10 the public was Issued, signed by some,
seventy prominent men, among whom is e1s
Secretary Cox. It gloriass the war record of
the Republican party. but declares that It's
future usefulness andGucesss will depend on its
meeting the questions of the present, and puts
forth as the platform of the sgners four princi-
pies for its guidance. First, the removal Of alt
political disabilities and the burial of the enmi-
ties and resentments of the war. Second, the
collection of duties for revenue only, the present
system of protective duties being condemned
as unjust and wrong in principle, and deieat-
ing Its own ends In practice. They protest
against being taxed for the benefit of private
individuals and corporations, and making tne
shroud of the old Whig party the mantle, OF
Rennblicanlsm. They demand that tariff duties
be 80 adjusted as to derive the requisite revenue
from the smallest possible number Of taxable
articles. Third, opposition to the employment
of government patronage for party purposes.
They favor an immediate and thorough reform
of the civil service of the Federal Government,
and insist that the appointments of subordi-
nate officers should be made on the ground OF
fitness only, with promotions for merit, and
the tenure of the Office depending on the
honesty and efficiency of the officer, without
regard to the fluctuations of political opinions
and the changes of party relations. They be-
lleve that party nominations should be made
only when party interests are at stake, and
not in merely local elections. Fourth, a grad
ual but certain return to gold and silver as the
only true basis of currencies.

The CONGREGATIONAL Convention.

The Radical organ published in this city
speaks as follows Of the Constitutional Con-
vention proposed by MIR. Memminger, In his
letter to Governor Scott .,a
uWlthout seeking to 60 to the bottom OF the
mighty questions which Mr.. Memninger'a plan
suggests, we would say that we are heartily In
favor of convention. While we think 1t alto
eether unlikely that,the poor. and ignorant
white and colored citizens would consent to
forego their privileges, for not only Is power
sweet but the absence Of power breeds fear
while they would look with too many mlsgty-
ings upon the near or remote future; while we
think IL unlikely that the people would consent
to the precise settlement Mr.. Memminger pro-
poses, still 1t is clear that convention NIGH
easily correct many of oar eutls, and might
perchance, reach the seat Of the uery anorst o.
our diseases. We favor the call of conVen-
ton. What say the people ?"

The Louisiana Protest.


The following is the text of the formal no.
tice given by the property-owners and tax
payers Of New Orleans that they will not be
responsible for, and will resist the payment
Of the unauthorized debt of the State Of
Louisiana. In South Carolina, we must first
ascertain what is the nominal debt. We
can then tell what is the legitimate debt Of
the State:
'iNEw ORLEANS, March l8, 1871. {.
''The undersigned property-owners and ta1-
payers of the City Of New Orleans, satisfied
that the State Legislature has, at its last ses-
sion, exceeded Its power In the loans, endorse
ments and other obligations and grants au-
thorized on the part of the State, the total
amount of which is limited, by the recent
amendment to the constitution, to s25, 900, 900,
Incurred already as shown by the annexed
official statement Of the auditor, take this
early opportunity of notifying bankers, bro
kers and dealers in securities, In this country
and Europe, that they consider all such loans,
endorsements and pledges as null and of no
value; that they will sustain the authorities In
resisting their issue, and If issued, will, by
every legal means, endeavor to prevent the
payment ofany interest or principal, or OF any
tax levied for that purpose. They only recog-
nize the State debt proper, amounting to $685.

hibit of the auditor, and they class the 'ac-
cruing debt with the illegal legislation pre-
viously referred tor

The Path to Peace.

| MIR. Memminger, in his letter to Governor
Scott, tells the plain truth when he says
that ''the formation OF combinations" In the
upper counties Of the State is caused by '$he
conviction that the existing Government of
'the State is utterly corrupt, and that it has
s'failed in all the duties which are required
cat its hands-that there is no adequate
+ s'security for life or property, and that the
''ta1es laid by tie Legislature must eoent-
'suatein tie uirtaeal coniscation ofthe entire
s9ncome of the cstizens." Phs active cause
of all this evil is the Legislature OF the State.
The character OF that body must be changed,
and this cannot be had without altering the
constituency which elects the Legislature.
IIr. Memminger, therefore, proposes that the
State Constitution be amended so that the
voters, as in Massachusetts,, shall be only
such as can read and have paid some tax
for the support of the government This,
we may remark, is the objective point Of the
argument contained In the published articles
OF Citizen, who, moreover, proposes to drive
the Radical leaders. into support OF the
proposed constitutional amendment by de-
priving the government OF the monetary re-
sources which give it cohesion and are it's
only solid strength.
Mr.. Memminger is persuaded that no other
a,eecea6le remedy can be made available,
and he Indicates the manner in which Gov
ernor Scott and his colleagues may prepare
the way for amending the constitution, and
may lead the whites to await, in patience,
the permanent redress OF their wrongs. Upon
the face Of it, there is no reason for hoping
that the Radical leaders will consent to a
which will drive them from place
and power. Nor does it seem likely that the
negroes will vote to deprive the majority Of
their race of the suffrage. But the negroes
are under the thumb Of their leaders. 1t Is
cnfy necessary that these leaders should rec
ommend the amendment and the amend
mendment will be made. And, as the amend
ment could not go into effect for two yea rs,
aud as, until that time, the present leaders
would expect to hold undiminished sway,
and as a refusal to meet the whites on the
broad platform of right and justice will, in
the opinion OF our most staid citizens, lead
to an utter breaking down of the financial
Of the government, or to an ac-
tive resistance which will force the Federal
Government to take military possession OF
the state-the Radical chieftains, when they
survey the field, may be willing to accept the
lesser Of two evils. and so avoid the dangers
which now threaten all who are prominently
connected with the Radical Government Of
the State.

~ THE PuRESH AND SAFEST
The efficacy OF HesTETTERs.- CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTEBs as. y specific for recruiting
the enfeebled body and cheering the desponding
mind, has passed into proverb. In the United
States, where this marvellous tonic has borne
down all opposition, and eclipsed all rivalry, the
demand for it has annually increased In heavier
and heavier ratio for years. UNTIL at ast the regu
lar sales OF this preparation exceed those OF all
other stomachics comblHed, Eminent members OF
the medical profession and hospital surgeons with
out number, have candidiy admitted that the
pharmacopeia of the faculty contains no prescrip
ton that produces such beneficial effects In dys-
pepsia, general debility and nervous diseases, as
Hostetter's Bltters. To lss the language Of ven
cradle ply slcan of New York, "the Btters are the
purest stLmulaut and the safest tonic we have"
But the uses Of the great vegetable anttdote are
much more comprehensive thsn such praise
would imply. As q preparatory satidote to epi.
demic disease, genial stimulsnt, a promoter OF
constitutionalNsor, an sppettzer, q stomachic,
and remedy for nervous debility, no medicinal
preparation, has lever attained the reputation OF
Hostetter,s Bitters 1t b the household tonic OF
the American people; Rndin sl human proosotl-
ity will be so for centuries to come. The mag.
mates Of science recognize lts merits; and that 1t
is emphatically the medicine Of the masses, Is
proven by It's vast and ever increasing sales.

The Military Dictator Bill.

The new Ku-Klu1 bill introduced in the
United States House OF Representatives, on
Tuesday last, gives the President and the
United States officials absolute and irre-
sponsfSle control Of the lives and fortunes Of
the people of the South. Under the provis-
ions OF this bill, no white man will be safe
from arrest. 1t is ! drag-net whose meshes
are small enough to hold securely every citi-
zen who is suspected of wrong-doing, or is
supposed to be The accomplice of a person
accused of crime. And, in order that fair
trial may give the accused no chance of
escaping it is explicitly stated that any Of
fence begun in Que district and completed in
another may be tried in either district. A
Bill more barbarous, or more dangerous to
civil and political liberty, was never brought
before the Legislature of a constitutional
government. This bill must cause Thad.
Stevens to chuckle in his grave.
We regard the Ku-Klux Bill as desperate
effort, on the part of the Radicals, to stem
the tide of Democratic triumph. A revolu-
ton in the South-real or manufactured
would go far to strengthen the administra-
ton, and 10 secure the nomination and cleo
tion of CIR mt in 1872 This is what he is
driving at, and we may rest assured that he
will stick at nothing in the endeavor to boil
sterup his tottering party. The cold-blooded
soldier Of Spottsylvania and Cold Harbor is
willing, and ready, to make new Slaughter
pens in every State of the South.
Surely the people of the North and West,
whose turn will come next, will resist,
through their representatives, this last effort
to erect the throne of The Dictator upon the
ruins Of the Constitution.

The State Debt and the Prosperity of
Charleston.

A special meeting Of the Chamber Of Com
merce will be held at 2 o'clock this day to
consider the financial condition OF the State
as affecting the commercial interests and
prosperity of Charleston. The subject is one
which concerns every member Of the Cham
ber. 1t is necessary that their action should
be firm, temperate and conclusive We
hope, therefore, that the attendance will be
large, and that the deliberations and deci-
sions of the meeting will be worthy Of o
body which represents nearly the whole OF
the commercial capital Of Charleston.
