In another column we publish a letter
written by one of the stsuncbest radicals 1
in the state, an earnest worker in the 1
last election for the present state govern- ?
iuent. In placing the blame of the ex- f
travagances Doted upon the legislature 1
is doubtless right. But we think that f
an administration earnestly desirous of 1
reform could exercise a vast influence (
upon the members. But like all other 1
habits example is contagions and the *
recklessness of one branch of the government
has produced its effect on all the
others.

A Hard Times Lesson. e
(j
The money stringency all over the
country has had the effect of setting some
of the more thoughtful to philosophising.
Some one has written that the waste of j*
one American would support two French ^
families. Certa:n it is that in small matter#
we everywhere see that Americans ^
are wasteful. Doubtless the present
panic will cause a great many to reform *
in this regard. Poor * 'PaV'bills at the
dry goods and millinery establishments
will be materially curtailed, even if Miss
Blue-blood cannot out do Miss Shoddy in 8
the matter of exhibiting fine dresses during
sermon time. Some of these girls? ?
and for that matter many who are not
girls?should wander back a hundred *
years, and see how our old respectable 1
grand-parents used to do, when every- *
thing in the way of clothing cost much 0
less than at this time. A few lessons 0

The Best Way,
The New York Financier, in discuss- f
ing the South Carolina debt, comes to ?
about the conclusion as that expressed _j
several weeks ago in the Commercial
viz: that the scaling scheme open to the 0
objection that a state which refuses to n
keep the old contract will probably break n
the new one. and therefore the new bonds t
will be worth in the market no more than q
the old ones. Scaling is after all, only a j
milder form of repudation. If there are g
nV illegal bonds, let it be demonstrated before
a court It is a question of law and a
fact which the legislature cannot decide, jj
We agrep with the conclusions of the a
following paragraph from the Fidancier. a
There mav be a eradual relief from ?i
the burden ot debt; the burden of repudiation
lasts as long as written records. 0
Propositions tor "scaling" have already o
been made in the South Carolina Legislature,
but while wo are bound to say 8(
again that if any of the Southern Stntcs
do openly throw off the worst of their c
debt they are morally entitled to a leni- e
ent judgment under the circumstances- a
our conviction still is that their best in- ]c
terests forbid it. For South Carolina, ?
the wiser course may be to cultivate her '
resources, continue to owe what she can- T
not pay, redoce ber expenditures to the tl
lowest, and wait for immigration and
prosperity. ^
__ C
Sewing machines have made, and
ruined many a man. The last case of tj
ruin in this line is that of Ely T. Blake d
President ot the mercantile National d
Bank of New York. This time however, d
it was a steel sewing machine, and the g
money he stole is said to have been ad- $
vanced to the Domestic Sewing machine n
company. Failure from over confidence b
?- ' in Domestic Sewine machines is a thine
that occurs but few times in many moons. w
Such scruples seldom betray auy man's C)
peace. . t|
A Plucky Ship Master. ^
On the 23d of October Capt. Obed 0
Baxter, of South Dennis, of the bnrkentine
New England, stepped into the of- n
fioe of the consignee of his cargo five c<
thousand bags of coffee, from llio Janei- a
ro, and announced that his vessel was at
the wharf. He had taken no steam, but
sailed over the bar and up the river, and a
of course, as usual on sucn occasions, his
vessel was not telegraphed from the Ba* tl
lire (the tow bout couipauy and the Ba- ?
lize telegraph working together, and no
vfsspls bfino- renortnd excent those that
take rteaui). He saved some seven bun- It
dml dollars by tbu course pursued. The tl
ship Adouia, Davis master, from Liver- ?
pool, with stilt, also sailed up at the same ,,,
time aud save! a larger amount.?New
Orleans paper. 11
Such items as this show better than
columns of description the advantages of
ours over other southern ports. This
twelve foot schooner could have sailed into
hall a dozen creeks and plantation
landings on our bay. The largest ship j
that floats the ocean can sail to her dock
in Port Royal without ruuning any ri.-k

open is a technical assault, as it involves

THE TREASty&EB* BEPOKT.
o the Editor of the Commercial:
Columbia, Nov. 21,1873.
The present legislature came into pow
r with many promises of retrenchment
nd reform. We bare no donbt but that
he prominent members of it were sure
hat under no circumstances need they
ear making so bad a record as those just
eing relegated to private life. There
rere doubtless struggles made to take
ome step in the path of reform. How
ar these struggles resulted In good to
he tax payers we are trying to discover
wm the treasurer's report.
In the first place taxes were last year
hree mills more than any year of the
irevious administration and were five
nills more than the average yearly tax
evy under the Scott regime.
Without comment, let me note a few
if the items of expense reported by the
iresent treasurer.
Printiug paid for, $364,417.92; printng
claims due and unpaid; $100,589.63;
otal for printing for one year $465,006.i3.
Besides this amount appropriation
lave just been passed, $75,000 for an
mmigration report; 25,000 for books for
he collection of taxas; $25,000 for print*
ng decisions of the supreme court; $50,KX)
for the printing of the extra session;
otal for printing up to the present time,
(640,006.92.
Next take the legislative expenses for
872-73. Amount paid, $259,981.30;
lueand unpaid, $1,861; total, $260,842.10.
Besides this a bill has been presentid
for appropriating ^$100,000 more for
leficiencies of the legislature, which it is
aid does not nearly cover the amount of
ertificates out for that session. It is
afe, however, to assume that the $100,>00
is out in some shape or it would not
>e demanded. Thus we may put the
>rinting paid, unpaid and ordered at
1640,005.92. aud the legislative expenses
>aid,and unpaid, at 9360,842.30; a grand
otal of $1,000,849.22. This sum is
learly equal to tlie whole amount collect
>y taxation in the last year of Scott's
idministration.
The receipts by the state treasurer are
eportcd at 81,719,728.37; all of which
tas been disbursed according to approbations,
nnd there remains due and
inpaid for want of funds under approbations,
$829,527.27; a total expense
" as a l? it. ? a. ? ..1
if ?li,&4y,ZOO.O'i lor me urst uscai year
if this administration. '
Id this immeose amount it will be oberved
that there are only two items for
aterest. One of them is for $7,672 paid
n the agricultural college bonds, and
he other is a somewhat mysterious item
f $4,440 payment of interest on land
omurission bonds; a total payment of inerest
of only $12,112. There was also
aid of deficiencies of previous year $90,15
for schools; $21,898.30 for legislative
xpenses of 1870-71-72. The total exlense
then of this first year of the reorined
republican party of South Caroliia,
making the above deductions, is $2,14,971.
In 1868 the legislature spent $130,000
n itself, and the state tax was 7} mills;
ow it spend $360,842 and the tax is 12
dills. The extravagance of 1868, caused
he organization of the ku kiux klan.
Jan we afford now to say with Boss
'weed to the people "what are you
oing to do about it."
The state of Ohio collects a state tax
mounting to over twenty millions of doltrs
or more than ten times our highest
mount, and yet the legislative expenses
re set down ar no more than one-tenth
hat which ours costs. The proportion
f expenditure to means is a hundred to
ne against us.
Each vear these two drains upon the
tnte have become more and more. It
in be shown that the paid and unpaid
xpenses of the legislature And the paid
nd unpaid printing claims have swal>wed
up nearly the whole amount raised
om taxation during the past five years,
he other expenses had to be met by
he sale of bonds.
Now no administration ought to be
eld entirely responsible for this. Mr.
.'ardozo cannot in justice be blamed for
aving paid out money on appropriaons.
lie is an executive officer, and
oes as he is ordered. Governor Moses
id not contract these printing bills, nor
id he hire all the employees whose wa*
es go to swell the enormous sum of
300,843, for legislative exposes. He
lay be blamed for not vetoing the bills,
ut it is certain that if he had done so it
ould have been ineffectual, so that he
uuld have beateu his enemies aud
joled his Jfricnds, without benefiting
be state. The other state officers formig
what is called the administration
avc even less to do with this particular
xtravagance. So that it 6eems clear that
o administration, not the purest in the
mntry, unless backed up by an honest
nd economical legislature, could have
revented the state of things shown
bove.
Let the people cease then talking about
Pnliirnhia rimr. Reform should be
in with the people at home. Let them
;nd good, honest intelligent men to the
gislature and it will be better than if
?ey elected the purest man and the
reatcst statesman in the country to be
overnor and had secured for treasurer
ic safest financier of the world.

A CABD.
Beaufort, S. C-, Nov. 11, 1873.
0 the Editor of the Commercial:
At considerable talk ba3 arisen in the
>wn of Beaufort, in consequence of my
jrnoval as engrossing clerk of the sente,
and as au erroueous statement has
cen circulated by the senator of this
>unty, as to the cause of such removal,
ask, in order to set the matter in ite
ue light before the public, a small spate
1 your issue, for a plain statement of
eta.
The senator alleges that at the last
fssion of the legislature I employed a
young man named Harrison Logan, to do
some writing for me, for which I agreed
to pay him two hundred dollars, and that
I drew the money and ran away without
paying him a cent.
The facts of the case are:-I hired
Harrison Logan at two dollars per day.
He worked forty days, for which I placed
eighty dollars into the hands of the secI
rotary of state to be paid by him to Lo[
gan. The secretary would confer a favor
by answering as to the truth of the mat*
ter herein contained.
A. C. Sammis.
Port Moyal Navy Yard.
In the Senate on Tuesday, Nov. 25,
Senator Smalls, of Beaufort, introduced
the following important resolution, pertaining
to the establishment of a navy
yard at Port Royal:
While the General Assembly of the
State of South Carolina would avoid all
interference with the action of the Federal
government in its foreign relations,
ana, in common with the whole country,
rely with entire confidence upon the
quiet resolution of the President to
maintain the honor and interests of the
nation, yet the critical condition of our
foreign relations rendering war a possibility
makes it not inappropriate in this
Genera] Assembly to express an opinion
upou II puuuy WIIIUii euvu a nai luigut
render necessary for the protection of
the South ; therefore be it
RaolveA, That in the opinion of this 1
General Assembly the oondition of the 1
country makes it a matter of urgent (
importance that a navy yard be establish*
ed at some convenient and fit point upon '
the south Atlantic ooast, and that in '
their opinion the harbor of Port Royal
is eminently suited as the location for 1
such navy yard.
Resolved, Thafras the establishment of
a naval depot at such a point would ren- '
der it important in peace and essential 1
in war to maintain certain and speedy (
connection with the interior, especially
with the great supply producing section
of the West, it would be, in the opinion '
of this General Assembly, a wise and
patriotic policy on the part of the national
government to aid, either by subscription,
guarantee of bonds or grant of
public lands, and railroad enterprise
which would connect directly the south
Atlantic coast from ^ Wilmington to 1
Brunswick with the West at Chicago, <
Cincinnati, Louisville or Toledo.
Resolved, That in aiding and encouraging
such an enterprise and establishing
such naval depot, the national govern- j
ment would be contributing in a practical
and constitutional manner to relieve the '
menetary distress and the want of occu- (
pation for honest industry which are now
affecting the South in common with the
whole country.
Resolved, That our senators and representatives
in Coneress be reauestea to
countenance and aid the State in securing
these important objects.
Resolved, That be appointed a
committee to memorialize Congress upon
this subject, and that his Excellency the
Governor be requested to lend any aid
jn his power to promote the object of
these resolutions.
The Peace Settlement. i
Washington, Nov. 29.
The negotiations between the United
^States and Spain, with regard to the
questions growing out of the capture of
the Virginius, were brought to a conclusion
to day, Secretary-Fish and Admiral
Polo having agreed upon and signed a
protocol, which the latter soon afler tel- i
egraphed to his government. As con- i
Aiding statements have appeared in the <
newspapers regaining the intelligence received
last night and also to-day, it ca i
now be positively stated that the terms
are substantially as follows:
First: The immediate delivery to the
United States of the ship Virginius and
all the surviving passengers and crew.
Second A salute to our Aag on the
25th of December next unless in the
^meantime Spain shall satisfy the United
States that the American Aag was improperly
borne on that vessel; and further,
that she had no right to the American
Aag or American papers. In this i
event the salute is to be spontaneously
withdrawn, and Spain is formally to dis i
claim anv intentional indignity to the
Aag in the acts committed bv Spain
against the Virginius.
Third: If it shall thus be shown that
the Virginius had no right to cavry the 1
American tag and papers, the United '
States will institute proceedings agninst '
the vessel and the surviving parties who
have violated the laws of the United 1
States; and Spain guarantees to institute
proceedings against any of her authorities
who may have violated either law or
treaty stipulations.
Fourth: The matter of reclamations
for damages is reserved for future consideration.
It is not believed that the Cuban
authorities will surrender the Virginus.

Ilaon itaada alone aa the ealy Light

ste powar in drawing the shuttle back after the
oh ia formed, bringing double wear and strain
in both machine and operator, hence while other
chines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler Si W11n
lasts a lifetime, and proves an economical
restment Do not believe all that is ^promised by
i "Cheap" machines, you should require proof that ^
trs of use have tested their value. Money once
