AN INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE

We invite the attention OF the public
to the correspondence published in the
DEMOCRAT this morning between Charles
Gayarre, Esq, OF this city, distinguished
for his literary and historical reputa-
ton, and Mr. Frank M. Etting, Of Phil
adelphia, Chairman OF the Centennial
Committee on the restoration Of Inde-
pendence Hall. Mr.. Gayarre, as will
be observed, has consented to write a
biographical sketch OF the life of John
Rutledge, OF South Carolina, one Of the
signers OF the Declaration OF Indepen-
dence, to be read at Philadelphia on the
I'd OF July, 1876. He wishes for accu-
rate information respecting certain
points as to the alleged opinions and
conduct Of Mr.. Rutledge, to which
Mr. Fittings letter makes allusion. He
states his object with PARTICULARLY in
certain questions or propositions follow
ing the correspondence. We regret not
to be able to afford him any reliable in
formation AS to the matter Of his inqui.
ries. For some reason or other Mr.
Rutledge was rejected by the Senate, we
believe, as Chief Justice OF the United
States, and possibly he may find In this
important fact the key to the inquiries
he has made. The South Carolina Jour-
nails will do us the favor to republish
the correspondence, and to request all
persons having my secret or trust
worthy public information in regard to
the life and character Of John Rutledge,
not to be found in the standard histories
OF the times, to communicate directly
with Mr.. Gayarre to his address at New
Orleans

HONS. Z. +. KIDD AND G. l.. HALL.

It affords us great pleasure to comply
with the request Of many members OF
the Legislature to publish in this morn
ing's DEMocRAr, under the head of a
Communication, the letters addressed
by Hon. George A. Kelley, member Of
the House Of Representatives, and by
the Hons. E. d. White, George Stafford
and John Young, a committee Of the
joint Democratic and Conservative
caucus Of the Legislature.
It appears that not long since re-
portorial note was published in the
Picdyune and Bulletin with certain
marks Of significance, rejecting some
what scandalously upon the honor and
integrity Of the two chairmen OF CON-
mittees mentioned, meaning Hon. Z. E.
Kidd and Hon. G. L. Hall. 1t was un-
doubtedly the publication Of thought
less piece Of scandal or libel in the
terms In which It was made and the in
ferences naturally suggested. We are
more than gratitied to see the wanton
allegations so absolutely ignored and
squelched by the unmistakable language
Of Mr.. Kelly and the committee of the
joint Democratic and Conservative eau
Gus. We have felt from the first mo-
ment OF this pretended revelation that
any charges rejecting on the conduct
and character Of two otherwise unim-
peachable gentlemen and leading mem
bers Of the General Assembly, occupy
Ing high positions Of confidence and
trust. Were thoroughly scandalous and
false, and the plain and full exposure
and REPUTATION Of tho gross calumny
will only rebound with distressing effect
upon the motives Of its authors, who-
ever they may be. As for the Bulletin
and the Picayune we are quite sure the
publication crept into their columns by
error or inadvertence. II our leading

OF the homictdes In the State, white
men are generally killed by whites, and
colored men BY men Of their own race
The exceptions on either side are rare
There was q good deal Of evidence oerti
parishes In regard to felonies, and espe.
cially homicides, committed within
them. l will give the result OF few
which happen to have at hand. These
generally state homicides committed
since 1868.
In Assumption there were ten homi-
cides within that time, seven negroes
killed by negroes and three whites
killed by whites.
In Caldwell there were eight homi-
cides, three white men killed by whites,
four negroes killed by negroes, and one
negro killed by q white man in a quar-
rel about q woman.
In Calcasieu there were thirty-two
crimes, including homicides, burglaries
and aggravated assaults, charged during
that time. These were all committed
by negroes against negroes or whites
against whites; not q single case Of one
race against the other. M
In West Baton Rouge there were
eleven homieidea, Of Which four were
whites killed by whites, six negroes
killed by negroes, and ono white man
killed by a negro.
In Ibervllle during that time there
were indictments against twenty-three
white men and seventy-nine negroes for
felonies OF various grades, Including
homicide. ''
In Ouachita, sipoa 1871, there were
twenty-f0ur persons indicted for murder
or Inahslaughter. OF these, there were
four white men charged with killing
white men, two white men charged
with killing negroes, seventeen negroes
indicted for killing negroes, and two ne
groes indicted for killing white men.

In the Senate Rock J. Flint seems to
he the champion bill introducer. There
is nothing surprising IN this, for Flint
like Fiield has served the Iaw-making
power of our state in one capacity
or another, from clerksh1p up to the
floor of the Senate. Among number
OF bills, OF a general character, introduc-
ed by him thus far, We find one which

member OF the Senate. 'sNo. 81 S. 10
colify and consolidate the laws relating
to pay and mileage Of members, pay OF
employees, and providing for newspapers

IS merely an attempt to codify existing
laws, cutting down, it IS true, little on
the allowance OF plander to employees,
but in the main gives new lease Of life
to existing outra9es. We were in hopes
that something would be done this win
ter whereby Il radical reform in this spc-
Gle of plumber would come abcut, and
that the state would come under protec
ton of the law against abuses which are
disgrace to our people. Why not III
