We have communication from Col
Townes, in reference to comments
made by us on statements in his
speech delivered Mt the meeting in
Greenvillc, to choose delegates to the
Tax-Payers' Convention. We are
pleased to learn from Col. Townes that
be did not denounce tho convention as
''G trick" The purport OF his remarks
was to guard against the movement
which he feared might be on foot to
agitnte the repeal of the Act known as
the Funding Act or scaling law. so far
as it affected the old bonds. His solici.
tude was as to this particular point.
He explicitly stated that he had tho
greatest respect for the honor and in.
iegrity o: such gentlemen as Hon. W.
d. Porter and others engaged in calling
the convention.
Col. Towncs expresses his conviction
Of the valne OF the Funding Act Mt some

moro than this reference to it. In the

The PRosTRATE STATE This book
presents plain picture, drawn by a
Radical, of the present condition Of
South Carolina. 1t is terrible delinea
tion OF shameless corruption that we
wish every honest and candid nun
would read. The story of the wicked
degradation to which tho entire intelli-
gence Of South Carolina hns been
shamefully subjected has been often told
in our columns; and in this book, writ
ten by James S. Pike. lnte United States
Minister ut the Hague, radical Of the
Radicals, the disgraceful facts arc freely
and fully admitted. It is simply i'm
possible to exaggerato the terrible con.
dition OF things in that State South

enongh to steal.
We hopo this book will open the eyes
of our Radical friends to The shameless,
reckless and defiant corruption that has
plundcred tho State in every possible
way, and which this witness from tho
Administration aide describes as u
''moral morass, in which there is neither
standing nor holding ground" The
future Of the State is not local ques-
ton or partisan ono. Every good
citizen throughout tho country, lrro-
spective of party, is Interested in the
overthrow of tho present abominable
system OF governmental in South Carolina,
and in the bringing Of universal exc
Grafton and scorn upon the scoundrels
who have rioted so long in their spoils.
There is limit to human endurance,
and the experienced observer may
already see the signs of an awful and
omlnous storm. We hope aud tnrst
that the warning given in this book mny
be needed in Quarters where words from
anti-Administration sources arc power

The white race is truo to itself, and il
IS useless and doing Injustice to both
races to conceal the fact, that in giving
liberty and equality Of rights TO the
blacks, they had no desire to see them
rule over their own race. And the
blacks may as well know this mt once;
that there is no scheme that can be inid,
no measure that may be entered into,
nor expense SO great, which they will
not incur TO change such relation be.

country. Rest assured OF this, that
there are no white people North nor
South who will submit to see the blacks
rule over the whites in America. We
may as we'll be plain and candid on this
point, look each ether in tho face, and
let the truth be known. Radicalism, as
taught by political leaders for selfish
motives and personal gain, has led the
