The daily phoenix. (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, July 22, 1874, Image 2
abusoe of the' Laud Commission, I
applied to the eminent law firm of
Pope & Haskell, in Columbia, for ad
wtoe as to my powers iu the premises;
bat, after duly considering the matter,
they advised me that no relief oould
be had, exoept through the action of
the Legislature.
Bluoh has been said about the in?
crease of the State debt. In regard to
that matter, I have simply to say, that
there was an increased? about 2b\000,
?00 during the time I was in offiae.
The 'remainder of the new bonda is?
sued daring that time merely changed
the form of so much of -roe debt, and
did not Increase the debt itself. The
public has been led to believe chat
what has been merely a change in the
form'of the debt-bos been au inorease
of it; bat such is not the oase. You
might as well say, that a neighbor, by
giving his uote to pay a book account,
increases his indebtedness, as to say
that the State, by issuing new bonds
in payment of oarreuoy ia the Bhape
of bills receivable, of interest past
doe, of bills of a State corporation
4UKl claims against itself, increases its
debt. And cnia six miiiions of in*
crease would never have ooonrred, hod
at not been for the reckless and profli?
gate expenditure of the publio moneys
by the Legislature daring the last two
"years I was ia office, for tboir owu ex
. peases. I attempted to Stop the pay
>?aent of the enormous sums of mouey
?drawn from the treasury by the Legis
datate, -by refusing to approve their
voheokr; bat ia this I was met with the
presentment of artioles of impeaoh
a??t, end was informed that my inter?
neren oe would be followed by my sub
pennon from offloe. I found that the
moderation and oare whioh oharaoter
rised the aotion of the first Legislature
i had entirely passed away, and that the
rntiog object of the new members
.generally was to filch from tho trea
?Airy every dollar that was collected
from, tax?a. Daring that session, as I
hove already mentioned, tbey took
About $415,000 out of the ?825,000
?collected for taxes, and passed en ad?
ditional apDropriation for themselves
cf $205.000, which. I vetoed on the
laset day of the session; and the at?
tempted fraud was so apparent, that
?theydid not' dare to pass it over my
'veto; & -could see, however, iu* the
: faofO'ttf many of tho leading members,
"*Sl\<h 3ark frown of angry disuppoiut
merit, and the determination to have
revenge for my thus interfering with
their scheme to enrioh themselves at
?the- expense of the State. When the
?next session?that of 1871?convened,
it was ?pparent to the most casual ob?
server thai they had determined to
paniBh the man who had dared to in?
terpose' his constitutional prerogative
to prevent them from getting for
themselves the publio moneys which
bad been appropriated to other pur?
purne?. For the oarreot fiscal year,
(here1 had beea levied a tax sufficient
'to raise $1.181,000. Their first at?
tempt was to take the money oat of
the hands of the Treasurer, aud place
it in possession of committees of their
own bodies 'appointed for that pur?
pose. Finding that this eoheme oould
not be accomplished, on account of
"constitutional objections, tbey deter?
mined to get rid of the officers who
stood' between them and the publio
funds by impeaohment. Ia the oourse
of their proceedings, however, they
ifeoud' that it was necessary only to get
'rid of the law, whioh provided that uo
?money should be paid out of the trea?
sury, exoept by approval of the Go?
vernor. . Therefore, they virtually re?
pealed this law, by directing the Trea?
surer to pay the mouey over his ooun
>ter on the presentation of cheeks
-signed by the President of the Senate
?and Speaker of the House of Repre?
sentatives. During this session, as I
have already mentioned, they drew out
of the treasury $927,000 of the money
?collected from taxes, every dollar of
whioh had been previously expended
by appropriation for other purposes.
Think of that, fellow-oitizensl The
Legislature took $927,000 iu money to
pay their expenses for a siuglesession.
Aud not satisfied with this, they issued
additional pay certificates to tho
amount of $500,000, making an aggre?
gate of over 91,400,0001 I ask you, if
it is possible for any man, or auy set
of men, to fairly administer the go?
vernment of the State, when its law
making branob absorbs all the revenue
of the State, and involves the State iu
au immense floating debt besides? To
-accomplish their purposes, they refused
to permit the payment, of the mouey
fchut had been levied aod collected for
?the paymeut of the interest on tho
publio debt, thereby ut once destroying
all confidence in our integrity us a
State Goveromout, nud in our purpose
to de,al justly aud fairly with those who
had placed sufficient confidence in us
to invest in our State securities. The
result was. that our bonds whioh had
been pledged as security for our loans
ia New York were forced upon the
market aud sacrificed at prices from
fifteen to thirty cents on the dollar,
?and the men who had boon induced
to lend us their money, found them
selves in possession of our new bonds
at a lower price than our old bonds
were worth at the time I commenced
to baild up a credit und reputation for
"the new State Government of South
-Carolina.
"Some Republicans find fault with
me for so severely condemning men
who represent the Republican party;
bat I have just cause tor using the sever
?est words of condemnation against those
men themselves, and of making the
-most determined protest against each
a class of men ever again holding office
in this State. Aod I say, deliberately,
that uulcse yon hereafter eleot a better
class of men to offloe, the sooner the
Republican party ceases to exist, tho
better it will be both for the people
aod the State. Aud let me assure you,
-that if you return to the Legislaturo
ih men lb atyon have bad tbore dur?
ing the last session, tbu tax-payers will
refuse to pay the taxes that may be
levied apoii^ben?? atiti there will be no.
power tu compel thejb to pay; for "ilia
voide of the pdoplu is tf^o' voioe of'
Got," and the people will make them?
selves felt apd beard.
.' I have received numerous letters and
hundreds of personal addresses re
questing mo to be a candidate for Go?
vernor again; but I can see nothing
that would induce mo to desire to pass
again through tho ordeal of 1871 and
1872. While I would sacrifice more,
perhaps, than any oiber man in the
State to correct the evils of the past and
to reduce taxation and, consequently,
the expenditure of publio moueys iu
the future, yet it would bo folly to
mako any sacrifice, uuless you, wbo
oac elect snob u Legislature as yon
please, obange your entire policy and
leave out the petty politicians wbo
roam over the State and pander to tbe
ignorance, prejudices and passions of
the people for tbeir own benefit; for,
if you do not, yon will only eleot men
who have neither publio honor nor
private oharactar ta prevent them
fron* descending to tbe most petty
schemes for securing money by mis?
representation and even fraud, from
private individuals as well as from the
State Treasury. If you will go to the
merchants of Columbia, you will find
where members of the Legislature
have purchased supplies of corn and
bacon, and family groceries and tbe
1'ke, and passed tbe bills for them
through the Legislature, as olaims
against the Statel You will find even
the railroud receipts for oorn and
baoou wbiob have been shipped to tbe
Hon. -, member of the Legisla?
ture of South Carolina, and wbiob
have been paid for by a legislative pay
cor ti floate!
I mnst again admonish yuu not to
t-ond back to the Legislature tbe men
wbo have represented yon tbe lust two
years; for if they are to bo regarded
nh your true representatives, you must
bo regarded as a set of rogues and
scoundrels. I adviae you, iu the
future, to elect at least oue mau of
intelligence. When you eleot colored
men to office, take tho honest and
bard-working men, who are naturally
honest, instead of those who have been
coaohmeu or upper servants, and wbo
have learned, by contact, tho vices
of the white man without his virtues.
And when you take a man of my race,
do not take the lowest and meanest
you can find, but tako a man of good
standing in the community and of
honest impulses. You may rest as?
sured, that no mau who is dishonora?
ble and dinhoneBt in his private deal?
ings with bis neighbors can by any
possibility be an honorable or honest
man in any publio position that you
may eleot him to. Eleot some intelli?
gent men to tbe Legislature and pre?
vent the neoeasity of employing a
host of clerks to do the business wbiob
should be done by the members. Last
session, they had 177 attaohees?more
than wore employed by the Congress
of the United States. My advice is to
eleot a Democrat from eaoh County,
and relieve yourself of a share of re?
sponsibility. As it has been iu tbe
past, you must bear all the blame for
bad government, as you have fully
three-fourths of tbe members of the
Legislature. The course 1 recommend
will virtually give them proportional
representation, and, with a voice in
legislation, they cannot go before the
country aud say that tbey ore taxed
without representation, and that they
have no voioo in tbe expenditure of tho
money tbey puy. Under nil tbe cir?
cumstances, I think it but fair that
you should show them a spirit of libe?
rality.
The time may come?yes, it must
oome? when your own people will be?
come disgusted at the oreatnres of your
own oreation, who possess neither per?
sonal integrity nor official honor, wbo
are not satisfied with defraudiug every
persou tboy oan cajole into trusting
them in their private affairs, but take
advantage of their official position to
jrob every person within their reach. I
Bay here, and challenge donial of what
11 say, that not a half a dozen of cither
State or Fedorul office-holders uro
I worth ten cents on tho dollar. Tbo
man who can most successfully swindle
his neighbor is regarded as tbo best
politician, aud, therefore, eutitled to
the best ofiioial position.
I l see thai some Republicans arc con?
stantly blaming the Democratic party
for tbo financial evils that have be?
fallen us. I deny that the Demo?
cratic party are responsible for thoao
evilB. With ull their opposition, they
nover could have destroyed tha credit
of tho State, bad not the Legislature
assisted them by robbing tho Treasury
of tbe moneys that belonged to legiti?
mate creditors.
This, with othur Southern State
Governments, was established by
a law of the United States. In the
organization of it, there was an en?
tirely new element necessarily brought
into political power. Even the few
white men who were oleotcd to posi?
tions under it were, for the most part,
entirely inexporienced in State-craft.
The great mass of those who sympa?
thized with and took part in its organ?
ization were without eduoation or train*
iug in any of the departments of tho
duties of life. Is it to be wondered at,
that many blunders and mistakes were
made, without intention or willingness
on the part of those controlling affairs
to aot corruptly? We have seen the
Government organized in the District
of Columbia, with its executive head
appointed by the President of the
United States, uudcr the eyo of the
Congress of tho United Stutos, and
surrounded by every influence that
should have mado it a success?we

The Growth or the Cotton Intercat In
Charlotte, N. V.?V Illnt,
The rapid growth of Charlotte since
tho war is attributed, by the Observer,
oi ihut city, to the fostering influence
of the aottou trade, whioh has ad?
vanced steadily, until Charlotte is now
the first cotton market of the State.
It is situated in the oentro of a highly
intelligeot and thrifty population, aud
of an admirable oottoo-growing region.
Through the Charlotte, Columbia aud
Augusta, the North Carolina, the
Piedmont Air Liue, the Atlantic, Ten?
nessee and Ohio, and the Carolina
Central Railroads, its connections are
complete in eveiy direction, South,
South-west, East aud North. In 1855,
the receipts of cotton were less than
3,000 bales; in 1860, tho sales reached
12,000. In 1866, upon the resumption
of business after the war, it received
about the sume amount on the mar?
ket. Siooe then, it has increased
annually, until the present year, when
it amounts to about 40,000 bales.
The success of Charlotte, it is
olaimed, is due iu part to other causes
than those wo have mentioned. A
fine position, a rich surrounding coun?
try, growing cotton aud tho cereals
both abundantly, u railroad system
whioh conueots her with the great
markets of the couutry, arc not all the
advautugus it has availed itself of. It
owes something to men as well us to
nature. The cotton mon of the place
olaim that they pay nearer np to New
York prices for cotton than can be ob?
tained at any other poiut iu the South.
They ate enabled to give sellers this
advantago, they say, because their
market is generally supplied with fac?
tory orders. Charlotte is tnrronuded
und connected with manufactories,
which are dependent on her for their
cotton supply. Hero are the names:
Tutu's Manufactory, Wood Lawn, Mo
Douald'a Manufactory, Concord, Line
berger's Manufactory, Pin Hook, E.
M. Holt's Sons' Manufactory, Graham,)
Alamance County, Powell'd Cotton
Mills, Catawba Station, W. Turner &
Sons, Turnersburg, T. H. Gaither,
Garibaldi, F. & H. Fries, Salem, S. S.
Walker, agent for Franklin Manufac?
turing Company, W. H. Hill, -
Morrison, Gaither & Co., Eagle Mills,
Rindlemau Manufacturing Company,
Uro wer Sc Bros., Mount Airy, Cedar
Falls Mills. And orders are on baud
nearly all the time for thousands of
bales of cotton for the cotton mills of
tha North.
Wo begin to thiuk our friend Gene?
ral Hill's standing epithet applied to
Charlotte as the "future London cf
the Smith" not wholly inappropriate,.
What does Columbia think of tho pio
turo? Is it content to retrograde iu
the wholesale and cotton trade aud not
pull op iu some other direotion? No
placo in the South, except, perbapp,
Augusta, has such a splondid water
power for manufacturiug as ic has.
Are our moneyed men, our men of
enterprise and forecast, afraid to grasp
this prize? Can a city be built aud
sustained hero or not, without tho
[development of this great agency?
That's tho question. Aro we to tako
hold of this power, achieve a grout
manufacturing success, lay anew and
more broadly tho foundations of a
prosperous and populous city? or are
we to oootinuo to look with idlo and
profitless wonder, as tho Indians did
before U8, upon tho magnificent falls
of thoCongarce flowing uuproductively
at oor feet?

"If Moses is nominated aud re
elected, then we are to seu arrayed
against us tho whole power of tho
Federul Government. Tho Federal
troops are to bo withdrawn, or aro to
be used against us. Tho Tax Unions
will so organize the money power us to
deprive tho State Government of tho
sinews of war. No taxes will be paid,
or tenders will bo mad' !?i Blue Ridge
sorip aud bills of tho Bunk of tho
State; the power of the Federal
Courts will be invoked to prevent sales
of property in such cases; acarohy,
dismay and terror will surge upou
many who aro now brave enough, und
about the only Radiaals left in South
Carolina to stem the torrent will bo
the freed men and tho carpet-baggers."
The above is extraoted from tho Port
Royal Commercial, a journal whoso
editor was a member of tho Tax-pay?
ers' Convention and a delogato as ono
of the committee to present the tax?
payers' memorial to Congress and the
President. We do not find it consis?
tent to advise in an editoral artiolo the
retos?ir lb' pay taxes7 (?s was done in
this same Commercial, even before tbe
of 4bo Tax-payers' Conven?
tion,) and now to present"tha^ course
Of pioOeedirjg aB the twin evil of elecf|
log Moses, that will bring, anarchy,
dismay and terror npon the - land. It
tho refusal to pay taxes was advisable
in 1874, it cannot be onwiso in 1875,
unless, meanwhile, there has been auch
manifest improvement in the charac?
ter and morale of tbe State Govern?
ment, such hopeful prospects of a te
tarn to justice aud equity, Kucb signs
of recovered prosperity, such over?
whelming evidence that we arc not
goinur to destruction and infamy every
day, as will make tbe remedy suggest?
ed, aud unless we are mistakcD,
warmly recommended by the Port [
Royal Commercial, no longer either de?
sirable or practicable.
The "Bourbons," as the Commercial
now politely calls the Democrats or
Conservatives, are quietly organizing
their uuions, having for object "the
reduction of taxation and the honest
appropriation and expenditure of the
publio funds." That is a good object.
Why a man cannot favor it who went]
against paying any tax at all, is one of
the Radical peculiarities which arc be?
yond our depth to comprehend.
BIy?trrl??.
The Port Royal Commercial, which
we quote in another place, concludes
that wheu tho day of wrath shall come,
tb? only Rtdicals who will be left, to
"stein the torrent will be ibu freed men
and tho carpet-buggers." What is it
that will so suddenly aud unexpectedly
give snob prodigious back-bone to the
carpet-bugger class? We must tbiuk
tbo writer does the scalawag injustice
iu this invidious discrimination. An?
other thing equally mysterio-;-*, is
how the re-election of Moses will bring
all tho direful consequences which are
pictured, auy more than the election,
say, of Mr. Chamberlain, Mr. Elliott,
or Mr. Scott? Moses is not tbe only
mau who is btauding on tbe emptied
Treasury of South Carolina, looking
wistfully away to ward-> some imaginary
laud of promise and?escape. Moses
traded iu pay certificates, uud has a
hand open as day and a heart inex?
pressibly tender towards penitentiary
convicts. He tried to buy a news?
paper, too. But be was not iu tho Ad?
visory Board of tho Land Commission;
he was not Attorney-General when
$700,000 was invested in doubtful
titles, unreclaimed bogs and sterile
sand-hills?as Mr. Chamberlain says,
"a bad, bad speculation;" he was not
a member of the Financial Board when
the bond frauds were perpetrated; he
was not of that sweet-soenteel party,
the Sinking Fund Commission, and
he never went to Congress and joined
the salary-grabbers. We cannot dis?
cover what gives Moses his reputed bad
pre-eminence over his compeers, unless
it be that bo is "the under dog in the
fight." The dog (metaphorice) who
is io such a predicament us that, ueed
uot expect to make or retain friends.
Wo iutoud to disappoint the Bour?
bons. We will give this Stute a nomi?
nation ncceptublo alike to the party
hero, to Geuerul Grant, and to tbu
party of tbe Union.

Tbo snmo old tune. Thu party here,

a thought of overthrowing corruption,

Tho trade returns of the port of Now
York, for tho fiscal your ending with
Junu last, havo been mude up by the
Journal of Commerce, of that city. Tho

000 tho previous yoar, and noarly
$-110,000,000 iu 1871-72. The export's
in currency values wore 8351,018,17g,
compared with $332,500,000 tbo pre?
vious year, aud 8285,500,000 iu
1871-72 Thus it will bo aeon that
whilst there was a decided falling oil'
iu tho imports, thoro was equally as
decided a gain in the exports. The
' customs duties collected during tho
last fiscal yoar at Now York wero
$110,123,272, in gold, compared with
$126,000,000 for the previous year,
and 4118,000,000 iu 1871-72. Tbo de?
cline between 1871-72 and 1872-73
was caused by roduotions in dutioB,
but the decline of tho last fiscal yoar is
owing to the shriukago iu the import
trade.

Scuenck's Sea. Weed Tokic.?In the
atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the lethargy pro?
duced by tbe heat takes away the de?
sire for wholesome food, aud frequent
perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the
effects of debilitating diseases. In
order to keep a natural healthful ac?
tivity of the system, we must resort to
artificial means. For this purpose,
Sobenck's Sea Weed Tonio is very
effectcol. A few doses will create au
appetite and give fresh vigor to tbe
enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is
invaluable. Mauy emiuent physicians
have doubted whether dyspepsia can
be permanently oured by the drugs
which are generally employed for tbat
purpose. The Seu Weed Tonic, in its
uature, is totally different from such
drugs. It contains no corrosive mine?
rals or acids?in fact, it assists the re?
gular operations of nature, and sup?
plies her deficiencies. Tbe Tonio, in
its nature, so much resembles tbe gas?
tric juice, that it is almost identical
with that fluid. Tbe gastric iuioe is
the natural solvent which, in a healthy
condition of tbe body, causes the
food to be digested; aud when this
juice is not excreted iu sufficient quan?
tities, indigestion, with all its distress?
ing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonio performs the duty of the gastric
juice when tbe latter is deficient.
Sobenck's Sea Weed Tonic is sold by
ull druggists. July 9 +13
Nervous Diseases.?Tbe nervous
system exercises a powerful influence
over the digestion, secretion, nutri?
tion, absorption and the circulation cf
the blood, and its purpose seems to be
to bind together the machinery of tbo
body and to combine and harmonize
the action of its several parts. Diseases
of the nerves are moro numerous and
ulllictivc now than at any former pe?
riod?a result due to the luxurious
habits of tbu age and to the excite?
ment which tbe struggle for wealth
aud position kindles a jiV inflames.
Almost every individual one meets in
society, of either sex, is troubled with
some nervous affection or other.
Among the various medicinal agents
recommended by tbe profession or
recognized by tho general public ad
nervines, Eostetter's Stomaoh Bitters
occupies the foremost plaao. Physi?
cians of eminence concede to it very
extraordinary tonio properties, and its
popularity as nn invigorant with all
classes of the community is indicated
by a demand for the article which has
distanced competition and is still con?
tinually increasing. Men of business,
politicians, authors, lawyers, invent?
ors, speculators?in short, all who are
engaged iu exoiting pursuits?will find
this healthful alterative and restora?
tive the most restful cordial for the
brain and the over-tasked nervous sys?
tem that the combined resources of
botany and chemistry have yet given
to the world. It is agreeable to the
taste, promotes digestion, regulates
the liver and the bowels, depurates tbo
blood, and is the most helpful elixir in
oases of severe mental despondency
that ever cheered tbe depressed spirits
of man or womau. J1'JJ3'; I
