Tho F.siis =ssss 81. .ass DO Increased.
at the last general election in this
State, nj sndpeltaoi i:the Constitu-
tion was submitted. to the voters, that
any increase OF tbs public debt should
foreyeE bspsohibited. Itwas duly adopt
ed BY the people, ratified and pro.
claimed, and is part Of the fundamental
law. We think it excludes from reoog-
nitior what is known as the conversion
bonds. II was not contemplated by the
Act Of Marol %, 1869. for the conver.
sion oflStase securities that anything
more 'shonld be done under it than to
change ths YSlmoi pre- eexisting obliga-
tions. The entire amount Of bonds
issued under itwass 81, 576, 500, of which,
according to the statement in the Co.
vernor's message. only 81. .811 500 were
issued in conformity With the parpose
and "a provisions of, thu Act;1s1Aat sum
does NOT represent On increase OF the
debt. The remainder, amounting to
SIS, ,965. 600, according to the snme au-
thority, represents an actual increase OF
the public debt. The. allegations in re-
ference TO the fraudulent manner in
which they were issued, and the moro
than doubtful purpose they were used
for. the Governor mildly says he cannot
assert ''are' entirely at variance with the
facts" Still; it is an admission that
they violate the Act, aud are illegal, and
not binding.
When the Governor comes to specific
recommendations. We find, inconsist.
emily with previous admissions, one
that this class of bonds, amounting to
nearly Sc, 600, 600, shall be recognized
as valid, and, upon their, surrender by
the holders. that they shall receive in
lieu thereof new bonds or certificates of
stock, equal in amount to - OF the
face value of such surrendered bonds.
This is palpable Recommendation to
increase the public debt. It will not do
to say that the debt already exists.
Debt can only be contacted for value
received, in strict conformity to Ac.s
which authorize, IL to be made. No
debt can be legally made under the Act
of March %; 1859. That is the only
warrant of the Financial Board, and it
expressly limits. thsir powers to convor-
sion Of bonds, decentralization, i. e.,
merely Of one form Of bond for an
other. not the creation of new debt.
Tie knowledge Of the proceedings of
the Financial. Board is just now coming
authoritatively to- the Legislature and
the country. They attempted to make
a debt, but did not ia it really. The
Legislature -can no more increase the
public debt than could the Financial
Board. and FOR even q better reason
than the one We have characterized as
insufficient in their case. That ia just
what it will, attempt to do, if it legiti.

nIr, Gasrry's Pictures.

MR EDITOR: III your reaQerS nave
carefully noticed the paintings executed
by our talented young townaman, Mr..
Albert Query, they cannot fail to have
observed his constant improvement as
an artist. as shown ia the steady ad-
7anoement towards perfection in the
paintings that have come snccessively
from his skillful brush. When the por-
trait of General Lee was exhibited some
months ago, We supposed that the
marked SUCCESS Of the artist was owing
either to an unusual effort on his part,
or to q happy "hit," which might not
OCCUR again; but his later pictures aro
undoubtedly superior to that of the
great Confederate chieftain. Those of
Col. Ohilds and DR.. Landrum impressed
US as almost faultless. and yet his last.
the portrait of DR.. Plumer, is, beyond
question, the best of all. 1t is triumph
OF art. The attitude, the coloripg, the
surroundings, the faithfulness of the
likeness, its life-like appearance, but.
above all, the expression of the oounte-
nance, in which you can almost read the
thought beneath, all show that the can
vas has been touched by master-hRnd.
A pupil of Scarborough and OF Irving.
Mr.. Query rivals I've will not say ezcels)
his teachers. It has been suggested
that the paintings Of these distinguished
artists might be exhibited in contrast
with those of their pupil. We would
be pleased to see this idea carried out,
and feel sure that this severe test OF our
young artists skill would result in his
favor.
Mr.. Query has theory of his own
in regard to painting theory entirely
different from that of his teachers, and
one which we do not profess to under
stand. But we do profess to be able to
appreciate that theory when it is worked
out on canvas in snch pictures as those
that are now on exhibition at Bryan's
bookstore.
The thought has frequently occurred
to us that the rule, "a prophet is not
without honor, save in his own conn-
try" may apply, and does. in q peculiar
manner, apply, to artists. II it should
be 80 in this instance, it will not be to
the credit of our city. Such pictures
cost in New York, we are crsdibly in
formed, from $1,000 to $2,0OO-ten,
twenty times the amount for which Mr..
Query is offering to furnish them here.
Aud, perhaps, q few years hence, when
the increasing reputation of our young
friend will warrant his charging 'iancy"
prices, some of our citizens will be glad
70 pay 1000 for that for which they
now hesitate to pay $l00.
A writer in the PH3Nfx, Of yesterday,
states that Mr. Query has decided to
remove from his native State. We sim
cerely trust that this statement is moor.
rect. The Withdrawal OF nearly dozen
Ordera owing to the present unpstlai
stringency in money matters, may have
discouraged him. as it is certainly cal.
oulated to do; but it would be unfortu-
nate if it should load him to abandon
his State. Our people should not per-
nit it. Those who have the soul to ap-
preciate art, and the means to patronize
it, should say they will not let him 60.

GEN. JOE. JOHNSTON ON THE War;
At last we are to have from one of the
greatest- perhaps tho greatest-.of
Southern Generals his account of the
war. We refer to Gen. Joseph E. John
ston, whose history of his campaigns is
soon to be published in an octave
volume by the Appletons. 1t is to be
cmbellished with portraits of distin-
guishcd officers and maps of the various
scenes of operations. Referring to the
forthcoming work, tho New York World
says: "This is cafcful and deliberate
account from the pen Of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, of the Confederate army, Of
the events which preceded his removal
from the command of the Southern
forces operating against Gen. Sherman
in Tennessee and Northern Georgia.
Military men have long beer aware 7of
the decisive effect of that removal in
favor of Sherman and of the Union
cause. It was the personal act of Jeffer-
son Davis, resolved upon and cnrried
out by him in defiance of tho counsel
and in contempt of the remonstrances
of the ablest soldiers of the Southern
army; aud as Gen. Johnston can have
no motive now for withholding tho
whole truth in regard to the matter, the
story ho has to tell will have real
value for the political as we'll as for the
military history of the great American
conflict"

The Sumter Watchnan demonstrates lne

monopolIzed by the North, and the Southern
States had nothing but the cultivation Oh

was brought about by. slavery chlehy. "niee
labor was necessary for manufactures. the
spell is now broken; slavery is abolished, white
laborers throng the country with willing hearts
and ready hands, and now Is the time LOT

The Columbia Phsnir speaks In glowing
terms of the many benefits which accrue 10
those towns in which manufactures are es-
tabllshed. The wages paid hands every week,
1t says, go 10 the support OF stores, shops,
schools, churches, farms and garden. Lille and
animation follow the diversity Of pursuits,
az created In manufacturing establishments.
It is true that this sort of prosperity is relard-
| ed In the State by the refusal Of the .e2isla-
ture to exempt manufacturing capital from
taxation; but it ls confidently hoped that this
| will be remedied on the reaesembing of the
State Legislature, when the'people will, 1t be-
