THE WATCHMAN WEDNESDAY? DEC.6. A, A. GEBERT.EDITOR 'lite Last. Resort. On motlier column will beToand a Circular, addressed by Gens. HAMPTON BUTLER arid others to Col. J. D. BLAND INC and by thc latter directly presented t<> all interested. Hon. REVERDY JOHNSON, Ex-At torrey Gen. STANBSRRY, of Ohio, and Judge BARRETT, or New York, have as?, med the defence o? the Ka Kiaz prisoners now arraigned at Columbia, and will carry the coijstitutional'question involved to the Supreme Court of the Uuited States. It has been determined to tender these eminent lawyers S5,000 each a* a consideration for their services Ot'thij amount Sumter is called on for 81000. We trust it will be promptly raised, and that those gentlemen whose aid has been invoked in thc matter, viii proceed at oace to collect the amount. It is the last" legal resort of an op? pressed people. If there be any vitali? ty left in the constitution of our fathers, thoe cases will develop it ; and it is eminently the duty of our people, to themselves and to their children, to make this effort is defence of their liberties. If co"ustirutioual protection bj clean gone, thc failure of this effort will si.ow the fact to the world; and in truth will thc American people (North as well as South) be treading fast the road to anarchy. A*..d the sooner this question is determined the better. Thc Slble for ibo Blind. The American Bible Society has at great expense, prepared the entire Bible, i i raided Inters i n the Blind. It is pub? lished in eight ?tnj sixteen folio vol? umes. T:.e actual cost of the former is twenty dollars, and of the latter tweurj-eight dvilrra, at which prices t!>e sets are sold. The New Testament may be had either in two or four vol? umes, cesting respectively five and seven dollars. The I'.sairus constitute a siugle volume, which is sold for one dollar and a half. The stereotype plates, from which this magnificent book is primed, cost ttiesum of thirteen thousaud dollars; and thc Society has already prepared, at'd put into circulation, in the Uuited States, ovci seven thousand volumes of it, in <;reat part gratuitously, inasmuch as the Blind, as a class, are unable to pur? chase. This department of the Society's work impressively illustrates its benevolent character. ii would bc impossible to es t?mate the blessings that have atteuded its distribution of the Scriptures among thu Blind ; and the most effecting testi mouy might be cited to the comfort and joy produced by this instrumentality. In its efforts to seater these precious volumes among a class so grjatly afflic ted, snd a huge majority of whom are poor, the Society can surely depend on the hearty and geuerous co operation of its fricadd.

And yet again : The much-married Bowen, manipulate? his way to a seat in ihe lowrr house, and his first otter* nnee charges that the State has been rolfed of S7,0?0,C00, and that if there be virtue i'i bis zeal, the culprits % h a II bt brought to justice.

Secretary of State Cardoza refuses to de? liver any more Bonds unless the Trea? surer informs him for what use they are Intended-The Question to be Tested in tlie Court. [Special Telegram to the Conner.] COLUMBIA, November SO. There was a new development of the bond muddle to day, which will brng thc matter into conrt. Cardoza, the Secretary of State, is the custodian of the State bonds. He hos been in the habit of deliveiing them to Treasurer PARKER on demaud. To-day PARKER sent for more bonds, which Cardoza refused to deliver up until informed of the purpose for which they were inten? ded to be used. PARKER claims that Cardoza's custody is merely perfunctory, and that he is obliged to deliver up on demand. Both parties agreed to test the matter, and the question will, therefore, be brought before the Supreme Conrt. Canicza will be represented by C. D. MEETON, Esq., PARKER by D. H. CHAMBERLAIN, Attorney-General. Cordoza, in th* meantime, refuses to deliver any mor: bonds, or attach thejeal of the Stat i thereto. What the Tribune Thloka ofOur Bob* bera. The base iosult ef the New York Iribnne correspondent, ss commente,! upon by us last week, is somewhat atoned for by the following pointed acd forcible exposure of the ring of robber - who infest this State. Sach licks tell, and will do much toward encouraging and strengthening the movement nov on foot to bring the shameless rogues to justice : We hare already helped to bring to light the misdeeds of some men io high places in Texas, Georgia, North. Caro? lina and elsewhere, and on yesterday gave the public a sorry picture ot thc resulta of carpet-bag rule in South Caroline.What a shameful exhibit it is By juggling with figures and manipulat? ing artfully contrived tables, a ring o ' adventurers kept the people of South Carolina as completely in the dark abou the finances ol tbe State as though their fabe returns had been printed ir San&crit, They prophesied smooth tilings while the ship was drifting into the whirlpool of bankruptcy. They lied about the condition of the treasury re? gularly, and at fixed intervals, with sll the system of practiced mountebanks. Bonds w<re printed in New York by the ream and sold in Wall street for what they woiud fetch. A so-called State ageit, a street broker, handled millions of th? se bonds', ? it hoot giving a shadow of responsible security for th? integrity of i.is dealings. The Governor, Trea? surer and Comptroller-General vied with ?".?h other in fabricating statements in teuded for the public eye. while the real facti* ami figures in the dr*peratt case were kept in thc secrecy of their own offices. There seemed to bc no such thing as mounding bottom in the wild stream which rushed out of the State Trea.-ury. An investigating committee, appointed Ly the frightened Legislature, came up to New York to look info the finances ol the Stute, which had no ap? parent existence outside of Wall street; and these gentlemen turned their tour iutoa holiday trip, and relaxed the stern justice of their intent into a wild junket? ing ut au up-town hotel. But the end has come at last. The fabric of I'alxeiiond hu? collapsed . the public credit in moribund. The people I have been deceived ?? long as poaaible, and. after such statements a* $7,000.000 debt in 11*70. and $0,500.000 in . ept< m bT, 187 1. we grasp the astounding fact that on the?Oth November, 1871. South Carolina owed the enormous ?um vf 315 806 9U$. Here ia a State made financially bankrupt by mere speculators in polities. What punishment ?hall overtake the plunderers who, within a very few days, have been whitewashing each other? Certain it is that their guilt is aj clearly determined as that of our own municipal banditti, whose addaoity -o much resembles theirs. We are heartily ?ick of the sentimental attempts of "party managers" to cover1 up the corruption, dishonesty and ex t ra v agr noe nf the Carpet-hag govern? ments. Thc plea that exposure of these j frauds wi? injure the Republican parly is os wicked us it ia silly. Better, s ! thousand times, that the party be r as J oder, than that any crime for wh it cm be justly held responsible eove red np in its own hot No party can long lire with si a caticer concealed in its bosom. ] the party is not responsible for the < minai dishonesty?of a few officials v bear its name ; though it would be jus held to strict account it it should accessory to any attempt at conccalm of the offences to which we have cal attention. We are glad that i; is late lo soreen the rascalities which hi been perpetrated in the Carolinas. 1 have fully exposed and denounced th? cunning thefts, sad leave the issue w the courts and the publio, more th ever convinced that this is special]; time for letting in the light into dz places, and bringing rogues everywhi to righteous punishment. Blan lal Law to be Extended-Sta rill Propositions. Subjoined is a special telegram fri Wellington, printed in Wednesda New York Tribune. Its propositit are certainly startling. The statemt of facts, it will be perceived, are cab lated to prepare the public mind I the measures suggested, and intend prc bi bl j to educate up to that point. Th ?ai in turn furnish a new illustrai i of i:h ? easy downward course after t first departure has been taken from t true principles ot rightful governmcti WASHINGTON, November -8.-It belie ced that the President w refer, in hi? Message lo Congress, th? operations against the Ku Klux South Carolina, and the startling dev opnients that have resulted there. His recommendations on the subjc will be few, but will doubtless embra a suggestion that thc power to suspei the writ of hubeas corpus, which, by t provisions of the Ku Klux law czpir with the coming session of Congre be ea fended one year. The Attora General has in his possession lette and other evidence that while the h Klus have suspended operations for tl present in South Carolina, they a proposing to make it hot for the radica next summer, before the election If the power is extended, it will ha* the effect of preventing the partly sra< thercd embers of Ku Kluxisin fro bursting again into a blaze. The tria now n progress io Columbia may su; gests some other modification of the la that may be necessary to give it its fa effect. Une of these points to whic the t resident may refer in his Messaj is thu fact that the law confined tl suspension of tbe writ of luibeas corp; to tbs districts in which the conspir?t becomes so formidable ai to be beyon the control of the State authorities literal construction of the law exemp from its operations those members < the Ku Klux who flee from their hom? and i re arrested in other States, or i other parts of the same States, and th recommendation that will be made wi be that the writ of kabcas corpus t suspended, so far as it efiec s pcrsot guilty of Ku Klux outrage?, in a dh trict covered by a proclamation of ti President, wherever in the Unite States they may be found 'fha Adorne General has sent to Mr. Chamberlaii Attorney General of South Carolin) a commission empowering him to a<*t s the tissociate of the District Attorney i prosecuting tbs Ku Klux cases in C< lumbia. The friends of snd sympathi zers with the prisoner?, not only i South Caroline, but in other States, ha? cont '?buted large sums of money to pa I for their defence. A single subset ip tion raised in s neisrhbering Stat amounted to about $3.000. - .._ II IE GRAND DIKE AT A BALL. HOW HB TREATS HIS PARTNER.
