Thi report, the Charleston JicpuUican pr< pents to its readers, with comment explanatory and inferential?givin poiut and edge to the alleged fact! and clinching its conclusions.

Ic is to the interest of thrs men to convoy the impression thsi there is a reign of lawlessness an anarchy throughout the State?thii erimcs of every sort aro rife, and tha thoro is no security for person an property. Hence tho Chief Const: Ho in his report piles up the rocor of crime, and the Republican make part}* capital out of it, hy charging i all upon Democratic aiders and abc tors.

The statements mayor may; l'? j not bo true, and there certainly bus I e"luot been anything in the antecedents| 11 of Kepublicjwi officials which would; 1 j load us to attach any greater trust-j I worthiness to the document, from the i fact that it hears the ofiH-ial imprhna-( ,uw yi v_ift 11*1 v^onstablo Hubbard, liut; [concede that all the arrests, and fur, j the crimes stated, have been made; j ir ithey might easily be increased tenfold . : without its proving anything against; n the good order and law-abiding charj actor of our people, llow have aril rests been made in Abbeville?

The great objection to this bill is that it has been lobbied through the House, in the interest of . a set of speculators, who have bought up the Slate bills at 15 ecnts on the dollar, and exchanged them lor bonds at par. 1 The bill for increasing tho salaries f I of the Supreme Court J udges to $1,-11 500 and the Circuit Judges to 81,000,'? has passed.
