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 to the substitute, appointing the Gov 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. Mr. Hinton spoke in favor of tho substitute of Mr. Bruton on the ground that tlio fund should be ttrst received and made subject to. the control of the State before it is disposed of. The substitute of Mr. Bruton was lost. Ayes 18, nays 19. Mr. Liown offered an amendment adding the President and Trustees of the Male Academy at Marietta to tiie board provided for by the bill. Rost.

Wt the 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.

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.

The LUnd CummiMimn pej'petrates its swin dles. T hl*fiilio!e State regime Lecomes a mass of corruption, with scarcely a liejdthy spot upon his bhuAenud sur face' Tho strong arm of South Caro ling %‘Cflmes weak, nerveless and pulse lest Noiu corruption. Under 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 <lord, - struggling ciHnmunit.es. 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.
