Sanday Conting, Jannary gli IHTOix That ?l?<tnc?i with Mott?od-Tto?

It will be seen that Dr. Ensor, the Su? perintendent, and Mr. Henry Sparmak, ono of the regents, have put themselves on the record, and cleared their skirts of the black transaction. We were also called opon by Joe Taylor, another of the regents, and heard his statement. He pats the responsibility upon Regent drews, and disclaims any offence in the premises. As for Joe Crews and. others implicated, they Beem disposed to play mum. They . throw themselves upon their dignity or their characters! Bat they are bound to fall, for they are de? pending upon a broken reed. When saoh characters as we are exposing throw tb om s ol ves upon their characters, they must inevitably fall flat on the ground, for tthey are seeking to rest upon 1 'airy nothing." . When "Dr." Ensor received our commu? nication, as ono of ibo regents informs ns, a meeting'Of >the' Board was forth? with called.' They called upon. Joe Crews to answer. All that he had to say was, that if. the asylum had not re? ceived all the coal, he would make it up. Yes,'"make'it up," after you are disco? vered exposed in your petty swin? dling.'-, nib p We can account for a larger number of tons of coaltbeing diverted from the asylum than the number already report? ed. Joe Crows sold, wo baye reason ta say, twenty-four tons to the Govern ment: These ; tons, addyd to the foui furnished Begents Taylor and Nash, thc nine -furnished Tx Casa Carpenter,, and the seven shipped up the Greenville Bond, make up a total of forty-four tons, Assuming that' tho "virtuous" Josopl kept abont six tons for his own privat? us?, .we have a balance of . fifty tons tc account for?- Of: this quantity, we pro sume that about twenty-five tops reached the asylum. The asvlum has been usihf coal sinoe December 1st, last, say. Ai tho coal furnished by Crews had bee) exhausted before* the. middle, or abou the middle, of the present month, th< question is, how many tons of coal dosi the asylum consume in one and one-hal months? Certainly, twenty-five tons is i liberal estimate. If so, Joe Crews bough 100 tons of coal for the asylum, withou any proper authority so to do, and deli veredbut twenty-five-although paid fo 100 tons! Even the asylum is not spare by these latter-day Radical plunderers They will steal next from the ver, ohnrohes themselves. The style of Joseph Crews is to rc main silent under charges. When calle upon to account for $7,000 that ha been drawn by him when a member c the Committee of Investigation of th Third Congressional District, he flatt declined to answer, on the ground tha the answer would oriminate bimi Ant yet this man is a member of the Legit la tn re, a director on the G roon viii Road, a regent of the asylum, and bright and shining Badioal light!

The seoret, oath-bound orgwizatio which has been formed within the wal oi the Legislature, by the corrupt adht rents of the ring, is one of the events ( the day. lb shows the desperate strai1 to which the bond swindlers and tb plunderers of the Treasury have bee reduced. Thus we find that outlawi organizes itself in the very halls of I gi8lation, and the people's money used-to organise and buy up a faotio formed to throw the mantle of protectic aronnd the most outrageons set < offioials that ever plundered a fettere people.

Oar community ini Ooiambia are aware of the ojureo pursued by Soott toward the only white organization in this city-Capt. O'Nealo's company. They [ wer o long ago- disarmed, although the colored companies retained their arms, and hare,them now, and occasion? ally parado oar streets in all the pride and pomp of mimic .war. It will be seen, from the following notioe, that the rifle ol abs of peaceful Charleston haye been ordered by "hie Excel le noy" to give np their arma. This ia the order: HEAD Q'S SOUTH CAROLINA MILITIA, ADJ'T AND INBP'B GENERAL'S OFFICE, COLUMBIA, Jan. 6, 1872. Special Order No. 1. The following organizations in the city of Charleston, S. C.. will, on receipt of this order, tarn over all arms, equip? ments and ammunition, belonging to the State, now in their.possession, to Col. W. N. Taft, First Regiment N. G. S. C. By order of his Excellency the Go? vernor and Commander-in-Chief. F. J. MOSES, JR., Adjutant and Iuspeotor-Goneral S. C. We suppose that the vile Ohio adven? tarer distrusts the white maa. "Can't trna do white mau ho mo, he mast take de oaf." Wo advise the clubs quietly to give np the State arms, and, with eqnal oomplaoenoy, to provide themselves with guns and ammunition of their own. If Scott & Co. take the money of the tax? paying portion of our people to arm the colored militia, and further denies tho arms to white organizations, the outrage stands out in bold relief. But the reme? dy is plain. Let the whites provide themselves with arms. We admit that we have in "oar oas tia" at least twenty five Bhots, and we admit, farther, that ii Soott & Co. ever bring about a collision between the white and colored people, wo shall take occasion to suggest that the tall poppies shall first be oat down. Oar motto will be to spare the colored tools and not to spare the white and black chiefs. If this now be treason, make the most of it; but if it bo reasor, also, make the most ol it. There is i point beyond which forbearance oeaset to be a virtue, and let Soott & Co. under I stand that they may go beyond tba point. The following was the result of tin late judicial elections in the House: For Associate Justice ot the Saprem< Court-A. J. Willard, re-eleoted. For Judge of the First Circuit-R. F Graham, re-eleoted. For Judge of the Second Ci rou it-Jobi J. Maher, elected. For Judge of the Third Cirouit-Jobi T. Green, re-eleoted. For Judge of the Fonrth Cirouit Oharles P. Townsend, elected.

For Jadge of the Eighth Circuit James L. Orr, re-eleoted. Our readers are pretty well acquainte with the Jadges re-eleoted-Messrs. Wi! lard, Graham, Green, Melton, Moses an Orr. The new Judges are Messn Maher and Townsend. We regard thea selections very good, and we have reaso to believe that these gentlemen will dil oharge their duties well and impartially Mr. T. J.

THE RUB Ab CAROLINIAN.-We be leave to acknowledge the receipt, fro Messrs. Walker, Evans & Cogs we Charleston, S. C., of the bound volum of the Rural Carolinian up to October 1671, and of the remaining numbers i to February 1, 1872, These come to with the compliments of the enteprisii publishers. We fiod tho volumes ve attractive in matter and style, and 1 take occasion heartily to commend t RURAL CAROLINIAN. It is worthy of liberal support, and every man in Cai lina interested in the industry of t State ought to become a subscriber, ai help on the good work. The publiant are good and true men, to the mane born, and they deserve u generous su [port in their enterprise. Conf?d?__t? HORM. yt*} hare observad with iptereat in th? Charleston rapers the annual report o? the Con feederajte Home. Daring a period of fourteen months, there hate been re? sident in the institution 102 persona. Of this_umber, one-a very aged widow lady-had died. There are now in tue Home 101 p orso DB. The. expecs??* for f oort cen mon tbs wore 86,265.66, all of which have been met. The health of the institution -has been fine. The school at the Home, numbering about forty-five pupils, has been in sncoessful operation. The board began this year with fifty-five pupils, representing nearly every District in the State. The pnpiis of the school are not all beneficiary. There are pay pupils. Scholarships for the next year have been provided-one by Mr. Charles Saker, of Baltimore; one by Mr. J. Franois Fisher, of Philadel? phia; one by Mr. O. M. Maciganlt, Brighton, England, and one each by several ladies and gentlemen of Chnrles j ton. But one beneficiary can be re? ceived from one family. Upon the rolls of the Ladies' Home Association, there is an annual membership of 600. The annual payment of one dollar constitutes a membership. The gentlemen's associa? tion, auxiliary to the ladies', has un .annual membership o? 252, at $10 per annum. Effort is now making to in? crease this number to _00. Our co tem? porary of the Courier well says: "The objects for whioh the Widows' Home was established*-the relief of the widows of, those who perished in battle, or who may have died from disease con? tracted in the lino , of duty, and to edu? cate and provide for the orphan chil? dren, .who have been deprived by the war of their natural protectors'-must commend themselves to the humane everywhere. This noble institution should be fostered. It appeals to not only the sympathies of the people of South. Carolina, but it bas claims on their charity. Have we turned our back on the memorable past? Have we ceased to cherish in our heart of hearts the hallowed memories and glorious re? collections of the causo for whioh the sous of Carolina periled their lives, and many of whom sealed their dovotion to i te snored principles with their hearts' blood? Have we become so loyal as to banish from. our breasts the image of that valiant comrade who went down be? fore the red tide of battle? Forbit it, Heaven. Bather let us prove to the world that we .shrine in the warmest and holiest affections of the heart the me? mory of our dead comrades, whose com? mingled dust rests on hundreds of famous battle-fields. We earnestly hope that papers throughout the State will call attention to this Home for the Widows and Orphans of Confederate soldiers, and that their appeal for aid to carry on the institution will meet with a hearty and generous response. "The following are the officers eleoted at the business meeting, held yesterday morning: BOARD OF CONTBOL,, 1872.-Mrs. M. A,Snowden, President; Mies S. M. Mid? dleton, Yico-Prcsident; Miss M. B. Campbell, Secretary and Treasurer; Miss Jane A. Adger, Corresponding Secretary ; Mrs. I. S. Snowden, Mrs. Qeo. Robert? son, Miss Anna Simpson, Mrs. M. P. Matbiessen, Mrs. C. S: Vedder, Mrs. James Conner, Mrs. G. W. Olney, Mrs. Wm. Shepherd, Mrs. S. Y. Tupper, Mrs. F. J. Pelzer." Most earnestly do we commend the CONFED?RATE HOME to the support of our people. It is doing a great and a good work. We should esteom it a privilege no less than a dnty to help on the good work-a work educational in character and linked with the memories of a great and heroio effort on tho part of our people. Sustain the CONFEDE? RATE HOME. -? ?j ? > AORIOOLTORAIJ,-We have received the Southern Farm and Home,Uot January, 1872, published at Memphis, Tennessee; W. M. Brown, editor. This is au ex? cellent monthly, and this is a most in? teresting oopy. It is embellished with a fine portrait of ex-FreBident Davis. The opening art icio on a "Happy New Year" is unusually fine, containing no? ble, manly, hopeful views. Wo have also received tho Carolina Farmer, for January, 1872, published at Wilmington, N. C. ; W. H. Bernard, ed? itor and proprietor. This is a very fine agricultural monthly, and this January number is unusually well filled with se leot matter. "He who by the plow would thrive, Himself moat either hold or drive." This is the farmer's "healthy" .motto. We have, further, received the Gar? dener's Monthly, of Philadelphia, edited by Thos. Meehan. Speed tho plow! on with the hool We regret to find that yesterday, in copying from the Charleston News, and commenting on the plan for adjusting the State debt, we did injustice to our friond, Colonel Childs, who, wo find, denies any participation in tho proposed scheme. Nor did he have any intorview, as stated, with Governor Scott and Mr. Wesley. We cheerfully make known tie mistake, and relieve Colonel Childs ol the allegation of being one of the "financial tinkers." Wo assumed thal tho News was oorrect in its statement. Baking gjk? Stoat of Ito Opport anltlet ... Wtm KluUm M ?de to Pay. Wo havo frequently fastened apon the Thieves' Own and Grant's Oum-^the Union hore-ita large Bhare of th? re? sponsibility that attach?e to U for it? in? famous part in bringing. upon South Carolina Grant's troops, and all the ma? terial damage that has resulted to us from the military proceedings carried out in this State. It hsB made all the to OD ey it could out. of the State printing, and the indications are that its -slice of the pie has not been a small one. But it has, further, made all the money it oonld out of the Ku Klux trials. The fact of the matter is: This is precisely what these people are at. They are after the money, and, after filling their pock? ets, they expect to go elsewhere with their ill-gotten gains. No sooner had the Ku Klux trials been provided for, than the Union advertised freely that it would publish full reports of the trials, and it called upon the people of the State to subscribe to it at tho start. These people not only abase and injure the whites of the State, but they further call upon the whites to pay the expenses -and, we aro sorry to udd, that iu too many cases they do it. Hero, for in? stance, the Union haB bragged of the support it geiB from advertisers, and yet it has inflicted blow nfter blow upon the interests of Columbia. But to go un. After tho Ku Klux trials aro inaugurated, tho Union publishes verbatim reports, and, as we wore iuformed, got, hy some arrangement, eight cents per lino from the Uuited States Government, and yet it has had the audacity to claim that it was its private capital mid enterprise that had undertaken this work. But thin i j not all. It is to make more money yet. We learn, that it has secured a oopy-right of the Ku Klux proceedings, and thus it will make Ku Kluxism more valuable yet. We observe, for i us tau ce, that Hurley has offered a resolution to authorize the furnishing eaoh member of the House twenty-five copies, in .pam? phlet form, of the official proceedings of tho late Ku Klux trials held in this oity. We suppose some .'.loyal" Senator will do the same for the Senate. Thus we are to have tho State saddled with thc heavy expenses attendant upon furnish? ing eaoh member of the Legislature with twenty-five oopies of the voluminous proceedings of the Ku Klux trials. We submit that Tim. Hurley would have been doing the State far more service if he were to get the Legislature to distri? bute his own book on the robbories and rascalities of the State officials. In this way, come weal, oome woe, the Union must make money out of Ku Kluxism to the last If Ku Kluxism has not paid the State, it has been a fine pecuniary investment for the Union newspaper. Whipper said, in the House, that Soott had sent all the way to Washington and brought B. B. Elliott here for th? pur? pose of lobbying his (Scott's) measures through the General Assembly, and that for this servioe ScoU had paid Elliott six thousand dollars. .Whipper added, that the Governor had employed T. J. Mackey for the same purpose-all of which we regard very likely. We have said that the Union was paid by the Government of the United States eight cents a line for the publication, in detail, of the Ku Klux trials. It is due to fair dealing to say that the Union de? nies this; but it is also due to candor to add, that the Union's denial is by no means conclusive, as to the real facts of the case. ?-<???-? - THE NEW FIIIM OP FisuEn & SUBLIMAN. Wo desire to say a good word in behalf of this ynung firm in the drug business. We know both of these young men, and have long known them. They have had experience in their business, and are men of high character, of intelligence and marked sobriety. We believo they will deserve success, and that they will win it. We wish them well. They have launohed their bark upon the sea of bu? siness, and may prosperous winds fill its snils and bear it on to the haven of sue oess. ? ? ? ? The Columbia correspondent of the Charleston Courier predicts that the ex peoted fight in the Legislature will not bo much of a fight after all. The im? peachers aro defeated and Scott has tho powor in his own hands. I havo no doubt but that the joint report will, after the expenditure of a certain amount of legislative balderdash, be quietly laid aside and tho financial ring be left mas? ters of tho situation. According to Scott's mossago, there is no limit to the amount of bonds which ho may issue under tho laws authorizing their issue, and the inoome from the taxes not being sufficient to moot expenses, bonds will, doubtless, be issued as long as a dollar can bo raised upon them. There aro rumors oven now that the printors arc turning out new bonds to bo used its col? laterals. This year, 1872, is to havo but forty idx weeks, ns the other six will be Lout. Heavy! .'111 '? mmm? UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUBT.-Tho .aseof ex part? Joseph Crews, whioh wu an effort to put the Spartanburg aud Union Railroad Company into bank? ruptcy, was decided in Charleston in favor of the company, on Friday, aftor a lengthy debate between the counsel for the respective parties: Mr. Monteith opeued bis reply in tho following terms, after noticing the fuot that Attorney-General Chamberlain alono attributed improper tootivea to the peti? tioner whose "ways were dark and whoso tricks were vain." ' He said Mr. Crews wonld sustain no greater surprise than when he learned that tho Attorney-Gene? ral, professing his intimacy with Mr. Crows, and familiarity with his motives, bad, in his absence, assumed the role of Bill Nye and "went for the Heathen Chinee." He said he was sure that he stated the sentiment in the opinion of all persons in Columbia, that it came with ill grace from the Attorney-General to indulge in abuse of Mr. Crews, who, it waa well known, acted generally under the advice of Mr. Chamberlain; and the general opinion was that they hunted in couples, if there was no conflict between them; aud when a conflict arose between them, it then was diamond out diamond. By AS.-It is generally conceded that TUE LEGISLATIVE ASS is Byas. He quotes dog Latin. The correspondent of the Charleston Courier thus refers to the "young man" from Orangeburg: In tho beginning of his very extended but not very lucid remarks, Mr. Byas expressed the hope that he wonld not no, never-BO far forgot himself as to in? dulge in the uso of suoh language as would disgrace tho HOOBO of Represen? tatives or any other mau. Tho nefari? ous language to wbioh he referred was ho infamous as to puzzle the member's vocabulary. It was, said ho, infamous, contemptible, dirty, uasiy. He had never heard the likes of it. So far as the member from Charleston (Mr. Bowen) was conoerned, ho (the orator) did not have any ase for him. Ever since he had aoou8od bim (Byas) ol having in his pocket a cheek for $12,000, whioh he had received for voting for Scott, he > mistrusted him-"Falsus in unus,/alsus in lotus," The honorable member did not stop to translate this allegorical cat Latin quotation, whioh Tim. Hurley swears was a threat, bot proceeded forthwith to review the points of Mr. Bowen's re? marks. He spent the next three hours in endeavoring to show that the issue of bonds charged as being fraudulent was legal, and that it would be a dangerous precedent to arrest Kimpton. The scene in the House during this time was of that peculiar type that belongs atone to the Legislative halls of reconstructed Sooth Carolina. The members seemed to have made np their minds to sit ont the thing, and dis? ported themselves in various suggestive positions. Hurley stood like a martyr throughout the whole proceeding, with kn open copy of the report before him. A rural member on tho opposite side sported his heels on bis desk, and inves? tigated the contents of a half-pint of pindars. Another less voracious Repre? sentative had lulled himself into a de? lightful state of oblivion, At the re? porter's desk, a large bundle of pies were being immolated for the benefit of the press; while the monotony was re? lieved by frequent egresses on the part of the listeners beyoud the bar, who in? variably returned with a smell of bad oom whiskey hanging about their breaths. Mr. Byas had his listeners and he did not spare them, but rolled his R's in a most vicious manner, as he proclaimed his intention to defeat these men, (mean? ing the impeachers,), who wanted to "Rule or Ruin the State." Having proved to his own satisfaction tliat the Governor was as innocent as a sheep, and that the State of South Carolina was in a oondition, financially, to be envied by the whole world, Mr. Byas con? cluded his remarks, by thanking the House for the respectful attention paid him, a bit of superfluity, considering the faot that Well, Mr. Byas having concluded, and subsided into a state of quietude, Mr. Harley arose, upon a question of privi? lege. * He regretted that Soott had taken suoh a revenge as to inflict a speech from the member from Orangeburg upon the House. He knew that the member was like himself-"he knew what he knew and he knew it himself." He then proceeded to defend the report of the committee, and was, in turn, suc? ceed od by Gen. Whipper, who, after de? molishing Byas with a fow preliminary remarks, pulled off his gloves and went into tho Governor. SCOTT'S SPECIAL MBSSAOB.-Tho New York World says: "The special message sent in to the Legislature by Gov. Soott, of Sonth Ca? rolina, on the 9th instant, is an ill-tem? pered document, whioh shows muon as to the intestine qnr.rrels of the Republi? can leaders in that State, but nothing of any importance in disproof of the griev? ous frauds alleged against the oarpst-bag Government. The Governor's great ar? gument is, that his acouser, Bowen, is himself an unsavory character, or, in tho language of the message, "seeks, under tho garb of tho impeacher, to hide tho brand of the convict." Bowen is certainly no angel, bat tho man who only escaped impeachment by a liboral division of his ill-gotten gains with his judges, is not sufficiently bis superior to bo his oritic. Relativo to tho true oon? dition of South Carolina flnnnoo, the message, of course, leaves tho exaot mag? nitude of tho Stato debt as problemati? cal as before. Tho Governor says 812,. 000,000, tho impeachers 329,000,000, and tho truth is nearer the latter extreme, wo fancy, from all the facts, than the former."

The Palmetto Steam Fire Engine Com? pany request ns to return their sincere thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Watkins for a donation of $50-the proceeds of au entertainment for their benefit. Had it not been ipr the inclement weather, double that amount would, doubtless, have been realized. ? Messrs, E. E. Davis ? Co,, of. the "Useful Store," on Plain street, will ac? cept our thanks for a brace of large Eng? lish wild ducks-? ?ampi? of what they occasionally have on hard. Poultry and game is what they deal in principally, and house-keepers can bo saved consi? derables worry, when oalled upon to fur? nish a harried dinner, by sending round and obtaining some of their birds. For the farewell performance, the Watkius management gave three sepa? rate pieces, last night. They were well rendered-as all their pieces have been. As comedians-more ? especially in tho Irish line-Mr. and Mrs- W. rate with the best. We bid them farewell with regret. A new house-furnishing establishment has been opened ia the Columbia Hotel building, by Messrs. Kingsland & Heath. They claim to have a complete etook, and invite examination. WO notice reports of several Leap Tear parties in the Mississippi towns. They are rather crowding the thing, and the bachelors ought to get mad about it. There is.bat one day in this year be? longing entirely to the ladies, according to old usage, and that is Thursday, tho 29th of February. The Washington Republican says "loyalty," before the war, "had very lit? tle hold apon the Southern nature." Perhaps it had, but since the war, it bas had a hold upon a vast amount of South? ern plunder. A toast "drank at a dinner, recently, was "women-the ouly endurable aris? tocrats, elects without ballot, governs without law, and decides without ap? peal." ifcThe popular superstition that over? turning the salt is unlucky originated in a picture of the Last Sapper by Leo? nardo de Yinoi, in which Jadas Iscariot is represented as over-turning the salt. The editor of the Sentinel says that he once knew a wild and ugly yoong man, who laid a wager with his oomrades that he could turn the heads of nearly every lady in the town. On Sunday, he dressed ia his best, went to church very late and walked ap the aisle, and every girl in the village tamed their heads to see who it was. It is of no advantage to have a lively mind, if we are not just. The perfec? tion of the pendulum is not to go fast, but to be regular. It is said that two large spots can now be seen on the sun. Perhaps he has oome in contact with some of the planets and got a "black eye." An eminent physician says that a good coat of gum-arabic muoilage, applied every night to corns, will, in a short time, cause the posts to take their final departure.
