In my editorial control of tho paper | I have eudcavorcd, in my feotdo way, to advanco thoso principles of puro and liberal domocracy, which, in tho lan guago of Jefferson, mean, "equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever st ?to or persuasion.'

In tho matter of Oardoza it seems to be gouerally understood now that both houses will adopt an address to the Gov ernor domnnding the removal of the treasurer, under Article VII, Section 2, of the State Constitution, which is as follows : "For auy wilful neglect of duty, or any other rcasounblo cause, which shall bot bo sufficient ground of impeach mcnt, the Governor sh ? 11 remove any oxecutivo or judicial officer on tho ad dross of two thirds of each House of the General Assembly : Provided, That tho cause or causes for which suidro moval may bo required, shall be stated at length in such address,und entered on tho journals of oaoh House : And provided further, That the officer intend to be removed shall be notified of such cases and nays' als of each IIo This address only' thirds majority of the and the only thing that treasurer is that the Conservatives solidly agaiust the ndd i ess, and this is uot probable, as tho Conservatives seem divided in opiniou. The Great Seumlul. Wo have scldeni smirched our col umus with the proceedings of tho Court iu the IScccher case. But the testimony on tho Tilton side within tho past few days has been of so decisive aud startling a nature we would not be justified in withholding for mor al and merely scutimcntal rcasous a synopsis of tho revelations made. First thoro was the ovidenoo of the nurse Cary, then that of Mrs. Tilton's broth er, aud last that of Mrs. Moulton, wife of "Tho Mutual Friend." Tho first two related what they saw, and their veraci ty must be impeached successfully by the great Plymouth preacher, if ho Htands. The last witness tolls all she knows of the foul business, gained chiof ly through interviews with Kccchcr and Mrs. Tilton. Her story of Uecchor's confession, remorse and despair is a fearful piece of information, whish if uot shown to bo false, will damn tho do fondant in the great trial to infamy aud di8graoo. Tho case of Tiltcn from first to last has been mannged with signal and mat terly ability. The defence likewise has been brilliantly and laboriously conduc ted by the groat lawyer E\uris and his associates. Apart from the legal aspects ol the case as it stands trembling, we may say, on the verge of a decision which may nevertheless bo postponed sumo wooks, still, and aside from tho affair viewed us a gigantic New York sensation, w iat must bo the average suutimout of the intelligent aud disinterested public'( Never was there; profound** disgust, a disgust amounting f, fiausod.

Attornoy ' Ocficral jlulton, in his report to the present Gvijioral :) ssembly , ^speaking (Vf his duties and those of Solicitors, sayV^ "Of late years, lit nas become com iinoii to charge the j^toruey General aud tho Solicitors with dereliction o' du'..y, because of their omission to prose cuto offenders against Uhc law: aud it has come to be rcgardcdjxs part of their duty to discharge thd offices of the detective and prosecutes:, as well as those of the prosoc?:iug attorney.

The Solicitor is expected to contend with the ba[r without the opportunity of preparuti cases without knowledge involved,and with nothing)of tissistauc except tho mere recital pf tho offense contniuod in the warrant of the Trial Justice, always imperfectly and often times erroneously ex proved. In tho administration of justice this has always been a serious impediment, andj espooi all in cases where the vubjeet of the crime cannot take the position of proso cutor, amounts practically ltd a denial of justice. It is tlto du'y of tin good citizen to inform crime in bis com munity, aud touctively op-operate with tho officers of tho law , in bringing offenders to punishment. Hut it is an ungrateful duty, and it is a wise pro j Verb that 'what's everybody's business is nobody's business.' To provide in some sort ngaint this imbodiuiont, the duties of j)tii)lic prosecutor might well be devolved upon omi of the County officers?the Coroner, porha,8 more properly than uuy otlior-j?who should be required to inquire into an 1 present all offens03 iignitist the law], and at each term of the Court attend upon and tiEsifct tho prosecuting attorney.

Centennial of the Gcriuan Fusilier Company. * The German Fusiliors of Charleston, South Carolina, will celebrate their Centennial Anniversary on the third ul May 1875, with ceremonies appropriate to so interesting an occasion. In 1775. one hundred years ago, and bofi re the Dcclarai ion of tndependanoe', tho German citizens of Charleston rail ed to tho standard of American Lj^n/ty. They organized o c< rps for war for freedom and rendered signal service in tho establishment of self government. Their record i.i the Itcvolutionlii'y strudle is a matter of I history. 1 heir services during (hat I memorable contest, under t5euer.il j Lineohi of the Continental army, and J at tho sieges of Savannah and Charles ti n aud on other battle fields are proud testimonials of their patrotisui and do J votiou. The}' sealed their devotion to that cause with the blood and lives of many of their numbers. In SI 12 the German Fusiliers wore again called upon to assist in the de fence of tho coast, and in 183t!, when the bloody tomahawk ol tho scminole drenched tho plains of Florida with the blood of its people, and the cry for succor was again wafted to the shores of Carolina, the German Fusiliers, animated by the spirit of'70, voluti tecred their services and aided iu re deeming tin ir sister State from the ?uthless hand of the savago. The company has through all the vicissitudes and trials of the past ecu ttiry preserved its organization, and is now believed to bo the oldest military organization in the United Slates. As oarjy as 17'J2 they attache! to their military feature, a society for the support of their indigent widows, orphans an 1 destitute members. In this noble cause of-ch'i rity, they have expended huge sums from their own private resources; these havo boon shattered by the calamities of the war. This will be, as is believed, tho first military centennial celebration, in those Uuited State. The Fusiliers desire to crown this centennial, not o ily by giv ing interest and significance to tho oc casion, but also by placing upon a per nlomcut basis, a fund for the relief of the widow.-, and orphans of their deoo is cd members; these objects would indeed be lit aud gratof'ul moinorialj, of this historic occasion. They therefore ap peal with confidence to their fellow citi /.' ns throughout the broad cxpanso of this Union, whose liberties, now enjoy cd, they helped to achieve.
