C. -j ANOTHER STATE HEARD KROM. ? AVe have received from Governor c t>_ .Wa? Rf Vow Tnrooo a statement of r 1WM4? v* Alv" wvimvji r: the amount paid for public printing by j. the state of New Jersey. In 1873 it amounted to S33,792.81, which includes all printing accounts except sums paid for advertising iu the news papers. * Let us compare the population and wealth of the two states of New Jersey 8 and South Carolina, and see how their 1 printing bills look side by side: 8 Population. Wealth. ( New Jersey, 906,096...8024,868,971 a So. Carolina, 705.606... 183,913 337 t So New Jersey has two hundred thousand more people than South Car- r olina and nearly three and a half times li as much wealth. But New Jersey pajs I only $33,792.81 for all the printing u needed to carry on her state govern- ? ment, while South Carolina paj s $331,- t 945 66, for what she has done?as near f as may be ten limes as much. With ( less thun one-third the ability to pay c we are called upon iur ieu uuji-d ? I much. t The other states are to follow. We j believe South Carolina will maiutain a her bad eminence iu this particular i over the worst robbed state in the I Union. i An Organization of Taxpayers. On the 17th of next month a taxpay- ( era convention will meet in Columbia. A great responsibility will rest upon 00 that body. If its members meet to indulge in tirades like that delivered in Georgia, by Toombs; if they meet to ^ pass a few windy resolutions and then f adjourn into aputhy again; if they feel too discouraged, too 'poor, too lazy to j engage in a hearty campaign against official corruption and official insolence, their meeting will be a serious c damage to the cause of good govern- ( meat. The effect of a cold <.r inefficient convention will be to give renewed confidence to the cunning rogues who di? vide the revenues of the state among j, themselves. Those who are now mem , bers of ihe convention ought to be cut- ^ ting out the work to be done. Of the (J first importance is a plan of organiza- g tion. We suggest somethiug like the following: y Let the convention resolve itself into * a league; let its member s be authorized j to form subordinate leagues in their g respective counties, any thirty taxpayers on real estate to constitute a subordinate league. The basis of these leagues should be a pledge to be signed by every member solemnly pledging 0 himself not to pay any state tax until | he has been reltased from the promise by the central league; aud further, ^ that he will not buy any property sold j for taxes at a tax sale, and that he V will use all lawful means to convince ( those not members that it is inexpedient for them to pay taxes or buy at I tax sales. All this should be done j! openly. No oaths, grips, signs or passwords. Each man should be made to ^ * feel that he is engaged in a patriotic effort to free himself and his state from ,1 a horde of dispicable tyrants. It should be made so universal that it would be dishonorable aud shameful s not to have taken the pledge. If even one half of the real estate g owners of the state could be brought ~ to sign such a pledge as that, it would be enough. The moral influence would t do the work with the rest. There c would be no ru h to pay taxes, even among the inert the cowardly and the ( unfriendly. For even the man who i ^ has gained a fortune by stealing in Co- 11 lumbia does not like to pay taxes any better than the honest toiler. When ^ > the treasurer advertised the delinquent list, instead of its embracing as it now does only the widow, the orphan, the j embarrassed, the ignorant and the care- ? less, it would show every real estate owner in the county. When the day ^ of sale comes let all be present. The j most shameless appointee of a shame- n r less administration would quail before j k such an assemblage, and the heartless . I speculator who should feel inclined to n buy property at that sale would come j W to the conclusion that the climate was ^ & unsuitable to his constitution. The ^ SR delinquent land wouid probably be bid t I in Dy me Biaie, ana no taxis com i ue s again assessed upon it. In the face of t ?, such a determined people the robbers > would "fold their tents like the Arabs, ! > ' and as silently steal away." j Unless some plan of the kind is r adopted to prevent the annual filling ! of the coffers in Columbia, no reform is j possible. As long as two millions a v year are sent there by the taxpayers to i be divided, the same parties will be on \ hand to take it. j s T County and municipal taxes might j ^ be paid. The proper expenditure of j. these can be watched, and in a great c } measure controlled, aud the continuance of the fuuctione of local govern-I 1 ment is necessary to secure our com- j. fort and the good order of tbe commuL nity. But the state goverument is l! simply a nuisance. It would be a W blessing if it ceased. b y v-y. - ?IMPORTANT BOND DECISION. A recent decision of the Supreme ? ourt of ?he United States in the Marcy ?se,|if correctly reported, will give a good eal of comfort to the holders of "irrcglar" issue ofbonds, such, for instance, * 3 our "conversion" bonds. The case i1 ras one in which a question was raised s to the validity of certain bonds is- * ned in aid of the Illinois Grttud Trunk lailroad. The towns refused to pay the rl iterest on the bonds, on the ground liat t* e is me was illegal. The decision f the Court affirmed the validity of the % onds, the Court holding that no irreg- * larity precedent to the issue of the * ouds, nor even fraud on the part of the * jwn's agents, Can invalidate tLe bonds i the hands of an inro e t holder. . ?his is tantamount to deciding that the onds are valid in the hands ol any holdr. because there is nothing more diffi- ^ ult to prove than that the owner of a legotiable instrument, especially a bond, j i not au innocent purchaser for value. M Ania a iiikcm mti vi n aa JlUKfi ADVUl Inft K. r. I,U. 8 Columbia, S. C. Jau. 15, 1874. 1 'riend thompson: 1 I am in receipt of your newspaper of 1 th, which has the first installment of j, >ublic printing statistics. You don't t tate the amount of cost high enough, t /; rJozo shows $331,942.20 paid, and the * mount of $117,054*34 due, making a j. olal expense of $148,999.54. a That makes more than twelve times as e uuch as the State of Marylaud paid for ? ler printing; but the total represented lere does not begin to represent the act- i lal cost of the public printing to the | hate, or the sum paid and to be paid, to 1 he Republican Printing Co. That Com- c >any furnishes the stationery for tho t jeneral Assembly, by no means an in- 1 onsiderable bill. They have in times ? >ast furnished clocks, watches, dia- j uonds, gold j wclry, pen knives, gold a >ens and pencils, bronze statuary and f ilmo-t every conceivable article of lux- ^ iry in the line of fancy articles usually c ;cpt in a jewelry store; to say nothing j?f furniture dry goods and groceries, and t ometimes libraries, carriages, &c.,&c. printing bill and sometimes a legislate certificate was made to auswer as a miplinr in flip Trpnsnrv. Latterly, I presume the public printng has been so loaded down, that much if the material herein named comes unler the head of "legislative expendiures," or "claims passed," which are tever acted upon by the General Assemily, only ordered by the accommodating ilerke; but the Republican Printing Coan be justly charged with a cost to the tate of a much larger amouut than my ota I. Take the special session, which was uainly within the current or fiscal year, ust closed, and we find that they paid '75,000 for an emigration report which ras never printed, 3:25,000 I believe for Auditors' books and blanks worth $25,* 00 or there abouts, and 3126,000 beides, making a total of 3226,000; which dded to the 8444,099.59 makes 8674-, 99.59. This aprropriatcs the cost of hat gigantic swindle the Republican hinting Company, and it is not large nough. They will say, that a portion of it raa for the previous year. It may be o, but I doubt if they had 8100,000 harged up at the close of the last fiscal ear. Even if they had, does it follow hat there was anything due. They made p their bills just as it pleased them. 'here was no Auditor to examine their ill* or accounts. Oh i no, the legislature could not admit such a monstrous thing o be done. Let me give you an item rhieh is kuown by many. The Company rautcd money. They had bills made up or $20,000 a year ago last June. There was no money in the Treasury, ioney they must have; the whole Corn>any was clamorous, senators and all. 'hen the figure heads looked around for man to find $20,000; they found him, ?ut he figured the terms, (live me, he ays, $ 100,000 of bills of the Company, >r demands upon the State inBtcad of ilAA 1 L1 .1 . 1 ci.-t _ >^u,uui?, anu .see mat ineotaie treasurr takes all the bills and claioiS and ays thcni in Blue Ridge Scrip. If he#e terms were complied with they ould have $20,000 cash; so the matter ras arranged $100,000 of bills of the Joinpany or demands, properly approved laiuis for printing were made out, the state TreasUier paid the Blue Ridge Scrip for them, and the Printing Com>any had $20,000 Cash to divide. Now there is something more to add. kmong those claims was one made out >y the Republican Printing Company for 120,000 for printing the Blue Ridge raiload scrip, the history of which is this : Yheu the state treasurer engaged the American Bank Note Company to print r engrave the scrip, the Republican hinting Company through Woodruff, heir prcsideut, who was in New York greed in the office of the American lank Note Company, to see the bill for ngruving paid, to the amount of $4,000. ['his in the presence of the manager of * ho American Bank Note Company, the tate treasurer, Mr. Palmer, president of t he Central National Bank of Columbia, ? dr. Childs, president of the Carolina 1 National Bank, Mr. Wesley and John J. < attorson, president of the Blue Ridge t ailroad. fc Woodruff collected $20,000 in Blue |j lidge scrip from the stasc treasurers, % rhieh actually netted him $5,(KM) cash nu has never paid the bill for engraving. , Vuit a little while and you will see in J onie iorm or other Cardozo will intro- 1 uce a bill into the legislature to author- ' se him to pay this claim of the Ameri- n an Bank Note Company. e ??^ a A recent number of the Dallas (Texas) I Enterprise says: "Owing to John Robin- ^ on's circus being in town the regular C 'hursday evening prayer meeting has jj een postponed." i ?A correspoij ent informs the Newt nd Conrier that the bark I. Sargent, aj t. Leigbton, now in port has been lartcred to load phosphates rock at oosaw River. The barks Bessie H. nd Kate Covert are now loading at oesaw River, the Win. Croscnp and St. awrence having just sailed for London, 'he following vessels have sailed, mostly om Engli-h ports, for the phosphate iveis, taking our cargoes to ports on ay, viz: Ruhin&s, second successive oyage to Bull River: Marghum, third oyage; Makgive, fourth voyage; Smi e, scoud voyage; Empress, second vovagf; ilfred, second voyage; Tarve, second oyage; Cilvcy, second voyage. Also lie Sire, Morna, Juliet, Daniel, ITondelip, Atnulia, Penelope, Tutton, Ajan, Jnion, Record, Emanuel and the steam* hip Ashlanp. All these and those now fading here are on account of Complell, Vyllie & Co., aud consigned to them. iffairs of the Freedmen's Savings Bank. There is a probability that an investi;ation into the affairs of the frecdmen's avings bank will soon be moved in the louse. The concern was chat tered in 865, and has a brauch in nearly every own of importance in the South. The uoncy collected at these branches is sent leie lor investment, and the amount bus gathered is estimated at from three o four million dollars. By the terms of he charter two.thirds of the receipts rere directed to be put into United States bonds. In 1857 the law w s intended so as to permit loaning .on real state secured by mortgage, the value if the real estate security to be worth wicc the auiount of the loan. The amendment, it is supposed, was n the interests of the District King, then n its incipioncj'. Under the law grantug the charter, no reports were providd for, noa is there any satisfactory way >f getting a clear showing of the condiion of the institution, the law merely iroviding that Congress should have the ight to inspect, which has never yet ?cen done. The officers of the bank lave grown suddenly wealthy, it is said, rnd although there seems to be a fair ield'for inquiry. No like concern ever et has had so good an opportunity for [ofrauding, ana- if it has neglected the hance, the development of the fact will >e a refreshing relief to the monotonous hievery of the day.? World. The Power of the Press. There has never been a more signal llustrntion of the power exerted by the ires? in a good cause than afforded by he Williams case. It is the press, and o the press almost alone, that the counry is indebted for its relief from the lisgrace which would have followedjthe legradation of the highest tribunal in he laud. The result is a significant iDswer to Butler's howiing denunciation >t the press, as well as to Chandler's selfsatisfied assertion that to secure harsh iriticisin from a new-paper was the >eure8t way of attaining success. ?Gen. Gordon, senator from Georgia, i. a reecnt speech, said he was one of hose who held a command in the conederate army when it surrendered to jren. Grant at Appomattox. Until that ime he had never known what grief was. flic negotiations occupied four days and bur nights, and during all that time not )ne word of exultation escaped the lips )f the federal couiruatider; in fact they ;vaded all conversation relative to bat,les in which the Union army had been tuccessful, and spoke only of those engagements in which they had been defeated. He, for one, appreciated such nagnanimity; it sank deep into his icart, and he mentioned the fact to wove that he was not personally hostile o President Grant. ?Mr. Lnyard, the Eastern explorer, ince requested a Mohammedan official o give sonic statistics of the city iu vhich he lived. He received in reply a ettcr of which the following is an cxract: "My Illustrious Friend and Joy >f my Liver; Tho thing you ask is both lifficult and useless. Although I have jassed all my days in this place, I have lather counted the houses nor have I nquircd into the number of inhabitants; ind as to what one person loads on his nule, and the other stows away in the mttom of his ship, that is no business >f mine. But above all, as to the prerious history of this city, God only knows ,he amount of dirt andcoufusion that the nfidels may have eaten before the coning of the sword of Islam. It were unprofitable for us to inquire into it. Oh, ny soul! oh, my .lamb ! seek not after he things which concern thee not. Thou :omest unto us, and we welcome thee. Jo iu peace." Sea Island Cotton Seed.?A letter iriuted in a Florida paper, discussing he sea island cotton question, says: 'Will the farmers hereabouts believe me vhen I inform them that Mr. T. A. Ueckett. of Edisto Island, South Carolim, sold fine cotton seed, before the war, lor thirty-five and fifty dollars per bushd ? It is, nevertheless, a fact, and if he vould consent to put his fine cotton seed lpon the market now, he would get the ibove Darned prices. I would say to our arniers, let us try the finest cotton seed vc can get, for a few years, and see the esults.' ?The good people of South Carolina vho arc becoming more and more interred in the subject of taxation may be mrprised to learn that there is a State in his Union virtually out of debt. The state Treasurer of Wisconsin reports hat the >tate owes to its own educationil fund 82,223,900, and to outsiders only M8,000, which latter it is ready pay on Icmaud.
