C. THE KIM* UKUHI A. In another column will be found tbe report of the special committee, James A. Bowley. chairman, appointed to iuvesiigate the refusal of the Republican Printing company t? employ colored pi inters. It appears that the committee enlarged their own powers somewhat and made soma investigations as to h li it the printing coats. We have been roundly abused as false to a lifelong profession of republican priu ciplta because we Lave attacked this giant swindle; our assertions have been denounced us false ; our figures have been sneered at as g*?bicd.a paper has been established to crush us out. All these things we were prepared for. But that a committee of the House should proceed to substantiate every charge of fraud, bribery and extravagance made by the Commercial. was something we were unprepared for. We cannot repress a feeling of exul tation in view of the fact that the COMMERCIAL was the first paper in this siate to point out tbe enormity of this fraudulent business. While tbe conservative papers in almost cvtry county were quieted by a few hundred or a few thousand dollars worth of pap; the Commercial has always presetted its opposition to thp printing swindle. In l?71-72 we print*d the laws, and made out a bill for tin ra amounting to ?1.021 of which we got only Si,200, being obliged to pay the balance to a member of the legislature front this county to get the bill paid. Our necessities compelled us. When the bill for six teen hundred dollars was made we were told to make it out at the same rate as the Beaufort Ton. a, which was $7 021. We could as easily have had that sum as the one we did get, but we would have been thenceforward the "slave of the Ring." We have alluded to this only to show the means taken to silence the press. It has been generally successful. The sentinels of the opposition party have been in the pay of the enemy. What wonder then that the defence of the state has been so teeble, and that the baggage train and provisions have mostly been captured. Another blow has been Struck however, and it Is a telling one. Whether it is an honest effort to beat off the marauders, or whether it is a ruse of pretended retreat, is immaterial. The fig ures are there Admitte d by a republican committee of a republican house. Our efforts hav^ not been in vain. Public ity has been the weapon wherewith ibis sortie has been successful, ajid we appeal to friends of good government to aid us iD continuing thus to bring * - * A- i?- ?n tne power 01 me press iu uv<u ujmu an such wicked, shameless swiudles :ts the Republican Printing Company. $47 4,000? $100,000=$!! 74,000. The above represents an arithmetical showing of the printing swindle. Mr. Woodruff testified, (see report) that he could do ah the printing of the general assembly, with the decisions of the supreme court and executive documents, for $100,000. Mr. Bow ey's figures show that to do this work 817-4 000 has been appropriated. Substruct $100.! 00 from $474,000 and there remains $:574. 000. as a profit to the Republican printing com] any fur one year's woik. Dots any belii\e that Jumping Woodruff and A. O. Jones arc allowed to absoib such a sum. We kaow the contrary, uoui 01 intm nave ioiu us that their shaie was a piliiul one. We believe thetn. Hut such supple tools are OD'y used to be worn out. A score of republican nic-iubirs divide this plunder, after iu^r a couple ot slices to the executive depurtuu nts. Considering the odium attached to the compauy, the utter wreck of commercial aud personal reputation the}' have made, Woodrutl ai.d .1 >ues ought to have bad the ?h ?le of the profits. It wouni not pay lilt u>, but it would to something. Mis is.

If you think of buying a Sewing Machine it will " |Ry you to examine the records of those now in use anil profit by ejyxjricnce. The Wlioeler Ac t Wilson stands alone ns the only Light Hnnning Machine, using the Itotary . Hook, making a Lock Stitch, alike on both j. sides of the fabric sewed. All shuttle machines tub waste power in drawing the shuttle back after the ^ stitch is formed, bringing double wear awl strain \ upon both machine and operator, hence while other V machines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler & W11ton lasts a lifetime, and proves an economical investment. Do not believe all that is 'promised by j the "Cheap" machines, you should require proof that n,:, years of use have tested their value. Money once 1' thrown away cannot b> recovered. Send for our circulars. Machines sold on easy terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines put in order or received in exehange. i WHEELER A WIUSON MFG.
