SOME TOUCHERS SECURED. Mr. Cardozo, in his reply to the request of tho Taxpayers* Convention, which had asked permission to inspect the vouchers upon which he hid paid $331,945.60 for public printing in 1873, made the following stateuieut: Subjoined will be found the necessary information explaining the expenditure of the fBl ,945.06. The alleged fact In the resolution, to wit: that I paid out 9331,000 for the printing of 1S73 is not correct 9331,043.66 was paid during the year 1S73, but not for tbe printing of that year only. Tho appropriations for printing 'or the fiscal year commencing November 1, 1872, snd ending October 31,1873,amount to 9125,000, dlstriouted as follows: For current printing ... 950,000 00 For permanent printing 60,000 00 For adrrrtiaing acts 25,0001)0 Total .9125,000 00 The permanent printing consists or tne uauy journals and calenders of both houses. The permanent printing consists of the Acts, Reports, Resolutions and Journals of each house, In regular permanent form. The legislature in December 1872, made an appropriation of (329,000 for permanent printing and advertising the laws passed by the General Assembly, as follows: For Permanent Printing r. (250,000 CO For Advertising Acts 75,000 00 Total .. $325,000 00 Th? Permanent Printing: for which the above appropriation or $25o,OVO was made conalata of the following:s Five volumes of the Statutes of the State, viz: Vols. 10* 11,12,15* and 14. Three thousand five hundred copies of the Revised or General Statutes. Fivo thousand copies Ko-Klux Trials. Five thousand (extra) Reports of Spec ial Investigating Committee. Two volumes Supreme Court Decisions. One thousand extra copies of Reports and Resolutions of the General Assembly of 1871-72, and sundry books and documents ordered by the Executive departments. The printing of the above was ordered by the pro vious General Assem bly of 1870-71, and 1871-72, and -not by the present General Assembly, which ouly made an appropriation to pay fur the work ordered by its-predecessor. In the above extract Cardozo makes the explicit and circumstantial statement that the permanent printing for which the 8250,000 was paid consisted of the documents therein named. It is fair to assume that he had just examined the vouchers upon which the payments were made and ascertained precisely the items enumerated in them. Wo have taken the trouble to examine the work done, and arc not at a loss to divine the reluctance which the treas nrer feels in showing his vouchers. This document is death to tho last slim fragment of his reputation fur honesty. We have carefully counted the pages of the list of documents named in the chedule furnished usaud give below the result of the figuring. We have computed the work at the prices for which the Republican Printing company contracted to do the work, except in the cases which we will subsequently refer to. WHAT THK VOUCHERS OUGHT TO BE. Three thousand five hundred copies Revised Statutes 1062 pages at Sl.36 per page for first 1,000 copies, 84,630 00 Add for the 2,500 extra copies, 5,000 00 Two vols. Supreme Court decisions, 1070 pages at 84-36 per page. 4,665 00 Five vols. Statutes of State from vol 10 to 14 inclusive, 4,452 pages, at 84.56 |*r i?age. 19,410 72 Five hundred extra copies Special Joint Investigating Committee Report. 2,000 00 Five thousand Ku-Klux trials at 81.50 7,500 (0 One thousand copies Reports and Joint Res olutions, 2,000 00 8undry books and documents of the executive departments, slhjw same as paid by the Statu of Ohio, as shown by report of State printer for 1S72, 6,2r?7 00 Total. 851,702 72 We have no doubt that one mode of arranging the bills for a swindle in all these documents was to assume that the oontraet meant so much per page for each thousand copies. Every one who Is familiar with printing expenses knows that it is the first copies which cost most. After the type is set up and the first edition is priuted off, extra copies ean always be had at a large deduction from the price of the first. As the persons who were intrusted by the legislature^ contract fin* the work on the part of the state were the same porsons who eon meted to do it; who incasIIMil tVwi 11 (II I* A .? *? ..m 1 ... ..... uivu iuv 11 ui iv^ 11 vruij'iuu iur it iiuu wriv paid lor it, of course there whs no dispute about the construction of the contract. The effect of such a construction wonld be to double the cost of 2000 copies of a document instead of only increasing it by the cost of paper, presswork and binding. This is a plain swindle, and one that if attempted in the case of an individual would never be enforced or allowed. Such a swindling process we believe has been perpetrated by the Republic:! n Printing company and allowed by the treasurer of the state, P. L. Cardoro. The effect of such Twccdisnis has been to'raise the cost of the 3500 Revised Statutes from $9,630.32 to $10,206,12; a difference of $6,575,80. The same swindle was, wc are convinc* (d, perpetrated in the 5000 extra copies of the report of the special joint investi $2,000, which would have been a largo 1 price for extta copies, in which there wa? ' no composition of the type. This would i make another difference of $1,6X4.10. I The item* for 1000 copies of the Reports and Joint Resolutions was doubti ess raised in the same way from $2,000, wuich would be a very liberal price, to $7,390.6$, a difference again of $5,390.68. The item for 5,000 Ivu Klux Trials is a swindle all through, which we will discuss in another place. But we will first put it down as it doubtless appears on Cardozo's vouchers, if indeed, he has any. So put 5,000 Ku Klux Trials 848 pages at $3.48 per page for each 1,000 copies, is $14,855, a difference of $7,255. The item "sundry books and documents for executive departments" has an ancient and lish-likc smell. Mr. Cardozo has himself, in the Allen trial, defined the word "sundries" in legislative parlance, to be a "convenient term for swindle." We will not undertake to dis7 pute his knowledge of the subject. We wil* however, be liberal in our treatment of this particular "sundry" because we are sure that Mr. Cardozo recognized it the instant he saw it. Now the two clerks in their defence claimed that it took 825,000 to do the executive work. We are going to put it down at that. So there is another difference of 818,743. Let us now oonstruct a new table, going into all the swindling Tweedisms. The vouchers will then read as follows : . THE TWEEDF.D VOUCHERS. Throo thousand five hundred copies Revised Statutes, 1062 pages, at $4.36 per page for each 1,000 copies. $16,206 1^ Supreme Court decisions, 2 vols., 1070 )>ages, at $1.36 |>er page, 4,665 00 Statutes at Large, 5 vols., 4,752 pages at $1.36 per page. - 19,410 00 Ku-Kiux Trials, 5,000 copies, at $3.48 per page for each 1,000 copies. 14,755 00 Report of Joint Investigating Committee, 218 pages at $3.48 per page for each 1,000 copies. 3,684 20 Reports and Joint Resoluions, 2,141 pages at $3.48 per page. 7,390 68 Sundry executive documents. 25,000 00 Total. $91,111 00 According to the first account, Mr. Cardozo has paid S250,000j.for work, which, at a contract price and a liberal price for extras, only should have cost the State 851,401.72. According to the second account, Mr. Cardozo has paid 8250,000 for work, which at even the most exorbitant stretch to which the contract with the Republican Printing Company can be subjected, can only be figured up to 801,111,00. It will be seen that allowing for bill8 forced by a fraudulent construction of the contract to the highest point, that there i9 still 815S,SS(J to be accounted for. We do not hesitate to say that Mr. Cardozo has no Touchers tor tho balance save a simple order or receipts from Woodruff and Jones. He cannpt plead that he was duped into paying; no man knew better than ho the character of the printing swindle. Ho paid the bi'ls knowing them to be gross frauds. lie defends his action. Ho declines to aid in bringing the facts to light. There is but one inference. His professions of honesty are as false as the printing ' ills he has paid. The enunciation by Mr. Cardozo, in his controveisy with Hardy Solomons and the Comptroller-General, that he knew it to be his duty to examine and verify the vouchers for ^jiinis which had been passed upon by the legislature, and for which he had the same kind of an order to pay that he had in the case of this printing claim, encouraged for a moment the belief in our minds that he would not stand in the way of a thorough investigation of such an enormous swindle. Hut we found that his action in the one caso was directly the reverse of his ac" tion in the other. IIow can it be explained in any other logical.'way than that while he was pretending to protect the treasury in the certificate case he was mc ely putting a screw on Hardy Solomons for I his own gain, and that in the case of the Printing Company no screw was needed ?all difficulties having been " fixed." Again we ask Mr. Cardozo to remember that Ineersol is in the Albany penitentiary for making out fraudulent bills, and William M. Tweed, is in the Blackwell Island County prison of New York j city, for auditing and allowing fraudulent bills. A MUDDLED SENATOR. Senator Smalls exhibited more than his usual spitcfullness and less than his I usual canning in his course of opposition j I f.\ #1,., i\.i\rtunnf /\f flin nliini tnc nrinhtirr I the tax duplicates of 1872. In his desire to do Mr. Thompson an injury he opposed the claim of Mr. Price, lie knew perfectly well that his statement that warrants for #13,000 had been issued to Mr. Thompson for this work was untrue, but he persisted in the assertion even in the face of the denial by the comptroller- i general and Mr. Gary that any warrants had been issued. Mr. Thompson did give Mr. Smalls claims to the amount of nearly ten thousand dollars of which Mr. Price's was a part, and was forced by the pressure of Mr. Price and other ered tors j to agree to sacrifice all and more than J Ills profits on the work in order to get 11 money enough to pay his debts to those [ who had assisted liiiu to carry out his ! contracts.- The twenty-Jive per cent. I which Smalls was to yet was not enough to pay all the other cormomnts, and as ! the bids were made out at fair prices, no ; ] greater shave was possible. The truth of the matter is that the j claim is riot a steal, and therefore cannot j 1 be divided satisfactorily to the legislative ! brokers. If it had been made out at the j samo rate which the republican printing j | company received for tire same work this j i year ) it would have been paid ; ' long ago, though neither Mr. Thorn; srn or Mr. Price would have got the differ- | encc. Smalls, Nash & Co., would have been richer and the state poorer but that ( is all. | If Mr. Smalls had opposed all the i UMi ias paid with the same pertinacity with svhich he has opposed this just claim, the itate would have saved hundreds of thousands'of dollars; but Mr. Smalls would uot have been able to add acre to j. acre, and house to house, keep race q horses for his pleasure, and drive about ^ Beaufort in his elegant barouche, while honest meu toil to pay the taxes out of c which he is able to extract the means to ^ support such outlays. The debate in onn?to trill frmnft in an evtrnef ! ? from the Uuion-IIcrald in another coluni. j The Campaign Berlin. We suppose that speaker Lee's address 1 to the house on its adjournment may be ^ accepted as the first speech for Elliott in 1 the campaign. lie said: 4iI will now touch, gentleman, upon a subject which demands your close mid ' undivided attention. It is that of reform None of us can but acknowledge that a i change of things is absolutely and itn- I peratively necessary for the preservation of our institutions and stability of our i government. We must have an honest i and economical government in the future, j For six years have we been apprentices, and now i t is time that tee should assume ; the role of master. During the past six years, experience has taught us many bitter lessons?lessons thut we shall never forget; and in the future, which glooms .1 ud Defore us, many occasions will occur < wnen the application of these lessons 1 will assist us most materially." To our mind the election of Elliott | would be the natural and fitting fruit of the political growth of the last four years. Insolent, reckless and thoroughly depraved, Elliott can do more than any man living to obliterate the last spark of hope for the success of the experiment of universal and unqualified suffrage. Well Waited On. There are said to be about one hundred and twenty-five attaches to the General Assembly; that is an expense, of ?23,000 for the Senate and 828.000 for the House, or 851,000 for both house. How is that for attaches ? Is the State of South Carolina not played out yet??

EJit(>r Daily Union Herald: Dear Sir :?IJcforo leaviug your city, where everything, except the forlorn creditor, is altogether lovely, I feel constrained to publish my experience as a collector of outstanding accounts against those who run and ruined the Statu. I came here, something over two weeks ago, to collect a bill against Governor, .Mo.sesforthcpurchasc of mirrors frotu the house of hckhardt & Mehlcr, Baltimore street, Baltimore.

John >f. Barrett,^ It I ' AMTOTLE. [From lie I'nion-ITnrald.] In the Senate, on Monday, the claim f Thomas W. Price, of Philadelphia. )r books and blanks fhrnished the late Itate Auditor, came up a second time or fconsideration. Mr. Nash, the chairmai "of the ommittce on claims, stated that Mr. Thompson, of Beaufort, had made the 011 tract with the late State Auditor for urnishing these books and blanks ; had gotten Mr. Price to do the woik for 55,000; had received the Comptroller's warrants to the amount of $13,000, being 58,000 more than the work had really tost him, and had never paid the $5,000 :o Mr. Price. Nevertheless, Mr. Nash thought Mr. Price's only claim was on Mr. Thompson. * . . Mr. Dunn said he had been informed, nn onrul mil Kuril v. that Mr. ThomnSOU had himself done part of the work for which hcTiad made the contract; had another pait of the work done by Walker, Evans & Cogswell, of Charleston, and had the remainder of the work done by Mr. Price, but had never received any warrants in payment. This brought up Mr. Smalls, who said that Mr. Dunn's statement was not cor rect; that the warrants had been issued to Mr. Thompson; that ho himself had coiue up to Columbia with Mr. Thorni Bon to try to get them paid, on Mr. Thomson promising to pay him 25 per cent, for his services ; that he had gone n? with Mr. Thouipsou to the Treasurer's s" office to get them paid, and had there ot seen and handled tncm himself. ca Mr. J. M. Smith proposed that Mr. ?i Price's claim should be paid, and the c'1 amount ot it deducted from Mr. Thomp- ei1 >on's warrants. ^ a? Put Mr. Dunn insisted that no war rants had been issued to Mr. Thompson, C(> and, on his motion the matter was post- w' poned until information could be re- fo ceived from the Comptroller-General as 'cl to the issuing of any warrants, ra In the evening a communication from the Comptroller was read, stating that ar no warrants in the matter had been is- VVI sued either by his predecessor or himself. i P< Mr. Smalls then proposed that Mr. ar Price's cltpm should be paid, and said ^ that the warrants to Mr. Thompson had been issued by the late State Auditor, th and that he himself had had of ~~t them in his own hands. In reply, Mr. Dunn sent up to the President a communication from Mr. Gary, late State Auditor, which was read, stating that he never issued any warrants to Mr. Thompson ; that there had been no appropriation on which any warrants could be drawn ; that all he 11 had eveu given Mr. Thompson was a certificate of Mr. Thompson having done the work, and of not having been nnid of for it; that the work had been (lone iai partlv by Mr. Price, partly by Evens & cr Cogswell, and partly by Mr Thompson an himself; and that the amount allowed ?? Mr. Thompson for the whole work was j},1 about $5,300. it Mr. Suialls still insisted that Mr. '.'a Thompson had received warrants to the 'ra amount ol S'J.OOO, and had pledged them w to the Fredtuen's Savings Bank, at ^ Beaufort, as security lor a loan. The ?>i late State Auditor had said sonic thing9 *jj which were nottruo. and which he would en not swear to. <u Mr. Dunn ittytod /hot Mr. Smalls ^ hul gotten things a little mixed; that the warrants for were issited to Mr. Thompson tor other work previously <is done tor the Superintendent of EducaLion, and had no reference to the work Jii done for the late State Auditor. He, ?" himself, had no interest in the matter, except to protect the reputation of an L honest man against unjust imputations, *j and lie thought it neither manly nor A", honorable for .Mr. Smalls to insist upon i?n repeating statements which the cointuunications from the Comptroller-General and the late State Auditor showed to ho false. And then the Senate, believing 1 'j the matter had been sutlieiently venti- : lated for the present session, postponed its consideration until the next. Acid Phosphate and Cotton Seed Compost. Believing phosphate of lime in a soluble form, Combined with a certain amount if ammonia to be the best commercial fertilizers we could use, T have tc.?n for i number of years, making the pure dissolved bone the basis of the fertilizers jsed by rae, and when the articles have :>ecn pure, they have given nie entire T latisfaction. In noticing the analyses of the Ohnr'es:on phosphates given by Prof. Holmes, ind others, I found those phosphates ,'ivc as great a percentage, and in sonic I"1 "iscs greater than pure bone. [ conclud:d therefore to try them in plaeo of lie dissolved hone, and after three rears' experience, 1 am convinced that (il Jiey are as good, if not better than the lissoived hone, obtained by us from the North ; they arc pure, free from dirt, s'charcoal, plaster, kc., kc., and cost sevmtcen dollars per ton less. As I hnvo been frequently asked to rive my mode of composting, using, Ac., t will give it tliroueh the columns of our valuable journal. ,,.j.

To speed where the Mystic future Ii s. And be in a moment there ; Or like the waves of the mighty deep. Roll backward to the past, O'er the shore of Long Ago to svv. p. Where the pearl* of lit- are east. Is it a vessel with outsproul sail That glide* e'er the waves of Time; i And wafts our hearts 'ueath a gentle gale To a far and fairer clime ? Or is it a ladder up whicli we go To dwell in the gleaming skies? Where the stars at night walk to and fro, When the earth in slumber lies. Or is it a river that onward goes With many a curve a nd sweep? That holds to its bosom as it flows The flowers that 'round it sleep. Or is it a fount that upward springs From where 'twas hidden long? Till there where the shy birds plume their wiugs , It finds for itself a song. Not these. But thought is tho eye of the mind That its glances send afar, To lollow the track of the laughing wind, Or up to play with a star. Tis a chain that's bound 'ronud Long Ago, With an end in the far unseen; That keeps them side by sido, al-though There's many a link between. J LTIE. Pantalettes.
