COMMUNICATION.

Messrs. J. d. MORLEY. g. others, Com'rs,
Roads and Bridges, for Lancaster Dis
trict:
During the last session Of The Legisla-
ture duty devolved nPon your representa-
tivcs to nominate and appoint suitable and
fit persons to serve az Commissioners Of
Roads and Bridges for the ensuing term,
3 years.
This step was not drne hastily and with
out due reflection. My Colleague and my
self, al the meeting of the board previous 10
our leaving for Columbia, consulted yonr
predecessors ns to whom We should appoint,
these nominations were duly considered and
appointed perhaps, with one exception Col.
Barns, was named. We acting as one Of
tho Com'rs Of Public Buildings, we appoint
el another in his place, and at the time we
called on the Board, one Of the Commission
ers refuse TO nominate. We had, then, TO
make The selection sometime about the l2th
Of January. / received note from your
Chairman, that you had met and organized,
and after organizing one Of she members ap-
pointed thought &c 10 excuse himself from
said service, by paying his tine to wit : Fifty
dollars; consequently a vacancy occurred.
1t then becomes yonr duty to elect some
one in his stOad, which your Chairman in
forms me has fallen upon my shoulders.
Gentlemen, feel Truly grateful 10 you
for the high estimation which you seem
disposed 10 value my services, but beg
leave TO decline serving yoa al this time, un-

State Advertisements--Executive Pat

IOuHS6.
We publish in this paper, a very sensible
article on the above subject, which appear
ed in the Iaurensville Herald a few weeks
since:
OF all the debts which are annually pre-
sented to the Legislature, we believe there
are none paid with such reluctance, as those
for advertising. May we ask, why Is this
Is the amount for advertising SO much A
publisher of a secular work, can ohtain one
or two thousand Dollars from the Legisla-
ture, e,merely as token of encouragement, and
yet, if the bills Of the news paper Press
amount to four or FIVE thousand, there is n
great noise made, and economy is recon-.
mended. Let us examine into this matter
The Executive may exercise all the discre-
ton and economy possible, and yet, to COM
ply with the law of the State, an annual out
lay is necessary to be made for advertising.
Say that the amount paid last year was
$4,000, we will warrant tho expenditure
could not be lesscned more than one half
$2500. Now what signifies $4,000, espe-
cia,ly when rirtually devoted to the cause
Of education. News papers have done rs
much for the cause Of education, as the Free
School Fund. And yet, every successive
session Of the Legislature we see spirit Of
opposition exhibited towards the country
Press, for having received any portion Of
Executive Patronage. a.....
We speak on this matter rs II no benefit
accrues to the State proper, for this outlay.
A hcnious offence is committed in Charles
ton, the villain escapes and seeks refuge in
Lancaster, the Pro "lamation Of the Governor
is read in the Ledger, and the assassin or
scd ,ccr is apprchcnded. Docs it signify be-
cause the murder or rape was committed in
Charleston, the Proclamation of the Cover
nor offering reward for tho apprehension
of the murderer or seducer should appear
only in the Charleston papers! BY no
mcars. Then what course should be per-
sucd-puLlish in all The papers in The Stale.
This would be the most eifcctual means of
bringing him l." justice.
The proud aristocratic State Of South
Carolina, ambitious in her pride to seat Leg
islators in marble halls, aud vet too parsi-
moniuus TO eApcnd two or three thousand
dollars on the Press of the State, which We
repeat, does rs mucl, for the cause Of edu-
cation rs the Free School fcnd It is just
th- other day, that gen ntlcman Of this dis
trict gave us $500 for the paper the coming
year we demonstrated, saying our price was
only two, but he Insisted on our taking il,
for" said he IL am an advocate for cduca-
ton amos the masses, and 0m ling TO
pay $500 annually for paper published
in the District" At another time 40 may say
more on this subject. We should like TO
hear from the country Press.
