Sw- OltANUEBUtttl C. II., S. C. / \ April l*t, 1871. fTo the. Kditor of X, trs : Pkar Silt?The late tax payers Con vention has made an effort to start im migration to this State, it is iu my mind very questionable, whether uuder the tiuspioes, it was inaugurated, that it will be successfully carried out. Conven tions and ban Lome spee bca do not accomplish much. In the first place Columbia should havo been made the headquarters in st end of Charleston, the Conner city being the ceutar of tho St-ito. The organization is not oo 'plote. Tt should have ieen so arranged as to have energetic and talented men at the hc<d of it, with proper^, assistants of gontlo men which such an undertaking re quires. It seems the progress of clc ting such Commissioners in tbe different counties is making slow headway, as al*o tho collection of uvmey. Commissionnts only havo bcun appointed in a few cou i tics, and it seems the excitement Ins, to some extent died out. If this grand ntcrpriso is expected to sueojed tho work should commence. .In 1865 the Legislature appropriated ? [fen thousand dollars for iuiinigration A resident agent was appointed in Charleston at a salary of $1500 per annum. The pr-sent commissioner and one other gentleinnu went to Germany to bring immigrants?the money was spent and nothing accomplished except putting the money where it did most good, hence 1 f<ar this second attempt will end with tbe same result, unless energetic measures aic t.-.ken, and in a different direction. Wo can procure plnnty immigrants of tjho right class if we go to tho right plaoo, aud that is tho South and Ceu I Aral Grrmany, (and not the North,) a country that has thirty fivo millions of people, out ef u population of forty million:!, which the Gorman Empire now contains. These people are the best or as good agriculturalists as tlnro ure in Europe, and they, as families, will bring money with them. They arc not like those stragglers and paupers we got out of New York lately by tho great exertion of certain parties, who did so much blowing in the newspapers. Some of these people hare already left their employers, nnd the balance will do tho same, when thoy got money enough to do so, but if we bring families bero. nnd after they lay out their money for land they will ziirk. South and Cen tral Germany consists of the following 0 mntries, Bavaria, Weirtemberg, Badon, IIcsso, Rhine Provinces, Central Ger many, Saxony, Alsuoo, Lorn in, (tho lattor two taken from Franco in tho late war,) Saxony, and Switzerland. IIpre 1 will say that Orangeburg, Lexington, Newberry nnd Edgeiold counties wero principally settled by South Germans who came faoni the above countries 144 years ago. Charleston or South Caro lina was bettor known in Germany than . Now York. The former being a much larger commercial port than tho latter. 11 mice thrso pcnplo camo direct to Charleston. New York now has laid everything in tho shade. There arc now about 40 stoameis running between Now York and Bnltimoro to Br men Hamburg. Stettin nnd Antwerp, besides about 100 more to other European ports. This is what brings the immigrants to New York. Tho West hus her agon's all over Germany inducing tho peop'o to some to that part of tho United States. Their tickets nro purchased by these agents (tho {emigrant paying for it) at their very home, direct via Now \Tork to their place of destination, bonce they, on their arrival pass right through New York, without a days delay, where they cannot be fleeced and taken in by the ring of agents and subordinate officers^ of this celebrated charitable institution called ?Cnss'e Garden, where gross deceptions are practicod.J I am sat if fled that the same e&u be effected as Jto immigrants coming to this State, viz: procure through tickets liom *nny pait of Europe to any Bail Road Stut'oii in South Carolina. I will obligate myself to effoot such an arrange mcut. I will now give tho people of South Caioliua a little information as to what extent those who brought immigrants here from New York (of all grades of society,) what credit they deservo in doing so. - In his lato report the Presi dent excused hims-lf for. paying the pn*e.ige of 300 emigrants to this State, he said, "It is bolter to get rid of them in that way than to feed them for four months." These are uot the kiud of people we want, l um sure. It would b-J, perhapn, a good plan if several counties would join together and effect .their own arrangements in this matter. I would b? glad if some of our citizens would propose some plan by which the so much desired object oan be realized. 1 have made a proposition to the Commissioner of the State to act in conceit with hint, but he has not even condescend to answer my communica tion. 1 have several articles in reserve, and I hope my information m iy pr)ve in jcrcsting to tho citizens of South Cam liua.

The following is n eareful abstract of the decision oi the State Supreme Court in the ease of C. 11. Miles and L. D DeSnussure, Trustees, Appellants, vs. S. J..-King,4>. IfceWJ King. and CJ.eb Sauls, Respondents, involving the quei tion of the validity and Constitutional ity of tho Re Recording Acts of 136G. The opinion was delivered by Chie* t Just ice Moses : Supreme CourV, S. C. November Term, 1873. C. R. Mile- and h: I). Do Saussure, Trustees, Appellants, vs. S. J. King, C. P. W. King, and Caleb Sauls, Respondents. Opinion by Moses, C. J. This was the case of a mortgage for purchase money, recorded under tbe act of 1843, but not re recorded as roquired by the act of 18ti(i j the record * of Col . lcton County, where the record was made, having, been destroyed during the war. In 1SG1 Hull beenmc a creditor of the mortgagor, 8. J. King, and in August, 18GS, under ujudgmout obtain ed, by Hull against King, Sauls pur chased at hheritl's sale the Lnd which was the subject of the suit. The Court says ; "Assuming that the mortgage waa executed iu conformity with the acts of 1843, the points involved, in tho grounds of appeal draw in question the validity ol the acts of 1SGG, Iii stat at largo, pp. 381?111, bo tar a< thny are held by the circuit decree to a licet, it. Sauls prcsenta himself iu the position of a r-ubs-cqueiit purchaser for valuable cons deration without noticj ; and it is error on the purt o!" the appellants to contend that the mortgage having been on ie?< rd when Hull, in 1801, became.| the creditor of 'In. uio.tgagor, the u ttice thu" bit dii g him must be hold to extend to the respondent, the purchaser. There is no connection between thorn. The equities between Hull, the credit ir, a.id King, the d btor,ill no way, either in >*i;tii<l Vohj>., vt'Uj'infplrao io'n, attain* t-> tho purchaser :?t sheriff's pi'o, wh-> takes 1m title, u it me h'atilfa but itn nied ately, as is ?aid in MeKnight*vs. Gordon Ii ich..

Was bound by the notiee which the ercli'nr, nnd-;r whose judgment the land waisold. l.ad of the pre-exlstini: mortgage when the debt duo him was contracted. The court then proceeds to discuss the question of tho validity and ennstitu'ion ulity of the He recording Ao's of IRG'J, and decides in their favor, basin.; its decision upon the ground that the ''General Assembly has a right to d:vost vested rights, and to enact statutes retrospective in their action, provided they do not impair the obligation of con tract. " Upon this point it refers to tho following cases : Sailorly vs. Matthew son, 2 Pet.*, 380 ; Watson vb. Mercer, 8 Let, 110 ; Charles River Hridge vs.i Warren Rridge, 11 Pet., 420 ; Kloren' tine vs. Raston, 2. Wal, 210. It do olarcs that the nets of 1SGG are not retrospective, and did not affect the past; that registration was no* part of \ the contract between I lie parlies to t he tuortgagc ; und that; "the act of (1843 contained no stipulation that involved any prohibition agrinst the State to' require a compliance with any new re gulations whieh it might impose to make' the registration law more perfect, and certainly none which prevented it, when, by causes beyond its control, the pro visions of the net of 1843 ceasod to effect the purpose contemplated by it, in the way of notice, from supplying the means by which notice of tho mortgage of ap pellants should bo given to tho public:" "Actual notice on tho part of Sauls," says the Court, "wae not proved, and the appellants tailed to afford him the constructive notice which the law gave them an opportunity for i in parting! In what possible way can Sauls be said to hold tho attitude of a purchaser with notice? And if he does not He'is en titled to the benefit of his purchase."
