I AM THE STATE. The irritability of Grant in his int view with the South Carolina uieuiori ists attracted much attention and a gc deal of unfavorable comment. We t? it, that more notice was taken of it cause of the supliant tone of the addr of Mr. Porter, as well as of the ineuioi itself. It looked too much like " kno ing a man who is down" not to cx< disgust in the minds of magnaniuii men. We stated at the time, our belief tl the president was growing into the ft ing common to all sovereigns, and es cially to those who think themselves " gitimate," or rulers "by the grace God." The accounts we give in anotl column, of the interviews of the Bosi and New York committees, sent to p . sent the memorials of the uicrchi princes of those cities on the finant bill, theu under consideration, strengi ened the belief that Grant has read: the point at which he is ready to si with Louis XIV., when urged to act "the good of the state,"?"the Sta I am the State 1" A won /if* fino trrain ormlil nut ItftVP 1 toned to the eloquent pathos of Mr. P ter's address, even if the speaker h been up to that point his personal enen without a sympathy which would ha banished anger. or at least restrained <1 courtesy ; and, it seems to us, that a in whose business experiences has been li ited to a tanyard would have heard t views of such men us composed the co mittees of the two great commercial cit of the country with attention and respe< unless his mind was warped by the p< session of power and debilitated by t flattery of his partisans.

In doing which, the truth for obtained; deduct therefore the amount t ) $1,069,905.90 from $4,989,838.16, ai the balance will be $3,819,932.26, whi< |is. is all that can be charged to the accoui or- of current expenses of the state govcr a<j inent for the full term of four years en 1y) ing October 31, 1872., ivc Divide this sum by four and the annu i.s- average cost will be $954,983.06, an against $1,798,270, paid in the year en ing October 31, 1873. he I am aware that the present ndmini t rat ion claiirjs to have been loaded dov ics with a floating debt left by the former a> L-t ministration, but the claim is not w< JS- grounded, for while the previous admii |IC istration.

As I have before stated the amount | 9r of $3,819,932.26 was all that could be ,e properly charged to the account of cur- ^ rent expenses of these four years. It will j r" therefore be seen at a glance that the ? 'e legislature aud public printiTTtr absorbed t nearly one half of the entire amount ex- i pended. j It will be observed that considerably j more than oue third of the entire revc- J nue of the state is absorbed to put it mildly for two purjioses alone, viz : legis- j lative expenses and public printing. If ] the legislators, who arc alone responsible ] for the robberv are returned to the legis- i ar lature, God help the state. Ever}' member of the Beaufort delepa- , tion voted for the printing frauds, time ] and again. , It will be observed that the annual avftc . . ( crage amount collected from taxation in the four years ending October 31, 1872, j V) was $1,140,809.39, as against $1,798,270 < 56 in 1873. Thus the taxes wrung from the 1 people during this Reform Administra- j tion arc larger by $?>57,4GO. 61 than under ( the previous administration. ? More anon, from 50 A White Republican, 1 ????^ < More Presidential Snubbing. i 40 oo Mr. Wm. Grajf, chairman of the com- i oo niittec appointed to present tbe memorial i of citizens of Boston against inflation, oo gives the following account of the demeanor of the president at the interview: I called upon Gen. Sherman, who 1 sc kindly offered to go with me to the President, and I gladly accepted his offer. We v" went, and were admitted at once, when \ z: Gen. Sherman immediately left the Prcsi- j as dent and myself alone together, and no j W1 other person was present during the f ^ interview. ^ j I stated to the President that a large ( T public meeting, the numbers of which ( is were estimated by the newspapers from | ,re 2"><J0 to 4lXX) persons, had been recently j . Jield in Fanueil Hall, that resolutions had , been unanimously adopted, and a com- J "a- uiiltee appointed to present them, with ] irs a memorial to be prepared by them, to |1C the President; that the legislation of the House had advanced rapidly, and my associates were unprepared to leave home u* at the moiueut, and could not reach b- Washington before Saturday; that I re- I ia] grettcd their absence, but as the paper i which I had with me had been signed by I . every one of them delay seemed unneces- I " sary, and I requested his permission to i ;e read the resolutions and memorial to zo him, to which request he assented. t I read the paper through without in- i terruntiou from the President. When I i ?? had finished he said: "There are two ] ,rs things in that paper which I do not like, i >#. The resolutions say the legal tender acts I . were first declared unconstitutional, and 1 c afterwards constitutional by a majority of | ,c one vote. That is not exactly so. The id resolutions attack my administration, in < is saying that the legal tender notes should s of have been paid with the reserves instead . of using tlieiu to buy up long bonds, 'd This was the policy of my administration, :h and such a resnlutiou is an attack upon it ! [(t which I do not like. 1 think that poliey ] is right, and they call it wrong. That ] | policy reduced the premium on gold lroui " 34 per cent, to 13 per cent." 1 replied that it was the general under- ' al standing that the citizens of the United 1 M States were at full liberty to assemble in ! . public meetings and pass any resolutions ] "- which thev saw fit and present them to the t resident, observing proper courtesy; 1 s- that I did not write the resolutions, but ,tJ was the official organ deputed by the 1 ' citizens to present them to him. d" lie then remarked that in the memo- J ill rial we deplored the passage of the origi- ' ii- nal legal tender acts, and he did not like ' r_ that; that the war could not have been 1 .. successfully carried on without them. 1(1 that the country had approved them, and | >n he did not think it right that we should }) come to ask a favor of him and at the ie same time censure his administration. 1 I . replied that neither 1 nor the citizens of Boston asked any favor at his hands; that -w thoy desired the right thing to be done; ^ l>, that they had expressed their views of ' what the right was and presented them 1 to hiin; that they did not claim iufallibili- "J l* ty. and that he would act on his own i st judgment. i- The next day a committee of New ie York merchants, representing, it is cstit* mated, five hundred millions of dollars, x waited on the President with a memorial d similar to the Boston one. The president d appointed an interview and the com- ( "" mittee was introduced. Just as Cjrus 1 k \Y. Field was about to begin his address ' :c Ben Butler entered and with a cuit ir apology drew Grant away, into a window ?" recess, leaving the committee twirling their hats for ten minutes. Then the " chairman again commenced, and was h again interrupted by the entrance of"sena- 1 1 t us Loogan and Carpenter, stonig r d opponents of the niovemeiit. Sena- j h tor Logan stood in a leaning at- i c- t'tudc. with his hands in the pockets of 1 e his pantaloons and a cigar in his mouth ^ durinc the whole interview. Senator 1 s- Carpenter entered the room with a cigar J in his mouth, but after a while took it out ami held it in his hau l. Had the i* Senators desired by their actions to exic press contempt for the Committee, they j could hardly have been more successful, s as the conduct of Senator Imuran was not w only discourteous and ungentleuianly, i' but postively disgusting.
