C.^ THE SEWS ASD THE PAP. "TVe notice that during the debate on Friday Senator Smalls, of Beaufort, said that if the democrats would go down in the treasurer's oflice and look at the account* that have been paid to this JVeic* nnd Courier they would blush at their own journal." Now it does not matter much what Smalls says or Hop* not say, but such innuendoes have boon so often made of late that we here pnblicly defy any man to prove that this paper has ever asked for any state printing, or that it ever was paid for the work that it did do as much as would have been charged to private citizens tor similar work. That, we hope is a square answer to an indirect and evasive accusation." The above is from the Charleston Xetnx. We are of those who say and believe that the conservative citizens of this state have had cause to blush for their organ. And further, we #know that the conservative citizens have had cause to Diusn tor an tueir organs in the state. When an abuse exists so thoroughly known, so fully acknowledged, as the publishing of all the acts passed by the legislature of South Carolina in all the papers of the state at full prices, entailing on an impoverished state an expense aggregating over eighty thousand dollars in one year, we assert and insist that to accept such patronage from sugh officials amounts, in a conservative organ, to a condonement of the offence and a participation in the swindle. The acts thus published consisted mainly of acts incorporating fire companies, manufacturing companies, lotcries, churches, benevolent societies, the charters of towns, etc., and of other nets of interest only to particular localities. No person could fail to be struck with the folly of printing such stuff. Thry were ordered to be printed in newspapers for the purpose of subsidising and silencing the press of the state, and the plan succeeded. The course of every newspaper of the opposition was affected by the hope of obtaining so important an addition to its receipts. No one who has watched the state press for two years caD fail to see the fhefc. The assertion of the Neics that it charged only what it demands for like service from private parties is tcchni cally true, hut realty it is false. A private persons l>'lVing so large a job of, advertisil''. tiovo had it done e ... onc fo"rrth of the amount fklid for it by * ? suite. The average price of all the advertising in the daily Kews will not. reach three cents a line for each insertion. The New* published the acts last year in t hree editions, its daily, weekly and tri-weckly. The total in each occupied about 16,<;Q0 lines, which were only sot up once and then used in each edition. The cdst to the state at fifteen *ents per line amounted to about $7,f?00. Other state patronage swelled the bill of the Xrtcs to nearly if not quite ? 10.000. The Courier pot somewhat less The laws were published also in another daily, for which a bill is in for another Si >,000. Four weekly papers ?n Thnrleston presented bills for the same work, amounting in the rgrgreeate to $10,000 more. Fu'ly $3o.000 was thus wasted in Chailcston, end not one word of condemnation from the conservative organs. This patronage was given to the X.'Cs and Courier by the two clerks, Woodruff and Jones, the figure-heads of the 'KJredit Mohilier piiuting riug" which is now so loudly denounced by the conservative organ. This printing ring was as well known list year as this, but we dety the closest reader 01 1 he conservative organ to find it out! by a reperusal of its columns while it j hid this patronngi from the state. The republican pipers arc not nue* sarily iu the same catagory with the conservative papers in their relations 1 to this abuse. They could accept pat- j i ounce from their party without any implied or express,d agreement to give a <piuliiru (jtio, by silence or active support. It is proper enough that the laws should be published and it is proper enough that such publication ihould be given to supporters of the existing administration. Even here,! however, an abuse would he manifest! II care w as um i;i(st.u i?j num. me nuui- i bcr of papers ami to get it done at reanoable rates. The United StaUs! government has its laws published in two papers in every state for about three cents a line, aud papers are generally glad to get it. The pandering of the press to this abuse, the sharing in this plunder, has inflicted an altm st irreparable damage up >n the state. It has produccdju the minds of the leaders of the dominant party a carelessness of public opinion as expressed by conser vative org n? it has created in all minds a merited contempt of crrlreisoi u hieh has bc< n so cheaply s.ieuced iu the pas-, and has resulted in the bdiel that all that ts required to still these watch dogs is to throw them another hone to pick. Itts see the \amfi. The house on Fi iday adopted a resnln llor. to pay a'l j>cr.sons actually employe* as attaches oht side of the last reported f i the lioustf bn Thursday. That list gnv the name of thirty-three employes. Rep reseutavive Greene, of Beaufort, wante a list furnished to the state treasurer f that no certificates could be paid to an whose services were unathorized by th house.

No very important mca urcs have been perfected, but this do< not indicate c itirc idleness on the part* members. In the committees and in tl private conferences the big jobs arc b< ing considered, manipulated and beatc I infn .hmirt Lv tlus diverse interests. Every session experiences a faint an futile effort toward reducing the legisli tive expenses by cutting off some of tf innumerable employees of the lious We have never seen this result in goo hut hope that -eventually there will I success. In the senate and house it w: resolved that such employes as wei drawing pay from any other source wei to be cut off. The clerk of the house ri ported a list of thirty-three persons en ployed in the house. Among them v notice L. J. Smith, judiciary committc clerk, at six dollars per day, who is ah storekeeper at the penitentiary; Hug Kane is reported as a messenger at tlm dollars a day, who is sergeant at the pei itentiary. The modest list of thirtj three thfls reported is in reality very f: from the true number drawing pay froi the house. With a little trouble I coul give a list of twice that number who wi carry off pay certificates ranging from tw to six dollars a day each. A bill was introduced on Tuesda which will appropriate about one bur drcd and fifty thousand dollars to pay vs rious claims. Of course many mcritor: ous claims will be among thcui, but th bulk of the appropriation is to pay th certificates issued last session in excess c the appropriations for legislative expec scs. the bond question. As the Commercial has all along'prt dieted, the conversion bonds are not dea by any means. It is now gradually cor ceded that any satisfactory debt setth uient must make a provision for their ri tirement. The house tyll :ea ing all th bonus except the conversion bonds,'an Utterly repudiating the latter, has stoppc in the soy,ate. When it goes back to tli hon-jo, if it overdoes, its fratner will nt ". . t.' _i? I kiiijtv H. rivury c:iiN> vi tuu uuuuo ? Lc included in the scaling process, an the whole floating deht, including Pat ker's notes and the Blue llidgc scrip w. be taken care of in some shape. The administration feels that it niu! go into the fight next fall stripped of a such encumbrances. Civil rights resolutions have passe both branches, requesting our rcprcsei tatives and instructing our senators t vote for Sumner's bill. COLORED PRINTERS. On Friday Mr. Rowley introduced resolution into the house to have a com niit tec of five appointed to enquire int the alleged discrimination against colore printers in the office of the Kepublica I Yin ting company. It was very justl argued that a company supported s lavishly by the party should be the las to give countenance to the exclusion c colored printers from its office. THE cmEE Jl STICK. A titue has not yet been fixed for th election of a chief justice of the suprcm court. Several candidates arc spoken ol but it is generally thought that the pre? cut incumbent will he re-elected. T. J .uacKev is a candidate. Hon. N. R. Myers has introduced hi bill to incorporate an agricultural am mechanical society for Beaufort count) which has been favorably reported on b the committee. Branson will be incorporated tliis sea sion. In regard to Port Royal we hav as vet heard nothing. The general assembly met in joint con vontion on Friday and re-elected Mi MeKinlcy register nfmen>c conveyane for Charleston. At a republican caucu held the night before to select a eandi date for the position, the Rev. K. .1 Adams, of Charleston was a catididat against MeKinlcy. Finding that he wa beaten he made a speech in which h said that he had been approached by friend and told that if he gave $"?00 h could be assured of the support of hi excellency the governor. On the ncs day Senator Smalls and others addrosc a letter to Rev. Mr. Adams demnndin the name of the pcrsou thus offering o the part of the governor to secure Adam nomination for the suiu of Th reverend gentleman at once responding named the Hon. J. i>. Hobertsot. c Beaufort county, as the person who offer e?l the ?.>oO on the part of his excellency A letter was then addressed to Mr. Hob ertson rcque>tine an ex plana tion of th transaction. That gentleman at one replied, emphatically ^denying that lv ever made such an offer to the reverent candidate. The correspondence is pub li;-hed in full in the. U.n'on- IFemhL Si here is another of those things which m fellow can fiu J out, you know. H wil ever remain au interesting question o - I1" veracity between two reverend gentle men. 1 The reporter of the Newt and Courier n was suspended from all the privileges c usually accorded the press in the senate. flis offence consisted in intimating that J a bill to regulate freight charges on rnilo roads introduced by senator Dunn, was a y black mailing operation, e On Monday Tim Hurley gave notice of s a bill to appropriate two million six hun;t drcd and eighty-four thousand dollars d and^seventy-three cents for the purpose i- of redeeming all kinds of pay certificates, armed force warrants, contingent fund e orders, etc., that may be out. He want1. ed to make one job of it instead of doing d it piece meal. Tim is sarcastic. 7 m ? it-' Southern Debts. Mr. Morey, of Louisiana, introduced ltd his bill last week into the lower house ol congress which is entitled "a bill to ,0 strengthen the credit of the reconstructed n states and to afford themj financial relief. Tliis bill provides for the issue ofUuitcd States bonds in exchange for state tonds on the basis of the exchange of a United States four per cent, bond for a state seven per cent bond. The amount of the state bonds to be tiken ii?exchange 9" to be those issued prior to December 3P 31st, 1873, provided the amount does not exceed ten per cent, of the assessed 1C value of the property of the states for 13 the year Itw.}. la case the dent 01 aDy :n state exceeds that aiuount it shall first be reduced within that amount. At the 'd end of five years from the issue of the a' bonds by tho United States, the states IC shall begin to pay eight per cent, per annum of the amount of the bonds issued for such state indebtedness by the Uuited )C States, and shall so continue to do until ls the amount received shall reimburse the rc United Stated for money paid on account r0 of such state, to be applied, first, to pay e- the current interest; second to pay the back interest; third, to provide a sinking fund for tho redemption of the bonds. :c The president is to appoint five couimis!? sioncrs to carry out the provisions of the h bill, and the states are to adopt constitu;e tional amendments accepting all tho provisions of the bill, and declaring that no f increase of the debt of the states shall be ir made, without the conscut of congress, until the bonds shall be entirely pal'J. d Should this bill become a law it would 11 carry joy to the hearts of holders of South0 crn States bonds, as well as-to tho tax payers of the states, for it would efTectuy ally prevent the increase ol their bonded debts for a long time. k" ? 1 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. c The Prc.-ident's message opens by a c reference to the financial crisis, the ,f (J ranger s movement and the Virginius [. ! matter, which, it says are in course of !>i>rrrw iMt'.nn otwl lil-nhr 4a !./> nttiifiol.li' unrl i ,v(.w..mivu, uuu MIVUI^ iv uu aunv/uui; tmu honorably arranged. It refers to the Vienna exposition, which was creditable to the artisans of the United States; to . the reception of the Western ambassadors by the Emperor of China, and to the I* need of further legislation to suppress >. the infamous coolie trade. ^ The President recommends a commission for the purpose of auditing and lC determining the amount to be paid for d losses caused by the Confederate privad tecrs; refers to the mixed commission for determining claims between British 1 subjects and American citizens, and asks for an appropriation to pav the amount H of decisions against the United States, d It also recommends a law creating a r_ special court of three judges to hoar and .. determine all claims of aliens against the United States arising out acts committed against their persons and property during ?t the insurrection. It asks the decision of j] Congress on the subject of the action of Ottoman and Egyptian government relieving foreign consuls of judicial powers. (1 The President transmits the application i- of the republic of Santo Ponnngo, that o the United States shall exercise a protectorate over that republic. The message discusses at some length the question of the right of expatriation, particularly a as to citizens of the United States residing permanently abroad with their farailies, and suggests legislation on tho sub0 jcc:. It refers to the establishment of a d republic in Spain, and to the efforts of n the new government to abolish slavery in all its dominion, which efforts are oppos-N ed by the reactionary slaveholders of 0 Cuba, who are vainly striving to stop t the march of civilization. This baleful ,f?j influence has thus aided in defeating the efforts of all liberal minded men in Spain to abolish slavery in Cuba, and in presenting the proposed reform in that e island in the interest ot humanity, ot c I civilization, and of prepress. It was to [ j be hoped that that evil influence uiight ' ; be soon averted. In reference to the capture of the . Yirpinius. and to the inhuman and illegal murder of fifty three of her passengers s and crew, he says that the Spanish Gov' eminent had recognized the justice of '' his demand, and had arranged for the . immediate delivery of the vessel, and for y the surrender of the survivors of the passengers and crew, and for a salute to j the flag, and for proceedings looking to '* the punishment of those who may be c proved to have boon guilty of illegal nets ! of violence toward citizens of the United Mates, ami aiso, towards lnucmniiving I those who may he shown to he entitled ' 1 to indemnity. The correspondence on c ' the subject had been conducted in cipher s and by cable, and was therefore not in a j condition to he submitted to Congress. The President expresses his conviction that the expense of African slavery in c Cuba. i? a principal cause of the latncntr.j; hie condition of the island, and docs not 0 doubt that Congress shares his hopes : that it will soon he made to disappear a and that peace and prosperity will follow e ! its abolition* s | He suggests two constitutional amendk 1 mcnts?one to authorize the President . to approve so much of any measure of 1 Congress as his judgment may dictate, g I without approving the whole, and the n other to provide that when an extra 8 ' session of Congress is convened hy ex-, 1 cutive proclamation, legislation shall oe 0 confined to such subjects as the Kxccug tive may hrinir before Congress from time if, to time in writine. i He recommends the erection at Washington ot suitable buildings for cabimt ! obicers and for such officials as now rcI ceive commutation lor quarters; thus e J setting an example to the States which R may induce them to erect buildings for their senators. ^ The message goes very fully into tho 1 j financial question and declares that the - j country never can have permanent pros0 ferity until specie payments shall bo ! reached. He rcoommends legislation , j prohibiting national banks from paying ' I interest on deposits and forcing them i'i into resumption, if Crtly iu legal tender * ' notes.- Hfc suggests the question whether hanking should not be made free, but securing all the present safeguards to _ bill holders. J He notices the improvement in Amcr'can ship building during the past year, and hopes for a continuance of it In regard to the problem of cheap transportation he refers to the Erie and Illinois canals, and suggests whether jt ^ would not be wise statesmanship to pledge ? to the States that own those canals that if they will enlarge them the general government will look after and keep in t: navigable condition the great public highways with which those canals conr.eot, to-wit: The Hudson river, the St. j Clair flats, and the Illinois and Mississp- i?> pi rivers. ? He recommends a government explora- * tion of the upper Amazon river, and its ,fc tributaries; A revision and codification of the tariff Laws, and the opening of more merits; endorses the recommendation of the postmaster-general for the ?< establishment of postofficc savings de- ^ positnries, and invites the consideration of Congress to tho proposition for a ; postal telegraphHe recommends legislation jn regard C to the judical nrocccdiugs in Utah, and, also, in regard to the bankruptcy law, which he considers as productive of more evil then good. If not totally repealed, it should be modified in those portions providing for involuntary bankruptcy? f those portions should be repealed. ? He calls attention to the immense aggregate of claims against the government, many of them growing out of the rebellion, and not a few of them fabricated and supported by false testimony, lie recommends that persons having claims be required to present them at an early period, and that the personal at- I j tendance of witnesses be required by the Court of Claims. In regard to the Indian question, he recommends a territorial form of govern- G ment for the Indian Territory, llo .also recommends such action as will permit the settlement of a body of Russian t colonists on the public lauds, and endorscs the proposition for a census in 1875. He eulogizes the Washington board of public works, and speaks of the great improvement of Ihc city under the operations of the board. He recommends a liberal policy on the part of Congress in ^ defraying a part of the expenses, and suggests the establishment here of a national university. J He recommends the passage of an enabling net for the admission of Colorado as a State, ard suggests the opening of a canal, for tho purpose of irrigation, |i] from the eastern slopo of the Rocky mountains to tl e Missouri river. lu conclusion, he renews his recommendation for general amnesty, and ays: There arc a number of citizens yet labor- -J ing under disabilities, very small, but cnougu to *eep vp a constant irritation. There can be no possible danger to the tt government in restoring them to e!r"'bi!.- Vi ty to hold office; and suggests th<> enact-1 mcnt of a law better to secure the civil J c _:_l. p ..j? _i i i u?.
