BSy"Thc administration seem to think
they have an elephant on their hands by
the conviction and sentence of Allen; the
Grceuville treasurer. The usual methods
arc now active to manufacture an excuse
for his pardon. The party press speak
of him as frank. fearless friend Of the
people" and assert that what he did was
Tin their interests" To praise Allen
for his acts and laud the treasurer for his
prosecution, would seem difficult to any
one but a partisanedi,or. The probabili-
ty is Allen knows thing or two which
it is we'll to hush up. In our opinion his
crime consisted in getting even with the
state which pays no bills without q shave.

The Largest Bona Eide Circulation.
The Sin and the Sinners.

The comptro'er general asserts that
seven millions Of South Carolina bonds
are on the market without authority OF
law. Ifthcse bonds are fraudulent, the
men who signed, sealad and issued them
arc guilty ola felony.
If they were issued without authority
of law, then the men who issued them in
the name of the state, were guilty OF
malfeasauce in Office. The comptroller
reports that large amount Of bonds, re-
cciyed in exchange for conversion bonds
and thus redeemed and paid, instead of
being cancelled were again issued, sold or
hypothecated.
If this is true, palpable fraud was
committed: No crrpr ofjudgmcnt could
he pleaded in mitigation of such an act.
The attorney general does not hesitate
to plead the fraudulent character ofscme
Of the bonds as a.rcasou. why manda-
mus shoull not issue against his client
the comptroller. fhc believes thus why
does he not proceed to prosecute those
who committed the fraud and who were
guilty of such an enormous malfcasance
in office.
The men responsible for the issuance
orttese bonds are not unknown. We do
not believe that bond was placed on the
market without the knowledge and con-
sent of the financial board. Certainly
We never, heard ola protest against them
until just before the election.
IF the state expects to be able to make
a compromise with the holders of these
so-called fraudulent bonds, the prosecu-
ton ofthe men guilty Of the crime must
be commenced and encrgetically pushed
10 a conviction. To assert tho crime and
excuse the criminals will not be permit,
ted. No better proof could be given OF
the non-liability Of the state, for thUse
londs than the conviction of those who
uerpetratcd the fraud. The administra-
ton can gain no eclat for fighting the
.bondholders while protecting those who
put off the bogus bonds. No one will
believe that it hates the sin while. it
shows it's love for the sinners. OF the
conversion bonds, issued without authori'
ty of law according totho attorney gen.
eral and the comptroller, no one could
have been sold or hypothecatod without
the signatures of the governor and treas
urcr and the seal Of the secretary OF state.
We have frequently been assured that a
written opinion, asserting the lawtulnesS
Of the act was secured in every case from
the attorney general. Now, II. X.
Scott has not fed the state. Niles U.
Parker may be seen any fine day IN front
Of his elegant new ball. The portly lorm
off. u. C,rdo2o, now graccs the treas
urer's ,efFcc. And the attorney general
knows the whereabouts Of his own law
partner, ID. II. Chamberlain.

interruitted by fishing, and visits across
the bay 10 our fellow soldiers at Fort
Walker, on Hilton Head, where portion
of our regiment was also stationed. Four
six pound guns Of our field battery were
entrenched about mile TO the eastward
Of Fort Beauregard, at place called the
narrows, where the island Is nearly cut in
two by the encroachments Of the sea.
This was intended to chock the approach
of parties which might be landed from
the blockaders at Trenchard's the eastern
extremity Of the island. This entrench-
ment was guarded by the "Colleton Rifles" J"
a company from our adjoining county.
Fifteen or twenty mounted videtetrs com
pleted our military strength. In addition
to the regular rations issued to the troops,
the generous planters sent frequent con.
tributions of fresh meats and other provi-
sions to our camp. A dispatch boat kept
ND constant communication with Beaufort,
80 that the lardships Of camp life were
greatly ameliorated. Thus circumstanced
it is presumed that. until driven from the
island by Admiral Dupont's powerful fleet,
the troops on Bay Point were more com
,fortably situated than any others in the
service. Alas those comforts were des.
tined to be of short,-too sh ort, continu-
ance The day was fastnpHoaching when
they must forever abandon their supposed
stronghold ; and those most dear to them
be driven into exile, from which there was
to be no return TO their deserted hemes
The sequel will show the expulsion of
these luckless exiles and the subsequent
fate Of many inoffensive victims. Then,
for the first time in the history Of civilized
man, was the abandonment Of property
treated as political offence; nay public
crime.

Pap.

The onion Herald, Of Columbia, re-
sents a fling of the Charleston Ne'os
abeut the former being sustained by pub
lie pepr as follows.
Is it not fact that the Democratic
newspapers have had nearly two. thirds
of the public printing! Is the Daty
Nevs not satisfied with tic amount OF
the bills it has presented against the
treasury, nor with the amount OF IT'S
other bills on the score of its being ,he
official paper for Charleston county Has
il not had pap" enough?
The Herald then assu's, hu!y we
think. that so-callcd democratic papers
have had as much OF more pap than
republican. papers.
We hope that theIepublicau party will
follow the advice of the Herdk(, and
confue, as far as possible, all pap to its
own partisan journals. When that is
done We may be able to see some lnde'
pendent criticism Of the acts OF the All
miuistration. The people are absolutely
sick Of the Mandy pamby tone OF papers
like the Necs and Phoc"ic, which pre-
tend to be in the opposition while, the
hated breath with which they speak
of some of the most reckless political
knaves in the south, proves them to Ge
alive to the source whence comes avery
nnportant item Of their incunc No

ton, it is having most successful career.
Few companies north or south can show
so good business, relative, of last year.
The increase oinew business i'll 1872 over
1871 WAS ile policies, $l2i,S24 amount

tai income receipts were $l,2jO, 9Ol, and
is distributed among the widows and
children of poiicyho!lcrs the large sum Of

new year the rush of business has been
greater than ever, the number of policies
taken out in February alone being 435
and the risks on them being 81 900, 900.
All this j. evidence Of the high cStima-

pE9.- The Charleston Bulletin claims
that the state ought to assrme the posi-
tion of commercial bankrupt and en-
deavor to make composition with the
holders of its bonds. But the state is
not bankrupt. Enough money has been
raised during the last four years if hon
estly used, to pay all the expenses of the
state and the interest on its bonds also.
If bankrupt proposed to compromise
with his creditors, claiming an inability
to pay in full, and yet persisted In a
course of extravgant and riotous living,
would he find his creditors disposed to
release him2 Not a. all. Such leniencg
is an encouragement to yillany.

TuE BABY Shows TO NIsIToRs.-lt Is al
odd fact, no baby ever did and no baby ever
will behave in company. The moi hct
always brings it into the parlor where the
visitor i. dressed in It's clean dress, ana lis
father and lis aunt come III smiling III Inc
game time. After the visitor has kissed the
laly and taken Il on her lap. and declared IL
i the dearest little thing she ever saw, tie
baby's mother and she begin to talk. Each
talks about her own baby a> fast Is she can
rattle, and both talk at once apparently VII II
out caring what the other Is saying. In the
midst Of the conversation the baby throws
ND" on the visitors dress, and is suddenly
handed to It's mother.
The visitor smiles Il sickly smile, and says
il makes no difference; but she is mad. The
conversation is resumed, but presently the
father winks furiously at the mother, and
frowns, and clears his throat, and makes
mysterious signals ut the side OF the char
with his hand. The mother looks down.
and pcrceivcs that some of the Daby's I'M
dcrgarments are slipping off, and she
snatchcs up that infant and flies from the
room. When she returns, the child cries to
go to its father; and no sooner is it settled
on his knee than it bctrays IN irresistible
warming to 20 to its aunt; after which it
cries furously because its mother won't
take it.
Then the aunt gets a piece of candy to
quiet il, and when its hands have acquired
sufficient sickness it reaches over and
mauls the visitors bonnet Then its mother
tries to show of its accomplishments; but
it utterly refuses to make display: it is Is
stupid as an owl. 1t won't say "manma :"
or" iapa," and it won't show how big it is.
Its father tries TO coax il to say papa but
it pays no attention to him. He tries again
and again, getting madden all the time, and
drcadlully afraid the visitor will think his
child is dull.
At last he grabs the child by the arm and
shakes it, and wells. "Why don't you say
papa. as tell you:" Then the child
screams like backyard full Of cats. The
more the mother soothcs 1t the louder it
gets, until at lust the father cNcain>.
"Gmme that brat. !" and picks it up ana
dashcs out of the room, and is beard spank
ing it in the entry. Then the visitor goes
home looking at her dress, and deciding that
the end of that infant will be the @allows if
its characteristics are allowed to develop
fully as 1t grows up.-NdFAdclcr.
