The PrintInar Swindle. The printing swindle and the legisla. ? tive swindle are, in fact, aoa ant! rhe Sanaa. The R^pnblican Piinting Company consists of the clerks of ihc two houses, and certain members of the legislature. We were shown by a person once connected with business, a list of senators who had received dividends in a c rtain year. Th< re were thirteen of them, and they were charged with suras varying from $1, ( 5 )0 to So.OO i each. These sums were paid in several ways. One bought a pair of horses and gave an order, on the company for the amount; another ordered law books from New York and paid for tbem with a draft on the com' - jianj ;-ome took cash, and so it went. ? .. We believe that every prominent rey vv .publican senatof and representative j r has shared, more or less, in this plun' dor. Most of the conservatives are also kept quiet by giving patronage to Iht ir county papei s, and by little per quisites in the shape of initial paper supplied in any quantify to members, gold pens, knives, patent i*lock9, ink stands, etc. These things are paid for either by fraudulent printing bills, or by joint pay certificates for contingent expeuses. The two clerks are necessary for either of these modes, and the merabeis are necessarily very much attached to them. We have obtained from several state treasurers the amount paid in their respective staus for printing. Let us compare them with what it costs South Carolina. IOWA. 1>kh Moinks, IoWA, Sept. to. '% .

The aggregate amount paid for printing in these four states is S347,145.95 This is actually less than the printing bi'ls made up for South Carolina in 1873. The aggregate population of tlu se four states is 8,812.701, while the population of South Carolina is 7<)5,000 ; ? > that we pay for public printing in the proportion of twelve to one.

Even here auotlier comparison may be made against us. Maryland with a population of 780,891, has a taxable value of $425,835,018, or two and a quarter t'mes more ability to pay than we. It is only by such comparisons as those that the enormity of the swiudle is made apparent. We commend these tiguros to Treasurer Cardozo. He is the one to break up this ring. What we ask ofhiru is to give us the vouchers upon which he paid out over two hundred thousand dal'ars last year, while he left the asylums, without fuuds and the pub lie officers with their salarits dreadfully in arrears. Reform the Conservatives. The conservative members of the general assembly number i!7; 8 in the senate and 19 in the 1hhm\ It. is true that they have a rather dl-couraging time of it, but we think they lack industry and ability. They fall too easily into a state of hopeless indifference to what is done, an 1 appear to be humbugged without much difficulty by their more cunning opponents-. In the senate their number is large enough to make % show, and it is not to their credit that they are found voting unanimously for the si Iy, transparent deception culled a "settlement'' of the public d.'bt. Nut a radical in either house voted or it with any thought that it was a sci.lciucut, or that it was likely to be accepted by the creditors ofthestate. It was nothing in the world but a political dodge, b by which Governor Moses was to be rew elected. Yet these conservative senators ' swallowed tho thing whole. Let tho | taxpayers convention, when it assembles, ! resolve to ffcnd a better class of conservatives to the general assembly. TV Taxpayers' Convention. The members of the Executive Committee of the Taxpayers' Convention are requested to meet at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce in Charleston on Tuesday, 13th day of .January', instant* at 12 M , for the purpose of consulting upon the proposal of the Chamber of Commerce, that the Convention be reassembled "to take into consideration the present condition of the Taxpayers of the State," and also a proposition to enlarge the numbers of the said Convention. The following gentlemen compose TILE EXECUTIVE COMMUTES: 1. James Chcnut, 10. William Wallace, 2. JuliiiS'jii llugond, 11. R. L. McCaiiKliriti, a. Tin.ma.- V. Simon*, 12. T. .1. Unmluyn, 4. C. W.

On Friday last Seuor Castefar, president of the Spanish republic, rend his I i message to the Cortc? giving a hopeful 1 account of the condition of the nation. ^ : Several votes were taken, all resulting i ; adverse to the Cast el la r government. (.Jen. l'avia, who is a friend of Castcllar j thereupon occupied the palace of Cortes i and other public buildings with a force ; of fourteen thousand troops. He dis- ' j solved the Cortes and summoned the most cmincut men of all parties, including members of the present government, ; only excepting Carlists and Intransigen- : ; tes, to form a new government. Sagosta ' was named president. The Delegates. If the Taxpayers convention is to amount to anything the people must take | an interest in it. The delegates should ! not be selt-con-tituted. Such conventions f have met often enough to resolve and adjourn. Kvery such failure gives renewed audacity to the professional poli' ticians who run this state for their own benifit. They are shrewd enough to see through any sham convention. If the time is not yet ripe for a real, earnest effort, the convention had better not tucct. Don't Overpay Your Taxes. Remember that those who paid the two mill tax last year, levied without authority hut year by the county commissioners, are entitled to have it deducted out of their taxes for this year. Don't forget to dcuia'd it wheu you come to ! pay your taxes. The Collection of Taxes It is now thought that the auditor will ; he unable to complete hisduplicate before ! the 15th inst., and consequently the I treasurer cannot begin to collect the 1 taxes until after that date. The auditor has several mou at work helping hitn, and is doing all in his power to hurry up the work. According to law the penalty for nonpayment of taxes should be added on and after the 15th of January. As the treas urer cannot receive the taxes, even if tendered, until the duplicate isconiplote, there will have to he an order issued to abate the penalty until some other day. We are authorized by the treasurer to state that due notice will be given of the points and times at which he will receive taxes. He will probably bo ready at some day between Jatiu.iry 15 and Fcbuary 1. The X. Y. Tribune. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the New York Tribune in another column. We think it the best paper in the world. If any one wishes to subscribo for it, we will send to him a copy of the Weekly Tribune and the Commercial one year, for S3* Resignation of President Jackson The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday savs tint on Thursday last President (Joorge T. Jackson, of the Port lvoyal Railroad, called a meeting of the executive committee of the direction and formally tendered his resignation as president of the road, such resignation t j take effect immediately, if the committee so ! desired, hut in any event by the 14th of the present month. The committee re; ceived the resignation as information, j but took no action in the matter. fcSajr*Pnrt ltoyal is attracting attention i in all parts of the west.

" ' Pleasant Xews for the Printing Ring. ' The Washington correspondence of | tiir> \"f\v V.ul I'l'iiim.

The arrival at this famous harbor of the first of a line of steamers from Liver- ( pool; affords an opportunity for our im I porters and wholesale merchants which t should not be allowed to pass uniuiprov- ' ed. The line differs from other attempts at I the direct trade with England so much ! desired in the South, in a few points not I clearly understood among our merchants. . In the first place, the steamers do not . depend altogether 011 their freights via Port Royal. They run to New Orleans, and touch at Port Royal to land and receive freights and coal. Four thousand tons of coal passed through Atlanta within the last few weeks for their use. Thus their freights nrc lower than could possibly be afforded if they ran ojily to and ( from a new place which has its business to make. Next, there are no charges for wharfage or drayagc at. Port Royal. The steamers load directly into thocare. after making the usual entry at the Custom | House. Freight thus delivered may be r reived by through fr ight cars in Atlanta in twenty-four hours* via the Port Royal and Georgia Railroads. What these charges may amount to is illustrated in the case of a large ship load of cotton ties which was imported for Augusta and Savannah. The ship drew too much water to go to Savannah until she had been lightened by the delivering of a part of her cargo at Port ltoyal. Rut she cauie alongside the railroad wharf at Port Royal, at nearly low tide, and discharged the portion of her cargo in- , tended lor Augusta directly into the cars -and then proceeded to Savannah. It i has been stated, and not contradicted to ;: our knowledge, that the Augusta portion i: of her cargo cost no more after paying freight over one hundred miles of railroad ? than did the Savannah portion delivered 1 at her wharves, after paying all local 1 charges. It is difficult to direct the current of ' trade into new channels. Our met chants ' in the interior, long accustomed to import through New York. Charleston or J Savannah merchant-, are shy of sotting up as importers themselves, although it | is evident that to do so successfully will [ be to put into their own pockets the profits now paid to the importers at our ( seaports. Again ail oilier Southern seaports are i limited in the size and draught of ves el i frequenting them by tho depth of water which may he brought to them. How- i ever, there ts uo such limit at Port Royal It is the only first-class Atlantic port South of Cape Huttcras. iuto which any < vessel yet built may enter. Rut freights > and insurance rates arc less on large vessels, rating A 1, than on smaller ones, 1 thus offering another saving. Port Royal has to fight its way into ' notice and importance in spite of the opposition,of the well known cities of ' Charleston niidSuvannnh, lying on cither sdeofit. The local interests of those cities, opposed and rivals in all else, nrc , interested i:t keeping down and throwing discredit upon the commercial value , of any intermediate port however great may he its uatural advantages. The city ol'Savannuh might, with great advantage to her merchants, use Port Royal for ships of too great draught to come to her wharves, precisely as Leith i is the seaport of Edinburgh. The entrance to Port Royal is hut eleven miles from the entrance to Tyboe Roads, and the pilots and steam tugs of one place ' could also he those of the oilier. Why 1 not ? Rut the main point for the interior ' cities of the South and Southwest to con- 1 sider is, how can their grain and cotton 1 be got to market in the least lime and 1 for the least uioncy, and how can they ( obtain in return those articles of foreign i production which they need for eoiisump , tion at the least expense &nd in the , shortest time. , May not this problem find its solution , at Port Royal, and is it not worth while i for the merchants of St. Louis, Memphis, i Nashville, Atlanta, and other cities lying | near the great routes of interior railroad i communication with the Southern sen- I ports to look into the matter??Atlanta Courttiiition.
