COLUMBIA, April %.
tits now certainly known that none of the
newly engraved Blue Ridge scrip has arrived,
and it is further stated that none Will be paid
from the treasury until alter its receipt for
taxes. Many people having claims are hang
ing around the treasury, to-day, uselessly, and
the lodging of the treasurer, to escape the
multiludinous presence of the claimants, was
amusing. Even the judges have failed to get
their salaries. II is stated at the treasury de.
par.ment that 1t Is useless to think of getting
any money for schools until next autumn.
Much reliance seemed to be placed upon rev.
enue from delinquent sales by the department,
but less confidence is expressed by claimants.
Steers and Worthington, of the Blue Ridge
Ring, are here. Patterson, the wheel.horse
of that affair, is In Chattanooga.
Bankers and brokers who deal with the
treasury, In the way of business, carry a look
of farcical disgust at the present financial con-
dItion; while at the came time they and other
substantial residents express the most seri-
GUS fears as to the prospects of the future.
The determination to weed out the bar
nac!es upon the ship Of State Is daily strength
ening, even in their own party ranks, and the
demands of the taxpaying community are
pressing on every side. The policy now being
attic by the Radicals to shift their re.
sponslbility is ''too thin" to produce the result
they desire for political purposes. and there Is
a disposition among merchants to combine
with the taxpayers to demand a showing Of
what has been done with the peoples money.
Moderate Republicans acqulesce in this move

not turn from q leader whom they think safe,
In a probable emergency, to one who Is
doubtful or unsafe. They want assurance as
to future tranquility and peace, and theydo
not feel that this assurance Is to be had from
candidates who are The mere puppets OF
party, aud who are not, in fact, genuine
statesmen-wlse and cautious Ia view, and
decided and lmmovable In act. With such q
candidate, for instance, as Mr.. Adams or Judge
Trumbull, who are experienced, tried aud con.
ecientions, the effect upon the popular mind
would be very different from that produced by
names less familiar and imposing. The fear
of which we have spoken at The outset would
bs laid by the former, but aggravated by the
latter. No person of any sense would Imagine
the slightest danger from any quarter, were
the sturdy and careful steersmau of Massachu-
sets at the helm; but with q newer or weaker
hand, there might be room, II not for real APP
prehenslon, at least for those appeals to sppre.
hension which often produce the same result.
