Nobody is fool enough to believe that the shrewd managers of the senate aud bouse gave their approval to a contract which was to inure solely to the beuelit of Woodruff aud Jones. Not by such unselfish devotion to the interests of others have our senators and representatives been enabled to dress their wives in silks aud jewels; buy fast horsis; build el egant houses; give dinners to brigades; bid off the property of the ir conslitu euts at tax sales and that if their quondam associates at sheriffs sales? l?o! no!

A COMPARISON COMPLETED. Governor Mosisiu hisai nuai m<saage compared the relative amounts puid to bustaiu their stale governments by the citizens of Massachusetts and South Carolina. His comparison seemed to prove that the advantage was altogether in favor of our state. He said that while each citizen of Massachusetts, man. woman and child, was called 'upon to pay about five doliats to the state, that iu South Carolina each man, woman and child paid but about three dollars. His figures may be right euough. but he should have pursued liis cyphering a little further. The wialihor taxable property of Mussaebubetts was at a low valuation given in ISTo a? $1.51)1, 98i;112,and her population 1.457,331. O.. !.<.( if om.ru man Brnmnn iinii cliilil IJ* J kUUli II P?

There is another diilercoca, too, 1 which is important to t? reiiiciubcicd, unu to whicu Governor M< .? s failed to call oijl attention. The luxes of Masfeachuselts arc properly expended, ilir citizens do not feci when they are handing over their moniy. that they are pouriug water into a seive.

Uutil we saw the figures of this, Georgia committee we really thought, the state had lu^t millions. They are a penurious lot across the river. Mi-art? ? Major Pliancy's Letter. In another column we print a letter recently written by Ma;. Martin R. l)e!any, who is well known to many in this community. The pointto which we would particularly call the attention of our republican readers is that which asserts that the sympathies of the country arc with the white minority of South Carolina. Sot all Told Yet. The following extract from a letter of Mr. Rowley to the Georgetown Planet seems to show that our figures have not included all the plundering done hv the Republican Printing Company. He intimates that other bills of the company were covered up under the guise of "contingent " expenses, etc. lie says : I have from the annual reports of the State Treasurers, the foilowingstatement of the total cost of the Public Printing, ! since the adopti n of the present State | Constitution : Prom September 1st. 1 SOS to October 31st. 1870, 2<'> months, $43,* 410.57; l'roui November l..t, 1870, to Octobir 31st, 1871, 12 months, ? 134.151:44; from November 1st. 1871, to October 31st, 1872, 12 mouths. $215,129.86; from November 1st, 1872. to October 31st, 1873, 12 months, 331,945.66; undrawn appropriations, October 3d, 1873, $118,054 34; appropriated by act of March 19th, 1873, SI25.UU0; grand total $967,721.87. Even this large sum docs not cover the whole amount, as various other charges in the Treasurers accounts might legitimately be placed under the head of Public Printing. The rates of increase is noticeable, the first two years and two mouths eo'-t 8l3.4-fl.57. the la -1 three years and two months S.'2f,058.30. with the printing of the preset.t regular session unpaid for. A Disgraceful Exhibition. On Wednesday, the lllli inst., the supply bill for the year being under dis" the house of representatives presented a scone which, if presented by a negro minstrel troupe wou'd be set down as a broad caracnture upon legislation in St. Domingo or Ashautce. An amendment had been proposed to cat down the impropriation for the support of the penitentiary; Minort, of llichland opposed it. Humbert, of Darlington, the groat colored economist, interrupted Minort in his homely and laughable style, asking if ho did not know that the institution melit to be self-sustaining, and iusinuat ing that Minort only wanted A GRAB AT THE MuNXT. Minort fl tiv l a -k at tbo "gemrt-n from j Darlington,'' and a most rcdicuMii* scene : ensued. Hurley attempted to come to Minort's relief, but was silenced by Humbert's " You shot your inouf, sir,'' followed by a roar of laughte r from the House, (ircenc, of lleaufort, urged that the 8t')b,0U0 be retained, and that even that sum would not be sufficient. The idea that tbo poor convicts should be compelled to go out to labor for their bread seemed to him very hard. In the course of his remarks, in the usual legislative style, he referred to Humbert as "THAT Til!KK IRO.U l?AP.U(iTON.'' Humbert retorted thai if lie had ever siolcu anything he would to bo ku-kluxcd and robbed by just such highway robber.as the gentlemaii iroui iieauibrt. fireunc insinuated that the gentleman from Purliugton might find himself soon in tlio walk of the penitentiary, and ought to bo careful how he fought the appro* priatioii for its supnort.

This extravagant legislation was forcing the party of the North to cut loose from that of the South. The Notional Republican party had already abandoned Texas j to its fate. Again, they were about to ! desert the Republicans of Louisiana, ! because.they could imt oarry any such load. Soon they would cut loose from the party in South Carolina if it did not reform. The enormous expenditures for (public printing and legislative expenses in this State, had lost the Republican party thousands of votes iu the North. States that were a year ago Republicans by immense majorities, have since become Dxtiioei-fltin Even President Grant thought it was time to unload. We have levied the heaviest taxes that we dare levy, or that the Republican party can stand. In the early part of the sea-ion, while many of the members were absent, and before they had time to properly consider the matter, a lull appropriating large amounts for printing was rushed through. Already the House seen the evil effects of its hasty and reckless action in this matter, and now when it is too late they are repenting. To-day members arc trying the same game. Preponderance of Race. Charleston, S. C., Feb. 10, 1874. lion. J. J. Wright, Assistant Justice S?j>nme Court S. C1. Columbia, ?S'. C.: My 1 >ear Sir.?I see by recent Convention held by the Young Men of Richland County, at which you ppokc and gave some excellent counsel, that much interest and alarm were manifested by them at the influx of white emigration. This is but the early current of that emigration which I frequently cautioned the people concerning in 18GG, at Hilton Head, and among the Sea Islands, and spoke of it at the great reconstruction meeting at Kpping Hall, (now United States Court House.) Charleston, 1708, and more particularly, as the club meeting af Republicans at Reaufort, the same year, (I being then in the United States Army stationed at Hdtuu Head) and .-uh.'oquently at oilier times when you wove present. I remember the club meeting particularly, as the suggestions made by me met with determined opposition, and ttlufet* the most prominent of the party there at the time arose in the meeting and advisedthe people that there need he no fears of any such tiling ever taking place, as it was simply impossible ever to outnumber the colored people in South Carolina and Mississippi, where the black now had the preponderance. You must refucinber thi*- and the Reaufort club meeting. 1 spoke of General Amnesty. and this too, was "pooh-poohed." I simply desire to say that this tide of emigration having u nv set in will go on to completion?that i-, it will not crease, til! the white population in tno ruato, sufficiently outnumbers the blacks, to Heeure to the whites the basis of a ruling element. The object of the *' Granges'' or emigration in this Slate, as you very well know, is to neutralize the black ruling element, bv reducing or exceeding its majority. An I my candid opinion is, tliar the whites ill the Soatli goo rally, and South Carolina in particular, prefer a > agricultural, mechanical, and laboring elements the b!aek s, to the whites ; and that this emigration scheme never would have be n organized b id tliey from the past an.1 present a-p ct of things not men led to believe that we. the black , weic influenced, controlled, and led in our political actions without priciple or a will ol our own, and that so long as wo outnumber tlieui, they would never get a chance to participate in tho political affiirs of the State. This is my sincere conviction, after much observation and intelligent inquiry. l>ut tin- thing is now done, and is a fixed fact til it in five yea is, if not lestime tlian this, the black popu'ation ( f include ail people af color) wiii be in the mauority in this State. \Vhat our race requires is, proper information to rightly direct it. This lias been to long neglected, and should have been given by those who led them in pol ities. What 1 desire now to say is, that it is your duty, as it is that of every intelligent man among us, who aspires to a ha ler.-iiip, loves bis race, has the capacity. and i- veix.-d in the groat principles, noli tics, seieii'*e, and consequently, the philosophy of popular Mtcocs-joii, to warn hi.-people of a great approaching reality, which sooner or later will verify itself in history. Thai having prospectively lo?t the popular preponderance, and consequent certainty of representation in all tho departments of goveriiUi *nt, local, State, in I national, our only hope and chance of its future security, i- in the principle i'/tf in. t urliu*)) gp.Mtnu hi! norify representation a- well as majority. I<ct our Legislature he wise enough now, while it is in ihc p?wer of our race to do so. to take -ucli measuers as to so suv. by eo:i?titutional enactment, the right of iitinority te.pie dilation. which, while inline ii.iicly set* iros to I lie whites i'tii.
