SuppREss THE NORTHERN KU KLux
AND THERE WILL DE NONE South. The
Blltimore Gazette makes tile point to the
Congressional outrage committees:
"Whnn Radical committees Mt Wasl-
ington are holding a sort of Fehn, &C.
ricM over certain districts of the South,
where the people are compelled, in self
defence, to resort to personal protection
against the attacks of luwless brutee,
who are bounded on by Acts Of Con-
grese to deeds of violence and outrage,
1t does seem little strange that they do
not occasionally turn their attention to
desperndoes of their own party at home.
Is there, for instance, surprising that
there is II Kn Ktux organization, any
more vindlctive or bloodthirsty black
gnard among it's ranks than Mr.. Wendell
Phillips? Is there among those who
have been rendered desperate by the
odious tyranny of carpet-bng authority
aud negro supremacy, any one who is SO
well worthy the term of assassin as the
man who advocates the shooting of hnlf
dozen Southern miliiopaires at the
drum head, in order to awe snbjngated
provinces into submission? Iu all the
indignant outbursts that ever have risen
from the lips of the Southern people,
has any one ever heard of prayer
being lifted up to sweep O country with
tho Bosom of utter destruction, and to
leave it no ruler but the sword, until
every now living white man is in his
grave" Yet this ,s the language applied
by Mr.. Phillips to what he is pleased to
dignity by the name of rebrlGom, aud
1t Is just the rawlings Of such malignant
maniacs, and the influences they exert
through the representatives they elect to
Congress, that keep the South III the un-
fortunate condition III which it ls."

can't last; the people can't live under
slch legislation. This Is one OF the
Q ,uses of the disturbances in the upper
Counties. Il No people will quietly sub
NIT when they are required to take the
bread out, of their children's mouths to
put it into the pockets OF the thieves
who have come amongst them only to
steal.
Gov. Scott has been much censured for
the present condition Of things, but it ia
due to him, and it is due to the tax-pay-
ing people that it should be known, that
he has exerted himself, and is still exert
ing himself, to arrest these evils and re-
store better condition of things. He
has stopped much of the Legislative
robbery by his veto. For this, and for
trying to do his duty to the people, he is
accused, by tho Radicals, of leaning to
tho Democrats. Being thus placed be-
tween two fires, the Governors situation
is not, by any means, pleasant one.
He means we'll, and is anxious to adopt
such measures as will restore quiet aud
promote the true interests Of the people;
this end. He needs, and now invites,
the we'll meaning and the good men Of
all parties to advise and confer with him
as to the best plans to be adopted; and,
if such will aid and give him their sup
port, all will be well. It is true the peo-
pie of South Carolina have acted with
very great fo-beasaacc, IL submitting TO
all the robbing and insults imposed upon
them; and It is asking almout too much
Of human nature to ask the people of
Sonth Carolina to forbear longer. But
when it is borne in mind that all the
riots and disturbances add strength to
the Radical party, and prolong and con-
tinue their wicked rule, forbelrance is
the true policy. Nothing but evil can
come from violence. Their conduct af-
fects not only themselves but the whole
South and our friends throughout the
Union. Such course must be pursued
as will strengthen the hands of our
friends in Congress. for in great revo-
luton the organization of government
and the restoration of law and order call
for the exercise of the highest moral
qualities known to human nature.

The Clerk of the Board of County
Commissioners takes this method Of say
ing to the many taxpayers of Union
County, who solicited and urged him to
take the position, that in obedience to
special order No. 8, X. X. K, Ito which
his attention has been called, he "re-
nounces and relinquishes the position. "
He is not the clerk of the School Com
missioner. What he has done in that
Office was intended to benefit all the
parents, tenchers and children in Union
County; for all children between six and
sixteen years of age are entitled to their
proportion of the school fund, and also
the school books, at New York cost
price. TO give tue proper direction to
this fund, was his object; but his mo-
tives having been misunderstood, he
cheerfully withdraws from the business

South Carolina In Baltimore.

In the Baltimore Gazette, of March 7,
we observe the valedictory address Of
Prof T. T. Miles, nj. D., to the gradu-
ates of the medical class of the Univer-
sity Of Maryland. Prof. Miles is dis.
tinguished Carolinian, who won his first
laurels in the Charleston Medical Col
lege. He now works in Baltimore, and
the loss of South Carolina is the gain of
Maryland. The address before us is
characteristic of the author-earnest,
hopeful and truthful. Prof. Miles mag
niies his profession, and evinces deep
appreciation of the high spirit in which
the man of science should live and work
and standing up always for
the truth against error, ignorance and
charlatanism, and showing himself, to
the very end of life, "strong in will to
strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield, +"
and finally,
'sTo pass when life her light withdraws,
Not void OF righteous seifapplause,
Nor in purely selfish Cause"
Years ago, when the writer Of this
was pursuing the ways of medicine, and
learning the art to solve the dark riddles
of pain and disease, he enjoyed the in
struction of Prof. Miles, who was then
young in the profession. Then, as now.
Prof. Miles exhibited that enthusiasm
for his chosen profession which is an
element Of success. Doubtless his me-
rits as man and a professor are now
fully appreciated in Baltimore.
In medicine at least it may be claimed
that our State is we'll represented abroad.
With Drs. J. Marion Sims and r. G..
Thomas, Professors Dickson, Chisolm
and Miles, DR.. Edwin s. Gaillard and
Others, representing medical South Ca
rolina outside of her limits. our record
is creditable. But here we must stop,
lest it might bo considered that we are
disposed to obtrude upon the profession,
and to enter the domain Of medical jour
nalism.

COLUMBIA, 8. g.. Marsh IT, 1871.


Mr.. EDITOR: see from an extract In
your valuable paper, taken from the
Yorkville Enquirer. that the Governor
has promised the people of York County
that reasonable time would be given for
the payment OF taxes without incurring
the twenty per cent. penalty. hear
that the Treasurer of this County has
already closed his books. and is exacting
from taxpayers twenty per cent. in ad-
dition to the extravagant tax imposed
by the Legislature. This, with the ex-
traordinary tax bill of the city of Co
lumbia is enough of itself to ruin every
property holder and merchant in the
corporate limits, without pouncing upon
them with the twenty per cent. added.
In consequence of the low prices for cot
ton this season, all are short OF cash,
and some are still holding n small ba-
lance of their cotton crops, hoping for
better prices, with the intention of ap-
proprinting the proceeds when sold to
the payment of their taxes; but if the
twenty per cent. is required, in addition
to the high tax bills, it will be equal to
killing the goose for her golden egg.
hope those in authority will extend
the time of payment without e1acting
tho twenty per cent penalty.

The Union of yesterday, referring to
what 1t calls . grand plot to overthrow the
Republican party, remarks: "The Pic
NIX, of yesterday, struck the key note
when it urged these lawless men to fur
ther deeds OF violence and blood-shed by
proolaimipg that entire satisfaction could
not be had until the Republican party
was overturned root and branch" We
have to say that this is gross misrepre-
sensation OF the point made by US. and
an gross perversion of the spirit
of the pSSP position laid down.
Whilst re do hold that radical and
thoroua hange must take place in the
present governmental regime, before we
can realize genuine and lasting condi-
ton of public tranquility and public i'm
provement, yet in order to accomplish
this result we have never yetinvoked the
weapons Of force. We have hoped for n
peaceful deliverance through civil and
regular FORMS Such has been our
policy ever. Such have been our efforts.
Not to employ stronger language than is
necessary to. convey our. meaning, We
confine ourselves to the remark that the
Union makes statement nnfounded in
fact. when it ventures to charge this
journal with urging lawless men to fur
ther desdslof violence. This RESPONSE
bility rests upon the party and the men
with which, the Onion is politically iden-
titled. Itshall not shift this RESPONSE
bility. The responsibility for the pre-
sent deplorable state of things will cling
to the Union's party like "the shirt of
Nessus.'
The Union says: ga few designing,
ambitious men are determined to rule or
ruin, aud to these men, more than to all
other causes, this State, to-day, owes her
present unhappy condition." This is
not the trouble. The Union has missed
the mark. The present unhappy condi-
tion of the State is due not to the fact
that ''a few designing, ambitious men are
determined to rule or ruln," but to the
fact that a number Of designing and COR
rupt men are determined TO steal and steal
The Union, if it desires to state the truth
as it exists, must review its study of
causes. We give it notice that it shall
not unohallenged ascribe to us its wrong
fol view of our policy. We have earn
estly sought the peace of the State and
proper accord between the races as
essential to our material development.
If in consequence of the misrule of the
regime that the Union upholds, at least
in the main, acts OF violence have oc-
Cured, we can truthfuily say, "Our
withers are unwrung." Not upon us
rests the responsibility. But upon the
men of the present regime, who have
made the State what it is, and given rise
to oil the acts of lawlessness that have
recently occurred, and all the hard en-
barrassments springing from excessive
taxation, this responsibility does rest.
Nor will the efforts of the Union avail
aught in placing the responsibility where
it does not belong.

HANCOCK FOB PREs1DENr.-Tho
Metropolitan Record has no doubt
that the Vallandigham Daytonspeech
willhave the effect Of reuniting all
classes of the Democracy, North and
South, in solid, unbroken column.
A Pennsylvania letter says: Eve
rybody here is in favor of Hancocl,
for President. Pennsylvania is sure
for Hancock in the Democratic Nation
al Convention. Gen. Coulter stands
best for the Gubernatorial nomina-
tion next Fall, although Gen. Cass
has many friends. Pennsylvania will
enter the Gubernatorial and Presi-
Dental campaigns nett year with
military men in front, and not in the
rear, as formerly. Judge Black was
here to-day, and I interviewed him.
BE is Hancock all over just the man,
hesays; for the Presidential chair. The
union OF the old and young Democra-
cy on Hancock is a marvellous sign.
Judge Black seemed enlivened by the
universal spirit pervadingin favor of
Pennsylvania favorite son. Young
Clancy Jones goes for Hancock Sen
ators Petriken and Deehert go for
Hancock; Sam Randall goes for Han,
cock; Harry R. Coggshall, Chairman
Philadelphia delegation, goes for Han
cock. They all go for Hancock. Han
cock all round, with few exceptions.
The whole State ticket is thought to-
be sure for the Democracy under the
banner OF. Hancock for President.
