_ . Tu? Governor Tillman ha? been greatly inerosed nt roai? recent pubtieaiioos in rhr .. Slat* relative to h ? sale of cows to the lunatie asylum, his expenditures out of (be contingent fund for the governor'* mansion, or bis roturn rf bis property for taxation. One or all if these pnhlicat una has pot lit ? ^ Kxcollency in a rage in c n*c<|iicuce if which be "line religiously made up hi* triad" loheroafitr cut The Stat* off from receiving any nrvrs fioin himself But he dotl not alnn there save n?ucd orders to his fol oners to do likewise. K!se why did Kpraker Jones with- 0 hold from The State a co>y of the pr eceding* of the subcommittee of the Male Fzoctill ve committee? The manner t>f the sj c<kera refusal is as discreditab'o to him as ilie r act itself?purpo-ely deceiving the reporter in reference to the matter. It was a very small pipe* of spi e?very email ?on Speaker Jonee' part especially. I krrw. by reason or an investigation oy tho body over which ho presided, tint the rules for the primary would tearh three timet more Democrats through The St-ilc thantlirough ths lle<ji?ftr\ so tlint withholding them front The Shite wna withholding thom from Toe Sl<ile't renders, who were entitled to ihero, and to whom an unpaitman committee would lutvo been anxious to convey them. Hut bicture of personal | ique, or because of orders from headquarters, an attempt wan made to keep tho rulcn < f the primary out of the haudn of a large and respectable portion of the parly for whom the rules were intended. "Public ofhes is a privet i snap," in tho Intent pha-o of political philosophy. It is to u?o official positions for personal ends. Whether Senator Jrby and Dr. Pope, tho other members of tho sub-committee, were concerned in thin piece of nnmll busmen, we do not know; in the nhnrnoo of any fnforntnt>o*i, we presume not. Now to Gov. Tidruan'n indignation. Wan there any just cause for it? What the State 8<id in thin connection in copic I on tho first page of this issue, nnd the rculcr may see and judge for himself whether there was anything to get nind about. Was it because the public whs i> formed Ilint ho h?u Mold twolvc co?h to the lunntin ( asylum for $ 142.If)It was irti?j ami the people had a right. to know it nud lo form thrir own opinions about i's property. Tim ' 01/servir docs not hesitate to ray ilia', in its t opinion, while it docs not believe tline wm ( any "job" in the sale, it was not a proper trans ictiou, in view if the fuel I bat III" Guvcrni# bas the nbsnlutu ami innesti ieteil ( poser to appoint ami remove at pleasure every officer connucteil with I tie ostium, from tbe supcrinlcnilciii to tbo humblest meni ?<.

It c ubl hardly be I that: for the Governor himself furnished I'm t item? to the coinptio ler ire ierol lo ho publishe 1 in h a annual rep rl. fiom wli eli Vhr Stair c?pie?l them. The Governor said in his speoch at Newberry in IH'.H) that lie in tcnilcil lo iicommcinl that the legislitoic have leu thousand lopies of the comptrollers i report priuteil for distrilmti m nninu; the , people, so tlint they could * e whertihcr mottoy went, lie did not reeommcii I it i?

I ' Hon V tlow ihcn onn he object to crit cisms of Gov. Tillman's expend lures. Wu' il lieouise Ids veiurn of property taxst <>n was published? lie bus no riglu to < hjcct to that. Tux returns are public records, which any citizen tuny examine or any newspaper may publiidi. We are inc ine I to believe it would be a poo I piiin to publish nil titx returns, nml thus let the people seo who arc shifting their tthuro of the public burden. lsiib'cause ilte puMioa'i >11 of his tax reluroH reveals the laol that the (Inventor is no "poor farmer,' but the owner of 1 ,H'.m br ad acres ?

At the proper lime 1 charged the ,e treaeurer up with additional blanks I found il- in the office, rending an abetract of the acme ,j to the comptroller general at Columbia. A few dajre, perhaps a we**k, tef re the con p>n iroller general was Io come up to make the re sett lenient wi'li the treasurer, I commenced n- to straighten IK '',e o^ice and get up the r. necessary blanks f?r the settlement. Induing so I came aof ss a package ?f nddiiional r" blanks. Knowing that i bad put tho ones ,c away which had previously been chargvd to ig tho treasurer.
