Thursday Horning, Februar?25, 1875 j Another Ii?nd Comr?UsioBtr. ; We had supposed that South Caro? lina bad had enough of Land Com? missioners and Advisory Boards. Bat here is a voluminous bill of thirteen sections to provide for the appoint? ment 4f* a.Commissioner 'of'Forfeited I Lands. * First, he is to be appointed I by the Governor and hold his office ] two years. The Auditors are to fur? nish Hm with a list of all the lands in their respective Counties forfaited to the State tor the non-payment of taxes and from want of buyers at the sale, with a statement' of the amount of | taxes, costs and penalties due on them. He is to have aooesa to the books of.| the Oonnty Auditors and Treasurers, with a right to report to the Comp- J (roller-General any omissions or ir regularities concerning forfeited lands which may appear therein. It says: "That the said Commissioner, im? mediately after reoeiving auoh lists, is to publish a?notice in each newspaper j published in the State, addressed to the former ownera of such, forfeited lauds,, theb; bei? or legal, repreaenta tiveq, or4di,tb?6, ud; others interested theroibjifltatibg i.oubatantiairy the con? ditions as ta time, plaoeor terms under which1 the same may be redeemed, and thst, af ts? the expiration of euch time, all suoh forfeited lands, not redeemed, will be sold oh aooonnt of the State; J and ahall oause one or mote notices to the same effect to bo posted at the| County Court House in each County, on the1 first sale-day and on the first day of the Oonnty Court next there? after." , He is also, between 1st June and 1st December of each year,, to attend at the County Court House in each County, to exhibit to such former I owner* of forfeited lands, their heiis or legal representatives, creditors, and others interested therein, as may de? sire the same, a statement of the taxes, ?costs and penalties due thereon, with lawful interest from the time they be? came due. In the s4xth section it is provided thai in case any forfeited lands, oliftU not bo redeemed within the timo provided by law, the Commie* oioner shall prepare an account of the j taxes,' do'sTs'' and penalties due. with interest, und place 'same in the J hands of1 tbV Sheriff of the' County, and pressed to a judgment After ad? vertisement, the tracts of laud for1 which taxes are due, anu on whioh judgments have been obtained, ore to be exposed at publio sale to the highest and best bidder for cash. He is to turn his oash over to the State Treasurer at stated | times, and make his report to the1 Comptroller General. The Commis? sioner shall have his principal office in Columbia, and the power to appoint one or more deputies in the Counties. | He is to give bond. The cream of the, matter comes last. The said Forfeited Lands Commissioner, in lieu of all salary and fees from the State, shall receive a commission of 83)? per cent? um on all moneys received by him on aooonnt of the State, according to the provisions of this Act. As we have said, the Aot is long and elaborate, and we have been compelled to omit several of its sections, and to give only an abstraot of the others. It1 will be a fat office for the Commie-1 ciouer and his assistants, and another fountain of oorrpption, mismanage? ment nn'd oppression. It is a very poor scheme to enable the State to get judgment against its own citizens, and' sell them ont of honso and home, and drive them from the State. In the disoussion whioh the bill underwent, we noticed that Bevern! Senators treat* ed the delinquent land-owners as if they deliberately allowed their lands to be forfeited in order to avoid paying taxeo.' They-opoke with resentment against them for the imputed avo& ance of a public duty. We believe no suoh tale. Snob a ease would be clearly csooptiotial, i The cause is, rather, that both assessments and) taxee are unreasonably high; that they are imposed by men who have an in? terest to make thooi high; that v/hen collected they uro squandered and stolen, and so tho demand pnd necon aity for still heavier imposition are constantlyMtf ffl:1' W>U bill is aimed right rtfeffi^^ ooaal Wfcsi Wm^VfflMi go* give,, and.

It ie intended td transfer the collection of the tax, designed for the support of schools in the several Gonntiea, from the State to the Conn-j ties. Under it the Boards of County Gon-inisaionerB are authorized to levy an annnal tax of not less than two mills npou the taxable property of the Oonnties for tho support of schools, to be collected at the same time and by the same officers as the other taxea for the same year, und held in the County Treasuries and paid oat exclusively for the support of publio schools, as pro? vided by law. The funds are to be distributed proportionately among the several Sohool Districts of the Coun? ties. Complaints are constantly made that funds due Oonnties for this pur? pose aro withheld from them. The mode of oolleoting and holding the school funds may possibly be an im? provement upon the one now in vogue. Report Sabmlttcd. The joint oommittee of the Senate and House of Representatives ap? pointed to investigate certain opera? tions in the Treasury connected with funding the bonds under the Aot to rednoe the volome of the publio debt, yesterday made a report, whioh was submitted to both houses. It con? tains very damaging statements, ex? pressed, however, in a cool, business? like way. Several transactions are detailed minutely and characterized as frauds. The report is accompanied' by a large mass of evidence. We bave not yet had an opportunity of examin? ing the paper, and shall reserve any comments npon it until we have ,done SO.' A bill come before the Senate, yes? terday \[ to make an appropriation of 818,690.25 to pay pay certiorates, bills payable of the late State Treasurer and other evidenoes of indebtedness held as olaima by the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Company against the State of South Carolina. In tbe third sec? tion tbe State Treasurer iB required to retain in thp Treasury money sufficient from the taxes of 1876, to pay them, It was accompanied by a report from the Finance Committe, recommending that aboct $17,000 of the amount be paid. The matter was discussed by Senators Smalls, Dunn, Jones, Jeter and Nash. It appeared from state? ments made, that a largo portion of tbe sum demanded oousists of perhaps more than forty small chums for vari? ous services and on various accounts, which had been brought up on specu? lation and hypothecated in the Freed men'd Dank as collateral security for loans obtained from it by Mr. J. G. Thompson. After argamont, a mo? tion was mudu to strike out the enact? ing clause, and it was passed by a vote of 23 for to 6 against. Tho samo action was taken with tho report. The Senutora held the view that whoever buys claims and hypothecates them in banks, is himself liable for the amount he may receive on them, and to him and not the State mast the bauk look for satisfaction. There appeared to bo a settled pur pose in the Senate, yesterday, to pass tbe odious bill, whioh we disouBs else? where, to appoint a Forfeited Landa Commissioner, and place him with ample power over the unfortunate land? holders who may not have been able to pay the heavy does of tbe State Government, to sell and alienate their lands. The motion made by Mr. Jeter, of Union, to strike oat a clause which adds interest to taxes, costs and penalties, was hardly entertained. We trust that whatever tbe Senate does, that the Boose will give tbis offensive and oppressive scheme the death it deserves" when it reaches it.

Mr. Johnson introduced ft reeola tlon, that' whereas, by a so oallod Be* publican gazette of the city, known Ml the Uniou-Herald, controlled by n cor-1 ; tain State offioial and edited by one J. I G. Thompson, a well known enemy to Republicanism, an erroneens impres I eion may go abroad that it is the de? sire of the majority of the people of J 1 the State that the Federal troops now stationed here abould be removed; and whoreas the peaceful, law-abiding citi? zens of thia State desire that no op-1 portunity be given for domestic vio? lence or bloodshed, and the preseuco of the Federal troops is n restraint to organized disciplined conspirators and disturbers of the public peaae, that it is the sense of this General Arsembly that the majority of the people of the State desire the presence of the Fede? ral troops now here,, and that they shall remain and contiuue to serve as conservators of the peace and rights and liberties of peaoefal Citizen?. The following message was received from the Governor, which was or derod for oon aid oration to morrow: Hon. R. H. Oteaves, President of the J Senate?Sm: I return herewith without I approval au Act originating in the Senate, entitled "An Act to amend an Act entitled 'An Act to validate all I payments made by the Oonnty Trea-1 surer of Edgefleld Oounty, under and I pursuant to the provisions of a joint resolution entitled joint resolution to authorize the County Commissioners J of Edgefleld County to levy a special tax of threa mills, to be levied at the time of general tax; and to declare the intent of said joint resolution.' " My objections to this Act are an fol? lows: By a joint resolution approved December 22, 1873, entitled "Joint resolution to authorize the County Commmiesioners of Edgefleld County to levy a special tax of three mills to be levied at the time of the general tax," authority was given to the County Commissioners of Edgefleld Couuty to I levy and collect a special tax of three mills on the dollar for the year ending Ootober 31, 1874, and to continue the collection uf the same tax for each succeeding year until the past indebt? edness of that Oounty should be fully paid. By an Aot passed at the same session I of the General Assembly, entitled "An Act to validate all payments mud - by the Oonnty Treasurer of E<lgefleld Oounty, under and pursuant to the provisions of it joint resolution enti? tled 'Joint resolution to authorize the County Commissioners of Edgefleld County to levy a special tax of three mills, to be levied at the same time with the general tax,' and to declare the intent of said joint resolution," the I paymenta made by the County Trea? surer of Edgefleld Oounty, pursuant to the joint resolution of December 22, 1873, were validated and declared to have been duly and lawfully made in conformity with the true intent and I meaning of the aforesaid joint resolu? tion. It was further declared by the I same Act to be the true intent aud meaning of the said joint resolution, that all past due claims whioh had been audited and allowed, and for which checks or ordera hud bebu issued prior to the passage of the said joint resolu tion ? that is, December 22, 1873 ? shall bo paid iu full out of the special tax levied under the siid joiut resolu- I tiou, without requiring such past duo claims to be re-audited. The coope and effect of the present Art, is to extend tho operation of the last named Act, so as to require the payment in full of all claims unditud aud allowed by tho County Commis? sioners prior to October 31, 1874. without further audit. The Iaht named Act gave no reason why it became ne-1 oessury thus to validate payments made J by the Treasurer of Edgefleld Couuty, nor why it became necessary to re? quire the payment in foil of all past due claims without ro-audiling. If the payments made by the Treasurer were properly made, np enactment was ne? cessary to establish their validity. If they were not properly made, there appears to be no good reason why they should have been made valid by the General Assembly. The passage of tho present Aot can? not fall to create the impression that but for suoh speoial enactment the claims referred to will not be paid in full without some re-examination or re-audited. Suoh action does not commend itself to my favorable con? sideration. Grave and repeated com plaints have been publicly made that the financial affairs of Edgefleld Oounty have not been correctly con? ducted. While the proofs of suoh obargos have not been laid before me, and I am consequently unable to say whether well founded or not, yet tho faot of such complaints may justly restrain me from consenting to any legislation whioh seems intended to summarily out off all further opportu? nity for questioning the validity of any claims' allowed by the County Commissioner!! prior to the oloae of the fiscal year. TheBo claims, so far as I oan learn, have never been sub? jected to any examination, except such as they may have received at the hands inf. .the County Coromiooionoro. If, a* has already been remarked, the action .of the Oonnty Commissioner* has; been legal and jdst, the claims in queaWdn wffl not suffer ;f<o/m ariy ex? amination to.whioh thoy maybe sub jeotea* If, on the other baud, injustice or wrong his booh done by the Com? missioners, it is riot just that the peo? ple ehould bo compelled to submit to SQoh injustice or wrong, without fur? ther opportunity for investigating such claims. IT Hit legal proceedings shall be In-1 etitntod to teat tbe validity of the claims in question, tbe Treasurer will need no special authority for paying them, end if snob proceedings shall be inttitntsd for testing their validity, I oannotjeonsen t to over-ride suob pro? ceedings by legislation. The least that can justly be done in snoh a case is to leave the rodreBS of any alleged wrongs done by the County Commis? sioners to the judicial tribunals. Tbe belief is general tbrougboot tbe State that many, if not most of our Counties, are now burdened witb past indebted-1 ness, whiob is due, in a great degree, to tbe improvidence or dishonesty of Couuty officials. I share in this be lief. I am confident that there is not one County in this State in which money enough has not been collected by taxation to pay every dollar of legitimate expanse in maintaining the I governmeut of tbe County. It is I right, therefore, that such past in? debtedness should bo most curoiully scrutinized. No such sorutiuy can be too severe or minute. To enact thut 1 such past indebtedness shall bo paid in full anil without further examina? tion, is to add to the burden of injns-1 tiae auder whioh the people of many Couuties nre now groaning. Espe I oially is this true of Edgefield County, where reoeut events ehould teaoh us that prudence and jnstioe alike forbid any increase of tbe onuses of dissatis faction and disturbance which have hitherto existed. Tbe past indebtedness of that County should be most carefully exa-1 mined, and, when duly examined, j should be provided for in suob a man? ner as to impose the least hardship on tbe tax payers of the Couuty. Cer? tainly no euch summary mode of pay? ment and forbidding of further exa? mination, us is provided for iu tbe present Act, should be adopted. But, in addition to the objections already stated, I And nnother weighty and oonclnsive objection to the present Aot, in tbe fuct that judicial proceed? ings are now instituted and pending in the Circuit Court for EdgeQeld Couuty, which have for their object, as I am informed, the investigation of the claims which constitute the past due indebtedness of Edgefleld County. Such an investigation is tbe common right of all the people of that County, and it would, in my judgment, bo un? wise and i'vjnst, ponding tbe oonolu-1 aion of suob judicial investigation, to direct tbe payment in full of all claims against tbe Cuunty. The Circuit Court can be safely trusted to do justice iu tbe premises, and a due regard for tho interests of the people of tho County require that j tbe court should be allowed to proceed to such conclusions as law and justioe may dictate. I am satisfied that tbe real object of the present Act is to make certain claims against the County, which are not now payable out of any funds, payable out of the proceeds of tbe special tax directed to | be levied by tbe joint resolution of j December 22, 1873. To that object, I see no objections, but unfortunately tho present Aot has an effect far wider than simply to make snoh claims paya- j ble; for, as already shown, it makes such claims not only payable, but 1 directv their payment in full, aud without any further examination.

Concurrent resolution (by Mr. Jeter) instructing the Clerks of the two Uouses to report why the immigration report has not been published, was decided in the affirmative. A communication was received from Seorotary of State Hayne, enclosing n statement showing the total receipts und disposition of tbe moneys re? ceived by bim as Land Commissioner since be bus been in office, viz: Re? ceipts, $21,002.83. Disbursements, commissions nnd traveling expenses of agents, surveying, &o., $5,780.13; amount paid State Treasurer, $10, 166 13; balance on band, $8,056 57; total, $21,01)2 83. By tbe report of tbe State Treasurer furnished there is a discrepancy of $1,800 between his statement and the foregoing. This is caused by bis having credited that] amount when paid him to the fees of the offioe of tbe Secretary of State proper, and not to tbe Land Commis? sion Department, as should have been done, thus making tbe credit of the fees proper $1,800 too muoh, and the fees of tbe Land Commission Depart? ment a corresponding amount too little.
