. D ]yi “I beg of you not mitmuder
aud our positioi, We are and al
<l^ 8 have been of the best blood in
’ I “ Carolina, arid, sir, have been
rather in a p<jy>ifeion rather to repel
than to iuvite tk© social advances of
the wbite people who have come h-e-r-e
to govern u& Some of them, you see,
B,r * are so very low that wo did not
oare to hold intei course with them - -
o e have been quite intimate wLh the
family of Gov. Scott, who, by the way,
tar, is one of nature’s noGIe-men, and
alno with many others until we found
them to be s-c-a-m p-s, when we cut
them instantly.
SPEAKER MOPS HORSE RACE.
‘‘Wasn’t Moses one of them, sister?’
spoke up the less cautious Louisa. —
Miss Lottie frowned, but finally said,
“Yes, Moses is a very disreputable
person, although I am ashamed to say
ho is a Carolinian.”
I was somewhat shocked to bear the
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives spoken of so disrespectfully, and
,1 therefore questioned the young lady
more closely.
“Moses frequently gets SIOOO for a
decision/ ’ she said, “and in that and
other ways he has ■accumulated a for
tune so rapidly. He owns several fast
horses, arid is a sport of the first wa
ter. The other day the whole Legis
lature adjourned to attend a horse race
between one of Moses horses and an
other in town. The Moses horse lost
the race, and Moses himself lost S3OOO.
Now, what do you suppose Moses did ?
Why ho put the S3OOO tight into the
legislative appropriation bill that Gov.
►Scott vetoed. Moses goes into no so
ciety here—not even with the whites.
Ho has long since been excluded from
respectable colored soci-e-ty. He is a
very great s-c-u-m-p. I presume you
have heard of that detestable Crews,
lmvo you not? Oh! Ido detest that
man. He exercises a great power over
our ignorant colored people, and he
turns that power to his own advantage.
He and Moses are great friends, and
they are at the head of all the swind
ling schemes in the Legislature. Then
there is that schocking Dennis; that
man you know, who put the furniture
in the Statebouse. Dennis is the
worst man in the Legislature except
Moses. He is worse than Crews, be
cause lie is smarter and works more
evil. Dennis is a most Horrible
s-e-a-m-p. He used tc call on us very
frequently; but he finally became so
corrupt and unblushing that we were
afraid he would compromise us in some
way, and so we snu-b-b-ed h-i-m-”
WHAT THE FAMILY THINK OF GOV. SCOTT.
“What do you think of Gov. Scott’s
present course ?”
“ike Governor is between two fires
now. He is endeavoring to please
both parties. You see, the Governor
sees, as we all do, that a change is
bound to come to the political firma
mnt here, and while he wants to
avoid an open rupture with the pow
ers that be, he is yet anxious to p e
pare the way to an easy march into
►Senator Sawyer’s place.”
“Do you think the Governor is anx
ious to be senator ?”
“Oh, yes ! and that detestable Moses
is planning and plotting to be Gov
ernor. But Moses will be defeated if
ho runs. The colored people will go
dead against him. He has deceived
them so often.”
“In what way ?”
“Oh! by giving them bud advice, in
order to accomplish his own selfish
pur-po-ses. For instance, in a politi
cal campaign he attends all their balls
and parties, and dances with the col
ored women of low degree in society,
tell'ng their fathers and brothers that
he prefers their society to that of the
whites, and flattering them up to the
top notch. Then, when he has got
their votes, he quietly ignores them,
and never notices them who placed
him in power. By such means, and
by his unblushing rnscal-ity, he has
won the contempt of the colored peo
ple, and is now excluded from their
society.”
“Is Speaker Moses the only one that
has done this?”
‘Bless you, no sir. They ah do it.
Oh! they are a grout set of
s-c-a-m-p-s.’
‘Do you think Goyeruor Scott will
go over to the Democrats ?’
‘Oh, no, but I think he will become
a Reformer. He is very much dis
gusted with the people around him.’
WHITTEMORE A GREAT SCAMP.
‘How about Whittemore?’
‘Whittemore is a great scamp, and
the colored people put no eonfldeuce
in him at all. He is a rascal, and is
only using the colored men for his own
benefit. If all the Senate w r as compos
ed of such men as he, it would be a
most hoirible body.’
‘I thought Whittemore was trying to
be honest.’
‘He tues to make people believe so,
but he can never succeed in that. He
is a natural born scouudrei, and I tell
people so whenever my opinion is ask
ed.’
‘Does he visit yon ?’
‘Oh, my, no ! We wouldn’t receive
him. He is too iow to be tolerated
for an instant.’
WANT TO GET NEA l AIK. BEECHER.
‘Shall you remain in Columbia in fu
ture ?’ I inquired.
‘No; we are making arrangements
now to resign our offices and move to
Brooklyn. lam told that il is a
b e-a-u-t-i-f-u-1 city, and I should like
to live there. Besides society is so
much better there, and we can attend
Mr. Beechers church. Oh ! we do all
loyo Mr. Beecher so much. I could
put my arms around his neck and kiss
him for the great service he has done
us. Besides, we are just a little bit
afraid of the Ku-Klux-Klap. Things
are getting to such a pitch bej;e that 1
believe the Ku-Klux will visit Colum
bia before long, and when that terrible
time comes, we must bo away from
here.’
I hen you hold office here do yon ?
‘Oh, yes; we thought we might as
well have our share too,’ (iangbingfy )
•Can you afford to give them up and
move to Brooklyn ?’
‘Yes, I gu« fe so,’ (with a smile.)*
By this time the hour had gro»vu
late, and we rose to leave.
‘Do yon think ycm could aid us in
finding a house in Brooklyn ?’ said
Miss Kate.
I replied that I might write to some
friend there.
‘What are the principal and most
fashionable streets there T inquired
Miss Lottie.
‘Bemsen and Montague,’ I said.
‘Could a house be procured in either
of those streets ?’
‘I presume so, but at a very high
rent.’
‘That makes no difference/ was the
response, and, with a parting grasp of
the hand, we retired from the‘house.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY EXPKESS.
J AS. WATT HARRIS an.l SAM E H. SMITH
EDITORS AND I’KOTRIETOKS.
CAKTERSVILLE, GA., MAY 19, 1871.
The taxpayers Convention of
South Caroliua, adjourned on the 13tli,
sine die , subject to the call of the Ex
ecutive Committee. It was believed
that the meeting had “done much to
remove misunderstanding, and inau
gurate a period of better feeling and
better conceit of public affairs.” Tren
holin, Porter and many other leading
men of the ►State, were present, who,
together with Governor Scott, are in
accord upon the objects of the Conven
tion, and the remedies appropriate to
the “present distress” of the State.—
The committee of eleven, who vv.ere ap
pointed to confer with the Governor,
made a report of the interview which
is as follows:
Your committee understand his Ex
cellency as having committed himself
to the following propositions;
1. That he signed uo other bonds
than those set forth in the debt state
ment made by the Comptroller Gener
al, and that there has been no fraudu
lent or illegal issues.
2. That the State and county offi
cers, both elective and appointed, have
been unnecessarily multiplied, and
should be reduced in number, and
many in pay.
3. That many officials, charged with
the administration of justice, have been
incompetent and inaccessable to the
people, and that the many disorders
complained of in the State have been
created by this cause and that he will
replace them with competent persons
whenever he can do so.
4. That he is in favor of the cumu
lative system of votiug and minority
representation, and he would be gl.d
to see it made a part of the law of this
State.
5. That the election laws are defec
tive and lead to fraud, and should be
materially amended, and that he will
exercise his influence to that end.
G. That he would have the collection
of the taxes next November postponed
until the first of March 1872, and not
enforce the penalty for non-payment
until that time. Eiually tue commit
tee recommended the following sug
gestions: The Legislature ensuring the
full payment of royalty on phosphates;
tho repeal of the acts granting exclu
sive franchises; a stop be put to the
drawing of money from the treasury
for alleged legislative expenses on the
order of the speaker of the House and
President of the Senate; that all ap
propriations and bills ought to specify
the items under each general head;
the reduction of the number of the State
and county officers; the enactment of
a law limiting each session of the Leg
islature to thirty days; repeal the law
giving a salary of $2,500 to the Adju
tant General; to give each public offi
cer but one salary, and to abolish the
commission to certify the laws.
The report was adopted.
The convention then resolved itself
into a committee of the whole, Gener
al Chestnut in the chair.
Resolutions of thanks to the presid
ing officer, and also to Governor See f t
and the State officials, were passed.
Hie commiLtee arose and President
Porter returned thanks, and said that
he need not be ashamed of the conven
tion. The results would speak and ap
peal to the country, and if the Execu
tive Committee continues to am in the
same spirit, and avoid .Federal and
State politics, and simply welcome to
our ranks men who propose to do good,
who advocate wholesome laws, just ad
ministratiou of the public funds, and
honest officials, it will accomplish the
great object of the people in peace.
Most fervently do we hope that, these
great objects may be speedily obtain
ed, and the wrongs and fears of the
good people of Caroliua settled at once
and forever.
The condition of this unhappy coun
try grows worse and worse. Conquer
ed by the Germans, they have turned j
their weapons against each other, with j
little or no prospect of quiet until, it
may be, P. ris herself, shall fall a heap
of rain in this fratricidal war. Each
daily telegram informs us of prepara
tions being ready for an assault upon
the walls by the Versaillists, in one
general attack, while the communists
threaten a destruction of the city be
fore they will yield it into the hands of
their enemies. All the horrors of civil j
war of the most furious form preset*.! j
themselves before the eye, nor is there
any hope that peace shall prevail uu- |
til the work of blood shall have ex-'
hausted iiself. A little more and the
country will hardly be worth the gov
erning by the party who may succeeo
in obtaining the political power.

Proportions for a t’liurcli.
Bishop Pierce, preaching in the
church at Talladega, Ala., was struck
witli its acoustic- properties. He be
gan tired, and ended rested. He has
obtained the measurement of this
house, and published it through the
South Carolina Advocate. It has been
suggested that the windows are too nu
merous and too wide. This increases
the cost; ami it has been noticed that
dilapidation of churches usually begius
at the windows. The “two windows
in the end” are not approved by- many
of our friends. But these points have
uo king to do with the problem of
acoustics. Tbe Bisliop says: “In one
of Jiiy letters to the Advocate I promis
ed to give the pro[>ortions of tiie church
.iu Talladega, as a guide to building
j committees in the erection of houses of
; worship. In this brief statement I re
deem my word.
“Length, 62 feet G inches, width, 42
bet G inches; height from floor to ceil
j ing, 17 feet 4 inches,
j “The rule of proportion is obvious;
and th.s I suppose to be the material
point. I add, however, that in the
cliurcli at Talladega, there are five win
dows on each side, 9 feet 8 inches high,
4 feet G inches wide; two windows in
the end; and two doors in front, 10 feet
high, 4 feet wide.
“There is some occult law of acous
tics which architects would do well to
study. If thL rule of proportion is the
| key which unlocks the secret, and
builders will respect it—my brethren
in the ministry will be immensely re
lieved from labor iu speaking, and per
haps will thank the writer for this
brief epistle.” —Nashville Advocate.
High Heels.
The editor of the Philadelphia Ago
has made a visitation to one of the
many hospitals of that city, and
among the many reflections caused by
witnessing human suffering, he furnish
es the following-on high heels, which
w’c recommend to the attention of pa
rents:
Men, women and children, lifeless
under the effects of chloroform, or
some other agent of a similar charac
ter; human bodits carried from place
to place upon stretchers; the noiseless,
but not bloodless, work of the opera
tors; the writhing of subjects when re
turning consciousness makes them
sensible of what has been done, are all
parts of a scene which, if one witness
ed, will never be forgotten. But all
this is necessary, as a means of reliev
ing sufferers from pain, and restoring
iLn m to the use of all their natural
mnetions. Science, skill and care have
reduced the sufferings of those com
pelled to undergo surgical operations,
to the lowest possible point. But
enough lxum.us to frighten people
fiom paths, :ke end of which is the op
erating table and the surgeon’s knife.
One of these paths, which just now is
tilled with victims, is the wearing oi
high-heeled bo.ls by ladies and chil
dren. Ike pray, icq is openly con
demned by leu rued surgeons, and Dr.
W. 11. Pancbast remarked the other
day, after performing a painful opera
tion on an intern sting little girl whose
feet had been ruined by wearing
wrongly constructed shoes, “This is
the beginning of a large harvest of
such cases.” Aud what else can be
expected ? Mothers walk the streets
Avith beds on their boots from two
and a half to three and a half inches
high, and not more than an inch in
diameter, aud their daughters follow
the same aud barbarous practice. In
many cases severe sprains in the ankles
:re suffered. But these are not the
worst fruits of tile high-heel torture.
The toes are forced against the fore
part of the boots, aud soon begin to
assume unnatural positions. In many
cases they are actually dislocated.—
In others the great toe passes under j
the foot, the tendons harden in that j
position, and lameness is contracted, i
for which there is no cure but the
knife. When the injury does uot take I
this form it*asaiim|» other aspects al
most as horrible and distressing.—
There are thousands of young girls
tip-toeing it along our streets to-day,
who in a few years will be cripples if
their parents do not interfere and re
move the cause. We will have a race
of women almost as helpless, so far as
walking is concerned, as those of Chi
na. We condemn the practice of con
fining the feet of Chinese children in
wooden shoes, and yet that practice is
uo more injurious to the feet than
forcing them into a sun 11 boo s with
an Alpine heel. This is a matter of
grave and serious import, aid hence
we press it upon tho mothers and
lathers of the land. If they would
not feed the surgical hospitals, and
have groups of maimed doughters in
their homes, they must commence a
crusade upon high heels. No father
should have high-heeled boots in his
house, any more tbau he would keep a ;
vicious dog in the parlor. When skill
ful surgeons, like Dr. Pencoast, from
the operating-room, raise their voices
against high-heeled boots, it is time for
ladies, old and joung, to pause and lis
ten. At this period, they can choose !
between high heels aud the operating j
knile. Iu a short time, it may be the j
latter, or permanent lameness.
