The Executive Committee of the Taxpay? ers' Convention met the Committees from the Chamber of Commerce arid Board of Trade in this city last week, and, after a full and free conference, determined on active movements against the Eiog. A sub-com? mittee, consisting of ilessis. Cbesnut, Ald? rich, Simons, Butler and Shannon, was ap? pointed. For obvious reasons it is not proper to make public aDy particulars aa to the course which the committee have deter? mined to pursue; but the well known zeal, earnestness and ability of the gentlemen who nave the matter in charge should satisfy the public that they will move at the proper time, and with ooth caution and determina? tion. A Specific Charge Against the Ring. We print to-day the first four chapters of the reportof the Joint Investigating Com? mittee, a brief summary of ihe contents of which report was given in our issue of Mon. day. It exposes an extravagance and a fraud so monstrous and so brazen as to cause the robberies of the New York Ring to sick into insignificance. And this, it must be j borne in mind, is the work of the Radical officials of this radicalized State. No Demo? crat can be charged with being a partner in the crime. The Radical officials have done the wrong-have divided, and now eDjoy, the plunder-yet they are exonerated by a Radi? cal Legislature which, in defiance of conclu? sive proofs furnished by ita own members, refuses to impeach them. The Joint Committee show that the whole amount received by the State Treasurer from September, 1668, to October 31, 1S70, was $4,184,783, of which amount a sum of $2,055,553 represents the receipts from taxes. Now in this single statement we have an in stacee ?? the huge burden which the Radical government has put upon this people. Ac? cording to the Columbia Union, which in these matters should be unimpeachable au? thority, the State taxes, from 1S52 lo 1800, averaged $474,531 a year. The Scott gov? ernment collected from taxes, for Slate pur? poses, over one million dollars a year, and the assessment for the two years was more than two and a half milliens. This is the increase in taxation, while the value of the taxable property in the State is reduced from $489,000,000 to $183,000,000. Nor is this all. The Columbia Union, the official organ, charge? that during the past three years "appropriations have invariably ex? ceeded the receipts from taxes by several "hundred thousand dollars." In 1870 alone, the appropriations were more than half a million above the receipts. Upon the subject of appropriations the Joint Committee say that these have been diverted from their "intended aud specified "purpose;" and they urge the General As? sembly to give immediate consideration to I the snbjecL The people do desire to lock ina ??we door, but they insist that the thieves be punished. With regard to the deposit of the State funds in a specified bank, the committee are both clear and emphatic -They show that the Act-of August, 1S6S, requires that all money received by the Treasurer shall be de? posited in a bank or banks "designated by "the Governor, Comptroller-General and "Treasurer, or any two of them, and os, in "their opinion, shall be secure aud "the highest rate of interest for such deposit." The South Carolina Bank and Trust Compa? ny of South Carolina has had the lion's share of the deposits, but there is no record of the receipt of any interest uiouey from that institution. If tne bank has paid interest on j the State deposits, the money has been stolen by the Ring; if tue bank has not paid inter- j est orf the State deposits, Governor Scott, Comptroller Neagle and Treasurer Parker have knowingly and deliberately violated the Act of August 22, 18GS. In connection with the statements ol the committee about the South Carolina Bank and. Trust CouipaDy, the public may read with profit an article from the Union Times, printed in another column. The first specific charge against Scott, Parker and Neagle is, that they have delibe? rately and systematically violated the provi? sions of the Act of August 22, 18CS. Let them disprove it in the Courts if they cac. A Bold Radical Reformer. We print to-day a manly letter from Gene? ral W. J. Whipper, a member of the House of Representatives from Beaufort County, and Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means. He is one of the most influential colored Republicans in South Carolina, aud his bold denunciation of the robberies o? rlie Scott Ring is a wholesome sign of the times. It is, however, unworthy of so intelligent a ' man to say that "all true colored men "should be Republicans."' We condemn Ku K:uxi3m as cordially as Gecernl Whipper can do, and he knows very well that the con? stitutional amendments, which guarantee to the colored race their full civil and political rights, are as bindirjg upon the Democracy a. upon the par ty to whict: he belongs. And we may add that if there had been less ras? cality and corruption amougthe Soulh Caro? lina Radical?, there would have been no signs of Ku-Kluxism in this State. A Straw. Small?, who is one of the administration members, is appointed General of Militia, in place of Representative W. J. Whipper, who is au uncompromising supporter of impeach? ment, and a stout advocate of reform. REPRESENTATIVE Hurley said, during the debate on the impeachment resolution, that he had in his pocket a letter from "one of "the thieves, in which be (Hurley) was "urged to vote against impeachment and ?.name his figures." Representative Hurley bad better make a clean breast of it acd sive the name and the price. . IT HAS been plain from the beginning that the people must go to the Courts for the punishment of the Ring. The impeachment movement has been fruitful of good; but the conviction and the adequate punishment of | the robbers can only be had in the Courts.
