PHONIX. Attend the True Event.' BY J. A. SELBY. COLUMBIA, S. O., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3, 1872. VOL. VII-NO. 245. The Boston Po*/caye: Tbs' q^??i?? aw i? i?p fraudulent over-iaaas of State bondi by the Radical Governor of Sooth Carolina may be re? garded a* soi at rest hy the report of a committee appointed by the Legislature of the State to investigate the matter. The committee was Radical, ae much BO aa Governor Soott himself, and. there? fore, nol to be suspected of prejudice or misrepresentation, or perversion of the facts,.damaging as they are to Radical? ism, and to the oarpet-bag speculators who have controlled the reconstruction of South Carolina ?nd reduced the State to m ooudition of bankruptcy and finan? cial rain. .The.committee were Scott's own men,, the famous ex-Oongreasman Bowen being chairman, and the other members,, for the most, part, colored men, upon whose faithfulness the faith? less Govern or supposed he oonld ceunt. The report ' of this committee eata bliahea the fnot of Gov. Scott's over iasnes of bonds, with the collusion of I the State Treasurer, Parker, to the foll ! extent of the rumored allegations, whioh I they have io vain attempted to deny or explain, and recommends, without hesi-, tewon or condition, that both be im? peached. . The New York Tribune says: "If Sooth Carolina had nothing of which to complain more discouraging than the beggarly account of empty cof? fers lately, reported, she might be lusa exasperated with her oarpet-bag govern? ment. A State which had a landed pro? perty worth over $70,000,000 at the end of the war, and such elements of pros? perity as are found in che culture of the great Southern staples-cotton and rioe -oonld soon replenish her drained trea? sury, if she hadfairlcreditand an honest, prudent government. ; But the report of the Legislative Investigating Committee, who have just been looking into the al? ego d over-issue of bonds, shows.that the uredit of the State has gone with its money. The operations of the so-called Finauoial Board have not only been reckless, but as dishonest (to oom pare small things with great) as the financial juggling of thc Tammany Government of New York oily. It is vain for Gov. Soott to attempt to throw the blame on the Legislature, whioh be accuses of ex? travagance, or on unnamed conspirators, whom' he charges with a systematic at? tempt to destroy the oredit of tho State. To be sore, tho General Assembly drew from the Treasury the enormous amount of $588,651.44 on account of the 'legis? lative expenses,' and the State waa run in debt for 891,600 for furniture for the State House, (os is alleged;) but neither of these preposterous items, nor any 'bearing' of the market by men hostile to the local administration, could honest? ly be taken in extenuation of an over? issue of more than $9,000,000 in bonds. The old debt of the State waa 86,665, 856.27; on the 31st Ootober, 1870, it WBB just 81,000,000 more, and on the 21st November, 1871, it was 815,806,908.98. What have the South Carolina carpet? baggers to show for it?" The National Republican, after com? menting upon Parker's interest in the Washington Chronicle, says: "The hour has come to drive plun? derers, and particularly the plunderers of the unfortunate South, from offices of position and trust in the party. They muBt be made to feel ana- understand that the party does not endorse their rascality and villainy." Condemned! oondemnedl Pursue the thieves/ A bibulous but verdant youth, in Nor? folk, Va,, asked for a bottle of cham? pagne and was given a champagne j bottle half foll of pepper sauce.
