The Freet1nlan's Bank.

SENATOR ROBERTSON STANDS SQUARE
LY BY THE DEFRAUDED DEposlToRs.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, January y, 1878.
4. q. Jones, Esq, Clerk Of House
Of Representatives, SlR--l have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
the concurrent resolution Of the
General Assembly of. the State Of
South Carolina. relative to the Freed
mans Bank. I cordially concur in
the purposes Of the resolution. g.:
The theory announced in the organi-
zation Of the Frcedman's Bank, by
the Congress Of the United States,
that place of safe deposit was to be
furnished, where our enfranchised fel-
low-citizens could securely. deposit
their earnings, was wise, and found
cordial response in every philanthropy
ic heart. It tended to encourage
habits of laborious industry and self
denial, so important undert the circum-
stances, and gave the hope of progress
by material prosperity, which is the
true basis Of all advancement. The
misapolication of the deposits in the
Freedman's Bank cannot, therefore.
but be regarded great national
calamity.
There can be no doubt but that
credit was given to the bank, and de-
posts induced by the impression gene
rally existing that the Government Of
the United States was guarantor of
the institution. 1t is also notoriously
true that officials Of the United States,
especially those engaged in the Freed
mans Bureau, did hold forth every en-
couraeement to dcpositors, and gave
out that the bank was y national in
stitution, and under guaranty Of the
general government. By these means
maltitudes Of our fellow-citizeus were
Induced to deposit their scanty means
in the bank, often at the price of
great selt:deuial on their part and
the part Of their families.
Under this state Of things | cousid-
er that the national government is un-
der strong obligation to make good
to depostirors all deficiencies.
Holding these views, l will do
everything in my power to promote
such legislation as is necessary to meet
the purposes of the concurrent reso-
luton.
Very respectfully,
T. J. ROBERTSON.

The Etlyefield Troubles.

The many conflicting reports pre-
vailing in regard to the Edgeheld
difficulties during the past week are
substantially summed up as.folloWs :
Gen. Buffers house was Sc: on fire by
negro, who admits that he was paid
$50 to commit the foul deed, by the
notorious Tennaut. In the attempts
made to arrest Tennant there was
shooting On both sides, and four colored
men were mortally wounded. Intense
excitement prevailed. and 1t was feared
that a widespread scene of bloodshed
would result from the iuccndlary con-
duct of the arch fend who is reSpon-
sible for all the trouble which has
thus far occurred
There is but little doubt but that
the burning OF Een. Butler 5 house'
by which the lives Of his wife and
children were endangered, was prompt
ed in retaliation for the action of the
committee in waiting upon the Gov
ernor some time since in regard to the
militia.
The latest is that Tenuant and .
number Of his company have been
arrested.
An order issued for the arrest Of
Gen. Butler, caused that gentleman to
deliver himself up. A committee Of
six from the General Assembly visited
Edgeield to investigate. All is quiet.

Legislative.

The Governor has had another test
with the Assembly, this time in the
matter Of appointments of trial justices
for Chester. Among the list of nomi-
nations sent in by him were the names
of several Conservatives. In the Senate,
however, these names were laid over
and all others confirmed. Whereupon
the Governor informed the body that
when he could not find an honest, capa-
bic republican, that he would appoint
one from the opposite side, and that if
it was meant to correct the abuses COM
planned of he must have their aid. He
intimated further that he would not
submit to ring dictation, and that if the
fight was kept up she would refuse to
appoint until after the adjournment of
the Legislature. The consequence was
that the nominations were all confirmed.
Resolutions FROM the Governor Of Viz
ginia, passed by the General Assembly
of that State, were presented on Satur-
day in relation to the military usurpa-
ton of Louisiana, condemnatory of the
course pursued. The effect of these
resolutions was as might have been ex-
pecteG. The Pk@nir says that White

bled. A bill has been introduced re-
quiring clerks Of courts to record all
marriages that shall take place in their
respective counties.
The House bill to provide for the
registration Of the qualified electors of
the State was carried by strict party
vote, three Conservatives voting with
the Republicans.
\ bill to prevent cotton factors from
taking IN unfair advantage Of those
whose cotton they sample has been in

items that factors found guilty of taking
q greater quantity of cotton from q

There is 4 possibility that an adjourn
ment will be effected about the middle

The Policy Of Hate.
ITS EFFECT on WHITES AND BLACKS
IN THE SOUTH.

Gov. Smith, iii hiss message to the
Georgia Legislature, speaks as follows
Of the evil effect Of the Radical policy
Oh the prospects of the South:
The chief obstacle in the Way of
our advancement has arisen from the
course pursued ~ the party IN posses
sion Of the Federal Government to-
ward the Southern States. One Of
the immediate results Of this policy
has been the DISCRIMINATION Of our
labor, and the consequent large IN
crease ofidleneSs, vagrancy and crime.
1t has been errcueou>ly assumed that
the lately enfranchised class would
not receive jast and proper treat
ueut from the white people, and to
r,event this Imaginary evil the mis-
chievuus and unconstitutional meas
ures known as the enforcement acts
have been rcsorjc,! to. We are now
further threatened by still greater
evils, in $hc passage by Congress Of
what is commonly designated as the
civil rights bill. Should this great
and unnecessary wrong be inflicted
rpon us. [ hazard nothing in saying
that it will be followed by the im-
mediate overthrow Of on: public school
system. by the complete demorallza-
tion Of cur labor, by great injury to
cur finances and 10 the holders Of our
securities, and by further a'lenatlo"
between the two classes Of our popula-
lion. The unwisdom- Of the measure:
50 far at leas: as the State Of Georgia
j concerned, is shown by the fact
tina. the laws of this Stat" already
guarantee precisely the same rights
10 all the people, Of whatever class,
condition orcolor. We have one law
for all-for the white man and the
colored mau-for freeman and freed
man. 1t is admitted that there arc
distinctions among US, but they are
such distinctions as obtain among all
peoples, under all governments, and
in all societies, and such as no govern
1nent has heretofore undertaken to
regulate by Legislative cuactrlents.
That such Legislation is unnecessary
aud can be productive OF miSchiet'onlyez
We very we'll know. Self-lnterest, to
take no higher view Of the subject,
would dictate to the white people the
policy of forbearanee, Cancellation and
iiair.dealins towards the colored race.
Even when slave, the negro was
sure of protection and kind treatment,
and now that he has become a free
and independent labOrer, and possesses
every legal right that the white man
