For Ono We knew.

We see it reported that Mr.. Thomas
J. Mackey is writing. or has written-we
know that Mr.. NJ. wields the pen of a
ready writer Governor SCOTS annual
message. Mr.. Maokey will remember
that. in the days OF his and our youth,
We knew each other we'll. This was be-
fore he became one of the "peelers, f"
aud we one of the '.peeled;;' or he one of
the ''shinners," and we one of the
''skinned;;" or he one of the "shauers, I"
and we one of the "shaued." In those
days. Mr.. Maekey was poetioally in
clined. Whether he has since lost his
poetry or not. we do not know. But
one thing we do know. that Mr.. Mackey
10 not always good pistol shot. He
will, however. wo believe, write q good
message. If Governor SCOTS message
shall be this year without heart, it will not
be without soal, for if we are not mis-
taken, Mr.. Maokey is so foad OF joke,
that it will surprise us if somebody is
not sold. On one occasion. some one
wanting in the classics. made Governor
Scott say in his message that Scipio
Africanus, of noble Roman parentage,
was negro. If MIR. Mackey does not
write some ono down, a Ia Dogberry,
then has his fondness for fun gone, and
he has fallen Sin the sere, the yellow
leaf" If We are not mistaken, when last
We followed Mr.. eMackey's young pen,
he was engaged on Miltonic theme,
entitled, We believe, Paradise Regai,sed.
He can now write for the gentleman
from Ohio on Paradise Lost, and find
ample materials, at least, in the devils
all around him.
We hope. nov. that for "Auld Lang
Syne." Mr.. Mackey will not think hard
OF this allusion to the memories of the
past. Oh, Yorick, thou vast then q fell
low of excellent jest, of infinite fancy.
You fought for the United States, and for
South Carolina, in Mexico. You have
the Palmetto medal. You fought for
the Confederaoy in the late war betwee
the States You had the good opinion
OF Sterling Price. You declare that your
hands are unstained with public plunder.
If you have influence now, WELD it in
behalf OF your outraged mother. If you
have committed errors in your political
past, redeem them, and 30 live and work
for South Carolina. that when you die,
you may wrap the drapery of your couch
around you and lie down, as it were, to
pleasant dreams.

The correspondent Of The New York
7'-tduas has been at work ttpy Ave dsys
in trying to arrive at the real tsmount Of
the State debt. Parker, Nsagle, Scott
and Chamberlain have ut ,iAss agreed in
a report to him, which wiif be published
in tho Tribune of to-day. The total
amount is set down as GIG. 800. 600. We
wish we could believe this to be all.
But SCOTT stated only last July to the
Senate Ku Klux Committee, that the
debt was $S. 900, 900. 1t seems that he
either did not know, or pur;rosse!y mig
stated it. Is hs right nova We do not
believe it. The taxpayers will not be
satisfied until their representatives have
access to the TreashSer's accounts. But
let them keep on rendering accounts.
They will get up to the proper figures
fabout the time they are ready to leave
the State for good.
The Governor has hit upon q
scape goat for his financial sins. He
has been much worried how to treat
the bond business in his message,
but it was suggested that. that id
Chicago fire was to blame for all the
fuss-i. g., being found out. So Scott
will, perhaps, speak Of the financial cri-
sis as the act OF Providence, and will
recommend the taxpayers to bow with
resignation to the divine DEGREES. Will
his Exoelieloy tell us how his head is
now? T.s

A BLACK MANS PLEA-We call the
attention of the New York Tribune snd
the other leading Radical journals of the
North to the rudo but striking COM
ments of the only negro newspaper
organ in South Carolina, upon the re.
cent disclosures of the robberies of the
rascally ring which now controls the re-
venues and the credit of our State.
Northern Republicans have of late shown
a deal of sympathy with the few colored
people who have suffered at the hands of
the Ku Klux. But here is a wrong of
gigantic proportions which dwarfs the
kn Klux ontragns into insignificance,
and which not only brings ruin to blacks
aud whites alike in Snnth Cnrolina, but
which inilicss heavy losses upon credu-
lous investors in other States. Will not
tho Northern press, which has 30 often
before undertaken to interfere in our
troubles, come to our assistance in our
present strait, and. before the lataly
awakened ardor for reform has had time
to cool, help us somehow to shvke off
the rule of IL ring, compared with which
Tammapy itself was benignant, unself-
isl and most conscientious institution?

,CArIIoLIc MISSION FROM ENGLAND. "A
cable despatch announces the sailing
from England on Saturday Of tho first
Roman Catholic mission ever despntche ell
from England to America, consisting oil
four priests, whose duty it will be to Ia.
Dor exclusively among the colored peo.
pie of the United States. The priests,
it is stated, arc of the St Joseph's So
ciety. The mission was inauguratcd in
England, and Archbishop Spalding has
donated sixty acres of land upon which
it is located. with an ample building for
merly used ns an academy, in aid of tho
work. The establishment of schools for
colored children OF practicable localities
will be among the first duties of the mis-
sion, which comprehend the general
mental and spiritual improvement of the
colored race. Curiously enough, ac-
cording to the despatch, tho mission has
been established by tue Catholic Church
in England. because, in tho language of
Archbishop Manning. England had i'm
posed slavery upon America, and it was
lifting that EDglishmen should be tho
first to move for tho amelioration of the
emancipated people.

SouTH OAAdLfNA. A.--Akesmati, who was
down there himself, and 3 tH He rest OF
Grants sssters IN Sentk Cssc!ins, have
attempted to foist upon the credaiity Of
the country the,impressi that the. dis.
orders, which are alleged TO exist fip the
outlawed Counties Of the Palmetto State,
are sanctioned by public opinion there,
and that the Kn KlQxt are harbored and
abetted by the people Of those Counties.
In substantial and sufficient manner by
the representatives Of the very people
upon whom it was thrust-by the State
Survivors Association in convention a.
Columbia. This society is composed OF,
to quote from ita articles Of organiza.
ton, s'those who served in the Confede-
rate army or navy to the close, or were
honorably discharged or resigned there
FROM" Any persons. not members of
the army or navy, who performed service
for the Confederate cause, of distin-
guished gallantry and merit. may also
become members. Upon the rolls of
the association are the most distinguish.
ed soldiers Of tho State. Gen. Wade
Hampton is President. Lieut.. Gen.
Anderson, Maj. Gen. Kershaw, Brig.
Gen. MCGOWAN, Maj. Gen. Butler and
Gen. Arthur NJ. Manigault are Vioe-Pre-
sidents. The Survivors Association, in
word, represents more thoroughly than
any other organization could do what
the Northern press are pleased to call
"the rebel element" in South Carolina
From such an organization the North
ern people would hardly expect con-
demnation of Ku Kluxism. They would
quicker look to it for tacit approval of
tho wrongful acts which are attributed
to that organization. But the Survivors
Association, in its recent convention, at
Columbia, reAeoting tho sentiments of
the people. has taken up the question Of
Ku kluxism, and adopted q resolution
declaring its earnest and solemn disap-
proval of all organizations or combina-
tions for the purpose Of violating any
laws of the State or General Govern
ment, or the right of any people there
under. This resolution was adopted
! without dissent. No better evidence
than this could be adduced to provo the
| irresponsibilty of the people for the
wrongful acts on account of which they
are being 30 outrageously prosecuted.
If there were any justice, sense Of right,
or even common sense in tho administra.
ton of President Grant, or if his endea.
vors had any other purpose than to SO.
cure his own reelection, or if tho people
of the one section had not lost all re-.
spect for the rights, and liberties, and
feelings Of their fellow-citizens in the
other section, this fact of "rebels" de.
nouncing Ku Kluxism would not fnil to
have its weight in changing the oppres.
sive policy now being pursued with re.
spect to the Democratic citizens of South
Carolina. Courier. Journal.

night last week. The following extract
will serge both to show Georges style,
and also what lie thinks of one of his
opponents:
Grant is the most gigantic sell over
played of on an outraged people. H.
is an ignoramus. He thinks Lafayette

rotten empire against live republic.

ashamed Of him. His ignorance, his
nepotism, his disgusting habits, are
minntely portrayed by Sumner. Tilton
and Phillips, once his bosom companions.
Greeley and Butler loathe him, while
the party obligos these professional
hacks to sleep with him. A fast horse,

Our Duty FinanOial-An Issue to be Mot.
T We are told that the ring, of which
Governor Scott is the figure head, now
acknowledges that there has been an orer-
issue Of about three millions. AS to these
figures, the public will believe Just what
they please. We know very we'll that
we are dealing with a set Of unsorupu-
lous and unprinoipled officials, who have
over and over again deceived the public.
( We believe that the over issue has been
largely in excess Of what is now admitted,
and shat this will be made apparent be-
! fore we are done with this business. II.
however, the over issue shall be fixed al
from $s. 10000 to $40, 900, 900, there
will be men, who Gull themseIvee

ground that it would be better to assume
these illegal and fraudulent impositione
than to decline to recognize them. We
meet this issue at once. We hold that
the citizens of South Carolina owe it tc
themselves and to their manhood, not te
submit to this fraud of swindlers and
robbers. The just and legal obligation.
OF the State should never be repudiate;.
We know full we'll tho value of credit
priOate and public. We appreciate full,
public honor.
AS Junius 30 we'll says: "Private ore

rare advantages, ana ID one OF tue most
progressive cities in the South. In the
first place, let us remark that her situa.
tion is excellent for beauty and drainage.
Situated on tho level lands near the Con.
garee, the rain water passes off on MI
sides, leaving the city dry and healthy.
The health Of the city is excellent. The
climate is fine. The garden spots and
farms in the vicinity are fertile. Colum-
bia is tho centre Of numerous railroads.
We have at our command water power
that is said to exceed that of Lowell
that is, after We have utilized our oppor-
tunities, it will exceed Lowell. In addi.
ton thereto, We have churches and
schools to meet religious and intellectual
wants. we have, also, numerous foun-
dries and machine shops; and an enter.
prising class of merchants and mechan-
ics. In fine, we present Columbia as q
Carolina city in all respects. worthy oi
the attention of settlers from abroad who
may como with honesty and capital, or
either. or both. In spite of great disad-
vantagcs. we are moving on, and we feel
sure that were we relieved OF the mis-
rnle and corruption that prevail in our
State. that this good oity would move on
and up with great strides. Even as it is,
we iDtend to go ahead. We hope for
better times and better chance. With
the removal OF Grants military law in
the up-country. with a redeemed State
government and more intelligent and
useful city regime, all of which we hope
to secure soon, there will be, we trust,
no obstruction in Columbias path way to
the larger and brighter destinies which
we trust God has in store for her. Let
our people, however, bear in mind what
their public duties are Let us cultivate
q liberal, generous public spirit, but
let us, nso, form o stern public opinion,
that will not tolerate domestic treachery
or official corruption. To US it will be
at onco pleasure and duty to further
every good work and to lend helping
hand in their enterprises to all good o;ti.
zens. without regard to party or color.
