REFORM I Our radical exchanges teem with virtuous promises of reform ; That is a catch word, and should read with a stress on the first syllable, re form to plunder again. It lias been reform for tho past six years, and the grab was bigger each time. Judging by the past if the radicals have another reform they will lcavo nothing behind but the 'savor of their virtuous deeds.' A shepherd can afford to lay claims to a lamb without suspicion ; but when a wolf prowls around, his reputation stands against him. Reform by study ing and practising the decalogue; then raise whatever cry you will, it may excite some attention. Until then do not insult the public ear with the word reform. THE BANK OF THE STATE. "We have before us the cat that lias so long been hid in the meal tub; the explanation of the sudden, and to many of us expected change of front in the "Moses" trial, and we aro the more confirmed (if that be possible)thntfroni Governor to henchman, all through, the principle of party rules everything even justice trickles out of the party s'piggot, as party influence chooses to dispense it. Tho man is a fool who admits any influence, that conflicts with, or I insses justice; tho man is a knave that uses any such influence, to defeat justice, in strengthening vice. How far favor, fear, or other consider ation affected the Ccurt in the late Moses farce, may find some explana tion in tho report submitted by the committee (Messrs. Miles, Jones, Ha good and Bratton) on behalf of the taxpayers convention. It was evident that Moses base as he is, was being used to pull nuts out of the party fire, and that his degraded position was a step stone to some adventurer who if he did not aid to trip him, is not a whit more virtuous than the cieature he calls governor, and whom he fawns upon only to stab. Moses was guilty of larceny, as he is guilty of a thousand crimes that degrade his oflice, yet the sanio party lash that herded his con stituents to make him a Governor is cracking over the head of the Court which is the creature of the party. Moses and his constituency, the assem bly and the Courts, are all a ring, and the throne above the conclave is "the party." "Tho party" is corruption. "Why should the Court contrive to keep Moses from the meshes of law ? Is it compatible with the purity of its de portment? Why should it protect Moses from a trial ? It would seem to any candid mind that he should court an investigation of the charges, if ns stated in his late disclaimer he is the "meek Moses." It is very evident that there were outside considerations, that smothered justice, and the casual rea der may discover them in the loose, nay criminal conduct of the Judge who manipulated for the benefit of Moses the party and others the assets of tho Bank of the State. So low have the affairs of public life sunk in the abyss of debauched morals, that even it judge in the discharge of duty can be blackmailed, und silenced. Cham berlain writes -"I confess that I am astonished that Judge Graham should have permitted the loans inside, after spending live years in collecting the assets of this bank, and just upon the eve of a final decree, these assets arc being scattered here and there upon securities not a whit better than those which were the cause of so much loss heretofore to the bank" * * * "If this thing is continued I wash my hands of it, and I now protest "against it as wholly unwarranted in law and good policy. The State 18 unquestion ably liable for all debts of the bank not p?id by these assets, and I cannot sit by and see them scattered in this most ruinous manner." A people crushed to earth with tnxes, and cursed with ignorance, are again to pay for the looseness of a party court; Vet so it i-, und who expected heller? [Kor the Tutfs. St. Mathews to tho Front. St. Mathews, S. C, June 30, 1874, IUr, Epitob:?Tho Tax payers of Amelia township, held a meeting at Lewisvillo, yesterday, for tho purpose of organizing a subordinate tax Union.

A rad tion was made that Mr. H. Riggs should act as chairman and Mr W; K. Crook secretary. Mr. Samuel Dibble asked for information, "how many Public Schools arc in this Township." Mr. T. C. Andrews made a report of nine, three white and six colored.the scholars of which numbered about 1200. Mr. Andrews made statements showing how this Township stood in finance. A motion was then made that a committee of three ba appointed to find out what amount would be requited to carry on thoschoolsfort.no coming year; the motion was put before the house and lost. After considerable debate a mo tion was made that tho tax of\\ mills bo levied for the purpose of carrying on the Public Schools of this township, one mill to be appropriated for school purposes nnd the half mill to pay the past indebtedness. Mr. Sain'l Dibble's statements from one of the Trustees showed that 1J mill would be sufficient; his remarks on the subject were very appropriate, however the vote of tux of 1} mills was tost, and the amount of 2 mills was substituted in its stead, 1} Inills to be appropriated for thi.? year's school purposes and J mill for the pti8t indebtedness. The tax of 2 mills was therefore adopted, and the meeting njourned, but could not get home on nccount of a hail storm which came up. Judge T. C. Andrews then took the chair and turned the meeting into one for public speaking. Mr. S. Dibble was then called on for a speech, he first begged to be cxetiticd; but after awhile reflected, nnd in his usual forci ble and graceful style made a few re marks. Mr. "Joe. Larkins" was then nominated for Congress, and about that time I left and went home about my. Business. ? - *. mmM ? mm ? A Letter from Greenville.
