The monster, since known a* Radi-
reared its angry creel.—
The *oben.e of Radical reconstruc
tion was pnt in operation. Its Author,
Tliaddeus (Stevens, boldly proclaimed
that his folio were. hiul camped outside of
the Constitution. Thence began the
troubles which have culminated in the
situation—military, financial and gene
ral—which this unhappy State now pre
sents. Before the present Government
was imposed, through Federal tuiluence,
upon Booth Carolina, the white people of
Booth Oorotins made to Congress tkair
remoaatranoe and submitted their appeal.
These era apon reoonl. Tbe writer of
this letter wae chairman of the oommittee
who bore that remonstrance and appeal
to Washington and laid it before tbe Re
construction Committee of Oongreea
Be had the honor and the privilege of
addressing that oommittee in the base
ment of the Capitol. He spoke to the
heed and front of reoonstraotion—Thad-
dena Elevens himsalf—and protested
against the monstrous wrong that was
shoot to he don* to the o*trwoised white
people of Sooth Carolina. He ventured
farther to my that the regime foisted
upon this State was illogical; that it con
tained the seeds of rain and decay, and
that K contravened tbs lavra of God, and
, therefore, It would not and could
endure. Will not your Bxoellency
it Ibst the writer’s anticipations have
been swiftly realised ? Look this day at
o«r Jtxaeutive, our legislative history, our
ruined guanoes. oar disordered State
stricken in it* liberties and Indnstries !
Let your EiesUeocv contemplate the
spectacle which yon yourself present-
to-day snaking to bold up with
your bayonets the rotten, falling pyra
mid of reconstructed South Caro-
Carolina !—the pyramids which pigmy
statesmen have sought to make rest upon
its sharp apex instead of its broad base.
Bat the scheme of Radical reconstruc
tion was placed in operation. The de
mands of party required the experiment
to bejmade. Need we pcint your Excel
lency to tbe history of Booth Carolina for
the bit the years? It is the history
a pluuderod and ontraged people. It
the history of misrule, profligacy, fraud
and corruption. Mo sooner had the doors
of the State been opened, prior to the
beginning of the reconstruction era,
when n horde of bnngry, thieving, polite-
oal ndveotaren earn* to our State. These
flattered tbe hopes and faltered the pre
judices of the enfranchised freedmen,
and struck hands and united fortunes
with the native roaogadev Thus was
formed a combination whecoe proceed all
the evils that have come upon this State.
Loyal Leagues—secret, oath-bound so
cieties, political, military, religious and
industrial in character—were established
all Avar tbe State. The antagonism be
tween tBo two races that inhabit South
fhsnlina Was artfully kept up. Then fol
lowed the ye events which have made the
tnftory of Radicalism a disgrace to oivi
lizatioa. Gove .nor Scjtt oaganites his

fallow their exs-nple. The brads of leg

cos Soott opens the doors of the peniten-
tianr to hi* oonvict pets, and sends them

been taken by the hands of justioe. The
LandOo emission perpetrates its swindles.
The whole State regime becomes a mass of
oorruptioo, with scaroely a healthy spot
upon its blackened surface. Tho strong

acts of outrages iu this State. It is fol

spirit and purposes alleged to be there

Tho greet bond swindle to about to be
exposed. Governor Hootf enters the con
spiracy. You are waited upon, and yon
are urged to suspend tbe writ of habeas
corpus in Bonth Carolina. You are false-
lr told that the civil pouer, Bute and
Federal, is not equal to the oinergeuey.
The conspirators, well represented in the
persons of Messrs. Worthington, A. B.
Wallace, and Elliott (negro), prevailed,
and your war Upon Booth Carolina be
gins. Yes, although it is nearly seven
years since Appomattox, yon resume war
upon Booth Carolina. Yon pnbhsh your
declaration; yon send your troops; yon
make war upon peaceful communities,
and, beneath the ample folds of you
flag, you allow thieves, robbers and in-
oeudiaries to find safety and shelter. Is
it, Mr. President-General, that tbe lau
rel* yon won in war, fighting for what
you no doubt deemed tbe right—is it
that these laurels must at Gowpens and
near Kings Mountains wither and die?
And now, Mr. President, let me pro
test, not only against the lore and dam
age inflicted causelessly upon oar indus
trial interests, bat also, let me protest,
as I rolemnly do, against the violation of
the great writ of personal liberty, in
volved in yonr proceedings in this Btate
under the Ku-klux act of Con.reel
Hss it ever occurred,to you Excellency
that you are but carrying out the de
crees of an unconstitutional act of a par-
tgited Congress ? It is a well known and
accepted legal maxim, that a delegated
power cannot be delegated. Tbe Con
stitution of tbe United Btates, which you
are sworn to observe, protect and defend,
says that Congress may suspend the priv
liege of the writ of habeas corpus w hen
rebellion or invasion do imperil the pub
lic safety. Mow, although this power it
delegated to Congress only by the Con
stitution of the Republic, yet, the act of
Congress, approved April 20, 1871, seeks
to delegate this power to the President,
and allows him to exercise bis discretion
in deciding when the “rebellion or inva
sion" referred to in the Constitution,
shall be considered as existing. This,
Mr. President, inveetdll you with impe
rial power, and yon might well have
turned away from the sceptre which the
Mark Antonys of Congress tendered to
you. But your Exeellenoy—your Majes
ty, I might odd—seixed the tendered
power. You did more. In yonr procla
mation of October 17 last, yon proceed
to carry on this delegation of a delegated
power. You delegate your power to the
United States Marshal, and he is author
ised to delegate to his deputy, and he to
a soldier, end he to a citizen, and thus it
oomea to this, in the last analysis of the
matter, that the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus rest*, finally, iu tbe hands
of any United States soldier or negro in
the once sovereign Btate of South Caro
lina.
Against this aa a Carolinian, as a citi
zen of the United Btates, as an heredi
tary freeman, I raise my protest, however
ineffectual as it may be. Farther, I raise
my protest, end tbe protest of nil in sym
pathy with me, against all yonr military
proceedings in this State. These pro
ceedings, instigated by personal malice
and for partisan purposes, bave inflicted
a heavy blow apon the industries, as well
as tbe liberties of onr people. They are
uncalled for. I affirm that the civil arm
was strong enough to execute the law iu
South Carolina, aud that a grievous wrong
has been done to this Btate by tbe very
band that should have been raised in
sympathy and defense.
Aud now, Mr. President, let me say to
you, that if your purpose be to break the
spirit of onr people, and nuke them bend
to tho yoke that bus boon laid upon them,
even yonr ginut strength, as the head of
a powerfnl Government, will not beequal
to the task. Cnr people will emerge
from the waves that now threaten to bury
their all. Out oi chaos wilt come order
—out of decay will oomo life. With our
climate, our soil, onr resources, our men,
our women, with all the bounties of a
good God spread before us, we shall not
despair. Nor shall we abandon our mo
ther State in the hour of her greatest
need. Claiming only what is just and
fair, standing by only what is right, we
■hall hold on to the broken altars of the
Btate and poor upon them in lavish
streams the rich libations of a more than
Roman devotion.
If you can rise to the heights of your
duty, it is plain what your Exoellency is
called upon to do. Withdraw your sol
diem. Recall your military edicts. Re
mit us to peaceful pursuits. Think of
Burke when he relented, and pardoned
something to the spirit of liberty. Think
of Cam Ulus, when, by a magnanimous
policy, he nude tlie couquured people of
Latinum the friends of Rome, end thus
added to her power aud diguity.
Your Excellency appears bent upon the
policy of making war upon the Southern
States. Pardon me for the suggestion
that you caunot, if you regard your fame,
retire too soon from this campaign
against yoor own oountryinen. The only
enemy before you are the men, women
and children of plundored, struggling
communities.
The groat heart of the peerless Lee is
still in death, and the war-worn veterans
oi tho armies ef Uxe Confederacy are
making their bread by the sweaiol their
brows You can, Mr. President, win no
houora in year present aggressions; and
even if honors were possible, it might be

We need in Georgia a comprehensive
Polytechnic Institute, where those sub
jects will be taught that are supplemen
tary to the gymnastic or disciplinary
studies now panned at the oalleges. We
need an institute whrew oar young t
can be trainod to bo practical chemists,
mechanical and civil engineers, mining
engineers, arohiteota, builders, scientific
agriculturists, scientific mechanics; where
the opportunity nod inducement will he
offered them to adopt those industrial
professions that are destined to play ao
important n part ia onr civilization. Onr
strength in tbe future lies in ednoatlag
our eons tor their varied industries, as
oat weakness in th* past lay in sedulously
avoiding them. But what do we require
to constitute a polytechnic institute that
will create and supply the demand for
this scientific education? We need, tint,
the apptianoea necessary to teach modem
scionoe, suob that, at Jha present time,
do not exist in any institntion of learning
in Georgia, and such that cannot be ob
tained without large means. Am
them are chemical and physioal laborato
ries, where opportunities will be afforded
students of beooming practically famil
tar with the applications of science;
museums of ores, minerals, soils, imple
ments, etc.; models in Architecture, En
gineering, Mechauica, etc. These being
the appliances wherewith to teach the
applications of science, wonld constitute
the needed ground-work or foundation
whereon to build the proposed Institute.
To use this scientific material there
should he mi-tired competent professors,
earnest men, devoted to their work; and,
in addition to teaching tbe motives of
scientific investigation, and the applica
tions of science, the determining the geo
logical, mineroiogical, and physical re
sources of tbe Btate should receive, in
the proposed Institute, immediate atten
tion. It should be, emphatically, a Btate
Institute—working to develops both tbe
mental and pbvaicul resources of tbe
Btate.
According to our conception there
should be a Professor of MiaWaloay and
Boooeaoie Geology; not a Baiohst, fa
miliar with a few facts; but one known to
be, and reoognised among, scientific
men, as thorough in his department; to
whom should De assigned the duty of
making a mineralogieai and geological
survey of tbe entire Btate, of preparing
charts indicative of its mineral wealth,
and its diversified soil, and of
collecting a museum of minerals and soils,
to. Th's survey would be the work of
yean, bat with a proper divtaioa of tbe
time in tbe leotore room and in the field,
it oould he satisfactorily accomplished.
Then geological excursions would also
sfforil to special aud advauced students
an opportunity of acquiring this practi
cal kuowledge, which would prove of
positive vslue.
This institute should also have a Pro
fessor of Physical Geography, whose duty
it should be to make a physical survey
of the Btate, aud oofleet statistics of the
agricultural products, and the manufac
tures of the different sections Charts,
exhibiting the result of these surveys,
should be published, on wlrioh should be
indicated the water-powers, the valuable
timber, tbe climate, products of the soil,
with statistics of population, Ac., thus
illustrating the natural wealth oi Geor
gia. We possess a princely domain, ex
tending from the mountains to the sea
shore, embracing nearly sixty thonsand
square miles, yet concerning much of
this domain we possess very limited
knowledge. We can obtain more
reliable and aocurato knowledge of
Colorado or Nevada in two hours, by
fering to the United Btates reports, than
we cun acquire of Georgia, by a resi
dence of us many years. We know not
of wbat we are capable. We know not
what wealth we possess. We know not
wbat valuable mineral deposits may lie
hidden in the bowels of our mountains;
nor what rich beds of phosphates may
be iu our low lands.
As sensible men, desiring to develops
our Btate, it becomes us to know these
things, to go to work Bensibly and suc
cessfully, to exhibit to ourselves and the
world, the material wealth of our Btate.
If, under the direction of the proposed
Polytechnic Institute, whose establish
ment we advocate, the mineralogieai,
geological and physical surveys were
completed, or partially completed, and
then were published the charta illustrat
ing ths varied soils, the climate, the fall
oi ruin, the valuable mineral deposits,
the geological formations, the rivers and
streamy with the horsepower, indicating
tbe capacity of the waterfalls, marked at
the proper localities, the valuable tim
ber, tbe railroads, the varied agricultu
ral products, Ac., Ac., of what inesti
mable value would they be to the Btate?
How could we estimate the rich harvests
that we wonld enjoy from such a work?
Can any .reasonable doubt be enter
tained of their beneficial influence, were
such charts and statistics, giving an epi
tome of the natural wealth of Georgia,
distributed in tbe oenters of oapital and
immigration of the old world ? How
otherwise can we we successfully invite
oapital aud immigration, unless we show
to the world the superior natural advan
tages proposed? and how otherwise can it
be done so economically and satisfactorily
ns in tbe manner proposed, under the
direction of a Btate Institute?
There is one other officer essential in
tho prop' *seil Institute, who, ii our
opinion, should bave oonnoetion with the
Btato and the people. Tbe Professor of
Applied Chemistry should be the State
chemist, whose duty It should be, for a
nominal compensation, fixed by law, to
analyse specimens of fertilizer* nsed by
planters; and whose certificates of analy
sis, in such cases, should be the requisite
legal evidence to establish fraud, and
render the claims of the vendor void.
The protection thus afforded to the agri-
eultural community would far more than
repay to the State in- money value, the
entire amount requisite to foond this
much needed institute of applied ecienee
We do not pretend to enumerate all
the offioers needed in the Polytechnics In
stitute. If the Btate should establish it
with a wise liberality, it would expand as
our necessities would demand. But even
with these departments we have enumera
ted, filled with earnest, consistent men,
oan we justly estimate the value of the
investment to the Btate ? Oan we esti
mate the immediate benefits that would
arise from a judicious distribution of such
physioal aborts as we have deeoribed, ia
inviting oapital and immigration, or the
remote good in giving a new impetus to
onr energies and opening new industries.
This is not s fanciful Utopian scheme.
We have revolved it ia our thoughts for
years. Weoommend its consideration
to the thoughtful members of tbe Legis
lators. All that we advocate eau be ac
complished if we will exhibit a eommen
dabie State pride, aad, for th* time,
piece prejudices of looality in abeyance.

The World’s Maw Departure.
Oa Saturday last tbe Mew York World,
ia a doable-leaded article, gave in its for
mal adbatioa to the propositiaa of an
other “new departure” lor the Densoen-
ey. The language it seal is, iu some
respect* SO cloudy and vague thal it ia
imposendo to Say whether it adopts out
right the “psssive policy'' advocated by
tbe Bt Louis Republican, or the organi
sation of an entirely new party, in aocor-
danoe with the views of Carl Schurs.
What, however, is quite clear is that the
Democrat! i party, which east nearly two
millions of votes at the last Presidential
election, is advised to outer into a coali
tion with the Republican opponents of
General Grant, numbering at this time,
according to the suppositions estimate of
the Wond, some four hundred thousand
voters.
No oue, we apprehend, will doubt for
a moment tbe cordial welcome that would
bo extended by the Democracy to to
large a reinforcement of anti-Grant Be
publicans. Bat it is qgite another and a
very different thing for two millions of
Democrats to go over to four hundred
thousand Republicans, especially as tbe
World lays down es the basis of such a
coalition, tflat the Democrats would be
bound in honor and magnanimity to con
cede to their Republican allies as much
as'they ask. What does ouch a stipula
tion amount to, if not to a thorough and
complete surrender of the larger body
to the smaller? “Of course,” adds ths
World, blandly, “it would be an
insult to either side to expect it to
make any saorifloe of principle." It
italicizes ths word “principle, for the
purpose of making it more emphatic, and
yet, at the very tame it does so, it urges
tbe Democrats to oonoede to their new
politics] associates “as much as they «ek.“
Practically, snch a concession amounts
to this—tbe Liberal Republicans are to
dictate the terms of union, and frame
the policy which is to govern the new
party, and tbe Democrats are to eeaept
it, not only unreservedly, but thankfully.
They are simply to vote a new set of Re
publicans into place and power, and when
they have done this tiny are to have all
the advantage they can derive from a
Imran compliment on their “honor au<f
magnanimity.”
This, however, is not all. After ad
monishing the Democracy that it is their
duty to yield eveiything, they are oooly
told that •'both wing* of tbe Reform
party will stand on an equal footing in
everything, and that there will be on
eaoh aide equal willingness and teal to
support a Presidential candidate selected
from tho other.”
Tuc one great object of the proposed
combination is avowedly to keep General
Grant from beooming President for a
second term. What tbe Werkl calls “the
elements of opposition,” are quite simple
and are thus stated: First, “A crusade
against corruption in offioe.” Second,
“Amnesty to the Booth.” Third, “Sup
port of t 1 '" Revenue Reform, or Free
Trade Movement.”
Undoubtedly these are all issues of
vital importance. They involve, more
over, measures of reform that the Demo
cratic party has all along been in favor
of almost to a man. But wbat reason
have we to believe that the Republican
opponents of General Grant will agree
to anile with the Democracy even on this
narrow platform, Let ns look into this
matter a little. Mr. Sumner is known to
be opposed to tbe renomination of Gen
eral Grant It will be admitted that
the Massachusetts Senator exerts a wide
political influence in tbe New England
States Can he be brought to reoogzize
tbe justice of “Amnesty to tbe South?"
Is he not among the foremoet support
ers of the infamous Kn-klux bill? Liv
ing, as he does, in a Btato in which man
ufacturing corporations bave profited ao
largely by a high protective tariff and
with his known views on the subject,
would he turn short round and advocate
“Revenue Reform?”
Take next ths New York Tribune.
That journal, it is yell known, is the
most zealous and persistent advocate of
“a high protective tariff’ of any in
the country. Can Mr. Greeley, who
controls it, be induoed to favor
“ Revenue Reform?” We leave “ Free
Trade” oat of the question entirely. It
is true that Mr. Greeley does not person
ally favor the re-election of General
Grant; but he has, nevertheless, through
the oolumns of the Tribune, avowed his
purpose to support the Republican nom
inee for the Presidency, whether it be
General Grant or any other man. It is
true, also, that the Tribme has fre
quently clamored tor “Amnesty to the
Bonth." But, by one oi those paradoxes
it is impossible to reconcile with good
faith and honesty of purpose, it vehe
mently defends the Kn-klnx law and the
dictatorial powers with which General
Grant ia clothed.
We cite these two prominent instanoes
as illustrating how little ground there ia
for supposing the Republican elements
of opposition to General Grant con be
brought to unite with the Democracy
even upon so simple a platform as that
laid down by tho World. If both Mr.
Bomner ana the New York Tribune
would spurn the platform, whet right
have we to suppose that the bulk of the
anti-Grant wing of the lame party would
not do likewise? There is nothing more
demoralising than to desert principle for
expediency- We have had proof of that
in the Vallandigham “ New Departure,”
and of which the World was jihe foster
father. Are we to be tricked again into
a similar delusion ?
