That the amounts which may be di under tbe contracts herein above referred t for the permanent and current printing the General Assembly,, and the republican ot certain volumes of the statutes at larg "aro not capable of being ascertained by i examination of the action of the Leglslatu alone, and can only be determined after s certainlng the amount of work performed 1 the direction and with the sanction of tl General Assembly"-that no specific sn has been appropriated to pay for tl work to be performed under such contract and this plaintiff is advised "there ls no leg limit to the amount or money that may In ac year be demanded under those contracts and lt may well be doubted whether any e fectual appropriation has been made, whic will authorize the payment or any money whatever ont or the public treasury under th contracts referred to; and this plaintiff is fm ther advised that the act and joint resolutlo ot the .General Assembly herelnabove refei red to, which assumes to authorize the Sta! treasurer to borrow upon the credit or th State such an amount or money as may b sufficient for the payment of the pay cei neates of the members and subordinate o ill cers oj the General Assembly, In conflict wltl sundry provisions of the Constitution ot thl State, andar? therefore Ineffectual and void and that the promissory notes executed by th said State treasurer for moneys borrowed un der the authority of such act and joint r?solu Uon are of no validity as lawful debts or de manda against the said State, anti may no therefore be paid out of the public treasury. 11. That no special tax has been Imposed o authorized to be assessed or levied tor pay ment of the pay certificates of the member and subordinate officers of the General Assem bly, or for pay ment of any sums claimed to b doe for current and permanent printing of tin General Assembly, for the republication of cer tain volumes of the statutes at large, and lt I confidently submitted that all and slngula the appropriations made for payment ot sud demands, even-though such appropriation were free from all objection, must be post poned in payment ont of the proceeds of thi tax directed to be levied by the Joint r?solu Hon ol March 13th, 1872, until each and all o the speoiflc appropriations made by the Gene ral Assemblyiln Its appropriation act for the fiscal year commencing November 1st, 1871 have been first fully paid and satisfied. 12. That during the fl seal year last past, thc moneys in the State treasury have been almos! wholly absorbed by payment of the pay certifi? cates of the members and subordinate officers of the general assembly, and accounts lor pub? lic printing certified by the clerks ot the Senate and House of Representatives, as herelnabove mentioned, while the salaries or the Judges and the other officers or the State, and the special appropriations for the support or the State University, and the State Institutions tor the relief of the Insane, and the punish? ment and repression ot crime, have been almost wholly withheld and remain yet un? paid; that pay certificates of the members and subordinate officers and employees of the Gen? eral Assembly, and formally certified accounts for public printing done, as this plaintiff ls in? formed and believes, are still outstanding and unpaid; that some of these demands have been assigned to and are held by the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company, and for secur? ing their payment, this plaintiff is assured that the said Hardy Solomon now holds.orders drawn by the said Parker, State treasurer, upon the county treasurer of Charleston, to the amount of nearly seventy thonsand dollars, and that J. L. Neagle ls also the holder, by as? signment of like demands against the State, to an amount which ls believed to be more than one hundred thonsand dollars; that this plain? tiff la further Informed and believes that the holders of the said pay certificates and certi? fied accounts against the State, are very nu? merous aod many of them are wholly un? known to him, and the plaintiff here Indicates ss proper representatives of them, and to be made parties defendant, according to the course and practice of the court, the said South Carolina Bank and Trust Company and J. L. .Neagle. ll. That this plaintiff at the recent general election was elected the treasurer of the said Btate, to succeed the present State treasurer, the said Niles G. Parker, but cannot, as be (said plaintiff) ls advised, enter upon the per? formance or blB official dutleB before the ap? proaching session or the General Assembly; that In the meantime, however, the tax to' meet appropriations for the fiscal year last past, which is Imposed by the Joint resolution or the General Assembly, approved March 13 1872, will become payable, and the collection of the Bame by the county treasurers will have begun; that sundry facts and circumstances have recently come to the Knowledge of this plaintiff, showing that lt ls the purpose and intention ol the said N. G. Parker to lay hands apon BO mach ot the proceeds of 'the tax last mentioned as may be collected before this pia!min* shall have entered upon the per iormance of his official dnties as State treasu? rer, and to dispose of the same, aa he has done with the bulk of the money in the treasury during the last fiscal year, In payment of the notes given by him as State treasurer as aforesaid, anil lo payment of yet outstanding pay certificates , of the members and subordinate officers of the General As? sembly and the certified accounts for public printing done; that it ls necessary to detail those facts and circumstances, for within the last two days the said N. G. Parker. State treasurer, announced in person to this plain? tiff that he bad the power under the law to pay the outstanding pay certificates, and other demands aforesaid, for payment where? of no special tax is imposed prior and in pre? cedence to the special appropriations made by the general appropriation act of March 13, 1872, and that, he intended to exercise that power, and defied this1 plaintiff to prevent him; and this plaintiff further alleges that be 1B informed, and confidently believes, the Suite treasury bas been empty for many months past, and be alleges that If the said N. G. Parker, State treasurer, shall be per? mitted to dispose of the proceeds of the said Incoming tax for the purpose proposed by him, as berelnabove stated, such action on his part must Inevitably produce most disastrous consequences, and may result In the actual suspension or disruption of the entire govern? ment of the State. Wherefore, the plaintiff demands Judgment as well on his own behalf as on behalf of all taxpayers and citizens of said State ; that as [ to the proceeds of the tax authorized to be levied by the aforesaid Joint resolution of the General Assembly approved March 13, 1872, I the said slate treasurer, Niles G. Parker, his I attorneys, counsellors, assistants and ageu ts, oe enjoined from uBtng, appropriating, or In any manner disposing of the same or any part thereof, for any purpose whatever; except in payment of the . appropriations contained in the general appropriation act for the fiscal year last past, approved March 13th, 1872, un? til those appropriations have been fully satis? fied and paid, and that the. said N. G. Parker as State treasurer, be especially and abso? lutely enjoined from paying ont of the pro? ceeds of the said tax now about to be levied any outstanding pay certificates of the mem? bers and subordinate officers or employees of the General Assembly, or any certified ac? counts for public priding done, or any note br notes, obligation or obligations made by him for money borrowed under the authority ot the act and Joint resolution of the General Assembly, In that behalf, herelnabove men? tioned ; and that each of the county treasur? ers of the State, the defendants in this action, be enjoined from using or dispos lng of any part of the proceeds of the said tax, for the fiscal year last past, and now about to be levied, which may come into their hands respectively tor the purpose of paying any note or obligation of the said Niles G. Parker, or any order or check made or en? dorsed by bim, or any pay certificates of any member or subord?nale officer of the General Assembly, whether endorsed by the said Niles G. Parker, for payment by any county treasu? rer or not, or any account of public printing, certified by the clerks respectively ef the Senate and House of Representatives; and that each of the said county treasurers be enjoined lrom using or disposing of any portion of the proceeds of the said tax, save only the county tax, for any purpose whatever, except for payment of the same Into the treasury of the State; and that such other and further relief may be granted td the plaintiff as may be Just, together with the coats of this action.
