A Rnnah-all eli.

The General Assembly, yesterday, in
both branches, was startled from it's
propriety by the receipt Of bAet-dour
from Treasurer Oardozo. This precious
epistle appears in another place, and
when our readers peruse it, they will
not wonder at the Consideration which
it produced. According to records in
the Treasurer's Office, there remained in
January, 1873, balance OF outstand-
ing bills payable of 1892. 724.96. In
abe same month, committee, author
lied by concurrent resolution to regis
ter outstanding legislative pay certiA-
Gates and bills payable, reported that
they registered $3.50, SOC 85 OF bills pay
able-being $685. more than was re.
corded in tho Treasurer's ofTice. On
tho 9th inst, portion of this excess,
in the shape of bill payable for $685.
600. was presented for payment at the
Treasury by the President OF the South
Carolina Bank aid Trust Company. It
was neither lettered, nor numbered, and
there is no receipt which shows that
legislative certificates were given in ex-
change for it: The Treasurer asserts
that he cannot find any evidence on his
records to show that the State ever re-
ceived any consideration for it. He.
therefore, very properly raises the ques-
ton, whether it is valid clnim, and re-
fsrs the point TO be further determined
and acted upon by the General Assem-.
bly,. This body having authorized the
payment OF the claims Of the South Ca
rolina Bank and Trust Company, it is.a
pertinent inquiry, whether this irregu-
lar bill payable forms part of them.
In any case. the Treasurer cannot, as
correct business man, or faithful public
officer, recognize it-being entirely
destitute Of the marks which establish
validity.
The othor fact mentioned by the
Treasurer in his Communication is
equally astounding. The moneys of the
State attached and payment OF creditors
stoppedl Verify. this is humiliating.
Is there. or is there not. good deal
that is rotten in this State OF ours?
Have We arrived ut pandemonium? No

said that things looked squally. He
thought that in the terrible derange-
ment Of affairs, the Senate had better
remain in perpetual session and watch
over the government, lest it's wheels be
blocked. A doubtful remedy for the
evils of the times. They cannot be re-
medied by those who have cnused them.

Washington Ledies and Senator Jones.

Gay" the sprightly correspondent
of the Louisville COuier-Jounal,
writes from Washington: "It seems
objectionable in Jones, the rich and
wise Jones,tO pass our Washington la
dies over and bring bride from Cali
fornia. Last Winter there was a let
up in introducing TO him ladies who
would suit him for wives. OF course
he was only to take one at time, but
then he was to be permitted choice
from quite q number. Jones hypo-
critically announced that his atfliction
was to recent TO admit of his thinking
of u second marriage. 1 don't know
how long that Mrs. Jones No. l had
departed, but am afraid it was more
he thought of that young woman in
California than the deceased wife
that kept him from inclining toward
the many fair aspirants for his heart
and home, to say nothing of the silver
mines. There is a pleasant little an
ecdote told of the two Senators from
Nevada. Stewart was eXpatiating
upon the attractions of that highly fa-
vOred land. He wound up his eulogy
by saying that all that was needed
there was water and good society.
Jones responded: "That is all that is
needed in h-l.' You see Pm falling
into the newspaper habit of quoting
Jones' wise aphOrisms.n

Mr.. Sabichi and His Record.

The residents and taxpayers Of this
city who contemplate casting their
votes for Mr.. SABICHI will do we'll be-
fore reaching conclusion to calmly
consider what the election Of that
gentleman to the May is likely
to cost them. We point to Mr.. SA-
BICHI's official record as evidence in
support of the assumption that he is
the choice of the ring for Mayor and
to show that they have satisfactory
reasons for believing that he will aid
them in carrying out schemes by
which they will be benefited at the
expense of the people. He has favored
closing certain streets which the
Water Company ask shall be closed;
he has favored adding one more lot to
the seven acres of the clty's property
now held by the Water Company; he
has favored the Water Company's
scheme for constructing large reser-
voir on Fort Hill "a scheme
which will damage if not en-
tirely destroy large amount of
private property for which damage
and destruction the city would be held
responsible. He reported in favor of
granting the Water Company the un-
conditional privilege Of building a

The Two Candidates.

If we read the indications Alright,
Mr.. SABICHI is the man for whose
election to the Mayoralty the ring
managers have determined to use
their utmost influence. The record of
Mr. SABICHI in the Council shows
him to have been their ally in the
past, and their anxiety to secure his
election now should be all the evidence
required to satisfy voters and tax
payers that he will use his influence,
in the event of his election to carry
out their plans for closing public
streets and obtaining more of the
city's land. Mr.. TIFFANY is being
used as q tool-a cat's-paw-we do not
believe it intentional on his part, but
the fact is the same, nevertheless. He
is promised support he will never re-
ceive, in order to prevent his with
drawal from the contest. 1t is known
that every vote cast for him would, if
he were not a candidate, be given for
Mr.. BEAUDRY, hence the efforts of the
ring to force him to remain a candi-
date. The real contest is between
Mr.. BEAUDRY and Mr.. SABICHI, with
the prospect for election largely in fa-
vor of the first named gentleman,
even though Mr.. TIFFANY should re-
main a candidate and draw off
small percentage of his support. But
should the ring succeed in gathering o
sufficiet number of votes to force Mr..
SABIcHI in, the people will hold Mr..
TIFFANY responsible for his election,
and there is little reason for doubt
that before his term of Office expires,
our people will have abundant reason
to regret their choice, as we'll as for
blaming Mr.. TIFFANY for permitting
the election of a man whose defeat he
had it in his power to have compassed.
Mr.. TIFFANY may not knowingly or

The Monopoly of Water and the Monopoly
'' Of Cash.

EDITOR HERALD: A monopoly of
water with a franchise which the
lawyers say is illegal so far as it gives
an exclusive privilege to distribute
and sell water, is making desperate
effort to elect its own instruments as
Mayor and Common Council. 1t is a
sufficient objection to any candidate
that he is supported by the monopoly.
They knew their men and would sup
port no candidate who is not supple
instrument of their will They ascer-
tanned that Tiffany would not do and
grappled Sabichi for Mayor. They
will name their Councilmen in due
time. ...r
The reason Of this course is well
known. Under the law, the price of
water should be fixed by the Mayor
and Council, and they are resolved to
have city government, which will
establish prices agreeable to the mo-
nopoly-that is, famine prices. They
are not content with running their
own instruments for office, but are
through purchased presses and other,
wise, making a war with an Indian
tomahawk upon Mr.. Beaudry, because
he had the impudence to dig well
on his own premises to pump water
on his own land for the supply of the
citizens who may settle theron. 1t is
something new in the impudence of
monopoly that n man has not right
to dig well upon his own land, for
his own use, and to supply his neigh
bors if he sees fit. But according to
the logic of the advocates of the mo-
nopoly, Beaudry would be monster
if he gave cup of water to a wayfarer
who begged it, famishing at his well.
OF course it would make no difference
that the water of Beaudry was clear
and pure, and that of the monopoly
filtered through a. goose-pond. The
purpose of these parties is to keep the
supply Of water so meagre that the
monopoly can always sell at their
own rates. 1t is scheme to pinch
the public with thirst. PIE ~
The monopoly might easily, by an
Increase of dams and other facilities,
so increase the amount of the water as
TO supply the whole valley for dOmeS-
tic purposes. 1t is well known that
more than three-fourths of the water
in the river runs to waste because
there is no means OF saving the run in
the Winter. The monopoly might at
least take measures and construct
works which would enable them to
fully supply the public, instead of
standing at the corners of the street
and peddling water with tin-cup.
They ought not to play the dog in the
manger by neither supplying water
themselves nor permitting others to
do so. Let the people look to this bus
mess by electing city officers who will
take care of the public interests. 1t is
to be hoped that measures will be
taken to prevent the city election from
being carried by the use of money and
the purchase of votes.
ANTI-MONOPOLY
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-20

BEN BUTLER has announced his de-
termination to retire from public and
political life. This is q good announce
ment and if the people could only be
assured that it would be kept inviolate
there would be great rejoicing. But
as BEN has also announced that
he would form a new party and with
it burst the Republican party all to
smithereens there is a lingering fear
that his promised retiracy is but a
ruse to aid some Butlerian scheme.
BEN needs not the assistance of q new
party to crush the Republican organi-
zation. Singly and alone as confiden-
tial adviser to President GRANT he
has accomplished that task, and the
fate of his old party can in no way
be affected by the power of his new
one. Still it would be good thing
for BEN and the country if he would
quietly accept the verdict of the peo-
pie and in future confine himself to
the practice of the law and such vir-
tues as he has, in the village of his
adoption. .iJ
