LANDS FOR THE LANDLEsS.
How to Promote Immigrntfon-Pract
cal Suggestions by nm Immigrant.
TO THE RDIToR OF THE NEWS.

Noticing two articles in your paper on the
subject OF immigration, and being myself an i'm
migrant, feel authorized in Offering still another
suggestion on that head, and with your kind per-
mission, will now propose plan by which to
turn the channel OF immigration to the soil OF
South Carolina. That plan Is plain and feasible,
requiring nj outlay OF capital, but In lieu. gene
raj donation OF some acres OF waste land, which
arordIng no Income to the owners, but tend to
increase not only their poverty individually, but
that OF the State at large.
1t would surprise any one who has not thought
on the subject to be informed TO what extent taxes
are paid on surplus lands. At the present mo-
nenr, none Will deny that 1t is less difficult to get
the subscription OF one thousand acres Of land
than twenty thousand dollars in cash. This land
offered to immigrants will undoubtedly attract to
the State, In any desired number, people willing
to work and contribute all In their power to the
prosperity OF the commonwealth. And again,
such inducements offered give to the proprletors
the advantage OF selecting immigrants from the
most industrious and honest OF the laboring class
throughout Europe.
The question arises can the Immigrant pay his
passage without asslstancc2 This Is easily solved !;
for with that one hundred thousand acres ofland,
1t will 70: be difficult, either In Europe or America
to negotiate loan OF fifty thousand dollars at six
or eight per cent. on five years time, provided
always good mortgage be given on the land,
thus securing to the capitalist the twenty five dol
lars, with interest paid each immigrant. Thirty
thousand dollars Of this sum will be suflclentt to
pay tile passage OF two thousand immigrants TO
any part OF the State. The remaining twenty
thousand will amply cover all agencies, bureau
expenses &c.
But 1t may seem to those who may do me the
the honor to read this article that difficulty will
arise as to who may be entitled to the Grst I'm
migrants. The first subscribers are entitled TO
the first choice.
Communications for or against my plan will be
heard with interest," either through the medium
OF THE CHARLESTON NEWS, or BY letter addressed

The argument in the injunction case of Cha
hoon VS.. Ellyson was concluded in the United
States Court to-day. Ex-Go'crn Wise made
the closing speech. He repudiated in strong
terms any affiiat:on with the ''Black Repub-
lican" party, and still claimed to be an unrc-
pentant rebel, and did not want his position
misunderstood, because he appeared as coun-
sci for Cilahoon. He claimed that the court
had no jurisdiction, because Chahoon, as a
provisional aopointee, is q United States OIL
Ger, and should not so out Of Office until the
regular election by the people. Ellyson's
counsel claimed that the admission OF the
State terminated powers OF al! provisional
officers. The decision of this case will affect
all of the Offices in the State, which are nearly
all filed by military appointecs. who remain
in until July G. The decision is given il favor
Of Chahoon.

cndctships Attacked by n .CoIored
Radical Orator-How the Gathering
Broke Up, &c.
tFnox OUR OWN CORRESPONDENCE

CHERAw, March 81
Last night there occurred in our town one
OF the most remarkable and significant political
meetings that has been held in our State for some
time. For some weeks, notice OF this meeting
had been most industriously circulated by the
Hon. Mr.. Donaldson, among the cOlored people,
and of course, had reached the ears Of the whites.
The great hypocrIte of the First Congressional
District B. F. Whittemore, was to address his dear
constituency at the Colored Methodist Church.
Thither the people went. The church was filled
with large crowd, Of which the colored people
formed about two.thIrds; the whites about the
other third. A colored man named Smith, OF
Darlington, opened the meeting with short
speech, the burden of which was to denounce
Shrewsbury, representative OF the county IN the
State Legislature.
On taking his seat, Shrewsbury rose and for
three hours held the audience spell-eouud by his
unsparing exposure OF the unparalleled rascality
and unmitgated hypocrisy OF B. F. Whlttemore
and r. J. Donaldson. There. these WORTHLESS sat
and listened, amidst the applause OF the whole
house. to one OF the most faithful portraitures oi
the manner in which his people had been imposed
upon under the gulse OF patriotism and religion.
lie proved to his people that their so-caed friends
were but ravenlng wolves in sleeps clothing,
and that to return Whittemore to Congress would
but disgrace themselves, and prove to the Ameri.
can people that the colored people were unworthy
the rights or privilege Of suffrage. He deied any
one to assert that he had, as member OF the
Legislature, ever received bribe.
During the delivery OF this remarkable speech,
lie gave the liberty TO any one to question any as
sertion or proof OF his stating he would exercise
the same liberty when Whittemore rose to speak.
Whittemore began 10 speak, stating at the out
set tint he was no criminal, nor had he done any
thing that was wrong, seeking to make the i'm
preston that he was an innocent persecutea
man. and that be had never deceived the people
Then rose Shrewsbury to ask where were thc
forty acres and the mule. Donaldson ordered
Shrewsbury to take his scat, saying that no ques
tIons wnnlh- ha allnHed. and that II he did not he
would order the negroes to take him out OF the
house. Shrewsbury told him to give the order.
1t was done; but the friends OF Shrewsbury were
too many and after half an hour OF yelling and
cursIng, Donaldson, fearing that his own head
might be broken, adjourned the meeting.
Thus the great carpc:-bagger has again been
rebuked, and by those who, but few years ago.
carried him in triumph on their shoulders.
If the colorcd people will nominate Shrewsbu
ry, the whites, without respect to party, will
unite with them In sending him to Congress.

from the excitement caused by the disastrous
connagratl0u OF the 2Sth ultlmo were aroused by
the alarm OF fire, only TO witness the destruction
OF the large and handsome storehouse with It's
valuable contents, OF Messr3 Moody Smith.
This was one OF tile largest business buildings In
our town, and we'll stocked with merchandise
The warehouse, which was In the rear OF the
store, anu In close proximity, was saved by ex-
traortiuary cXertions Of our citizens anG stands
as monument to-day Of what can be accomplish
Ell by determined men. Just here, we may state
that the residence OF Major s. A. Durham was also
saved b. the prompt and energetic action OF our
citizens. Had the premises OF liajor Durham
taken fire, there Is no telling when and where the
devourng flames would have been satisfied. The
law Office OF A. Q. McDule, Esq., was also burned.
His library, papers and office furniture were
saved The loss OF Messrs. Moody L Smith Is es-
tinlated at S1l $780, covered by Insurance Oh their
stock in the Underwriters Company for $4,000,

estate Of Mcintyre, we are informed was not In
surcd-loss estimated at $3.50. Taking Into con-
loss by this Ere is estimated ut sl2 600. As to the
origin OF the fire, public opinion has come to no
conclusion. Mr.. Joseph Montgomery, the clerk,
WAS sleeping IN the store, and retired about nall
past O'Clock. He was awakened by the alarm,
nn. escaped through the dense smoke with

our merchants stated that he ''smeit fire." and
examined this and other bindings by looking un.
der ard arounh them sometime, before he was
able 10 locate 1t. If this be 20, the fire must have
originated In the building, or been cautiously set
on 1rc by some accomplished inccndlary, be.
tween the weather boarding and ceiling. The
flame was first discovered on the north slde ol
the house, breaking through the weathcr-board-
ing about four feet above the sill. The books,
