ION BIN Elm pREussR

This Is the famous National song Of
Prussia, which never perhaps was
sung with more enthusiasm than upon
receipt in Berlin of the first news Of
victory, in 1856, when in every street
on the memorable 10Th Of June, re-
sounded in joy, "Ich bin elm Preusse,
kennt, thr meine Farben?" This Is
the song, also, which the Germans Of
st. Louis sang so fervently on the oc-
casion Of the recent mass meeting:

For Freedoms rights, my fathers heart.blOod

EVERY MAN IN HIS OwN HousE.-In
this councry there Is no working man,
be he ever so poor and humble, who
may not, If he will, better his condi-
ton with every succeeding year.
To do this he must correct the habit of
spending the full weeks earnings. He
must begin by savings a little, instead
spending all. Half dollar week
will amount to twenty-six dollars q
year. In four years this saving will
give the sum Of over hundred dol
lars. In ten years, adding interest to
his savings, the poor man will be able
to buy q little house. If he saves q
dollar week instead of half dollar,
he can have house twice rs large !;
and larger still, In proportion to the
weekly amount of his savings. Who
will not be q householder? 1t IS what
we waste that keeps US peor.

FRANCE VERSUS SOUTH CARoLINA.-A dis
patch of the lst from Tours, the present capi-
tai of France, says:
"The official journal of the Republic tonight
publishes decree, fixing the time for election
of the Constituent Assembly, and prescribing
the manner in which the election shall be held.
The total number of representatives is to be
$50, these to be elected by France alone. There
is no provision thus far as Algeria or other
colonies. Representatives to be apportioned
on the basis of population. All Frenchmen,
resident six months of any commune, and
whose names may be inscribed in the list of
electors shall be entitled to vote. Projects and
Secretaries General actually in Office may be
reelected. The electors will vote at the chief
place of the canton. Projects of departments
may, under certain circumstances, given at
length in the original documents, divide the
cantons in two or more election districts. Vo-
ting to begin on the morning of October 10th,
and end at in the evening The ballots will
be counted on the same evening, by commit
tee of six persons, who are to be named here
after"
This shows the difference between despotism
and liberty. The people of France, by educa-
tion and experience trained to monarchy, with
one-third of their territory in the possession of
a powerful enemy and their country in state
of distraction, hold an election, the result of
which must be ascertained on the same euening.
In free and peaceful South Carolina, on the
contrary, an election is to be held three days
afterwards, and thirteen days are given the

s.

have better opinion of Mr.. Chamberlain In
tellect than to suppose him to be deluded OF
convinced by such sophistry.
With this, close my review of the financial
administration Of Governor Scott. have sex-
amined these accounts carefully, and have
stated or have endeavored to state, the results
fairly. have made no statement that is not
sustained by the official documents. If there
is error ii is, therefore, susceptible of easy and
immediate correction.
So far from the accounts justifying the en-
comiums that have been paid to the wisdom
and economy of the Scott administration, they
are mutely eloquent of official ignorance and
extravaganza, of wasteful expenditure, ofcrimi-
nal negligence, if not fragrant corruption.
Large sums paid for trifing services, debts paid
and the proper credits not given, and half
million of dollars twice paid for the same debt
To the property-holders and taxpayers,
commend careful study and investigation of
these accounts. To them the subject is one of
vital importance. Unfortunately the inclina-
ton of property-holders and business men is to
avoid politics, and all political questions. They
rather pride themselves upon being utterly in
different to politics, and one of the objects
have had in making this examination of State
expenditures is to show to them the price which
they pay for that indifference. If they refuse
to make their weight felt in important political
issues, if the intelligence, capital and charac-
ter of the State shun all connection with poll
tics political control of the State will inevita-
bly, fall into the hands of those who are ignor-
ant or corrupt. All will suffer from i'll govern
ment. Every interest will feel it, but the
weight of the burden will fall upon property.

{Comptroller's Report, 1866, pages q, 2s.) The
police assessment was S149,715 83. The esti-
mates for the year 1867 were, $3O2,7lO. Re
port 1866, p. 50.)
How do these compare with the mammoth
appropriations and expenditures of 1868 and
Let us now examine the other side OF MIR.
Chamberlain's statement. he puts down the
total expenditure of the State, excluding the
county expenditure, at $1,103,372 20. These
figures he obtains from the comptroller-gener-
aPs report By reference to that document,
page ", it will be seen that the total expendi-
ture of the State, excluding the county, was
$2O99, ,345 A. Even the comptroller, accus-
toned from his youth upwards to the largest
financial transactions, was appalled, by the
magnitude of this sum. The thing did not
look we'll. Governor Scott it is true, had COM
plimented the State on the promptness and
willingness with which the taxes had been
paid, but there was limit to every virtue, and
some grumbling taxpayers might vince, under
this weighty load. It would never do to let it
90 thus to the world. To borrow word from
Chamberlain, it must be diminished" and as
"dead men tell no tales" portion of it should
be charged to the defunct administration. Ac-
cordingly we have the total expenditures, 81

HOLD HIM TO AccoUNT.-One man, and one
man alone, is responsible for whatever blood
may be shed in this State up to the time for
holding the October elections. That man is
Robert Kingston Scott, Governor of South
Carolina.
The State was profoundly quiet. Whites and
blacks were busily engaged in tilling the soil
or were pursuing the peaceful paths of trade.
There was no thought of resistance to any law
full authority. Had such resistance been at
tempted, the white people of the State would
have risen, as one man, at the call of the Gov
ernor to enforce obedience to the laws of South
Carolina. Peace and tranquility were devout-
ly prayed for by this whole people. And now
one man-this Robert Kingston Scott-threat-
sens the whole State with the horrors of civil
war.
The arming of the colored militia, and the
refusal of arms to the white companies, were
unerring indications of the intentions of the
Scott party. Nor was any attempt made to
hold the negro soldiery in check or to restrain
their excesses. The outrageous conduct OF the
Scott militia in Laurens, at Gadsden and else.
where, passes wholly unrebuked And the Of
ficers of the militia are chosen from among the
most rabid of Scott's partisans. The sole OBJ
iect of the organization of the militia is to
overawe and intimidate the whites before the
elections, and on election day. But the whites
though they love peace, are ready to fight fol
their rights The skirmishing even now is be-
ginning, and for the consequences, whatever
they may be, Robert Kingston Scott must be
held to strict account
The whites may lose the elections. SCOTS
militia may burn and destroy. The best blood
of the State may be poured out by the midnight
assassin. But, in any event, enoug h men will
remain in South Carolina to exact from Robert
Kingston Scott an eye for an eye, and tooth
for a tooth. The old Mosaic law is explicit
enough: :,
"Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by man shall
his blood be shed !"-Charieston Neacs
