon our industrial interests, but also,let me protest, as I solemnly do, against the violation of the great writ of personal liberty, involvedinyour proceedings in thia State, under the Ku Klux Aotof Congress. Has it ever ooourred to your Excellency, that you are but oarrying ont the decrees of an unconstitutional Act of a parCyised Congress? It is a well-known and accepted legal maxim, that a delegated power oannot be delegated. The Constitution of the United States, wbicb yon are sworn to observe, protect aud defend, says that Congress may suspend the privilege pf the writ of habeas corpus when rebellion or invasion do imperil the public eafety. Mow, although this power ia delegated to Oongreat nnly by the Constitution of tho He public, yet the Act of Congress, approved April 20, 1871 I seek" to delegate this powor to the President end allows bim to exercise hie discretion ir deciding when the "rebellion or invasion,"re ferred to in the Constitution, shall be cnn biderod as existing. Thia, Mr. President, in vested you with imperial puwer, and yut mjght Well hare turned away from the seep tro wiiioh tho Mark Antonys of Congress ten dered to you. But your Excellency-youi Majesty, I might add-seised the tendere* I power. You did more. In your proclamatioi pf October 17, last, you proceed to carry oi this delegation of a delegated power. Yoi delegate yonr power to the Uuitod State Marsha!, and he is authorised *.o delega o ti his deputy, and he to a soldier, and he to i litizen, and thus it comes to this, in thu las analysis of the matter, that the suoponsioi of the writ of habeas corpus rests, finally, ii the hands of any United ?tates soldier o negro in tho once eovereign State of Soutl Carolina. Against tbie as a Carolinian, aa a citizen o the United 8tatea, as au hereditary freeman I raiae my protest, however ineffectual it ma; be. Further: 1 raise my protest, and the prc' test of all in sympathy with me, against a; j >our military proceedings iu this r?tate these proceedings, instigated by persona I malice and for partisan pnrponoB, have m timi ed ? heavy blow noon the industries an weil a the liberties of our people. Tliey wore ur called for. I affirm that the civil arm wa strong enough to execute the law in bout Carolina, and that a grievous wrong ha? bo? done to this State by the very hand tnt should have been raised in sympathy and d< fono?. And now, Mr. PrOBident, let me Bay to yo that if yonr purpose bo to break tho spirit ? onr people, ?nd make them bond to tho yuh that baa been laid upon thom, even yoi giant strength, as the head of a powerful gt vornimmt, will not bo equal to the task. Or tieople will emorge from the waves that no hreacen to bury their all. Out of chaos wt como order-out of decay will como li fi With our climate, our soil, our resources, oi men, our wemen, with all the bounties of good GosVspread before ns, we shall not di .pair, flor shall we abandon our mothi Stato in the hour of her greatest nee? Claiming only what is just and lair, standic by only what is right, wo shall hold on to tl broken altars of the ?tat o and pour upon thei in lavish streams tho rich libations of a moi than Homan devotion. If you can rise to tho hoights of your dut lt is plain what your Excellency is called upc to do. Withdraw yonr soldiers. Itocall yoi military odiots. Remit us to peaceful pu suits. Think of BURKE, when he relente. ?nd pardoned something to tho spirit i liberty. Think of GAMILLOS, when, by & maj nanimons policy, bo made tho conquere people of Latium tho friends of Rome, st thus added to ber power and dignity. Yonr Excellency ?ppoars bent upon tl So'ioy of making war upon tho Southe] tates. Pardon nie for tho suggestion tin you cannot, if yon regard your fame, roth too aoon from this campaign against your ov oountrymon. The only enemy before you a the mon, women and ohildren of pluiidpro struggling communities. The great heart of the poorlees Leo is st in death, ?nd the war-worn vetorau? of t! irmien of the Confederacy aro making thc breed by the sweet of their brows. You c?
