"On q Liberal Basis. q"

The Committee of Ways and Means OF the
City Council suggest that the attorneys re-
tanned by the Clark administration to con-
test the election Of the present Mayor and
Aldermen were arranged with 'on liberal
basis" And-the committee recommend
that Mr.. Corbin, United States District At
torney City Attorney and State Senator, be
paid three thousand dollars as "a fair COM
pensation" for securing decision which
gave the present Mayor and Aldermen the
opportunity to make the City Hall grog-
shop, and to display in the Council Chamber
more than the rudeness Of ignorance, and
more than the intoxication Of power.
Now we happen to know that Messrs.
Porter, Miles and Barker, the counsel for
the Clark administration, were paid fee OF
something less than one thousand dollars,
including the expenses Of professional visit
to Columbia. This points the moral Of the
tale. An arrangement on "a liberal basis"
with three leading Charleston attorneys,
who conducted one Of the most important
cases ever tried in this city, means the pay
ment, for the three, of one thousand dol
lars. But "a fair compensation" for the
Radical senator and government official
who defended the cause means the payment
OF lust three times the amount. This is the
advantage Of being on the winning side. In
this case, msyhap, the three thousand dol
lars will benefit him that gtpes as well as him
that takes. -

" that General Butterfeld ofthe Suo-Ireasury'
and who now IS supposed by some 10 nave
nlaved a hand in the gold game, has sent
h,s nronunciamento to the foreman OF the
GRAND Jury, who has been investigating the
case, telling him to suspend frther pro-
ceedinps in this case for the present. Ii
ia also rumored that Butterfeld has his in
structions, either directly or indirectly, from
President Grant, and that he Is backed up by the
leading Radical politicians Of this city. They
will have a strong Democratic influence to
contend against In the State Court, however,
and it is hoped that the grand jury will 90 Oh

GUS proceedings. Mr.. Fisk and Mr.. Gould are
both ready and anxious to be called before tne
grand Jury to testify in the case, and 1t Is saio
that should they be cheated out Of an exami-
nation. and the matter be hushed in the COURTS
o strong influence will be brought upon Con-
press this winter to have the whole affair thor
oughly ventilated. The Times continues in Its
attempt to defend the alleged conspirators, but
the Republican press is almost unanimously
the other way. The impression here Is that
unless the President removes General Butter
field, the odlum Of the affair will rest with
Grant, and him almost alone" ',

What 1t Costs.

A short time ago conscientious assessor
in AbbeviIle County went to a plantation
for the purpose of assessing the taxes OF the
freedmen employed there. The freedmen
were about thirteen in number, and the as
sessment occupied the official from morning
10 night. When the work was done, the as
SCISSOR found that the whole amount that the
freedmen were assessed-apart from the
educational tax Of one dollar each-would
realize for the State just seoentyJfoe cents,
provided that none Of the thirteen tax-pay-
ers failed to pay the tax. The assessor re-
ceives three dollars for his days work, and
consumed about fifty cents worth Of sta
tionery; so that it cost the State three dol
lars and .Jsfy cents to obtain the right to
collect Mree:tourths Of one dollar. Well
may we rise up and call this system blessed! |!
