The Columbia Daily Union.
- MIR. L. Cass Carpenter has commenced
the publication of q journal in Columbia, un-
der the title of the Daily Union, which he
claims is but the revivi6cation of the paper un.
der that title which he disposed of few
months ago to the Herald, With which the IT,
tie of the former paper was consolidated. Of
O the complications likely to grow out Of these
transactions, we nor the public have any con-
cern. We can only say that the Daily Union,
Jas issued by Mr.. Carpenter, is good, live
newspaper, conducted with ability and replete
with news. Besides Mr.. Everson, one of the
best local editors within our knowledge, Mr..
Carpenter will soon have associated with him
in the editorial management of the Union,
Mr.. Myron Fox, formerly editor of the
Charleston Republican, but more recently, we
believe, connected with the Washington
Chronicle. The Daily Union is published at
So per annum.
Another Financial Block.
- On Saturday last, the Legislature re-
ceived 8, communication from Treasurer Car
dozo, conveying the astounding intelligence
that the South Carolina Bank and Trust Com
pany, with an ample sum of public money in
their keeping, had refused to honor the drafts
of the State Treasurer, Notwithstanding the
fact that, as the Treasurer asserts, the Bank
has now in its possession, Of public moneys on
deposit, not less than $4,000. The cause of
this action by the Bank is the alleged fact
that the Secretary of the Treasury refuses to
recognize bill payable for s25,OOO which
the Bank holds. This bill payable, unlike
ell others of its class, as the Treasurer al
leges, is neither lettered nor. numbered, and
there are no records by which its identity can
be known. Hence he refuses to pay it, and
as consequence, the bank refuses to honor
the Treasurer's drafts and has even gone fur
ther and attached the public money deposited
with it for safe keeping. Great CONSERVATION
ensued in the Legislature on Saturday, when
the Treasurer communicated the above facts
to that body, and the subject was at once
made the special order for Monday. A COM
mittee was appointed by the Senate to inves-
tigate the matter. On Monday the committee
asked for further time to make report,
which was granted. In the meantime Hardy
Solomon, President of the Bank, addressed a
note to the Legislature, as an answer to Car
dozo's communication of Saturday, in which
he denies the imputation that his $4,000 bill
payable is irregular, and says that the items
of his claim, when before the Legislature,
we're carefully examined by committees of the
two Houses, and even by Cardozo himself,
and all parties seemed satisfied with their
correctness.
Mr.. Solomon also denies the statement that
he has attached the moneys of the State in his
bank. He says he is only seeking to comply
with the instructions of the Comptroller, as to
the mode of paying checks and keeping his
accounts, which requires the checks to be
drawn against the special fund for the pay
ment of which the fund was levied.
