SOMETHING WE WANT TO SEE.
* * Wo have received the report of the
supervisor of the public printing of the
state or i/nio, tnaoe w toe m>?eruui,
and sent in with his message to the
legislature in 1873.
It may be well to state that since the
organization of the state in 1868 to the
pr?eenttime, no report in detail of the
enormous amounts of printing paid for
by this state has ever been m ide public.
From the very beginning it has
been a very leech upon the state treasury,
bnt we only know its enormity by
the gross amounts appropriated.
A document similar to this Ohio report
is some thing we would greatly
like to see. The materials for its preparation
roust be in existence somewhere.
Mr. Gardozo could help us to
it if he chose. He pays the printing
bills and must have the vouchers.
A comparison between the two
states of Ohio and South Carolina will
be of use in contemplating the disparity
between their printing bills?Ours
between three and four hundred thousand
a year and hers less than sixtythree
thousand. We give a few figures
from the last census:
Population of Ohio, 2,695,260
Qrt r>. 7nA Kflfi
JL upuiamvu v? irv. vw,w?
Wealth of Ohio, $1.167,73i,697
Wealth of So. Ca. $183,913,337
Ohio having nearly live times as
many people as this state and being
over eight times as able to pay. Tet
Ohio gets all the printing needed for
her 2,695,260 citizens for less than
sixty-three thousand dollars, while the
705,606 people of Sooth Carolina pay
nearly four hundred thousand dollars
per year into the hands of the Republican
Printing Company.

Tire LUNATIC ASYLUM.
Oue of the paragraphs of Gov. Moh<
s' mtssage which we could heartily
assent to was that in which he commends
the course of Dr. Eosor, as superintendent
of the State Lunatic Asylum.
We visited the asylum in 1866,
just after the close of the war, and aft?
r making due allowance for the long
p> riod of distress through which the
state had passed, we could n >t refrain
from expressing surpiise at the squalid,
comfortless and careless appearance of
everything connected with the institu
won.
The rooms were little better than
duugcous, so far as comfort was concerned.
There were no conveniences
for fires for warmth; the only bath
room a filthy place .under on archway;
all the patients were herded together
at meals; iu fact, there wasa aad want
of care, aud a negrectot the commonest
provisions for the health and com
fort of the inmates. We did not again
see the establishment until a few
months ago. Everything in tha
meantime had been bettered. Hot
and cold water was conveniently
at hand on every floor?it bad
previously to be carried over the
^ eotire asylum in backets. Each ward
j1 kad its own dining room. Bath rooms
a
ntmmOUu- IHf mm m 11 MM*
I were also found in each ward. But c
best of all, the building was heated bj s
hot air registers from top to bottom, t
The place, too, was scrupulously clean h
and neat, and the poor inmates looked
happier and heartier for the change. o
All this great improvement is the v
work of the superintendent while la- b
boring under difficulties which would a
have disheartened a less energetic n
man. For his report plainly shows o
that the institution has suffered great- a
ly for lack of the funds which it had b
every right to demand from the treas- b
ury. The truth is the inmates could 1
not vote, and they were left in the
lurch. While there is money found to r
pay fraudulent printing bills in ad- I
vance, uone can be bad to pay appro- t
priations for such sacred charities. 1
Dr. Eortor paints vividly the embar- t
rassments, mortifications and sacrifices 1
suffered in keeping the asylnm open, a
The institution is now in debt to the t
amount of sixty thousand dollars. This c
debt ought to be paid off at once and
the appropriation for the support of
the asylnm for the current year should
be liberal and shonld be promptly paid. ^

only one of the state institutions which
have been creditably managed by the
republican party and we think the legislature
and the treasurer should do
what they can to foster it.
The Taxpayer's Convention.
The president and the executive com- (
roittee of the Taxpayers' convention have i
unanimously resolved that the conven- i
tion shall reassemble in Columbia, on 1
Tuesday, February 17, the day prior to
that on which the State Grange of the 1
Patrons of Husbandry will meet at the i
same place. The taxpayers in the several J
counties are requested to assemble in
public meeting on the first Monday in j
February and elect as many delegates to 1
the convention as their counties have j
members of the more numerous branch
of the General Assembly. This, with <
the former delegations, will give a con- i
vention of nearly two hundred members, ]
amongst whom will be found, we hope, !
trustly representatives of all the taxpay- ,
ing classes. <
INFORMATION I
For those having claims against the i
United States. <
We have already mentioned in our j
paper some days ago, that Mr. J. P. M ,
i v.nniniT nf (I-mhninvillp. S. C.. had been <
"I'K'-H . ? -
appointed a Bpecial commissioner of
claims for this state. Not knowing the
exact nature of his mission, and being
anxious to lay all useful information
before the public, we instructed our reporter
to see him and try to obtain from
him the wi.<hed-for information. Mr.
Epping cheerfully complied with the
request and the reporter learned from
hitu the following particulars:
The commissioner of claims appointed
under the act of Congress of March 3d,
1871 and May 11th, 1872 must not be
confounded with the court of claims in
Wa>hington. These two bodies have
quite distinct and different functions.
The court of claims has jurisdiction
over property taken from loyal citizens
by government officers and by them
turned over to the Treasury of the U. S.
This property, consisting principally of
cotton, having been sold the proceeds
were paid into the Treasury. The judge*
ment of the court of claims, up to a certain
amount, are, by provision of sntne,
paid upon presentation by the treasury
department; for larger amounts the
sanction of Congress must first be obtained.
The duty of the commissioner of claims
is to take cognizance of and investigate
all claims for stores and supplies furnished
or taken during the war for the use
of the Army and Navy, including the
use and loss of vessels or boats while
employed in the military or naval service
of the United States.
Awards by the commissioner of claims
are not paid by the treasury department
however until Congress makes an appropriation
for the amounts so awarded,
(which is done annually) and then the
treasury pays the different claimants.
All stores and supplies furnished or 1
taken for the use of the Array or Navy j
may l?e included in the claims to be pre- j
sented to the commissioner of claims at (
Washington, but no claims are allowed t
for theft or pillage by soldiers.
All legimate claims of citizens, wh > t
remained loyal adherents of the govern- 1 c
merit of the United States during the ?
war will be allowed, but it is for the 1
claimants to prove their loyalty. Loyalty ?
is a fact to be proved. Claims are uot i
unfrequently disallowed, not because c
there is r>o-itive proof of disloyalty, but 1
because the proof of loyalty is not satisfactory.
t
No claims are received or recognized f
for damage, destruction and loss of prop- 1
erty, nor for rent or occupation ot build- t
ings grounds or other real estate. 8
Houses, mules, cattle, hogs, wagons,
corn or other grain, hay and fodder, ^
meat or bacon, rails, fencing and stand- c
ing timber used for fuel or for other t
purposes, fields of grass or growing crips i:
used for forage, cotton used for hospital
beds, and the materials of buildings ?
thrown down, if such materials are ap- j
plied to military uses, fall within the a
' term "stores and supplies" and testi- ?
monv will be taken to prove the appro- ,]
priatiou or use; but .articles of luxury, y
! wines. liquors and cotton, (unless taken It
for hospital stores) are not included in P
the t riu "stores and supplies" for the j
use of the Army and Navy. They will g
not be flowed and should not be em- tl
braced! iV* cTanme, 81
Alf claims under $5000 which are to J'j
l?e brought before a special commissioner gl
luusr be submitted in the first instance u
to the commissioner of claims in Wash- &
ington. to be docketed and uumbered. 'J
When this is done and the number ^
ascertained, an application, (on a blank d<
which will be fUrnished by the special ai
omniissioner) nmst be made to the said <
pecial commissioner, to have testimony \
aken by him and time and place of
tearing arranged with hira. ,
Claimants whose claims amount to <
ver SoOOO uud not more tbau 310,000,
rho desire to have their testimony taken J
>y a special commissioner, must make
n application to that effect to the comaissioner
of claims in Washington to
btain leave. Claimants whose claims
re over $10,000. are compelled bylaw to
ring their proof and their witnesses
efore the commissioner of claims at
Yashington.
Mr. Epping further informed onr
eporter that Col. Parmele of Columbia
tad also been appointed a special comuissioner,
and although the appoint*
nent of each ran throughout the state,
hey would not interfere with each other
>y encroaching on what may be regarded
is their natural territorial jurisdiction,
here being more than work enough for
:ach one in his own section.

Ward Beochcr on the State of
Sonth Carolina?The Trne Remedy
for Her Condition?A Rally of Honest
Men of All Colors Against Scoundrels
of All Colors.
[From the Christian Union]
It would bo hard to find in the history
>f modern nations a uiore saddening or
lisgustful picture of the wreck and desoatiou
of society than is presented at this
moment in South Carolina; and tbeoonlition
of South Carolina, we suppose,
while perhaps more picturesquely miserable,
is but a type of the social wretchedness
and political shame which attach to
the other States of the far South. These
ire facts whieh concern not alone the
States immediately immersed in this civic
chaos. The nation is a partnership in
liseases and disgraces as well as in bone5ts
; with the suffering of ono member
ill the members suffer, and whatever is
i blot upon Texas or Georgia stains
through to Maine. The time has fully
irrived when all citizens who do not believe
that "our political system can atand
inythitig and defy anything," should
eondescend to cast some serious glances
jpon the hapless circumstances of our
friends aud brethren of the Southern
States. Of this we rnav be sure, that
the present apathy of Northern people
jpon this subject is largely conditioned
)n their igDorauce of the real state of the
ease ; ana the difficulty with us has been
that we could not all go to the South to
:o see for ourselves, arid that we could
not thoroughly confide in the testimony
>f those who did go. It is greatly to be
lesired that somo Northern men of real
ability and of unquestionable repute
imong us could pass through the Southern
lands and study the actual situation,
lud report to us in terms which we could
iltogether trust.
From this point of view, we deem it
in event to be particularly mentioned
that one such citizen, Mr. James S. Pike,
ui old abolitionist, a journalist of high
landing, and, by appointment of Presiient
Lincoln, late Minister of the United
States at the Hague, took the trouble
to go to South Carolina during the last
tession of its Legislature, and to spend
:wo months at its capital in the study of
men and things. lie has now made his
eport, and has embodied it in a little
[took, lust issued by the Appletons, and
tearing the gloomy title that stands at
[he head of this article. The book is eo
-inb 11 that it can be read in an evening,
jut it is large CMWgh to give to every
\mericau anxiou^eflcction for many a
lav. # #
Mr. Pike finds society in South Caroli1a
"bottom side up." The people of
jharactcr and culture, who, in a normal
md righteous state of affairs, would give
lirection and tone to public proceedings,
ire trampled under foot by a host of
roting barbarians?"the most ignorant
lemocracy that mankind ever saw"?
"the dregs of the population habilitated
in the robes of their intelligent predecesiors,
and asserting over them the rule of
ignorance and corruption through the
inexorable machinery of a majority of
number." Carpet-hag rule is at an end .
in South Carolina, for the carpet-baggers
were, on the outside at least, white men.
Even negroes tainted with white blood,
md so unfortunate as to have the noble
blackness of the ancestral complexion
lebilitated into some shade of yellow,
ire beginning to feel the contemptuous
lutagonism of the unmixed African, who
means to have things all his own way
[here. By sheer force of superior numbers
the iimnroninnd unnrineipled classes
have taken complete possesion of the
government of tnc State. And what
wrt of a government have they formed?
\ccordiug to the testimony of Mr. Pike,
;hc rule of South Carolina "should not
jc dignified with the name of a government.
It is the installation of a huge
lystcm of brigandage. The men wno
lave had it in control, are the picked
illains of the community. Thev are the
tighwaymeti of the State, tfhey are

ire uien who have studied and practiced
he art of legalized theft. They are in
Io sense different from, or better than,
he ujen who fill the prisons and peniteniarics
of the world. They are, in fact,
>" precisely that class, only wore daring
md audacious. The sole, base object is
o gorge the individual with public plu"ler.
Having done it, they turn around
ind buy immunity for their acts by sharny
their gains with the ignorant, pauprized,
besotted crowd who have chosen
hem to the stations they fill, and which
snable them thus toiob and plunder."
If it be asked how the corruptions of
he South Carolina government differ
rom the exceptional venality of certain
Northern Legislatures, this is Mr. Pike's
nswer: The latter, while less in effroncry
and in degree than the former, and
pringing from different causes, can also
'be promptly remedied by exposure and
?y an appeal to the intelligence and
irtueofthe constituency; in the other
ase. there is no sneh tribunal to appeal
o. It is a moral morass, in which there 1
s neither standing nor holding ground."
"So tainted is the atmosphere with
orruntion, so universally implicated is

i character are the ornaments, of society
t the capitnl, that there is no such thing
,s an influential local opinion to he <
irought against the scamps. They plun!er
and glory in it. "How did you get
our money? was a*ked of a prominent
'gislator and lobbyis*. I stole it, was the
irompt reply."
The impression made npon trs by Mr.
ike's report concerning the prostrate \
Itate iR that nothing can sate society
be-.e frjwr ntt r dissolution bnt the
perdv avheveuient of rule by the class- 1
s who onght always to rule. We regret (
iat Mr. Pike, in announcing an opinion
abstantially the same a? this, seems to
s to imply that these classes can be i
scertained by color. We know that
lis cannot be his real meaning, but the
>roe and value of his book are likely to
e abated by a certain indiscriminate
enunoiation of black men because they f,
re black, and an equally indiscriminate i
> c-\
;oiuir.fudation of white men beeau.se they
are white. What in wanted to save
Somth Carolina is not a rally of white
people against black people; hot of honest
men of all colore against scoundrels
of all colors.
We must not despir of the Republic,
even though that Republic be 8outh
Carolina, and even though it have become
a den of thieves. And the specific
advice which Mr. Pike gives as a suggestion
of remedy to the poop e of that state
is in the main wise and good. He advises
them to hold on to the faith that
the State can be redeemed; to make a
systematic effort to attract foreign immigration
to the State; to get rid of their
hereditary prejudices against strangers,
and of their old-time intolerance of opposing
opinions. It is not a war of races
or of colors that should be brought or:
bu a calm; resolute, patient increase ana
combination of the forces of good in society
against the forces of e i'. Society
needs to be turned right side up; and in
this effort letall men help who can, whatever
be their color.
The Withdrawal of Williams.
The president* on the 8th iust, with
drew the nomination of George H. Wi I
iams for chief justice of the supreme
oourt. Mr. Williams requested the president
to do so in a letter which is published,
in which he Bays: "Since my nomination
the floodgates of calumny have been
opened upon me; my abilities hare been
disparaged; my integrity brought in
question, and a public opinion advene to
my appointmeat has been created, which
might hereafter embarrass your administration,
and perhaps impair my usefulness
on the bench." He is confident
that a just public, when better informed,
will vindicate him from all the charges
against him.
