"THE WOES OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Convention of the Taxpayers of the State at Columbia. The Solid Men in Council With- out Regard to Politics. CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES REBUKED, Investigation Into the Financial Condition of the State. CoLvusra, May 9, 1871, To-day I stood in the Senate chamber of the State and witnessed a sight which has not had tts hke in South Carolina since the guns were fired on Suuter, ten years ago. THE TAXPAYERS! CONVENTION met at eleven o’clock this morning to take measnres as to what was necessary w place the credit of South Carolina on a firm basis ana so pierce the mass of corruption and robbery which has shrouded the State ever since 18¢3. The Senate chamber was chosen by the Convention as being the most fitting place to hold its sesslon, for the reason that the House of Representatives is so gorgeously fitted Up that a man could not sit down tn it without feel- ing that THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE NAD BEEN ROBBED to gratify the pocketbooks of a score or so of scoun- dre's, who have had high revel, while the decent people have been despoiled in their fancied security. The galleries = were full at an early hour, and the greatest interest was manifested in the delegates as ‘they entered and took their seats in twos and threes, Fifty-one delegates were present, and twenty-six counties out of the thirty-two were represented, A majority of the delegates had served in the Con- federate army, and a bystander said to me thatit woked like A MEETING OF LONGSTREET’S CORPS. J. Goodwyn, of Orangeburg, acted as temporary chairman. During the prelimmary proceedings it Was evident that the Convention was divided into two parties, representing the salt water clement, from the lower or Atlantic coast, called tne rice eaters, and the up country people, who are sup- Posed to approve of the Ku Klux organization. | This section is called the crawilsh region, and its leaders im the Convention were Major General M. W. Gary and Major General M. C. Butler. ‘fhe more moderate wing of the Convention had for its leaders General James Chesnut, ex-Lieutenant Governor W. D. Porter and Colonel Richard Lathers, After some umusing sparring between General Butler and Coiouel T. Y. Simmons, of the Charies- ton Courier, Colonel B, W. Ball, of Laurens county! Moved tiat a committee be appointed to report officers of the Convention, and an amendment was | offered to proceed to a ballot tor oMcers, which | Was adopted, General Chesnut, having de- { clined the nomination of Chairman, nom | nated W. D. Porter, of Charleston, for | permanent President, General M.C. Butler then | nominated General M. W. 'y for tne same ofice. | General Gary, who 18 the oviy general officer of the | confederacy Who did not surrender at the close ot | the rebeilion—by the way, the General is a Harvard | duate of 1854 and fills the place in Souih Caro. | ina vacated by General Wade Ha:mpton—spoke as follows:— Iam here, not as.an aspirant for any office within the gict of this Convention, but as a representative of the people of Edge Since the results of the war have been so disas- {rous to us I must con‘ess that, whatever ambition I mivht have had previous to that time, I have none now. 1 aim, therefore, unwiliing that by the use of iny name the harmony of this Convention ‘should be disturbed. 1 do think, nt me Iike the present, when we are oppressed, we shi ta united front. We should have no diife be- een us. Actuated by these feelings I must deciine the momination. (Applause.) | The following ofiicers were then declared duly | elected in the permanent organization:— #residen'—W. D Porter, moderate, of Charleston, Vice rresidenis—M. C. Butler, ex-Confederate, of Edgefield; 0. W. Dudiey, Union man, of Mariboro; D. H. Chamberlain, repubitean, of iichlana; Gabriet Cannon, of Sparta burg, conservauve, ‘Myron H. Fox, radical, of the Charleston Repuhli- can, and W. M. Conners, conservative, of Lancaster, Secretaries. Rules were introduced for the government of the Sn by ex-Senator Chestnut, which were lopted. President, Judge Porter, of Charleston, upon taking the chair, said subsiantially:— GENTLEMEN OF THE ConveNTION -Ithaak you for the honor conferred upon me.

GOVERNOR SCOTT'S ORGAN here—the Columbia Union—cemes out for reform and retrenchment, and speaks sharply of the mulu- plicity of ofice-hoiders in the State as tollows:— This is the question which the Convention must consider, The State expenses are entirely too high, and should be cut down to the lowest possible point. We have too many ofll- ger and pay too high salaries for the amount of labor per. formed, It js in this way that the tax money is expended, jot in the direction which many people seem to think, ce, the offices of County Treasurer, County. U School Commissioners. ‘Tho salary for the former is now $2,500 per annum, which, in’ our judgment, {n$1,000 too mach. ‘The County Commissioners generally estimate 31,500 for salaries, which 1s at least $1,000 too high, and the Schoel Commissioners draw a salary’ of te1,000° cach, and. this we believe is $750 more than they Ought to have. Now, to sum up, we tind thirty-one County ‘Treasurers. Cut these down $1,000 en, would save 31,00; Boards ot County Commissioners, thirty-one counties, $31,000 more, and thirty-one School Commissioners, ®23,250—or a fand total of $35,260. Nor is thie all, |The expenses of tho ‘gisiature should be cut down ove-half at least, which Would effect another saving of not leas than $125,000 more, or upwards of $210,000 on these items alone.

Boston, May 8, 1871, The annual gatherings and reunions of the vete- rans of the various armies of the Unton which are to take place in this city during the ensuing few days will afford a busy and interesting week for the “Hub.” Already there are @ large number of old soldiers and officers in the city, and the series of events altogether promise to be made illustrious by the presence of more chieftains of the nation’s de- fenders than have been gathered together at any single time since the winding up of the rebellion. ‘The meeting of the Society of the Army of the e, for ins!

WASHINGTON, May 9, 1871, The Treaty with England, The Treaty of Washington, an outline of which ‘appears im thts morning’s papers, meets with gen eral approval. Gentiemen in high oficial position feel confident, from their information thus far, that it will be ratifiea by the Senate. As the members of the Committee on Foreign Relations have been fur- nished in confidence with copies of the treaty, and therefore have had ample opportumty to examine and study all its features, it is thought that it will be promptly reported back from that committee with a favorable recommendation that it be ratified. Tn anticipation of this event Minister Schenck and the British Commissioners have taken passage for Europe m the steamer of the 24th. They will, at all events, remain in this country until 9 determination shall be reached on une subject. Cabinet Meeting. The President having returned to Washington in @ late train last night, a Cabinet meeting was held to-day, all the members being present excepting Secretaries Robeson and Belknap.

There was to ve an armistice to-day between the contending forces at Neullly, in order to give the in- habitants an opportunity to quit the cellars in which they have been living for the Jast ten days and seck safer quarters else- where. As I informed you in a previous letter, Many of the inhabitants had siguca a petition to that effect, to be sent to the generals in commana, and this armistice was supposed to be the result. It was to commence at noon, and I went out to Neuilly in the expectation of seeing the streets full of turniture wagons and the people all bustle and confusion, as they naturally would be, with just twelve hours to move ont of a bombarded town and find homes somewhere else. Arriving upon the Boulevard Bineau at just one o'clock 1 was considerably astonished, therefore, upon hearing the report of @ cannon in the direction of Courbevvie, and a full volley in answer to 1t trom the Maillot Gate and the Gate des Ternes, My astonishment was the greater as it was announced tn the Journat Oficiel vaat there would be a cessation of hostilities to-day, commencing at twelve o’cluck. Whatever may be the reason, THERE WAS NO CESSATION OF HOSTILITIES, as far as I could see, unless an interchange of shot and shell at the rate of about thirty @ migute could be cailed by that name, Mont Valérien was firing upon Sevailois-Perret about two shots a minute; there was a pretty lively skirmishing uwbout Puteaux with rifles and mitrailleuses, and the two gates, Maillos and Ternes, were throwing avout tlfteen shells per min- ute upon the battery at the Rondpoint of Courbe- vole, Which was throwing about tie same number in return. Decidedly, this did not look like an arnis- tice. WHAT WAS SEEN FROM A FIFTIC STORY. I went up to the fifth story of a house on tie Bou- levard Bineau, not far from the Ternes Gate, from which I had a good view of what was going on. The old story. Tats senseless artillery firing 1s to go on, I suppose, untul one party or the other eXhausis its munitions, at present the only probable solution of the —diffleulty. They w firing at cach ower without the slightest possiple reason, as far as 1 can see, Neither party 1s attacking, and no one sertousiy supposes for a Moment that either the one or the other hopes for a moment to dislodge the enemy or Silence his guns. As they can have uo particular ob- ject, then, in shooting at cach other they must do It out of pure Viclousn Ye SHELLS ofthe Versailles gans very seldom did any execu- ton, unless, indeed, when they fell on some house up near the Are de Triomphe, and killed some help- active enough to get out of tueir way. A good many fell outside the walls upon the glacis, where they exploded without doing any further harm than throwing up tne earth a tittle, Ochers fell tuside the ramparts, but not close enough to the guuners to do any harm, and during the whole ttme 1 watched them (nearly Uree hours) not & single gunuer had been touched, By fat tne greater part or the shells thrown by the Gourbevole battery fell farup the Aveuue de la Grand Armée, some going over tie Are de Triomphe a and crushing Mite une houses on the Coaups ‘es. ey bly WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

Owing to the number of suffering Inhabitants known to be still in Neuilly measures to provide for their reception have become necessary. For this purpose a commission of five members has been named—Oudet, Bergeret, Jonannard, Fortune and Eudes. These will preside over the entry of the in- habitants into Paris, at the same time taking the necessary steps to protect the interests of the de+ fence. But these are not the only persons for whom the government has now to obtain accommodation in the capital. The imbhabitants of the quarters which have been bombarded have been, of course, compellea to abandon their houses, Apartments which have been left vacant in the other portions of the city will be requisitioned for their accommoda- tion, Inventories of the eoperte will be delivered to absentee proprictors. vals Will be placed ou the furniture containing portable objects, Awfal Scenos of Misery and Suffering at Nenilly=The Dead Uabuvied—Women and Idren Crowded Into Cellars tor Safety. ‘The London Temes of the 26tn publishes the fol lowing, bearing date of Paris, the 26th ult. :— The armistice commenced nominally at nine o'eloct; but after that hour, by Paris time, sella were stiil failing hear the Are de Triomphe. ‘This excited great indignation amon; th 4 through Porte Ternes and found i A about, though no breach has been made. ‘The avenue and the adjoihing streets had suffered terribiy.

Now that the hour is near at hand when the ques+ tion as to WHO I8 TO BE GOVERNOR of this mite of a State is to be decided the excite. ment in both political parties nas reached its neight. I mnst confess that at present things look very shaky for the democrats, Their only hope of suc- cess of late was based upon that hundred vote arrangement of the Fourth ward of this city; but the aiidavits of the republicans who voted for Jew- ell in the ward, and whose votes, to all appear- ances, were scooped out of the ballot box since election day, nave shattered even this, their last mainstay, all to pleces. There is no denying the fact that the English party feel very sore, to speak mild- ly, over the plan resorted to by the Legislative Gom- mittee to find just now many persons in the Fourth ward really did think Mr. Jewell the more precious Jewel of the two candidates, and who carried out their predilection at the polls last April by vot- ting for tne man of thetr choice, Of course the democrats have refused to recognize the right of the Legislature to appoint a committee of the character of the one which has been kicking up such a row during the past few days, and declare that the “smelters” have no right to go behind the decision of the oficial canvassers. But doesn't this declaration smack considerably like that of the law- yer who assurea his client, already in trons, under lock and key, that the authorities would not dare to imprison him, and in the long run, I think, it will result in about the same way. Ovor this question of the legality of the action of the Legislature in appointing the committee will be the real fight to-morrow in the Legislature. If the committee declares that Jewell was deprived by fraud of a hundred votes to which he was clearly entitied, and if the party leaders carry out their threats, the fight will not, by any means, end with the decision of the Legislature, Governor Englisi has already intimated that he WILL NOT GIVE UP HIS OFFICE ‘until the courts will have settled the question of the right of the Legislature to do asit has done. His backers know what the plan of the campaign Is and will go it blind, be the consequences what they may. The democrats now, more bitterly than ever, denounce the Interference of the islature In the Fourth ward business a¢ an out- ented in the history of any State of nd, Lunderstand, point, as an argument ision of the Cominittee on the Union, tu their favor, of th Elections to the Ia York Legisi when it had the Carey-Twombly un deration, refused to recognize anybody's right to go behind the canvassers’ report to find out HOW MANY PERSONS VOTED In opinion the least they say about this parttcular case the better. If they have no stronger prece- dent to fail back upon than this their case will be a very weak one indeed, for two wrongs never made a rigie. The action of the committee ia takin, tne ailidavits of persons who claim to hive vote for the republican candidate for Governor, however, does not find favor with all the republicans of the State, as L have heard many of them tn this city de- nounce it is @ dangerous Innovation, And they may not be entirely Wrong in thelr conclusions, In the first place, very few lusiness men, tn the hurry and flurry to get thelr tickets and vote before going to their o..ces or stores, look at them before naving them deposited in the ballot boxes, so long as they get them irom a republican ‘“nolder.”” Certs tainly no one will conteud that among other dodges resorted to by democratic politicians that ot getting their tickets “accidentally” mixed up with those of tae other party, even though the re- publican “holders” are Known to be strict party inen, 18 an impossible one in Connnecticut any more than it is In any other state. And again, how many republicans, Known tobe such among their neighvors, and whe may have voted for a particuiar candidate on the other side, care about confessing thetr party indiaeliey 1m public? During the present Investigation fraud has undoubtedly been discov- ered; but that fact should not be taken, many republicans here think, as an argument in favor of the right of the Legisiature to disregard the decision Of officers appomted lawfully to decile upou the number oi votes cast at every election, One of the great dificnities which are now troubling the demo- crats 18 tlus: Supposing the committee report to throw out the Fourth ward vote and the courts should afterwards decide that the Legislature had NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE in the matter as it has done, what would be the result? Would the canvassers’ decisioa stand good, notwithstanding the fraugs that may have been comultted alter their decision was made? The committee have already taken the afitavits of 6v0 citizens of the ward who swear that they voted ior Jewell. In addition to this five persona | Sigued thelr names to the list of republicans, whe Stated that they had voted for Jewei! In addition to this again cight others who were known to have voted, and who are well known republicans, but Whose attendance could not be procured, make the whoie number of repuvlicans foot ap 573. Of this number tev, the committee learned, scratched Jewoil's name off their tickets. The result is that eighty-four more persons voted for Jewell than the account gave credit for, thus leaving only sixteen out of the hundred “stolen? votes in the Fourth ward w be accounted Jor. If this fact does not show fraud what does it? Itmay ve @ very good democratic argu- ment to say that by using the “needful” means a thousand iore persons could have been secured te | make similar aiidavits: but it amounts to nothing io the face of the fact that every one of the citizens who nave sworn that they voted for Jewell are men who are well known in the Fourth ward as republicans, Mr. English's friends contend that the affidavits will not hold water 4s agalost the record of tae Ward during past years, which, uo matter how low the ress of the tUcket dragged, always gave about a hundred majority for English whenever he ran tor Governor. This 18 a species of Connecticut conundrum that 1as a New Yorker would give up at once was I not aware of the fact that (hts Fourth ward 1s the Keystone of all the wards in the city.

If they decide upon the lormer course they will have to sacritice Kellogg. if the second Englisa is safe, altuougd, if they like, they may 1a the long run sail suieily vetween this Sylia, and Charybdis by throwing out ouly the vote for Governor. At ali events, the vote of the State must be declared to-morro: Either English must ba announced as elected or the Legistature aecide that there has peen no choice by tue people, and then settle the imuatter by choosing the man of thelr own choice. Then, and then only, will begin the struggle for the guvernatorial arm chau, foo.stool aud pen wiper.
