Proceedings ol the Legi»!alnre.
Condensed from the jfldegtaph and J/esseuyer.
Senate, November "29. —President
Trammell called the Senate to order
at the usual hour.
The special order of the day was
taken up. It is :
A bill to incorporate tho State Agri
cultural Laud Grant Board, and for
other purposes. This bill provides for
tho establishment of two agricultural
colleges, one at Dahlonegu, tho other
Milledgeville, in pursuance of the act
; of Congress donating 270,000 acres as
a foundation for tho schools, and con
stitutes the respective presidents of tho
colleges, with tho Executive Commit
tee, of the State Agricultural Society,
a board for the selection, care and dis
posal of the lands so granted.
Mr. Bruton ottered as a substitute,
a biil which makes the Georgia State
Board of Education, as now constitutes
the Board for the care and selection of
these lands, and that this board shall
report to the General Assembly, with
which the final disposition of the lands
shall remain.
Mr. Clark said the benefit of the
bill ought to be enjoyed in common
by both races and contended that Con
gress designed the donation for the
benefit of all citizens indiscriminately.
Campbell offered an amendment:
Always provided the benefits ot the
fund shall be divided equally between
all students, without regard to race,
color or previous condition.
Mr. Brown ottered an amendment

ernor, President of the Senate, Speak
er of the House, Presidents ot the Ag
ricultural Colleges, and lion. E. btead
man, as a board for the purposes in
dicated by the bill.

to your Excellency. , %t> a South

same time I shall discharge mv self
-1 imposed duty with that oundpr and.
si«rit befitting tho occasion%and the
great interest involved,
Got me, in tho first’plfto remark that
there is another reason - why it is not
unbecoming in me to
Excellency. Youg Attorney-General
recently on-duty at Yorkvillo, in
niis Staffs there, 1 am in
formed that it is not ulively that onft
jwllckes, a white man,
mmtind, a *negro man, di4. report a diS;
tiivguisked Carolinian, slid tho
as tho Jiead-centres of the -klux or
'giiiiiz tWn of bouth Can.dina. Allayv
me, % belbre proeeediug fartlK-r, ts
brand this statement as unqualitinlly
and defy thflLnmffl-
uiulSSp;.* unscrupulous to
nnknuußt my private or public'_<*!*■
any act at va.ianee with
law. Apart from its philosophy aiuf
l ‘iT(je interpretation, 1 know as lituemf
this alleged Ku-kluxism ii> pk Si
boutli Carolina as does yJIUt
leney. But .of that
true iutcipretution, 1 have very dis
tinct views, which I shall taue occasion
, to submit to your Excellency in the
course of the letter,
mth these preliminary observations
I shall now undertake to, lay before
your Excellency and tho country the
case of injured and misreprssented
bouth Caiolinia. You have put the
case in court. You are the high pros
ecutor. I make myself the advocate
of the State—obscure in name, but
strong in the integrity of mj^^use —
thiire-afined, because
just. Allow me, now, to c wKP’
will not object. If a sad
tho Soutii, it was a proud day for you.
Ou that day bouth Caroline!, in com
mon with the Southern Confederacy,
yielded to Heaven’s degree and your
strong battalions ; gave up the cause
for which she had gallantly fought,
and surrendered all tins hopes un i
dreams of boutlrern nationality. The
btate formally repealed the ordinance
of secession, abolished the institution
of African slavery within her borders,
and resumed in general her obligations
to tho Federal L uiou.
The future become promising. The
late Confederates, and our people gen
erally, wanted a country to love, and
of which to be proud. They were dis
posed to give to the United btatos flag
much of the devotion that had been
lavished on tho “ Conquered Banner. ”
But the course of good feelings was
not suffered to run smooth, and to con
duct us to a united people and restored
Union. The led spirit jot partyismdevel
oped itslef. The monster, since known
as Radicalism, reared its angry ereast.
The scheme of Radical reconstruction
was put in operation. Its author, liiad
deus Stevens, boldly proclaimed that
his fol owers had camped outside of
the Constitution. Thence begin the
troubles which have culminated in the
situation—military, financial an.l gen,
eral—whidti this unhappy Btato now
presents. Before the present Govern
ment was imposed, through Federal
influence, upon bouth Caro, ini a, the
white people ol bouth Carolina, made
to Cougreas their remonstrance and
submitted tlieir appeal. These are
upon record. The writer oi this letter
was chairman of the committee who
bore that remonstrance and appeal and
iai i it before the Reconstruction Com
mittee of Congress.
Ho had the honor and tho privel-
ega of addressing that committee in
tlie basement of the capitol. He
spoke to the head and front of recon
struction—Thadeus Stephens himself
au d protested against the monstrous
wrong that was about to bo (luno to
the ostracised people of South Carolina.
He ventured to say that the regrne
foisted upon this State was illogical;
that it contained the seeds of ruin and
decuv, and that it contravened tue
laws of God, and that, thueoie, it
would not and could not endure, W :li
not your Excellency admit that the
writer's anticipations havo been swiit
ly realized ? Look this day at our
Executive, our legislative history, our
ruined tinauces, our disordered State
stricken in its liberties and industries !
Let your Excellency contemplate tiie
spectacle wb you yourself present
—to-day seeking to hold up with your
bayonets the rotten, tailing pyramid
of” reconstructed South Carolina .
tae pyramids which pygamy states
men have sought to make rest upon
its sharp) ape-x iustea l of its bioud
base.
But the_ scheme of Radical recon
struction was placed in operation.—
The demands of tho party required
the experiment to be made . Need
we point your Excellency to tho histo
ry of South Carolina lor the last lew
years ? It is the history of a plun
dered and outraged people. The his
tory of misrule, profligacy, fraud and
corruption. No sooner Kid the doors
of the State been opened; F -lor to tho
| beginning of the reconstruction era,

a mass of corruption, with scarcely a
liejdthy spot upon his bhuAenud sur

ling %‘Cflmes weak, nerveless and

tin - o circumstances, need your Excel
lency wonder that outlaws in til* high
official of tho State have engen
dered the spirit ol’ outlawry in tho
people? Under circumstances,
Zieed your E.xcellencpwonder that in
portions of this Sjtute acts of violence
should have Leen committed ? Is it
reasonable that, provoked beyond en
durance, local duleusive and protect- ,
ivo bands may Vivo been organized ?
Whatever your Excell mey may think,
we know what the judgement of the
country will he when the facts of the
case shall be broug/it out. That
judgement will be that i! men in the
up-cq.untry have sinned, they have al
so been sinned against; and we shall
not be surprised if the country dees
not wonder at tho moderation uud en
durance of our people.
Let your Excellency now understand
me fully on this subject. I oppose,
a id have ever opposed, secret associa
tions, organized lor political or discip
linary purposes. 1 believe that tho
evil therewith associated counterbalan
ces ti e good. There are, in addi.ion,
ethieai considerations which con: >1
my judgeiuqiit and determine my opin
ion upon the question. Whilst, there
fore, J cannot defend what there is or
may have been of Ku-kluxism in
3<u. .. Carolina, 1 intend noveltholess,
to give my impression as to its true
philosophy and its correct interpreta
tion. However Diverted by bad and
i responsible men from its original
purposes ; however used m so
sos to gratify personal malice and car
ry private ends ; whatever there is, or
has been, of Ku kluxism in portions
of South Carolina, grew out of weak
ness and corruption of oh r State regime
and had for its object tho protection
of person and property, even to tho
summary mfletion ol death upon ev 1
doers. This was a bad resolve. This
was a desperate remedy. Bat let us
not forget that the disease was also
desperate, and tho provocation great.
I cannot defend tin? acts of vengeance
committed, either by white man or ne
gro men. i leave the actors in these
transactions to tho judgement ot Heav
en and the judgement of the country.
Before these tribunals each man who
lias assumed the responsibility of exe
cutioner, must answer for himself.—
The onus of the act rests upon tho
actor. But these considerations shall
not prevont me from raising my voice
aga n.;t tho eifor s to misrepresent our
people, and to make political capital
out of those acts of violence which
have been the result of a corrupt and
feeble administration of the law s, Is
it to be wondered that where there is
no law, that tho people should make a
law unto themselves i Is it to be won
dered that the Loyal Union Longues
should have led to tho formation al
opposing defensive and protective so
, .cieties 7
I have thus, Mr. President, brought
the history of events in South Carolina
to coinparitively recent period. \\ hat*
ever tiiero was oi Ku-Kluxis n or lynch
law organizations in South Carolina,
produced a profound impression upon
tiie thieving officials, State and coun
ty, in this State; upon the malicious
negroes, and upon evil doers in gener
al. A sword of Damocles was suspen
ded above toe heads of these people,
and the State grew quirt Good men
lelt no fear.—Bad men trembled. They
kuew not how soon the avenger would
couie. But this state of tilings, of
Course was not agreeable to tho carpet
baggers, the renegade aud the tena
cious negro. This sword of Damocles
must bo removed. Governor Scott
could not remove it. He saw and
trembled. Then was formed the great
conspiracy in wi.ch yon, Mr. Presi
dent, have been drawn as an instru
ment to carry out the programme of
unscrupulous and alarmed men
The plot opens with a gross exagger
ation of the acts of outrages in this
State. It is followed up with rnisrep
seutations of the spirit and purposes
alleged t) bo therewith conn ac
ted. Tho plot thickens. —The great
bond swindle is about to bo expos ,1.
Governor Scott enters the conspiracy.
You are waited upon, and you are
ur m i to suspend the writ of habeas <xr
pus in Soutu Carolina. You havo
lalsely told that the civil power, Stato
and Federal, is not equal to the emer
gency. The conspirators, woll rt pro
sent 11 the persons of Messrs \\ er
thmgWn, A. S. \Y allace, aud Eiliot
(negro), prevailed, aul your war upon
Soutn Carolina begins. Yes, although
it is nearly seven years since Appom
attox, you resume war upon fc.
Carolina. You publish your and
1 atioa ; you seirlyour troops; you in-iko
w ar against communities, and
boueitth arnplo folds of your flag,
you thieves; robbers and in
cendiaries to .find safety and shelter.
Ts it Mr. I’rolydiniL-Goneral, that the
laurels you%won in wav, fighting for
what you no doutJ deemed thy right
n it that those laurois must at Oow
pens and ffear Kniigt Mountains with
It and did ? <,
And now, Mr. I'rosi lent, lot trie pro
test, not only again.-1 the loss and dam
age inflicted eauslessly upon ourm
dustrial interests, but also, let mtl pro
test as I solemnly do, against thd vio
lation of the great writ ot personal lib
erty, inched in your proceedings
in this State under the lvu
klux net of Congress. Has i st
over occurred to your Excellency that
vou are but var ying out the decrees of
an uiioonstitwtienai act cl fMr'gueJ
Congress? It is a well known and ac-s
copied legal maxim, that a delegated
power cannot be delegated. Tile Con
stitution of tho United Statos, which
you mo sworn to observe, protect and
defend, says tlut Congress may sus
pend tho privilege ol the writ ot htb
<ie corpus when rebellion or invasion do
imperil tho public suloty. Now', ul>
though this power is delegate 1 to Con
gress only by the Constitution of the
Republic, yet the act of Congress, ap
prove 1 April 20, 1871, seeks to dele
gate tiiis power to tho President, and
allows him to exercise his discictioo in
deciding when the “rebellion or inva
sion ’ referred to in tho Constitution,
shall be considered as existing. This,
Mr. President, invested you w.th im
perial power, and you might well have
turned away from the sceptre which
the Mark Antonys of Congress tender
ed to jou. But your Excellency—your
Majesty, I might add—seized tho ten
deiwd power. You did-moro. In your
proclamation of October li last, you
proceed to carry oil this delegation of
a delegated power. You delegate
your power to the United btates Mar
shal, and he is authorized to delegate
to his deputy, and he to a soldier, and
ho to a citizen, and thus it comes to
this, in tho last analysis of tho matter,
that tho suspension ol tho writ ol ha
beas corpus rests, liually, in tho hands
of any United States Soldier or negro
in tile once sovereign IS'.ate ol booth
Carolina.
Against this as a Carolinian, as a cit
izen of tho United btates, of an hered
itary freeman, I raise my protest,
however ineffectual as it may be.
Further, 1 laise my protest, and tho
protest .pi all iu sympathy with me,
aguiust all your military proceedings
in this State. These proceedings, in
stignated by personal malice and for
partisan purposes, have inflicted a
, avy blow* on the jj.d istries, as w l' a
the liberties of our people. They are
uncalled lor. 1 affirm that tho civil
arm was strong enough to execute tho
law' in bouth Carolina, and that a
grievous wrong has been done to this
brute by tho very hand that should
have been raised, ill sympathy and de
fen so.
And now, Air. President, let mo say
to you, that if your purpose lie to b oak
tho spirit oi our piuopile, and make tl o n
bond to the yoke that has been Idd
upon them, even your giant strength,
as tho head ol’ a powertul Government
will not Le equal to tho task. O.ir
people will emerge from tho wav -s
tiiat now threaten to bury their all
Gut of chaos will come order—out ol
decay will come life. With our clim
ate, our soil, our resources, our nu n,
our women, with all the bounties ol a
good God spread before us, wo shall
not despair. Nor shall wo abandon
our mother State in the hour ol her
greatest need. Claiming only wlmt l,
just and fair, standing by only what is
light, wo shall hold on to tho broken
ulters ot tiio btato and pour upon
them in lavish streams the rich liba
tiont ot a more than Bo nan devotion.
If you dan rise to to the heights ot
your duty, it is plain what your Excel
lency is called upon to do. Withdraw
your soldiers. Recall your military
edicts. Remit us to peaceful pursun 1
Think of Burke when herelente l, and
pardoned something to tho spirit ot
liberty. Think of Camillas, when, by
a magnanimous policy, he made the
Ceil juoredpeopledLatinumthefilords
of Rome and thus added to lnr lower
an 1 dignity.
Your Excellency appears bent upon
the policy of making war upon the
Southern States. Pardon - me for the
suggestion that you,cannot, if you re
gard your fame, retire too soon from
this campaign against your country -
m - n. The only ei oay before ;o 1 are
the nion, w'Oineii and children ot plun

Tho great heart of the peerless Lee
is still in death, and the war-worn
veterans of the armies ot the Confed
eracy are making their bread by the
sweat of their brows. You onu, Air.
President, win no honors in your
present aggression* ; and even if hon
ors were possible, it might be well for
you to bear in mind tiie suggestion ol

Lillie TBilhbs of Life.
The little things of life are not to
he despised. They are tho threads
that make its wool and warp, and the
IPo is dark or bright accordingly as
these little threads are black or gol
den. It is grains of sand tlurt make
tho ocean beach, and globules of .wa
ter that make up the ocean itself, and.
singularly enough, tlieso grains ol
sand, and these globules of water are,
each, tcp>.rate, detached a’ml distiuftt.
Each forms part ol the mass, l ut cacti
is by itself. Every life is a muss oi a
myriad of atoms; each day of the
years that make it up is a teeming
History of acts, words, a 1 ventures, in
cidents, relations, tl oughts, hopes,
grids, tears, and emotions, each
standing by itself hut all connected
together.
We may not neglect these individ
ual trifles, and ax peet tiro mass they
compose to bo salitttu toiy E'en a
word or a tone of voice may make a
day blight or daik; tho shadow on
the fa<e of a friend (timidly met, will
reflect a shadow < n oar own heart,
and give us a li cling of depression

A letter e ntai iug a few biicf l’n’es

imagine it is forgotten— so trifling and
foolish it is ; hut it is not torgdten ; it
floats like a radiance around us v\ hwe
aver we go ; it makes us strong, buoy
ant, and hopeful.
Our moods have much to do with
our happiness ; they come over n» like
a bath of sunlight, or creep upon ns
like a dismal shadow—we cannot tell
how; bui, there is always a speeitiiq
cause lor them. It may be so minute
as to escape attention in the mass of
events and incidents that make up tiio
day's histuly; but if we search pa
tiently, wo will generally discover that
the joy that has attended w; all day
long had its source in some book of
love, word of sympathy, or some grat
ifying success in tho execution of a
trilling task; and that tho •‘blues”

Gki ixo Ream- To Go.— A dear lit
tle girl had seen her beloved father
laying cold and still on his coffin pil
l i\v, and had wi Idled with wonder
and liar the process of putting on tho
coffin lid and beuiing it away to bu
lrial.
Afterward gri. f strii ken mother
sought to rl'spel tho gloom which
gathered about the scene in her young
’heart.
‘"Jo 1 has sent fdr dear father, to
come up and live with Him, and ono
I day lie will also send for you and me,
darling.’
‘Dowo know when Ho will send,
mamma ?’
‘No, my dear, only Goo knows the
time. He has it all fixed’.’
‘Then, mamma, il'Gotrfs surely go
ing to send for us. and we don,t know
when, wo better begin to pack up and
get ready to go?’
.This little girl had surely tho right
view of the matter, and it is ju-t as
important for us as fur her. Not only
should we be always ready, but we
should.have our possession packed up'
and seat on before us. Did you ever
stop to think that you were laying up
