Editors Democratic Statesnan-I wish.
through the columns Of your paper, to call
the attention Of the Legislature to the DIS
graceful way that the San Jacinto and San
Antonio veterans have been treated by our
State. Most Of them are now Old and de-
crspid, and know of four who had neither
the clothes nor the money to 50 80 the re-
union at Houston last spring.
These men received neither money nor
land commensurate with the great service
thew rendered Texas. and, with the eScep-
don Of GO acres OF land, got no more than
settlers who came years afterwafds.
For the credit 81 the State, let the Iegis-
Iature pass bin giving them At least 3 suit
Of clothes and money enough togo TO llous-
ton, 10 reunite once more before they die.
Very respectfully, OLD I'ExsN.

CONDITION oV soUTH oAROLINA.


The actual condition Of afairs in South
Carolina can be better understood BY a few
extracts from the memorial 70 Congress,
prepared and adopted by the tax payers in
convention assembled ct Columbia, the cap
ital Of the state. It is really startling to
think that, in these enlightened days, in
republican government, such conduct could
be tolerated. It is so outrageous, shows 80
much of outright bigandage, that the acts
Of the pirates, Of whom We read as Of
class who long since went to their graves or
the gsllows, sink into insignihcanee, in
comparison with the plundering Of a whole
State under the Iiame Of the government !
That is Just what has been done, and viii
be done, by those debased robbers, Who
take the money from the Treasury Of The
State just as highwayman would the
purse Of man on the road. Tn the one
case he is said 10 have appropriated so
much over and above the amount which he
was authorized to draw; in the other he is
called by lis right name and treated as a
robber, II eaught II there ever was State
without a republican form of government, in
fact that State is poor South Carolina.
From being one of the best governed,
most patriotic aud intelligent Of the sister
hood OF states, She is now the most debased.
n the government wishes to carry out the
objects for which union of the states was
foro,ed aid will be furnished for the
restoration Of South Carolina to the rights
and privileges of a free state.
The annual expenses Of the government
have advanced from S4OO, 900 before the
war to 81, 900, 900 at the present time, and
the following comparison of leading items
of expenditures will best exhibit the

Two clerks of the Legislature, in their
official capacity, made contracts with them
selves, as private persons, for the public
printing, The appropriations made in one
year for the work done OF TO be done by
these two officials amounted TO 475, 900, ex-
elusive of 800, O0e for publishing the laws;
and in the fiscal year 1878 there was actual
ly paid to them for printing, 1881, 600 leav-
ing large sum then due them by the State,
and this Notwithstanding the avowal of the
two officials themselves that the work done
was worth no more than 800, 900 and the
testimony of others that its value was only
$50, 900. Fhe stupendous fraud involved In
this and similar modes of making the legit-
innate objects of plundering the Treasury
cannot be better illustrated than by the fol-
lowing facts:
The total appropriation AoI puDnC printing
made by the Legislature of South Carolina
during a period Of sixty years, from 1900 to
1859, was 271, $50. During the last year
the amount actually expended for public
printing by the present Legislature was
1881. 9i5, that is $50, 705 more than it cost
the State for sixty years before the war.
The scamps ought to be arrested by the
United States marshals and tried for embez-
element, robbery and theft before the
United States courts. They ought not to
be permitted longerto claim an Office. They
ought to be treated just as a thief would be
who goes into a bank and steals the money
from the vaults.

case as an illustration. The election in the
state of New York was, in 1868, carried by
fraud and illegal votes. Had only legal
votes been counted, John A. Griswold and
the whole republican ticket would have
been elected. This is matter of proof. If
Congress, under the plea mentioned, can
interfere In Louisiana, it could have in
New York Soft can, forever hereafter,in
similar cases. The power is taken from
the several states and vested in Congress.
The constitution and laws of state fix n
certain day for an election, Congress says
that it can order another election at another
day. lnnne cases out of ten, the necces-
sary proof could be made and now elections
ordered in Connecticut, New York and
Pennsylvania. This is the logical result of
Mr.. Carpenters argument If his bill is
adopted, this will he the precedent TO be
hereafter followed. We think Senator
Morton the safer leader.

TERMS IN ADVANCE.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, in speaking of the state
ment of Mr.. Dodge, of the firm of Phelps,
Dodge Il Co., before the House committee
of ways and means, in regard to the modi-
flcation of the custom laws, notifies in
formers, etc., etc, says "Thc statement
of Mr.. Dodge before the committee OBJ
tains entire credence, and the manner in
which the firm was dealt with has been de-
nounccd by members of the committee in
very vigorous terms. So far as this feel
ing of Indignation assumes personal dl-
rection among members it extends toward
General Butler. for the part he took in the
transaction as Jaync's counsel Buffers
influence with the House has been greatly
damaged by the statement of his connec-
ton with this affair, and he will scarcely
have the hardhood to attempt to lead the
House again till the storm has had time to
blow over"

BUREAU OF STATISTICS,

EDWARD YoUNG,
Chief Of Bureau.


Chief of Bureau.
Hon. Pitt W. Hyde moved that vote of
thanks be rendered to the committee for
their labors, and that they be asked to CON
tinue and give the association any lnforma-
ton they may be able to collect in the lu-
ture. Carried
Mr.. s. w, Bailey said, in referring to
the letter of President Dickson, that while
surprised at the treatment given the petit
ton Of the committee by the railroad COM
rany. he did not consider the case altOgeth-
er hopeless. He was not able to determine
the character Of the communication, but did
not understand it as a flat denial. He saw
evidences of desire to conclliate the slate
producers upon certain grounds, and that
the communication was susceptible of the
Interpretation that the company were will
ing to continue the discussion and meet the
committee in courteous manner. He eX-
pected therefore that the committee might
yet be able to bring about the deduction
desired, and which the association believe
to be right. He would move vote of
thanks to that committee for their endeay-
ors, and for the faithful discharge of the
duties assigned them, and that they be con
tinued as such committee, which motion
was seconded by MIR. H. r. Jones and
unanimously adopted.
Rev. John Newman, ID. D., of Poultncy
thought that some expression should be
given to the ideas of the association con-
corning the communication Of President
Dickson and therefore would offered the
following
Res0lred. That We acknowledge the re-
ceipt of IL very curteous letter from the
President of the Delaware " Hudson canal
company, conveying n denial of our request
for reduction of freight tariff.
ResOlred, That we regret the unwilling
ness of the company to acCede TO our re-
quest, yet we see in their attitude an omen
of good toward the slate interest.
| ReS0lCo1, That we are sure that when the
railroad authorities come to see that their in
terests and that of our production are one,
they will be willing to grant us the relief
we ask tor.
These resolutions were adopted as the
sense of the members present.
The Doctor added that it did not seem to
him that this stupendous interest was yet
prepared to give up and sit down defeated,
but that its efforts must be continued, as
its views have not changed and it does not
intend to give up the prosecution Of the
efforts made for reduction in freight
charges.
After further remarks upon the same
subject by Hon. p. w. Hyde and Mr.. S.
w. Bailey, Mr. Hyde moved that Messrs.
Nicoll and Williams be requested to meet
President Dickson again, which motion was
adopted.
The association then adjourned for two
weeks at same time and place.
