The wolves are after our blood again. Read Beecher's sermon on "True Economy." It was not at all applicable to the Legislature. FRIDAY, July 17,1874.-Wish Elliott would support me for State Treasurer ; would at once commence studying finance in earnest. My first paytnentn would be the accounts of the Republican Printing Company. Printers are the light of the worin, and should bo taken caro of as preferred creditors. Attention is called to the testimony of A. O. Jones, derk of tho House and a member of the Republican Printing. Company, on this and kindred subjects, ile says that the printing was finit award ed to J, W. Denny, and aftei wards to the Carolina Printing Company, composed of Oov. R. K* Scott, Attorney General Chamberlain, Treasurer Parker, Comp troller General Ncaglc, Htate Printer Denny, Auditor Tomlinson, L. Cass Car penter, editor of the Daily Union, and Morris & Fox, of the Charleston Repub lican. The law then provided that the public printing ''should be paid out of any moneys in thc treasury not otherwise appropriated." He say? we waro not aware at that time that this fund was looked upon as a source of revenue for State officia!" and influential members of tho General Assembly j it sunn ? became apparent, however, that unless wo made an agreement to distrihuto the profits, wc would be cleaned out. This necessa rily caused the bills for the work to bc greatly increased. "Mr. Woodruff's ex perience with the State officials was much larger than mino (Jones'). Tho passage of thc printing claims was a special ob ject of attack by an army of blackmailer! composed of Slate officials, senntors members of the House, editors, lobbyist end other hungry hangers-on of thc Gen eral AFsembly/' "In order to obtain tb? money on our claims/' says Jones, "wi were forced by Governor Cliamberlatr and Treasurer Curdozo to' support th< Union-tho Union-Hendd while it exist ed. We deemed it politic to satisfy, a near as possible, these demand:!. Instea< of following thc practice of placing i fund in the hands of a few individual? wo undertook tho distribution of ou favors and to muko them general." Th witness (Jones) also submitted a larg numbor of checks, now in the, hands c your committee, most of them endorsee1 representing amounts paid to diflcreii members ot the House in considcrntio of their votes, or non-opposition to th printing frauds thut were being pcrpc troted under tho guiso of legislation.

I Showing that $41,209 was paid to sev enty-one members out of a total of one hundred nnd twenty-four, seventy-four being Republicana out of u total of one hundred and six, and three Democrats out bf a total of eighteen. Jones in cor roborated in thia statement by LeGrand Benedict, who says?: "In the mooth of December, 1873, 1 paid u large number of certificate? of indebtedness to thc mem ber? of thc lower house of tho General Assembly, upon ordern made upon me 'iy Mr. dones, i paid numerous orders of (bat description, and every one of such payment? I? a matter of record. I have examined ?onie forty or fifty of such orders presented for my inspection by the committee, and am satisfied they were either paid by Mr. Jackson or myself, and I have also e.'.amined tho account of Clerk Jones and find entries of payments made corresponding with said orders." Clerk Jone? ia further corrobjratcd a? to payments by thc testimony of Represen tatives J. J. Grant, W. W. Ramsay, dins. Simms, A. Simpkins, S. J. Keitn. R. S. Tarleton, David Grabnm ano others, who admit t '.ie receipt? of thc sev eral amounts charged up against them. Jones aayB that on pago 24 of the led ger aro tho following entries: *'S. S. F.," $2,600 ; F. L. Cardozo, $250 ;. 6. L. H?ge, $5,00U ; F. J. Moses, Jr., $3,300 ; F. J. Moses, Jr.. $500; F. L. Cardozo, $9,750 ; F. L. Cardozo, $7,800 ; F. J. Mose?, Jr., $2,250 ; F. J. Moses, ,?>., $4,254. Those entries were made by W. H. Jackson, "bookkeeper of tho company. In addition tc thcao nmouuts ho says, that "we frequently turned over tho cer tificates aud other papers belonging to the company," and that he "was bled by tho friends over and over again on tho same claim." Tho namca on the "little book" are same which appear on the lia of M ?nts made by Clerk? Joues and Woodruff ns shown by their evidence, which includes ftr?OUBtS paid Hu.io oiS ccrs and Senators, with several erasures. On comparison of tho "little book" with the ledger of tho printing company, wo find erasures of tho following entries: T. C. Dunn, $1,000 ; J. Hollin?hond, $1,000 ; C. D. Hayne, $1,000 ; W. E. Holcombe, $1,000; W. H. Jonen, $1,000; G. F. Mc Intyre, $2,000. These erasure- were made before the "little book" narai? into the posses-ion o? tho committee. Mr. Maxwell, who pre viously had charge of tho "little book," testifies as follow? : ROOMS JOINT INVESTIGATING COM., STATE CAPITAL. Dec. 18. 1877.' Edward J. Maxwell, being duly ?worn, testiflcti as follows : I um a re sident of the city of Columbia, in this State, and am attorney and counaell jr at law. I am familiar with the book marked "L," and commonly known as the "little boo!;." It came into my possession some time in February, lu the year 1876, whiio I was "topping at the Wheeler House in thia city, it was handed tome by Dr. W. H. Jackson, formerly coonee' ted with the Republican Printiffg Com finny of this city. He statod to me that t was a transcript of the books of that company, which he lind taken in his own handwriting, wbilo ho was in the employ of tHo company. Th? book remained iu my possession until cometimo in tho fol lowing winter, whon I delivered it to Mr. Mackay, with directions to retain it, sub ject to my order. It was demanded from me by Jacksou, and I declined to give it up. I waa informed that he wanted to have it suppressed for various considera tions. I told Mr. Mackay that I gave the book into his custody, Bololy to avoid remarks which Jackson had been mak ing, to the effect that I had myself made an improper use of tho book. The book wai banded back to rae for the purpose of producing the same before a commit tee of the Senate. I am familiar with tho handwriting of W. H. Jackson, and believe the entries made in this-book are iv ritten by him, of which the following is a copy. ED. J. MAXWELL. Tho testimony of Mr. Maxwell and a comparison of the "little book" with the ledger of the printing company show that the "little book" made the year before ibo appointment of the committee, was \ faithful transcript of the ledger', and it still is so, except in the* matter of the erasures. Your committee find that huge frauds were committed under the bead of news paper advertising, and that the people were loaded with an oppressive tax to subsidise a venal press in frauds equal in proportion to those of the Carolina or Republican Printing Company. Not satisfied with-the large sums paid them as leading Senators and Repre sentatives,, many of the same parties filched considerable sums from the treas ury for printing the 'awa in county newspapers established for that purpose. Several instances are on record where a Senator recelvaJ $5,000 for publishing the acts, whilst a paper not owned or controlled by a Senator would have re ceived for the same work about $600. It is a matter of proof that daily new?: papers were established in Charleston and Columbia, and were in the personal interest of the members of the ring, and frauds were perpetrated in the making up v ?nd collection of such accounts scarcely oqualled by any other. With a view of satisfying the Guneral Assembly of the truth of this charge, we will brief ly recite som? inat&nnM. J-;sss H. Dise ker, Edwin Forde and Edwis A. Noises, all experienced and practical printers, have carefully and minutely measured all the offteial advertisement* of ?very description, * contained in files *?f the Charleston Scpuliiehr., (large ?rao'u ts of ??hieh Tii.r?. m rule cut ana collected, in the naroo of the Carolina Printing Com pany.) They find, and so state, that ac cording to the contract made with the two clerk, for publishing the law?, and rates charged by such paper for ad vertising, the surpdue the paper would, be $44,688.20, but on examination of the vouchers paid ?od In the Stato Treas urer's office, they find and report that there w*? paid said paper the extraor dinary s'lur of $00,982.14 daring Ita ex istence, and at times tbersr waa paid tb? monstrous sum of twenfyitv* emit a Sm tBWSSaaCBSBSaBWMWBSMSasaSWgBW each, for both dally ?cd weakly Repub lican for publishing the -acts. This OJO tract is al itched to the evidence marked exhibit "E D," as a remarkable curiosity Ir. business matters. Thu? it is uta that tb? State pele? f 31,390.04 over and abovo the legitimate sam due, in order that "the organ" of the party in power might subsist. In dc :. and in truth, the Charleston Republican waa a lively benama that never 'failed to prove a grand source of revenue to some of the modern statesmen. This is established by the large amounts paid as claims to "the friends" of the Republican, passed from time to time, reaching several thousand dollars, when ct the time of lbs passage of the claim the company (md drawn*largely lu excess of any amount properly due it. We refer to paper marked exhibit "A." as a specimen claim of thia ch?racicr, being only one of many in the Treasurer's office. We also refer to the evidence of the printers above named, who say they have t-i smiucd the flies of the Columbia Ifoiljf Union and find there was due L. Cae* Carpenter, editor and proprietor, the sum of $17,174.05 from November, 1870, to May, 1873/ under contract to publish the laws at twenty cents per Hue, and the advertised rates far other official ad vertisomenUi. Nevertheless, the vouchers in the Treasurer's office snow that Mr. Carpenter was paid $59,987.04 for adver tising in his paper, including $0,280 claimed to bavo beeu due for publica tions made in the weekly issue, thus de frauding the State out of $33,520.59 in less than three years. In addition to this Mr. Carpenter was paid a claim of $2,600 for publishing acts in 1874. He was also paid more than $5,000 for furnishing papers to Slate officials, members of the General Assembly and other lesser lights of (he party. Tho vouchers ?how thst he received over $10,000 for publishing two acts known as "insurance laws." The evidence of D;. Nesgle, then Comptroller General, hud his letter to Mr. Carpenter, herewith submitted as exhibit "J L,' shows that the amounts thus collecte ! were without any autbori- j ty of law. tn this le'.tcr of December 2, 1*870, Dr. Ncagle refers to having ordered Carpenter to stop all such publications. Then it was, according lo tho testimony of Woodruff and Jones, that they were in fe: -.td that it was their duty to certify to tho correctness of those accounts (by Attorney General Chamberlain.) These accounts so certified were raised by in serting the figuro 1 to many of them, all of which was made out iu figures, thus indicating a Axed design to raino each by adding ono thousand dollars. In further illustration of these palpable frauds, the vouchers show that $18,159 was paid for the publication of tho two acts referred to above* iu less than three year?, both of which contained only 289 lines, equal to about one and a half columns. In tho month of December, 1871, these acta wero inserted in Z>atVy Union four times -8th, 9th, 20th and 25th-while the vouchers show that the State paid $1,720 for such publication. We have no better method of showing the manner by which printing claima were raised than by sub mitting the following evidence : ROOM? JOIN?.* INVESTIGATING COU., COLUMBIA, Feb. 7,1878. Jasper C. Roath, Esq., being recalled, says: That he resides ia Columbia, by occupation attorney at luw. That be was cashier of thc South Carolina Bank and Trust Company, and familiar with the accounts and orders against the State, having examined u large number of such during his connection with the bank, and believes himself to bo competent to judge of the signatures and general writ ing of the various officers of the State government, and also that of L. Cass ^Carpenter, BO as to be able to express a decided .minion as to whether any ac count mad. out by either of the parties named has been altered or raised from the orignal. On examination of the vouchers submitted to bim by the com mittee ; he has no hesitation in stating that tho account of Daily Union, dated September 17, 1871, has been altered from the original amouutof $181.28, to $1,181.28, by tho insertion of the figure one (1) in front of the hundreths unit. Account of Bnme paper, March 4, 1872, was originally marie out for $486.40, and raped to $1486.40 in samo way. Ac count of same paper, dated December 13, 1871, has been altered and raised from tho original amount of $720 to $1J20 lo same ?."sy. Account of same paper, of December 13,1871, was ori ginally made out for $878.33, and raised in same manner to $1,878.83. Account of October . 20, 1871, was originally $781.67, altered in samo manner to $1, 784.67. Account of Daily Union, ut January, 1872, was raised in same man ner from $540 to $1,640. Account of same pnper, January 4,1872, was raised from 195 to 695, by/ altering thc figure 1 to 6. Account of January 20, 1872, was raised and altered from $155 to $655, by changing the figure 1 into a 6. Ac count orsaroo paper, dated February 27, 1873, sppcars to havo been raised from origii?rii amounis of $676 to $?,U7?. I hays alnn examined thc accounts aub in it ted-by the committee of ehe Carolina Printing Company, and find that an ac count of $1,500 has been raised to $f,500 by changing the figure 1 to a 2. Have also examined five m...ur account.) oi same company, all of which hare the appearance of being raised one thousand dollars each, by the insertion of the figure 1 in front of tho figures represen'; ing the hundreds ; in most cases the 1 was of a different colored ink, and in some Instances the other figures have been traced after the insertion of the figuro 1, so as to cause them to have a uniform color and appearance. I also find that, in some instances, tho blotter was applied to the figural when'in serted, and not upon the other figures. These accounts were for publishing acts of the General Assembly and insurance laws. I think the accounts made out foi the Carolina Printing Company repre sent amount* doe the Charleston Re~ ?mblican. I was a member of the Caro ma Printing Company, and krrow noth ing of these accounts being raised. The accounts all have the appearance oj being paid to L. Cass Carpenter, ai shown hythe Stat? Treasurer's endorse ment on the back of them and Treas? mer's numbera. ' J. C. ROATH. Being recalled and sworn : We have examined the accounts re ferred to ia the foregoing evidence or J. C.

Contrasted with the accounts of th? daily papers, hereinbefore referred to, we submit the evidence, taken relative tc the accounts of the Daily Newt ol Charleston. The contract made n .th thc proprietors of this paper was twenty-fiv< cents per line for publishing the acts ix three papers, the daily, tn-weekly anti weekly New$, which waa twepty-fivj cents per line leas than was paid to th? Charleston JCepuolican for Publishing th< sasr.c sets in the daily ana weekly.

Comment is unnecessary for the evidence is io itself a sufficicni tribute to the Integrity or tho r^ropricion of the Nev?, and the correctness of theil accounts : JOINT INVJMTIO,ATINO COMMITTEE, CHARLESTON, 8. G.,Feb. 18,1878. J. Berman Schalte, being duly sworn deposes on oath aa follows : My name ii J. Herman Schulte. I resident 1% Rut ledge street, in the city of Charleston and I ara by occupation the manager o the Journalof\Cbmnterct. I waa in th< office of thc Charleston Ne** from No vember, 1865, uoUl U was merged, ink the New* and Charier, and continued thereafter with the Newt and Courier up to March, 1877. I wan at first collector, and afterwards book-keeper. I think I became book-keeper ?bout ibo middle of Jiv.aarj, 1871. (Wi-ncss re'ened to the ledger of the Newe i Courier and recognized entries in wary, 1871, as in bis handwriting.) The measurement of e Newt and of the Newt and Courier, adopted as to alt their advertising custom, was nonpareil measurement, excepting business no tices, which were inserted at fifteen cent* per line, by count of the lines, in 187*. At that tune the rates which the Newe was charging the State were ten cents a line by nonpareil measurement for the daily, and five ecu's per line, cf similar measurement, for the trt-weekly and weekly. The credit rates of the tVewt at this time for ordinary customers were in the Daily Newt, fifteen cents a line tionpsreil for first insertion and ten cents a line nonpareil for each subse quent insertion, with a discount of 20' per cent, off for mon >ly payments to regular advertisers. Sates of tri-weekiy and weedy were about thc same as the dairy to ordinary customers. I was ac customed to make tho measurements, and enter tho charges for advertising in tho office of the Ne ia in 1871, and I made out all of the bills against the State for advertising, and I am satisfied that the measurements are correct. (After measuring advertisements at random, in company with Mr. A. F. Melchers, from the files of the Newt for the years 1871, 1872 and 1873, witness continued.) Pam still satisfied that the measurements are correct. There is one advertisement charged as 8,413 lines, March 25th, ISM, which, in nieasureioont, is only ".315 lines, and which, I am satisfied,is ~uis? take in counting the hundreds. The generality of tho advertisements are charged one or two Hues less than the measurement. The measurement is thc same standard as that of the Journal oj Commerce, and used to be the mode of the Charleston Courier also. It is the custom of newspapers to charge for the space taken up, including cr and all kinds of /at matter. The Kdvertisementfl of acts of this Legislature in the Newt had no cuts, and wero leaded in tho same manner ns special notices. I do not know of anything unfair in the modo ol inserting those advertisements, or of thc charges for the same, so far as tho bookt and the files'are concerned. I made oui tho bills, and I feel satisfied they corres pond with the book.i and files. J. H. SCHULTE. JOINT INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE, -CHARLESTON, 8. C., Feb. 18, 1878. A. F.

Some of th* patties to these great crimes are now prison, whilst many others having < aerted their luxurious homes and frion are^ fugitives from justice, skulki abroad, yet they and ni! connected wi them in such atrocious deeds should f deeply grateful that the people of Sou Carolina, governed by wise and prude counsels, have attempted, and will ; tempt, to bring them to punishment duo process of law, instead of long a rising up in a storm of just indignati and wrath, and sweeping them from ? face of tho earth.
