The Columbia .Corrosp-orrdi'nt 6f the News and CoufIr recently had '.an interview with Treasnror-Cardoza. As it was of considerable length we give the most intIoT'.ing portiole of 'it. Correspoik1en6t. 'In the first ' Iato I would be glad to know if your recent visit to New York was upon businers connected with your -oflico, and if so, what business I Una is . I have nothing whatever 'to do %, ith any speoulation in State tinourities, and my recent trip to Now *York was purely on account of my - own privateo ffaira. t orkrespondent. 'Is theso anything doing in our State bonds in Now -York ? (Jardozo. Nothing 'whatever, as 'far as 1 could learn. The State's credit- is entirely gone, and' the bonds arre as flat as they can be. I do not think there are any nales of our bonds at all. No one aomfles to buy them ovo at the low figures at whiolk they are-quoted, and the holdersaIto Aim ply keeping them in the hopb tirat something mnay turn up by which they -amay be able to realize eonething for 't-hem. Cor. What is Kimptbn 'f1dink as 'financial agent of the Stdte'? Have 'you any dealings \vith him ? Cardoszo. There ha. been no-bu.si. ness done between Mr. 'kimpton and myself. So far as my administration 'is concerned, he has nothing to do with the finances of the State. lie -has no bonds of the State, or at least 'claims to have none. Cor. What has he done with the -bonds purohased on account of lhe .Sinrkinrg fund, the agricultural col. logo scrip, arind tire ai.. hundred, thousanid dollars tif -the 'bonds of thle Blue -Ridge IRailrond, whloh he held 'for the State ? Cardozo. My information is that every oe of them was hypothcoated, for loans maaade in Parker's tein, and. the whole of the one hundrdd and ninety-one thounand 'dollata 'In the bonds of tho Stato, in Which the agri. 'cultural landascrip, was invested, to. gethr with the two hiundred thou. s..nd dollars of bonds purohased with -the proceedsof the sales of tire assets "of the State by the sinking fund con tuibsion arertdtdl o1A to th'o -State, unless the ollicials who'illega'ly d'is. posed of thou can be hold personally responsiblo. (ior. Well, 51r. Cardozo, there Is another matter abont whIch i Wtonild be glad to ham some explanation] from you. Can you tell we why it is 'that you have no money to defray the current expenses of the government I It is very easy to account for the want of money in the treasury to :speak in round number.i, t aM -a'llod upon to pay $2f5o0,000 of claims ag.ainst tie State with but a little over hnlf thrat amount in the treasur) 'to do it. with. llere, said the treasu~rer 'handing mie a-paper, am tihe itemited 'arppropriationsu for the current fiscal .yourr.

'1'he tdtal which you soo there rolire~nits thre appropriation merely for thre cnrrent fiseal year. ]lesidos this, tnhere wasi a dlefeienoy arising (romn thre non-payment of the actual appropriations of last year, amnounting to $691,396. Thie agg~ro. gpto, therefore of' the appropriatonrs which I was called upon to pay was within a fraction of $2,500,000, or In other words, $1,727,470 and $691,. 896. To r'aise this a'nount a tax of twelve mills was levied, which any one can sed is toltI y inndequate UPON a taxable basis of $ l60,O00,000 which ian extreme figure to be relied uponI as the property of the State as at p resent assessedJ. My receipts have b een so far, as follows, and the treasurer handed me anotther papor whbich showed thre receipts from all sources from beocmber 1, 1872, to tJne 30, 1873, to amount to $1,630,. 927 l8. Cor. Thlere will be a latge do. fieey then, Mr, Cardoao, for the Geanoral Assembly to provide for next year ? Card oso. Yes, sir, of oorurse, there wrill bed Cor. Itow much beve you paid on hest year's deficiceies ? Cardoszo. I havn't tire figure. pro. cisehy, but it is about *700,000. Cor. That loft you about $900,. 000 to meet this year's appropriations there wlli consequently be about *800,000 deficionoies from this year's appropriations.. Cardozo. Yes, it would sprpear so and perhaps ought to be so, bnt the fact is that I have paid tire printing and other claims. for whioh apnroania. tions wore made this year, though the services were perform. ed lost, out of the deficienoy tax, us I conceived it proper to do. These clhin amounted to something like $.100,000, and consequently the defl oiency for this year will be -400,000 instoa'd of $8oo,0d0, add thero will be about $400,0'00 of the old -de'oienoy still remail'g. It vla, robbing Potor to pay Paul, but of ocurso it is all thosamo to the State. 'Correspoud6M-. How have you Leon makink *6nr paymedts goner ard o. Well, I have paid all tlio sataries, I think, 'imp to the e6d of tie second quartep, the 30th April. Ihave 'paid the Lunaltic Asylum, penitentiary, &c., up to about lot June, and upon all other aippropria tions proportionally as noarly as I could. Ou ace uut of Idst"or'ri de loiences I have pat'd the satfica'very nUIrly in full, 'ie 'Lhuntio Asylum entirely, tho'Dauf, Dumb and blind and the State Orphan Asylu:ns- earlv in full ; to the l'enitentiary I have: paid $45,000 "or nie 'f the twelve warrant whibh were otit. 'Ydu know three of thein had been put upon the mmarket by Governor Scott without'auy authority of law. For the deoieoy in last year's public subool appropria. (ion I have paid about $80,000. Correspondent. low is that t Was thoro not an appropriation of $300,000, and I thought you paid foarly all the regular appropriations lh fullI bar'doto. So I haven zt. 'twlough 'tllore'was an -appropriation of $300, 000 there was 'only about $100,000 expemded 'br ''ontractod to be paid 'ft foar dl a&6hut o tbe publio Achools.

Wednesday Morning, July 0, -174. *W-jCorrespondence solicited from oveary seotion of the country. Our coelumanis are open to all for a free illsousaion of any principlo, theory or idea, but we are in tab wwy-rospofisiblo ft mi viewS er opinilons of borrespondeui's. TFir.i in Baltfinore.

Iot us prove ourselves not only willing 'but anxious to repay it 15iit 'ubl lien. The presenee in our midst of the fallant Georgian, Gen. John B. Gor dan, suggests 'the 'Winh tht ofl our putblite men should, like hoimi, be not only "without fear," but without "reproach.' His noble ecanmple of spotless putity lit th'e midst of the venality, fraud and corru'ption which have fixed their stamp upon the times, stands like a beacon upon the hill ttp to guide others in the way be has moved. Upon our- profebsiobal men does it peculiarly devolve to see that, while puratting their paths to fame and fortune, these pathus shall lead through the broad and whole some sunshine. Let them too ace tc it that no temptation to private gain) seduce thtlm inlto forgettillnbss of the rights and interests of our dear but unfortunate old State. The brood 01 foul barpies which has settled upoc her to plunder and dellle, should nev. er be able to boast the aid and coun. tenanco of the talent and respeota, bility of her oltd t-egime, and the good people of hoer borders shoulk never be mado to feel that they hav< been robbed and oppresied througl the agency of those Whom they hav< loved tohonor. As our lawyers and publie men constitute,{very properly the leading class in every eomnmu nity, the grave respotisIbility 01 direetlng publio sentiment int< pure and healthy channels reatm upon them-let them then scorn al: fawning syoophano.y and despuiab al~ induea'ment to selfish advantcement when made at the expense of the public good, and by cultivating all elevation and nobility of oharactm and purpose, make an honorable and lasting impression upon the times ftr whieh they live. laterdeow with ttie State Treasurr-Du. tgv of the Attorniey-General, ln another column will be founc &n lnterebug interview between thl oorrespondent of the News and Con rier and the State Treasurer. Thiu interviEw elietted nothing calculated to raise thme hopes of the taxpayers. Tihere will be another large defloil tie year5 to moeot which we will be still further ttaxed. T1he present Lcgislature which went into office pledged to reform have done no bet. tot than their nroeasors an.d- i they have not squandered as much ( money it is because they have not had equal oppoitunitiev. Tio Tron-& surer inforn-s us that the Stste credit is deatd'in New 'York. -Thi-is cher. ing intelligoioo, f h oe halsofiones herebfeo have boon 6ut veholodsof I fraud from which the -State has reap- I ed no benefit. The only expedient I now left for raising money is by di.. root, heavy taxation, and this 'nea- I sure, in time will defeat itself by I drawing'odpital'from the State, and t leaving the people too hapoverished 11 t9 moet the extravagant 1dmaands of th-e administration. All the officials are now said to be hard up, and so soon -as politics coebos tltogetler to be a mioney uanking 'bu baes6, tI'e wtfoenary adventurers now amonig Us will betoko thnisclves elsewhere, I leaving the jeqlo to rugulate their own affah's.

Zion is ono If the old landmarks of Fai fiold, one of the few remains of the past. It is one of - the oldest schools in South Carolina. It was fu'unded in 1783, ninety years ago, existing first as a college, and subsequently as an academy of high reputat'on. For many yeats it wa-s patronized by tho entire Sohith, an'd 'under the manage. ment of Mlr. Iludson ranked senond to no preparatory school in this 800 tion. 'ne iro at-e but few citizens of the County who did not roccive in strnction within its waalls, and1 to tall its old pupils it is en-doared by a hun dired associatiubb. Mt.

Tlto services of an able ihstruictor, Mr. 14. Rl.

'Aion to thb rank of a first class institution, is patronage on the part of the citizens. T1he beno floial effects of any institution are proportional to the number of pu pils- Laet our people, then, rally to the support of a time honored school. But other reasons besides mere senti ment may be adduced in suppott of maintaining this sohool. The pros perity of every oihthwanit'y is meas ured by its educational advantages. We must have a good school in Fair field;, if we wish the Cotinty to pros per. Other wise imtnigration will be tepelle~d from our borders, and will seek mere faikored loealities: Anoth. or great advantage is in keeping pu.. pils at home. The children Uf every County should be educated together; for school associations anto the atrong est ties binding inen together, and when these children become citisons their old friendships will inettre unity of purpose and action. It is a mis taken idea to sebd a child off to school *hen he can be taught at home. lHe may obtain a thorough education, but when he returns he Is literatif a stranger at horne. Having no ac. quainatances of his ago; 1,6 ig to'm pelted to begin the work of making friends wvion his babits and nmanners are settled, always a dlificult, task. In those timosespecniall it, ymuth 'f the county should be taught to. ;ether,'for they mny hereafter be call ld'upO to ot ,. cotkort in lfolitic; ,nd in monetary affairb. An6ther advantage to b''o'cfisAdeico a the lessened expense of keepink he pupil at home. As the distanc 'ren'home beoonfes giestor, inoidei. ial expenses increase until they be tome a formidable item. The pupi a alto knore dirootly undOr the eye oj ,he parent or guardian, and can mor< isaily be kept frum corrupting in luoe'oos. Still another advantage is that i patronizing a hone school,'monoy ex cUdeO. it, kept in the County, ani gradually finds its way back to th4 )ers'on spoiding it; whilo money son Ant .,'t o ike'Couy is irifetrie'vabi OSt. *Every puipil 'going to a foreigi netitution oa is off frun three to )itbthundiod dollars a year.
