Disaffected.
A journal which owes its feehle e\i>- j
tencc to the printing ling, and which ,
would never draw another hrcath if it
should fail to receive its weekly sustcuancc
from that source, speaks of the
Commercial as an " unrecognized, pn- ]
influential and disaffected paj>er,'' edited
by a "supposed republican." The facts
are that we have shown our influence in
the breaking of the ring; we arc recognized
by the house of representatives which
has withstood, so-far, the efforts of the
ring papers to hush np this scandalous
printing swindle; and our '"disaffection"
is a disgust for those who wear the livery
of the republican party to pull it down
into Tweed ism. ,
When the main part of the white
leaders of the ring were fighting to keep
in slavery the main part of their black
allies, we wore the blue in the service of
the Union. Our republicanism dates to
a time when four-fifths of the present
republican party were either white
dough-faced defenders and apologists for
slavery or were black slaves themselves.
THE LIONS IN OUR PATH.
There are four financial lions in the
path of the republican party of this
state. Between them it is likely to be
quickly destroyed, unless it*should be
wise in time and enter upon the
straight and narrow way of homsty
and economy. ?
The bills of the bank of the state
have already bceu adjudicated upon by
the U. S. Supreme court, and have
been declared receivable for taxes.
The shallow tricksters who occupy the
nnailiAno nf afobamon at P.nlnnllna im.
|/VOl tlVUU V? UVHWVUUJVU M V V^VIUtU VIM IUU I
agine that this decision can be defeated ;
by a legal quibble to the cflect that i
only the bills immediately before the
court were adjudicated upon. tVc
know that meaeu.es are dow being taken
which will fore? the treasurers
either to take the bills next year or 1
practically cease to get any taxes at all i
This is lion number one.
In 1871 a tax was levied to pay the
interest on the public debt. The money
was collected but the interest was
not paid. A similar case in North Carolina
has produced a suit on the part
of bond holders to compel the treasurer
to pay the money due them for inter
est before paying any other appropria- 1
tions. An injunction was asked for, <
and though it was refused, the opinion
of the federal court plainly intimated 1
that wheu the case was fully heard and
decided that the injunction would be
granted. Such a suit will soon be
commeuced against the slate treasurer
o South Carolina, and he will be forced !
to retain enough money to pay the
#00:),000 collected to pay interest and
subsequently misappropriated to other
purposes. This is lion number two.
The Blue Ridge scrip is not yebdead.

on wouuds. The federal courts arc to
be appealed to to force the state to ful?.
fll the contract entered into with the
Blue Ridge railroad company. The assignees
of that bankrupt corporation
dem&ud the surrendered bonds or the
scrip for which they were surrendered.
The holders of the scrip rely upon the
decision of the U. S. Supreme court in
vhe case of the bills of the bank of the
State as applicable to the contract expressed
upon the face of the scrip. The
slate agreed with the holder that it
would receive the scrip for taxts.
Much of it was received aud was again
paid out of the treasury. The form of
the scrip has been dccid< d by our state
supreme court to be illegal. No decision
has ever been given against the
binding force of the contract as ex- j
pressed upon its face. That something
will have to be done with this scrip so
that it may bo retired, is as certain as
daylight. This is lion number three.;
The following recent decision of the
highest judicial authority of the land
was clipped from the New York Ttnw.
"The supreme court of the Uniud
41 States has given a decision in favor of
"George O. Marcy, of Boston, con44
firming the validity of ?1U,U0U worth
44 of Illinois registered town bonds, is- '
"sued in aid of the Illinois Grand
41 Trunk Railroad. The town attempted |
" to avoid paying interest on tne nonds
44 alleging that tin y were illegally is- (
4'sued. The basis of the court's dcei-: (
14 siod was that no irregularity prcce- f
44dent to the it-sue, uot eveu fraud on 1
44 the part of the age nts of the town, 1 a
44 cau vitiate the bouils in the hauds of j
44an innocent holder. The court ap- j
44 plies the same rules to these bonds as 1
44are applied to commercial paper-4'
Where is the boasted se tic-meat of i f
tho bonded debt under this decision? s
The fact that a resolution has passed a
the legislature that we don't iuteud to \ c
pay our debts will hardly stand aguiitsfc | v
adictum of theU. S. ?upreme court. In J1
fact we do cot doubt that a de< i ion S
similar to the Mortou-Hliss decision d
could be obtained from the slate su- 11
preiue court, after the next election, o
sustaining the validity of every conver- o
slon bond in existence. This is lion d
number four.

Total, 82,770,470 21
Which amount shows the amount
paid tor legislative expenses and public
printing in 6ve years.
The total amount of taxes received
during the same time is as follows:
1868, 8653,088 72
1809, 1,074,795 13
1870, 816,780 88

1872,
1873, ** 1,095,8.9 43
Total, So,712.824 95
So that it appears that legislative
expenses and public printing have absorbed
the enormous proportion of
S2,770.470.21, out of a total tax levy of
SO,712,824.95.
Leaving out the public printing,
which is a comparatively modern device
to steal the people's money, the
total cost of the legislature, exclusive
of the last special session, has beeu
51,807,126.79. The average annual receipts
from taxes has been $1,118,804.00
and the Average legislative expenses
has been $101,184.13, about one-third
of the amount raised each year from
taxi 8.
In the year 1872, the legislative ex
penses paid, were $712,249.43. The
receipts from taxes were 51,223.007.77.
So that three-fifths of the sum total
raised by taxation was absorbed
by the members of the legislature iu
that year.
But this is not all. There are legislative
pay certificates and notes given
by the treasurer for the expenses of
the sessions of 1871-72 amounting to
over $400,0;>0, which would bring up
the expenses of the session presided
over by Moses and Ransier to eleven
hundred thousand dollars. If statesmen
are great in proportion to what
they cost, we have reason to be proud
i>f those produced by South Carolina
sinoc reconstruction.
It is not definitly known what
amount of fraudulent or irregular certidcates
were issued during tbe session
of 1S72-73. That a large number were
sigued is generally belivced, but they
have been kept pretty close. A specimen
of Ihem Was exhibited in the
Allen trial, in which Mr. Cardozo
made his curious distinction between I
two kind3 of pay certificates. lie 6aid
Senator Swails' ceitilicate was genuine
but not iunu Jide. What amount of
such are in existence is an uuknowu
[]Uauiliy. A Dill nas uteu prepatcu ;
to pay Ihcui, bul fear has hitherto
prevented it seeing the light.
It will be seen from the above slaiis
ties that the great leak is through the
egislative plank. However much the
;xecutive members of the administration
may have beeu ou the "make"
.heir chances were small when such a
egislative maw was to be tilled.

rhen he turns it over to his succe.-sor.

The simple change of receivers, made 1.

,t each chauge. This has been done now a
hreo times?and on the same principle X
nay be repeated whenever the necessi- o
ies of judges and politicians make it de ti
iruble. ti
The general opinion is that the fund d
ias been grossly mismanaged in other v
rays. Beside the $120,000given iu fees r
o three receivers there is, it. is said, a a
ojs of three huudred thousand dollars, a
>y improper loans and investments. 1
We have soute information on the sub- I
cct which we will give as soon as it can I
oe verified which will exhibit iu a striking
light how recklessness and fraud
strikes down and up through all grades
of society in this poor state. t
Contracting With Himself. ]
The contract for the piinting of the i f
general assembly was given to the Re- i i
publican Printing Company, under au- j 1
thority of the act of January 23, 1871. as ; \
follows: "And they, (the clerks raspcc- j
tively of the senate and house of repre- I
sentatives) arc further authorized to provide
by contract for the permanent and j
current printing of the general assembly." 1
The present contract, is sigued by J.
W/iAlii-nff onrl A O .Tnnoc.
Mr. Bowlcy says that Woodruff and j
Jones testified before his committee that <
the same Woodruff and Jones were the
only member* of the Republican Printing
Company. So the two clerks being authorized
as public officers to contract for (
the printing, proceed to contract with
themselves, not as the lowest bidders but 1
as the only bidders. For no other bids '
were invited or received. If this is not
an offense calling for the attention and ,
action of the attorney general we think'
such an officer might as well hereafter be
dispensed with.
OUR COLUMBIA LETTED.
Columbia, Jan. 31.
The resolution introduced by Mackey
to-day, and its adoption by the l.o isr,
may give the quietus to the printing ring
It appoints a committee of five to investigate
the charges mode that certain members
of the house had received a part of
the large appropriations for printing.
The clerks in making their sly allusion to
"the other cause to which we do not think
it necessary to call to the attention of your
honorable bodies,'* doubtless thought
that no investigation was likely to he
ordered by either house into the fact
which is so generally known hut which it
would be rather difficult to prove without
the assistance of that little memorandum
book of Onkes Auies Wor.d uff.
Let a committee be appointed to ex
amine the vouchers upon which the printing
bills have been paid. There would
be something practical in such information.
The dodge of appointing committees
to prevent investigation is about
played out.
Chief Justice Moses was rc-clecfcd in
joint Assembly on Friday by a vote of
one hundred and twenty-three to four.
There was no one to oppo.-e him.
The committee appointed to investigate
the charge against Judge Carpenter
for discriminating on account of color in
the discharge of a jury, made a majority
and a minority report, the former si^n
ed bv Minort, Boston, Adarason and P.
Si m pk ins, all colored, and the latter by
Tim Hurley. The former wa? rather
condemnatory of Judge Carpenter's
action, the latter entirely exonerated him.
The former wax adopted as the sense of
the House, and leaves the whoic matter
open for the further consideration of the
IIou c.
The Governor approved the following
acts, viz: To amend the joiut resolution
authorizing the county commissioners'
of Beaufort County to levy a s|>ccial tax;
to charter the Boatman's Phosphate
River Mining Company, and to empower
coroners to punish for contempt.
In the Senate the bill to regulate the
sale of inebriating liquors was passed mid
sent to the House. Mr. Hope's resolution
relative to the report of the expenditures
of the contingent fund of the
oxecutivc department was adopted.
The House adjourned until Tue-day
evening at sevon o'clock, with a view, it
is said, of giviug the committee appointed
for that purpose time to go to Charleston
and investigate the affairs of the
Bank of the State. (The result of ti e
investigation was the appointment ofoi.c
of the committee as receiver of the bank,
but no report.) The Senate meets
to-morrow as usual.
The young colored men of Richland
County have been holding a convention
in Columbia, and after several sessions
have prepared and presented the following
memorial to the Lcgis ature:
We, the young men of Richland
County, in convention assembled, do
memorialize your honorable body to
consider the matters herein mentioned.
We respectfully urge such legislative
action as may be necessary to secure a
just and lair valuation of the taxable
property of the State; tha t the appropriations
for the current expenses ol the
government be curtailed to the limit of
tiie present tax levy; that the disbursing
officers of the State beheld to a strict
accountability for he expenditures of the
money under their co tr 1; that the taxes
for the next fi-eal year be reduced to a
reasonable extent; that the present
printing laws he repealed, and the piinttng
be to the lowest bidder, who will do
the work at a cost of not more than
SoU.tM), and employ workmen irrespective
of color.
The committee to investigate the
transactions of the sinking fund comtnis
moii made a report, accompanying wl.ich
was a joint ^solution calling upon the
attorney-general to institute legal proceedings
to recover the property of the
State alleged to have been uiude away
with by the commission.
The enacting clause was striken out ,
i>f the bill to provide for the election of
county auditors and treasurers, the vote
