i'll* deplorable ? ondltloit of Our Pub
bile Affair* aa Described by a Tribune
Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, February 22.-The con?
dition of Sooth Oarolina is deplorable.
In the days of secession it was the
greatest offender. In the days of re?
construction it is tho greatest sufferer.
The government of the State was for?
merly in the hands of en aristocracy.
They were a body of men jealoua, wil?
ful, dogmatic, but high-toned and
honorable. The roll if its representa?
tives in Congres i for near three qaartera
of a century, the names of its oivio and
military heroes in the war of the revolu?
tion, shine with a lastre that is undim?
med by comparison with the mon of any
other State.
True to the souvenirs of its former
history, it precipitated the slaveholders'
rebellion, and led its hosts to theil
doom. It songht in ita passion a bloody
arbitrament on tho field of battle, and o
bloody arbitrament it bas had. With
GO,(JUO voters, it put 70,000 soldiers in
the field. The end came, and Sooth
Oarolina was black with desolation.
The smoke and the fire of civil wai
ascended from every hoosehold, and the
stain of blood was on the garments ol
every survivor. Its yoong men had
swiftly gone down to bloody graveB till
the dead outnumbered the living. Tin
means of snpport were swept away as by
fire and whirlwind. Havoc, and spoil,
and ruin were its only gain. This it
where the end of tho rebellion left
Saith Carolina. What has been it?
oouditiou since? What is its condition
now?
The population of the State is some
thing over 400,000 blacks, mid some
thing under 300,000 whites. Tn o res ni
of the war bus mado ? yet greater dis
proportion in the comparative number.1
of the voting population. These ar?
estimated to be in 'the proportion o
10,000 white to 60.000 black voters, tin
aggregate, being over 100,000. But ii
ibo Legislature, out u>f 121 members
diere are but thirteen representatives o
the white minority. Tho rest of tb?
mscmbly is black, with the exceptio]
.hat here iiud there is a white repre
tentative of a black constituency. Thor
tro enough of these, along with a fev
ntoliigcnt colored, people, to lead tb
great muss of ignorance aud barbarian
if which tho main body is composed.
Without going into details, it i
mough to say thut tho men who lcm
iud manage tho Legislature und tb
Slate Government aro thieves and mis
treen ts. The great body of tho Logia
attire are the ignorant uud corrupt in
trutnents with which thu leaders work
ind thoigh tho individuals composin

?asea is relieved of much of its crimine
ity by reason of the denseness of thei
gnoraoce. Numbers of the blacks wh

iloyees of the Governmont. Their pn

Phone votes are bought and sold withot

Ie sella it. He owns his chicken. E
ells it. He considers his voto just i
ouch a part of his personal property t
tis mule and his chicken. Why shou
te not sell it also? Ho does ?oil it, at
ie naively wonders that anybody shou
omplain.
Of oourse, the scale of pay varier.
3 just according to each man's intel
;ence and rapacity. A few hundn
lollara in special gratuities is enough
at'ufy the demands of u plantation n
;ro. Others get more, and more, ai
a oro. Ouo of the smarter sort w
censed, the other day, on the floor
he House, by a colleague, with th?
laving $12,000 of State bonds in 1
tocket, corruptly obtained. And t
barge was not denied.
Bat the evidence of gross and univ?
al corruption is palpable in the w
verybody Jives who ha? anything to
nth the Government. Thereisahapr.
.o-lucky air among thom nil. If a bia

Ie works no more. He has no oci

ame with the occupants of tho exe?
ive offices. AU are sleek and fut w
heir ill-gotten gains. They are li
Crates who have captured a richly-lad
hip. They riot in the plunder, cari
iOt ut all for, nor even thinking of, 1
wners.
But the irrefrugible evidence of gig:
io theft und corruption stuods liki
monument in the vast in?rense of
.tate debt, an increase for which thor
othing to show. The State may
earohod in vain to find where the moi
as gono. It is in no publio work.
} in no schemes of publio improverne
t has simply been stolen. It has gi
oto the pockets of the highway robb
tho compose the legislative and
xecutivo government of tho Stute,
told tho stupendous sums! In 1H65,
londed debt, according to the repor
he Congress Committee, who have la
o turned from their investigations, wai
ouod numbers, $5,058.000. In 18Gf
/aa $6.454,000. On the 20th of Deo
ier, 1871, it had risen to the enorm
ggregato of $15,768,000. It was
ven oortain that this sam covered
rholo liabilities of the State. So m
raud and complicity iu oorrnpt prnol
ty the State offioials had been d
oped, so mueh chicanery had been
arthcd,so much wilful concealment
pparent ignorance of the amount ol
obberies and isaacs of the Stute b<
iras manifested, that there wa t no
aiuty that oven the frightful uggre
milich was established would not bc
dented when all tho plundering
omo to light.
But whether it bc moro or no)
lave hero an addition to tho Statu
ince tho war of nour Si 1,000,000.
hin sn m has been, million by mil
dollar by dollar, deliberately stolen by
the vill?jua who have had possession of
the State since that period, with the ex
oeption of fiooh moderate sams as were
necessitated by the measures of recbn
atrnotioD.
The methods of robbery have been too
various and universal to be enumerated
in an exposition so general as this. Suf?
fice it to say, that they have involved
everybody of any account who belongs
to the majority. It is a trembling morass
of corruption that shakes ander the
tread of the investigation. There is no
obanoe to stop or punish the flagrant
crimes that have been oommitted, be?
cause everybody, outside of a mero
handful of representatives of tho tax?
payers, is implicated. Whatever vil?
lainy is exposed, or whatever investiga?
tion is threatened, silence is at once
restored by threatening the threatener
with an examination and exposure oi
their own criminality. It is simply o
baud of robbers threatening to tell OD
one another. Was thefo ever such 9
burlesque on froe government?
The State is mired, and there seems to
be no standing ground for an effort at
extrication. And yet it must bo extri
cated, or govorcment is a failure. Ac
has been already said, there are but
thirteen representatives out of 124 mern
bers of the Legislature who are regard
ed ns representatives of tho tax-payers ol
the Stato. Of these, eight come fron
two upper Counties adjoining Georgia
These representatives are tired of a hopo
less struggle against the thieves who have
plunged the Stute in bankruptcy, ant
threaten general confiscation. Thest
two Counties have petitioned to be se
off to Georgia. As their excision wonk
just itbout extinguish the trifling mino
rity of tho Legislature, and leavo it ?
unit in its corruptions', it is supposed th
mujoiity will grunt tho prayer. So tba
thu lust remnant of the holding groom
of tho tux-payers seems lo bo on thi
point of disappearing.
It is thus that 300,000 white people
more or less, composing the intelligent
aud property-holders of the State, an
put under tho heel of 400,000 paupe
blacks, fresh from a stato of slavery am
ignorance most dense. Guided by un
principled adventurers from other States
who make use of theso freedmen as thei
agents for the most nefarious acts whicl
were ever committed uuder tho shelte
of repnblicau forms of government
this blind and unintelligent mass is pre
cipituted upon tho intelligence um
wealth of the State till they ure burie
?ut of Hight.
It is sometimes asked why thu whit
people of tho State do not endeavor t
influence the blacks by kind treat moe.
?iud persuasion as to their truo interest)
The answer is, that thu jealousy of th
black of his old master is profound, un
yielding aud universal. Where th
kindest personal relations prevail, whe/
the freedmen remain on tho old plant:
tions, and work the land on shares i
contentment aud harmony with the pr<
prietors, tbe testimony is that, BO fur 1
roting is concerned, the old master
utterly without influence. Ile cann<
obtain a vote orthepromi.se of a vote. I
this matter, the black will liston only l

But in voting, he is steeled to his nd vic

Is there to be no expiation? Recollect
