that the reports are not more satisfao-
tory, and that ne is unable. under the
present condition OF our finances, to
make recommendations looking to
improvement in the future. He
also hopes, perhaps vainly, he says,
that the future plans of the Finan.
cial Board will work out our relief as
rapidly as those pursued in the past
have increased our State debt. Again
he comes at Scott and the Financial
Board: II am both disappointed and
surprised at the enormous amount OF our
funded debt" Now, we think it is time
for Scott & Go. to pause and think, and
see what is to be done. when so much
regret. 80 much grief, 30 much surprise
and disappointment, such intense an
guish, in fact. are felt and thus expressed
by one of their late confederates at their
carvings on. What shall be done to
quiet the poignant sufferings OF Noagle?
His despondency as to the public inte-
rests and funds aeems deeply founded
and overwhelming. He would. indeed,
be jealous and credulous in tho extreme
who would expect any good to the State
to como out Of plans proposed or en-
gineered by Scott, Chamberlain and
Parker. This Comptroller is clearly tired
of his company, and wishes, like Sterne's
startling, to ''get out" of the Gage, We
are told by IN old writer that to will the
same thing and to have the same eaversion
is friendship ("idena uelle atgue noNe
amicitia est.") These people do not
any longer reNe and noRe the same thing,
or rather they do uene and noNe tho Same
thing, viz: the public money, but are in
each others way in grabbing it. Scott
may block Neagle's game, and Neagle
may be an obstacle rather than of any
further use to Scott. At any rate, they
do not draw any longer together. The
team is broken up, and each nag goes
careering his own way. Scott has reason
to lament the broken ties of friendship,
aud to cry out to be saved from his
friends. The wretch is left to weep and
to mutter, "Oall you that backing of
your friends?"

r. X. Scott, our imported Governor,
is not at all premature in his prepara-
tions for removing his domicil to Ohio.
Possibly some of tho smart towns of thnt
fourishing State may in future days
contend with each other for the glory OF
having given him birth. Such Homeric
honors may await him there, but it is
certainly not likely that any similar pos
thumous distinction will ever be pnid to
him here Rather, it may be taken for
granted thGt there will be no dissenting
voice in this latitude to his speedy return
now, or very soon, to his native land.
And when he slullles off this mortal
coil, we anticipate that the mourning
expenses will be small an d the grief not
inconsolnble in "our beloved State" of
South Carolina.
Even his friends are fnlling away from
him rapidly. The rats are instinctiveIy
deserting tho sinking ship. Whittemore
and Leslie in the Senate, Bowen, Hur-
ley, Whipper and Frost in the House,
Kimpton and his segment of the ring in
New York, Daddy Cain. of the Mission
ary Record of Charleston, have all
opened upon him, and are pouring thick
and heavy broadsides into his already
damaged hulk. And now--most unkind-
est cnt of all-his Abide Cump, Major
Martin r. Delaney. OF his personal staff,
informs him, through the public prints,
that he cannot any longer CONTINUE re-
lations" with him, "without compro.
misc Of principle" all owing to 'facts
the most palpable." All which proves.
Mr.. Scott, of Napoleon, Ohio, that facts
are stubborn and demnition unpleasant
things.
The most damaging and damning ex.
position We have seen is tlyat Of Comp
troller General Neagle, who, while exc.
nerating himself from blame in tho
premises. expresses his regret mt tho long
delay in sending in tho reports OF the

officer requested it. for the reason that
no Legislative committee had ever exam
lned them, and he earnestly desired it..
We found every bond agreeing in
amount, series aud number, with the
duplicate receipt given each company,
and the entry made on the books Of the
Office, aud also found that they agreed in
the aggregate with the amount required
of each company doing business in the
State.

duty for which they were appointed, re-
speotfully ask to be discharged.

Minority Representation.

The propriety of the adoption of this
principle in all governments which base
their rights upon the consent of the
governed, nay, even it's necessity, in
order to render stable and perpetuate
the freedom of republican institutions,
has long been acknowledged and advo-
GATED by all able and unbiased thinkers
and writer's upon political philosophy.
Our own immortal Calhoun. in his great
work on government, has lent the power
of his resistless logic to its support; for
the resultant of minority representation
is the rule Of that concurrent majority
aimed ut by our illustrious statesman.
It's business and expediency are indeed
unquestionable, for it embraces at once
the best policy and the highest princi-
pie, if, indeed, these terms be not syno-
nymous The simplest, most intelligi-
BILE and practicable method of bringing
this governmental principle into opera
tiop, is by the plan of cumulative voting.
In this way-which is now very generally
understood-each voter is allowed to
cast as many ballots Us there are candi-
dntes to be elected, for the same Office;
as, for instance, members of the Legis-
lature. Congressman, municipa. officials,
&C., and to mass them upon one or
apportion them among the respective
candidates, ns he mey desire.
A resolution to submit an amendment
to the Constitution, engrafting this wise
provision upon our fundamental law, to
the people at the next general election.
has been introduced into the Senate, and
bides its time upon the calendar. Should
it become q law, it will undoubtedly
prove most beneficial, and we shall feel
constrained 10 admit that We nre in
debted, in measure, ut least, to Radi-
calism for one act of wise legislation.
Cumulative voting will fall far short of
working complete cnre of the many
diseases that afflict our body polite;
but it's conservative influences will be
felt in all the departments of the State
Government. aud will disarm designing
demagognes of half their power. Though
VIZ may not hope that through its instrn
mentality the intelligence and virtue Of
the State will control aud direct legisla-
tion, still, we are convinced that suf1i-
ciently potent negative strength can be
brought into play to defeat oil pernioious
schemes and extravagant waste OF the
public funds. Did we think that our
wishes, or the interests of those we rep
resent, would weigh feathers weight in
the minds of our present lawmakers, we
would urge the passage of this resolu-
ton. But as it is, we have scarce hopo
of the adoption Of the resolution; or, in
the event that the resolution be adopted,
that the proposed amendment will ever
he ratified.

The ARLINGTON EsTATE.-Mrs. Lee,
widow Of General Robert e. Lee, has
presented petition to Congress, asking
that an appropriation be made to pur-
chase the Arlington estate from her,
whereupon she will give the Govern
ment clear title. This estate was the
property Of Mrs Lee, not of her hus.
band, hnving been bequeathed to her by
her father, Geo. w. Z. GUSTS, in 1857.
and occupied by herself and family until
tho commencement Of the late civil war
1t was sold for non-payment Of direct
tax Of S02 OF, and, by order Of President
Lincoln, bid in by the United Suites
Government for S2G.SOO, no portion of
which sum bus ever been paid to the
owner of the property. The petitioner,
after reciting these facts. argues that
they were insufficient to pass valid
title to the United States, for legal aud
constitutional reasons which ara given,
and it is also asserted that tho amount
Of Tho tax was duly rendered to tho lax
commissioner before the sale. It is diff
fcult, therefore, to see how the petition
can be refused, unless law and justice
nre to be alike disregarded bccansu the
petitioner is the widow of Gen. Leo.
Even if Arlington had belonged to Gen.
Lee, insteDd Of being his wife's inherit
mnce, Congress ought to be ashamed to
porpetuato now an act Of spoiiation in
cident to, and perhaps excusnble by,
the necessities of war, which has no
semblance of legal or constitutional war
rant III time Of peace, TO say nothing Of
good morals aud equity. Bnt it is the
Cuslis estate, descended to lady of that
family, in which Gen. Lee had no fur
ther interest than by marriage. We
cannot bat assume such sense of Justice
in Congress, aud sensibility TO appreci.
ate the attachment of q child to the
homo Of her father. as will lead to the
giving Of some sort Of equivalent TO
Mrs. Lee for her property. Congress
Gun now afford to be mngnnnimons, and
can acquire reputation for that quality
by being just. The holding Of property
by mere tax title, giving the owner no
opportunity to redeem it, is not consid-
cred proper among individuals, and i.
is not generally allowed. How much
more improper, then, is it in groat Go
vcrnmcnt to do such thing? Had tho
property been General Lees in his own
right, and confiscated on account Of par
ticipation in rebellion, it would have re-.
vorted, under tho law. to his heirs at his
death. Let the widow, then, have her
own or it's Observation-Disclosures San.
