GENERAL JOSEPH e. JOHNSTON FOR
GREELEY.-The st. Louis Times, of the
4th, publishes the following letter from
General Joseph E. Johnston, dated
Charlotte, Va, July 81, to Colonel j. K.
Ashley, of Bates County, Mo-, in which
he says:
"Assure all our old comrades that you
communicate with, that the story of the
Cincinnati Commercial is false I have
had no consultation with W. s. Robin
son, of Charlottesville. on any subject;
have never said anything favoring
Grants reelection. On the contrary.
being thorough Democrat. I would
have preferred Democratic candidate;
but as Horace Greeley is nominated by
our party, sincerely hope every Demo
orat will vote for him. Being disfran-
chised, take no public part in politics,
but to my friends, do not hesitate to
express my feelings and opinion on po.
litioal SUBJECTS. I think the overthrow
Of the present Administration necessary
to any hope OF constitutional govern
ment."

That wonderful work now going on
under the waters OF New York harbor-
the entire removal OF He'll Gate rocks-is
more than half completed. Shafts have
been sunk and side excavations made
until over 5000 feet Of tunneling now
branches ont in every direction. The
last explosion, when among the rocks are
stored the terrible forces of nitro. o.glyoe-
rine in large quantities, will be one OF
the most powerful ever known. The
Golfer. dam will be ont, and, as it is easier
to raise weight under water than
above it. the shaft and mine will be
flooded, and with the discharge Of the
electric spark the dangers Of He'll Gate
will no longer exist. But should the ex-
plosion by any accident not prove sue
oessful, or, indeed, if it should never
take place. there will still be sufficient
room for the largest ocean steamers to
pass through after the coffer-dam shall
have been cut.

LooK no TuE TREASURY OF YOUR SrArE.

LOOK TO TIE TREASURY OF YOUR STATE,
FELLOW CITIZENS. question of the
future SUCCESS of the State hinges on the
future financial measures which shall be
iDaugurated by those who may be ele.
waited to the honored positions OF execu.
tive officers. The exhibit made by our
late Treasurer does not warrant the
country in casting into his hands the
keys OF our safes for four years longer.
If the exhibits are correct, then one of
two things is true: First, either Mr.. Par
ker is incompetent to guide the Treasury
affairs, or else he is dishonest. That he
is competent, none will deny, for his fine
horses and style OF living prove him o
his Blue Ridge Railroad operations, his
Greenville Railroad manipulutions, his
other operations in the way of business,
show that he has been successful tinun-
oier for himself aud his frieuds. 1t can
not be said that he is incompetent to
devise plans of success. The question
now turns on tue reason of his failures.
1t is attributed to the paying of the
enormous State debt interests which
have been incurred Oh the bonds, but
that has not been paid; to the enormous
legislative expenditures, but these have
not been paid; to the paying of salaries
of officers, but these have not been paid !;
to paying the legislators their certif-
Gates, but they have not got their money,
AMI hundreds of them are in pawn tor
money; but they say for printing bills,
but none of them have been paid of any
consequence. But there are the enor-
nous expenditures of the Speaker Of the
House in issuing certificates to so many
employees; but none of these are paid
yet. The judges have not been paid,
the salaried officers of the State have not
been paid, the bills of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum and all others have not
Deen paid; the Governor and Lieute-
nant- Governor have had no salary, the
bond-holders are bringing suits for their
interests; every County Treasurer swears
that they have paid over every dollar to
the State Treasurer, and yet there is no
money in the Treasury.
The schools are closed, and the teach
ers have not been paid for nine months;
no obligations of the State have been
paid, and for year, such as ought to
have been paid; and yet there has been
collected taxes to the amount of nearly
81. 600, 600. besides the license tax and
the enormous penalty imposed on the
people. With thia vast amount ut his
disposal, no obligations met, and he is
still crying, "Tax them! tax them! They
don't pay half enough taxesT' With the
ham mer knocking off poor widows and
orphan children's homes for taxes, with
honest mems property sold. while they
hold in their pocket their tax receipts.
Can the people of South Carolina trust
such public servants longer? From the
mountain to the sea-board, let the peo-
pie thunder the echo back: No! No! |
Neverl Fellow -citizens! look to your
Treasury Missionary Record.

The Luantic Asylum.

This institution, we are informed. is
ia a most distressing condition from
want of funds. The Superintendent
does not know one week where he will
got bread for the inmates the next, and
is constantly kept in dread that he may
be compelled at any time to turn the 300
lunatics he has in charge adrift upon the
community, or else starve them to death
IN their cells. Was there ever before in
the history of the world such state of
affairs in q civilized State? All the
taxes of the people, amounting to
100000, has been squandered in the
payment of certificates for legislative
expenses, four-ffths, at least, of which
were fraudulent or downright forgeries.
For legitimate expenses-the support of
the Lunatio Asylum. than which there
can be no higher duty upon the State,
