i PLUMB I A, S. C. Tubs lay Morning, April 7,1874. Probe tbe S-r 11. We have been very well content with the progress of the committee of the Tax-Payers' Convention in Washington. We knew that they would have to en? counter prepossessions against the cause they represent, and that the barriers of prejudice and misconception would rise before them at every torn. All things considered, they, have beed favorably received, aud the'first steps havs been BUooessfuIlyTaid of an intelligent con? sideration of the anomalous state of things in South Carolina. Direot and immediate action, in the way of interpo? sition in onr affairs, we have never anticipated would be taken. It will be better for us, it will at length give a more satisfactory solution of our diffi? culties, if time be allowed in whioh our oase shall beoome adequately appreciated by the people of the country at large, and u matured, wise and lasting oonoluaion be reached by Congress. It is no holiday work. It cannot be finished iu a morn? ing. There are facts to bo explored, there are frauds to be exposed, there are investigations to be conducted. The organized maohinery of a crafty and un? scrupulous Government will be brought to bear to buttle overy honest effort to right the wrong, and will con .(tend with all the resources of ill-gotten .^??bat dearly-loved power to perpetuate it 'in the unworthy hands where it is now . lodged. Tho more full and complete the inquiry, the more scarchingly the probe is applied, the more likely is it that we shall bring to light, so thuL strangers and even persons prepos? sessed against us shall admit them, the enormities and wickedness whioh, under ? the name of republican government, ' have been perpetrated and built up into ? a system here. It is a matter of con? gratulation, theiefore, that our repre? sentatives in Washington have addressed themselves to accomplish the point of having an investigating committee ap? pointed by Congress.' Iu this way, it may beoome officially and thoroughly instructed iu the condition of affairs here. And when that is done, there will none be found so brazen as to up? hold the mockery of government we have. It must fall into universal con? tempt; for it will be found,' like "Vino, a monster of such hideous mien, . That to be hated, it needs but to he Seen." -??? ? > ? Then and Now. It is related by the late Judge O'Neale, that when the Legislature of South Carolina elected General David R. Wil? liams Governor of Sonth Carolina, a courier was seut on horseback, with de? spatches to his hOmu iu Chesterfield or Darlington, to inform him of his elec? tion, and to require his immediate pre? sence iu Colombia. The messenger reached the neighborhood of the Go? vernor-elect late in the afternoon, and falling in with a man driving a wagon, asked him the way to General Williams' resideuoe, stating that he was charged with important papers, to bo delivored to him at the earliest possiole moment. We can imagine the surprise of the cou? rier, upon learning that the driver of the wagon was the mau whom ho was seeking. lie delivered the documents, and after examination that night, aud hasty preparations for bis journey to Columbia, the General left next morn? ing ou horseback, and traveled rapidly to the capital. Ho went directly to tho State House, hitched his horse at the common rack, and, arrayed in a suit of homespun, presented himself to tho 'Legislature for iuauguratiou as Go? vernor. In those days, the State was regarded as an honored mother, worthy of earnest devotion aud uucalculuting service. Fast horses, stoleu diamonds and shoddy splendor were not then ne? cessary adjuncts to the public man. Fraud was not then bis obiuf accom? plishment. Now South Carolina has fallen among thieves. Now she is plucked aud ruiued. Now her resources are dried up, her credit gone, her good name tarnished, hor people unhappy, outraged and maltreated ou all bauds. Simplicity, honesty, economy and gene? ral contentment existed among tho peo? ple in the timo of Williams, who was called under tho circumstances we have mentioued to the helm of State What a contrast, is here presented to the reck? lessness, tho extravagance, the disho? nestly acquired wealth uud the insolent uirs of those whom fate has appointed over*the people now, riding in sploudid vehiclea and clothed in purple aud fine liuenl -?-??-> *?-?

I hope the increased number who will at? tend the convention will justify the is suiug of these round trip tickets, espe? cially us the arrangement will be gene? rally made known by the press iu Geor? gia, Alabama and South Carolina, aud also by the pastors of Baptist churches. The railroads in Texas have generously tendered free passes over the outire State to delegates aud visitors, and if you can secure tho excursion tiokots, doubtless a great many will ba induced to go who otherwise would not attend. Tr-ly yours, W. O. T?GGLE Atlanta, Ga , March 31, 1871 TF. 0. Tuggle, Secretary, LaOmnrje, Ga.?Dear Sir: I am this duy iu re? ceipt of your favor of the 30th, asking that wo pass delegates aud others desir? ing to be present at the Convention ol tbe Baptist Church, to be held at Jeffer? son, Texas, on the 7th of May, at one faro, and iu reply, I am directed by tho Superintendent to say, tbat ou April 25, we will put on sale ut our ticket office, Union Passenger Depot, Atlanta, rouud trip tickets to Texarkuua, good to re? turn, if presented before June 10, 1871, at the very low price of 833.85. These tickets will be sold to all persons desir? ing to be present at tbe Convention. It is proper that I call your attention to tbe important fuct, that the completion of the Texas and Pacific Railroad to Texarkana gives this lino the shortest aud only all-rail route to Jefferson by over 650 miles, as compared with any other rail line. As you Htate iu your letter that the Texas roads have ugroed to pass all persons to thu convention free, it will ouly be necessary for dele? gates and others desiring to go, to buy tbe tickets to Texarkuua aud return. Any information desired as to schedule, &e., will be furnished upou application. If the number justifies it, we cau fur? nish a through coach from Atlanta to Memphis or Little Rock, without change. Very respectfully, B. W. WRFNN, General Passenger & Ticket Agent. What Tnu Republican Party has Come to?Testimony of toe Tribune - I'ho New York Tribune, which has here? tofore followed tho Republican party iu all its fortunes, except its refusal to sup? port Gen. Grant in tbe last election, : thus speaks of its degeneracy aud its impotence for good: "The party iu power has uo principle? that it has uot betrayed; uo policy upou winch its leaders arc agreed; no loaders whose authority is recognized beyond u circle of persuuul adherents; uo cohe? sion except for. tho reteutiou of office and power; uo litle whatever to public confidence, except that it flies the Hag of a party which ouce did good uud honest work, aud deserved to bo trusted. It is as if u fleet that had been equipped iu the interest of philanthropy to sweep tbe s'ave trude from the seas, after ac? complishing its work, bad turned to plundering the iuuooeut and preying upon thu commerce of tbe world. It is the Captaiu Kidd of modern politics." A Curious Calculation.?The uve rage value of euch immigrant arriving iu ibis couutry bus bueu frequently estt- I mated by writers ou political economy, j but uo two of them agree on this ques- ' tiou. This value varies from 8730, ac? cording to tho lowest estimate, to about t 81,500 iu the highest; but iu either case it is evident that iu a more re- j striated material sense, it is cheaper to import our population than it is lo pro? duce it ourselves. Assuming each child of fifteen to have cost 81,000, and that tho money thus expended would have beou otherwise saved, we find that the mau who has raised a family of live children and remained poor might have; accumulated a sum sufficient for the wants ol old age had bo not beuu sub jucted to this expense Of the 368 Souetors, Representatives aud Delegates in Congress, nearly a Ufth aro natives of Now England. Just one iu 36 fails lo remember when and where be was born, and is couseqtteutly uncer? tain as to his age. One member has it j from good authority that ho was boru ! in Virginia, but the residents in the vicinity of his birth place can give him j uo informatiou us regards his progoui j tors. Uo is one of tho lew specimens of humanity who buH not ut some period of his lifo been reminded that bo strong? ly resembled bis father or mother. Twelve States are represented iu tho Senate by Senators born out of the State, ten States by only ouo Senator boru within tho Siute, and twelve by Se natois euch of whom was born iu the State. Tue South Carolina College.?-A correspondent of tho Bostou Post, writ? ing from Columbia, says: "There is uo doubt that it is tho intention of tho Radical rule to subsidize tho South Ca? rolina Collego entirely into a bchool for the education of tho blacks, and tho late establishment of a tohool in tho college for a preparatory class for collego, which now numbers over twenty, fully con? firms theiutout to destroy tho college; and, iu my opinion, just us fust us men can bo obtained, every white professor will be removed from the University; aud, indeed, I wus told by a colored member of the House, he hoped every white person would bo expelled from the college." Tbe Lynobburg Virginian onys that never binco tbe war has the tide of Nortbern immigration set so strongly toward Virginia as at present. Just Decision ?Tarlge Green bat rendered a decision which ia of great importance to the Conservative press, and at the same time very damaging to Republican j! papers, known as "official oicTed at Kingstree, in Williamabnrg County. The' circumstances which gave rise to the case are as follows: Oapt. J. E. Scott, the agent of his daughter, Mrs. Wolfe, applied to the Judge of Probate of Williamaburg County, who is the "basiuess managor" and a stock? holder in what is called the -official paper" of the County, for a fiusl dis? charge for the suid administratrix. The Judge of Probate told him the usual no? tice- would have to be published iu the "official paper," to which proposition Oapt. Scott declined to accede, for the reason that he chose to consult his own judgmeut as to the paper in which ho 'would publish the notice and pay for it. He consulted aud employed S. W. Mau? rice, Esq , who advised him iu the mat? ter, and who aldo argued the case before Judge Green, who bus sustained his view of the law. It will bu seen that Judge Green, in his decision, makes u distinction between advertising to be paid for by the public uud that to be paid for by the ludividual. The peo? ple, therefore, under this decision, are nt liberty to choose their own paper in which to advertise all matters thut uro to be paid for with private funds. The following is Judge Greeu'd decision: Mrs. E P. Wolfo, after giving tho no tice required by law, iu tho Kingstree Star, made bur application to the Judge of Probate for her dual discharge as ad? ministratrix of the estate of C. W. Wolfe. Her accounts were found to be correct, but her disoharge wus refused, upon tho ground thut tho notice had uot been given in the official pupor of the County, and therefore was void. Mrs. Wolfe appealed to tho Circuit Court from thut decision, and claimed her disoharge. Wheu the matter came before me, upon tho very brief reflec? tion I could then give it, my judgment was thut the appeal could not be sus? tained. This conclusion was arrived at mainly upon the words of the second section of the Act of 1870, page ?99 of General Statutes, to wit: "Aud no legal notice, advertisement or piiblicitiou re? quired by law to bo made public, shall have any valid force or elF-jet unless published iu tho newspaper or newspa? pers designated under this chapter." These words seemed to bo general enough to cover this case. I have bad au opportunity of reading carefully the whole Act, auti I do not now think that it applies to this case. By the first sec? tion, the Attorney-General, the Comp* troller-Gcocrn! and Secretary of S:uic hav*i authority, conjointly, to designate one or more uewspupapers iu this State in which all legal uolices for the State should be published, and ulso to desig? nate a proper number of newspapers for the several Couuties of this State, "in which all legal notices, advertise? ments or publications for the County or Couuties for which respectively each paper t>bufl bu designated, of any und every character required by law to be made puolic, shall be published." This would appear to include all such notices as have to be given by tho County us u corporation or iu relatiou to business Connected with the corporation. This view is strengthened wheu we consider tho means adopted iu the section fer? tile enforcement of the Act. First, the notices ?hall be utill and void. Second, such notices shall not be paid for from tho fuuds of tho Comity. This provi? sion certainly cannot apply iu cases where the advertisement is paid for by the party who gives tho notice. The proviso of the Act, I think, will aO'ord .strong evidence that it was not the in leutiou of the law-making power that the Act Miouid extend to matters uot couuectod with the County as a corpora? tion. For tho above reasous, tho ap? peal in this caso is sustained. Death from Uyduopiiouia ?Charles W. Etumous, aged teu years, died at his home, No. 51 Eighth avenue, yesterday, from hydrophobia. He was bitten by u dog, which showed no symptoms of madness, about a month ago, and left no evil eiTiiCts from the biti# until last Saturday, when the symptoms became so iilurmiug that Dr. O Noil, of No. 4GU Hudson street, was called iu.

Arrest of a Deserter.?Yesterday morniug, Policeman Blaokwelder ob? served a strange man. whom ho charged with being u deserter, and tho man finally acknowledged that ho was.

A Sensitive Government.?Tho ac? count wo print this morning of tbe in terview between tbe President and tbe representatives of tbe Sooth Carolina tax-payers may afford some further in? formation, to any who are iu waut of it, of tbe striotly private and personal cha? racter our Government has assumed. This body of gentlemou, representing the intelligence aud decency of the State, all of them peoplo wbo have ho? nestly acoepted the results of the war, {and who are striving with a patience uud [energy worthy of all praise to save something of their State's existence from tbe thievish hands which uro ra? pidly destroying it, sought an inteiview with the President ou Friday last, '.o Uy before him tho deplorable stutc of affairs among them, und to ask if auy aid could bo given by tho General Go? vernment. They were troated by him with gross rudeness and discourtesy, for a reason so trivial that it is almost incre? dible. During tho recent session of thu Tux-Payers' Convention iu South C.iro lina, an obscure und re* ,ie-brained dele? gate got tho iljor, and tnado a spetch personally disrespectful to tho Presi? dent. There is no j rctuuos that bo eiu-1 bodied tbe views ni tbe convention, or that bis harangue met with their ap? proval. 13ut this speech, dexterously thrust into the President's bauds by ?-ne of tho ring politicians, just before the delegation called upon him, was euough to miiku him forget his own dutj- aud dignity, uud insult uu important body of citiz-jns, wbo were no more respousi ble fur it tbau tho Presideut himself.
