To THE PEOPLE OP SOUTH CAROLINA : Op the 16th day of Ootober next, ycu will be oalled on to eleot the various men who shall fill the various offices in the State Government for thu next official term. The condition of the affairs of the State at this time causes the gravest con? cern and most serious anxiety in the minds of all good citizens. Taxation unprecedented in amount in the history of this State weighs upon tho people. No man but feels the burden; but how? ever and by whatever channels the taxos reach the Treasury, they como finally, in great part, from those who till the soil, in the form of reduced wages, and the increased cost of food, clothing and other necessary expenses of a comfort? able existence. The hard hand of toil largely paye the expenses of the State, though the money may be deposited in the Treasury by those who own tho capi? tal and the land. Let no man flatter himself, therefore, that his poverty ren? ders this subject of taxation one of in? difference to him. Besides the vast sums which have boen drawn from the people by direct taxa? tion, our rulers have been heaping other burdens upon us and our posterity, by enormous, and in many cases fraudu? lent, issues of bonds, the very interest upon which is a sum so large that it seems impossible to pay it. Conceal? ment of the real state of our affairs has been practiced to a criminal extent; re? port utter report, statemeut after state? ment, has been made by the financial officers of the State, making false exhi? bits of our public debt; and it was only wheu an outraged public opinion de? manded and compelled au investigation, that our real situation was developed, and was found to justify tho worst ap? prehensions which had boen felt. The public mind is too familiar with the fucta to require more to be said con corning the bond frauds; but it is worth while to consider here the question, what has become of the money so lavishly poured into the Treasury? To what ob? jects have we seen it appropriated by those who, under the law, are appointed to disburse it? Have the rights of per son and property, whioh it is the specia function of good government to guard, been secured? Have the children of tin people been furnished with the means o: that education whioh alone can fit then worthily to perform the duties of citizen ship? Have the humane institutions ii charge of the State been cared for' Have the resources of tho State boon developed, its industries fostered, itt present and future welfure provided foi with reasonable prudence? Tho answers to these questions are ii the mouths of all the people. We an ashamed to be compelled to confess tba the State Government has failed to pro tect the citizens, not only in the enjoy ment of those rights and privileges in tended to be seonred by the provision of the State and National Constitutions but even in those more limited right which no respectable civilized Govern ment ou earth allows to be violated ii the persons of its subjects; and it ha been the strong arm of (he Federal Gc vernment which has released thousand of men, women and children from a tei ror with whioh they could not fail to b filled by countless outrages perpetrate upon their friends, relatives and neigt bore, by conspirators, whose deeds th world reads of with horror. The publio schools have been cripple in their work, and in many cases closet: because their teachers applied in vain t the State Treasury for the small salarie justly due them and necessary to the: daily support. ? The inmates of the Lunatic ?sylui must have been turned loose upon tb community, but for the humaue effort of its efficient Superintendent, wh pledged his private credit to obtain foo nobody would sell on that of this grei State. The doors of the penitential may bo flung wide open any day, to allo the exit of a band of oonviots, whom tl warden cannot feed, becauso there is 1 money in tho State Treasury to pureba: food. The judgeB of your courts hai not been puid their salaries for mar months, and are compelled, iu mo coses, to borrow money to supply tl wants of themselves and their familie and to be subjected to tho temptatioi too often placed by rich saitors before judiciary irregularly or inadequate paid. It would be easy to continue at almo any length in enumerating what has bet loft undone which ought to have bei done. It is easier to say what has bei done whioh ought to hare been left u done. Jobs of every conceivable d scription have been undertaken, the i terests of tho State have been constant and systematically sot asido to enrii those who sorupled at no kind of bribe or corruption to secure such logislatii as the jobbers required. Public money has been squalider for objects of no pnblio moment. T expenses of some branches of the G vernment have been so enormously j creased as to astonish all who are n familiar with the oharacter of many those who All important positions in t State Government. ..Pay certificates," drawn by t Speakorof the House of Repr?sentativ? purporting to be for expenses of the h session, to the amount of over $1,00 OOO, have already appeared at the Tn sury and been paid or exchanged for t notoa of tho Treasurer, and it in et mated by those in a position to jnd wisely, that $250.000 in "pay cert cates" is still afloat in the community, be presented whenever there is any p bability of their being allowed. Tl will make the expenses of a singlo s sion of tho General Assembly o' $1,250,000, or moro than 4,000 per ce of the sum whioh was formerly cousid od sufficient to pay thom. Euormons sums havo been lavished pretended support of an "armed fore which is notoriously non-existent. The most corrupt practices have 1 tai ned io the making of contracts by State officials. The contract with the Roberts and other arms companies of New York, nnder which there was drawn from the State Treasury over $200,000, while said arma company received less than $90,000, is a type of the manner in which the State Treasury has been de? pleted. The public are familiar with the enormous extent of the bills for State printing. Formerly this item of ex? pense for a session of the Legislature was not one-fiftieth, certainly uot one fortieth, of what it has been during the year past. But to catalogue the abuses existing in the executive and legislative branches of the State Government, would not ouly weary our patience and sicken your hearts, but one who should attempt to characterize them would beg? gar the English language in looking fot fit terms. You already know them ic gross. You can hardly appreciate theil enormity in detail till you examine thc facts and figures. We allude to but t few of them aa specimens of the kind o expenses that have brought the credit oj South Carolina so low that there is "nom so poor to do it reverence," and whiot have made the government of the Stat? so odious to the people of the wholi country. lu this condition of affairs, what is tb. duty of the Republican party? Tues wrongs ara in no way the result of th' action of its principles. They arise fron the greed, and selfishness, and corrup tion of those who have stolen the gar! of Republicanism to cloak their evi deeds, and who should be cast out of th company of honest Republicans an honest men, as having degraded thei high calling. Our plain duty points to this; ou obvious interests demand this; the inte rests of party demand it; the interests c the State demand it; a decent regard fa the opinions of mankind demand it We must put forward for official pos tion those, and those only, who at kuowu as upright, true and unBtaine men, whoso Republicanism is as ui doubted as their integrity and. their ct pacify to perform the functions of tl offices for which they aro nominate) Within tho lines of the Republican part our work lies. There are honest hear and wiso heads enough in that party I do our work. Every good citizen, wha ever his party affiliations may have beei owes it to himself to work to purify at regenerate our State Government; b the work especially belongs to us. V oaunot abandon it to our political adve ?aries, until we have demonstrated oi inability to do it ourselves. With this necessity upon us; in i emergenoy more exigent than has exie ed in the history of our party in Sou Carolina; with the eyes of the Nation Republican party upon ns, and expet ing ne to rise to the demands of the occ sion, like honest men, the Oonventii now in session in this city boa placed nomination, as a candidate for Governc the one man whose officials acts ha brought upon the State, and the po tiona he has held, more disgrace th has attached to any other offices of t State Government. Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the pera who, as Adjutant and Iospeotor-Gener made the oontraot with the Robe Arms Company. We do not know tl he received any part of th? $114,C which disappeared in its transit from t office of the Finanoisl Agent of the Sti of South Carolina, in New York, to 1 office of the Roberts Arma Company;! we do know that it disappeared. 1 Financial Agent's books show that it \ pt id; the arms company's books ah that they did not receive it. Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., was the pera who, as Speaker of the House of Ri resentutives, flooded the State with shower of "pay certificates," and swel the expenses of that House, for a sin session, from $145,000, (the high possible figuro to which they co amount legitimately, and this is ba on most extravagant calculations,) quite, or over, a million dollc And thia palpable violation of 1 this direct filching from tho Treasury neither denied by him nor his frier bnt is excused on the ground that disposed of a large amount of these < titicates in favor of the poor people v lied from the persecutions of the Klux Klan. Was candidato ever bel driven to straits like this? A false < tificate, a fraudulent and unlawful d of public money from the public T Bury acknowledged, and the act defen on tho ground that the money was posed of in charity! Yet eveu this famous excuse is wanting, when wo ki that not one per cent, of these un! fully issued certificates waa thus disp< of, and when we daily observe the ? of living this candidate holds-a a befitting a profligate millionaire, but possible to an honest man, with the 1 timate iucome of a Speaker of the H< and an Adjutant and Inspeotor-Gem We do not attempt to explain the ei of $11,000 against the "armed fo; appropriation, paid to Mr. F. J. Mc Jr.; but the known character of Speaker of the House, aud his caree that office, awaken a suspicion very defined, whioh he baa not only fails olear up, bnt has allowed the matte go unexplained, though for many i it baa been commented on by the n papers, and though it would seem tc all-important that ho ehould explaiu those whose suffrages he was aolioiti Wa are straight Republicans; i will go farther than we in any pat duty or honor, to serve the inter?s the Republican party. The causo o Republican party is dear, unspeak dear, to us; its principle of tho equ of all men before tho law is that psi lar jewel which outshines, with us, c brilliant in its casket. But hones office, capacity in administration, fie to public trusts, are principles v cannot bo ignored by true Rupubli aud we cauuot endorse tho action Convention which ignored thea iu its selection of a candidate the higbopt State office, hov "regular" that Convention may be. We have, therefore, joined in a movement for the nomination of au independent, true Republican ticket; a ticket contain? ing the names of men whose fidelity to the dictates of honesty and duty is as well known as their zeal in the causo of true Republicanism. They are firm sup? porters of the nomination of Grant and Wilson, and of the great measures of the national Republican party which has placed them in nomination, while they add to their oharaoter for integrity, su? perior capacity and ardent patriotism. We appeal to the voters of the State of South Carolina to support them, knowing that their election will give us a wise, honest, energetio administration of the State Government, and that they will, regardless of their private interests or the private interests of any set of men, make it their business to repair, to the extent of their ability, the injuries the body politio has suffered by waste, extravagance, fraud and incompetency. Now is the acoepted time to route yourselves and throw off the incubus whioh has lain, worse than a night-mare, upon our State; and whioh will be ten? fold increased in its horrors should Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., be seated in the execu? tive chair. Refuse to avail yourselves of this opportunity, and ere many months have passed over our heads, dire disaster, without a parallel even in our disastrous experience, may be confidently antici? pated.

TO TUB PUB Lal C t The Trasteos of the Public Library of Ken? tucky, being satisfied, from the large sale of tickets already made, and tho daily increas? ing demand for them, that there will be no occasion for postponing the second drawing in the Oift Concert in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky, have instructed mo, as their agent and manager of the Oift Concort, to say to the public and ticket-holders that the drawing will positively take place on September 29, proximo, and will not be post? poned. An active demand for ticket s comes from every State and Territory of th? United Bt&teB, and from the Canadas, giving aesnr anco to the Trustees that no circumstances oan prevent i drawing at the appointed time. A sufficient clerical force is engaged to keep up with tho orders for tiokets, and in order that this office may be relieved of the im? mense pressure incident to the business for tho week or two immediately preceding the drawing, agonts especially, and those desi? rous of procuring tiokets, are requested to seed in their orders immediately, as saleB will have to bo closed in time to make the necessary preparations for the drawing. It ls tho wish of the management to fill every ordor for a tioket, as wall as to sell all the tickets, but those who apply first must first be supplied; and if thoso who put off baying until sales are olosod have their money re? turned, instead of tho tickets ordered, as in the first Oift Concert in December last, when thousands of dollars that came too late were sent back, they will have none to blame bat themselves.
