THE SoUrH CAROLYN \ ADELEGATI3N-
FEELING OF. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
"A delegation OF South Carolilans,
composed Of Hon. Is. f. Perry, recently
appointed a provisional governor Hon.
Jams H. Orr, G. j. Elford, j. w. era.
dy, w. T.. Leith and Foster Blodgett,
arrived at Wizards Yesterday. These
gentlemen, including Governor Perry,
were appointed by the people of Wrs.
tern and Northwestern South Carolina
to come to Washington and urge the ar.
pontment of provisional governor for
the State. On their way hither they
received information Of the appointment
OF one OF their number to that Office.
but concluded to continue their journey
for the purpose of consultation with the
President as to the measures to be
adopted in the reconstruction of civil gov.
ernment at home. Tho mail facilities
and even the usual modss.afs, lntercom.
munication in Sonth Caina.bad been
completely destroyed, aS asasal DAYS
had elapsed aftafs slclega.
ton had startd9 u ssI X before
that fact was &hoW1f Iii fl,e estern
and Northwestern cpslt ,Inprsing
the most populous o.. .%. y as ~ tiie State,
and this delegation was APPOINTED for
these counties in order that they might
bc properly represented here. They
are, however much gratifed at the Sc
lection of Governor Perry, who resides
i'll this part Of the State and has always
been a consistent opponent of secession.
having fought against it in the secession
convention of 1881 and 1892, and also
in the one held in 1882, and repeatedly
opposed itin'public speeches since. This
delegation represent the people Of South
Carolina to be unanimous in their ac.
quiescence in the present order of affairs,
and not only satisfied with their
costly experiment Of setting up gov
eminent for themselves outside OF
the Union, and convinced of their ina
bility TO breakup the Union but arc
willing and anxious to accept the re.
suit as an unavoidable conclusion, and
determined to, do all in their power to
become useful member Of the old
Unithd States. It is their determination
to lose no time in repairing the damages
that have accrued, and they expect to be
the first of the rebel States to present
their new constitution at Washington.
One good result Of the necessity for a
provisional government is that it will
afford an opportunity long desired in
vain by "a large majority of the people
ofthe State to amend their constitution
and establish q far and equal and liberal
basis Of Representation in their State
government Politically, the people of
South Carolina win be Blessed by, the
reconstruction, ridding them Of anf in
suferable tyranny by.which they have
until now been hopelessly oppressed.
