dednesday. April 26, 181. Cotton States Life Insurance CompaZy. We take pleasure in calling the atten t.ion of our readers to the card to be found in this issue relating to the above named company, one of the most popu lar and fairest in its dealings now in op-2 ration. One of its chiefest merits is that it is a Southern company and identi. tied with the interests of the South. ern people, and as such has peculiar claims. The company, as will bo seen by advertisement, has added the Tontine system of dividends to its other plans, any information desired will be prompt ly given by addressing either Mr. W. J. L-Lval, at Golumbia, or M. W. Abney, M. D., at Edgefield. The Columbia Union. The editor and proprietor of the Daily Union of Golumbia, is now issuing a Weekly paper, and promises "to devote it to the material interest of South Car olins," and "not to offensive partizan ship." This is eminently right, and we hope Mr. Carpenter will make it such. A-ide from its peculiar polities, and wore particularly the di;po,ition so eagerly manifested to catch at and disseminate broadcast every idle and vicious repoi t which the unprincipled get up, the Daily Union is ably edited and managed, and Nhowsan indnstry in gathering news, which makes it in the main very inte e,ting, and the same energy and tact be stowed on the Weekly, will make it as readable as the be-t. Thee are excep tions to all general rules, and thercfore, all is not fair in war. Tht% Adtertiftr TkiuS Ob 1ore Sail. The Edgefield Advertiser is in it Thirty-Sixth year, and this week it ap pear before its honored patrons, e-large< by four columns, and stamped through out with the impress of bran new type Instead of Thirty-two, as heret-fore, th< Advertiser has now Thirty-Six col ums and, as regards externals, thi o:d sheet is as fresh and bright a: the green leaves of Spring. Piide foi our paper, for our District, and for oui people, says the editor, impels us to thi. enlargement and improvement. We sa' no inore, but simply express the hop( that as the Advertiser grows, so nia the love of our people grow with it at.e around it. If this be the case we shal be satisfied ; nay more, gra:iied beyond expression. Good, very good. The Xay Convention. / o v'icw of thre Convention to be heki in Columbhia, a number of gentlement hr.eedo:terchanged views on the situa tion wi:th the-Governor. The discussion: on thfiaces, sterlinrg fond bill, the convention, and taxation was long. It was agreed, -says the News, "that the convention would be productive of good, provided it (lid not partake of a political - or partizan character, and the hope was ~czpressed that such would be the case, -endthat'the body would confine itself strictly to the purposes for which it is convened." We believe that this hrope 'ds entertained generally, and that the body will meet and temrpe,ately discuss the questions as u vderstood] in the plan * whica suggested a convention. Th'e Co lumabia Union belie"es "that before it has been in session txvo hours, renlui tions or speeches wili be offered or mzadr, denouncing Radicals, Repuh!!canismr,etc., andl calling upon the people to ri.e ini . their mright and drive the intruders fromi the State." The Union wi!! be mistaken. Partizan feeling and polities i:,troducedl into the G,onvention wou'd dlestr"y its main object, in fettering its usefulness. The abandoned coursc of the L'gi,1atuore, its r>igate waste, shared by a!!, or -:da;!r all of the offiials who have beern able to get a finger in the commnon pie; theo enormous taxes ; all these and more haive brought the pe'ple to thinik that it is time they were looking tmare coe into affairs, which so seriously a ff. ct the omnmon well-being. And! to mrake ar inrvestigation is their s-demn right. Thi, :rnvestigattion, intelligent mrinds of the State understand, is the object of th.e presec:t mieeting of del--g,t-:s from eac:h of 'he Coun:i:-s.

Sont The Charleston News of the 19th con t.a;ns an almost verbatin report of th language of Gov. Scott, en the financita and general condition, the more import ant because it is the first expression o official opinion that has been heard ii the present crisis. Each question a propounded wns answered by Gov. Scot frankly and squarely, and ,how that the, had b:en thoughtfully considered. Wan of spare alone prevents tis piresentin, this report to our readers, and we giv (1nl1y a few extracts. In regard to tl. action of the Board of Trade, and th, feeling of the people as to taxation State debt, and the corrupt Legislature the Govern-er saH: "I am free to say that, in my judg ment, the disturbed condition of the pub lie mind results from a mi-apprehensioi of our financial affairs. Either with ; view to iinj-ire the credit of the State o to achieve personal objects-perhaps po litical in character-certain individual have sought to make it appear that th, State debt has been largely increased b: the present adnnisitration. Such is no the fact, and I propose to show the wh and Aheref-ore. Fii-t, the act of th Legislature of ISI auth rized the fund ing of the bills ,f the lank or ;he Stat into State bnds. 'That I do tiot regar as an increase of the deb)t, but merely a a change in tie fM M of an old debt, th co-:rts having deited that the State vta unqtiestionably liable fur these bills. S muich, then, k inot elhrgeable to this ad ministi ation. Secondly, in the reorganti zation of the government, it was ase tained that a large amoutit cf. r.t du intercst and other claims I-,ad*accumt lated and were unpaid. Co mieet thes obligations the Igislature authorize the issue of a .lion of bonds. It wi he seen, hy reference to the law, ho% theso uonds were to be negotiated. aird!v, a debt existed which had bee created by the issue of hills receivahI inmediatlv ift,:r the war. T::ey, to, had to be provided1 for, or rather, retire' aind an additional i-suc of five hun:'r. thousard dollars' wor th f bomids wa made for this purpose. Fourthly, ic wn ascertained, during the regular s*.,sioTn 1SG-'G), that even ith this assistanet Sit was i:npossib!e, at the low price . which the bonds were selling, to tE 'the liabilities which existed-debts, b) te way, that had not been created b this adminivtration. The issue of a imi lion more of bonds was. tberefore, :in thorized, for the relivf of the treasuri The sum total %as then two on;lion fiv hundred thousand dollars. Finally, ti net providing for the organization of th 1at.d commission called for seven hur dred thousand dollars more of bond and thus the total issues, since 18W, amount to three tnillion two hund:e thousand doiars. Now, of these bond. according to the last report of tile finar cial agent, at New York, about one nmi lion of dollars have t-en placed upo the iarket, leaving a balance of twcntv two hundred thousand dollars in I hands. You will see from this statemen tha:t there is no f-undatiun wha'ever f the runors which have obtained curreu ey and can readily understand why,i conseqluence of those t un,ors, our seeu ties htve been depressed. and the cre : of the State seriously itjuired." Antd on the question: of taxation "With a prope'r undler,tanding of th subject-that is, taking into conide-r tion the agZregate of the three levies tax which~have been tmade-the peopi would have no cause to conmplain. F instance, ir.

Can see no reason why such tnen may not in the future rise above these e petty considerations, and unite with the 11 Republican party, in correcting what ever evils may exist in the nianagenent of the affairs of the Governuient. A large majority are Republicans at heart. The chief issues of the Democratic party .ire absorbed in the fourteer.tii and fIf tenth amendments to the constitution, or are sett.led by the war. Only a nime di vides the two parties." On the question of minotity represen tati n, he.says: "It must be patent to every one that a majority, unchecked and untrammelled, may, by le-gis'ation, do an infinite aiount f harm, and that the only mode by which the evil can be limited, and great er purity in the administration of aMiTirs he secured in any Cornnonwealth. is by allowirg -.he minority to have a rer sentation corresponding with iiir strength.
