Mr. Bowley, iu his report on the
printing abuse conclusively shows that
the contracts made by the clerks,
Woodruff and Jones, with themselves
as the Republican Printing company,
received the nppioval of theecnateaud
bouse of representatives. Nobody is
fool enough to believe that the shrewd
managers of the senate aud bouse gave
their approval to a contract which was
to inure solely to the beuelit of Woodruff
aud Jones. Not by such unselfish
devotion to the interests of others have
our senators and representatives been
enabled to dress their wives in silks
aud jewels; buy fast horsis; build el
egant houses; give dinners to brigades;
bid off the property of the ir conslitu
euts at tax sales and that if their
quondam associates at sheriffs sales?
l?o! no! And u .w that Woodruff and
JoneB are driven to the wall, we call
upon them to make acltau bnast of it,
and let the people of the slate know
who it wtre that squeized them dry.
Tell us how much wtut to the cxecu
lire deparluieulb; how niucn 10 uic

the wholesale plundering done under
the name of the Republican Piinting
company, if you will only let them ste
who your partners were.

A COMPARISON COMPLETED.
Governor Mosisiu hisai nuai m<saage
compared the relative amounts
puid to bustaiu their stale governments
by the citizens of Massachusetts and
South Carolina.
His comparison seemed to prove
that the advantage was altogether in
favor of our state. He said that while
each citizen of Massachusetts, man.
woman and child, was called 'upon to
pay about five doliats to the state, that
iu South Carolina each man, woman
and child paid but about three dollars.
His figures may be right euough. but
he should have pursued liis cyphering
a little further. The wialihor taxable
property of Mussaebubetts was at a
low valuation given in ISTo a? $1.51)1,
98i;112,and her population 1.457,331.
O.. !.<.( if om.ru man Brnmnn iinii cliilil

were to take his share of this wealth
he-would have 3l,093.7& South Caro
lioa whose wealth is estimated at an
excessive valuation at 31H3.913,337 has
a population of 7u3,GU($. Every man,
woman and child therefore iu a division
would be entitled to but SdGU 04.
Eroiu such a coojp uison it nill besecn
that when the Mussachust its man is
called upon to pay h a live dollar tax
he has nearly eleven hundred dollars
worth of good property Ou hand to pay
it with, while the South ('aroliuiau
when calicd upou for his three dollar
tax has only two hundred and sixty
dollars.worth of comparatively unproductive
and doubtlul assets to meet
the iinpoi lunate call of the tax collector.
There is another diilercoca, too,
1 which is important to t? reiiiciubcicd,
unu to whicu Governor M< .? s failed to
call oijl attention. The luxes of Masfeachuselts
arc properly expended, ilir
citizens do not feci when they are
handing over their moniy. that they
are pouriug water into a seive. Tiny

Major Pliancy's Letter.
In another column we print a letter
recently written by Ma;. Martin R. l)e!any,
who is well known to many in this
community. The pointto which we would
particularly call the attention of our republican
readers is that which asserts
that the sympathies of the country arc
with the white minority of South Carolina.
Sot all Told Yet.
The following extract from a letter of
Mr. Rowley to the Georgetown Planet
seems to show that our figures have not
included all the plundering done hv the
Republican Printing Company. He intimates
that other bills of the company
were covered up under the guise of "contingent
" expenses, etc. lie says :
I have from the annual reports of the
State Treasurers, the foilowingstatement
of the total cost of the Public Printing,
! since the adopti n of the present State
| Constitution : Prom September 1st. 1 SOS
to October 31st. 1870, 2<'> months, $43,*
410.57; l'roui November l..t, 1870, to
Octobir 31st, 1871, 12 months, ? 134.151:44;
from November 1st. 1871, to October
31st, 1872, 12 mouths. $215,129.86;
from November 1st, 1872. to October
31st, 1873, 12 months, 331,945.66; undrawn

$118,054 34; appropriated by act of
March 19th, 1873, SI25.UU0; grand total
$967,721.87.
Even this large sum docs not cover
the whole amount, as various other
charges in the Treasurers accounts might
legitimately be placed under the head of
Public Printing. The rates of increase
is noticeable, the first two years and
two mouths eo'-t 8l3.4-fl.57. the la -1

A Disgraceful Exhibition.
On Wednesday, the lllli inst., the
supply bill for the year being under dis"
the house of representatives
presented a scone which, if presented by
a negro minstrel troupe wou'd be set
down as a broad caracnture upon legislation
in St. Domingo or Ashautce. An
amendment had been proposed to cat
down the impropriation for the support
of the penitentiary; Minort, of llichland
opposed it.
Humbert, of Darlington, the groat
colored economist, interrupted Minort in
his homely and laughable style, asking
if ho did not know that the institution
melit to be self-sustaining, and iusinuat
ing that Minort only wanted
A GRAB AT THE MuNXT.
Minort fl tiv l a -k at tbo "gemrt-n from j
Darlington,'' and a most rcdicuMii* scene :
ensued. Hurley attempted to come to
Minort's relief, but was silenced by Humbert's
" You shot your inouf, sir,''
followed by a roar of laughte r from the
House, (ircenc, of lleaufort, urged that
the 8t')b,0U0 be retained, and that even
that sum would not be sufficient. The
idea that tbo poor convicts should be
compelled to go out to labor for their
bread seemed to him very hard. In the
course of his remarks, in the usual legislative
style, he referred to Humbert as
"THAT Til!KK IRO.U l?AP.U(iTON.''
Humbert retorted thai if lie had ever
siolcu anything he would to bo ku-kluxcd
and robbed by just such highway robber.as
the gentlemaii iroui iieauibrt. fireunc
insinuated that the gentleman from
Purliugton might find himself soon in
tlio walk of the penitentiary, and ought
to bo careful how he fought the appro*
priatioii for its supnort. ''Well,"
ictorted Humbert, "ill do get in d.ir I

(ircenc, of Beaufort, interrupted him by

about the matter as he did about the

of this State, then under discussion in
the hou^e, he said:
For one he was heartily tired of hasty
legislation u|?oo such important meanmen;
it was ruinous to the party, and I
indecent to rush through pcllmeil just
because it provided for the paying of
the members; just as if it was the last
grab at the trea-uiy and as if everyth'or
depended upon their own pay. This
extravagant legislation was forcing the
party of the North to cut loose from that
of the South. The Notional Republican
party had already abandoned Texas j
to its fate. Again, they were about to !
desert the Republicans of Louisiana, !
because.they could imt oarry any such
load. Soon they would cut loose from the
party in South Carolina if it did not reform.
The enormous expenditures for
(public printing and legislative expenses in
this State, had lost the Republican party
thousands of votes iu the North. States
that were a year ago Republicans by
immense majorities, have since become
Dxtiioei-fltin Even President Grant
thought it was time to unload. We have
levied the heaviest taxes that we dare
levy, or that the Republican party can
stand. In the early part of the sea-ion,
while many of the members were absent,
and before they had time to properly
consider the matter, a lull appropriating
large amounts for printing was rushed
through. Already the House seen the
evil effects of its hasty and reckless action
in this matter, and now when it is too
late they are repenting. To-day members
arc trying the same game.
Preponderance of Race.
Charleston, S. C., Feb. 10, 1874.
lion. J. J. Wright, Assistant Justice
S?j>nme Court S. C1. Columbia, ?S'. C.:
My 1 >ear Sir.?I see by recent Convention
held by the Young Men of Richland
County, at which you ppokc and
gave some excellent counsel, that much
interest and alarm were manifested by
them at the influx of white emigration.
This is but the early current of that
emigration which I frequently cautioned
the people concerning in 18GG, at Hilton
Head, and among the Sea Islands, and
spoke of it at the great reconstruction
meeting at Kpping Hall, (now United
States Court House.) Charleston, 1708,
and more particularly, as the club meeting
af Republicans at Reaufort, the same
year, (I being then in the United States
Army stationed at Hdtuu Head) and
.-uh.'oquently at oilier times when you
wove present.
I remember the club meeting particularly,
as the suggestions made by me met
with determined opposition, and ttlufet*
the most prominent of the party
there at the time arose in the meeting
and advisedthe people that there need
he no fears of any such tiling ever taking
place, as it was simply impossible ever
to outnumber the colored people in South
Carolina and Mississippi, where the
black now had the preponderance. You
must refucinber thi*- and the Reaufort
club meeting. 1 spoke of General Amnesty.
and this too, was "pooh-poohed."
I simply desire to say that this tide of
emigration having u nv set in will go on
to completion?that i-, it will not crease,
til! the white population in tno ruato,
sufficiently outnumbers the blacks, to
Heeure to the whites the basis of a ruling
element.
The object of the *' Granges'' or emigration
in this Slate, as you very well
know, is to neutralize the black ruling
element, bv reducing or exceeding its
majority. An I my candid opinion is,
tliar the whites ill the Soatli goo rally,
and South Carolina in particular, prefer
a > agricultural, mechanical, and laboring
elements the b!aek s, to the whites ; and
that this emigration scheme never would
have be n organized b id tliey from the
past an.1 present a-p ct of things not
men led to believe that we. the black ,
weic influenced, controlled, and led in
our political actions without priciple or a
will ol our own, and that so long as wo
outnumber tlieui, they would never get a
chance to participate in tho political
affiirs of the State. This is my sincere
conviction, after much observation and
intelligent inquiry.
l>ut tin- thing is now done, and is a
fixed fact til it in five yea is, if not lestime
tlian this, the black popu'ation ( f
include ail people af color) wiii be in the
mauority in this State.
\Vhat our race requires is, proper information
to rightly direct it. This lias
been to long neglected, and should have
been given by those who led them in pol
ities.
What 1 desire now to say is, that it is
your duty, as it is that of every intelligent
man among us, who aspires to a
ha ler.-iiip, loves bis race, has the capacity.
and i- veix.-d in the groat principles,
noli tics, seieii'*e, and consequently, the
philosophy of popular Mtcocs-joii, to
warn hi.-people of a great approaching
reality, which sooner or later will verify
itself in history.
Thai having prospectively lo?t the
popular preponderance, and consequent
certainty of representation in all tho
departments of goveriiUi *nt, local, State,
in I national, our only hope and chance
of its future security, i- in the principle
i'/tf in. t urliu*)) gp.Mtnu hi!
norify representation a- well as majority.
I<ct our Legislature he wise enough
now, while it is in ihc p?wer of our race
to do so. to take -ucli measuers as to
so suv. by eo:i?titutional enactment, the
right of iitinority te.pie dilation. which,

most useful family medicine. For pains and allies
