MR.. MERRICK ANSWERED.

Final Letter from General ChipHian 20 MIR
Merrick.
Mr.. Merrick having seen fit to publish prema
turely the correspondence between General
Chapman and himself relative to joint discus.
sion, General Chapman has addressed him the
following letter:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aprir., 1871.
Hon. X. T. Merrack:
DEAR SIR | have yours of yerterdsy, which
had not time till now to answer. supposed
you would not hasten to give publicity to the
correspondence, as you have done, until at least
an opportunity was given me TO rejoin. Let
me assure you that i do not find so much So
iicitude or embarrassment in the public mind
with reference to the position of the Repu bcan
party upon mixed schools as you fear there is.
We do not recognize the question as an issue be-
fore US simply because your party has attempted
to make it 40. You may express whatever opin-
ion you choose upon the subject, but we are
not bound to join issue with You. i leave
the whole subject to the people, and am vii.
ling to trust them. You seem not willing to do
either.
You infer that because / do not express nv
individual opinion that therefore | am in favor
Of mixed schools. This is about the same
character of reasoning which, | am informed.
you used in public speech upon the capital re.
moving scheme, viz that because have Il
friend 10 Congress favorable 10 the removal of
the capital, therefore 1 am favorable and this
in the face of the fact that / have consistently
opposed all such mischievous schemes, and still
oppose them.
Now, sir, the people of this District are not
TO be deceived and diverted from the main point
in the canvass by side issues. i doubt whether
even you, with your peculiar genius for making
the worse seem the better reason, can convince
this people that | am in favor Of this or that
thing because have chosen not to follow you
with dsnials.
You see but one vital point in this canvass,
and that 10 the question of mixed sc hools, which
we regard as not in the canvass, and therefore
make no issue with you upon it. But allow me
to say that see at least two questions quite as
important as the one which seems to cause you
90 much solicitude.
First. How are the material interests of the
District TO be secured
Second. Shall the Union sentiment Of this
country have voice in Congress from the Ma
tional Capital?
The concluding paragraph in your letter of
yesterday requires to add word. In
promising 10 meet you for the purpose of Joint
debate, L was prompted by considerations of
question my candor IN the matter am COM
PEELED to withdraw the promise and to decline
meeting you at all
expect TO meet most OF the voters before the
election and hope you may. Let them render
the verdict. Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, n. p. CHIPnAN.

Mr.. EDITOR: Permit me to say few words
in your columns in regard to the Democratic
mass meeting held in this place on the evening
of the 5th instant.
This ." white mans meeting" as the leaders
OF the Democracy here had loudly asserted it
was to be, opened by an address from Judge
Merrick, member Of Congress from Mary.

land to the Federal Government, be proceeded
to say that it was not intended by our fathers,
who founded ourinstitu.ions, that the residents
of this District should have any political
opinions. THE, the National Capital, he
said, was to be neutral ground, and the inhab-
itants were to be the particular aud peculiar
wards of the nation. 1t was to be the asylum
where the close-pressed Of all other sections of
the country could fee and find res, from party
strife and passion.
Then came a woeful prophecy of bad re.
BY the dominant party on the plan of our an.
eestors, extending the right of franchise to the
people Of the Territory. Query Was not that

The remande- of his argument was addressed

1t was they that did it, Such thing, he said,
was an innovation on the laws of nature. God
had made them to live apart. aud because this
was 90, he had created one black and the other
white.
To use the words Of the learned Judge, he
proceeded to draw analogies from nature 20

mention the causes which brought the two
races together, but said The oak and the

all youths, were brought to Raleigh, in charge
of guard of soldiers, accompanied By dep
uty United States marshal. The offence
charged was that,a party of men. OF whom the
prisoners were three, had made descent
upon cabin where three white women, three
negroes and their common offspring were liV-
ing together, and had tied up two OF the
women and the three men and whipped them.
The real character of the alleged act is sui.
fciently plain. The locality is one Of those
North Carolina 'piney woods" regions where
civilization is at the lowest ebb in America
the offence of these women and men herdlng
together, was felt even: there to be social out
rage; there was no form of law which could
practically be made to reach them, and nence
a vigilance committee, it is charged, made a
descent on the nest to break it up, as would
have been done in any Western locality from
Indiana to Montana. That the alleged outrage
had any political character whatever is sufti-
ciently negatived by the fact that the section is
a Radical one, and oneGf the accused par
ticipators is Radical Of the straightest sort.
The commissioner held the accused over for
trial before the Circuit Court Clarke and
Mitchell in the sum of $4,000 each, and Caban-
Miss in the sum OF $4,000.

Tie Debt of South Carolina

Until last week the debt of South Car
olina as far as the general public was con-
cerned, was in q complete fog The ofhclal
exhibits which had been put forth from time
to time were variously construed, and the
conflicting estimates OF the aggregate OF the
debt rarged all the way from seven to seven

gave the subject calm and thorough inVes-
tjeatic,; and, as they we're aided in their
labors by the officials who control the imam
cial machinery Of the State, it is scarcely
| probable that their conclusions will be dis
puted in any quarter. According to their
showing, the direct obligations OF the State,
outstanding at this time, (Which, by an
error, were understatedin in yesterdays News }
amount to s9,965,765 %.
Besides this, the State has contingent
liabilities, arising from the endorsement OF
Railroad bonds, amounting to ss,7S7, COB 20.
These endorsements are as follows:
south Carolina Railroad Bonds,
payabl. in 1868, secured by first
Northeastern ,rI Railroad Bonds, pay
fipst apst mortgage murr q ~ ............ $1,000 90
Charleston and Savannah Railroad

Thus, the total liabilities OF the State,
direct ard contingent, foot up grand total
of SIS, 753, 373 49, OF course it is not to be
supposed that the State will ever be called
upon to pay the bulk OF the bonds to which
its endorsement has been given; yet it is
but just that the public creditor should have
plain and undisputcd statement OF our
financial condition. The attainment OF
such statement would, OF itself, have JUS
tilted the meeting of the Convention. In
any view, it must be said, now that we
know precisely how We stand, that the debt
OF South Carolina is not greater than her
resources capably aud honestly managed,
are quite able to sustain.
