A Sight for the Spirit of Sumner.

The Charleston Me,cs and Courier thinks that
had Mr. Summers aspirations been gratified,
he would once more before eternity have gazed
upon his wards and those Of the nation, and
paints scenes he would have witnessed in South
Carolina in the following graphic terms:
And what would the spirit of a man who
never lied and never stole have seen in the
chamber where laws are made for South Caro-
lima? Let the record speak The spirit of
Sumner would have seen walls garnished with
brocade and floors covered with tapestry which
were paid for with the agony and sweat of
white men, and are spit upon and defled by
uncouth negroes And what was the subject of
debate? 1t was proposal to tax the white
people for the payment of claims which no
man believes to be just, and most men know to
be false and fraudulent. He would have heard
one colored member declare that the bill was
passed by Corrupt MEANS" and that member
instantly branded a liar' by one of his asso-
ciates. He would have heard the first speaker,
unconscious of insult, declare that he was able
to prove that some of the members had been
paid 81 500 for their votes and another one
admit that the bill did include fraudulent
claims" He would have heard one especial
claim denounced as fraudulent by the very
person in whose name it was made out and
would have heard member announce that be
had been "ohered money to support the BILL"
He would have heard another colored man de-
clare that this bill was the "worst scheme that
had come before the Legislature" and another
say that "the justice of the claims was not a
matter of consideration" He would have
heard the colored members call each other
rogues, thieves and liars, and at least would
have seen the infamous swindle passed by the
House, and in fair way to become law. And
could he have fingered until the next day he
would have seen worse exhibitions of brutal
rascality. He would have seen oaths banded
and pistols brandished; whiskey on the lip
and gall in the heart.
This is no over-colored picture. AS much
may be seen almost any day in the South Car
olina Legislature. Let it be hoped that Sum-
ner was spared the sight 1t would have taught
him that he had wasted his life, and that he
had led to ruin those whom he thought to
save.

LIVERPOOL AND CHARLESTON, S. C.-The
Charleston Chamber of Commerce, entertain
ing the project of establishing steamship line
between the cities of Charleston and Liverpool
and encouraged therein by communications
from railroads in our vicinity, appointed a
committee to examine into and report upon the
project. The committee, after thoroughly can
vassing the subject, reported that the first and
most important step to be taken was to interest
the West in the advantages that our port pre-
sented for direct importation, and to see what
amount their merchants in the interior would
pledge themselves to import if the line was es-
tablished and equal facilities guaranteed as
upon other lines.
The committee have been fortunate in pro-
curing the services of Mr.. j. Adger Smyth to
take charge of this important mission, and we
bespeak for him the courteses and endorsement
of the press wherever he may visit Mr..
Smyth is a merchant of the highest respecta-
bility and intelligence, and carries with him
credentials from the Chamber of Commerce,
and letters from prominent merchants connec-
ted Herewith. He proposes to commence his
mission at Augusta then to visit in succession
Macon, Montgomery, Atlanta Knoxville,
Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, st. Louis,
and we feel confident that he will receive from
these cities all the encouragement he may
