Plighted Faith.

The Indianapolis Journal, in speak
ing of the Government bonds, says:
"These bonds were by law ex-
empted from taxation, and this fact
gave them credit and currency. This
was an inducement to take them, and
the faith of the nation is plighted TO
the matter.
Occasionally we hear men talk of
taxing them--men who ought to know
better than talk so--for 10 do SO is
species of reputation. If these
bonds may be taxed, then the whole
face may be repudiated The Same
power that takes part may take all"
They were not exempted from Uni
ted States taxation. and that may be
made SO severe that it will place them
on an equality with other property in
the States The incomes from them
were not exempted from State and To-
cal taxation. There are various ways
in which they can be reached without
impairing in the least plighted faith.
All that is asked is, that these holders
shall not be a privileged and aristo-
cratic class among us, sharing in tho
blessing of our Government without
paying anything for it,,
The Journal has been great adyo-
cate for the doctrine of public neces-
sity, which, in It's opinion, sets all law
aside. If it was once a necessity to
exempt these bonds from taxation,
they have now reached an amount
that renders it necessary" that.they
should be taxed like other property.
If necessity can set the Constitutions
aside, may it not, Mr.. Journal set
law of Congress aside ?
The doctrine of plighted faith docs
not come, Mr.. JomadL with good
grace from your party, which passed
in 1861, legal tender law, allowing
people to pay their debts for sum, in
many cases not half so great as they
agreed to pay by contract! Here was
a Wholesale reputation Of debts au-
thorized by Government, and that re-
pudiation the Journal sustained
There is no difference in morality in
the Government authorizing others to
break their faith, or in doing it on its
own account The bonds indeed are
the offspring of the legal tender repu-
diation policy : Cme,anata Enquirer,

The following speech was delivered
at Grecnville, S. c., by Governor Per-
ry, on August lst, on his return from
Washington:
Fellow CITIZENS: have met you
this morning, not to make speech,
but TO talk over the incidents of my
late visit to Washington. / started
there three weeks since, as your dele
gate to ask for the appointment of a
Provisional Governor, aud the restora-
ton of civil authority in South Carroll
ma. On my way met messenger
from his Excellency, President john
son, bearing a message appointing me
Provisional Governor Of the State.
This was an honor l had not antici-
pated and never aslired to.
On my arrival in Washington, / ad-
dressed a note to tho President, ask
ing the honor of an audience, for tho
purpose of receiving his instructions,
and communicating to him my views
in reference to the political tone and
temper Of the State.
We were received very cordially,
and remained an hour or two with the
President. / told him that tho people
of South Carolina accepted the terms
of his proclamation, and were disposed
to return to their allegiance to the
Union. That from being oneof the
most rebellious States in the South, i
was satisfied South Carolina would
benceforth be one of the most loyal of
the Southern States. That she would
reform her constitution and abolish
slavery, give the election of Governor
and Presidential Electors to the peo-
pie, and equal ze the representation OF
the State gave it as my opinion
that the disunion feeling of the South
had originated in the parishes. .
The President expressed himself
gratified at the course South Carolina
was likely to pursue, and instead OF
manifesting any bitter or revengeful
spirit, he evinced great kindness, solic-
, itude and magnanimity. The whole
delegation was deeply impressed with
the courtesy, uibhitJ oiu "'Hi'J va MS
Excellency. His political views ex.
pressed to us were those of patriot
, and statesman. He wished to see tho
, country once more quiet peaceable
prosperous and happy. In regard tc
the relative powers of the State and thu
Federal Governm, nt, his opinions were
: identical with my own, so long express
cd in Sonth Carolina. .e,r
; He was equally opposed to the cen
} tralization and consolidation of pow
, ers in congress as he was to the seces
. sion of the States. 1t must be left T.
5 the Legislature of each State to dc
0 eide who shall be allowed to vote II
: the State. Any attempt on the par
: of Congress TO control the electiv
n franchise Of State would be unwar
8 rantablo usurpation. He expresse
o an ardent wish to see the constitution
$ Of South Carolina popularized b
