Mr.. DuPre's Views on the Consti-
tuition.

Mr. EDIToR:-Tbe threat of the Republicans,
TO over.urn our present STATE Constitution on
tie ground, ,aat when The State was read
mitte1 TO the Union under the reconstruction
scts, it was stated that the Constitution of 1853
should not be amended, altered or abolished,
go as D abridge the right Of Suffrage, es it
then ex is,ed, is not worth in law, the paper
to write it on and those parts of The re-ccu-
struction acts, that treats on this subject, ere
perfectly rul and void. The Constitution of
the United States, not only guarantees to
each State Republican form of government
but gives the people the righ, to peacefully
assemble to redress their grievances and
make laws not inconsistent with the general
organic law cf the nation. To deoy this,
would turn cur government into something
besides Republic. If the Constitution Of
1868, cannot be changed in the right of suf
frage, then no State can change its organic
law, for when South Carolina was admitted
to the Uoion, she stood on the same footing
with all other States The United States
Constitution cannot be made to apply 10 one
State and not to another. From this We see
the people haYe the right to make the laws,
to suit themselves change their constitution
as often as they please. The only restriction
imposed is that such laws must not conflict
With the general instrument of the nation.
There may be some parts of the suffrage ques-
ton, n our present State Constitution, that
may not be strictly Constitutional, viz: the
understanding clause, but in 80 far as the
rest is concerned, if ou: Republican friends
think they Gao abolish it under the recon-
struction acts, they should take their case
speedily to the Usited States Supreme Court
for its decision on it. 1t will then be amus-
ing to see that they will ''go up like rocket
and come down like stick

and it was held that the low rate of

Tor the loss in price paid at the time
OF SAFE. However, until something de-
mite is announced by the board of ex-
amlnerS, which is a. bond commission
created for the purpose by the legis-
lature, there will be a lack of con-
ndence among spectators and holders
OF state paper.
There is great deal of dissatisfac-
ton over the h:ll which provided that
no warrants Or scrip shall be taken
Tor taxes 1t puts men who have
served on juries in a peculiar position
rake for instance the jury which has
Just been discharged here. They were
all paid in scrip and have plenty of it.
Scalpers who are usually ready to
take the stuff at a small discount will
not look at it for anything over fifty
cents on the dollar and il is slow sale
at that figure. The state auditor will
not issue warrants for it until he has
mad some instructions upon the mat
ter and there the question stands. The
county attorney has had a few words
to say upon this point, but his opinions
are not counted as very heavy, so the
several Jurymen are holding on in
hopes something will develop soon.
The attorney will be asked
for an opinion upon this point in few
days and after he has submitted the
same it is likely that the jurors will
receive warrants. The law passed de-
clares that all Jurors fees shall be paid
out of the treasury Of the state, so it
would seem that all a man who holds
jury scrip would have to do would be
TO present the same and receive a GER
tificate of Indebtedness.
