COLUMBIA, S. C. 8it>d>>;Moralag.gebmaty 8,1B74, Try ?11 Thlngn. * Wo made so mo referoMo, yeaterduy, to the course taken by Mr: J. P. Moore, member of the Legislature from Green? ville, in opposition to the Tax-Pay era' Convention, which is to be held on the 17th instant. We do not oare to allude any | farther to the mieoonoeption he ?'earned to be laboring nnder, that one o! the prime objects of the convention will be to repudiate the recent aotion of the Legislature in passing the Funding Ast, or to his viaws of its value as a set? tlement. We do not any more than Mr. Moore think it advisable for the convention to take hold of this matter at present. We hope that it will not. It will be time enough whon we see how it will be rooeived by the creditors, and how the faith of tho State has been kept in regard to it and kindred matters. Bnt Mr. Moore, claiming to represent his Conservative colleagues as well as himself, enid something more, that grates unpleaf-^atly on our ears. He stated that a canons of the Conservative members?more than thirty in num? ber?had been held in Columbia, and had resolved that the re-assembling of the Tax-Payers' Convention at this time waa unnecessary and impolitic, and not likely to effeot any good purpose, and that ? petition to Congress for relief from the heavy hurdeus under which the tax-payers of the State were laboring, would verj likely meot with no response. We added: ? | "?'As the convention would certainly ??' meet, he thought it should memorialize ' the Legislature, before it appeals to Congress, for redress; that he felt more i hope at the present time of a returning ? sense of justioe on the part of the Le . gislature of the State, than ever before, 1 feeling confident that au appeal to it, if 1 ? devoid of partisanship, the evils of i strich complaint is made and felt, would ( vzeeeiveau earnest and siuaore consider? ation, and doubted not that redress would be obtained." The views of these gentlemen are en? titled to respect. They come from the few Counties where conservatism still baa a hold. The other portions of the State, whiah have no representatives of their own choice in the General Assem? bly, whiob pay taxes, but have no voice in levying them, or in determining what their, amount shall be, which, feel the unmitigated evils of the present state of things, without having any ability to arreat them, look anxiously for what aid they can get from the more favored Counties. The representatives of these Counties are, in a moral sense, at least, their representatives, too. The con elusions to which they seem to have some may be snch as meet the approval of their immediate constituents, but hardly do justice to the large con? stituency ui Ine Stale, who u.o iu <? different condition. The conviction has sunk deep into the public mind that the time; has oome when every effort that promises anooesa most be made to bring about a ohanga for the better. Buin is upon as, and disgrace and dishonor not far off. Are we to be told that there is no remedy at all for intolerable out? rage? Cannot the people meet calmly ' to oonsider their grievances and devise suoh methods of relief as may seem practicable? For our part, we see a hundred things that ought to be done, and we see immense danger to the pub? lic spirit in a hopeless acquiescence in wrong and in spiritless indifference to right. We are not wedded to any por? tionier form of organization or effort. We desire that the attention of the whole eonntry shall be directed in an authoritative way by our own people to our exaot oondition. How do we ex? pect to reoeive auy benefit from the general public opinion, or the comfort of any sympathy from other communi? ties, unless we have the intelligence sod spirit to speak for ourselves, and to en? lighten them iu the very peculiar and anomalous oiroumstauces which press us down into the dust? We fully coincide in tbo advioe of Mr. Moore, to move directly upon the General Assembly with our mamorials, petitions and remonstrances. We have urged this a hundred times, and we be? lieve that we have lost many good op? portunities of aohieving some good re? sults, by standing oil and letting things go on from bad to wore. It will be wise to try this course, even if it should be barren of immediate fruits, just us it will be wise to hold a convention, evon if no good results. from it imme? diately. The call of a convention, the attitude of the peoplo, the development of facts daily tuking plaoe, the damag? ing exposures whioh let in light upon the conduct of officials, have already produced a perceptible effect upon the party in power in the State. They be? gin at last to appreciate the enormity of the wrongs they have done. They are reflected so powerfully back upon them in the mirror of tho pnblio indignation, that they canuot help bat eoo them. I And oriminsls a*1 most of those who lead them ijre, and?oo their trial before the bar of tho public jastioe and the pnblio opinion, Wo aro frilling to give them?-the-benefit of the plea which Mr. Moore- presents, that they feel a return? ing aeoee of justice to an outraged and deeply-wronged people, as they con? template the wruok, _ devastation and ruin they have wrought. By all moans, let us remonstrate with them. Bj all means, let ua demand reforms of abuses from them. But we need not, therefore, be precluded* from all othor resorts. Lot us try all things, and bold fast that which is good. A Bon?l?"#i?eH. The General Assembly, yesterday, in both branches, was startled from its propriety by the receipt of a billet-doux from Treasurer Oardozo. This precious epistle appears in another plaoo, and when our readers peruse it, they will not wonder at the consternation whioh it produced. According to records in the Treasurer's office, there remained ia January, 1873, a balauoe of outstand? ing bills payable of $192,724.96. In ?he same month, a committee, author? ised by oouourrent resolution to regis? ter outstanding legislative pay ocrtifi oates and bills payable, reported that they registered $260,506.85 of bills pay? able?being 968,231 more than was re? corded in the Treasurer's office. On the 5th inat., a portion of this excess, in the shape of a bill payable for $25, 300, was preseuted for payment at the Treasury by the President of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company. It was neither lettered, nor numbered, and mere is no receipt whioh shows that legislative certificates were given in ex? change for it.* The Treasurer asserts that he cannot find any evidence on his records to show that the State ever re seived any consideration for it. He. ihoreforo, very properly raises tho ques? tion, wnether it is a valid claim, and re? fers the point to be further determined and aeted upon by the General Assem? bly. This body having authorized the payment of the aluims of the South Ca? rolina Bank and Trust Company, it is-a pertinent inquiry, whether this irregu? lar bill payable forms a part of them. In any oase, the Treasurer caunot, as a correct business man, or faithful public officer, recognize it?boiug entirely destitute of the marks which establish validity. The othor fact mentioned by tho Treasurer in his communication is equally astounding. The moneys of the State attaohed and payment of creditors stopped! Verily, this is humiliating. Is there, or is there not, a good deal that is rotten in this State of ours? Have we arrived at pandemooium? No wondar tb?t Senator Nanh, of Richlaod, said that things looked squally. He thought that in the terrible derange? ment of affairs, the Sonate had better remain in perpetual session and watch over the government, lest its wheels be blocked. A doubtful remedy for tho evils of the times. They cannot be re? medied by those who have caused them. But we ahall see what we shall see. The Senate appointed on the special com? mittee to investigate these troubles and report on Monday, Messrs. Nash, Dunn and Gaillard, and the House, Messrs. Hurley, N. B. Myers, Spears, Carter and Holmes. the static legislatur*:. Saturday, February 7, 1871. SENATE. The Senato assembled at 12 M. A message was received from tho Houhc that the enacting clause of a So nate bill to make appropriation for the payment of the salary aud milcago of the members of the General Assembly, and other expenses incidental thereto, had been Btrioken out. Bill to incorporate Glenn Springs Company, of Spartaoburg Couuty, was reported upon favorably. Mr. Swails introduced bills to amend Chapter CXI, Title II, Part III, of tho General Statutes; to authorize and re qaijo certain Jury Commissioners to prepare lists for tho year 1874, and for othor purposes. Mr. Hayne?Bill to make appropria? tion to pay the claims held by J. Wood? ruff and A. O. Jones against the Stute. Bills to incorporate the Second Bap? tist Church, of the city of Columbiu; to renew and amend tho obnrtcr of tho town of Due West, Abbuvillu County, were ordered to a third reading. The further consideration of tho re? port of the Committee on Retrench? ments, on resolution relative to uttacliues of the Senate, was indefinitely post? poned. Bill to establish certain State scholar? ships in the University of South Caro? lina, war considered, amended and made tho special order for Monday next, at 1 o'clock. Tho President laid before tho Senato tho following communication: Office Statb Treasurer, Columbia, S. C, February 7, 1874. To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives?Gentlemen: I have the honor to make tho fbltowing com? munication to your honorable body, omoerning the '?Lille payable,'! or "Treasurer's notes:" '. ' On the 4th and 12th of March, 1872, your honoiabt? bodleOntborised my j predecessor, the Hoq. Niles G. Parkei', ox State Treasprer, td borrow money to pay the legislative oer tiaottes, and to give bis obligation, whioh would be binding on the State.. As no money WBB borrowed, so* far as the records show, I presame he was unable to do so. He issued, however, "bills payable," in lieu of the "legislative certificates," taking from the party who made the ex? change a receipt therofor. Tho transac? tion is, therefore, one of official record. The receipts or records of the issue of bills payable state tho no. caber, or letter and amount of eaoh, and also what legislative certificates were received in exchange for it. The official records show that $109, 871.07 of bills payable were issued, ami tbnt $170 982.27 wore paid np to Octo? ber 31, 1872, and that $238,838.80 were, therefore, outstanding. (See report of State Treasurer for tlsoal year ending October 31, 1872, page 21.) I pa:d in January, 1873, $46,613.85 of bills'paya blo, in aooordanae with joint resolution of January 29, 1873, leaving a balance outstanding of $192,274 95. (Sou Trea? surer's report for fiscal year endiug Oc? tober 31, 1873, page 29.) Tti commit? tee authorized by your honorable bodies, by concurrent resolution of January 21, 1873, to register the outstanding legisla? tive certificates and bills payable, report that they registered $260,506.85 of bills payable. (See reports and resolutions of General Assembly, 1872 and 1873, page 646.) My attention was called to the faot, that the committee reported $68,231 more as outstanding than was recorded in my office. On noticing this difference, I determined that whenever I should be authorized to pay tho bills payable, I should be governed by the records of my office in paying such as were issued in lieu of legislative certifi? cates. There was presented to me on the 5th instant by the President of thu South Oarolina Bank and Trust Com? pany one bill payable for $25,000, which is not on record in my office, beiug ueither lettered nor numbered, und for whioh there is no receipt showing that legislative certificates were given in ex? change for it; .nor is there uny evidence whatever ca my records to show that tho Stat? ever received any considera? tion from its issue, either in tho delivery of legislative certificates or in the re? ception of money. Yonr honorable bodies have author? ized the payment of the claims of the South Carolina Bank and Trnst Com? pany. In the per forma ace of that duty I have discovered this anomalous condi? tion of theaocountof bills payable, uod I deem it my duty to communicate tho fact to yonr honorable bodies, that you may take what aotion, if any, that you may deem proper under the circum? stances. I deem it a duty that I owe to the State, as well as to myself, that in? asmuch as the Treasurer made the issue of bills payable in exchange for legislative certificates a matter of re? cord, carefully taking a receipt from eaoh party to whom he issued a bill pay? able, numbering or lettering it, aud stating iu the receipt that tho party de? livered legislative certificates in ex? change, that I should call thu attention of your honorable bodies to tho fact that a bill payable has been presented for payment which has not passed through any one of these forms. If I pay ihe?o claims, entirely disre? garding the records of my offioo, it would be establishing a precedent of the most serious and important nature. There would be no guide to direct me in sifting out legal from illegal claims of this or any other kind, aud there could and would not then be any limit to these or any other claims of whioh I have reoordB in my office. My records state that thero are $102,274 of this el lss of claims outstanding; but if lam not to be governed by these rcourdn, then $1,000,000 of them may bo pre? sented for payment, and would be paid, if you made an appropriation for them, and ordered them to bo paid, without inquiring from the records of their legality. In oonneotion with this snbject, I deem it my duty, also, to inform your honorable bodies that tho President of the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company has attached thu moneys of tho State, deposited in his bank, to tho amount of $68,000, without any process of law, and has refused to pay my official cheoks, and thus stopped en? tirely tho payment of the creditors of the State. I have the honor to be, very rospeotfully, your obedient servant, P. Ii. CARDOZO. Treasurer State of South Carotins. The communication was referred to a spcoial committee, and made the special order for Monday next, at 1 30 P. M. Messrs. Nash, Dunn and Caillard were appoiuted said committee, with instruc? tions to report on Monday next. HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. Tho House met at 11 A. M. Mr. P.

Messrs. Hurley, N. B. Myers, 8f ears, Carter and Helmes wore appointed the committee Continued Success or Dr. j. A. Jones?His Patients Number Hun? dreds?He Cannot Get Away.?One of the editors of this paper, who ac? companied his friend on a professional onll upon tbo doctor, several days aiueu, found his rooms thronged with patieuts, and was forced to wait two hours before admittance could be had. These afflict? ed visitors wend their way hither from a distance of hundreds of miles, in tbis and surrounding Status. They include numbers of 'tho moat respectable and wealthy of our people. Among them may be found pbysioiuus, lawyers, mer? chants, planters, mechanics, ministers, and persons from every grade and sta? tion io society. Thus far all are unani j mous iu ascribing to the doctor great professional skill, aud express the ! highest satisfaction with the result of his mode of treatment. Somo eure?, [ indeed, have been most remarkable, and ! are attested by tbo evidence of tbo parties themselves. On Friday, Dr. Jones performed fios difficult and delicate surgical operations, besides prescribing for a lurge number of patients. Two of these upou whom he hud operated nailed at this office and gave in their experience. Onoof them, Mr. W. C. Wilder, who resides near Kuoxville, in Crawford County, stated that ho has been almost totally bliud for I the past five years, owing to a film whioh had spread over bis eyes, accom? panied by great weakness, heat and con? stant weeping. He bad oonsulted many physicians and tried their remedies without avail, and when iuduced to visit Dr. Jones, throe weeks sinoo, considered his oase hopeless. The dootor removod the film by a skillful operation, and treated him internally and externally, also with such effeot that now his visiou is restored, and he had every reason to believe the oure permanent. Tbo other, Mr. H. L. Porter, of Griffin, a young man about twenty-three years of .age, received accidentally during the war a bayonet prick near the corner of ono eye, whioh damaged that organ seriously, aud left it crossed over, almost under the noso. In five minutes, the dootor removed the diffi? culty, in tho presence of a friecd who also accompanied him, and wbeu wo saw him, the ball was perfeotly straight, and moved about as naturally ns the other, A blood-shot appearance iu tho corner next the nose was tbo only evi? dence that a surgical operation had been performed. Dr. B. Borge, also of Goneva, Ga , who has for many years been a sufferer from the most distressing form of asthma, was induced to try tbo doctor'* wonderful inhaling apparatus aud mode of treatmeut, and in loud in his praises of the man who had afforded him snub iuexpressible relief. On Friday, Mrs. Jadge Speer, of Grillin, had surgical operations per? formed upon a son aud daughter, for deformity, with such success that she was moat profound in her expressions of gratitude, and went away determined to do all io her power to induce her afflicted friends to consult Dr. .Touch. Mr. J. N. Ktrkpatriok, of Opolika, Alabama, writes as follows: "I am proud to suy that I have never regrettod the fee paid you for prescribing for my lungs. I have been a new man ever since, and have not had to loso a d?ty from my business siuco you were here." He then adds: "I am out of medicine, aud don't know that I will over need it, but still prefer to have it iu readiness. Send tho same. I am requested to ask if thero will be any chauoo for you to visit our placo nguin soon, by several parties." Again, from Lexiugton, Ga., Mrs. S. E. Lumpkin, who is widely kuowu, in a letter, dated February ID, 1873, Bays: "I write to tell you of the progress your prescription is making whioh was given to my niece. She soems to be getting cn fiuuly, and says her head feels clearer tiud better than she ever remembered to have known it. Tbo disagreeable smell had entirely left her noso, which, of course, is a great comfort. I follow your directions perfectly, aud all our hearts are full of hope. Her father hcodja moro than delighted with your treatment." And so wo might go on multiplying onto after case, in addition to tbosu already previously published, all estab? lishing, beyond contradiction, Dr. Jone?' skill, and the astonishing success which has attended his practica bore and clsewboro. But enough has been said and written. The above editorial we take from the Afacon ''Telegraph and Messenger."
