TU? Sweeping Victory In eu?rl??tun .
The olllbiul report confirms the utter
defeat of the Radical ticket in Charka
ton. ..Tue "City by the Sea" ia redeem?
ed, and its'control remitted to ?ho hands
of good and substantial citizens. The
result is gratifying, and we havo no
doubt but that it will be'found highly
advantageous to the business interests of
tho city-to say nothing of its other in?
terests. Kur should the lesson.tanghtbe
soon forgotten. The good people of tho
oity turned out like ?nen.. ?Stores were
closed. Business was snsponded. : Men
did their duty. The result was a victory
in the interests of. good government.
.So it might be elsowhoro. AH South

I now cite that portion of Oen. But
ler's report under which otu com mi tte
was appointed, to show that we were no
merely to confer with the Legislativ.
Committee, as stated by yoa. (I'm
coed in gs, p. 106:)
"A committee on the purt of the Lu
gitdaturo is now in session iu this city
charged with tho investigation of th
transactions of somo of tho Stnlo ofli
oiids. Your committee recommend th
appointment of a committee of three
by the President, whose duty it shall be
as representatives of a large body of th
tax-payers of the State, to tender thei
services and co-operation to the Legisla
tivo Opmmitteo, in aid of tho investiga
tioo now going on.
"Your committee, not having tho au
thority of law to prons their inquiry int.
the numerous alleged frauds and corrnp
tiou to a .satisfactory conclusion, and re
cognizing tho occasion HS ono of to
much gravity to be hnstily nod onad

sworn statements of individuals. Th
foregoing recommendations, however, i
carried out, will tost tho sincerity u
those who have tho authority for iuve>
tigation, und lead to a purification of th
body politic"
In pursuance of this report, our coin
mitten was appointed ; and when wo tet:
derud our services to tho Legislativ
Committee, with an oiler to act directl
with thom, they declined the offer, fe
tho reason that their work was too fu
advanced for us to practically sot wit
them without going over tho whole liol
of investigation. They recommended
however, aud thereby authorized ns, t
co-operate with them hy making a sepe
rate investigation, coven ngull tbegroun
they had gone over, so that the report
of tho two separate examining partit
would provo tho faithfulness of hot!

different ?nanoiul officers of the Stub

-Tilda wo were authorized to muke tl
application, not only by the Conventiot
but also by tho Legislative Committal
whose authority you expressly recognh
and admit. Besides this, wo had th
authority of Gov. Scott, who advise
mo to prosecute tho investigation, ade

Legislative Committee, that ho pr

Add to all this tho example of Com]
troller Nongle, in oousouting; withot
hesitation, to our examination of his o
lice; and I leave tho Governor, tho L
gislativo Committee and the Comptrol
or to nuswor your question, whether "
was "unparalleled presumption on rc
part to dak jour consent to the appoint?
ment Of a committee to investigate the
.Ufttirsof you??pTHl?." ~~W "^ff h '
' Surely no comment in oiir present
condition is ue?d>d. wiitin a public ser?
vant thuB defies ibo autlsJSjrity of tho.Go
vernoraud tho legislature, apd insulta
the ttx-puyera of the Stute, for" dariog to
inquire what he bas done with the pub
iio money. .
%n the ?eco nd place, an if not na ti pile ti
with my want of authority, you under?
take to.pro ve that your office has beeu
repeatedly examined and always found
correct, leaving it to be inferred that
there was really nothing for my commit?
tee to do, and to that end, you quote* tho
law ropiiriug you to exhibit your hank
book to tho Governor aud tho Comp?
troller once a mouth or oftener, if re?
quired, and providing for nn annual ex?
amination of your accounts by a joint
committee of tho General Assembly, who
shall report afc tho next ?cesi?n;'and you
refer me lo thc several reporlR of those
committees for tho last threo ycart?, in
conformity with the law, and highly
complimentary to tho administration of
your office. These examin?t ions, yon
declare, we ru "something never before
done iu South Carolina." Yet, td ra tige
to say, the Legislature was still not
satisfied with the repot ts and certificates
of its own committees, ao far ns regards
your office; for yon go oh to inform me,
that "in addition to.this, the Legislat ure,
at its Inst regular sthsion, appointed a
committee, consisting of two on the
part of the Senat??, and tlireo on the
part of the Hdnaeof Representatives, to
make a thorough examination of nil the
books and vouchers of eveiy description
in the Treasury, from the date of my in?
duction into ellice, nod report the result
to the General Assembly at its next ses?
sion."
Now what does this imply, buta total
want of confidence in- you as au officer,
and iu tho correctness of these annual
reports? Bear in , miud, too, that thia
Legislature its composed almost entirely
of your political fricuds, who know you
better than any ouo elso does, and are
interested in concealing your delin?
quencies, whilst they aro at all tolerable.
And if they discredit these reports, by
culling for a fnrthor investigation, how
can you expeot the lax-payers to receive
them as sufficient and satisfactory ? Yet
you offer these reports, rejected aud con?
demned by your own' party, ss the only
information we are entitled to. After
the reception that the Convention met
with from you and other State officers,
you can hardly,conceive the disappoint?
ment of General Wallace*and myself at
this r?unit. We had made np our minds
that it would be more agreeable and far
less expensive than going to the springs,
to upend two or threo months (tho longer
the better) in tho splendidly furnished
rooms at the State House, enjoying the
hospitality of the Treasurer and partak?
ing of the good things so abundant there
last winter, some of which might possi?
bly bo fonnd in the holes aud hiding
places of your office. We almost ima?
gined ourselves seated at table, with you
ut the head, wo ou-one flank, Dennis
and Whittemoro facing ns, and Joe
Crews at the other end, drinking death to
the Kn Klux, and peace and prosperity
to thu glorious old State which we all
love so much, though not exactly for the
same reasoos.
With our joint endorsement of the
annual reports, your character would
have been completely vindicated, and
the ogly rumors floating on evory breeze
that blows from the capital, put forever
nt rest. But now your euemies may in?
sinuate, that by refusing, you confirm
their worst auspicious und pronounce
your own condemnation. Yours, re?
spectfully. EDWIN J. SCOTT.

TUE LAST CAM MunbBlt.-Two roughs,
drunk, jumped on a Second aveline cur,
on Sunday evening, and commenced at
once quarreling with tho driver on the
front platform. About Fifth street they
became very violent, and spat iii tho
driver's face and .knocked him off the
car. Ho fell, grasping thc reins, under
the wheels of tho car, was run over and
had both of his legs severely injured. A
passenger, Mr. Delatour, a ship-owner,
was on the platform at the time, and he,
toe, was pushed off and suffered as tho
driver did. They wero both conveyed
to Bellevue Hospital, where Owens, the
driver, died yesterday, and Mr. Delatour
was found to be so severely injured that
his recovery is doubtful.
