SOMETHING WE WANT TO SEE. * * Wo have received the report of the supervisor of the public printing of the state or i/nio, tnaoe w toe m>?eruui, and sent in with his message to the legislature in 1873. It may be well to state that since the organization of the state in 1868 to the pr?eenttime, no report in detail of the enormous amounts of printing paid for by this state has ever been m ide public. From the very beginning it has been a very leech upon the state treasury, bnt we only know its enormity by the gross amounts appropriated. A document similar to this Ohio report is some thing we would greatly like to see. The materials for its preparation roust be in existence somewhere. Mr. Gardozo could help us to it if he chose. He pays the printing bills and must have the vouchers. A comparison between the two states of Ohio and South Carolina will be of use in contemplating the disparity between their printing bills?Ours between three and four hundred thousand a year and hers less than sixtythree thousand. We give a few figures from the last census: Population of Ohio, 2,695,260 Qrt r>. 7nA Kflfi JL upuiamvu v? irv. vw,w? Wealth of Ohio, $1.167,73i,697 Wealth of So. Ca. $183,913,337 Ohio having nearly live times as many people as this state and being over eight times as able to pay. Tet Ohio gets all the printing needed for her 2,695,260 citizens for less than sixty-three thousand dollars, while the 705,606 people of Sooth Carolina pay nearly four hundred thousand dollars per year into the hands of the Republican Printing Company.

Oue of the paragraphs of Gov. Moh< s' mtssage which we could heartily assent to was that in which he commends the course of Dr. Eosor, as superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum. We visited the asylum in 1866, just after the close of the war, and aft? r making due allowance for the long p> riod of distress through which the state had passed, we could n >t refrain from expressing surpiise at the squalid, comfortless and careless appearance of everything connected with the institu won. The rooms were little better than duugcous, so far as comfort was concerned. There were no conveniences for fires for warmth; the only bath room a filthy place .under on archway; all the patients were herded together at meals; iu fact, there wasa aad want of care, aud a negrectot the commonest provisions for the health and com fort of the inmates. We did not again see the establishment until a few months ago. Everything in tha meantime had been bettered. Hot and cold water was conveniently at hand on every floor?it bad previously to be carried over the ^ eotire asylum in backets. Each ward j1 kad its own dining room. Bath rooms a ntmmOUu- IHf mm m 11 MM* I were also found in each ward. But c best of all, the building was heated bj s hot air registers from top to bottom, t The place, too, was scrupulously clean h and neat, and the poor inmates looked happier and heartier for the change. o All this great improvement is the v work of the superintendent while la- b boring under difficulties which would a have disheartened a less energetic n man. For his report plainly shows o that the institution has suffered great- a ly for lack of the funds which it had b every right to demand from the treas- b ury. The truth is the inmates could 1 not vote, and they were left in the lurch. While there is money found to r pay fraudulent printing bills in ad- I vance, uone can be bad to pay appro- t priations for such sacred charities. 1 Dr. Eortor paints vividly the embar- t rassments, mortifications and sacrifices 1 suffered in keeping the asylnm open, a The institution is now in debt to the t amount of sixty thousand dollars. This c debt ought to be paid off at once and the appropriation for the support of the asylnm for the current year should be liberal and shonld be promptly paid. ^ **" * i?- A ? ?Krttif fVio TDe Liunauc Asyiuui 10 ouuu? >?v only one of the state institutions which have been creditably managed by the republican party and we think the legislature and the treasurer should do what they can to foster it. The Taxpayer's Convention. The president and the executive com- ( roittee of the Taxpayers' convention have i unanimously resolved that the conven- i tion shall reassemble in Columbia, on 1 Tuesday, February 17, the day prior to that on which the State Grange of the 1 Patrons of Husbandry will meet at the i same place. The taxpayers in the several J counties are requested to assemble in public meeting on the first Monday in j February and elect as many delegates to 1 the convention as their counties have j members of the more numerous branch of the General Assembly. This, with < the former delegations, will give a con- i vention of nearly two hundred members, ] amongst whom will be found, we hope, ! trustly representatives of all the taxpay- , ing classes. < INFORMATION I For those having claims against the i United States. < We have already mentioned in our j paper some days ago, that Mr. J. P. M , i v.nniniT nf (I-mhninvillp. S. C.. had been < "I'K'-H . ? - appointed a Bpecial commissioner of claims for this state. Not knowing the exact nature of his mission, and being anxious to lay all useful information before the public, we instructed our reporter to see him and try to obtain from him the wi.hington. These two bodies have quite distinct and different functions. The court of claims has jurisdiction over property taken from loyal citizens by government officers and by them turned over to the Treasury of the U. S. This property, consisting principally of cotton, having been sold the proceeds were paid into the Treasury. The judge* ment of the court of claims, up to a certain amount, are, by provision of sntne, paid upon presentation by the treasury department; for larger amounts the sanction of Congress must first be obtained. The duty of the commissioner of claims is to take cognizance of and investigate all claims for stores and supplies furnished or taken during the war for the use of the Army and Navy, including the use and loss of vessels or boats while employed in the military or naval service of the United States. Awards by the commissioner of claims are not paid by the treasury department however until Congress makes an appropriation for the amounts so awarded, (which is done annually) and then the treasury pays the different claimants. All stores and supplies furnished or 1 taken for the use of the Array or Navy j may l?e included in the claims to be pre- j sented to the commissioner of claims at ( Washington, but no claims are allowed t for theft or pillage by soldiers. All legimate claims of citizens, wh > t remained loyal adherents of the govern- 1 c merit of the United States during the ? war will be allowed, but it is for the 1 claimants to prove their loyalty. Loyalty ? is a fact to be proved. Claims are uot i unfrequently disallowed, not because c there is r>o-itive proof of disloyalty, but 1 because the proof of loyalty is not satisfactory. t No claims are received or recognized f for damage, destruction and loss of prop- 1 erty, nor for rent or occupation ot build- t ings grounds or other real estate. 8 Houses, mules, cattle, hogs, wagons, corn or other grain, hay and fodder, ^ meat or bacon, rails, fencing and stand- c ing timber used for fuel or for other t purposes, fields of grass or growing crips i: used for forage, cotton used for hospital beds, and the materials of buildings ? thrown down, if such materials are ap- j plied to military uses, fall within the a ' term "stores and supplies" and testi- ? monv will be taken to prove the appro- ,] priatiou or use; but .articles of luxury, y ! wines. liquors and cotton, (unless taken It for hospital stores) are not included in P the t riu "stores and supplies" for the j use of the Army and Navy. They will g not be flowed and should not be em- tl braced! iV* cTanme, 81 Alf claims under $5000 which are to J'j l?e brought before a special commissioner gl luusr be submitted in the first instance u to the commissioner of claims in Wash- & ington. to be docketed and uumbered. 'J When this is done and the number ^ ascertained, an application, (on a blank d< which will be fUrnished by the special ai omniissioner) nmst be made to the said < pecial commissioner, to have testimony \ aken by him and time and place of tearing arranged with hira. , Claimants whose claims amount to < ver SoOOO uud not more tbau 310,000, rho desire to have their testimony taken J >y a special commissioner, must make n application to that effect to the comaissioner of claims in Washington to btain leave. Claimants whose claims re over $10,000. are compelled bylaw to ring their proof and their witnesses efore the commissioner of claims at Yashington. Mr. Epping further informed onr eporter that Col. Parmele of Columbia tad also been appointed a special comuissioner, and although the appoint* nent of each ran throughout the state, hey would not interfere with each other >y encroaching on what may be regarded is their natural territorial jurisdiction, here being more than work enough for :ach one in his own section. rfrrnr nnAcrrn a nro omtrv 99 "inn rnvijinAiii oiAibtlenry Ward Beochcr on the State of Sonth Carolina?The Trne Remedy for Her Condition?A Rally of Honest Men of All Colors Against Scoundrels of All Colors. [From the Christian Union] It would bo hard to find in the history >f modern nations a uiore saddening or lisgustful picture of the wreck and desoatiou of society than is presented at this moment in South Carolina; and tbeoonlition of South Carolina, we suppose, while perhaps more picturesquely miserable, is but a type of the social wretchedness and political shame which attach to the other States of the far South. These ire facts whieh concern not alone the States immediately immersed in this civic chaos. The nation is a partnership in liseases and disgraces as well as in bone5ts ; with the suffering of ono member ill the members suffer, and whatever is i blot upon Texas or Georgia stains through to Maine. The time has fully irrived when all citizens who do not believe that "our political system can atand inythitig and defy anything," should eondescend to cast some serious glances jpon the hapless circumstances of our friends aud brethren of the Southern States. Of this we rnav be sure, that the present apathy of Northern people jpon this subject is largely conditioned )n their igDorauce of the real state of the ease ; ana the difficulty with us has been that we could not all go to the South to :o see for ourselves, arid that we could not thoroughly confide in the testimony >f those who did go. It is greatly to be lesired that somo Northern men of real ability and of unquestionable repute imong us could pass through the Southern lands and study the actual situation, lud report to us in terms which we could iltogether trust. From this point of view, we deem it in event to be particularly mentioned that one such citizen, Mr. James S. Pike, ui old abolitionist, a journalist of high landing, and, by appointment of Presiient Lincoln, late Minister of the United States at the Hague, took the trouble to go to South Carolina during the last tession of its Legislature, and to spend :wo months at its capital in the study of men and things. lie has now made his eport, and has embodied it in a little [took, lust issued by the Appletons, and tearing the gloomy title that stands at [he head of this article. The book is eo -inb 11 that it can be read in an evening, jut it is large CMWgh to give to every \mericau anxiou^eflcction for many a lav. # # Mr. Pike finds society in South Caroli1a "bottom side up." The people of jharactcr and culture, who, in a normal md righteous state of affairs, would give lirection and tone to public proceedings, ire trampled under foot by a host of roting barbarians?"the most ignorant lemocracy that mankind ever saw"? "the dregs of the population habilitated in the robes of their intelligent predecesiors, and asserting over them the rule of ignorance and corruption through the inexorable machinery of a majority of number." Carpet-hag rule is at an end . in South Carolina, for the carpet-baggers were, on the outside at least, white men. Even negroes tainted with white blood, md so unfortunate as to have the noble blackness of the ancestral complexion lebilitated into some shade of yellow, ire beginning to feel the contemptuous lutagonism of the unmixed African, who means to have things all his own way [here. By sheer force of superior numbers the iimnroninnd unnrineipled classes have taken complete possesion of the government of tnc State. And what wrt of a government have they formed? \ccordiug to the testimony of Mr. Pike, ;hc rule of South Carolina "should not jc dignified with the name of a government. It is the installation of a huge lystcm of brigandage. The men wno lave had it in control, are the picked illains of the community. Thev are the tighwaymeti of the State, tfhey are - i i Li rr\ jruii-.iMuiiiti it'gisiauve ruooera. 1 ucv ire uien who have studied and practiced he art of legalized theft. They are in Io sense different from, or better than, he ujen who fill the prisons and peniteniarics of the world. They are, in fact, >" precisely that class, only wore daring md audacious. The sole, base object is o gorge the individual with public plu"ler. Having done it, they turn around ind buy immunity for their acts by sharny their gains with the ignorant, pauprized, besotted crowd who have chosen hem to the stations they fill, and which snable them thus toiob and plunder." If it be asked how the corruptions of he South Carolina government differ rom the exceptional venality of certain Northern Legislatures, this is Mr. Pike's nswer: The latter, while less in effroncry and in degree than the former, and pringing from different causes, can also 'be promptly remedied by exposure and ?y an appeal to the intelligence and irtueofthe constituency; in the other ase. there is no sneh tribunal to appeal o. It is a moral morass, in which there 1 s neither standing nor holding ground."

The impression made npon trs by Mr. ike's report concerning the prostrate \ Itate iR that nothing can sate society be-.e frjwr ntt r dissolution bnt the perdv avheveuient of rule by the class- 1 s who onght always to rule. We regret ( iat Mr. Pike, in announcing an opinion abstantially the same a? this, seems to s to imply that these classes can be i scertained by color. We know that lis cannot be his real meaning, but the >roe and value of his book are likely to e abated by a certain indiscriminate enunoiation of black men because they f, re black, and an equally indiscriminate i > c-\ ;oiuir.fudation of white men beeau.se they are white. What in wanted to save Somth Carolina is not a rally of white people against black people; hot of honest men of all colore against scoundrels of all colors. We must not despir of the Republic, even though that Republic be 8outh Carolina, and even though it have become a den of thieves. And the specific advice which Mr. Pike gives as a suggestion of remedy to the poop e of that state is in the main wise and good. He advises them to hold on to the faith that the State can be redeemed; to make a systematic effort to attract foreign immigration to the State; to get rid of their hereditary prejudices against strangers, and of their old-time intolerance of opposing opinions. It is not a war of races or of colors that should be brought or: bu a calm; resolute, patient increase ana combination of the forces of good in society against the forces of e i'. Society needs to be turned right side up; and in this effort letall men help who can, whatever be their color. The Withdrawal of Williams. The president* on the 8th iust, with drew the nomination of George H. Wi I iams for chief justice of the supreme oourt. Mr. Williams requested the president to do so in a letter which is published, in which he Bays: "Since my nomination the floodgates of calumny have been opened upon me; my abilities hare been disparaged; my integrity brought in question, and a public opinion advene to my appointmeat has been created, which might hereafter embarrass your administration, and perhaps impair my usefulness on the bench." He is confident that a just public, when better informed, will vindicate him from all the charges against him. ST M. WALLACE, Cotton Factor AND GRIST MILLER.
