To His ExcsAency Gou. Chauber-
ldim-D DEAR SIR: It Is really refreshing
to see that yon really mean honesty
and reform in the government of
South Carolina. You have done much
you can do more-much more. I we'll
remember your remark in the Tax
Payers Convention: Zone honest man
can put u host Of thieves to fight. -
Now the people Of South Carolina ask
you to be that honest man. Your
suggestions to curtail the appropria.
tions are admirable. and for feur you
may forget it. allow me to suggest how
you can save, perhaps, $4,000 or
100000 more. The outstanding
claims against the State in the shape
OF pay certificates. issued to John d DC
aud Richard Roe il, perhaps, $500. :
600. More than ono-half of them
ought never to be paid. and why? BE
canse the individuals in whose favor
they are drawn many of them we're

honest people have to pay special
tax to feed such rascality; aud now If
yonr Exoellency wishes to save the
State handsome sum, lot there he a
committee appoin.ed-not of members
Of the Legisldture-w can get in
formation as to the services of the
original parties to these papers, aud
not allow one dollar, unless it can be
clearly established that the services
were performed. This work can be
done and without any expense to the
State. In many of the Counties, too,
there is deficiency. Why? Because
claims are put in, without umbor, for
services rendered and prisoners fed
and cared for. and money advanced
by certain officials, without regard to
time, number or place. All this fraud
could be overhauled and many thou.
