THE BRUTRs.

The utterly lsmentable condition into
which Soath Carolina has fallen since
the inroad of the carpet-baggers, is de-
picted by correspondent OF the New
York Tribune in vivid terms. The story
Is an oft told tale, but loses none Of its
horror by repetition The writer des-
cribes the thieves and miscreants who
lean and manage the Legislature and
State Government, and shows how they
control the ignorant and corrupt indivi-
daaIs who comprise the gsest body Of the
Legislature, and who are bought end sold

themselves Only in the light Ct employees

MILLION STOLEN.

Unless the New York Sun is mons
trous falsifer, one of the members of the
Cabinet is the biggest public robber on
record. 1t is the most outspoken paper
in the country, and is bold enough for
any emergency This is ITS last on 10
beson: AS We have already stated, we
have only begun to explore the robberies
Of George NJ. Robson. We have at our
command, and have established by de-
tailed evidence, the full particulars OF
only a few Of them. Accordingly, we
are not able to say with exactness how
much money he has stolen from the
Treasury; but, taking the facts already
within our knowledge. rough cslcula-
ton shows that his robberies do not
amount to less than one million four
hundred thousand dollars.
