moved as a substitute for the FIRST section of the
bill, which defines the boundaries OF the county,
that the whole matter be referred to the Judiciary
Committee, who shall bring In n bill authorizing
the Governor to appoint three discreet persons.
whose duty it shall be to subdivlde the counties
of Beaufort, Colleton Edscneld Barnwcll, Orange
burg, Lexington and AbbeVille, in such way as
to make three or more new counties, as they may
deem proper, and to place the seats of justice
within reach OF all.
wE1GHTs VIEWS
Wright said lie would second the motion only
to make Speech and stated that he desired 1t to
be understood that this move to make new
county was not party measure, but one to bene.
fit both coored and whites alike The persons In
tcrcsted In this measure have removed the only
objection urged againstit by pledgIng themselves
TO nav the expenses necessary to erect buildings
for county purposes. AS 1t is now, many OF those
who have business at court cannot attend be-
cause of the distance anu expense. These per-
sons living in the upper portion OF Beaufort Coun
ty have to travel about seventy.nve miles and
cross several ferries. To refuse to pass this bill,
and not to allow them to have seat OF justice in
their vicinity, Is vytual denial OF justice TO the
people living in the section relcrredto. The senator
from Barnwell wants to know who will represent
this county, lido not know, but doubt not he will
be MS good man rs there is here even as good as
the senator from Barnwcll. Leslie: That Is i'm.
possible Wright: Well, yes, believe 1t is impos-
sblc to get just such another man. The senator
from Barnwell says he don't want any more
Democrats here say If we can get as good
Democrats as these here now, we'll get as good
men as We need to represent that county; Mt
least. III be satisfied. The people of my section
are reconstructed, anu the man they elect will
sustain the goyernment-old things with them
seem TO lave passed away. Leslie: want to
know IL you IVY don't believe that If the Demo-
Gratis we're in authority here they would impcach
the Radical senators. Wright: That would de-
pend on what kind OF Democrats they were. II
they were pure Democrats, they would not. They
would give all OF us our rights II l, black as ON,
were sent here by the people, believe they would
allow me the same rights as they themselves en-
loved or claimed. Some more sparring OF this
Kind occurred, Leslie all the While attempting to
make Wright assert that lie believed Democrats
were blacker than even the Devil Is painted,
which Wright would not do, but still asserted
substantially what he before said OF them, found
Ing his belief on what he had seen Of those In his
own county. After this by-play, Wright argued
In opposItion to Lese's substitute, asserting that
1t seemed very much like an insult to the people
to refer 10 commissioners matter in which the
pcople themselves were vitality interested and
knew their grievances, and had presented them
to those whom they had elected to represent
them, 10 take cognizencc OF their grievances and
to legislate 60 as to abate them. After conclud'
ing this line of argument he SAT down, stating rs
he did so taat nc withdrew his second to LcSlie's
motion. After some further remarks from one or
two of The senators, the subjcct-mat.er Was made
the special order for Thursday next.
