C. Disaffected. A journal which owes its feehle e\i>- j tencc to the printing ling, and which , would never draw another hrcath if it should fail to receive its weekly sustcuancc from that source, speaks of the Commercial as an " unrecognized, pn- ] influential and disaffected paj>er,'' edited by a "supposed republican." The facts are that we have shown our influence in the breaking of the ring; we arc recognized by the house of representatives which has withstood, so-far, the efforts of the ring papers to hush np this scandalous printing swindle; and our '"disaffection" is a disgust for those who wear the livery of the republican party to pull it down into Tweed ism. , When the main part of the white leaders of the ring were fighting to keep in slavery the main part of their black allies, we wore the blue in the service of the Union. Our republicanism dates to a time when four-fifths of the present republican party were either white dough-faced defenders and apologists for slavery or were black slaves themselves. THE LIONS IN OUR PATH. There are four financial lions in the path of the republican party of this state. Between them it is likely to be quickly destroyed, unless it*should be wise in time and enter upon the straight and narrow way of homsty and economy. ? The bills of the bank of the state have already bceu adjudicated upon by the U. S. Supreme court, and have been declared receivable for taxes. The shallow tricksters who occupy the nnailiAno nf afobamon at P.nlnnllna im. |/VOl tlVUU V? UVHWVUUJVU M V V^VIUtU VIM IUU I agine that this decision can be defeated ; by a legal quibble to the cflect that i only the bills immediately before the court were adjudicated upon. tVc know that meaeu.es are dow being taken which will fore? the treasurers either to take the bills next year or 1 practically cease to get any taxes at all i This is lion number one. In 1871 a tax was levied to pay the interest on the public debt. The money was collected but the interest was not paid. A similar case in North Carolina has produced a suit on the part of bond holders to compel the treasurer to pay the money due them for inter est before paying any other appropria- 1 tions. An injunction was asked for, < and though it was refused, the opinion of the federal court plainly intimated 1 that wheu the case was fully heard and decided that the injunction would be granted. Such a suit will soon be commeuced against the slate treasurer o South Carolina, and he will be forced ! to retain enough money to pay the #00:),000 collected to pay interest and subsequently misappropriated to other purposes. This is lion number two. The Blue Ridge scrip is not yebdead. T ?Wa a Kloil llvfira it oooir.Q 1 a { Kiivit JL41IV v a. laviivu MJUio aw uvvuj.j KV Vilktf v on wouuds. The federal courts arc to be appealed to to force the state to ful?. fll the contract entered into with the Blue Ridge railroad company. The assignees of that bankrupt corporation dem&ud the surrendered bonds or the scrip for which they were surrendered. The holders of the scrip rely upon the decision of the U. S. Supreme court in vhe case of the bills of the bank of the State as applicable to the contract expressed upon the face of the scrip. The slate agreed with the holder that it would receive the scrip for taxts. Much of it was received aud was again paid out of the treasury. The form of the scrip has been dccid< d by our state supreme court to be illegal. No decision has ever been given against the binding force of the contract as ex- j pressed upon its face. That something will have to be done with this scrip so that it may bo retired, is as certain as daylight. This is lion number three.; The following recent decision of the highest judicial authority of the land was clipped from the New York Ttnw. "The supreme court of the Uniud 41 States has given a decision in favor of "George O. Marcy, of Boston, con44 firming the validity of ?1U,U0U worth 44 of Illinois registered town bonds, is- ' "sued in aid of the Illinois Grand 41 Trunk Railroad. The town attempted | " to avoid paying interest on tne nonds 44 alleging that tin y were illegally is- ( 4'sued. The basis of the court's dcei-: ( 14 siod was that no irregularity prcce- f 44dent to the it-sue, uot eveu fraud on 1 44 the part of the age nts of the town, 1 a 44 cau vitiate the bouils in the hauds of j 44an innocent holder. The court ap- j 44 plies the same rules to these bonds as 1 44are applied to commercial paper-4' Where is the boasted se tic-meat of i f tho bonded debt under this decision? s The fact that a resolution has passed a the legislature that we don't iuteud to \ c pay our debts will hardly stand aguiitsfc | v adictum of theU. S. ?upreme court. In J1 fact we do cot doubt that a de< i ion S similar to the Mortou-Hliss decision d could be obtained from the slate su- 11 preiue court, after the next election, o sustaining the validity of every conver- o slon bond in existence. This is lion d number four. ? %?? .

The total amount of taxes received during the same time is as follows: 1868, 8653,088 72 1809, 1,074,795 13 1870, 816,780 88 1871, 1,248,662 05 1 nao ?r.7 77 1872, 1873, ** 1,095,8.9 43 Total, So,712.824 95 So that it appears that legislative expenses and public printing have absorbed the enormous proportion of S2,770.470.21, out of a total tax levy of SO,712,824.95. Leaving out the public printing, which is a comparatively modern device to steal the people's money, the total cost of the legislature, exclusive of the last special session, has beeu 51,807,126.79. The average annual receipts from taxes has been $1,118,804.00 and the Average legislative expenses has been $101,184.13, about one-third of the amount raised each year from taxi 8. In the year 1872, the legislative ex penses paid, were $712,249.43. The receipts from taxes were 51,223.007.77. So that three-fifths of the sum total raised by taxation was absorbed by the members of the legislature iu that year. But this is not all. There are legislative pay certificates and notes given by the treasurer for the expenses of the sessions of 1871-72 amounting to over $400,0;>0, which would bring up the expenses of the session presided over by Moses and Ransier to eleven hundred thousand dollars. If statesmen are great in proportion to what they cost, we have reason to be proud i>f those produced by South Carolina sinoc reconstruction. It is not definitly known what amount of fraudulent or irregular certidcates were issued during tbe session of 1S72-73. That a large number were sigued is generally belivced, but they have been kept pretty close. A specimen of Ihem Was exhibited in the Allen trial, in which Mr. Cardozo made his curious distinction between I two kind3 of pay certificates. lie 6aid Senator Swails' ceitilicate was genuine but not iunu Jide. What amount of such are in existence is an uuknowu []Uauiliy. A Dill nas uteu prepatcu ; to pay Ihcui, bul fear has hitherto prevented it seeing the light. It will be seen from the above slaiis ties that the great leak is through the egislative plank. However much the ;xecutive members of the administration may have beeu ou the "make" .heir chances were small when such a egislative maw was to be tilled. The Bank of the State. C. 0.

If such a dose < Iocs not gorge hiui it may he accounted < or from the fact that he had associates i n the committee to investigate the state i f the luud. The whole business is scan- 1 alous. 11 The simple change of receivers, made 1. luhuut &?.guing a.iy reason, iiitoive- a i liuiinutiou ot the fond by five per cent w ,t each chauge. This has been done now a hreo times?and on the same principle X nay be repeated whenever the necessi- o ies of judges and politicians make it de ti iruble. ti The general opinion is that the fund d ias been grossly mismanaged in other v rays. Beside the $120,000given iu fees r o three receivers there is, it. is said, a a ojs of three huudred thousand dollars, a >y improper loans and investments. 1 We have soute information on the sub- I cct which we will give as soon as it can I oe verified which will exhibit iu a striking light how recklessness and fraud strikes down and up through all grades of society in this poor state. t Contracting With Himself. ] The contract for the piinting of the i f general assembly was given to the Re- i i publican Printing Company, under au- j 1 thority of the act of January 23, 1871. as ; \ follows: "And they, (the clerks raspcc- j tively of the senate and house of repre- I sentatives) arc further authorized to provide by contract for the permanent and j current printing of the general assembly." 1 The present contract, is sigued by J. W/iAlii-nff onrl A O .Tnnoc. Mr. Bowlcy says that Woodruff and j Jones testified before his committee that < the same Woodruff and Jones were the only member* of the Republican Printing Company. So the two clerks being authorized as public officers to contract for ( the printing, proceed to contract with themselves, not as the lowest bidders but 1 as the only bidders. For no other bids ' were invited or received. If this is not an offense calling for the attention and , action of the attorney general we think' such an officer might as well hereafter be dispensed with. OUR COLUMBIA LETTED. Columbia, Jan. 31. The resolution introduced by Mackey to-day, and its adoption by the l.o isr, may give the quietus to the printing ring It appoints a committee of five to investigate the charges mode that certain members of the house had received a part of the large appropriations for printing. The clerks in making their sly allusion to "the other cause to which we do not think it necessary to call to the attention of your honorable bodies,'* doubtless thought that no investigation was likely to he ordered by either house into the fact which is so generally known hut which it would be rather difficult to prove without the assistance of that little memorandum book of Onkes Auies Wor.d uff. Let a committee be appointed to ex amine the vouchers upon which the printing bills have been paid. There would be something practical in such information. The dodge of appointing committees to prevent investigation is about played out. Chief Justice Moses was rc-clecfcd in joint Assembly on Friday by a vote of one hundred and twenty-three to four. There was no one to oppo.-e him. The committee appointed to investigate the charge against Judge Carpenter for discriminating on account of color in the discharge of a jury, made a majority and a minority report, the former si^n ed bv Minort, Boston, Adarason and P. Si m pk ins, all colored, and the latter by Tim Hurley. The former wa? rather condemnatory of Judge Carpenter's action, the latter entirely exonerated him. The former wax adopted as the sense of the House, and leaves the whoic matter open for the further consideration of the IIou c. The Governor approved the following acts, viz: To amend the joiut resolution authorizing the county commissioners' of Beaufort County to levy a s|>ccial tax; to charter the Boatman's Phosphate River Mining Company, and to empower coroners to punish for contempt. In the Senate the bill to regulate the sale of inebriating liquors was passed mid sent to the House. Mr. Hope's resolution relative to the report of the expenditures of the contingent fund of the oxecutivc department was adopted. The House adjourned until Tue-day evening at sevon o'clock, with a view, it is said, of giviug the committee appointed for that purpose time to go to Charleston and investigate the affairs of the Bank of the State. (The result of ti e investigation was the appointment ofoi.c of the committee as receiver of the bank, but no report.) The Senate meets to-morrow as usual. The young colored men of Richland County have been holding a convention in Columbia, and after several sessions have prepared and presented the following memorial to the Lcgis ature: We, the young men of Richland County, in convention assembled, do memorialize your honorable body to consider the matters herein mentioned. We respectfully urge such legislative action as may be necessary to secure a just and lair valuation of the taxable property of the State; tha t the appropriations for the current expenses ol the government be curtailed to the limit of tiie present tax levy; that the disbursing officers of the State beheld to a strict accountability for he expenditures of the money under their co tr 1; that the taxes for the next fi-eal year be reduced to a reasonable extent; that the present printing laws he repealed, and the piinttng be to the lowest bidder, who will do the work at a cost of not more than SoU.tM), and employ workmen irrespective of color. The committee to investigate the transactions of the sinking fund comtnis moii made a report, accompanying wl.ich was a joint ^solution calling upon the attorney-general to institute legal proceedings to recover the property of the State alleged to have been uiude away with by the commission. The enacting clause was striken out , i>f the bill to provide for the election of county auditors and treasurers, the vote jtandiDg sixtoen to fourteen. The act to lid and encourage manufactures has been ratified and approved. It makes the term of exemption from taxation ten . i t- ~ 1 IIuric, utrodueed the knowing re* >lutior?, which brought out a little debate nd went over under the morning hour: Whereas the columns of the newspapers f this State have been from time to time lied with articles charging that the coningent fund of the Governor has been irected to other purposes than that f i ihich it was appropriated, then be ii esolved that a committee of five b< ppoiuted to examine into the said fund ,nd report to this House its conditior ^he vote upon the subject will indicate iretty cleaily how Moses stands with th< louse.
