Robibtson, our County Treasurer, has been sick for the past three weeks, not being able for that time to leave liis house, and it will yet be some time before be can be up and about. The duties of his office arej now being discharged by his son, Mr. A. p. Robkktsox. . ???<???" The . Baltstou# Harald, Biobmond, Virginia-?The Travala of Bav. J. A. 'Broaduo, D. D. The Religious Herald is one of the ablest religious journals in the United States. Wo are pleased to see that it^ is to publish a series of letters from Dr Bkoadus, concerning his travels in Europe and Palestine, commencing with the beginning of next year. The announcement which we insert below will | doubtless increase the number of the subscribers of the Herald ; it is a cheap paper for its size and decided merit only $2 50 yearly in advance : " Rev. John A. Broadus, D. D.? We have arranged with this brclher for a series of letters giving an account of his travels in Europe and in Palestine. Their publication will extend through several months of the coming year.? Many of our readers would cheerfully give the subsciiption price of the paper to have the privilege of perusing Dr. Broadus' narrative. With the opening of the new year we hope to make the Herald so attractive that our patrons will feel that they cannot afford to bo without it, and that hundreds of those who do not now see it will find it to their interest to become subscribers." The New Era, and Publlo Advertisements. This is the title of a new Radical paper, just commenced in Spartanburg, the first number of which has been shown us. We havo no protest to make against new papers of any party, and are disposed to treat all wi;h proper respect. We observe an order from the Executive Departrhent, directing that this is the paper for all legal notices and official notices for Spartan* burg. Union, York, Laurens and Green ville Counties to be published in.? There was an act of the Legislature, of a purely partizan character, passed in 1870, which authorizes "the Attorney General, the Comptroller General and Secretary of State to designate, conjointly, by public notice in one or more newspapers of this State, the newspa pers in which all legal notices, advertisements or publications for the State of any and every character, required by law to be made public, shall be - published," Ac. The second section requires all county officers to furr.is-h to the newspapers designated under this act, all Advertisements and notices, re quired by law to be made public, and if not so furnished and published, they are not to have any force or validity.? " And no publication of any character, in any newspaper not designated un der this act sball be paid for from the funds of this State or any county." Front the reading of ibis act, it would seem that it cannot embrace the ordinary cases ol advertisements of Cleiks, Sheriffs and Probate Judges or O'her county officers, In mailers hi which the Slate is not concerned. It would be monstrous to conclude that any Legislature ever Intended to make a law to defraud private parties and citizens by resting in any State official the right to have all cases affecting the interest of plaintiffs and dependents in a county to be published wherever they saw fit, in any newspaper out of the county or even out of the State, or in Canada or Nova 9cotia. That Iand9 should be partitioned, private property, real or personal; advertised and sold by publication in a newspaper having absolutely no circulation among the people interested ; this would be villainous in the extreme. Ileoce we condude that the Attorney General, Comptroller General, and Secretary of State, de not mean that matters purely aflecting private parties as the matters between plaintiffs and defendants only, in which the Slate or County has no official interest. This is the fair and Oharrtable construction of the law, and |t is atrenghened by the only sanction or penalty specified in the act; viz.: that such advertisements as are required U? l>e published in designated papers, ' m * ' ? ? ka if puousuea 10 hfiy Ul iici | eumi mvi uo paid for out of the State fund or county funds,. showing thereby that the law only bad reference to the publications , and legal aotioes iu which the State at large or the counties had an interest.? We are further led to tbie conclusion from a consideration of the high and patriotic character of the official gen t If men who famished lb) New Era \ with |b? order designating it m the official paper for Spailanburg and all tKe surrounding counties. We notice lb4t the order for the benefit of the Era it dated November 20th, 18ft ; at that lime there no euch piper in exittenee; subsequently, viz.: on the 01. ~t n 1? ? -? ?? w '/taiujuer, ion, mere das np ptery?n paper bearing the title of the paper designated in the order. It is impossible to suppose or think, consistently with the slightest respect for the fairness and poblie integrity and high character above mentioned, that they intended to smother all advertisements of sheriffs, etc., in a sheet not then nnfolded, and which they did not know ever would see the light, and if it did, would ever obtain any circulation in any county named in the order. We regard the order designating the 'Carolina New Era as invaliJ, even as regards County and State notices, for it was made nearly a month before there was any such paper, and amounted, therefore, to no designation whatever. I We trust in these times when there aro ; so many charges of corruption afloat, and personal Attacks, that no genuine order of the kind will be made to at tempt to force parties to go out of their counties to advertise in a paper that has do circulation among them. We take it for granted, that the Legis i?i...? - . ? :? ?:ii i miuiv av 113 SmiUIl will It'JK'HI the unfair and outrageous Acts under | which the order of the 20th November i was made. To let it remain, is only to furnish to Slate officials a means (ifj they choose to use it, and they will,) of getting up newspapers of no circulation, and corrupting the press to defend all their acts, good or bad, right or wrong, honest or dishonest, especially the latter. The State authorities and County authorities always had the light to select the papers in which to advertise, and usually have selected with a view to fairness to all interested. Whj, why, we say, should the Legislature authorise three men to play the tyrant over all the State and County officers, and to disregard the interest of the people, and defeat the very objects of all advertising? The thing is too plain for comment. - ? Columbia Correspondence. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 22 1871. jnessrs, Manors?the transactions 1 of the Legislature have been very unimportant up to this time. Ifhe report of the Joint Special Financial Investi 1 gating Committee, appointed last ses eion, and instructed to make a complete and thorough examination of all the accounts of the State Tieasurer, Comptroller General and Financial Agent,! since their indue ion into office, has at last been made. It was laid upon the ' tables of members to day, just before adjournment, and no action has yet been had. It is a voluminous report, cover- i ing nearly three hundred pages. The committee further asks the Legislature for immediate authority, unquestioned in detail and prerogative, to examine the books and papers of the Financial Agent for the fiscal year ending 31st October, 1871, in order to be enabled to completo their supplemental1 report, now in a forward slate of pre- j partition. The report is an exhaus- j live one, and shows that the committee have discharged their duty with zeal and fidelity. They have handled the subjects with ungloved hands, and apparently have nothing extenuated nor aught set down in malice. The report discusses and analyses the operations of the Land Commission, and by a great! deal of industry, have elicit- d facts here- i tofore suppress d. The report develojs the most unscrupulous and unblushing1 frauds upon the treasury, and the poor j people fot nliuro vwico nnJ p"*tended ; benefit (lie Land Commission was or* ganized. The Governor of the State is complicated in these frauds. He is one of the Adv.sory Board, without whose sanction no transactions could take place, and instead of being the grandest gentleman in the State, " sons ptur el sans rcprochfhe stands presented before the people of the State, if not a miserable peculator himself, at i least conniving at the peculations of his miserable underling*. The committee also discusses the arms' account, And shows that the Governor hud only a contingent authority to purchase arms. In the event of fail I tire to secure the State's quota of arms from the General Government, the Gov-j i cruur Rimionzen l)y ACl OF the I Legislature to purchase two thousand ' stands of arms, of the most Approved pattern, with the usual complement of ammunition. The lion. F. J. Moses, Jr., 8peaker of the IIou?e of Representatives, and Adjutant and Inspector General, was sent to Washington as ambassador, to treat with the Secretary of War, in behalf of the State, for her share of arms. In this be wan success fill, and secured ten thousand stands of Springfield muskets, a standard arm in the United States' service. By this' generous donation of the national gov eminent, Oovernor Scott's authority to purchase arms was nullified, -nevertheless Governor Scott deemed it his duty to puicbase one thousand Winchester I titles, with Ammunition, at a cost to the -! - - J l!-L I' .W State of $38,780.98, and in addition to this, without any warrant of law had the ten thousand Springfield muskets converted into breech loader*, at an expense to the State of $202,802.08 ; so that this donation has oost the 8iate more than the same number of new guns of the pattern into whieh these arms were converted. It is further developed in these transactions, that only a moiety of this large sum reached the contractors, the balance was divided out. If Governor Scott was not acces sory to this fraud, he has no excuse for his ignorance. The report of this committee brings under review all the laws authorizing the issue of bonds, and slin nr??nt. m ? , ?- ?- r tabular statement of bonds issued bj the American Bank Note Company, and to whom issued ; and from facts thus derived, together from admissions, made by the parties themselves, they present tabular and unquestioned state ments exhibiting an over issue of bonds to the extent of* $6,314,000. It is further made evident, that the Conversion Bonds, intended to retire outstanding issues, were perverted from their purpose and made the basis for the negotiation of new loans, and in cases where the Conversion Bonds were legit imately applied, the bonds thus retired were not cancelled, as contemplated by the law, but used by the Financial Agent in hypothecation for additional loans. The committee made the bonded debt of the Stale, including the Sterling Bonds, $22.371,300 27, the contingent debt, $6,087.008.20?making a total of $29,058,014 47. This calculation leaves out the floating debt. This is an unknown quantity, and can never be known until Mr. Kimpton hands iu his hill; his account sgsicst the Stste will no doubt be over $1,000,000. Mr. Bo wen's committee, raised to report to the House the status of the bonded debt, made tbeir report on last Tuesday. The report is a compact and statesmanlike document and shows conclusively that there has been a fraudulent issue of $0,314,000 of bonds. The report was adopted as the sense of tbe House by a large majority ; whereupon Mr. Bowen introduced resolutions?1st, That R. K. Scott be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors; 2d, That Niles G. Parker be impeached of high crimes and misdemeanors. These resolutions, by the rules of the House, had to lay over till next day. A night and a champagne supper intervened, and a very roticeabley change in the opinions of roctiibers, was apparent. The next day, Mr. Bowen obtained the floor, and sustained all the charges against the Governor, involved in his report, and assailed him with complicity in all the frauds that have disgraced his administration. Mr. Bya? and Mr. Jones are the Governor'echampions, and made long f-peeehcs, but never availed a sin gle point or statement in the report.? Mr. Whinner snnnm-ted llie restitution.. - - , II" of impeachment, nnd co-operated with Mr. Bowen in tho attempt to postpone a vote on the resolutions till after the recess. The Governor and his parlisi nns dreaded delay, they feared the effect of newspaper discussion and the pressure of public opinion of the severs constituencies upon their respective representatives during recess; hence every appliance was brought to bear to force a vote. Mr. W'bipper had the floor on Friday, and intended to occupy it till the hour of adjournment. This pro g'atnme was understood by theGovernor and his friends, ar.d Mr. Wbipper says he was offered five thousai d dollars to yield the floor for the simple motion to suspend the rules tequiring an adjournment at 3 o'clock. Mr Whipper refused. Their last resource was to the Speaker. As to the influence brought 10 l>em upon ilto t>pi>abpr, rumors ?ro vatious; some allege a money consid eration, and others the dread of the penitentiary ; be ibis as it may, contrary to all parliamentary law or precedent, he ruled what was termed a priv. ileged resolution in order, and amidst the deafening vociferations of 14 Mr. Speaker," and the din of the Speaker's hammer, the so called privileged resolution was carried, and the resolutions of impeachment were taken up from the calender, and in thirty minutes the Governor stood forth spotless and triumphant ! The moral to be derived from this comedy, is that too many of the Legislature have shared in the spoils of public plunder ever to expect an honest verdict at their hands against the high officials of the State ; and if ever the people get redress or condign punish merit visited upon tlie heads of their plunderers, redress must come and pun ishmeni .be inflicted through channels outside of and in no way connected with the present Legislature of South Caro lina. Very respectfully, yours. L. W. - ' Tub Camden Journal says : Mr. R J. Donaldson, plaintiff in the case against Messrs. W. E. Johnson and W. D.
