COfcffMBt?, S. C. f^i^^f^l^?^?^j^ 7,187ft.; TM Attltat? oT tfc? Dameerats. The Union-Harald pretends to be? lieve that tha "Democrats" are sitting quiotly bj, watching the straggle be? tween Mr. Ohetnberlain's friends in the Legislature, with those who have oorrnpt motives for overthrowing his administration, end detertninod to make politics! capital out of its wreck. Nothing is or oan be farther from the tratb. The strongest anpportera of Mr. Chamberlain to-day are the Con? servatives of the State, both in and out of the General. Assembly. It is npon their boneat porposo, their unim? peachable motive, their nnbought and | nninflaenoed approval and oordial support of his reform polioy, as em bodied is *oIg, and uou vojcu in earnest worda, that be chiefly leans. They are the mediana through whioh thia polioy passes to the comprehension and aooeptanoe of the better olaeses of Mr. Chamberlain's own party. They stand a beeoou-light for their guidance and an impregnable wall against whioh the oorrupt elements of that party are breaking themselves to pieces. ) They do more. Bye quiet bnt potent and positive influence, doe to character rather than to effort, tbey are wearing away some of the worst evils Jfrom whioh they havo.suf? fer od, And bringing baok those who uavefidflioted them, not, perhaps, to an, appreciation of honesty as a principle, bat as the beet policy. This moon th?e ;|tt-e gr84uaUy^eflectingv It is, of ooorse, bet all that is doairable, bnt it is something. The "Demoorets" are not thinking of party objeots. They iimit - ibair damand to honest end economical administration of the State Government, particularly in the finances and in tbe levying and dis? bursement] of> the taiea. They havw abundant ?reatons to know what the so-oalled Republican. party of thia State is. They oan never forget it. Bat from necessity and from regard to their well-being, they would like to purge it as far as they oan. While it dominates inj the land, if tbey oan get even"rSolaraze ?1*imesa tmt of it in these respects, they will be oontent not to look at other things. They ere not silly enough to expeot healthy and pare blood to be extracted out of a turnip. The implication of the jour? nal alluded ,to^ that, because ouly one Conservative vote "was oast in opposi? tion to the appointment of a commit? tee to frame an address of removal of the Treasurer," Demodrats are con? spiring to overthrow Republican as? cendancy io the State, Is both paltry and offensive. If Republican ascend, anoy can only be maintained by up? holding the Treasurer in the face of the report of the Joint Committee and his ill-tempered and unsatisfactory reply, then must it stoop to a degrada? tion against whioh even Democrats feel bound to protect it and tbe Republi? can administration of Governor Cham? berlain also. 3 Mud Throwing, Some of, oor country and eke onr city exchanges ere plodding in tbe dark iu the treasury investigation qnes tiou. One says that "the Treasurer has, .jKoobtlees, mortally offended a nombsr of bis present accusers, by re? fusing to be e party to their schemes." Now, wsj are not concerned with the motives whioh aetoate some persons. We -etonot tell what they ere. No donhMkey are varied, end it is not likely that they ere right in all oases. But issoamore pertioent to inquire of those who indulge in this sort of allu? sion, whether they have read the re? port of tbe Joint . Special Committee, and well considered the faots and charges therein contained, as also, tbe Treasurer's reply? , That is the source to go for information upon the subject, rather than to the surmises, suspicions and gross imputations caught np at second band from the Union-Herald, and intended to divert attention from the real facta of tbe esse. TUat pure minded and oleen-handed journal, in considering the action of the House of R-jpreseotatifast- adopted by 92 mem? bers againat only 20 against it, and re fleeting tha intelligence, honor, dignity and experience of tho body, has tbe anblosbinj effrontery to say, or to in? timste, that those who constitute this overwhelming vote, are ohiefly persona thwarted in their pet schemes, or de? nied, by tbe Car betas of the treasury, their old-time facilities for growing fat at tbopablio orib. Eliminate them, it says, "and there would not be left a corporal's guard to aunoy the Trea? surer." Thia style of treatment of so grave a matter, of gentlemen ieelnded in that vote of 92, tbe peers of any anywhere in flnaaelet ability, in poli ?oel integrity, io private worth, and in parity of motive, in limply infa? mous. The Treasurer's pause, aa shown', In the paperasubmitted on it?ki* own I with the rest?and in the dieeoMione to which they have given rise?those I of his friends with others?is certainly bad and weak euougb. It is unfortu? nate for him, that be ehonld be so blinded by passion, so reekless as to the sort of weapons be would use io ; his extremity, as to allow a journal whioh hs controls, and in part owns, to belittle and befool it in this dirty fashion. No cause can be intrinsically honest and strong, or decently respect? able, whioh would resort to sooh vile agenoiea to bolster it. The Vote or the Act tic la live to the De? posit or Che Honeys of (He State. I The message of the Governor, an 1 abstraet of whioh we append, vetoing thia Aot, will command the attention and approval of the oonntry. It is perfectly oouolosive as to the vital im , portanoe of' throwing around the trea? sury every possible safeguard. The reasons whioh sustaiu the positions taken are as admirable aa the firmness of the position itself. We cordially oemmeud it as a paper whioh achieves a present public good, and contains the seeds and promise of a greater in the future. It has a riug, a tone and purpose ia it whioh will outlive the issue whioh has evoked it. Yester? day, iu the Senate, a test vote was ?taken upon the question whether the Aot thus disapproved should pass, notwithstanding the Governor's objec? tions. It was a moment of great interest, and the friends of the mea? sure, whioh proposed to designate the Carolina National Bank and the Sooth Oarolina Bank and Trust Company as the sole depositories of all the fands of the State, were confident that it would be passed by a two-thirds vote over the veto. There was no discus? sion?eighteen for it and twelve against it. The bill was lost. Every Conservative vote was oast to sustain the veto and to gnard the publio money. Looking at it, tho Union-Ha? rald ought to hang its head for very Shame at the idle, untrue and mali? cious utterances whioh it continually throwaout against the political motives of snob men as these. The fsot is, the Conservatives support the Qovernor Upon principle, and only upon princi? ple. This is a standing and a biting rebuke to the sort of support which the Union Herald gives him. The fol? lowing is the extract: I return herewith, without approval, an Act originating in tho Senate en? titled "An Aot relative to the deposit of tho moneys of the State, and other provisions in relation thereto." I have carefully considered the provisions of this Aot. It is proper to say that ap? parently oo influeuce has been left un? tried to induce me to approve tho Aot; and, if personal considerations conld be allowed by me to influence my ac? tion upon suob a matter, it would have given me pleasure to sign the Act; but I have resolved, and I stand pledged, not only to the people of the State, but to my own chareoter and con? science, never to allow considerations personal to myself or to individual friends to have weight with me against my convictions of publio duty. I have accordingly examined this Aot solely with referecoe to its effects upon pub? lic interests, and under that rule am compelled to disapprove its general scope and its speoifio details. The safo-keeping of the public funds should be made as absolute and unquestiona? ble as legislation can make it. Safety I is the first requirement, and should I never be made secondary to other con I siderations. If the present Aot omits a single precaution or safeguard now existing, it cannot command approval. It will be useful to examine the pre? sent law regulating deposits of public moneys, iu order that we may com? pare that system with the one now proposed iu the present Act. The present law, as found in Seotion 50, Chapter 17 of the General Statutes, places upon a board, composed of the Governor, Comptroller-General and the .Treasurer, the duty of selecting such banks for the deposit of State funds as the board, or any two of them, may judge, first, to bo secure, and, second, shall pay the highest rate of interest. The Act now before me designates two banks, without qualifi? cation or requirement regarding their safety, good management or bnsiness standing, and requires all State funds to be deposited in these two banks. The oontrast bstween tho two sys? tems is too broad to escape attention or required designation. In the former system, the three highest officers of the State, aoting npon their official re? sponsibility* and two of tbem noder very heavy bonds for the faithful dis? charge of their dnties, are required to seleot, from time to time, sooh backs of deposit for State funds aa tbey shall deem secure. Opportunity ia here af? forded for the exeroise of a reasonable disoretion in the selection of the banks of deposit and the keeping io view ef the strength and oharaotcr of the banks selected. Under the Aot before ms, all this is changed. Mot only are two banks designated at the present time as the sole and exolosive deposit o He?, bat all rower on the pert of eby one. except the General A wee M My, to change <be banks of deposit, U taken ewey. The reeelta to which tooh ? syeteea leede, areslrapty disastrous *Dd unprecedented. If diaeeter be lea pend? ing to these two banks, if their offloete are known to be indulging Id wild speculations, or even to be frandnlently squandering the State fundo, no public officer can intervene to arreet the dis? aster or to mitigate the loss. Nothing short of another Aot of the General Assembly, involving, perhaps, the as? sembling of the Goneral Assembly iu extra session, could enable the State officers to withdraw a dollar of money from either of these banks, except iu regular payment of matured claims against the Stato. Ouce deposited, it must remain, without regard to tho strength or the oonduot of the bank. To sanotion snch a system, is to deli? berately trifle with the funds of the State, and to tempt to the commission of wrongs wbioh may, at any moment, bring ruin upon every public interest of the State. Bat the system proposed in the present Aot, is not metre danger? ous and unreasonable in its geueral features, than in its details. It must be rememberod, io consider? ing this subject, that the State fuuds are not placed iu the backs aa special deposits. If the State funds were special deposits, we might calculate the strength of the vaults or safes of these banks, and the integrity of their officers, and thus reach a tolerably safe conclusion. * But the State funds, when deposited in these banks, be? come general deposits, subject to loan and investment in the sametmanner aa any other fuuds of the bank. The element of tbe financial wisdom and prudence in tbe management of tbe banks becomes, in view of tbia fact, a matter of prime importance. This element is a variable one. Tbe of? ficers and directors of the backe are constantly changing, and with euoh ohaeges come ohanges in the financial .standing of tbe banks and their safety as places of deposit. Of all this, the Act before me takes no cote. The Aot allows no discretion, and gives no heed to the inevitable ohanges whioh banks are constantly undergoing. The examination now made of the general featoeo? of the Act before me persuades me, beyond doabt, drat, that tbe designation by statute of|two banks wherein eball be deposited all tbe funds of the Stute, without provi? sion for avoiding any disaster or loss which may be foreeeen from the disbo nesty of bank officials, or the pecunia? ry weakness of the banks, is utterly iudefeni;ible and hazardous to the limit of recklessness; and, secondly, that tbe designation of the 0>irolioa National Bank of Columbia and the South Carolina Bank and Trust Com? pany is likewise a policy which cannot be vindicated by tbe strength or standing of these partionlar banks, as compared with the vsst amount of the deposits to be committed to tbem or with the security now afforded by tbe six banks among whioh the State funds are now distributed. There is another provision of this Aot to whioh I see grave objection. Seotion 1 re? quires that all "the moneys to be drawn from tho said banks shall bo drawn therefrom equally." If this provision menus what it says, it will be practically impossible to execute the law. A strict compliance with this provision will require tbe State Trea? surer to divido every amount of money required to be drawn into two equal parts, and to draw a check upon each bank for one-half of the amount re? quired. He would not bo at liberty at any time to permit tho amount in one bank to exoeod tbe amount iu tbe other bank by a single dollar. The reasons now stated compel me to with? hold my approval from this Aot, and to urge, with moro than usual earnest ness, upon the General Assembly tho very grave dangers attending the pro? posed manner of keeping tho Sti'.o funds. How names flicker oat and flash up again io the newspapers. Here comes the St. Louis Republican with this bit of information: Koopmacsobap ba<> come to the front again, after a rather long obscurity among the swarming millions of China. He lately arrived in San Franoisoo direet from China, after an absence of over six months. His last voyage to China was made iu tho interests of a Bio Janeiro com? pany, whioh desires to import Chinese laborers into Brazil. His object was frustrated by an unexpected event. The viceroy of the proviooe of Can? ton had promised to assist Koopman sohap in getting all tbe coolies he wanted from the over-populated dis? trict, but whan ho arrived in Canton the viceroy was dead, and a temporary ruler was in his place. Tbe noting viceroy was not willing to aid in run? ning Chinese out of tbe country uutil there was a treaty with the Govern? ment of Brazil. So Koopmansohap returned, and is on his way to Brazil to effect a treaty. When this formal alliance is concluded ho will return to China to superintend tho embarkation of tho first installment of 10,000 coolies into the coffee and pepper regions of Brazil. It will be remem? bered that Koopmanschap nearly populated California with Chinese. Ho laid down tbe basket of chips he had pilfered, and looking hard at the urobin who had been making a target of him by shooting at him with a "nigger killer," said: "Whar was yon raised, chille?" "Sbooargo," said the young hoodlum. "Iu the Norf?" "l'etb, tbur." "I tort so. Snddorn white folks' children wodduot do like dat. Lemma tell you, honey, manners gwine to carry yon furder den money.

An Intbre8tt.no Wohk ?Mr. W. F. Turner, of Charleston, is in this oity, canvassing for a highly interesting and instructive bqok, entitled "The Great Sooth," published by the Ame? rican Publishing Company, of Hart? ford, Conn. Tbe volume is a large royal octavo, of over 800 pages, printed on tiuted paper, contains many maps, and nearly COO engravings. The prices are, according to binding, 86, 88 and 810. It will be sold exclusively by subscription. The following extraot from tbe descriptive circular, will give an excellent idea of the scope of the work: "Ia tho fall of 1872, the publishers of that most popular magazine, called Scribi.er's Monthly, resolved to publish a series of illustrated articles upon tbe resources and the present social and political condition of the Southern Status. The task involved a journey of more than 25,000 miles, carefnl ob? servation and great expense. The area covered by the States formerly oonse crated to the dominion of slavery, amounted to 880,000 square miles, in? habited by 14,000,000 of people. Dar? ing tbo winter of 1872, Mr. Edward King, a jocrnalist, for some time con? nected with the press of the country, and most favorably known as a shrewd observer and a pleasing writer, and Mr. J. Wells Cbampney, an artist of unusual exoelleuos and power in the produotion of charaoteristio sketches, undertook the task of visiting the South in the interest of the magazine, and departed for Texas. Thencefor? ward, for a year, they journeyed np and down the Southern States, meet? ing prominent people, e>ad sketohiug with pen and pencil the salisnt phases of life in the 'Sunny South.' "One of tbe most interesting fea? tures of the work of collecting the ma? terial for 'The Great South' has been the oordial oo-operation offered the publishers and their representatives by Southern gentlemen of literary and political reputation. Letters have been received from all parts of tbe Southern States, communicating facts and views whioh no Northern observer or writer oonld readily obtain by his unaided effort. Theeo voluntary con? tributions have been of great service, especially as the libraries and com? mercial organisations of the section wero Isrgely destroyed or broken np by the rude march of the war. The best commercial authorities in sli tbe Southern oentrea of trade have been consulted, and have generously given all the facie at their disposition. It is intended that the needs and possibili? ties of esoh of the Southern States shall be exposed in the fullest manner, and the earnest help of these promi? nent oitizens has enebled tbe publish era to guarantee a fulfillment of that intention."

One of theee is a fondness for edminils tering drastic purgatives, sucti as bine pill, oalotnel; jalap and castor'oil.' A contrast of the effects of these drench? ing drugs, with tun mild and' benefi? cent operation of HoBtetter's Stomach Bitters, is the best argument that cah be addnoed against the wisdom of' auob destructive treatment. ' The Old fashioned cathartics convulse' the Istomaob, and relax the bowels so ab rubtly and copiously as to weaken them. Hosteller's Bitters, on the con? trary, never gripe the intestines, bat produce n laxative effect' resembling the action of nature; At the same time they reinov? the cause of consti? pation, by arousing the dormant liver to seerete the bile necessary to the regular performance of the execretive ' function, and enables the stomach to thoroughly digest the fodd. Indiges? tion and billionsness having been thus ' overoome, a regular habit of body is the necessary consequence, which the occasional subsequent use of the Bit? ters renders permanent. Every disa? greeable symptom which, in the ab? sence of perfeot digestion and evacua? tion, harraases the system, vanishes under the influence of the great na? tional stomachic and alterative. Health and vigor are twin blessings tbat fol? low its use. Mo|2*J 1 Consumptives, Take Norton.?
