COLUMBIA, S. C. We dnesday Morning, September 3,1873 Ilotaesty Not m Creatore or Salary. Honesty is not a relative terra? A man is either honest or dishonest, and there oan be no neutral ground between; the boundaries meet, and those who are not on one. side are on the other. The defences lately set up in justification of thoso Who participated in the buck pay steal are almost entirely based on the idea, that it is neoeesary, in order to preserve man's honesty, that ho should reoeivo high pay. The mental disposi? tion whioh runs in danger of yielding ?to a temptation offered, can hardly be considered, in the striot senso of the term, honest. The very essence of this virtue ooneiata in the ability to resist every advance on its purity, and its de? fiance to the lures of pecuniary gain. The argument, that it is neoessary to defend the integrity of a public officer, by giving"him what he considers ade? quate pay, is fallacious. . A man of pro? bity would remain so, were his income higher or lower.- yTo say that a repre? sentative of the peoplo is either faithful or dishonest, according to the amount of salary ho reeeives, is a mischievous doctrine, which bas for a long time af? fected popular ideas of propriety in public office, and baa given rise to the opinion, that it places additional secu? rity around thoso who are in positions courting temptation. The judge on the bench who needs the stimulation to up? rightness of an increased stipend, could hardly be ono in whom a people could place confidenco. The assumption im? plies the total absenoo of such a virtue, and would lead to the inference that the lato Senator Broderick was correct when he said that money would buy every man, even the President. Such a pro? position bears its refutation on its*face. If some men think reasonable people can bo deceived by such specious logic, we think time will show the egregious mistake. The power to resist tempta? tion is an internal will,, and is not in the least subservient to auy outside neces? sity. Olay, Oalhoun, Benton and Web? ster, pertinently suggests the New Or? leans Picayune, although they enjoyed Washington society and its extravagant style of living, never oonoeived it in . dispensable to the preservation of their moral well-being that the country should save them from the dangers of bribery by an augmentation of their yearly eala-1 ries. The whole dootrine is pernicious, I and until men appreciate that honesty is honest for its own sake, and that policy is not what leads men to resist prostitu? tion of trusts, but it is the inherent vir? tue itself. It is a sad commentary on our times, when such reasons are given for the advocacy of measures so plainly hostile to every cauou of propriety and truth. Within the past two weeks ten steam? ers have landed 12,000 persons on our shores, and all report many more com? ing. Upon this, the knowing ones of New York base a calculation, setting down that not less than 288,000 immi? grants may bo confidently expected to arrive before the summer of 1874, has fairly set in. These will probably bring with them in gold not less than $25, 000,000. They will add to the produc? tive force of the country almost an equal number of laborers, for all for? eigners who come to us come to work. A large per oentage of these immigrants are Germans and Scandinavians, most of whom will seek homes in the West, and many of whom icould come to the South were tho proper inducements held out or tho proper step taken to in? form them with rofereuco to the true character of our seotion of tho country. It is certainly well worth looking after. Tbo great influx of population in the United States causes certain journals to talk largely of "extending tho bounda? ries of the republic." Now, tho repub? lic is sufficiently lurgo for all now here, and for all who will bo likely to coruo for the next century. Let the waBtc de? serts of Colorado, Montana, Idubo and the great ? undeveloped country about tbo "heart of tho continent" be settled, before wo talk of annexing territory. Besides, here in the South are hundreds of acres of oultivablo land awaiting tue coming cultivator. 4 *t m * Fiue on Sullivan's Island.?About half-past 7 o'olock, yesterday morning, the cottago residence of Mr. N. S. Hart began smoking through the roof, and was soon found to be on fire in -the eastern part of the main building. Owing to the laok of means at hand to subdue the flames, they rapidly made headway, destroying the residence aud subsequently the out-buildings. The balk of the furniture was saved through the exertiou3 of friends. .

Editob: I, for one, have long thought thai manufacturing is the all important neceaaiiy io build up out city, and if tho capita*..' can be subscribed at all, would it not; be better to form a company and buy land adjacent io our railroads, build a mill, and run it by steam. It has been said, enterprises in the South do not succeed. This I deny. Vide Granitoville, AuguBta, Co? lumbus, Ga., and many others. Be? cause a man has beon a auocossf ul gene? ral or merchant, that'* no reason why he should be able to keepa hotel. If men here are not competent, is there any difficulty in companies obtaining the services of experts'from Europe or the North? The proposition of Sprague & Co. is asking the people to act as oats' paws to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. They claim to have spent near $200,000 on the canal, but what have they to show for it? They propose to put their property (but no money) in as so much stook, pro? vided the citizens subscribe $325,000 in cash. This is entirely too thin. How long would it be before Sprague & Co. would own the whole? We might get a small manufactory, but oan we afford, in our present financial condition, to throw away $325,000 for suoh a consi? deration? I would say, in closing, Mr. Editor, that I also think it would be well for our people to pause before taking stock in any complicated, tied-up water power company, before knowing how thoy are to get their money back; aud last, but not least, to reflect upon an assertion, that the Bteam cotton factories of Lowell aro competing successfully with those run by water power. STEAM. A Paupeu Milmokat.be.?J. P. Han best, Esq., of Philadelphia, entered the profession of law nearly thirty years ago, with the determination to accumu? late a largo fortune. Ho obtained his wish. He died a fow days since, leaving an eetatu of about $1,000,000, a very handsome figure, for one-fourth of which the majority of lawyers would bo willing to abandon tho noble profession, with its briefs and dusty records, its calf-skin librarieB and the painful ?'vigils of twenty years." It is noL very clear in what way the deceased million? aire attorney contrived to extract en? joyment from tho use of his money. He was a first class shyster, and chased money as if it wero the chief good in the universe. His clients were of the poorest and lowest class, and he never touched a oase unless his fees were paid in advance, or a bond glvan him that made them perfootly secure. He pur? chased a large amount of roal estate, but reserved for himsolf onlyono room, which was his bed-chamber, dining room and law office. In a oertain suit it happened that several prominent law? yers of Philadelphia had to have a con? ference with Hanbest at his room, where they found him sitting at his desk with a mass of papers before him, a ohioken pot-pio in a basin on hin lap, from which he picked out the tit-bits with his fiugors and then deposited tho boned on the floor at his side along with the BOraps of bis previous meals. Fi? nally the poor wretch was stricken with paralysis in his limbs. His heart had been paralyzed long before. All he could now do was to lie iu his bare and carpetless room like a bloated spider, watching his prey, in the shape of an occasional olient. Not a friend was by him to administer to bts wants nor con? sole him. He was destitute of the com? monest comforts of tho sick room. He tried to make a will, leaving a few small bequests to bis listers and brother, and then endeavored to purchase a ticket to Heaven by bequeathing tho bulk of his property to charitable institution-!. As he died a few days afterward, the will did not meet tho requirements of the Pennsylvania law iu regard to time, which renders null and void the public bequests of a will executed within one calendar month of the decease of the testator; these charitable gifts which he intended become inoperative, und the entire estate will bo divided among the children of two deceased brothers, the living brother and two sisters. His wealth thus at last will go to some of the very persons whom hu hoped to cut off from its benefits. So eudud tho iu oessaut, painful and cheerless toils uf thirty years. The result could not have been more worthless by any contrivance of human ingenuity. ?-???-- ? ? Tue Lateness or the Cotton Chop. The very strikiug difference between the receipts of cottou last year and tho pre? sent at Now Prleaus, is stated u.s follows in tho Times, of tho 3(Jth August: "There havo beon further receipts of G2 bales of new crop this week, making the total to dato 71 bales, includiug one from Texas, ngaiust 1,011 bales lust year, includiug 210 from Texas. Tho crop aooounts have been much more discouraging, and caused a pretty gene? ral reduction of estimates." Tho Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of Thursday, says fivo bales of tho now crop of cotton wero received in this city yesterday, making seven, ho far. By this time last year, not less than Ilfin h*.] boon received. Whether coincidences aro creatures of mere chance, or whether there be a refined unseen connection botweou in? dependent events of liko character hap? pening at different times, tho scientists have not dcoided. Lately, at Newmar? ket, N. H., Miss Jennie liurnham was drowned on tho same spot where her undo, grauu-iatuor and greatgranH father perishod. That all should have mot a similar death at long intervals is singular, but that they all should havo lost their lives in the same body of wit? ter is remarkable. Proposals will be i.ceived at army headrjuartois for tho removal oi th'u wrecks of three blockade-runners sunk iu Charleston Harber during the war, ReiamptioW ?if Specie Payment*?Dir. Treasurer Spinner's Ltltir. Mr. P. E. Spinner, who is really the banker of th* United Siatss, having at oommand many millions of gold and many millions more of greenbacks, has written a letter to H. 03terberger, Esq., editor of the German-American EoonO' mist, :(at Fiankfort-on-the-Main, Ger? many.) It seems that this German ed? itor has been indulging in some criticism npon the management of tha finances of tho United StatfcB, provoked by a pro? position of one Mr. Riddle, who pro? fesses to have discovered a short and royal road to the resumption of specie payments. We infer that the German editor, seeems to consider the Govern? ment of the United States as a sort of bankrupt affair, bat not so badly broken but that it might regain its credit among the nations of the earth by the exercise of better financial akilt, and points out a method thereto. So far as the argument with tho German goes, Mr. Spinner's letter is of bat little importance to us. Bat as Mr. Spinner's ohirography pene? trates every nook and corner of our land, and regulates all transactions of our do? mestic economy, Mr. Spinner's views as (to the time when, and tho manner by I which, we arc to gat baok to the normal condition of respectable nations, by the resumption of specie payments, become all-important to us. It will be seeu that the Treasurer advocates now, as he bus heretofore advoaated, resumption at a fixed period in the future, with a three years' notice. We doubt if Buch notice will ever be given. Indeed, tho array of the classes who ate and will be op? posed to such a notice, presented by Mr. Spinner himself, seems quite suffi? cient to justify the assumption that such a notice never will be given so long us politicians go to Congress. Tho array seats aide by 6ido the debtor class, the manufacturers and tbo national banks. Such au arruy will control political ma? jorities, und political majorities are far too formidable for politicians, in power or out of power, to faoo. The other pe? riod which the Treasurer indicates us the time at which resumptiou will be "easy and como of its owu accord," is "when the balance of trade shall bo in our favor." Whew! Clearly, this will not be in our day and generation, and if this bo tho only period at which we may look for such a crisis us the resumption of specie payments will bring, wo may lie down with the consolation that no evil from this source can befall us. We are not sure, however, that the Treasur? er of tho United States is correct. A circular from one of the lending Wall street bankers tells us that $300,000,000 of United States bonds have been sent to Europe this year. This indicates n largo bulauco of trade against us. It in? dicates further, that either fho Uuited States mast coutiuue tho sapply, or there will be a crisis. We subjoin the following extract from tho Treasurer's letter, so that oar readers may nee aud "reckon" for themselves: "More than woven years ago, I urged, by letters then written and otherwise, the enactment of n law compelling tho resumption of specie payments on a day in the future to be fixed?say, three years from the passage of such Act; and I still thick this to be the safest and the surest way of any that has as yet been proposod to bring about the much-de? sired result. Under the operation of such a law, the whole volume of paper currency?that of the national banks as well as that of the Government?would immediately begin to appreciate in value, and wonld continue to do so gra? dually, but certainly, until, at the time I fixed for resumption, the paper cur I reucy would become the equivalent, of I coin. Many obstacles have thus far I been, and they continue to be, iu the way of resumption of specie payments. Tho friends of a sound currency have themselves retarded the return to specie payments, by insisting that tho only way to bring about the desired result is to reduce tbo volume of tbo paper cur? rency; that the first duty of the Govern? ment is to returu to specie payments, and that the exchange of loans bearing a high rate of interest for a lower cue should be deferred until after that event. This has enlisted the opposition of a very largo class of our citizens, who nro otherwise sound on tho main question, but who contend that it is better, and more economical* withal, to retire the loans ou which a high ruto of interest is paid, than a loan ou which no interest whatever is paid. Then come the real opponents of the measure per se. Chief among theso is the debtor class, which j in this country is largely in the ruajo I ril}'. Tho persons constituting this ma? jority desire to pay their debts with ! cheap money. Next come the manufac? turers. These huvo learned that tho! suspension increases their protection; against the importation of foreign fa-; bncH, by the amount that the paper money is depreciated bel.iw that in which import duties are collected. Thon come tbo national banks, which by sus? pension are4reliovod from the, to them, most irksome duty, tho redemption of tho circulating notes in coin. There are many other interests that naturally combine with those named, al! acting in the firm belief that tho suspension of I specie payments is bcnolicinl to them. Our Govornmont being strictly repre? sentative, of course a large majority of the ruembera of Congres3 aro elected to represeut and to carry out theso views of their constituents. " Thus resumption has boon, and I think will continue to be, put off, until the time yoa spoak of, 'when the balance of trade shall bo in our favor.' Whcu that time arrives, ru sumption will be easy in truth; it will from that cause come of its own accord. But really I oan'fc, for tbo life of me, cue how the fact how we conduct our com? mercial relations at home, whether out* douiestio exchanges of commodities arc made fnrough a paper or metalio me? dium, can affect the v.ii !?? of our ua-! tioual securities abroad. It is expressly stipulated that the in tercet on onr loans shall bo paid in coin. Aud in tho oaao of the new fife tier oents, the coin to be paid in iiqaidatton of both the principal and the interest is to bo of the full in? trinsic value, as expressed in'flollarsi of the present gold coin of the United StateB. The conversion of Government stocks from a higher to-a lower rate of I interest is now progressing quite as-fast M the present available force ?l the Treasury Department can comfortably , manage it, and the prospect of its con [ tinuauce seems to bo pretty oertsinly as Bured. It is now a question with the Secretary, whether he will continue the exohange for a ?ve per oent. stock, or I wait until he ein place the new stock at 4hj, or even at 4 percent." Death of ran Oldest Journalist in the Country.?It becomes our sad duty to announoe the deatb of Mr. Jacob N. Cardoza, who died in this city on Satur? day night last, at tho advanced age of eighty-sovon yeare. Tho deceased was born in Savannah, June 17, 1736. About tho year 1790 his family removed to Charleston, S. C, where he received a plain English education, aud from bn twelfth year was put to mechanical and meroantilo pursuits. Iu 1810 he be? came editor of the Southern Patriot newspaper in Charleston, of whioh, in 1823, ho became solo proprietor. He had long studied the principles uf trade, commerce aud tiunnae, and his purpose from tho lirst was to render his journal especially the organ of free trade doctrines. Having a constant view to those commercial questions in which the interests of tho Southeru Stutes were involved, the commercial relatious of tho Uuitcd States with the British West Iudia Islands, iu their restricted condition, engaged a largo share of his attention. The removal of these re strictious was an object of constant so-j licitudo with Mr. Mouroe's administra? tion. To force a relaxation by tho British Government, Congress iu 1813 and 1820 adopted counteracting regulu-1 tioua. These, whatever their effect on tho British, were found to be oppres? sive on Southern commerce. Iu 1822,1 various seaport towns of the South, such as Norfolk and Baltimore, peti? tioned Congress for their removal. The city of Charleston was so far incliued to .second the movement that u large public mealing was held aud a memorial was j drafted for its adoption, Mr. (Jaidoza rogarded the case as an exceptional one, and opposed the memorial. He argued against unlimited intercourse when reciprocity was denied, and at au ad? journed meeting of the citizens tho me? morial was rejected, leaving the whole matter as before?in tho hands of Con? gress aud the Executive.' Tho result, I which was arrived at in the countervail? ing resolutions of Congress, was soon seen in the partial removal of tho Bri? tish restrictions. When this was done I President Mouroe opened tho ports of tho Uuited States to the vessels of the British West Indies. . Mr. Cardoza took an active part in the establishment, in 1S23, of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce. The tariff of 1824 met with little or no oppo? sition from the South. When, in 1827, an increase of protection wus agitated, it resulted iu the Act of 1828. Mr. C. brought tho subjeot before tho Cham? ber, and was oue of a committee to draft a memorial to Congress, which was uuanimousiy adopted by tho citizons of Charleston in a publio meeting. The arguments on the subjeot, however new, rapidly made their way into the public mind uf that State, and constituted the chief political capital of tbo press aud party. The agitation ripened into nul? lification, the controversies upon which began in 1828. Mr. Cardoza continued his opposition to the protective tariff, .still maintained his freo trade argu? ments, but declined to adopt the ex? treme practical results to which nullifi? cation was expected to couduct. The advocates of nullification succeeded in this State, but Mr. Cardoza forfeited none of the public esteem in conse? quence of his course He continued to conduct tho Southern Patriot, keeping it steadily the exponent of tho commercial principles of which he bad so' long been the advocate, until 1315, when he sold tbo paper, and scon after, iu tho samo year, established tho Evening News, an? other daily paper, with which ho was associated during its existence uu com? mercial editor. The reputation of I he deceased as a sound political economist, has loug I been acknowledged by the Southern i public, though few knew how exten? sively ho had written on nil the subjects I we hnvo indicate. 1. lie contributed ! many able articles ou his favorite j theme;, to the Sinthern tjuarlerly Jie I rie?o and other periodicals, and iu 182? I published a volume entitled "Notes ou j Political Economy," which attracted ; much attention. He may bo said to have coutinued his connection with tho : press, to tho close of his life. During j the war, ho filled editorial positions ou I the papers of Mobile, Atlanta and i Charleston, and after the war was a con? tributor to the Morning News, for which ho continued to write, uutil about a year ago, when the almost entire loss of eyo sight compelled him to abandon his pen. Notwithstanding the physioal iu iirmities of old ng?, ho retained his mental vigor to the last in a most re? markable degree. We believe he was at the timo of bis death the oldest editor iu tho South, if not in the Union. [Savannah News, A Horrible Death.?A colored child diod on Saturday, in Marsh street, from lho effects of uu accidental scalding.
