COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesday Morning. April 15,1874. Tarn of the Tide. President Grant alleges a constitu? tional ?diffioalty in interfering in the affairs of a sovereign State for tho re? lief of its tax-paying oitizens from ex? tortion and oppression; but in thocon? duct of the Government detectives and agents, he permits them to be outraged in their rights of persons and property. The report of the Grand Jury of York, in the presentment published yesterday, is aa oouipUtc* ? rejoinder zz could be framed to the President's ans wer of tho complaint of the tax-payers. Wo are gratified that the Grand Jury has taken the bull by the horns. Ho needs hand? ling badly. Oar people hnve been so patient and submissive sinco tho dm gounado for Ku Klux victims, that the creatures who roam through the country in the odiouB service of pimps, spies and bullies have come to think that petty tyranny is an aooomplishmeut and insolenoo a virtue. They seize property, appropriate effects, trespass ou pre? mises, inconiuiodo business, iu flume animosities und insult feolingK. It makes the blood boil to read of the outrages they commit aud of the deceptions they practice. It is timo they were taught better manner?, aud to know their places, aud to keep strictly withiu thu hounds assigned them. It is timo that they should be taught to recognize thu rights of tho people. Tho peoplo owe thanks to the Grand Jury of Yo?k uud to Judge Mnckoy for the decided steps they havo taken. Wo hopa tho .same thing will bo dono iu other Counties where like abuses exist. The peoplo should not hesitate to take cure of them? selves. Let them nvuil themselves of the turn of tho tide. They tbonld re? sist and expose every violatiou of their rights, using all the menus which the law, libernlly interpreted, puts iu their hands. Basinet* Men to the Front. The memorial of the Columbia Lourd of Trade, endorsed by ninety of the most prominent merchants, bankers and business men of the city, and sent on, with the signatures, to Hon. Lyman Tremaine, Chairman of the Sub-Com? mittee on the Judioiary in Washington, is a document which it does one's heart good (o read. These gentlemen, as busi? ness moD, are capable of judging whether the evils complained of here are "ima? ginary" or not, whether tho tuxes nro "excessive" or not. Whoever doubted before about these points, need doubt no longer. Tho beauty of this paper is that it is eminently practical aud means "business." Tho memoriulials go straight at their object, aud their object is honest republican goverumout. They ask for such Congressional legislation us will provide for the summary punish? ment of all conspirators eugaged iu do frauding the public, whether niorubors of the Legislature or orhors. Congress most consider such u petition as this. There is no so-called constitutional im? pediment in the w?y of the investiga? tion asked for. Tho couutry will regard this proof cumulative with proper re? spect aud favor. Tho miserable mis? creants who have ;;o wronged tho Slate uud people of South Carolina, may well tremble at the significance of such n movement- They may rest uvsurod that they will be brought to account iu good time. ?State of South Cakomna, Executive Dkpabtm ext.

Tin; Mayor theu made the following remarks tu the retiring Cuuucil, when the new Couuuil elect entered the ball und took their places: Uextlemrs: Cur term of office having expired, wo ore about t<> vacate these scats for tho occupuiicy of oar succes? sors, and in separating, 1 canuot forego the opportunity of expressing my gmti Qcutiou nt lhc uniform observuuco of the-rules of poUtouc3H and good muu* nera which has rendered our public in? tercourse nl! the while entirely pleasant and ngreoublo. 1 am nhsu moat highly gn.ti?etl in being ublo to decl-tru that each an 1 every member of the retiring Council, throughout his whole lorm, bus constantly exhibited n dh'p.uitiou to fulliM with nil his abilitie s the duties of an AliloL'muii.

Mill your ad? ministration of lhc affair.) <.>1 tho city has not boon ;i fail uro. It ii true, its I finances arc nut in u prosperous eoncti lliots, but lhc Kiitnu may be .-aid of tho whole eounlry. in tins respect, lhc perplexity is uuivelalil, t!.<: c.vis-j of ? which caunot ha traced by the most ex perieucod liuuueicru. While, therefore, I lhc couditiou of the city nuances is n matter of regret, iL i^; nol n grouud of eeusnrc. The various and tiucessar] city improvements have drawn heavily I upon our resources. Our expenditures, iu every department of the city govern ; mcnt have been unavoidably increased j on nccouut of tho increnso of our popn ; laliou und territory. At tho same time, ! ii huge portion of our legitimate revenue j is in arrear, by ronsou of the inability of hoidq of our tax-payers, and lhc iudispo , t-iliou of others, to puy up their taxes promptly. I had hoped to bo able to lay before you an exactitemout of our iiuunoea, that you might, have teen our preeiso condition, but ci t en tust uuces hnvo delayed tho pre?piirutioh of Mio rc ' porl, which will, however, Uc submit I ted lo our .successors-, for examination and publication, at nu early day. I t i> believed that, that exhibit will give Igonenil satisfaction, aud remove every grouud of complaint agaiust us regard? ing tho mutiiigomeut of our finances. And this belief is strengthened by tho fact, pleasant lo ho known, that the bit loruess of tho opponents of Republican : rule bus very gre atly snbsielod; that prijuelico against us bus sensibly been diminished, aud that u spirit of greater fairness and impartiality everywhere i provails. At all events, I may sufuly jsnythatiio ouo has beon uncharitable or unjust enough to charge as with a want of honesty or integrity in our pub? lic relations, or of the purpose at all times to act with reference to the pro? motion of the interest and honor of tho entire community. With my best wishes for your future individual wel? fare and happiness, and thanking you for tho kind support yon have ever given me in my position of Mayor, I bid yon a reluctant and respeolfui farewell.

Of this an experience of I four years has convinced me. And tho necessity of exercising those distin? guished virtues is becoming mure ap? parent with the lapse of time and the growth of our city. At this momout the financial exigencies of the city go? vernment demand of each uud ull of us the closest attention aud the practice of tho strictest economy, iu order to meel those exigencies uud thereby preserve thecreditof the municipal administra? tion.

After ! some routine business and the report of the Committee on Credentials, Dr. 13a ; rnali proceeded to deliver tho auuual i address, on "Methods of fostering the interests of medical scienco and its vo? taries," in which tho advantages of me? dical societies aud the necessity of more certuiu remuneration to physicians for medical services were strongly presented.
