THE KIM* UKUHI A.
In another column will be found tbe
report of the special committee, James
A. Bowley. chairman, appointed to
iuvesiigate the refusal of the Republican
Printing company t? employ colored
pi inters. It appears that the committee
enlarged their own powers
somewhat and made soma investigations
as to h li it the printing coats. We
have been roundly abused as false to a
lifelong profession of republican priu
ciplta because we Lave attacked this
giant swindle; our assertions have been
denounced us false ; our figures have
been sneered at as g*?bicd.a paper has
been established to crush us out. All
these things we were prepared for.
But that a committee of the House
should proceed to substantiate every
charge of fraud, bribery and extravagance
made by the Commercial. was
something we were unprepared for.
We cannot repress a feeling of exul
tation in view of the fact that the COMMERCIAL
was the first paper in this
siate to point out tbe enormity of this
fraudulent business. While tbe conservative
papers in almost cvtry county
were quieted by a few hundred or a
few thousand dollars worth of pap; the
Commercial has always presetted its
opposition to thp printing swindle. In
l?71-72 we print*d the laws, and made
out a bill for tin ra amounting to ?1.021
of which we got only Si,200, being
obliged to pay the balance to a member
of the legislature front this county
to get the bill paid. Our necessities
compelled us. When the bill for six
teen hundred dollars was made we
were told to make it out at the same
rate as the Beaufort Ton. a, which was
$7 021. We could as easily have had
that sum as the one we did get, but we
would have been thenceforward the
"slave of the Ring." We have alluded
to this only to show the means taken
to silence the press. It has been generally
successful. The sentinels of the
opposition party have been in the pay
of the enemy. What wonder then that
the defence of the state has been so
teeble, and that the baggage train and
provisions have mostly been captured.
Another blow has been Struck however,
and it Is a telling one. Whether
it is an honest effort to beat off the marauders,
or whether it is a ruse of pretended
retreat, is immaterial. The fig
ures are there Admitte d by a republican
committee of a republican house. Our
efforts hav^ not been in vain. Public
ity has been the weapon wherewith
ibis sortie has been successful, ajid we
appeal to friends of good government
to aid us iD continuing thus to bring

The above represents an arithmetical
showing of the printing swindle. Mr.
Woodruff testified, (see report) that he
could do ah the printing of the general
assembly, with the decisions of the supreme
court and executive documents,
for $100,000. Mr. Bow ey's figures show
that to do this work 817-4 000 has been
appropriated. Substruct $100.! 00
from $474,000 and there remains $:574.

printing com] any fur one year's woik.
Dots any belii\e that Jumping
Woodruff and A. O. Jones arc allowed
to absoib such a sum. We kaow the
contrary, uoui 01 intm nave ioiu us
that their shaie was a piliiul one. We
believe thetn. Hut such supple tools are
OD'y used to be worn out. A score
of republican nic-iubirs divide this
plunder, after iu^r a couple ot slices
to the executive depurtuu nts. Considering
the odium attached to the
compauy, the utter wreck of commercial
aud personal reputation the}' have
made, Woodrutl ai.d .1 >ues ought to
have bad the ?h ?le of the profits. It

If you think of buying a Sewing Machine it will "
|Ry you to examine the records of those now in use
anil profit by ejyxjricnce. The Wlioeler Ac t
Wilson stands alone ns the only Light
Hnnning Machine, using the Itotary .
Hook, making a Lock Stitch, alike on both j.
sides of the fabric sewed. All shuttle machines tub
waste power in drawing the shuttle back after the ^
stitch is formed, bringing double wear awl strain \
upon both machine and operator, hence while other V
machines rapidly wear out, the Wheeler & W11ton
lasts a lifetime, and proves an economical
investment. Do not believe all that is 'promised by j
the "Cheap" machines, you should require proof that n,:,
years of use have tested their value. Money once 1'
thrown away cannot b> recovered.
Send for our circulars. Machines sold on easy
terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines
put in order or received in exehange. i
