CQLTfitfBtfr, S, C. -?? ? ? ?, 11,1 ? 1 ?11 1 :-~ TIM AUUa4a ?T tte? DuMontt. The Union-Harald pretends to be? lieve that the "Democrats" ere eittiog quietly by, wstohiog the straggle be? tween Mr. Chamberlain'a friends in the Legislature, with those who have corrupt motives for overthrowing bis administration, and determinod to make political capital ont of its wreck. Nothing is or oan be farther from the tratb. The strongest supporters of Mr. Oha-nberlaia to-day are ths Con? servatives of the State, both in and oat of the Osneral. Assembly. It is upon their honest purpose, their unim? peachable motive, their nnboaght and uninfluenced approval and cordial support of his reform policy, as em? bodied in acts, and conveyed in earnest words, that he chiefly leans. They are the medium through whioh this policy pastes to the comprehension and acceptance of tbe better classes of Mr. Chamberlain's own party. They stand a beaooo-light for their guidance and an impregnable wall agaiust whioh the oorropt elements of that party are brsaking themselves to pieces, <j They do more. By a quiet ont potent and positive ioflusnoe, due to character rather than to effort, they are wearing away some of the worst evils .from whioh they have.suf feredMand .bringing baokv those who have^4jlioted4hem, not, perhaps, to ?u appoacmtion of honesty as a principle, but as the beet policy. This much the* jjkw gradually reflecting It ?M ooora* bei all that is desirable, ink' it is something. The "Democrats" are not thinking of party objcots. They lia?>.-^bsir> de mend to- honest and economical m administration of the State Government, particularly in the finances and in the levying and dis? bursement/of? the -fi^ea. They have abundant ?reasous to know; what tbe so-oalled Republican party of this State is. They can never forget it. Bjt from necessity and from regard to their well-being, they would like to purge it aa far as they oan. While it domtnntea ia the land, if they oan get' eve*'*sol^lo Ataf*heas tmt of it 4a these' respeots, they will be oontent not to look at other things. They are not silly enough to expeut healthy and pure blood ito be extracted out of a turnip. The implication of the jour? nal alluded to. that, beoauso only one Conservative vote "was oast in opposi? tion to the appointment of a commit? tee to frame an address of removal of the TrasafUrer,"5 Democrats are con? spiring to overthrow Republican as? cendancy in the State, Is both paltry and offensive.. It Republican asceudf anoy dan Only be maintained by up? holding the Treasurer in the face of the report of the Joint Committee and hie ill-tempered and unsatisfactory reply, then must it stoop to a degrada? tion against whioh even Democrats feel bound to proteot it and tbe Republi? can administration of Governor Cham? berlain also. j *>??? jj Mud Tbrovrlng, Some of. our country and eke our oity exchanges are plodding in tbe dark in the treasury investigation ques? tion. One says that "the .Treasurer has, AppbtlesB, mortally offended a number of bis present accusers, by re f aBing to be a party to their schemes." Now, w^'ara not oonoerned with the motives wbioh actuate some persona We anbot tell what they are. No doabMfceyere varied, and it is not likeljtaf&t they are right in all eases. But sbBhatare pertinent to inquire of those wlio indalge in thie sort of allu? sion, whether they here read the re? port of tbe Joint, Special Committee, and well considered the facts and obarges therein contained, as also, tbe Treasurer's reply? That is tbe source to go for information upon the subject, rather than to the surmises, sospioions aud gross imputations' naught np at second band from the Union-Herald, and intended to divert attention from the real facta'of the ease. That pure minded and olean-handed Journal, in considering the action of the House of Representatives, adopted by 92 mem? bers against pjftly 20 again at it, and re fleeting thslnielllgano?, honor, dignity aud experience,of tho body, has tbe unblushing effrontery to say, or to in? timate, that those who consulate this o ?er whelming vote, are ohlefiy persons thwarted In.ibelf pat schemes, or de? nied, by tha Oevbwrus of the treasury, their old ticao facilities for growing fat at thepoblioorib. Eliminate them, it says, /.laud there would not be left a corporal's guard to snnoy the Trea? surer." This style of treatment off ,si grave a matter, of gentlemen ioeludsd in that vote of 92, the peets of any' ,? .? / % in; 5< ' Ml>?4 anywhrre In floanolal ability, la poli? tical integrity, in private worth, and in parity of motive, is simply iofa anon*. The Treeaurer'a oanse, aa shown, in the papers submitted on it?hie own with the rest?and in the dfeonaaiona to which they have given rise?those of his friends with others?is certainly bod and weak enough. It is on for in? nate for him, that he should be so blinded by psssion, so reckless as to the sort of waaponB he would use in his extremity, as to allow a journal whioh be controls, and in part owns, to belittle end befool it in this dirty fashion. No oanse can be intrinsically honest and strong, or deoently respect? able, which would resort to snob vile agenoiea to bolster it. ? m s? - The Vote of the Act Relative to t he De? posit or the Moneys of the Stats. The message of the Governor, an sbBtraet of whioh we append, vetoing this Act, will command the attention and approval of the oountry. It is perfectly conclusive as to the vital im? portance of' throwing around the trea? sury every possible safeguard. Tbe reasons which sustain the positions taken are as admirable aa tbe firmness of the position itself. We cordially I qemmend it as a paper whioh aobieves a present public good, and oontains the seeds and promise Of a greater in the future. It has a ring, a tone and j purpose in It whioh will outlive tbe! issne whioh has -evoked it. Yaster-) day, in the Senate, a test vote was taken npon 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, which proposed to designate the Carolina National Bank and tbe South Caroline Bank and Trust Company as tbe sole depositories of all tbe funds of tbe 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 guard the public money. Looking at it, tbe Union-Ha? rald ought to bang its bead for very eherne et the idle, untrue and mali? cious ntteranaet whioh it continually throws out agsinstthe political motives of snoh men as these. The faot is, the Conservatives support the Governor npon principle, end only upon princi? ple. This is a standing and a biting feboke to tbe sort of support wbioh the Union Herald gives bim. The fol? lowing ia tbe extraot: I return herewith, without approval, an Act originating in the Senate en? titled ' ;An Act relative to the deposit of the moneys of the State, and other provisions in relation thereto." I huve carefully considered tbe provisions of this Act. It is proper to say that ap? parently no ioflueuce hau been left un? tried to induce me to approve the Aot; end, if personal considerations could be allowed by me to influence my Bo? ston upon snob a matter, it would have given me pleasure to sign the Aot; but I have resolved, and I stand pledged, not only to the people of the State, but to my own ohareoter and con science, never to allow considerations personal to myself or to individual friends to have weight with me against my convictions of public duty. I have accordingly examined this Act solely with reference to its effects upon pub? lic interests, and undor that rule am compelled to disapprove its general scope and its specific details. The safe-keeping of the public funds should be mada as absolute and unquestiona? ble as legislation can make it. Safety is tbe first requirement, and should never be made secondary to other con? siderations. If the present Aot omits a single preoantion or safeguard now existing, it cannot command approval. It will be useful to examine the pre? sent law regulating deposits of publio moneys, in order tbst ws msy com? pare that system with the oue now proposed in tbe present Aot. The present law, as found in Seotion 50, Chapter 17 of the Oeneral Statutes, places npon a board, composed of the Governor, Comptroller-General and the .Treasurer, the duty of selecting snoh banks for the deposit of State funds as tbe board, or any two of them, may judge, first, to be seoure, and, second, shall pay the highest rate of intereet. The Aot now before me designates two banks, without qualifi? cation or requirement regarding their safety, good management or business standing, end requires all State fands to be deposited in these two banks. The oontrast between tho two sys? tems is too broad to escape attention or required designation. In the former system, tbe three highest officers of the State, noting upon their official re? sponsibility, end two of them ander very heavy bonds for tbe faithfol dis? charge of their duties, are required to select, from time to time, snob banks of deposit for State fends as they shall deem secure. Opportunity is here af? forded for the exercise of a reasonable disaretion in the selection of the banks of deposit and the keeping in view ef the strength end oharaoter of the hanks selected. Under tbe Aot before tore, ell this is changed. Not only are two banks designated at the present time ss tbe sole end exolosive deposito Tita, but all power on the pari of any one, exoept the General Assembly, to oheng?Ine bank* of dersoaat, la taken ?way. Tb* results to which euch ? system lesde, ar? simpty disestrofcs and unprecedented.If disaster Im f mpeud ing to these two banks, if their officers ara kriown to be indulging In wild speculations, or even to be fraudulently squandering the State funds, no pnblio officer can intervene to arrest tbe din aster or to mitigate the lose. Nothing short of another Aot of the General Assembly, involving, perhaps, tbe as? sembling of the General Assembly in extra session, coold enable tbe State I officers to withdraw a dollar of money I from either of these banks, exoept in regainr payment of matured claims J against the State. Ouce deposited, it I must remain, without regard to tho | strength or the conduct of the bank. To sanction euch a system, is to deli? berately trifle with the funds of the] State, and to tempt to the commission of wrongs whioh may, at any moment, bring ruin upon every publio interest of the State. Bat the system proposed , in the present Aot, is not more danger- j OU8 and unreasonable in its geueral features, than in its details. It must be rememberod, in consider? ing this subject, that the State funds | ere not placed in the banks as special ] deposits. If tbe Stete funds were speoial deposits, we might c-'.oulate the strength of tbe vaults of safes of I these banks, and tbe integrity of their offioers, and thus reach a tolerably safe conclusion. - But the State foods, when deposited' in these banks, be? come general deposits, subject to losn and investment in the sametmanner as any other fuuds of tbe bank. The element of tbe financial wisdom nud prudence in tbe management of tbe banks becomes, in view of this fact, a matter of prime importance. This element is a variable one. The of? ficers and directors of the banks are constantly changing, and with soon j changes come ohaoges in the financial standing of the banks and their safety as plsoes of deposit. Of ell this, the Aot belore me takes no note. The j Aot allows no discretion, and gives no heed to the inevitable changes which banks are constantly undergoing. The examination now made of the | general feutares of 'the Aet before me [ persuades me, beyond doubt, first, that the designation by statute off two banks wherein shall be deposited all the funds of the State, without provi-j sion for avoiding any disaster or loesj which may be foreseen from tbe 11 is ho nesty of bank officials, or the pecunia? ry weakness of the banks, is utterly indefensible and hazardous to the | limit of recklessness; and, secondly, that tbe designation of the Carolina National Bank of Columbia and the South Carolina Bank end Trust Com? pany is likewise e policy whioh cannot be vindicated by the strength or standing of these particular banks, aa compared with the vast amount of the deposits to be committed to them or with the security now afforded by the six banks among whioh the State funds are now distributed. There is euolber provision of this Aot to whioh I sea grave objection. Section 1 re quires that all "the moneys to be drawn from tho said banks shall bo drawn therefrom equally." If this provision means what it says, it will be practically impossible to execute the law. A strict compliance with this provision will require the State Trea? surer to divido every amoont of money required to be drawn into two equal parts, and to draw a check upon euch bank for one-half of tbe amonnt re? quired. He wonld not be at liberty at any time to permit the amount in I one bank to exoeed tbe amonnt in tbe I other bank by a single dollar. The1 reasons now stated compel me to with? hold my approval from this Aot, anil to urge, with more than usual earnest? ness, upon the General Assembly tho very grave dangers attending the pro? posed manner of keeping tbe State funds. How names flicker oat and flash up again in the newspapers. Here oomes the St. Louis Republican with this bit of information: Koopmansohap ha<* oome to the front again, after a rather long obscurity among the awarming millions of China. He lately arrived in San Franoisoo direct from China, sfter an absence of over six months. His last voyage to China was made in tho interests of a Bio Janeiro com? pany, whioh desires to import Chinese laborers into Brazil. His object was frustrated by an unexpected event. Tbe vioeroy of the provinoe of Can? ton had promised to assist Koopman? sohap in getting all the coolies he wanted from the over-populated dis? trict, bat whan he arrived in Canton the vioeroy was dead, and a temporary rnler was in bis plaoe. The aoting viceroy was not willing to aid in run? ning Chinese ont of tbe country uutil there was a treaty with the Govern? ment of Brazil. So Koopmansohap returned, and is on his way to Brazil te effoot a treaty. When this formal alliance is concluded he will return to China to superintend the embarkation of tbe first installment of 10,000 coolies into the coffee and pepper regions of Brazil. It will be remem? bered that Koopmanachap nearly populated California with Chinese. He laid down tbe basket of chips he had pilfered, and looking hard at the nrebin who had been making e target of him by shooting at him with a "nigger killer," eaid: "Whar was yon raised, ohille?" "Sbucargo," said the yonng hoodlum. "In the Norf?" "Yetb. tbor." "I tort so. Soddern white folks' children wadduct do like det. Lemmo tell yon, honey, manners gwine to carry yon forder dsn money.

Great Sooth," published by tbe Ame? rican Publishing Company, of Hart? ford, Conn. The volume is a large royal octavo, of over 800 pages, printed on tinted paper, contains many maps, and nearly COO engravings, Tbe prices are, according to binding, 86, 88 and 810. It will be sold exclusively by subscription. The following extract from tbe descriptive ciroular, will give an excellent idea of the scope of the work: "In tho fall of 1872, the publishers of that most popular magazine, called Scribner's Monthly, resolved to publish a series of illustrated articles upon the resources aud the present social and political condition of the Southern Status. The task involved a journey of more than 25,000 miles, careful 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 Kiug, s journalist, for some time con? nected with the press of the oonntry, and most favorably known as a shrewd observer and a pleasing writer, end Mr. J. Wells Champney, an artist of unusual exoelleooe aud power in tbe production of characteristic sketches, undertook the task of visiting the South in the interest of the msgaxine, and departed for Texas. Thencefor? ward, for a year, they journeyed np and down the Southern States, meet? ing prominent people, and sketching with pen aud pencil the ealient pbssea of life in the 'Sonny South.' "One of the most interesting fea? tures of the work of collecting the ma? terial for 'The Great South' has been the cordial oo-operation offered tbe publishers and their reprosontatlfee by Southern gentlemen of literary and politioal reputation. Letters have been received from all parte of the Southern States, eommunicating facts and views whioh no Northern observer or writer eonld resdily obtain by his unaided effort. These voluntary con? tributions have been of great service, especially as the libraries and com? mercial organizations of the section were largely destroyed or broken up by the rude maroh of the war. The best commeroial authorities in all the Southern centres of trade hare been consulted, and have generously given all the facta at their disposition. It is intended that the needs and possibili? ties of esoh of tbo Southern Statte shall be exposed in the fallest msnner, end the earnest help of theee promi? nent citizens has enabled tbe publish? ers to guarantee a fulfillment of that intention."
