We do not know who claims the
authorship OF the remarkable letter
which several Of the City Administra-
tors addressed to Gov. Nichols recent
ly, protesting against the signing Of
House bill No. 3o3, but we thought the
letter very specious one and we are
glad that the Governor has not allowed
himself TO be deferred by it from signing
the bill, which is, in every respect, wise
and proper measure. This action of
the Governor, who evidently has more
knowledge OF law than some people
Imagine, Is a deserved rebuke to those
persons who are forever imputing to
the Legislature violation OF the Con-
stitution whenever 1t passes bill which
does not suit or please them.
We do not hesitate to say that the pre-
tense that the bill in question violates
that provision of the constitution which
requires taxation to be equal and uni
form, or any other article Of the consti-
tuition, is so untenable as to be absurd
While 1t is quite pardonable in laymen
to entertain such notions, any lawyer
who would be reckless enough to Sc
riously maintain such proposition
would be laughed out of court.
Now that this bill has become a law,
we hope that delinquent taxpayers will
hasten to avail themselves of its pro-
visions and relieve themselves of the
reproach of delinquency. first, however,
paving their taxes for 1876 and 1877 in
cash, as this law requires them to do,
and thus enabling the city to conduct
its fiscal affairs on the principle of cash
payments. There is every reason to
believe that the provisions Of this bill,
and the Waterworks bill, will enable the
city to extinguish its outstanding in
debtedness, and thereby strengthen its
credit and fairly reward its faithful en-
ployes by making cash payments in
future FOL. honest services.

The Louisiana Radicals are an ire
pressible breed of politicians. After
they were whipped out Of the State
House into submission to the consti-
tuted authorities, they spent week or
ten days in cursing the President for q
id traitor and other things too rude
to mention in print, and then they
started in droves to Washington to
gather up anything they could lay hold

| The attack of the Times, even for that
too rough, coarse and vigorous paper, 10
strikingly expressive Of that virulence,
which we fondly imagined bad died out
In the hearts al least Of all liberal and
conservative men at the North. 1T is
based on the most elaborate tissue OF
falsehood ever embraced in tho same
number Of paragraphs and words.
| General, now Senator, Butler ID de-
seribed as n man OF low and vulgar OIL
gin and habits. rs Of the overseer ana
slave dealer class, conspicuous for his
brutality to negroes, as the importer oil
| Russian blood hounds to hunt down
runaway slaves. as the instigator Of the
massacre at Hamburg, indeed rep
| resentative Of the worst class which ex-
lists In the South, instead of that class Of
| scholarly. chivalrio and heightened gen-
| tlemen from which South Carolina has
been wont to choose her national repre-
sentatives.
It Ia too evident from the grossness OF
these falsehootls that the writer Of them
has been inspired by some graoeless
slanderer or ignoramus.
Gen. Butler Is known to every South
Carolinan as the very reverse OF the pic
ture here drawn. There IL no gentleman
in the North or South more respected
for his generous and ChivHftuus tfaits ::
his stern sense Of honor and Justice his
inflexible courage and promptitude In
resistance to every form Of tyranny and
oppression. No man on the continent
has prouder lineage. His mother was
tho daughter of Commodore ri. 9.
Perry. the hero OF ono of the brightest
achievements of our navy his uncle
was tho gallant Dol. Pierce Butler. who
fell at tho head OF tho Palmetto Regi-
ment In one Of the most gallant charges
OF our army In one of tho battles Ia the
valley OF Mexico. His grandfather.
bearing tho same name. was regarded
as the model Of Sou hern gentleman,
and his father. the einal Dol. Pierce
Butler. was the progcnitor OF that re-
markable family of Generals, so distin-
guished in our Revolutionary war. to
whom George Washington once gave
the toast "tro the Buffers. tho heroes
Of our Revolution"
So much for the lineage Of Gen. NJ. @.
Butler, reference to which we are pro-
voked by the sneers Of tho Times at his
low origin.
For the General himself history will
bear witness to his heroic aud self-sac-
riiicing devotion to the cause Of South
ern Independence. us will be further at
tested by the loss Of ono Of bis limbs
and the devotion OF handsome fortune
to the raising and equipment Of regi-
ment Of cavalry. which he led through
the late war with distinguished gal
lantry and skill. When the war was over
Gen. Butler co-operated with Gov.
Hampton In his eminently conservative
policy, in disoouraging and REFRESHING
all violent and extreme measures on tho
part of his oppressed and prosecuted
fellow citizens. The connection of his
name with the Hamburg affair had no
further foundation in truth than may be
derived from his presence In the charac-
ter of mediator and suppressor OF II
serious and bloody affair.
