A concurrent resolution waspassed. re quiring the State Financial Committee to report on Thursday next. Resolution to require the State Tr ea surer to withdraw the unsigned bonds of the State from the American Bank Note Company, to be held subject to the order of the General Assembly, was adopted.

Mr. Hayne- Bill to make appropria tions for the mileage and per diem of the members of the General Assembly, and die salaries of tho subordinate officers, ind other expenses incident thereto. V New Statement of the State Debt. The Columbia correspondent of thc Charleston Com-icr, under date of De cember 1, says : The report.of the Joint Special Inves tigating Committee is in course of pro paration, and will be rendered hi about ten days. The committee report the c.ut - binding debt of the State at $20,855.000 in round numbers. This is made up a* "ollows: Total amount of'Tbo'nds printed -.22,540,000; deduct for sterling fund, *>,000.000; deduct destroyed, 85?O.000; deduct not yet issued, ?1,000,000 ; deduct not yet signed, $850,000-$8,350,000. Total amount of new debt, $14,1!)0,000 ; add old debt of thc State, $0,005,000-total present State debt, $20,855,000 An amount con siderably in exc ess ol" debt as heretofore stated. ' These figures aro in round numbers and what thc committee will report. The committee say that a great many bonds are not yet accounted for, and must be considered an outstanding liability. The entire committee seem to be of the opin ion that thc immense increase arises from the speculations of the State House, and that they will denounce mern in their report. What aro you going to do aboutit? Ansicer that. Tho Couria' says : Wc call special attention to our tele graphic despatch, published this morn i ag, from Columbia. By this, it appears hut the special investigating committee if the Legislature have prepared, and .viii soon present, their report. They declaro thc outstanding debt (excluding che sterling loan bonds, of $0,000,000 in Lie hands of the American Bank Note Company,) at $20,855,000. We are gradually arriving at the truth. ?"hey show that a large number of the Kinds ont are unaccounted for. The en tre committee concur in the opinion mat a large portion of the public debt ..as been missapplicd for purposes ol speculation.. The committee is composed entirely of Republicans. All honest men viii c immend every effort made by the Re publican party itself to expose the frauds and their perpet?tor.s,jmd. thusl&ustain public rightand justice. The odium has been fastened upon th em by" men of their own party. They bave a high pnblie duty to perform in bring ing to justice those on whom the respon sibility rests, and thus proclaim on the side of right. Cardozo still refuses to attach his name to any more bonds. There are but two parties now-those who oppose and those who defend fraud and wrong. USB* Immigration is needed in South Carolina. Individual effort can accom plish nothing.

This week, again, we issue a large F up plement, and upon it-our readers will rind Gov. Scott's new Message-a wrig-: Kling, twisting, untruthful, ungenerous, malicious, selfish, little-minded affair. Two Knights with Spear and Mince ! C. C. Bowen and H. P. Wh i Memore ! These two notorious individuals are again attracting public attention. Bower, after his perils in tho imminent deadly breach of bigamy, and his hairbreadth escape ?therefrom, has quietly resigned the con^ tested sent in Congress to the negro De Large, and joyfully accepted a seat in tho State Legislature. He is now a member from Charleston. To bring this about, one Hardy, a member of the delegation, resigned and left .aplace open for the slippe*yJBowen td slip;?n. Ho took his, seat last week in the face of strong oppo sition, and forthwith ^announced; that he should deal rigorously" with ail who had -, committed frauds against the State. As for WhiMemore, the other knight, who is Senator from Darlington, and who, j like Bowen, was expelled from Congress ? for evil deeds, he declares that he ha<r evidence to bring the public plunderers . very low. And that he is determined to drag them down without mercy. Quake,therefore, Messrs. Scott, Par ker, Kimpton, <fec, for powerful foes aie' arising against you iii your own house hold. '.. This Man Kiroptm. A scummy fellow seems to be tbis[mah Kimpton, about whom so much is said and sung just now. He is the "Financial Agent" of the State, and lives and steals in New York City. New York is the sceno of his operations, but it is tho peo ple of South Carolina from whom he steals. In former and more honest days wo do not remember that there was such a State official as Financial Agent. And this man Kimpton makes no Report to tte Comptroller-General, as he is requir ed by law to do. And the Comptroller General complains of this to the Legisla ture And notwithstanding this, the Governor, in his message, refers the Leg islature to Kimpton's report for Septem ber 30th, 1871 to tho Comptroller-Gene ral. Of course he knew perfectly well no such report had been made. This man Kimpton has been in Colum bia for several days since the meeting of | the Legislature, but departed leaving no report behind him. Gov Scott, Treas urer Parker, and General Dennis, who buys the curtains and carpets for the State House, make the State .Debt some times $9.000.000 ; sometimes $12.000.000: sometimes $15.000.000. But what do all these lies amount to until Kimpton tells his lie? What says Kimpton? Is it 9,12,15,p, or 25, millions. . Whero did they get Kimpton? We should like to know more about him. He does not seem to be a fool. While steal ing for Scott, according to Scott's, instruc tions, he seems to be also feathering his own nest. Which is the scummier fellow of the two-Scott or Kimpton ? The Anti-Grant Independent Pre?i dential Ticket. There is ? strong party in the North and in the West who-Republicans though they be-see. that Grant and the spoils men under hirrf' must be got rid bf, or the country will be clean ruined. This party in the West is led by Carl Schurz, Gratz Brown, and Senator Trumbull. In the North it is led by Horace Creely, Thurlow Wood, Ben. Butler, C. A. Dana, and others. A prominent and powerful Democrat said to be in strict ace ?rd with these leaders, is Montgomery Blair. lt ls saut tnat these politicians, and many others of equal note, are to niec1 soon in secret council in Philadelphia, Baltimore ^ior ^Harrisburg.. And thai Senators Sumner and Wilson of Massa chusetts will also each have a finger in thc pie, but will not be present on thc momentous occasion. The object of this extraordinary assemblage is to arrange a programme for this Congress to head off j Gen. Grant and unite the Republicans opposed to his nomination upon some .reneral plan of operations. And the most probable plan is supposed to" bc this. Th?se anti-Grant Republicans are to come forward with an independent Presidential ricket, nominating some ablet moderate Republican whom the ! k'triccrai^y might 1- .; educed to take up, mid then bring up to i*s support the whole strength of thc latter party, with all the loose materials nf thc country, and sweep thc field in 1872. But will thc Democratic party take hold of this matter. The result of this year's Rate elections including New Vork, the Democratic citadel and base ol operations, shows that the Democratic party, as a national organization, is to day in a decided minority. In such a ease, if these anti-Grant Republicans, with their just and moderate candidate, could make us-see the thing, why not let us-at least open a parley with them ? p?r Burke's Magazine for Boys and Girls is published monthly by J.

For the Advertiser. MR. EDITOR: Supposing Editors to' know all things, we take the liberty of propounding to you one or two ques tions, for the benefitof a few Tax-Payers of this County : and as you are either at or near Head-Quarters, and thc tim?is short from now until thr* loth January 1872, tho last day? of grace for payimr Taxes for thc year 1871, wo uesiro you will give us an answer through the-4cf vertiser at a?? early ?day- as your conve nience will admit of. Under tho old State constitution, we were allowed from four to six months in which to pay the Taxes for the year past, or, in other words, the Taxes for the year 1871. would not be called for before April or May 1872, aud if paid by first July no penalty would be attached. But through thc irrace of a G?n?ral Assembly, composed principally of negroes, we aro now al. lowed .fifteen days. If the taxes are not then paid, the property of the white peo ple will be sold to pay them, and State Bonds taken in payment for said lands thus sold. So sa3's Gov. Scott. Now we desire to know if John Woolly, the Treasurer of this County will take State Bonds for State Taxes for 1871. If so, of what date,, and of what kind, as so many are now being issued. Wo desire to know the exact kind. Also, if Mr. Wool ly has commenced taking County Scrip for County Taxes, from persons, outside of the Rin<r, at par. He had not com menced this at last accounts. As the State Bonds are worth 28 to 35 cents in ihe Dollar, and County Scrip from 20 to 50 cents in tho Dollar, we should like to avail ourselves of the opportunity of speculating on a small scale; just suffi xac-nt ituKtst TO par cm* Taxes ohlhc 14th January 1872, as we arc afraid the motley crew at Columbia will begin to accuse ridgefield of being disloyal if they do not get their pay soon. Wc do not like to try your patience, Mr. Editor, but we have still another question for you to answer. -There has been but ouc session of Court in Edircficld this year, although it is said wo areontW?od to threesessions, und thrre v.c k" nt each Tenn. Who arc to blnm* for tins shortcoming? Who [mt theoflkv'. sof thc County, thc Sherill', thc Clerk, tho Jury Commissioner, and the County Commissioners, all Radicals? Was it not their duty, if not their inter est, to have had a lawful Jury drawn and summoned? Two Terms passed and nothing dono! Taxes ought to be con siderably reduced! Can you give us any 'Infinite idea of a time when '.he Courts of Sessions will sit again? Aro tho Thieves all to go without day, just because the Radicals want their votes again next October? We have been reliably informed that the Taxes of this County for IMO, am?unt ed to over Oue Hundred Thousand Dol lars. Mr. Woolly ouj-ht to have a largo amount of this money now on hand, and in all probability he has, it ho hus not invested it in real estate. Thc indebted ness of the County is increasing every day, and if there is not some check put upon the officials, this indebtedness will not fall far short of Two Ilundn L Thou sand dollars by the first of October 1*72. Although Gov. Scott talks about retrench ment 'oe knows the Radicals in office are dotcii.?ned to follow his example. Get all they can and keep nil they get, law folly or unlawfully ! Have not our poo ple had sufficient evidence of this fact? What more do they want? As thc Ad vertiser has always stood up forlhc right, 'jive u? light. We are in the dark and half scared about the Message of His Excellency, Gov. Scott. Wc hoar it is over a yard loug ! And thc Taxpaye rs are iii rebellion throughout the State. ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
