An old-TYn,e Democrat.

The administration of Gov. Tildep,
of New York, for the brief period In
which he has held office, has been one
of the most remarkable on record from
the determined stand he has taken
against extravaganza and corruption
in that State. His course in regard to
the Canal bills has won him the high
est commendation from the public
Journals, both Democratic and Repub.
lican. His messages upon the flnan-
cial measures passed by the recent
State Legislature are able andleXhaus-
tive, showing not only the closest scru-
tiny of each item of the expenses pro-
vided for, but q steady determination
to cut down the appropriation to the
lowest point. The labor involved In
this examination was, as he states,
enormous, but the results to the tax
payers are proportiorally beneficial.
he taxes to be levied and paid this
year will be 80, 700, 600 less than in
1874, and it Is proposed to reduce the
existing rate of mills TO 81 mills In
1876 by several retrenchments, and by
abstaining from any fresh outlays for
tho construction of public buildings
not absolutely necessary. The appro-
priations made by the Legislature were
far more moderate than those OF pre-
vious ones; but the pruning knife of
the Governor has been used 10 good
purpose, and it has raised him to a
higher place than ever IN public con1-
dcnce. New York may be congratu-
ted on the | respect of rapidity extin-
gushing the debts imposed by. past
legislation, and that, too, with lighter
taxation upon her citizens This has
all been the work of single officer,
who is not only an old-time Demo
crat, but fills the requirements OF its
doctrines, which declare that honesty,
industry and ability shall be the test
for the men in authority Baltimore

Exclusive taxation follows in the wake
OF Republican management as intivita.
bly, as that death follows life. Washing
ton and New Orleans are fair exemplif-
cations Of it. In the former, the distriC
ovcrnment will have to pay to Grants
Kitchen Organ about one hundred thous-
and dollars for the publication of the de.
faulting taxpayers list; and in the latter
the Official Organ of the Republican par.
ty publishes sixty-three columns of mott.
css to delinquent taxpayers. Itneed moi
surprise that the same paper contained
seven columns of Sheriff sales. Repub
licanism and onerous taxation are syno
pymous twins.

Wilson, and j. G, Blaine. Democrats
IT. a. Hendricks, A G. Thurman,
W. Allen, I. F. Bayard, J. 8. Black,
and S. J. Tllden. The Sun adds:
Each OF these lists seems complete as
the case stands at present. 1T Is pos
siDle, but not probable, that new men
may come up in the course of next fall
and winter For instance, If General
Hayes should be elected Governor of
Ohio by rousing majority he would
take place in the republican list, but
II he should be beaten his chance of
reaching such distinction will Oe ex-

ono OF these twelve gentlemen will be

The Cty Investigating Com, NIT

The City Investigating Committee met
last night. 1t appears that the com
ments Of the press had the influence to
cause the Committee to modify theii
former announcement not to admit re-
porters, and to admit them under the
restriction that no comments be made
until the investigation is completed.
Last night but one witness was exam
ined. He was Mr.. Dandy. a clerk. His
testimony will be found in another col
umn. 1t consumed the time Of the Com
nittee for the whole evening; and in.
wolves q supposed loss to the city Of
SIX dollars. This small "irregularity"
may perhaps be explained away. How
many witnesses are 10 be examined we
have not learned. We do not think the
examination can do any harm, and may
have very salutary effect; the credit
Of which is due in some measure to its
instigators, whether they are Mr.. Wes-
ley Hawkins, or Mr.. II. F. Pickles, Or the

We have not charged any one with
the commission of crime in any Of our
remarks on the reservoir. We have
strictly confined our remarks to the
question Of economy; and the extrava.
gance Of building such work when il
was not needed. and building it upon 6
principle by which it is sure to cost the
city fifty per cent. more than it would il

be disgraced by the development of pee

the pleasure of meeting with many of

for scholastic purposes. And VIC trust
that the funds thus collected will be

which alone We can depend upon to
raise our race from t.Air present con-
dition. The meeting was particularly
Illustrative Of the present condition
of our political affairs. The ''germi
hons" commonly known MS fogy, ar
gued for one mill. Others with lit
tic more magnanimity and foresight
consented to one and half mill,
whilst another gay financier in the
course Of his remarks, argued in favor
of two mills. (provided that he or
some other honest man have the dis
bnrsement Of these tunds.) But the
climax was reached when our young
friend, Mr.. Govan V. Cutler, took the
floor, he made quite lengthy speech,
advising an assessment Of three mills,
which, by weight of his sound practi
cal arguments. was carried. Mr.. Cul.
ler exhibited considerable interest in

crto occupied n mcanial position. IIe

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 8, 1875.
To the Editor ofMe Nc,cs and Courier:
In your paper of few days ago I
noticed an editorial in which you
made some comments upon my having
been appointed receiver of the South
Carolina bank and trust company, Of
this city, and also Of my having in
rtluenccd the governor to vote with me
to put more OF the state funds on de-
post with that bank previous to its
suspension. AS / have since seen the
same statements repeated in the
Winnsboro Nc~s i'll coarser language,
| am impelled to depart from my
usual rule not to contradict newspap-
or statements regarding my official
conduct, except as my official record
may Of itself show the incorrectness of
such statement, and to request you to
afford me space in your columns to
say, in brief, that so far as the
deposit in the South Carolina bank
and trust company Of state funds is
concerned, the first report made to
me officially by that bank, after be-
came comptroIlcr-gencral, showed a
balance Of $4,000, placed there by
MIR. Cardozo ,ts state treasurer, and, as
| am informed, by his own vol:tion. l
did vote in April with the governor,
at meeting of the financial board, to
increase the deposit to 100000, and
tit remain until 1st Of July, when it
was to be drawn upon to pay the July
interest upon the public debt. Under
tho circumstances MS they then existed
I believed it right to vote rs did,
and l presume the governor felt the
same. Certainly we neither Of us had
any reason to believe that the bank
was in any danger, and if hIr. Cardozo
felt, as he no,c declares he did, Tint the
failure Of that bank was only n cues
ton Of time, why was it TINT he put
$4,000 there before l went Into
office
You say you arc informed that
was, as n scnator,a q warm advocate Of
the bill to mako this bank and the
Carolina National the sole banks Of
deposit, which bill the governor ve-
tocd. Ifyou will examine the journals
of the senate, you will find that my
"warni advocacy" consisted in simply

a Hint to South Carolina.

The interest aroused by the
trium phs Of the American riflcmen il
Ireland has moved Gen. Shalcr to get
up in the meeting Of the American
association and propose that in tho
centennial year international shooting
matches shall be made up, not only
with ireland, but with the ma tions of
the world. Gen. Woodward offered
an amendment to the effect that there
should be centennial match, to be
shot by teams of twelve men from
each state in the union. The resolu-
tion and the amendment wore refcrr-
ed to the executive committee for
action. Of course South Carolina
must be represented i'll this match,
and it is time that your crack native
rihemcn, in conjunction, with your
schuctzcn gesellschaft, should form
into an association for practice. It
would be gratifying if i'll the grand
interstate match southern team
should beat the team that has beaten
Ireland and the world so far. But in
the centennial contest South Carolina
would have to shoot against the Swiss
mountainecrs and the kentuckians,
to sny nothing of the Creedmoor
"cracks." It is not too carly, there
fore, to be up and doing. NxM.
This is a good suggestion, and one
that our orangeburg Rihemen can
take hold of with coed chances of
success. We have some crack shots
here that We think could give good
account Of themselves even in con.
test with the celebrated team that
have carried off the laurels from Ire
land.

This is the Way 1t Is.

The most foolish prodicament a man
can get into is to get drunk. In
drunkenness every man shows his
strongest side and most ardent pas
sion. There are six kinds Of drunk
ards, and if you will go into city
drinking place where there dozen
under the influence of liquor, you will
be sure to find six different charac-
tcrs, representing different animals.
The first is the ape drunk. Hc leaps,
and sings, and yclls, making nll sorts
of grimaces, and cutting up all sorts
of monkey shines" to excite laughter
Of his fellows! Oh, terribly silly is
tho drunken clown. S.
The second is tiger drunk. He
breaks the heads Of his fellow carous-
ers, and is full of blood and thunder.
Ills eyes arc fired with vengeance;
and his soul raves with murdcrous
fury. OF this sort are those who
abuse their families.
The third is hog drunk. fIe rolls
i'll the dirt Oh the floor, slobbers and
grunts, and going into the street,
makes his bed in the first ditch or
filthy corner he may happen to fall
into. He is heavy, dumpish and
sleepy, aud cries in grunting way
for little more drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and wine his love
and hug you in his arms, and kisses you
with his slobbcry lips, and proclaims
how much helovcs you. You are the
best man he ever saw aud lie will lay
down his money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl drunk. He is wise
in his own conceit. No man must
differ with him for his word is law.
He is true in politics, and all matter
must oe taken as authority. His arm
is the strongest, his voice the sweetest,
his horse the flcetest, his turnips the
largest, his town the finest of all in
tl.e lant;.
The sixth and last animal of our
menagerie is the fox-drunk man. He
is crafty, ready to trale horses, and
cheat you if lie can. Keen to strike
q bargain, leering around With low
cunning, pecping through cracks, lis
tcning under the ewes, watching for
some suspicious thing, sly us fox,
sneaking ns wolf, he is the neancst
drunkard of them all.
