TELEGRAM TO THE new YORK HERALD.

LONDON, March 80, 1871.
The proceedings Of Parliament have become quite
animated again.
MY report OF the legislative business which
was transacted in both houses this evening en-
braces the following facts for transmission to the
HERALD by cable:-
During the session Of the House Of Commons Mr.
Simon. member for Dewsbury, gave notice OF
motion questioning "the right Of the House OF Lords
to negative bill which has been passed by the
House Of Commons,n and expressing the opinion
that such action the part of the Lords is ncon-
sistent with system OF representation Of the peo-
ple.n
Sir Charles W. Dixie. member for Chelsea, in o
speech OF some length denounced the action OF Rus
sa in repudiatng the treaty Of Paris OF 1885, and also
the tone OF the despatch Of Prince Gortchakon, an
nouncing the abandonment OF the treaty. He
blamed Earl Granville for consenting to reopen the
Euxlne question in the London Conference and as
erted that sowing TO collusion between Russia and
Prussia, the present result OF the Conference was
inevitable, almost without debate.n
A petition was presented to the Commons bearing 6
the signatures OF quarter OF million Of persons,
asking the repeal Of the Contagious Diseases act

Observation-Disclosures:
The Convention OF taxpayers of this
State concluded its present business on
yesterday. apd. sitter a esssiop o. four
days, adjourned until again called to-
gesher under the resolution adopted by
the body. As our. readers are aware, we.
have not sought to intimate to the mem'
bers the course Of action which to US
seemed advisable. We felt satisfied that
the very able end patriotic men who had
assembled in earnest council would do
all that Was sagacious and be6tting, in
view Of the evils that they. came to con-
slider and alleyiats And. now that tho
Convention has done itsi Immediate
work, we would refer, orr readers to the
proceedings Of the body. that they may
themselves pass judgment upon it's
action. The Convention was composed
Of the best citizenship that the State
affords. It's deliberations were conduct
ed in grave, impartial and deliberate
spirit. No partiaan-like considerations
wefe permitted &C ;nfuasee ita patriotic
coqnsels. The public good was sought,
and tile honor and welfare Of South Ca.
rolina we're the paramount oonaidera-
tious.l Apart fr ,m any prnctical results.
we believe that this Convention must
accomplish great good, The moral
result must prove eminentIy advantage
Gus. \ The Convention has planted itself
upon high ground. Whilst fully recog-
nising the gross abuses ana great evils
connected with our political condition,
it makes no appeal to the spirit of vio-
lence. but invokes those moral forces
which 1t does not yet forego as the means
of relief aud the instruments OF reform.
It has exposed many,of the .unfayorable
and abnormal circumstances connected
with our local affirs. It has rebuked
the spirit Of pnblio corruption and
general mal7admfnistration. Il has made
important and valuable suggestions. It
has sought 70 strengthen and repair ths

lettering now once more to the sum
Of the funded debt. the mmittee deem
it proper to state that they had expected
to verify tho account by the evidences in
the Comptroller's office, but they were
disappointed. Tho Act OF August rs,
1868, authorizing an issue Of bonds for
the payment of the bills receivable Of
the State, provided that the bords
should be signed by the Governor and
the Treasurer. Subsequent Acts follow
cd the same course. Ia consequence,
thero is no record kept in tho Comp
troller's Office; tho preceding statement,
under the authority of this officer, is dc.
rived from the Treasurer. It is confirm
cd by tho Governor, who united with
tho Treasurer, Mr.. Parker, in giving to
the committee every assurance OF its
correctness. And it appears to your
committee that tho several issues and
sums Of bonds described, are OF un-
questionable legality and force as obliga-
tions of the State. It seems proper
further to explain that the bonds under
the ACT OF August 26. 1868, "ior the pay
ment Of tho interest on the public debt, :"
were at first Issued with the above words
embodied in the form OF the bonds.
That these words being deemed objec.
tionable. another set of bonds for like
amonnt (Sl. 900, ,000 was prepared and
executed, and wore sent to the Financial
Agent to supply the place OF tho obiec-
tionable issue. OF this objectionable
Issue OF bonds $500. 600 wero long since
ratnrned and cancelled, as appears by tho
assurances given to your committee by
tho Comptroller md Treasurer. Upon
the authority OF Mr.. Kimpton, Agent,
and Mr. Parker. Treasurer. it appears
also that a further sum OF S40O, coo has
been returned within fow days. These
have not yet beer cancelled. Mr.. Kimp-
ton also ASSURED the committee that tic
remaining $l00, 600 would soon bo ro-
turned; that there was not any longer
