C. * Where the Fanlt Lie*. I In another column we publish a letter written by one of the stsuncbest radicals 1 in the state, an earnest worker in the 1 last election for the present state govern- ? iuent. In placing the blame of the ex- f travagances Doted upon the legislature 1 is doubtless right. But we think that f an administration earnestly desirous of 1 reform could exercise a vast influence ( upon the members. But like all other 1 habits example is contagions and the * recklessness of one branch of the government has produced its effect on all the others. 3 A Hard Times Lesson. e (j The money stringency all over the country has had the effect of setting some of the more thoughtful to philosophising. Some one has written that the waste of j* one American would support two French ^ families. Certa:n it is that in small matter# we everywhere see that Americans ^ are wasteful. Doubtless the present panic will cause a great many to reform * in this regard. Poor * 'PaV'bills at the dry goods and millinery establishments will be materially curtailed, even if Miss Blue-blood cannot out do Miss Shoddy in 8 the matter of exhibiting fine dresses during sermon time. Some of these girls? ? and for that matter many who are not girls?should wander back a hundred * years, and see how our old respectable 1 grand-parents used to do, when every- * thing in the way of clothing cost much 0 less than at this time. A few lessons 0 an/] fvnooliftr nnnvoninnflv # UJ j;iuucuv/c aim w?>vu>vu?v > interspersed with pianos and furbe'ows ? wou'd not hurt. The times demand it. " Study the difference between what is ne- 0 cessary and what is agreeable. It will 1 beat all to pieces any examples in Green- 0 leafs arithmetic; work out an unknown c ' A quautity that would put algebra to the rear. ? m 8 The Best Way, The New York Financier, in discuss- f ing the South Carolina debt, comes to ? about the conclusion as that expressed _j several weeks ago in the Commercial viz: that the scaling scheme open to the 0 objection that a state which refuses to n keep the old contract will probably break n the new one. and therefore the new bonds t will be worth in the market no more than q the old ones. Scaling is after all, only a j milder form of repudation. If there are g nV illegal bonds, let it be demonstrated before a court It is a question of law and a fact which the legislature cannot decide, jj We agrep with the conclusions of the a following paragraph from the Fidancier. a There mav be a eradual relief from ?i the burden ot debt; the burden of repudiation lasts as long as written records. 0 Propositions tor "scaling" have already o been made in the South Carolina Legislature, but while wo are bound to say 8( again that if any of the Southern Stntcs do openly throw off the worst of their c debt they are morally entitled to a leni- e ent judgment under the circumstances- a our conviction still is that their best in- ]c terests forbid it. For South Carolina, ? the wiser course may be to cultivate her ' resources, continue to owe what she can- T not pay, redoce ber expenditures to the tl lowest, and wait for immigration and prosperity. ^ __ C Sewing machines have made, and ruined many a man. The last case of tj ruin in this line is that of Ely T. Blake d President ot the mercantile National d Bank of New York. This time however, d it was a steel sewing machine, and the g money he stole is said to have been ad- $ vanced to the Domestic Sewing machine n company. Failure from over confidence b ?- ' in Domestic Sewine machines is a thine that occurs but few times in many moons. w Such scruples seldom betray auy man's C) peace. . t| A Plucky Ship Master. ^ On the 23d of October Capt. Obed 0 Baxter, of South Dennis, of the bnrkentine New England, stepped into the of- n fioe of the consignee of his cargo five c< thousand bags of coffee, from llio Janei- a ro, and announced that his vessel was at the wharf. He had taken no steam, but sailed over the bar and up the river, and a of course, as usual on sucn occasions, his vessel was not telegraphed from the Ba* tl lire (the tow bout couipauy and the Ba- ? lize telegraph working together, and no vfsspls bfino- renortnd excent those that take rteaui). He saved some seven bun- It dml dollars by tbu course pursued. The tl ship Adouia, Davis master, from Liver- ? pool, with stilt, also sailed up at the same ,,, time aud save! a larger amount.?New Orleans paper. 11 Such items as this show better than columns of description the advantages of ours over other southern ports. This twelve foot schooner could have sailed into hall a dozen creeks and plantation landings on our bay. The largest ship j that floats the ocean can sail to her dock in Port Royal without ruuning any ri.-k at all. . t( ^ n ?We would advise our friends who a' have not learned the art of closing doors b after them, to be careful now that cold w weather has set in, or they may suffer I for their dereliction iu this respect It tr has been decided that leaving a door )D open is a technical assault, as it involves bodily injury?cold, ooughs and snt ezes, and that a kick administered to such a cue would be an act of self-defense. se THE TREASty&EB* BEPOKT. o the Editor of the Commercial: Columbia, Nov. 21,1873. The present legislature came into pow r with many promises of retrenchment nd reform. We bare no donbt but that he prominent members of it were sure hat under no circumstances need they ear making so bad a record as those just eing relegated to private life. There rere doubtless struggles made to take ome step in the path of reform. How ar these struggles resulted In good to he tax payers we are trying to discover wm the treasurer's report. In the first place taxes were last year hree mills more than any year of the irevious administration and were five nills more than the average yearly tax evy under the Scott regime. Without comment, let me note a few if the items of expense reported by the iresent treasurer. Printiug paid for, $364,417.92; printng claims due and unpaid; $100,589.63; otal for printing for one year $465,006.i3. Besides this amount appropriation lave just been passed, $75,000 for an mmigration report; 25,000 for books for he collection of taxas; $25,000 for print* ng decisions of the supreme court; $50,KX) for the printing of the extra session; otal for printing up to the present time, (640,006.92. Next take the legislative expenses for 872-73. Amount paid, $259,981.30; lueand unpaid, $1,861; total, $260,842.10. Besides this a bill has been presentid for appropriating ^$100,000 more for leficiencies of the legislature, which it is aid does not nearly cover the amount of ertificates out for that session. It is afe, however, to assume that the $100,>00 is out in some shape or it would not >e demanded. Thus we may put the >rinting paid, unpaid and ordered at 1640,005.92. aud the legislative expenses >aid,and unpaid, at 9360,842.30; a grand otal of $1,000,849.22. This sum is learly equal to tlie whole amount collect >y taxation in the last year of Scott's idministration. The receipts by the state treasurer are eportcd at 81,719,728.37; all of which tas been disbursed according to approbations, nnd there remains due and inpaid for want of funds under approbations, $829,527.27; a total expense " as a l? it. ? a. ? ..1 if ?li,&4y,ZOO.O'i lor me urst uscai year if this administration. ' Id this immeose amount it will be oberved that there are only two items for aterest. One of them is for $7,672 paid n the agricultural college bonds, and he other is a somewhat mysterious item f $4,440 payment of interest on land omurission bonds; a total payment of inerest of only $12,112. There was also aid of deficiencies of previous year $90,15 for schools; $21,898.30 for legislative xpenses of 1870-71-72. The total exlense then of this first year of the reorined republican party of South Caroliia, making the above deductions, is $2,14,971. In 1868 the legislature spent $130,000 n itself, and the state tax was 7} mills; ow it spend $360,842 and the tax is 12 dills. The extravagance of 1868, caused he organization of the ku kiux klan. Jan we afford now to say with Boss 'weed to the people "what are you oing to do about it." The state of Ohio collects a state tax mounting to over twenty millions of doltrs or more than ten times our highest mount, and yet the legislative expenses re set down ar no more than one-tenth hat which ours costs. The proportion f expenditure to means is a hundred to ne against us. Each vear these two drains upon the tnte have become more and more. It in be shown that the paid and unpaid xpenses of the legislature And the paid nd unpaid printing claims have swal>wed up nearly the whole amount raised om taxation during the past five years, he other expenses had to be met by he sale of bonds. Now no administration ought to be eld entirely responsible for this. Mr. .'ardozo cannot in justice be blamed for aving paid out money on appropriaons. lie is an executive officer, and oes as he is ordered. Governor Moses id not contract these printing bills, nor id he hire all the employees whose wa* es go to swell the enormous sum of 300,843, for legislative exposes. He lay be blamed for not vetoing the bills, ut it is certain that if he had done so it ould have been ineffectual, so that he uuld have beateu his enemies aud joled his Jfricnds, without benefiting be state. The other state officers formig what is called the administration avc even less to do with this particular xtravagance. So that it 6eems clear that o administration, not the purest in the mntry, unless backed up by an honest nd economical legislature, could have revented the state of things shown bove. Let the people cease then talking about Pnliirnhia rimr. Reform should be in with the people at home. Let them ;nd good, honest intelligent men to the gislature and it will be better than if ?ey elected the purest man and the reatcst statesman in the country to be overnor and had secured for treasurer ic safest financier of the world. * # ? # A CABD. Beaufort, S. C-, Nov. 11, 1873. 0 the Editor of the Commercial: At considerable talk ba3 arisen in the >wn of Beaufort, in consequence of my jrnoval as engrossing clerk of the sente, and as au erroueous statement has cen circulated by the senator of this >unty, as to the cause of such removal, ask, in order to set the matter in ite ue light before the public, a small spate 1 your issue, for a plain statement of eta. The senator alleges that at the last fssion of the legislature I employed a young man named Harrison Logan, to do some writing for me, for which I agreed to pay him two hundred dollars, and that I drew the money and ran away without paying him a cent. The facts of the case are:-I hired Harrison Logan at two dollars per day. He worked forty days, for which I placed eighty dollars into the hands of the secI rotary of state to be paid by him to Lo[ gan. The secretary would confer a favor by answering as to the truth of the mat* ter herein contained. A. C. Sammis. Port Moyal Navy Yard. In the Senate on Tuesday, Nov. 25, Senator Smalls, of Beaufort, introduced the following important resolution, pertaining to the establishment of a navy yard at Port Royal: While the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina would avoid all interference with the action of the Federal government in its foreign relations, ana, in common with the whole country, rely with entire confidence upon the quiet resolution of the President to maintain the honor and interests of the nation, yet the critical condition of our foreign relations rendering war a possibility makes it not inappropriate in this Genera] Assembly to express an opinion upou II puuuy WIIIUii euvu a nai luigut render necessary for the protection of the South ; therefore be it RaolveA, That in the opinion of this 1 General Assembly the oondition of the 1 country makes it a matter of urgent ( importance that a navy yard be establish* ed at some convenient and fit point upon ' the south Atlantic ooast, and that in ' their opinion the harbor of Port Royal is eminently suited as the location for 1 such navy yard. Resolved, Thafras the establishment of a naval depot at such a point would ren- ' der it important in peace and essential 1 in war to maintain certain and speedy ( connection with the interior, especially with the great supply producing section of the West, it would be, in the opinion ' of this General Assembly, a wise and patriotic policy on the part of the national government to aid, either by subscription, guarantee of bonds or grant of public lands, and railroad enterprise which would connect directly the south Atlantic coast from ^ Wilmington to 1 Brunswick with the West at Chicago, < Cincinnati, Louisville or Toledo. Resolved, That in aiding and encouraging such an enterprise and establishing such naval depot, the national govern- j ment would be contributing in a practical and constitutional manner to relieve the ' menetary distress and the want of occu- ( pation for honest industry which are now affecting the South in common with the whole country. Resolved, That our senators and representatives in Coneress be reauestea to countenance and aid the State in securing these important objects. Resolved, That be appointed a committee to memorialize Congress upon this subject, and that his Excellency the Governor be requested to lend any aid jn his power to promote the object of these resolutions. The Peace Settlement. i Washington, Nov. 29. The negotiations between the United ^States and Spain, with regard to the questions growing out of the capture of the Virginius, were brought to a conclusion to day, Secretary-Fish and Admiral Polo having agreed upon and signed a protocol, which the latter soon afler tel- i egraphed to his government. As con- i Aiding statements have appeared in the < newspapers regaining the intelligence received last night and also to-day, it ca i now be positively stated that the terms are substantially as follows: First: The immediate delivery to the United States of the ship Virginius and all the surviving passengers and crew. Second A salute to our Aag on the 25th of December next unless in the ^meantime Spain shall satisfy the United States that the American Aag was improperly borne on that vessel; and further, that she had no right to the American Aag or American papers. In this i event the salute is to be spontaneously withdrawn, and Spain is formally to dis i claim anv intentional indignity to the Aag in the acts committed bv Spain against the Virginius. Third: If it shall thus be shown that the Virginius had no right to cavry the 1 American tag and papers, the United ' States will institute proceedings agninst ' the vessel and the surviving parties who have violated the laws of the United 1 States; and Spain guarantees to institute proceedings against any of her authorities who may have violated either law or treaty stipulations. Fourth: The matter of reclamations for damages is reserved for future consideration. It is not believed that the Cuban authorities will surrender the Virginus. News Items. ?John 31.
