kdsf there is no hostility here to the
United states Government, but that
| all of.sour troubles have arisen from
local causes-a Tyranny at home
which has driven our people to des-
peration.
As this correspondent remarks:
The OILY hopeful sign in the situa,
tion is the disposition recently mani.
Tested by a few leaders Of both par.
ties to seek compromise, that will
give some representation in tho Gov
ernment to the white men, and stop
the persecution of the negroes. a
Convention, Of, taxpayers from all
fparts Of the State is to meet in this
city on. Tuesday week, and much is
hoped from this assembly, which will
bring together all the leading men in
THE State. t have heard three plans
discussed for harmonizihg the con:
aicting elements: One eeiitemp'ates
an educational test Of suffrage, on the
Massachusetts plan. This is advocat-
ed by Mr.. 'Memminger, Of Charleston:
who was Secretary of the Treasury
| for the Confederacy, and it would be
acceptable TO the educated white men,
but would meet with no favor among
the poor whites, who would be dis
franchised to as great an extent as
the negroes. A second proposition is
to 30 amend the State Constitution
as to make the Senate elected: by
property-owncrs alone, and tnus es.
tabIish a check upon the legislation
of the Lower House. The third plan,
and the one which seems now to meet
with most favor, is 70 adopt the sys'
tenn Of cumulative voting and min'r.
ity representation: which has recently
boen adopted in Illinois. A consider,
able number Of leading mon of both
parties say they will be satisfied with
this plan, which would give the 1te.
publicans ,hree-fitths anu the Demo
Gratis two-ffths Of the Legislature
The minority would, it is thought,
bo sufficiently influential to prevent
reckless legislation. If this propo.
-sition is agreed upon with unanimity
by both parties, there may be pearc
in the State; otherwise, tho prospect
is very dismal. ID

MIR. CHAMBERLAIN'S LETTER


Mr.. D. II. Chamberlain, the At
torney, General, has written lette
to Col. VIM. l.. Trenholm, o
Charleston, in which, whilst avow
ing himself strict Republican, he
has the candor to denounce the
abnses which have characterized
the Radical rule in the State. Al
a remedy for present evils, he rec
ommends the, adoption of minor
ity representation and advocates il
MS a practicable measure Of relief
We have no doubt that it would
cure many of the existing evils
and as affording an earnest of more
extended reforms, would be accept
ed by our people as a measure o.
peace, and would thus give tran.
guilty to the country. But will
this concession be granted by the
dominant party? Will they cor
sent, to; a change in the election
law by which their powers are
curtaiied? If they DO, it will be
because many causes sof terror are
now operating upon their fears
the indignant remonstrance of an
outraged public sentiment abroad,
and the mutterings of storm at
home, which threaten the founda-
tions oftheir power.
Mr.. Chamberlain thinks that
reform can only come from our
selves, aud NOT from abroad. In
the present complexion of affairs,
lis certain that we have but little
to- expect from abroad, and what
ever is:achieved at home must be
done by united counsels and con
certed action on the part of the
white, people Of the State. We
may thus qhepe to extort from the
fears of the dominant party those
concessions which we have never
yetbeen able to obtain from their
generosity. With this qualifica:
ton we may assent to the views ex.
pressed in the concluding para.
graphs Of his letter. ,,.4z. ass,a.
Ss.Ourhope hes sele'yin the strong
md fixed resolution of our own
people to right our. wn wrongs
and to work out our ewn salvation.
Repression Of open crime may
come from, the National, Govern.
rnent,r but permanent reform, in
our political condition, can only
come through ourselves. Let this
tfuth be never forgotten. 1t is q
lesson which must be learned, al
whatever cost. With resolute
apd prudent spirit, on the part Of
our responsible and enlightened
fsllow-citizens. scheerfnlly acknowl
edging and defending the equa
cigiland political rights of alla ou'
citizens, laying aside effete tradi
tons and bending all their ener
gies to the work Of present reform
1 Ieonfdantly say, from my intimate
knowhdge Of the present situation
that net only eau the present dom
iaant party be restrained from fur
ther abuses, but they can be con.
trolled in the interest Of those nen
who look to- the common and per
raaaent welfare of our State.
Despair is folly; loubt is weak
ness; resolution, confidence, pru,
dence, fairness, justice are the
qualities which the situation calls
for. Our State can be saved; saved
by peaceful, constitutional means
and only bysuch means. adopted by
her own citizens, can she be saved
at all. You aud I, at least, are
ready for such a work. Who tina
loves his race or his State viii
refuse his aid ?" s-.. -

Another Chapter in the Cheney Controversy
Letter from bishop WhitehOuse TO the War
dens of Mr.. Cheney's Parish-I'hc Bishop
Determined to Sustain the Rights of His
Omce-No Interference Tolerated.
CHICAGO, August 81, 1871.
Bishop Whitenouse published In the Tribune this
morning a column and half reply to the recent
communication of tue wardens Of Christ church in
relation to the Bishops statement that the officers
OF Christ church had receded from the position
taken by the wardens in their letter Of july IL to
the Bishop. and that tney had consented to the ab
sence of the rector from the chancel OF Christ
church on the occasion Of an Episcopalian vista
ton, and that the candidate prepared by him for
shall be presented for tnat rite by some other cer-
gyman. In reply Bishop WhitehOuse quotes an ex.
the Bishop, naming day when they would be glad
to receive him at Christ church, The extract Is as
follOws:-
give notice that the Right Rev Bishop OF diocese will
hold the Epscops visitation and sdministe the sacred rive
Sunday Trinity being the 10th day Of September
been pleased to change tue time from August
the 10Th of September Your sRr SGsssP dE.s Warden
The Bishop insists that the first fourteen words
OF the extract warranted MN In the statement that
occasion OF his visitation. He also gives qulre
lengthy interview with Mr. Crane, subsequent to the
wriling OF the letter above quoted in winch says
Mr. Crane assured him that Mr.. Cheney would De
absent The Bishop also says that Dr. Kelly, during
the preceding week, came to ask his consent to on
ciae in Christ church the following Sunday at the
invitation of the warden, and that Mr.. Cheney had
urled Dr. Kelly 10 do so. Dr. Kelly replied tnat he
could not compromise himself by any service recog-
nizing Mr.. Cheney. Mr.. Cheney reJoined that he
dill not wish any clergyman to be compounded
through MIN with the Bishops that the invitation
from the warden alone and that he was the bearer;
that he Mr. Cneneyl expected TO be absent; but II
not interfere. The rest OF the letter contains Bishop
Warehouses; general statement OF his rights and
duties as Bishop Of Illinois and his design tO vindt
cate them. In conclusion he says
You must know the Church, ip my hand, will never
be voluntarily submitted TO such anomaly,
