Commenting upon Senator Robert
sons letter, the Charleston Nems re-
marks:
''Nor must it be forgotten that for
three weary years the moral power of
the State has been combined in favor of
peace, good order aud obedience to the
law Gov. Scott was elected and re-
elected by negro votes. The State Lee
gislature is the most venal, the most
brntally stupid and malicious known to
civilization. The wealth, the intelli-
gence and the virtue of the State are ab-
solutely without representation. Mil
lions are added to the debt of the State
the swarm of tax gatherers FL III the last
dollar from the pockets of the people.
Yet the prosecuted and half-ruiuetl
whites have obeyed the laws, and, until
within the past few weeks. not finger
has been raised against the constituted
authorities of thu State. We have tried
the N oral power, and the only result il
fresh exaotion, renewed robbery, worse
tyranny and more t. xation.
"The plain English of Senator Robert
sons letter is only this: The whites
must, as body, resolve to obey the
laws, however Infamous; to pay The
taxes, however enormous; to submit t.
injustice, however grievous. This being
done, the whites may rest assured that
their patience aud forbearance will en-
courage onr negro rulers to lay the last
feather upon the backs of the people,"

good men back into political life we shall
have to adapt our Government machinery to
the conditions in which society now finds
itself. The men of education and respecta-
bility in this community are rarely men O.
leisure; they are all as busy as they can possif
bly, be. They have either to make fortunes, or
keep them, and keeping fortunes in the pre-
sent state of our industry is nearly as difficult
as making them. They have, too, to administer
nearly all the churches of the country, and
to act as trustees for the vast number of
persons who are, in every community, inca
pable Of taking charge of their own affairs.
III, therefore, they are to concern themselves
in politics also, politics must be simplifed.
But our politics are made as complicated and
hard to manage as il is possible to make
them. We have multiplied the number of
elective officers and the elections to such
degree that to keep the run of the candidates,
of the issues, and of the influences at
work in single district, takes the whole
time of healthy and active man. No man
who has other work can attempt to master 1t.
Then we have divided responsibility in such
q way as to take all heart out of persons OF
reforming turn, because no matter what we
do we can never feel sure that we have got
hold of the real author of any abuse, and rs
matter of fact we hardly ever do get him.
Considering the way in which a merchant or
ioWyOi HuuSs uOW WIN: W hSep phOo WIN euo
ordinary demands on him, it seems hard to
ask him to see to it that none but the best
men are nominated for Congress-, and the
Legislature, and for the three city Superior
Courts, and for the Marine Court, and for the
Police Courts, and civil District Courts, and
the aldermsnships, and the assistant alder
manships, and the Controllership, and
the Mayoralty, and the t-Attorneyship,
and Corporation Counselship, aud Sheriffalty,
and for the Governorship, and Secretaryship,
and the Canal Board, and Prison Inspector
ships and so on. Why, the looking after all
these things has to be profession, and it is
a profession, and in community where all
decent men are occupied by honest oallings,
it has naturally become a rascally profession.
No such system could be worked by the COM
munity at large, unless it was a community of
large landed proprietors, with plenty of time
on their hands, like that of the South before
the war, or community of free loafers, like
the Athenians, who passed their time in the
market place discussing candidates and nomi-
nations, every man knowing his neighbor.
