The story OF the Official robbery
Of the State Of South Carolina blythe
hand Of hard and disreputablc men
who managed to obtain control of
her Government Is in q general way
pretty familiar 10 the newspaper
reading public. They have been
again and again told Of their un-
blushinE corruption, unparalleled
bribery and wholesale robbery In
nearly every department. but they
have yet to learn the full infamy
and rascality of these men In the
minor grades of crime and cOrrup-
tion. For the last twelve months 4
joint committee OF the Legislature
has been unearthing the details Of
this secondary villainy, and the tcs-
timony il has taken IlisclOses a con-
ditiOn Of affairs which throws an
the other legislative robbery and
corruption Of the past fifteen years
completely in the shade. The cor
respOndence printed presents n pic
ture Of legislative wrong-d0ing
which has never before been pre-
sented to an American public, and
which, fortunately, there IS slight
probability will be presented in the
future.
The late Legislatures Of South
Carolina seem to have gore TO work
deliberately to rob that State IN eve
cry possible way. In one session
alone there was expended three
hundred and fifty Thousand dOllars
under the head OF supplies, sum
dries and incidental expenses" " and
of this sum one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five thousand dollars was spent
in refreshments" A bar and
dining-room were attached to tho
legislative chambers, where the pa-
triOtic statesmen ate and drank at
the public expense, while the teach
ers Of the public schools were un-
paid and cOnvicts were set FREQ from
the penitentiaries tOsave them from
starvation. Under the head of
stationery" they charged 10 the
public treasury the expenses OF fur
nishing their houses, the support Of
their mistresses and the cost Of ex-
pensivc jewelry, There was scarce
ly an item Of personal expense which
was not set down TO the public &C.
count. In fact, Senators and Rep
left their private bills
with the accounting officers and
they were returned to them settled
and receipted. Tweed's rule In this
city and State was pure and spOtless
with the regime OF tho
South Carolina Ring.
