STATE INVESTMENT AND INSURANCE
COMPANY NY--Th;s most successful COM
pany will, we are assured, declare its
second monthly dividend at the next
meeting of the Directors, fixed for the
9Th inst. In the short period of fifteen
months, the State Investment has fully
established itself in public favor and
confidence, and. as is seen. is a paying
institution. And this is the result of
judicions business management; of
prompt action in the acceptance of z
..rds, and of the like good quality in the
settlement of losses-a course of pro-
ceedings that never fails of the most
benefclent results. The capital of two
nundred thousand dollars is shown to
be most advantageously invested: and
the excess of earnings reaches the hand
,ome sum of aeventy-four thousand dol
ars. We cannot but feel gratifed at
the results of the business of this com
pany, as 1t is one of the few of our 10
al institutions that have made decid
ed success. and this is the more graft
Tying, as it business ope ations are
coufned to this State, and the capital
Ind surplus invested in our midst, thus
.tfording an immediate present security
all those who do business with it.
We commend the State investment to
he attention of the business communi
ty. and venture. the opinion that the
Company will, under the present man.
gemeet, take rank among the most
f med of our local institutions.

According to a correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing from Colum-
bla, South Carolina, thecondition of the
Palmetto State is pitiful indeed. Ac-
cording to his account the chief business
of those in ofice and their friends, is
stealing. or rather. robbery of the rev
enue of the State by every possible
means. One reason only will prevent
the present State organization from be-
ing the greatest set of rascals that ever
had the control of the Stateis, that their
predecessors so thoroughly robbed. stole
and appropriated everything that they
could possibly lay their hands on, that
tie present thieves can find but little to
steal. Taxes are are not diminished at
all. Four hundred tho-s sand dollars
formerly was sufficient sum for Stcte
expenditures: now two millions are an
nually raised. The Governor. ON a sal
ary OF three thousand five hundred DOL
lars, lives at rate of expenditure Of
from thirty to forty thousand. For
twenty years past, up to the time of the
thieves, the State stationary bill amount
ed to about $40O; last year it was SIG,
600. About all the newspapers are sub-
sidized. receiving from one to seven
thousand dollars each at time. The
printing bills last year amount to $500,
600. There are reported many living in
Columbia with fortunes of half rlil
lion, which they have obtained by this
kind of stealing
