IHE BILLS OF THE BANK OF TIE SITE.
In 1868. joint special committee of
the General Assembly was appointed to
inquire into the liabilities and assets of
the Bank Of the State. The late Thos.
r. Waring. then Cashier of the bank,
appeared before the committee, and
made tho following estimate of the
amount Of the outstanding issues:
Bills of 81 and upwards, dated prior
to 1860, Sl,63l,713; bills OF 81 and up
wards, dated since 1860, S9l2,9O7;
change bills. S795. .653 S3; total issues,
So. $40, 27383.
Mr.. Waring also made an estimate Of
tue probable amount of bills lost or de-
stroyed, which estimate. he states, is
based upon the long time the bank has
been III existence. the large proportion
OF issues OF 81 and under. and the pro-
bable losses attendant upon four years
OF war, and lie puts down the probable
loss OF old bills ut Sl0O, 900; probable
loss OF new bills at 500, 900; probable
loss of change bills at S278, $685. total,
SITS, 203. Leaving us the probable
total circulation on November /, 1868.
81, SCI, $50 SO.
Under the act to close the operations
of the Bank Of the State of South Ca
rolina, passed in 1868, bills to the
amount of 81, ,194, 1902 were converted
into State bonds. aud Messre. J. Fl.
K;.iney. B. A. Bosemon and Joseph
Crews. the special committee, reported,
under date Of October 16. 1869, that
these bills were received, examined
and destroyed" These bills must be
deducted from the amount reported by
Mr. Waring. It is known. also, that q
large proportion of the change bills,
issued after the beginning of the war,
were specifically made payable in our
rent funds. and do not, therefore, come
within the scope of the decision of the
Supreme Court. In the statement of
the affairs OF the bank. made by Presi.
dent William 3. Hastio, on October l.
1869, i. is shown that change bills, to
the amount OF $412, 5l4. 35, were issued
under the Act Of 1869. These must be
taken from the general account, which
will stand as follows: Mr. Warnings ssti-
mate, 1861, $780, 83; bills converted,
Sl94. 1872: change bills of 1863, 3412,-
Ola; total, S1.606.906; amount out
stantling, 1855. 074 83. The bills in
existence will not probably exceed $780,
600, which is the figure at which. they
are put by those who have carefully in
quired into the matter.

In the House of Representatives, yes
terday. Mr.. Smith, = of Spurtanburg,
concluded his speech on the financial
situation by recommending that, in
levying taxes, the Treasurer should be
authorized to receive only such bills Of
the Bank of the State. as were embraced
in the cases adiudicated by the Supreme
Court OF the United States. This
amount is said to be not more than
$780,
Mr.. N. B. Myers, of Beaufort, male
speech of strongly conservative cha
racter, in which he pointed out abuses,
advocated curtailmont of expenses, unl
urged upon the members of his party
that they should avoid dashing them
selves to pieces against the rock Of high
taxation. He maintained that it was
impract!cable to combat the decision of
the Supreme Court in relation to the
bills Of the Bank of the State. That
power was supreme and we arebound
by it. We must meet it. Upon the
subject of taxation ho insisted that the
people could not and would not pay o
heavy one; that the expenditures of the
Government must be deorsased; re-
trenchment must be had; it should
begin right in the House; the number
OF attacheess and employees are too
great, and the expenditures in every de-
partment must be decreased No con.
tingent fund should be placed at the
disposal Of the Governor or any other
officer of the State. unless the strictest
accountability were required.
Mr.. Myers further said that he had as
the last session opposed tho appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for tho militia, and
would venture to say that the whole
amount was drawn from the treasury
within ten days; also, that while in this
city last summer, he knew the fact that
Major. General of the militia presented
warrant for $500 on that appropria-
ton. and was told by the Treasurer tho
appropriation was over. paid. He was
opposed to contingent fund appropria-
tions as pleasure funds for officials.

The signs appear that the Radical
Republicans Of sthia State feel the re-
strairts Of oonssitation, laws and usagea
as impedinaents to their progress. or to
the consammation Of their special po.
lioies. Oar neighbor ut the other end
OF the avenue, some time ago, in dis
oussing the Orangeburg election. laid
down the doctrine that the will of the
people must be respected as the higher
law, and must not be impeded by regard
for forms or anything of the sort. While
much preferring Mr.. Andrews to his
competitor as Senator, and having no
doubt OF his fair election, we could but
notice this Radical doctrine as ominous.
The same sort Of loosencss crops out of
Mr. Chamberisin's speech in Charleston
on the contested election case. Where
the will of the people has been sub.
stantially expressed in an election, he
held that Irregularities and iIlegalities
should be overlooked. The law does
not regard theories, SO. Wo thought
the law provided mode and conditions
through which the will Of the people
was to be asoertained, and it could not
be ascertained otherwise. It is only
shrough compliance with certain forms,
through observance of certain fixed
conditions, such as in the Charleston
election, the publication OF the polling
places, the administration OF the plo-
per, and not mutilated oath, that any
conclusion can be reached at oil.
Several OF the mombers of the Legis-
lature' have lately exhibited the same
tendency. They ohafe under the deoi-
sion OF the Supreme Court of the United
States as to the bills Of the Bank of the
State. Having had their way SO long,
they find it not agreeable to meet any
impediment to it's continued sway.
Eowley. in the House of Representa-
kves, thought that there must be some
way for tho representatives of the sove.
reign people to avoid the dictation OF a
nasre court. and he was for seeking some
mode of relief. however unheard OF or
unconstitutional it might be. Things
had come to pretty psse, when in
functions on all sides rise up like lions
in the path of the great, radical, pro-
gressive South Carolina Legislaturei It
is pity that suoh an illustrious party
should have its free course thus inter-
fsred with. We venture mildly to sug-
gest that, as it is plainly growing too
large for its breeches. it had better alb.
dicate its powers. There are fields wide
enough in which some of its members
can make themselves eminently useful,
and these arc good, honest fields. too.
There is no discount and no impedi-
ment in the use of the shovel and the
hoe.
