A correspondent ofthe N. Y. Journal of
Commerce, travelling in South Carolina,
writes: Notwithstanding the talk about Ku
Klux and kindred organizations, I know of
no place more susceptible of rapid develop
ment or more inviting to thesettler than the
State of South Carolina. The difficulties
that do exist being between the adventurous
clas of Northerv politicians and the scum of
Southern society, Northern man whose aim
is the transaction of business is just as safe
here, in life, liberty and property, as he
would be in Boston, and probably safer.

ministers belonging to the NJ E. Church of
Virginia and North, Carolina at Enfield last
week for the purpose Of organizing Con-
ference in two States under the General
Colored Conference Of America organized
last December This is an independent
work that has been set apart by the NJ. E.
Conference South with view of giving the
blacks u church of their own, with their own
State and general conferences, and with their
own bishops, in order that they may regulate
their own government The two bishops
have adopted the workings of the NJ f.
Conferen ce South as theirguidance, and they
are going forward earnestly in their work.
The Church government has nothing pertain
ing to politics in it.
Bishop Miles (colored) met Bishop Pierce
rnd the Rev. Mr.. Burton at Enfield, and un-
der .His management, with the assistance of
these gentlemen, all necessary primary steps

ference for these two States Allthe member

"Whatever may be the appearances on the

that no matter whether it be the .Greely and

LETTER FROM GEN. BUTLER.
The Immigration Scheme.

+ Mr. EDITOR: Having received number
of letters from friends in different parts of
the country, making enquiries into the de-
tails and objectof our scheme in aid of i'm
migration into South Carolina, l propose,
with your permission, as briefly as possible,
to answer them through the medium Of your
columns. ...- .s...s I.c.! 81.
In the frst place, experience-has shown
that iindicidrals have not succeeded in bring
ing in immigrants to any extent. In the
second place, efforts have been, hitherto 'di-
,rected to procure merelaborers, and not to
introducing actual settlorsto become owners
ofthe soil. Our purposelis, by means Of an
association thoroughly organized and we'll
managed, to obtain large tracts of land and
establish at least four coloniesin the East
ern, Middle and Northern portions Of the
State respectively. Our effort will be BY To-
eating the colonies in healthy districts, by
selling small farms to actual settlers at low
prices, and on long credits, and by using our
personal influence to have colonists assisted
and kindly treated by their neighbors; to
make these settlements the nucleus of pros
porous and ever increasing immigrant popu-
lation, who, in their turn, will add to the
wealth and secure the prosperity of the
State. five can succeed, in this, the prob
lem of increasing the population Of South Car
olina, and, indeed, of the whole South, to any
extent, is solved. We have vast areas of
land capable of very high and rcmunerative
cultivation that are now lying waste, and are
but so much dead capital. They need to be
divided, aud diversified industry should be
substituted for the destructive system of the
last few years. We need more Intelligent,
seE-reliant, thrifty laboring population, who

and less ofthe staple crops: Cotton is the
best market crop that we have. but should
only be made after an ample supply: of pro-

This enterprise has been inaugurated for

nothing more than risk staked upon the

is the only practicable one as yet devised.
1t seems to us that, taking stock in this en-
terprise is no more censurable than in any
other, and the only objection that cal, be
urged is that the investment may yield re-
turn disproportionate to the amount invest

in referenceto any other untried Investment.

A LARGE GOVERNMENT CLAIM SET.
TLED.-For some unknown reason, says the
Savannah Advertiser of the 21st, the papers
have neglected to make public the recent
settlement Of the cotton claims of Messrs T
r. and J. G.. Mills by the Court of Claims at
Washington. The Court awarded the sum
of S131 ,O0O to Messrs Mills as return for
the cotton belonging to them, which was
seized in common with large amount of the
staple during Sherman's occupancy Of Savan-
nah. The sum above mentioned has been
paid over to tho claimants.

THINGS IN UrAu.--Mr. James Brooks,
of the New York Express, who is making an
overland trip to. the Pacific, and writing ac-
counts Of scenes and incidents to bis paper
gives an interesting description Of his visit
to Utah, and of the saints and saintesses
with whom he attended worship in the tenn
pie. He says: ,2,-,>'a

not satins also intrude; but the great mass
of the women. bring their hats and their robes
from their mothers and great grandmothers,
and the result is a head gear representative
of Sweede, of Scot, of Celt, Of Yankee, the
patterns, perhaps of ten generations behind,
with scoots Of Quaker formation and umbre+
las Of Italian conception. 5 Mr., Brooks had
the satifaction of hearing q sermon from
Brigham, who is described as good looking
man, now of seventy years, resembling much
Tom Benton, the Missouri senator in his lat
ter days. MIR. Brooks speaks of him as a
man Of all sorts of ability whether as preach
er, prophet, governor, banker, farmer and
railroad builder, but it appears. he is not
much longer to have undisputed religious
dominion. The Episcopalans have planted
church in his capital. The Roman Catho-
lies are already there. The Meth6dists are
about to invade Utah with one Of their pro-
digious camp meetings, assembling Method
lists there from Missouri, at 0maha, to San
Francisco, on the Pacific. They threaten to
capture Brigham with all his hosts. Brig
ham, generously or tauntingly, offered them
his huge tabernacle, holding $4,000 persons,
with its galleries, new, and the big organ,
perhaps the biggest in the world, to be
thrown in, for their great lovefeast; but they
declined the taint or the tiiunt, and they
turn up in tents, in the open fields, under
the cloudless sky. The grasshoppers, which
have hitherto been greater enemies to the
Mormons than the Gentiles, are being de-
voured by the gulls, SO that Utah is likely
to be freed from the pest. p.

CLAYTON ACQUITTED.

The trial of Senator Clayton of Arkansas,
on a charge of fraud in the Congressional
election of 1870, ha resulted in his dis
charge, without going into the testimony.
The St Louis Republican says: "The in
dicted Senator did not plead not guilty to
the indictment; he only pleaded that the
Governor of State is not an sofficer Of
election within the meaning of the act;
Judge Dillon took the same view Of the
case and released Clayton. We do not say
that Judge Dillon's decision is not correct;
but the meaning of it is that a dishonest
Governor,particularly ifhe bea Republican,
may violate the enforcement act as much
as he pleases to, and commit any number
of frauds with perfect IMMUNITY. He may
dictate the registration so as to return a
defeated candidate to Congress in spite of
the enforcement act and in defiance of the
will of the people, without fear of punish
ment. The case Of the Republican Senator
is the first conspicuous one that has arisen
under the enforcement act, and he slips
through it without even denying the charges
against him. -....tH t.f.s

rvF From the Memphis Appeal, Oct. 10. .,
IF anything had been wanting 10 crush
out the new party movement proposed at
Nashville a few days since, the inaugural
address of Gov. Brown would accomplish
the lob. He invokes the Democracy of Ten
nessee to stand firmly by principle and to
preserve its organization. Here are his
words: "Although success has overwhelm-
ingly crowned the united efforts of the peo-
pie of Tennessee in their political struggle,
after the restoration Of the ballot, yet the
fruits of that victory may be lost if we are
not harmonious in sentiment and united in
purpose. "7he impatience Of some and the
disappointment Of others ,ciH po'c and then
distract our coiulseJS aud threaten our in
tegFity. But LET US STAND FIRMLY BY
PfINcIPLE, PRESERVE OUR oRGANIzA-
TIoN, AND WAIT PATIENTLY THE GREAT
DEVELOPMENTS OF THE FUTURE, IN THE
CONFIDENT HOPE OF A SPEEDY REsroRA-
TIoN OF CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE" This is good
advice and inspires the Democracy OF Ten
nessee with increased confidence in their
Governor, who seems to feel and see and
know that there can never be but two par
ties in Tennessee-the foes and the friends
of .Radicalism. There is neither room nor
excuse for guerrillas. Gov. Brown knows
that when convention, of the. American
Democracy has clearly and finally marked
out the ground to be occupied by all who
desire and would accomplish the overthrow
of Radicalism in the speediest and most
effectual manner, the little handful of growE
ers must come inside and stand with the
Democracy or go outside and take their
chances in cross fire.
