The members of the Senate of Vir-
giuia have reduced their salaries from
S5.A0 to $3.50. Our Legislators would
do well to follow the example set then,
lin this respect. They ought to reduce
tae compensation to three dollars Per
day. Everything is az cheap now as il
was before the war, and there is no
reason why the services of legislator
should be worth more now than they
were then; and, besides, the State is not
as able to pay now as she was then.
Follow the general order of the day,
gentlemen, and come down to three dol
lars instead Of FIVE.

The publication of the report Of the
Bond Commission excludes many news
items from our columns this week, and
ne are unable to comment editorially
upon it in this issue. We may say, how
ever, that it is ably prepared and ex-
i,austive. The Legislature should at
once adop. the bonds reported as good,
and pay the interest on them: They
should also reject the s., 1895, 900 shown
to be fraudulent, and then ascertain what
is right and just as to, the remainder.

money there as long as possible, 80 as to
make it available in his denomination for
office--so as to say to every member of
the nominating convention, who had o
claim against the State, "vote for my
nomination and 1 will have your claim
paid; vote against me, and you may
whistle for your money" But tempta-
ton came to Chamberlain in the shape
of Price from Philadelphia, with an
earnest demand for payment of his bill,
and to get it he consented to part with a
little of the money for the support OF the
Uniou- Herald.
One James G.. Thompson was the
editor of this paper. Through TomPson
Chamberlain communicated with Price,
and told him that it would be felony
under the law to have his bill paid out
of any moneys then in the taeasury,
and that Cardozo, the Treasurer, would
certainly not pay it and take such a risk
unless he, Cham mberlain, advised and re-
quested him to do 80. But that if Price
would constitute him, Thompson, his
agent for the collection of the $4,000,
and would pay him $1,000 out of it fol-
the benefit of the Union-Herald, he,
Chamberlain, would order Cardozo to
pay the money.
Price at once consented to do so, as he
despaired Of getting his money in any
other way, and Cardozo paid the $4,000
out of which $4,000 were reserved by
Thompson on Governor Chamberlain's
account. Thus the 900 needed were
made up, and the pockets of Cardozc
and Chamberlain we're saved from fur
cher depletion. The parties to thi;
transaction still live. Price is rich

COLUMBIA, s. O., January 81.
The famous memorandum book used
by Oakes Ames to demolish so many
Congressional regulations has found its
counterpart in the shorthand notes
which fer many years past have been
taken by Woodruff, the former Republi-
can Clerk of the Senate in this State. It
seems that even in the flush and lily day
of Radical rule this man was looking for
ward to the day when he himself and his
political associates would be called TO ac-
count for the corruption and villainy
which marked all their official actions.
Thinking that in such an hour of trial it
might be well to have his memory
strengthened by documentary evidence
against those who were then his friends,
he committed to paper the record Of
every criminal transaction in which he
had been engaged, and arranged the
bookB and papers of his business estab-
lishment in such manner as to present
full corroboration of whatever charges
he might see fit to make.
Woodruff and his friend Jones, Clerk
of the House of Representatives, were
the proprietors and representatives of the
Republican Printing Company, and the
most lavish appropriations we're annually
made for its benefit by the General AS
sembly, in order that from the proceeds
the leading members of the Senate and
the House might be heavily bribed to
give their votes to whatever measures
this printing company might have in
hand. Whenever a bribe was paid,
full minute thereof was made in Wood
ruff7s "little book"-the name of the re-
cipient, the amount paid to him, date of
payment, whether in check or money,
and the circumstances attending the
transaction. All these books and papers,
kept by Woodruff, with an eye to his
personal protection, have been turned
over to the investigating committee, and
many rich morsel has been evolved
therefrom. By the aid of these notes,
Slaalls, the negro Congressman, was con-

The NeEs and Courier announces that

which to calIupon the people tofpay the
portion Of the debt reported absolutely

people to pay for any such rascality.

Tho Charleston Neny and Courier. in
speaking of the political aspect of the
public debt question says:
At Che last general election the cry
was that the success of the Democratic
candidates, particularly in the South,
would be dangerous to the Republic, be-
cause the South was disposed to support
injurious snd revolutionary legislation.
. For this CRY, born of the exigencies of
the canvass, tnere is now. some excuse,
as the Southern .Congrsssnlen are found
Z to be, as a body, in favor of cheating tho
public creditor, and the working man be-
sides, by flooding the country with de-
based currency which Is lie on its face,
inasmuch as it is not the dollar in fact
that It il in name. There has likewise
been an attempt TO repudiate the public
s obligations in different Southern States.
Louisiana is an ahonorable exception.
In South Carolina the people and the
party were pledged to abide by the ex-
isting settlement of the debt, and the
pledge was given with complete knowl:;
edge OF its meaning. The National
Democratic party will have heavy load
to carry, if South Carolina should fall
