COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, March 4,1875. Omr Jar ndyce ?nd Jarndyee. The Sapreme Oonrt has loog ago decided th at the assets of?the Bank of the State are to be held for the pay? ment of the debts of the back, and it has furthermore prescribed the mode of payment. It has directed how those assets are to be distributed among the respective creditors, designating the order in whioh the several obligations shall be discharged. Tho theory of the receiver's fanotions is, that be is the officer of the court appointed to preserve the funds whioh are subject to its order, and to be paid out by him according to its order. What it has been in practice is only known iu part, and that ia bad enough. There have been, we do not recollect how many, Receivers appointed, aud the commis? sions allowed to them and to tho Olerk of the Court amount to $135,790. This process of appointing reoeivers baa gone on until a large part of the fund has thus boon oonsumed, not to mention the imprudent and dis? honest loans which they have au? thorized?loans secured by straw collateral, and beyond recovery. Now, 'that Mr. Ov O. Puffer, whose slioe amounts to $10,355, has been transferred from the financial spboro, ? where his suooesa has been so marked in putting money in his own pocket, toferdffttometio station abroad, tbe q ihaii ju iktifally atisaai Whether any etfjp'a will-be* takon-, befow his depar ^^ty^V*.^**^ to look into way confided4o ina hands? t Ahottfer question, equally pertinent, is, whe? ther a new Receiver is to be appointed, and, if so; whether be ia to be allowed tho same latitude and the eame hand? some perquisites?- Still another ques? tion mav b| propnjly raised*, whether v< *>t\a jokf hs>o*roVs^ue3fat enough? whether the SrateY^h*ich'v is liable to make good the debt* -of the bank, will look.ou aud,8oi3 I'du last dollar -squan? dered, und th*n meekly represent to -the tax-payers that the moneys of the bank being gone, and the creditors not paid, it w|l r^AeiuotaStly compelled to impose5 a tax npo*. them ta make good the deficit? These are grave matters, the consideration of whioh cannot any longer be properly post? poned. There are two interests to be protected?the one the interests of the State, already seriously-..injured; the Other the interests of-tho creditors, no doubt badly- injured, alsol The duty iu the one case devolves upon the Ad? ministration, in tho other upon Judge Reed, the Judge, of the circuit, and the aolioitors of these parties. Jotlge Re?d' has already been ap? pealed io by another jour nil, the Heu>s and Courier, to aot with boldness In the case, and '.'to refuse to "allow the shrunken assets of the bank to be fur? ther reducediu amount." The sug? gestion is made to him to order a sale of tbe assets, aod to distribute tLe proceeds. If this cannot be done, he is asked to see to it that tbe new Re? ceiver to be appointed shall have "a minimum compensation for what work be may actually do." We ask further, why do not lawyers, or some lawyer representing the creditors, make a j motion before tbe court, asking it to Jrder the fund to be paid iu without aether expense and delay? Motives foil protracting this case ought never to have existed on one aide, and should new be made te cease on the other. Tbe creditors should demand a settle? ment, aud the' State onght to second and further that demand. Otherwise it will drone .on like Jarndyoo and Jarmlyco, and the time will ooine wheu no man except those who have had tue pickings, will know what it meaus. What that, prospeot is, we can all rejEf?io tho iuimitablo de? scription of Dickons. Innumerable children have been born into the cause; innumerable young people have married into it; innumerable old peo? ple havd diel out of it. Scores of . persons havo deliriously found them? selves made parties in Jarndyco aud Jarndyeg? without knowing how or why. Whole families have inherited legendary hatreds with the suit. The little pJUrtjjiiff or defendant, vplio was promisedneW rocking-horse when Jarndyco and Jarndyco should beset tlr^ bus grown mp. possessed himstlf of uv^ii horse, end trotted away into the othe* world. Fair wards of court have fadeu juto mothers and grand? mothers; a long procession of chan? cellors has com? jQ and gone oat: the legion of . bills iu lbs suit have been transformed into met** bills of mor? tality;' there1 are not three Jarndjoes left open the earth, perhaps, sinoo old Tom Jarndyco, in despair, blew his (?? Hatniu.?.-:-??r-,?r-r?? !..',.???ra braicaout at a ooffee-houae in Chancery Line; bat Jarcdyoo and Jarndyce still drag* its dreary length before tbe OOort, perennially hopeless. The ?nie of Tremarer Uarilogo. At the evening session of the House of Representatives, last evening, the oharges against the State Treasurer and his reply tu them were discussed to a late hour. Mr. Bruyton, of tbe Joint Special Committee, claimed for it that it had made a thorough and oorapleto investigation, and disclaimed for it any intention to impugn the Ettcutivu or embarrass his administra? tion. Thoy woro not no vices, they wero not packed, thoy were not moved by malioinus motives, us the Treasurer had recklessly said. They had re oeived scant courtesy from him^rom the start, but they had acted towards him, notwithstanding, with indul? gence, favor and impartiality. He then proceeded to discuss und explain the points made iu the report, saying, amongst other things, that the Trea? surer had littlo reason to boast of hav? ing drawn the bill to reduce the vo? lume of the public debt, after having sd mit ted to funding ander it bonds and coupons whioh were not valid claims ngaiust the Skate. Certain of the bonds funded were of those which werfe involved In the Morton, Bliss k Co. suit,'in which it has often been ram?red; with what truth he would not; undertake to say, that the Trea? surer was himself concerned. In re? ply to the figures and pleas of the Trea? surer as to tho interest coupons, he quoted from the reports made to the General' Assembly tfor the years of 18G8, 'GO, '70 and '71, that it was true, as said by Mr. Cardozo, that OS > January 1, ' 1871, tblofo was outstanding interest claims to the amount of $535,000. On the con? trary, tbe reports show that tbe payment 'of Interest for fehreo years amounted to $900,408? being u differ? ence of $47,023 25.botweou actual pay? ments of interest and tbe Treasurer's statements. This Was either a wilfully false or grossly inaccurate statement. The reports show that the interest of those years had all been paid, and tbe coupons conld not be a valid claim. And yet, during this period, 3120,000 of such coupons had been funded, and most be considered fraudulent. In conolusioo, tbe member . for Aikcn dwelt upon the fnot that one man, and a Senator, had funded us much ae $286,000 of these coupons, was enough to raise suspicion. These coupons must>, in some way, have beeu ab? stracted from tho treasury?how or by whom, it was nut for him to say. He also treated tha admissions of tbe Treasurer as to the diversion of funds and .tbe tatter of Msjor Multen, us a re? cognition by them both that the law had beeu violuted. and that it tvus done at tho risk and upou the responsibility of the Treasurer. A motion of Himiltou, of Beaufort, that tbe report bo received aa informa? tion and the committee bo discharged, was indefinitely postponed. Greun, of Beaufort, sustained the report, skirmishing rather, and not touching, as be said, "tho magnitude of the subject." He was fur putting the Treasurer on trial. So was Keith, of Darlington. A member from Orangeburg, and Boston, of New berry, were understood to side with the Treasurer. The House adjourned at 10.30. John T. Sloan, Jr., presided and kept tho House in good order. To day, a resolution, as we are in? formed, will bo offered, to appoint a committee to frame an address to the Governor, asking the removal of the Treasurer, according to Artiolo 7, Sec? tion 4, uf the Constitution of the State. This will require a vote of two thirds of eaoh house of the General Assembly. The cause for such rffmoval must be stated at length in the address, and the officer intended to bo removed shall be doly notified and admitted to a hearing in his own defence, before tho vote for such address is taken, and the vote must bo taken by yeas aud nuys, and bo entered on tho journals. ?<????? The Treasurer** Neply. The reply of Treasurer Cardozo is not to tbe allegations in the report of the Special Joint Committee, except in part, but to its conclusions. It is a spirited paper, but diffuse to a fault, and containing somo matters personal to the author, bat of -little interest to tbe pnblie. We shall listen with inte? rest to the discussion which it will to? day give rise to in the House, but do not care to say more of it abtil tho issues of fact have been settled. ?? Loreneo Thomas, who was for a long time Adjutant-General of the United States army, died at Washington, yes? terday. t?r-?r???:?. . * t- ?? ll int.;. 1 ' " '??' HP Th? Bond Bnilmu. A hoe aod cry baa been attempted against tbe investigation into tbe ope rationo of tbe finding bill. 00 tbe pre tended eoore that any aooh investiga? tion will tend to distarb tbe settlement of i tbe pablio debt, and will deter the boldera of tbe valid obligations of tbe State from aooeptiog tbe proposed compromise. To say fair-thinking and unbiased mind, tbe absurdity of Ibid is at onoe apparent. It ia some? what difBoult to imagine bow a cartful and watchful scrutiuy of the opera tiooH of tho funding business can work detriment to those who propose to take advautuge of the Act, und it must be at once apparent that any action of tho General Assembly, which will give a strict construction to the Act requiring the interest (and to be kept separate ond apart, aud which will prevent the State Treasurer from again borrowing from it, is mani? festly u safe-guard to the bond-hold? ers. A strict and li'eral interpreta? tion of that portion of tho Aut whioh provides that tho interest money shall be kept separate aud apart from all 'the other fands of the State, is the only safe guard whioh the bond-holder has under the funding Act, and the investigating committee of tbe General -Assembly have done well to bring this matter to light. Mr. Cardoz j's pleaof-coufeaeioa aud avoid? ance is a She piece of 'special plead? ing, but it is absolutely Worth nothing in law. His plain duty under the spe? cial tax levy, ia to keep the specific fuuds separate aud apart. Dyes he mean to say that if Richard Roe be trustee for.A. and ?>., ho aeii depu.-.it the trust funds belongiug to A. aud B. in oue common fund, aud draw on that fund indibcria?uately? The propor? tion is absurd. The plain duty of the trustee uudcr euoh airoumstaucos is to keep his trust funds separate, apart and distinct, aud Mr. Cardozo being nothing but u trustee for the oroditora of the State, under the several appro? priation Acts, should be made to un? derstand his duty in tho premises. And the quicker this is done, the bt t ter it will be for all parties uouuerned. Mr. Cliadbaiul. The State Treasurer's reply reminds us forcibly of Mr. Chadband's lecture to Joe. "No, my young friend; I will not let you alone. And why? Because I am u harvest laborer; because I am a toiler aud a moiler; because you are delivered over untoe me, aud are become as a precious instrument in my hands. My fnends, may I so employ this iu^tru meut as to use it toe your-'advantage, tue your profit,, toe yopr gaiu, tue. your welfare, toayonr-enrichment.'' Like Chadband's'lecture, this, is hut rhetoric; but not to put too flno a point on it, it ia not to the point at all Where are the disclosures that were promised? Whut ubont L. F. Christo? pher, J. B. Foremau and those other mythical relatives of the mythioal Moouuy, Leggett ?fc Co.? It may be vury interesting for tbe "large yellow man with a fat smile" to kuow that hie funding bill has been pronounced to be the perfection of legal lore; but wa humbly submit, that it would inteie.-i the tax-payers of the State u good deal more to know what disposition has been mad.' of the moneys wrung from them. Wo pause for a reply. Tue Last Days or Conoiiess. ? The New York Harald, of the 1st, says; **It is probable that Congress will adjourn, leaving a number of important ques tions undecided. Among those which, aacordiug to our Washington oorros poudeut, it is impossible for the Se? nate to dispose of in tbe short time remaining, is the Force Bill, over whioh no tears need be shed. The tax bill, it is thought, will also be de? feated in the Sunate. Arkansas and Louisiana are likely to reooivo little at? tention, aod Mr. Piuohback will not be admitted. No news in most of these cases may be considered good news, and we hope both houses will oontout themselves with absolutely ne? cessary legislation. It is rather late iu the session to attempt anything tuoro." United States District Cookt? Charleston, March 2?
