Speech of @. o. Bowen, and others. I'm
the LeRislature-Our Resolve.
we invite attention to the report that
the Charleston Courier makes OF the
speeches OF Mr.. Bowen and others, upon
the question Of the impeachment OF
Scott and PARKER. Mr.. Bowen is himself
Radical. Yet read his speech. and it
will be seen how Southern Radicalism, as
illustrated by the present Radical re.
gi'ne, is condemned out of the mouths
OF its own party. We regret that this
paper has not given an abstract Of the
speeches made during the present session
OF the Legislature. We can, however,
now review the field, and say that the
speeches made on the part OF the prose-
cutors in the Legislature confirm all that
we have charged against the infamous
ring who have 80 plundered our people
and ruined the public credit. Nay.
more. The speeches OF Bowen and his
friends show that the Democratic press
| have fallen far short of the truth, and
that we have not half told of the cor
ruption and swindling Of the South Ca
rolina Radical officia!s On the other
hand, the speeches of Gov. Scott's and
Treasurer Parker's shameless. corrupt
and ignorant defenders are miserably
weak and full Of the effrontery OF men
who are both FOOLS and knaves.
Let not Scott, Parker, Chamberlain
and Kimpton think they are to escape.
The minority in the Legislature have
failed. The efforts of Bowen and Whip.
per, and others. seemingly disposed to
kill the ring, have failed. Corruption
and bribery have carried the day. Scott
has paid his way ont. But we tell him
and his co.swindlers, and co-oorruption.
lists, that neither he nor they are yet out
Of "the wilderness. The ministers oi
justice are upon their tracks. We sum.
mon our friends to the work. Whateve,
there is of honest purpose in the Legis.
lature to pursue the ring. we bid it moi
despair. The prosperity Of South Caro-
lima is involved. Under the present
regime. there can be no peace, no de.
velopment. no good for either the white
or negro masses. Nor is there any
doubt as to the result. We tell all the
people that the ring cannot, shall not
escape. The spirit that thus speaks viii
be found irresistible. The ring mus! b.
broken. The cause OF the people must
be made triumphant. II there be moi
legal strength enough in South Caroline
to accomplish the victory, we will go to
New York, to Ohio, and elsewhere, and
bring the O'Conors. the Stanberys and
the Barretts of the North to our de.
fence. We, for one. are indeed in earn
est; and we keep our eye upon the OBJ
iective point.

PHINEAS F. FRAZEE,
Notary Public.
SOUTH CAROLINA, RICHLAND County.
Personally appeared before me, ".
Hazard Wigg, who, being duly sworn.
made oath and saith as follows, to wit:
Upon casual inquiry made OF Mr. Par
klns, architect of the contempll tied City
Hall. in the Office of the Probate Court.
oy deponent, as to what he thought the
building would cost, he replied in words
very nearly, il not exactly, as follows:
In Atlanta. it could be built for $75. 600
or $0O. 600; but here in Columbia, find
DOTH labor and materials much more
costly. For instance, bricks can be
worked up in Atlanta at twelve dollars
per thousand; while here, they would
cost not cost less than twenty dollars per
thousand"
Deponent was present when Mr.. CLARK
Waring called at the Probate Office. to
procure the plan and Specifications of
the building, in order to prepare his bid.
and was told by Judge Wigg, that he
could not let them go out of the Office
during the day time, as they were liable
to bo applied for at any moment, by
persons desiring to make proposals. But,
said Judge Wigg, yon can have them
from the time the office closes in tho
afternoon, (half-past o'clock, } until it
opens again next day.
In compliance with this understand.

upon the deponent. at the residence OF
deponent's aon-in law, Mr.. Wragg, in
Bull street. about dark. that day, or very
shortly after, and asked for the said plan
and specifications; and deponent sent his
little son with the said Mr.. Waring to
the Probate Office, to get the said plan
ana spec'fioations, and to give them to
him, tho said Mr.. Warinp. and IL was
done; and about IL O'Clock of the day

in striking out the Roman Catholics, you
did nothing that was not according to

Senate passed, Thursday afternoon, bill ro.
ported by Senator Wilson, which provides
that all soldiers mustered into the United
States service for three years between May
A, 1861, and July %, 1861, aud who were
discharged, honorably, before serving two
years, by reason of disability contracted il
the service, are entitled to receive one humid

to about four thousand veterans or their heirs
who have been thus far deprived of the bounty
to which they were entitled, by rod.tape
decision that only forty out of the eighty.two
regiments mustered into the service at tha
time were authorized by law.

10 respect to the occupancy Of Paris, how.
ever the later dispatches from London an.
nounce that at the last moment, at the urgent
solicitation Of England, the idea to march
through Paris has beeu abandoned, and the
victorious army will only parade along the
southern part Of .he city.
These terms may seem severe, but certainly
they are no more than Germany has a right
to demand. In the matter of territory, in.
deed, justice to themselves could hardly allow
smallog demands than the Germans have
seen fit to make. Alsatia and Metz, the
dispatch stated somewhat ambiguously, are
to be coded to Germany, the probable mean
ing being Asata aud that portion Of Lorraine
on the right bank Of the Moselle. This much
Of territory it has been evident ever since
Sedan the Germans would demand and the
sober judgment of the world has justified
them in the demand. The money indemnity
imposed is now stated at 5000 900 600 francs
or sl,OOO,O0O,000 in gold 1t is not i'm
possible that fuller reports will show that
from this total are to be deducted the requisi-
tions which have been made upon Paris and
other cities.
In Paris all appear to be happy at the
idea that at last this cruel war is over, for
there seems to be very little doubt that the
Assembly will ratify whatever has been agreed
upon at Versailles.

The sum of sl622O.49 is for uniforms,

This sum cannot be reimbursed to the State

is, in the opinion Of the Auditor, unjust, and
should be rescinded or modified Deductinp
the above sum, the balance remaining is s43..
l7O.S3, most Of which is suspended for want
ofproof and vouchers. Some portions of the
balance cannot be reimbursed under the pres
ent law, as they are improper charges. The
Auditor thinks nearly half of this sum may
fail for want of proof and proper vouchers

come within the rules of the department
The Auditor is now engaged in procuring the
