? ?LUMBIA* S. G. San lay Hornin?, February 7, 1875. The Remedy for DefloUneles. The tax of one and four-fifths mills levied by the last Legislature, to pay deficiencies of the fiscal year ending November 1,1874, will not amount to mnoh more than one-third of the sum. There will be a balanoe of $320,000 re? maining unpaid, which will have to be oarried into the deficiencies of the pre? sent year. Tho present General Ap? propriation Bill will go aa high as 8170,000 above the tax wbioh is now being collected, and the sum of defi? ciency brought up to nearly $500,000. Id considering the defioienoy of the ourrent year, the Union-Herald advises that the appropriations be brought nearer to the money on hand, rather than to impoae a large defioienoy tax for another year. It suggests that the school appropriation be out down from $240,000 to $200,000; that the $10,000 thus saved be transferred to the Uni? versity, and the $52,000 appropriated in the bill for its support be withheld. It further proposes to reduce the sala of County Auditora, Solioitors and School Commissioners twenty per oant., and save thereby $16,000, $2,000, it thinks, may be saved in the expenses of the office of tho Adjutant and Inspector-General, and $15,000 taken off the sum awarded to penal and oharitable institutions. A reduc? tion of nearly $100,000 would thus bo j?l and. bw similar curtailment of the pay of members and attacheea and olerks, the sum to be expended would approach nearly to the proceeds of the tax levy. Tha difference?$35,000? could bo provided for by levying a tux of five per cent, upon inoomes derived from tho State over $500, including County Treasurers. This plan of our contemporary leaves out of view the unpaid balance of defioienoies of tho previous year. W?i suppose! that those Interested in it will have .idconsider it' as among the things that were. What it sayB of the present levy may not suit all parties, but, however tardyy is a.blow in the right direction. Much more than it suggests can be done - in the way of economy, It does not touch the ques? tion of salaries, except in the case of oar tain County officers. Tho same prinoiple might well be applied to the State offloers, who are both too numer? ous and batter paid than the oondition of the State warrants. What is said about the University is worthy of at? tention: "There is a wide-spread feel? ing that more money is expended upon it than upon any other object of State oare, in proportion to the good ob? tained for the expenditure." It would be well, while in pursuit of sums that may be out down, to reconsider the clauses of the Appropriation Aot, which gives $'24,000 to professors, $12.800 to benefioiary atudeuts, and $2,600 for miscellaneous expenses. If the University were officered by able, learned and acceptable pro? fessors, it would not be necessary to go into the high-ways and offer money inducements to students to go to it. We do not propose, however, to dis cass it. The time has not come, but is approaohing, when it will bo appro? priate and profitable to do so. The whole Boheme and plan upon which it is oonduoted are unhealthy and vioious, and can yield no good results. It will remain a drawback, a blot and sore upon our educational system, until it is remodelled entirely. In connection with" tho appropriation considered necessary to support it, it may be well for those who vote away the hard earned ' money of the people, to re? member that they are entitled to have a quid pro quo. Georgia baa now at her State University 218 students, not one of whom costs the State a cent. Nor does the University itself cost anything, for the $8,000 voted annu? ally iB not a donation, but simply the annual interest on a debt, Georgia, with taxable property . amounting to | 8260,000,000, might do better; but Siuth Carolina, in her impoverished condition, attempts to do too mnch, keeping np the form and expense of higher eduoation without the reality. Why should a poor State, over its ears in debt, with only $140,000,000 or taxable property, pay $52,800 to an institution whioh, at best, yields a small and doubtful good? It is grati? fying to find protests coming op from every quarter against extravagance. It is close akin to corruption. Both should be struok down wherever found. Aaron A: Bmdfoy has been expelled from tha Georgia bar. A jury triod his case and found him guilty of vari? ous offences. He will probably now eome to lit* In this' State. The S?rth Carolina Centennial. A mass meeting wub ?ol?i tu Char? lotte, ou the iih lubtuul, to lake the preliminary steps necessary for tho celebration of the oenteuoiul anniver? sary of tho Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, ou the 20tu May next. Ex-Governor Wm. A. Graham presided, and delivered uu address of nearly three hours, principally devoted to the maiutaiuanco of the truth of this piece of North Carolina history, the publication of which we shall look for with interest. A busineaa committee reported a Beries of resointions, em? bodying an Aot to he passed by the Legislature to incorporate the "Meck? lenburg Centenuial Association" and appropriating 35,000 for its objects. After the adoption of the resolutions and the transaction of other business, J. H. Wilson, Ec.a , made uu interest? ing statement bearing upon the au? thenticity of tho declaration. "He stated that he had been em employed legally, by several of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declara? tion of Independence, in the matter of securing pen done for them under an Act of CongrosH passed in 1832, and that he had positive and indubitable proof that said declaration was made in the town of Charlotte, and in the County of Mecklenburg, A. D. 1775. on the 20th day of May, gathered by solemn affidavit of these olients; that u Mr. Jack, a resident of Natohitoohus, La., was one of these olients, and 'hat that gentleman had forwarded to him an original document, in the hand? writing of his father, Oaptaiu Jack, who was the hearer of the Mecklen? burg Declaration to lbs Continental Congress at Philadelphia, bearing clear and unmistakable evidence of the faot." If the Louisiana Investigating Com? mittee will give Col. Morrow's evi? dence the weight it deeerves, it will make a considerable difference in their report. Unlike Maj. Merrill, Col. Morrow has never had his veracity aallod io question. On the contrary, he is endorsed by Gen. Sherman as being second to no officer of bis rank in ability and reliability; and as it has been his mission to closely examine the very matters upon which be talks so unreservedly, tile country oan well afford to listen tu what he says. He huB Bpoken freely and honestly, espe? cially for the Bed Biver oonntry, where his investigations have been carried ou. Instead of a reign of ter? ror, iu which the white oitizens of the South are the aggressors, be pictures communities that desire to be law abiding, and would be with half a chance; instead of persecution of co? lored voters and ostracism of whito Republicans, he tells of burdensome taxes levied upon property owners and stolon by white officials. If he oan be? lieve the profession of the people, and he thinks he oan, they desiro to live quietly under the Constitution of the United States, aud any decision won in a fair eleotion would be accepted by them not peaceably but heartily; Though L^uiriiuu* is the last Stute in which he wuuld care toiuvest, he would have no fears about settling anywhere iu that Stato und expressing hid Re publicau principles. Such is tho cha? racter of Sheridan's "banditti," drawn by an officer who knows wh>it ho is talking ubout. Ami now wo h we it that the Repub? licans iu Congress propose lo revive the iroi.-olad tost, oath, iu order to pre? vent tilty throo members of tho next CoogresM from tukiug their seats. This is oaa uf tho desperate devices suggested lo prolong the miserable ex? istence uf tho Radical party and pre? vent u reform which is inevitable. It is the old story ubout Mrs. Partington over ugaio. Syduny Smi'b tells us that there was a grant storm at Sid mouth. A great flood had set in upon tho town, the tide rose to au incredi? ble height, tho waves rushed in upon the honses, and everything was threat? ened with destruction. Io the midst of this sublime and terrible scene, Dame Partington, who lived npon the beaoh, was seen at the window of her house, mop ia hand, trundling her mop, squeezing out the sea water and vigoronsly pushing baok the Atlautio Ooean. The Atlantic was roused, and bo was the spirit of Mrs. Partington; I but tho contest was unequal and the Atlantic Ooean beat Mrs. Partington. "She was exoellent at a slop or a pud? dle," odds tho great reformer, "but she should not have meddled with the tempest." The moral applies to Con? gress as well as it did to the British Parliament. Mrs. Partington will bo again beaten. A most wonderful and formidable volume, which has been twonty years in preparation, hai just been issued by an enterprising London house. It is entitled the "Mercantile Directory of the World for 1875," and com? prises over 3,000 quarto pages. It oontains a register of the principal business firms throughout tho world, and appears to have been compiled with great oare and aoonraoy, and is brought down to the latest possiLle dates. The United States and Ter? ritories are well represented. The vol ume also oontains a glossary in six different languages of oommeroial terms, names of trades, etc, and is so classified as to render reference easy and ready. _ Andrew Johnson is in bis sixty-aixtb year.

M , for the purpose of eleotiog a Judge for Third Judicial Circuit. A communication was received from the Governor, addressed to Speaker Elliott, in which he says: Beferring to your letter of date January 26,1875, on behalf of your honorable body, re* questing me to make inquiries relative to the occupation by tbe United States authorities of the building iu Charles? ton known as the Citadel Academy, I now have the honor to report, that 1 havo made such inquiries, und the ou ly question now unsettled seems to be the right of tbe United States to hold and occupy tbe promises as captured property. I am of tbe opinion, that an effort should be made to recover possession of the property, or to lease the same to the United States at a fair ront. I think, further, that the State is entitled to rent for the past tiso of the property. I will carry out ouy plan whioh the General Assembly may de? vise, to protect the luteroste of tbe State in this property. Mr. Trenhotm moved that a request he sent to the Governor, to take such steps as would be advisable to secure the restoration of tbe property aud rent for use of the same. Agroed to.

The enacting c'ause of a bill to pro? hibit the bearing of nruiH, or carrying of ooncealed deadly weapons on elec? tion day, in Barn well County, was stricken ont. Mr. Hayno, from speciul oommittee appointed to inquire of the Treasurer what amount has been realized from past due and accrued interest on de? posits of public funds, and the arrange? ment with the bank or banks under whioh such deposits were made, re? ported that tho Treasurer made the following statement: The interest on bank deposits received by htm during | the fiscal year ending October 31, I 1874. amounted to 83,357.05; amount' received from Bame source, for present flsoal year, up to February 1, 1875, is about 81,000, and revenue from same 1 source will uveruse ubout 8500 per month for soran months to come. De posits of public funds are made in the following named bank": South Caro? lina Bank aud Trunt Company, Cen? tral National Bunk. Carolina National Bank, in city of Columbia; also, fol? lowing named banks iu Charleston: South Carolina Loou and Trust Com? pany, People's National Bank. The three first mimed banks pay interest at rate of 3 per ceut. per aunnm ou j average monthly balances; South Caro? lina Loan and Trust Company pay 4 1 per ceut. per annum ou average .monthly balances; aud Peoples' Na tional Bink und Fust National Bmk do not p iy interest ou deposits amount paid to date, (or officer*- and attachees of the General Assembly, 1874-75. 913,293 ?l). On motion of Mr. DavK the consi? deration of the report was made the special order for Monday uext, ut 2 P. M. The Chair culled the attention of the House to the communication received from the State Treasurer, yesterday, and said the following statemeut as to the amouut paid ou certitioates issued to clerks, attachees, &o., prior to the Christmas reoess, will be observed: "I paid the employees ouo hilf of their salaries when the Legislature ad? journed for the Christmas holidays, which required about 817,000." liv further reference to tho Act of 1873-74, regulating appointment and pay of of? ficers and attachees, it will be foand that the whole ?mount necessary for I the payment of these officers for an en? tire session of 100 days, would he (le-s the recess of twenty days) $25,280. If, as stated by the Treasurer, it re? quired "about 317,000" lo pay the said officers and attachees for 29 days' services, the cost for these officers for the whole session would be nearly 351,000. I cannot understand upon what ground such a declaration was j made. The law requires that the cer tificates for the pay of officers and at-1 taoheoa of the House shall be signed by me, as Speaker, aud attested by the Clerk, and that the certificates for em? ployees io the engrossing and Attor? ney-General's departments shall be signed by the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House, and attested by the Clerks of the two Houses. The whole amount of certifi? cates signed by me uud attested by the Clerk, up to tho time of tho recess, on uooouut of salaries and per diem of the officers and attachees first mentioned, aggrogutod 85,202 50, as will be shown by the Clerk's books. From memo? randum furnished mu by tha Clerk of tho Sonnte, I rind that the whole amount issued for tho same tune iu payment of salaries und por diem of officers and attachees of the Senate aud employees of the Engrossing and Attorney-General's Departments ag? gregates S5.483, making a total of 810.085 50. Tho difXeroaoe between the statement of the Treasurer and the actual amount represented by tho cer? tificates issued will be seen to be more than 30.000. I have felt it due to the Clerk und my&elf to make this state? meut to the House, with a view of re? moving any unjust impression i that might have prevailed had tho state? meut of the Treasurer been allowed to pass unchallenged; for without expla? nation, the inference might have at? tained that the presiding officers aud Clerks had caused to be paid out 317,000 to the officers and employees for services for whioh the law only en? titled them to reoeive S10.C85.50. Mr. Bray ton presented claims of S. J. Lee, T. O. Oavender and John L.
