Memorial of the Columbia Board OF Trade.
COLUMBIA, S. c., April ia memorial
from tie Columbia Board of Trade, signed
by all tie leading business men Of this city,
not identified with politics, was telegraphed
to the Judiciary subcommittee at Wash
ington to-day. They ask Congress to legis-
late and punish individuals, though they
be members of the Legislature, who con-
spire to detraud the public. They indorse
fully the complaints in the taxpayers
memorial, and claim to be daily witnesses
of the extravaganza of the members of the
present State government, who, nOtwith-
standing their small salaries, spend MANY
thousands per annum without any evidence
Of having acquired the means honestly.
The State officials now in Washington to
cOunteract the taxpayers memorial, have
already enriched themselves from the ex-
listing government, and its continuance is to
be Indifferent to politics, but beg an honest |
State government.
