OUR FINANCIAL RELATIONS AND TUB GUILTY PABT?BS. -The following loading editorial from the Missionary Record, ol tho 8th instant, edited sud published by Rey. R. H. Cain, who was formerly a member of the South Carolina Legisla? ture, is worthy of attentive perusal, somiog as it does from tl.o pen of a rep? resentative oolorod man: The financial condition of a State is the best evidence presented to the world >f the worth or unfitness of thc men into whoso bauds have been committed the State's interest. The condition of ?his State's finances, OB revealed by the oporto of the Treasurer and thc Go? vernor's messsgo, fixes beyond a doubt a legree of guilt upon our State ofiloials rvhioh is without a palliation. The enor? mous in?rense in the debt of this State, vithin two years, with no prospect of mprovement, and no returns to the peo? ple who have suffered tho grievous irrongs at the hands of their trusted ind tried public servants who have bo rayed tho trusts reposed in them, is un? bearable. There has been mismanage nent und embezzlement by somebody. The time has oome when the people ihould demand the arrest and arraign? ment of the guilty parties, and have hem brought before tho proper tri? bunals, and made to disgorge their ill gotten, gains. New York has lately been sursed with a horde of robbors, who invo stolen millions from tho public -reasury. Thu honest citizens have rison up in their might and throttled .hoso villains, and to-day some of them ire in prison, and others are under bail, iwaiting the coming of condign punish? ment. Wo have our Tammany ring, .vilo are playing tho same high-handed {ame, and the people must rise up and lomand their overthrow. If tho Trea turer has been guilty of embezzlement, et him bo arrested, as any other thief, md held to strict accountability; if he ins accomplices in the persons of the 3overnor and other offioiuls, let thom be ipprohcudcd and placed iu the custody )f tho law, so that justice may uot bo moated by their sudden Hight from the State. Wo know no reason why these great srimiuals should not be punished, as .voil OH the poor negro who Bteals a peck )f rice to prevent bia family from star ration. Why should these great rascals go "scott free?" Why should tho honest aboring mon of the country bo com? pelled to pay taxes to sustain those vho ride in luxury and spooalate in >onds stolon from the State? It is imo that these things cease. The cry >f Republicanism will not savo these precious rascals in tho future. That ory las lost its charm to the negroes, who ire cow starving for want of food and ire half nuked, after yearn' labor spent n following a half vugrant life, waiting or the fal till ment of promises made mt never intended to be fulfilled by hoso villainous demagogues. Let them ie aware. The thunder cloud portends i coming storm which will sweep them i way. The editor of the Missionary Record, n the same issue, continues as follows: Wno is RESPONSIBLE FOB OUR FINAN? CIAL RUIN.-The question of responsi? bility for the present condition of this Statu is one which forces itself upon ?very intelligent voter, upon every poor nan, woman and child in the Common? wealth, because every interest is affected jy tho financial wreck of this State. No me can scau tho reporta mado by the rariouB parties relative to the expeudi ures and issues of bonds by onr State >flicials, without discovering the inton? ion of fraud au?! peculation. A careful examination into the fuets show that here must have been a deep-laid plan iO plunder this State by a few leading nen, whose whole aim was to possess .homselves of tho proper power, through egislativo enactments, and then acconi blish their purposes with impunity, ?Ve trace thoir actions through a series if measures, brought to the Legislature jy themselves, and passed at their own luggestions aud urgent requests, ropre tenting that without their passago the State could not succeed, and tho Repub ican party could not maintain its puwer n Ibis State. In 18G8, tho "bill to redeem the bills >f tho liank of the State" was presented ;o tho first Legislature which assembled inder reconstruction. It was presented \s a measure essential to the honor and ntegrity of the State, and it was pnssed; md it subsequently tnrnod out that svery ono who urged its passage upon tho colored members of tho Legislature with so much vehemence wore interest? ed, and had bought up hundreds of the ailis and held them, awaiting thu pas mgc of the bill. Through this action, they made thousands of dollars. Tho aoxt Act of the Legislature which gavo authority to issue bonds was at their in ?tigatiou, and BO of every Act authoriz? ing tho issue of bonds, have been at tho instigation of tho State offioiuls. The Legislature have had too much confi? dence in those gontlemcn, for the good of tho Stuto. Whatever of crime that may attach to the officials of this State, is the result of thoir own notions, free and untrammelled by tho Legislature. Tho rospousibility rests with them en? tirely. The report states that there hus been an over-issue of bonds to the amount of 03,102,000, authorized by the Legisla? ture. If these officials proceed to this over-issue without law, then they uro guilty nf malfeasance in office, and of high-handed fraud. Now tho Financial Board, composed of tho Governor, Trea? surer and Attorney-General, thoy should have known of every issue of bonds in tho name of the State; and tho question forces itself upon us whether they are not responsible for this fraud? No bonds could bo issued without the signa? ture of tho Governor and Treasurer, so that they, at least, aro accessory to every fraudulent act committed by such issues. Lot thu people boar in mind that these gentlemen aro the parties who have done thoso wrongs to the people. Let them bc held to strict accountability for this notion. lt is evident that tho Bowen reformers have como to terms with dov. Scott, who will bo while-washed nt un oarly day. We expected nothing from them, and I aro not disappointed. Tho work of re? form eau only bu accomplished by men of honor und integrity. [Charleston News.
