Observer does not publish pictures but

THE Giant Printing swindIes.

The Port, Royal Commercial is q Radi-
caLnewspaper which. has a wide-awake
Columbia correspondent who is zone Of
the staunchest Radicals in the State"
This staunch Radical analyzes the lately
published report of the state treasurer :
He finds that, in the first place, taxes were
last year three mills more than any year
ofsthe previous administration, and were
five mills more than the average yearly
tax levy under the Scott regime. The
next discovery is that the Printing for the
year 1873 cost $64O,OO6, and the legisla-
tive expenses $3.50, ,S42, making grand
total of $l,OO0,S4S. The correspondent
says: Aa
"The receipts by the state treasurer are
reported at 81, ,7l972S 81; all of which
has been disbursed according to appropri-
ations, and there remains due and un-
paid, for want of funds under appropria-
tions, $S29,527, 27; a total expense. Of
2,549, ,255 Fl for the fiscal year of this ad-
ministration. - -
"In this immense amount it will be OBJ
served that there are only two items for
interest. One of them is for 81 ,672 paid
on the agricultural college bonds, and
the other is somewhat mysterious item
of S4,44o. payment Of interest on land
commission bonds total payment Of in
teiest of only Sl2,ll2. There was also
paid of deficiencies Of previous year $780,
Sl5 for schools, $2l, ,S98 80 for legislative
expenses of .lS70-'7l-'72 The, total ex-
pense then Of this first year of the re-
form Republican party OF South Carroll

is u hundred to one against US. Each year
these two drains upon the State have be-
come more and more. 1t can be shown
that the paid and anpaid printing claims
haze s.0ulloved up nearly the whole
ansoat,.t raised from. taxation during the
past fve gears. The other expenses had
to be met by the sale of bonds" -
This is the evidence OF Radical, not OF
Democrat. The Legislature and the
Printing have swallowed up nearly the
whole amount raised from taxation. It is
time that the hand of every honest man
was raised against legislative extravaganza
and against the Credit Mobilier Republi-
can Printing Company, the Father of all
Swindles, the fertile source of corruption

REFoRMlNG TIE POLICE COURrs.

T0 fhe Edtfor Of Ths Tribune.
SR Allow me TO call your attention 10 the fact
that your article of this morning on Judiciary he-
form ia founded upon misrepresentation OF tact'
which has inadvertently caused you 70 do injustice
to those who have been engaged in promoting the
bill reported in the Assembly for the reform Ot our
Police Courts. That bill provides that the Justices
to DO selected under It shall be nominated by the
Mayor and confirmed by the Justices of tbe Superior
Court so that neither tue Council of Political Re
FORM nor any of the gentlemen who have promoted
the passage Of the bill can have any patronage from
it, or lose any by reason of the Police Justice
bills TO which you refer. 1t is no part of my pnr-
pose to consider the connection of patronage. If 1t
has any with these new bills and hardly neod as
sure you that shall be glad to support any legsla-
ton. regardless of the quarter from which it may
have come that seems adequate 10 accomplish the
reform 80 much needed. And am your obedlent
servant. ID. B. EAroS.
No. East Hrenty -Riafh-d.. March IA. 1873
[Mr. Eaton always deserves the most respectful
attention as a Reforner who wants Reform for IFS
own sake not for tho sake Of Office. We cannot say
IA much for some of bis associates in the Council
of Political Reform and we may be pardoned for
looking with Jealous eyes at their work. In thus
case we were entirely right in speaking OF the dis
pute about patronage. The Custorn-house
Republicans want il bestowed in one quarter the
Council" in another. We care more about the
reform than about the disposition Of the patronage
under it. But we should counsel the Legislature to
give great confidence to any representations Mr.
