(Continued from First Page.) Intyre check for $200. Mo. said it was better than nothing. His * Boitins girls arc a nuisance. Satubday, February i..I tliink Jones could stand a little more skinning, but I have been already peeled. £>on't want anv revenge. Jones agrees to give Neagle $10,000 more, that in, each cf us to pay him $5,000. I suppose we will have to give it to the voracious wretch. I am sick. Monday, February 3..Felt sick about Neagle all day. Can't get it off my mind. Dropped in to see Neagle and asked him to make some sort of appropriation and relieve os. He is a terrible ogre, and regular aucker. and" scare-crow. Hurley looks daggers at me since he was paid so much. The President'and Speaker came to see me-this evening and wanted some certificates made out. Tuesday, February 4, 1873..Gave Mr. White a check for $75, and we agreed to stand by each other to the last Tuesday, February 4,1873..We will have to stick by and take care of Cardozo and gave him another $5,000 just as pos¬ sible for the public good. We owe it to him. I wonder how Jones will work any how.. Wednesday, February 5, 1873.The only thing I regret is tie payment of $10,000 to Chamberlain. 'Fbxday, February 7, 1878..Nash frightened me' badly to-day by saying that the Committee on Finance propose Kto reduce the printing to $25,000. Paid Nash that $5,000, too soon. Ought to have kept half of it back.what t fool I was. \ - Sunday, February 16, 1873..Gave > Mein tyro a check for $100. and told him I would do anything to satisfy him. That is the last he will get. Am resolved not to ask the President to sign any more certificates for him o; anvbodv else. .v Tuesday,-February 18, 1873..Gave W. H. Jones, Jr., a check for $500, that osght to silence him on the printing mat- tor and make him help. Wednesday, January 19,1873..Car- dczo paid §15,000 more on the printing. Wants us to get McKinnov a piano out ¦S otthat. Propose to draw $1;000 out of office funds for Cardozo. gg&THUBSDAY, February 20, 1873..Told LeGrand to send for a piano for McKin- ney. He thought it .was musical gralifi- cation. Holcombe wants some money, so does Kansier.- Have already done well by Bansier, bnt will take care of his notes, ^feiFBiDAY, February 21,1873..The Sen¬ ators are mad because I helped Mein tyre to $5,000, for his Colleton Gazette. Saturday, February 22, 1873..They are striking for more money. Owens, Nash, Gail lard are after me with a sharp stick. Swails wants me to do something for Dr. Moore? That is passing strange. The idea of Patterson's brother-in-law wanting a pay certificate is something ^delightfully funny. ; Monday, February 24, 1873.-i-Owens called and requested me to draw pay cer¬ tificates for sundry parties. The Presi¬ dent refused to sign/until,he saw the Senators. I thought he was right Told Cardnrclli 1^ would take care of Whitte- moreVbiU. Charlie Green and Spexry, of the House, came for money. Sperry said he was in distress and bad lostrevery- thing heaver had. That is good, con- i idenng he never had any thing. Prom: ised to help them. -. Tuesday, February 25, 1873..-Very heavy demands were macie on' me this morning by Tim Hurloy and others. If Tim could only*get a certificate for leg¬ islative expenses it would throw him on Cardozo. Whittemore told me a num¬ ber of friends were getting up something to surprise me. Owens is probably head in this afiair. Ordered' a big oyster sup- Ser, at which were present, Nash, Car- ozo, Gaillard, Mclntyrs, Owens, Jones, Clerk of the House, and others. It was {.jolly affair, but no presentation. Wednesday, February 26, 1878.. This is the day for adjournment tine die. ¦>v What a relief- Have drawn up nearly rJl my certificates. The President of the Senate refuses to do anything for Hurley, flaw Cardozo and he promised to pay £10,000 of Benedict's certificates. Was compelled to ward offa good many Sen¬ ators. The session to-day lasted till mid- v night Drew check for J. H. Whi te for $100. The President of the Senate was puzzled how to act, so as to preaerre' peace in the family. After finishing business had-a grand supper furnished ly Pollock. Present.Lieutenant Gov¬ ernor, Judge Wright, Senators Nash, ;'. Jiervey, Cam, Mclntyrc, Lee,' Hayne,, 'Clinton, Owens and others. Saturday, March 22, 1878..Made a trade with Höge, giving him the Repub¬ lican Printing Company's bill- for 11,000 and taking 5500 for it. It was a big .thing. Wednesday, April 16, 1873..Crews called and I had an amusing chat with him.. He is a good fellow, and if all were like him, I could get along with the printing. Several Senators also called. G-iillard, Maxwell, Jones, Jr., Cain and several others. Can't do anything for them.v It will be, I fear, a dry summer. ' li it not about time for them to dry up I I am getting tired of this continued pressure: Saturday, April 26,1873..Had quite * a "esson to-day. Since purchase of JBoard o/*Trade house, some or myoid acquaint¬ ances, who had remained friendly, now ignoring sap. Amongst the, latter was/ Captain Conrtenay. It can't be helped. I suppose he thinks I have madu- my mcney by some imposition on the pnblic. There may be something in it, and I don't believe public men with public business are any of them too careful with their overcharges. I can't do bette r with the printing under the circumstances. .Wednesday, May 20, 1873..Höge proposed to pay bill of Republican Print¬ ing Cbmpeny by warrant oüA bis contin¬ gent fund for $500, and I to give him a receipt for $1,000. Will have to d>> it to get along with business and -keep peace nr. the «unily. Köge iß a huge hog. Was compelled to bluff several appli¬ cants for money; promised a good deal when in ray power j also promised Mi- nort . Wednesday, November 26, l;J73.. Gave Benedict an order for $200 to pay note cf Senator Jones for Greenfield's Tuesday, Decentber 2, 1873..Hare been pressed by tbe House members to tell them what Jones is going to do for them. Would like to help all of them, and especially poor Abram Dannerly. But, goodness gracious! Jones ooght to satisfy these poor men. Saturday, December 6, 1873..P*d T. C. Dunn $1.000. W. E. Holcombe $1,000, John Wilson $500, Jerry Hollins- head $500, and others. Did my best to please everybody, hut tho appropriation is exhausted. Satubday, December 6,1873..Every- body doubled on us. I would like to leave the Comptroller General oat in the cold. Monday, December 8, 1873..Paid Senator Jones .$1,000, Clinton $1,250. Hurley got $5,000 from offico. Paid Cor- irin $1,500, Judge Höge $5,000, Whitte- rnore $5,000. Gave orders.'fbr the pay- .ment of others, but they were not paid jnütrtben. The fact is,-if t had not been lor that $50,000 current printing, I would hare been nowhere. Jack Little thought he ought to have something, but he can't get it Gaillard proposed to take $2,000; that's reasonable, and I am glad of it. A great many are complaining of Jones. I cannot help it. He must take care of the House, and I will, take care of the .Senate. Should not wonder if Hurley is dissatisfied. Tho Senators are getting cheeky. Tuesday, December 9,1873..Took a receipt for $2,400 from Cardozo to-day,. in the nature of a certificate from Frank¬ fort for $4,000. Tuesday, December 9, 1878..Paid; Johnston $900, Martin $1,000, Swails $5,000. Judge Höge appeared well pleased and came into our office. Wednesday, December 10, 1873.. Benedict paid out a good deal on hit ac¬ count to-day. Paid Dickson $300, Max¬ well $2,500. The pressure has been very great, but I guess we will gat through by degrees. Thursday, December 11,1873..Nash was paid off to-day $5,000, and I suppose he feels correspondingly happy. . Friday, December 26, 1873..Will not pay a cent hereafter to anyone unless they vote and help me pass the appro¬ priation for printing. If tbcy do that then I will get whatever they call for. Will have to let the Senators pay their own bills. Was dad to hear that Car- dozo had gone to New York. We have done all we can or ought to for Governor Moses. Sunday, December 28, »1873..Had a visit from Colonel Montgomery-and Bouse., Received letters from Benedict relative to injunctions. The wolves are after our blood again. Bead Beeehcr's sermon on "True Economy."- It was not at all applicable to the Legislature. Friday, July 17, 1874..Wish Elliott would support me for State Treasurer; would at once commence studying finance in earnest. My first payments would be the accounts of the Republican Printing Company. Printers are the light of the world, and should bo taken care of as preferred creditors. Attention is called to the testimony of A. O. Jones,- clerk of the House and a member of the Republican Printing* Company, on this and kindred subjects. He says that the printing was first award¬ ed to j. W. Denny, and afterwards to the Carolina Printing Companv, composed of Gov. B. K.* Scott, Attorney General Chamberlain, Treasurer Parker, Comp¬ troller General Neagle, State Printer Denny, Anditor Tomhmson, I». Cass Car¬ penter, editor of the Daily Uuion, and Morris & Fox, of the Charleston Repub¬ lican. The law then provided that the public printing "should be paid out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated." He says we were not aware at that time that this fund was looked upon as a source of revenue for State: officials and influential members of the General Assembly; it soon'' became apparent, however, that unless we made an agreement to distribute the profits, we would be cleaned out. This necessa¬ rily caused the bills for the work to be greatly increased. "Mr. Woodruff's ex- Eerience with the State officials was much irger than mine (Jones'). The passage of the printing claims, was a special ob¬ ject of attack by an army of blackmailers composed of State officials, senators, members of the House, editors, lobbyists and other hungry hangers-on of the Gen¬ eral Assembly/' "In order to obtain the money on our claims," says Jones, "we 'were forced by Governor Chamberlain and Treasurer"Cardozo to' support the Union.the Union-Herald while it exist¬ ed. We deemed it politic to satisfy, as near as possible, these demands. Instead of following the practice of placing a fund in the hands of a few individuals, we undertook the -distribution of' our favors and to make them general." The witness (Jones) also -submitted a large number of checks, now in the, hands of your committee, most of them endorsed, representing amounts paid to different members of the House in consideration of their votes, or non-opposition to the printing frauds that.were being perpe¬ trated under the guise of legislation. Your committee deem it proper to ap¬ pend a list of names and amounts, so that the people of the State may see how universal and bare-faced this business of bribery and corruption hid become in reference to appropriations for public printing. The following members of the House were paid by check on the South Carolina Bank and. Trust Com¬ pany, and endorsed for the amounts an¬ nexed to their names for^heir support of the joint resolution' appropriating $250,- 000, approved December 21, 1872: Lew Lee $20, J. C. Tingman $25, Aug. Sinkins $50, J. C. Wolfe $50, D. P. Mc- Laurin $50, John Lilly $50, John A. Barker $450, John A. Barker 300, <iohn A. Barker 250, Charles Simo.s 50, W. H. Frazier 60, H. H.

Jones further says that "the foregoing checks were all made out in the order Of the parties named, and are endorsed by them; thai^ check 101 for $2,250 was given to Mr. Benedict for Dr. B. A. Bosemon. ¦No. 103, payable to Carolin!. National Bank, for $500, was to take up a note for C. S. Minort, held by said bunk; also check No. 49, payable to B. M. Smith or bearer, for $350, marked loan in paren¬ thesis, not endorsed." He saya that in addition to these checks, about the same amount was paid to members and State officers in currency, of which there is a memorandum. To sum up: Checkt issued by Clerk Jones, endorsed-.815,195 Checks payable to bearer, not endorsed.. 3,000 Estimated amount paid out In currency.18,195 Mating a total of........_.$86,390 to pass an appropriation of $250,000 through the House of Representatives. The above testimony of Clerk Jones is sustained by A. Simpkins, E. S. Tarle¬ ton, P. E. Eivers, AbramDannerly, C. F. North, Levi Lae, S. J. Keith, David Graham and others^ who admit that they were paid in checks' for their votes and support of the printing bill; also by Representative Spears and others, in reference .to cash payments made. Spears says: "I voted for the printing claim of the Eepublican Printing Company, and in consideration of my vote A. O. Jones, Clerk of the House and a member of the said company, paid me a certain aum of money, the amount of which I have for¬ gotten." Also in regard to payments to State officials, Gov. F. J. Moses, in his testimony, says he was paid $15,000 for signing the bill appropriating $250,000 for public printing. From the extract of the testimony of Jones, the' humiliating and disgusting fact stands be dly out, that in a House of Representatives of the people of South Carolina, consisting of 121 members, of the session of 1872-73, forty-nine members have' been conclusively proven to have been bribed by their own endorsement of check j received; that in all, according to account keptr by Clerk Jones, there were fifty-three.fifty-two being Republicans and one solitary Dem¬ ocrat. Other members were paid in cash, of which no memorandum was kept. At the session of 1873-74, Jones testified that the following orders were given to the parties named on the books of Col. Benedict, business manager of the Be- 'publican Printing Company, and paid by him in certificates of indebtedness, and were given subsequent to the passage of the act authorizing their issue at tire same session of 1873-74. The appropria¬ tion was $230,000 and interest. Jones gave orders for payment io forty-one members of the House, wbese names ate annexed to his testimony, and the orders are also appended, marked "Exhibit P." These amounts, and much more, as shown by the books of said company, were paid. .On pages 4, 5 and 24 of the ledger of the company the following entries are found, the initials only being used in most cases; and in the expense account the letters "S. S. F." indicate "Secret Service Fund," aud is the amount paid State officers: T. Hurley $5,000, T. Hurley $1,300, O. Mi nort $2,000, 8. J. Lee $5,000, Thos. Hamilton $800, E. H. Gourdin $50, E. H.

Showing that $41,269 was paid to sev¬ enty-one members out of a total of one hundred and twenty-four, seventy-four being Republicans out of a total of one hundred and sis, and three Democrats out of a total of eighteen. Jones is cor¬ roborated in this statement by LeGrand Benedict, who sayst "In the month of December, 1873, 1 paid a large number of certificates of indebtedness to the mem¬ bers of the lower house of tho General Assembly, upon orders made upon me by Mr. Jones. I paid numerous orders of that description, and every one of such payments is a matter of record. I have examined some forty or fifty of such orders preseuted for my inspection by the committee, and am satisfied they were either paid by Mr. Jackson or myself, and I have also examined the account of Clerk Jones and find entries of payments made corresponding with said orders." Clerk Jones is further corroborated sa to payments by the testimony of Represen¬ tatives J. "J. Grant, W. W. Ramsay, Chas. Simms, A. Simpkins, S. J. Keith, R. S. Tarletou, David Graham "and others, who admit the receipts of the sev¬ eral amounts charged up against then. Jones says that on page 24 of the led¬ ger are the following entries: "S. S. F.," $2,600; F. L. Cardoso, $250 ;. S. L. Höge, $5,090; F. J. Moses, Jr., $3,300; F. J. Moses, Jr.."$500; F. L. Cardozo, $9,750; F. L. Cardozo, $7,800; F. J. Moses, Jr., $2.250; F. J. Moses, Jr., $4,254. Those entries were made by W. H. Jackson, Jbook-teeper of the company. In addition to these amounts he says, that "we frequently turned over the cer¬ tificates and other papers belonging to the company," and tnat^he "was bled by the friends over and over again on the same claim." The names on the "little book" are the same which appear on the list of payments made by Clerks Jones and Woodruff as shown by their evidence, which includes amounts paid State offi¬ cers and Senators, with several erasures. On comparison of the "little book" with the ledger of the printing company, we find erasures of tho'following entries: T. C. Dunn, $1,000; J. Hollinshead, $1,000 ; C. D. Hayne, $1,000; W. E. Holcombe, $1,000; W. H. Jone«, $1,000; G. F. Mc- Intyre, $2,000. These erasures were made before the "little book" came into the possession of the committee. Mr. Maxwell, who pre¬ viously had charge of the "little book," testifies as follows: ? Rooms Joint Investigating Com., State Capital, Dec. 18, 1877." Edward J. Maxwell, being dulv sworn, testifies as follows: I am a resident'of the city of Columbia, in this State, and am attorney and counsellor at law. I am familiar with the book marked "L," and commonly known as the "little book." It came into my possession some¬ time in February, in the year 1876, while I was stopping at the Wheeler House in this city. It was handed to me by Dr. W. H. Jackson, formerly connec' ted.with the Republican Printing Com¬ pany of this city. He stated to me that it was a transcript of the books of that company, which he had taken in his own handwriting, while he was in the employ of the company. The book remained in my possession until sometime in the fol¬ lowing winter, when I delivered it to Mr. Mackay, with directions to retain it, sub¬ ject to myprder. It was demanded from me by Jackson, and I declined to give it up. I was informed that he wanted to have it suppressed for various considera¬ tions. I told Mr. Mackay that I gave the book into his custody, solely to avoid remarks which Jackson had been mak¬ ing, to the effect that I had myself made an improper use of the book. The book was handed back to roe for the purpose of producing the same before a commit¬ tee of the Senate. I am familiar with the handwriting of W. H. Jackson, and believe the entries made in this book are written'by him, of which the following is a copy. Ed. J. Maxwell. Tbe testimony of Mr. Maxwell and a comparison of the "little book" with the ledger of the printing company show that the "little book," made the year before the appointment of tbe committee, was s^ faithful transcript of the ledger, and it still is so, except in the matter of the erasures. Your committee find that huge frauds were committed under tbe head of news¬ paper advertising, and that the people were loaded with an oppressive tax to subsidize a venal press in frauds equal in proportion to those of the Carolina or Republican Printing Company. Not satisfied withtbe large sums paid them as leading Senators and Repre¬ sentatives,, many of the same parties filched considerable sums from tbe treas¬ ury for printing the laws in county newspapers established for that purpose. Several instances are on record where a Senator received $5,000 for publishing tbe acts, whilst a paper not owned or controlled by a Senator would have re¬ ceived for the same work about $500. It is a matter of proof that daily news¬ papers were established in Charleston and Columbia, and were in the personal interest of tbe members of tbe ring, and frauds were perpetrated in the making up and collection of such accounts scarcely equalled by any other. With a view of satisfying the General Assembly of the truth of this charge, we will brief¬ ly recite some iustances. James H. Dise- ker, Edwin Forde and Edwiu A. Nelson, all experienced aud practical printers, have carefully and minutely measured all the official advertisements of every description,. contained in files of the Charleston Republican, (large amounts of which were made out and collected in the name of the Carolina Printing Com¬ pany.) They find, and so state, tbat ac¬ cording to the contract made with tbe two clerks for publishing the laws, and the rates charged by such paper for ad¬ vertising, the sum due the paper would be $24,538.20, but on examination of the vouchers paid and in the State Treas¬ urer's office, they find and report that there was paid said paper the extraor¬ dinary sum of $60,982.14 during its ex¬ istence, and at times there was paid the monstrous sum of hecnty-fivt cents a line each, for both daily and weekly Repub¬ lican for publishing the -acta. This con¬ tract is attached to the evidence marked exhibit "E D," as a remarkable curiosity in business matters. Thus it is seen that the State paid $31,396.94 over and above the legitimate sum due, in order that "the organ" of the party in power might subsist. In deed and in truth, the Chane*ton Republican was a lively bonanza that never 'failed to prove a grand sol rce of revenue to some of the modern statesmen. This is established by the largut amounts paid as claims to "the friends" of the Republican, passed from time to time, reaching several thousand dollars, when at the time of the passage of the claim the company had drawn ^largely iu excess of any amount propgrly due it. We refer to paper marked exhibit "A," as a specimen claim of this character, being only one of many in the Treasurer's office. We also refer to the evidence of the printers above named, who say they have ex¬ amined the files of the Columbia Daily Union and rind there was due L. Cass Carpenter, editor and proprietor, the sum of $17,174.05 from November, 1870, to May, 1371, under contract to publish the laws t.t twenty cents per line, aDd the advertised rates for other official ad- vertisijmcati.. Nevertheless the vouchers in the Treasurer's office snow that Mr. Carpenter was paid $59,987.64 for adver¬ tising in his paper, including $6,286 claimed to hare been due for publica¬ tions made in the weekly issue, thus de¬ frauding the State out of $33,526.59 in less than three years. In addition to this Mr. Carpenter was paid a claim of $2,500 for publishing acts in 1874. He was also paid more than $5,000 for furnishing paper; to State officials, members of the General Assembly and other lesser lights of the party. The vouchers show that he received over $10,000 for publishing two acts known as "insurance laws." The evidence of Dr. Neagle, then Comptroller General, and his letter to Mr. Carpenter, herewith submitted as exhibit "J L," shows that the amounts thus collected were without t.ny authori¬ ty of law. In this letter of December 2, 1870, Dr. Neagle refers to having ordered Carpenter to stop all such publication!?. Then it was, according to the testimony of Woodruff and Jones, that they were informed that it was their duty to certify to the correctness of those accounts (by Attorney General Chamberlain.) These accounts so certified were raised by in¬ serting the figure 1 to many of them, all of which was made out in figures, thus indicating a fixed design to raise each by adding one thousand dollars. In further illustration of these palpable frauds, the vouchers show that $18,159 was paid for the publication of the two acts referred to above, in less than three years, both of which contained only 289 lines, equal to about one and a half columns. In the month of December, 1871, these acts were inserted in Daily Union four times .8th, 9th, 20th and 25th.while the vouchers ohow that the State paid $1,720 for such publication. We have no better method of showing the manner by which printing claims were raised than by sub¬ mitting the following evidence : Rooms Joint Investigating Com., Columbia, Feb. 7,1878. Jasper C. Roath, Esq., being recalled, says: That he resides in Columbia, by occupation attorney at law. That he was Kihier of the South Carolina Rank and ust Company, and familiar with the' accounts and orders against the State, having examined a large number of such during his connection with the bank, and believes himself to be competent to judge of the signatures and general writ¬ ing of the various officers of the State government, and also that of L. Cass (Carpenter, so as to be able to express a decided opinion as to whether any ac¬ count made oct by either of the parties named has been altered or raised from the orignal. On examination of the vouchers submitted to him by the com¬ mittee ; he has no hesitation in stating that the account of Daily Union, dated September 17, 1871, has been altered from the original amount of $181.28, to $1,181.28, by the insertion of the figure one (1) in front of the hundreths unit. Account of same paper, March 4,1872, was originally made out for $486.40, and rajsed to $1^86.40 in same way.' Ac¬ count of same paper, dated December 13, 1871, has been altered and raised from the original amount of $720 to $1,7510 iu same way. Account of same paper, of December 13,1871, was ori¬ ginally made out for $878.33, and raised! in same manner to $1,878.83. Account of October 20, 1871, was- originally §784.67, altered in same manner to $1,-, 784.67. Account of Daily Union, of January, 1872, was raised in same man¬ ner from $540 to §1,540. Account of same paper, January 4, 1872, was raised from 195 to 695, by/ altering the figure 1 to 6. Account of January 20, 1872,- was raised and altered from $155 to $655, by changing the figure 1 into a 6. Ac¬ count or same paper, dated February 27, 1873, appears to have been raised from original amounts of $676 to $1,676. I have also examined the accounts sub- mitted'by the committee of Hie Carolina Printing Company, and find that an ac¬ count of $1,500 has been raised to $2,500 by changing the figure 1 to a 2. Have also examined five other accounts of same company, all of which have the appearance of being raised one thousand dollars each, by the insertion of the figure 1 in front of the figures represent¬ ing the hundreds ; in' most cases the 1 was of a different colored ink, and in some instances the other figures have been traced after the insertion of the figure 1, so as to cause them to have a uniform color and appearance. I also find that, in some instances, the blotter was applied to the figure 1 when' in¬ serted, and not upon the other figures. These accounts were for publishing acts of the General Assembly and insurance laws. I think the accounts made out for the Carolina Printing Company repre¬ sent amounts due the Charleston Re¬ publican. I was a member of the Caro¬ lina Printing Company, and kn'ow noth¬ ing of these accounts being raised. The accounts all have the appearance of being paid to L. Cass Carpenter, as Bhown by the State Treasurer s endorse¬ ment on the back of them and Treas¬ urer's numbers. J. C. Roath. Being recalled and sworn: We nave examined the accounts re¬ ferred to in the foregoing evidence of J. C. Roath, and we have no hesitation in corroborating so much of said evidence as relates to the changing and raising of the accounts. J. H. Sawyer, Cashier Central National Bank. C. J. Lkedell, Cashier Carolina National Bank. D. Gambbell, Broker. Contrasted with the accounts of tbe daily papers, hereinbefore referred to, we submit the evidence taken relative to the accounts of the Daily News of Charleston. The contract made with the proprietors of this paper was twenty-five cents per line for publishing the acts in three papers, the daily, tri-weekly and weekly Newt, which was twenty-five cents per line less than was paid to the Charleston Republican for publishing the same acts in the daily and weekly. All accounts of the News were itemized, giv¬ ing the title of the act and date of pub¬ lication in the three papers owned by them, and the number of lines contained in each act. Comment is unnecessary, for the evidence is iu itself a sufficient tribute to the integrity of the proprietors of tbe Newt, and the correctness of their accounts : Joint Investigating Committee, Charleston, S. C, Feb. 18,1878. J. Herman Schulte, being duly sworn, deposes on oath as follows : My name is J. Herman Schulte. I resident 12 Rut- ledge street, in the city of Charleston, and I am by occupation the manager of the Journal of i Commerce. I was in the office of the Charleston News from No¬ vember, If 65, until it was merged into the Neios and Courier, and continued thereafter with the "New* and Courier up to March, 1877. I was at first collector, and afterwards book-keeper. I think I became book-keeper about tbe middle of January, 1871. (Witness referred to the ledger of the Newt and Courier and recognized entries in January, 1871, as in his handwriting.) The measurement of the News and of tbe News and Courier, adopted as to all their advertising custom, was nonpareil measurement, excepting business no¬ tices, which were inserted nt fifteen cents per line, by count of the lines, in 1S71. At that time the rates which the News was charging the State were ten cents a line by nonpareil iner-surcment for the daily, and five cents per line, of similar measurement, for the tri-weekly and weekly. The credit rates of the i\'ews at this time for ordinary customers were in the Daily News, fifteen cents a line nonpareil for first insertion and ten cents a line nonpareil for each subse¬ quent insertion, with a discount of 20° per cent, off for monthly payments to regular advertisers. Rates of tri-weekly and weekly were about the same as the daily to ordinary customers. I was ac¬ customed to make the measurements, and enter the charges for advertising in the office of the Newt in 1871, and I made out all of the bills against the State for advertising, and I am satisfied that tbe measurements are correct. (After measuring advertisements at random, in company with Mr. A. F. Melchers, from the files of the News for the years 1871, 1872 and 1873, witness continued.) P-am still satisfied that the measurements are correct. There is one advertisement charged as 3,413 lines, March 25th, 1871, which, in measurement, is only 3,315 lines, and which, I am satisfied, is a mis« take in counting the hundreds. Tbe generality of the advertisements are charged one or two lines less than the measurement. The.measurement is tbe I same staudard as that of the Journal of I Comaxrce, and used to be the mode of' tbe Charleston Courier also. It is the custom of newspapers to charge for the space taken up, including cuts and all kinds of fat matter. The advertisements I of acts of this Legislature in the News had no cuts, and were leaded in thesame manner as special notices. I do net know of anything unfair in tho mode of inserting those advertisements, or of the j charges for the same, so far as tbe books and tbe files'are concerned. I made nut the bills,, and I feel satisfied they corres¬ pond with the books and files. J. H. Schulte. Joint Investigating Committee, ^ Charleston, S. C, Feb. 18,1878. A. F. Melchers, being duly sworn, says: My name is Adolphus F. Melchers. II reside at 23 Shepherd street, in the city of Charleston, and I am the associate editor of the Zeitung. I have, in com- I pany with Mr. J. S. Schulte, of the Jour¬ nal of Commerce, gone over the advertise- I ments in the News, at random, for tbe years 1871, 1872 and 1873, charged against the State for advertising, and I concur in -the testimony of Mr. Schulte I in relation thereto, having read over said testimony, so far as the mode of measure- I ment, the accuracy of measurement and I the correctness of tbe charges in the books of the News and in the bills pro¬ duced are concerned; and I know of no unfairness in these or any other newspa¬ per accounts for public advertisiog. A. F. Melchers. Joint Investigating Committee, Charleston, February 13,1878. State of South Carolina, Charleston County. Personally appeared before us Thomas I C. Neville, who, being duly sworn, de- poseth and says: That no was foreman of I the Charleston News during the years 1671-72 and 1873, and that all acts and' I joint resolut ions of the General Assembly I published in those years as advertise¬ ments in the Charleston Daily News were also published in the Charleston Tri-1 j Weekly News and in the Charleston Weekly News. T. C. Neville. Sworn to before us this 18th Fobruary, 1878.' S. Dibble. I * J. G. Blue. Joint Invjsstioating.Committee, , Charleston, February 18, 1878. The State of South Carolina. Personally appeared before us Ronwell j T. Logan, who, being duly sworn, says: I That ho is and has been for ten years en I gaged in the advertising agency busi- I ncss; that newspapers, except where I there is a contract to the contrary, charge for the advertising by the space occupied; that where a contract is for so much, per I line, the- charge ia for so many lines of I the standard typo as the space occupied I by the advertisement will hold; that somo papers use agate as their standard J of meeauromout, in which case every J inch occupied would bo charged as four- I teen lines; that is tho usual standard in Now York and other large cities. The standard of the Charleston News and Cou¬ rier and other Charleston papers, and of I papers in many other cities, is nonpareil, I so that each inch occupied by an adver- t tisement is charged at twelve lines. This is the usual standard of Southern city papers, and has been for years. When an advertiser makes a bargain that an advertisement shall be inserted for so much per line, without any other limita¬ tion, it means that tho advertisement shall bo set in tho usual stylo adopted by the paper in which it is published for that I class of advertisements, and charged for [ according to space occupied. 'Roswell T. Logan. j Sworn to before us this 18th February, 1878.' J. G. Blue, S. Dibble.. ' Join:: Investigating Committee, Charleston, S. C, Feb. 18, 1878. . "General William Gurney, being duly Bworn, says: My namo is William Gur¬ ney ; I residB at 41 Queen street, City of I Charleston, and I urn by occupation a merchant. In'the fall of 1872, I think it was, I cashed for Messrs. Riordan, Daw- son <fc Co., of the Charleston New.«, some $4,000 or $5,000 of their accounts' for ad¬ vertising for the State. I cashed them at par, dollar for dollar; that is, a part in cash and a part in my porsonal accoptan- cesat, I think, sixty and ninety days, and I subsequently paid the acceptances at one of the city banks. I know nothing about the accounts, except that they were certified as correct and unpaid by the clerks of tho Sonato and House, respec¬ tively. I was asked to do this by Frank¬ lin J. Moses, Jr., who was then, I think, candidate for Governor, and as an act of personal friendship for him. I was after¬ wards paid the accounts in full at the State treasury. I did not theo have, nor I have I since had, any reason to believe that there was anything wrong about the accounts. If I had thought there was anything wrong about them I would not I hare casned them. J do not know of any I agreement between Governor Moses and tho proprietors of tho News, or any of them, in any way connectod with this transaction;' nor havo I any reason to believe that there was any impropriety in the transaction. I acted in considera¬ tion of friendly relations to both parties. . Wm. Gurnet. I Upon examining the enormous amount I paid for advertising tho laws in the news¬ papers, your committoe rind that for sev¬ eral years a sufficient sum was paid out to havo furnished a bound copy of the laws to ovory voter in the State. " Wo al¬ so rind that thoro was paid for tho sup¬ port of the three administration daily organs tho extrnvagant sum of $106,708, during an averago period of about two years, and the few weeklios recoived within these years $86,105.28 for publish¬ ing the acts, while tho five dailies that were edited by political oppononts re¬ ceived only $12,407.68 for advertising in overy description, including tho publica¬ tion of the acts for four years, and tho twenty-nine weeklies of anti-administra¬ tion record received only $63,793. Referring to Mr. Woodruffs statement that "gratification" printing certificates were issued and divided among members of the Genoral Assembly, the committeo call special attention to the fact that it is corroborated by A. O. Jones generally, aud particularly in un instance where he testifies that "a pnssed claim certificate was issued for $0,000, proceeds to bo di¬ vided between tho members of the House committee on printing." Tho following named persons wore moinbers of that committee: James N. Hayne, Dr. B. A. Bosemon, Rov. H. H. Hunter, John B. Donnis and Barney Humphreys. This certificate w;.is turned over to Jones for collection ; lie sold it at a large discount, and gave Hunter an order on the State treasurer in part payment of his share. Upon the recolpt of tfils order the rever¬ end gentleman became vory indignant, and wrote a letter to Jones, of which the following is a copy: Charleston, S. C, Feb. 17, 1S74. Hon. A, 0. Jona, Columbia, S. C. : Dear Sin.Your favor with draft en¬ closed came to land, and I can scarcely now beliovo that you wero capahlo of do¬ ing what you claim has been done in a claim that 1 was and am so deeply inter¬ ested in. When J. N. Hayno, -Esq., could have gotten sixty cents "on the dol¬ lar, you demurred, and stated that you could not allow any paper of yours tö be sacrificed at three-fifths of its faco value, and now you clni >: that twenty-five cents on Ita faco value you accepted. Sir, I expected that the $1,000 which you told us time and time again was my share, would have netted me at the outside$750, and now it's sold, as you state, it dwin¬ dled down to $208.33. I can't believe you thus mean to act in this matter; but it's left with you. A baso ingrato to frionda always meets his reward. I was your friend, believed your promises, and" ex¬ pect you now, in prosperity to make good all you premised when you depen¬ ded upon me and others, expecting and believing that yo\i are and were perpe¬ trating a huge joke about this matter as obovo, to test my faith in your promises. Yours truly, " Rev. H. H. Hunter. Wo submit two accounts of the Repub¬ lican Printing Company, found in the State treasurer's office which have been paid. This "immigration report therein rcferrod to was not compileftl or printed," but the bills therofor wero paid in full. The 'scheme originated in tho fertile brain of Timothy Hurley, whoso facility to concoct and orcocuto fraudulent meas¬ ures ia su:ficien f.iy well known always to assure success. Tho joint resolution which appropria¬ ted a quarter of n million of dollars at one swoop contained almost as few words as tho account itself, and was rushed through both Houses under the whip of the two clerks, who were all powerful at that time in silencing "tho funds." It will bo observed in tho evidence that tho printing company at this time was coiq- jiosed of tho two clerks, who made up and certified to their own accounts, which wero always increased by asuffi-' cicnt amount to covor all expenses, in¬ cluding bribos and commissions paid to State officials and members of tho Gen- oral Assembly Tho act under which the contract for public printing was awarded had been passed for tho purpose of allow¬ ing the two clerks to have full and un¬ disputed control of the ^printing. The "cii cle of friends" knew them, they bud tried thorn, and they were satisfied with their ."manner of conducting business," the baais of which was that the "lion's share of the spoils" should fall to "the friends," and the remainder find its way to the capacious maw of tho company. While we condomn almost every act of these two clerks, and present them in this unenviable light to the public, it is well to remember that they wore out in reality the subtle tools of corrupt State officials and equally corrupt legislators. They sowed indeed and gleaned, but the others reaped tho harvest: Columbia, S. C, Dec 8,1873. State of South Carolina: To Republican Printing Company, Dr. For the compilation and printing of the report of immigration, ordered by the General Assembly at the session of 1871-73, seventy-five thousand dollars ($75,000.)

I certify that the above is a correct statemon; taken from tho books of this office. S. L. Leaphart, Stato Treasuror. Your committee find it impossible in the examination of a report of such length to detail all the instaiices of ir¬ regularities, peculation and infamous fraud committed in the matter of public printing. The testimony is full of revol¬ ting detail« which could only be furnished by the principals and accomplices in these nefarious transactions. The his¬ tory of the Carolina Printing Company and their offshoots, the Columbia Daily Union and Charleston Republican (if the testimony is to be believed, and surely who can doubt its truth, corroborated as iVis in all essential particulars) is suf¬ ficient in any court to consign almost every peison connected with them to the Peniteotiary for life. Some of these parties to these great crimes are now in prison, whilst many others having de¬ serted their luxurious homes and friends, are fugitives from justice, skulking abroad, yet they and all connected with them in such atrocious deeds should feel deeply grateful that the people of South Carolina, governed by wise and prudent counsels, have attempted, and will at¬ tempt, to bring them to punishment by due process of law, instead of leng ago rising up in a storm of just indignation and wrath, and sweeping them from the face of the earth. Perhaps a veil of charity should, in some degree, be thrown over the poor and ignorant colored men who have been deceived, misled and in¬ criminated by artful, corrupt and shame¬ less leaders, but if in the exercise of great generosity and forbearance, these ignorant men shall be spared, it should teach tbera that dishonesty and fraud will surely meet a merited punishment. There is no security for life, personal liberty or property in any government, except iu the virtue, intelligence and honesty of tho people. And the com¬ mittee think that this report will serve in all future time as a warning that fraud and dishonesty, no matter how long con¬ cealed, some day, like "murder, will out." John R.

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair chocked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can re¬ store the hair where the follicles arc destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling t he hair with a pasty sediment,.it will keep et clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or fairing off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub- * stances which make some prepara¬ tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, tho Vigor can only benefit but not bairn it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, v nothing else can be found so desir¬ able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it^does not sdü white cam¬ bric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. PREPARED BY Dr. J. C.

Neagle all day. Can't get it offmy mind.Dropped in to see Neagle and asked himto make some sort of appropriation andrelieve os. He is a terrible ogre, andregular aucker. and" scare-crow.

.v Tuesday,-February 18, 1873..GaveW. H. Jones, Jr., a check for $500, thatosght to silence him on the printing mat-tor and make him help.Wednesday, January 19,1873..Car-

dczo paid §15,000 more on the printing.Wants us to get McKinnov a piano out

¦S otthat. Propose to draw $1;000 out ofoffice funds for Cardozo.

gg&THUBSDAY, February 20, 1873..ToldLeGrand to send for a piano for McKin-ney. He thought it .was musical gralifi-cation. Holcombe wants some money,so does Kansier.- Have already donewell by Bansier, bnt will take care of hisnotes,

^feiFBiDAY, February 21,1873..The Sen¬ators are mad because I helped Mein tyreto $5,000, for his Colleton Gazette.Saturday, February 22, 1873..They

are striking for more money. Owens,Nash, Gail lard are after me with a sharpstick. Swails wants me to do somethingfor Dr. Moore? That is passing strange.The idea of Patterson's brother-in-lawwanting a pay certificate is something^delightfully funny.; Monday, February 24, 1873.-i-Owenscalled and requested me to draw pay cer¬

tificates for sundry parties. The Presi¬dent refused to sign/until,he saw theSenators. I thought he was right ToldCardnrclli 1^ would take care of Whitte-moreVbiU. Charlie Green and Spexry,of the House, came for money. Sperrysaid he was in distress and bad lostrevery-thing heaver had. That is good, con-i idenng he never had any thing. Prom:ised to help them. -.

Tuesday, February 25, 1873..-Veryheavy demands were macie on' me thismorning by Tim Hurloy and others. IfTim could only*get a certificate for leg¬islative expenses it would throw him on

Cardozo. Whittemore told me a num¬

ber of friends were getting up somethingto surprise me. Owens is probably headin this afiair. Ordered' a big oyster sup-

Ser, at which were present, Nash, Car-ozo, Gaillard, Mclntyrs, Owens, Jones,

Clerk of the House, and others. It was

{.jolly affair, but no presentation.Wednesday, February 26, 1878..

This is the day for adjournment tine die.¦>v What a relief- Have drawn up nearly

rJl my certificates. The President of theSenate refuses to do anything for Hurley,flaw Cardozo and he promised to pay£10,000 of Benedict's certificates. Wascompelled to ward offa good many Sen¬ators. The session to-day lasted till mid-

v night Drew check for J. H. Whi te for$100. The President of the Senate was

puzzled how to act, so as to preaerre'peace in the family. After finishingbusiness had-a grand supper furnishedly Pollock. Present.Lieutenant Gov¬ernor, Judge Wright, Senators Nash,

;'. Jiervey, Cam, Mclntyrc, Lee,' Hayne,,'Clinton, Owens and others.

Saturday, March 22, 1878..Made a

trade with Höge, giving him the Repub¬lican Printing Company's bill- for 11,000and taking 5500 for it. It was a big

.thing.Wednesday, April 16, 1873..Crews

called and I had an amusing chat withhim.. He is a good fellow, and if allwere like him, I could get along with theprinting. Several Senators also called.G-iillard, Maxwell, Jones, Jr., Cain andseveral others. Can't do anything forthem.v It will be, I fear, a dry summer.

' li it not about time for them to dry up II am getting tired of this continuedpressure:Saturday, April 26,1873..Had quite

*a "esson to-day. Sincepurchase of JBoardo/*Trade house, some or myoid acquaint¬ances, who had remained friendly, now

ignoring sap. Amongst the, latter was/

Captain Conrtenay. It can't be helped.I suppose he thinks I have madu- mymcney by some imposition on the pnblic.There may be something in it, and Idon't believe public men with publicbusiness are any of them too careful withtheir overcharges. I can't do bette r withthe printing under the circumstances..Wednesday, May 20, 1873..Höge

proposed to pay billof Republican Print¬ing Cbmpeny by warrant oüA bis contin¬gent fund for $500, and I to give him areceipt for $1,000. Will have to d>> it toget along with business and -keep peacenr. the «unily.

Tuesday, Decentber 2, 1873..Harebeen pressed by tbe House members totell them what Jones is going to do forthem. Would like to help all of them,and especially poor Abram Dannerly.But, goodness gracious! Jones ooght tosatisfy these poor men.Saturday, December 6, 1873..P*d

T. C. Dunn $1.000. W. E. Holcombe$1,000, John Wilson $500, Jerry Hollins-head $500, and others. Did my best to

Senator Jones .$1,000, Clinton $1,250.Hurley got $5,000 from offico. Paid Cor-irin $1,500, Judge Höge $5,000, Whitte-rnore $5,000. Gave orders.'fbr the pay-.ment of others, but they were not paidjnütrtben. The fact is,-if t had not beenlor that $50,000 current printing, I wouldhare been nowhere. Jack Little thoughthe ought to have something, but he can'tget it Gaillard proposed to take $2,000;that's reasonable, and I am glad of it.A great many are complaining of Jones.I cannot help it. He must take care ofthe House, and I will, take care of the.Senate. Should not wonder if Hurley isdissatisfied. Tho Senators are gettingcheeky.Tuesday, December 9,1873..Took a

receipt for $2,400 from Cardozo to-day,.in the nature of a certificate from Frank¬fort for $4,000.Tuesday, December 9, 1878..Paid;

Benedict paid out a good deal on hit ac¬

count to-day. Paid Dickson $300, Max¬well $2,500. The pressure has been verygreat, but I guess we will gat through bydegrees.Thursday, December 11,1873..Nash

was paid off to-day $5,000, and I supposehe feels correspondingly happy. .

Friday, December 26, 1873..Willnot pay a cent hereafter to anyone unlessthey vote and help me pass the appro¬priation for printing. If tbcy do thatthen I will get whatever they call for.Will have to let the Senators pay theirown bills. Was dad to hear that Car-dozo had gone to New York. We havedone all we can or ought to for GovernorMoses.Sunday, December 28, »1873..Had a

visit from Colonel Montgomery-andBouse., Received letters from Benedictrelative to injunctions. The wolves are

after our blood again. Bead Beeehcr'ssermon on "True Economy."- It was notat all applicable to the Legislature.Friday, July 17, 1874..Wish Elliott

would support me for State Treasurer;would at once commence studying financein earnest. My first payments would bethe accounts of the Republican PrintingCompany. Printers are the light of theworld, and should bo taken care of as

preferred creditors.Attention is called to the testimony of

A. O. Jones,- clerk of the House and a

member of the Republican Printing*Company, on this and kindred subjects.He says that the printing was first award¬ed to j. W. Denny, and afterwards to theCarolina Printing Companv, composed ofGov. B. K.* Scott, Attorney GeneralChamberlain, Treasurer Parker, Comp¬troller General Neagle, State PrinterDenny, Anditor Tomhmson, I». Cass Car¬penter, editor of the Daily Uuion, andMorris & Fox, of the Charleston Repub¬lican. The law then provided that thepublic printing "should be paid out ofany moneys in the treasury not otherwiseappropriated." He says we were notaware at that time that this fund waslooked upon as a source of revenue forState: officials and influential members ofthe General Assembly; it soon'' becameapparent, however, that unless we madean agreement to distribute the profits,we would be cleaned out. This necessa¬

rily caused the bills for the work to begreatly increased. "Mr. Woodruff's ex-

Eerience with the State officials was muchirger than mine (Jones'). The passage

of the printing claims, was a special ob¬ject of attack by an army of blackmailerscomposed of State officials, senators,members of the House, editors, lobbyistsand other hungry hangers-on of the Gen¬eral Assembly/' "In order to obtain themoney on our claims," says Jones, "we'were forced by Governor Chamberlainand Treasurer"Cardozo to' support theUnion.the Union-Herald while it exist¬ed. We deemed it politic to satisfy, asnear as possible, these demands. Insteadof following the practice of placing afund in the hands of a few individuals,we undertook the -distribution of' ourfavors and to make them general." Thewitness (Jones) also -submitted a largenumber of checks, now in the, hands ofyour committee, most of them endorsed,representing amounts paid to differentmembers of the House in considerationof their votes, or non-opposition to theprinting frauds that.were being perpe¬trated under the guise of legislation.Your committee deem it proper to ap¬

pend a list of names and amounts, sothat the people of the State may see howuniversal and bare-faced this business ofbribery and corruption hid become inreference to appropriations for publicprinting. The following members ofthe House were paid by check on theSouth Carolina Bank and. Trust Com¬pany, and endorsed for the amounts an¬nexed to their names for^heir support ofthe joint resolution' appropriating $250,-000, approved December 21, 1872:Lew Lee $20, J. C. Tingman $25, Aug.

to pass an appropriation of $250,000through the House of Representatives.The above testimony of Clerk Jones is

sustained by A. Simpkins, E. S. Tarle¬ton, P. E. Eivers, AbramDannerly, C.F. North, Levi Lae, S. J. Keith, DavidGraham and others^ who admit that theywere paid in checks' for their votes andsupport of the printing bill; also byRepresentative Spears and others, inreference .to cash payments made. Spearssays: "I voted for the printing claim ofthe Eepublican Printing Company, andin consideration of my vote A. O. Jones,Clerk of the House and a member of thesaid company, paid me a certain aum ofmoney, the amount of which I have for¬gotten." Also in regard to payments toState officials, Gov. F. J. Moses, in histestimony, says he was paid $15,000 forsigning the bill appropriating $250,000for public printing. From the extract ofthe testimony of Jones, the' humiliatingand disgusting fact stands be dly out,that in a House of Representatives of thepeople of South Carolina, consisting of121 members, of the session of 1872-73,forty-nine members have' been conclusivelyproven to have been bribed by their ownendorsement of check j received; that inall, according to account keptr by ClerkJones, there were fifty-three.fifty-twobeing Republicans and one solitary Dem¬ocrat. Other members were paid in cash,of which no memorandum was kept.At the session of 1873-74, Jones testified

that the following orders were given tothe parties named on the books of Col.Benedict, business manager of the Be-'publican Printing Company, and paid byhim in certificates of indebtedness, andwere given subsequent to the passage ofthe act authorizing their issue at tiresame session of 1873-74. The appropria¬tion was $230,000 and interest. Jonesgave orders for payment io forty-onemembers of the House, wbese names ate

annexed to his testimony, and the ordersare also appended, marked "Exhibit P."These amounts, and much more, as shownby the books of said company, were paid.

Showing that $41,269 was paid to sev¬

enty-one members out of a total of onehundred and twenty-four, seventy-fourbeing Republicans out of a total of onehundred and sis, and three Democratsout of a total of eighteen. Jones is cor¬roborated in this statement by LeGrandBenedict, who sayst "In the month ofDecember, 1873, 1 paid a large numberof certificates ofindebtedness to the mem¬bers of the lower house of tho GeneralAssembly, upon orders made upon me byMr. Jones. I paid numerous orders ofthat description, and every one of suchpayments is a matter of record. I haveexamined some forty or fifty of suchorders preseuted for my inspection by thecommittee, and am satisfied they wereeither paid by Mr. Jackson or myself,and I have also examined the account ofClerk Jones and find entries of paymentsmade corresponding with said orders."Clerk Jones is further corroborated sa topayments by the testimony of Represen¬tatives J. "J. Grant, W. W. Ramsay,Chas. Simms, A. Simpkins, S. J. Keith,R. S. Tarletou, David Graham "andothers, who admit the receipts of the sev¬eral amounts charged up against then.

Jones says that on page 24 of the led¬ger are the following entries: "S. S. F.,"$2,600; F. L. Cardoso, $250 ;. S. L. Höge,$5,090; F. J. Moses, Jr., $3,300; F. J.Moses, Jr.."$500; F. L. Cardozo, $9,750;F. L. Cardozo, $7,800; F. J. Moses, Jr.,$2.250; F. J. Moses, Jr., $4,254.Those entries were made by W. H.

Jackson, Jbook-teeper of the company.In addition to these amounts he says,that "we frequently turned over the cer¬tificates and other papers belonging tothe company," and tnat^he "was bled bythe friends over and over again on thesame claim." The names on the "littlebook" are the same which appear on thelist of payments made by Clerks Jonesand Woodruff as shown by their evidence,which includes amounts paid State offi¬cers and Senators, with several erasures.On comparison of the "little book" withthe ledger of the printing company, wefind erasures of tho'following entries: T.C. Dunn, $1,000; J. Hollinshead, $1,000 ;C. D. Hayne, $1,000; W. E. Holcombe,$1,000; W. H. Jone«, $1,000; G. F. Mc-Intyre, $2,000.These erasures were made before the

"little book" came into the possession ofthe committee. Mr. Maxwell, who pre¬viously had charge of the "little book,"testifies as follows: ?

Rooms Joint Investigating Com.,State Capital, Dec. 18, 1877."

Edward J. Maxwell, being dulv sworn,testifies as follows: I am a resident'ofthe city of Columbia, in this State, andam attorney and counsellor at law. Iam familiar with the book marked "L,"and commonly known as the "littlebook." It came into my possession some¬time in February, in the year 1876,while I was stopping at the WheelerHouse in this city. It was handed to meby Dr. W. H. Jackson, formerly connec'ted.with the Republican Printing Com¬pany of this city. He stated to me thatit was a transcript of the books of thatcompany, which he had taken in his ownhandwriting, while he was in the employof the company. The book remained inmy possession until sometime in the fol¬lowing winter, when I delivered it to Mr.Mackay, with directions to retain it, sub¬ject to myprder. It was demanded fromme by Jackson, and I declined to give itup. I was informed that he wanted tohave it suppressed for various considera¬tions. I told Mr. Mackay that I gavethe book into his custody, solely to avoidremarks which Jackson had been mak¬ing, to the effect that I had myself madean improper use of the book. The bookwas handed back to roe for the purposeof producing the same before a commit¬tee of the Senate. I am familiar withthe handwriting of W. H. Jackson, andbelieve the entries made in this book are

written'by him, of which the following isa copy. Ed. J. Maxwell.Tbe testimony of Mr. Maxwell and a

comparison of the "little book" with theledger of the printing company showthat the "little book," made the yearbefore the appointment of tbe committee,was s^ faithful transcript of the ledger,and it still is so, except in the matter ofthe erasures.Your committee find that huge frauds

were committed under tbe head of news¬

paper advertising, and that the peoplewere loaded with an oppressive tax tosubsidize a venal press in frauds equalin proportion to those of the Carolina or

Republican Printing Company.Not satisfied withtbe large sums paid

them as leading Senators and Repre¬sentatives,, many of the same partiesfilched considerable sums from tbe treas¬ury for printing the laws in countynewspapers established for that purpose.Several instances are on record where aSenator received $5,000 for publishingtbe acts, whilst a paper not owned orcontrolled by a Senator would have re¬ceived for the same work about $500. Itis a matter of proof that daily news¬

papers were established in Charlestonand Columbia, and were in the personalinterest of tbe members of tbe ring, andfrauds were perpetrated in the makingup and collection of such accountsscarcely equalled by any other. With a

view of satisfying the General Assemblyof the truth of this charge, we will brief¬ly recite some iustances. James H. Dise-ker, Edwin Forde and Edwiu A. Nelson,all experienced aud practical printers,have carefully and minutely measuredall the official advertisements of everydescription,. contained in files of theCharleston Republican, (large amounts ofwhich were made out and collected inthe name of the Carolina Printing Com¬pany.) They find, and so state, tbat ac¬

cording to the contract made with tbetwo clerks for publishing the laws, andthe rates charged by such paper for ad¬vertising, the sum due the paper wouldbe $24,538.20, but on examination of thevouchers paid and in the State Treas¬urer's office, they find and report thatthere was paid said paper the extraor¬

dinary sum of $60,982.14 during its ex¬

istence, and at times there was paid themonstrous sum of hecnty-fivt cents a line

each, for both daily and weekly Repub¬lican for publishing the -acta. This con¬tract is attached to the evidence markedexhibit "E D," as a remarkable curiosityin business matters. Thus it is seenthat the State paid $31,396.94 over andabove the legitimate sum due, in orderthat "the organ" of the party in powermight subsist. In deed and in truth,the Chane*ton Republican was a livelybonanza that never 'failed to prove a

grand sol rce of revenue to some of themodern statesmen. This is establishedby the largut amounts paid as claims to"the friends" of the Republican, passedfrom time to time, reaching severalthousand dollars, when at the time ofthe passage of the claim the companyhad drawn ^largely iu excess of anyamount propgrly due it. We refer to

paper marked exhibit "A," as a specimenclaim of this character, being only one

of many in the Treasurer's office. Wealso refer to the evidence of the printersabove named, who say they have ex¬

amined the files of the Columbia DailyUnion and rind there was due L. CassCarpenter, editor and proprietor, thesum of $17,174.05 from November, 1870,to May, 1371, under contract to publishthe laws t.t twenty cents per line, aDdthe advertised rates for other official ad-vertisijmcati.. Nevertheless the vouchersin the Treasurer's office snow that Mr.Carpenter was paid $59,987.64 for adver¬tising in his paper, including $6,286claimed to hare been due for publica¬tions made in the weekly issue, thus de¬frauding the State out of $33,526.59 inless than three years. In addition to thisMr. Carpenter was paid a claim of $2,500for publishing acts in 1874. He was

also paid more than $5,000 for furnishingpaper; to State officials, members of theGeneral Assembly and other lesser lightsof theparty. The vouchers show that hereceived over $10,000 for publishing twoacts known as "insurance laws."

The evidence of Dr. Neagle, thenComptroller General, and his letter toMr. Carpenter, herewith submitted as

exhibit "J L," shows that the amountsthus collected were without t.ny authori¬ty of law. In this letter of December 2,1870, Dr. Neagle refers to having orderedCarpenter to stop all such publication!?.Then it was, according to the testimonyof Woodruff and Jones, that they wereinformed that it was their duty to certifyto the correctness of those accounts (byAttorney General Chamberlain.) Theseaccounts so certified were raised by in¬serting the figure 1 to many of them, allof which was made out in figures, thusindicating a fixed design to raise each byadding one thousand dollars. In furtherillustration of these palpable frauds, thevouchers show that $18,159 was paid forthe publication of the two acts referredto above, in less than three years, bothof which contained only 289 lines, equalto about one and a half columns. Inthe month of December, 1871, these actswere inserted in Daily Union four times.8th, 9th, 20th and 25th.while thevouchers ohow that the State paid $1,720for such publication. We have no bettermethod of showing the manner bywhichprinting claims were raised than by sub¬mitting the following evidence :

Rooms Joint Investigating Com.,Columbia, Feb. 7,1878.

Jasper C. Roath, Esq., being recalled,says: That he resides in Columbia, byoccupation attorney at law. That he was

Kihier of the South Carolina Rank andust Company, and familiar with the'

accounts and orders against the State,having examined a large number of suchduring his connection with the bank,and believes himself to be competent to

judge of the signatures and general writ¬ing of the various officers of the Stategovernment, and also that of L. Cass(Carpenter, so as to be able to express a

decided opinion as to whether any ac¬

count made oct by either of the partiesnamed has been altered or raised fromthe orignal. On examination of thevouchers submitted to him by the com¬mittee ; he has no hesitation in statingthat the account of Daily Union, datedSeptember 17, 1871, has been alteredfrom the original amount of $181.28, to

$1,181.28, by the insertion of the figureone (1) in front of the hundreths unit.Account of same paper, March 4,1872,was originally made out for $486.40, andrajsed to $1^86.40 in same way.' Ac¬count of same paper, dated December13, 1871, has been altered and raisedfrom the original amount of $720 to$1,7510 iu same way. Account of same

paper, of December 13,1871, was ori¬ginally made out for $878.33, and raised!in same manner to $1,878.83. Accountof October 20, 1871, was- originally§784.67, altered in same manner to $1,-,784.67. Account of Daily Union, ofJanuary, 1872, was raised in same man¬ner from $540 to §1,540. Account ofsame paper, January 4, 1872, was raisedfrom 195 to 695, by/ altering the figure1 to 6. Account of January 20, 1872,-was raised and altered from $155 to $655,by changing the figure 1 into a 6. Ac¬count or same paper, dated February 27,1873, appears to have been raised fromoriginal amounts of $676 to $1,676.I have also examined the accounts sub-mitted'by the committee of Hie CarolinaPrinting Company, and find that an ac¬count of $1,500 has been raised to $2,500by changing the figure 1 to a 2. Havealso examined five other accounts ofsame company, all of which have theappearance of being raised one thousanddollars each, by the insertion of thefigure 1 in front of the figures represent¬ing the hundreds ; in' most cases the 1was of a different colored ink, and insome instances the other figures havebeen traced after the insertion of thefigure 1, so as to cause them to have auniform color and appearance. I alsofind that, in some instances, the blotterwas applied to the figure 1 when' in¬serted, and not upon the other figures.These accounts were for publishing actsof the General Assembly and insurancelaws. I think the accounts made out forthe Carolina Printing Company repre¬sent amounts due the Charleston Re¬publican. I was a member of the Caro¬lina Printing Company, and kn'ow noth¬ing of these accounts being raised. Theaccounts all have the appearance ofbeing paid to L. Cass Carpenter, asBhown by the State Treasurer s endorse¬ment on the back of them and Treas¬urer's numbers. J. C. Roath.Being recalled and sworn:We nave examined the accounts re¬

daily papers, hereinbefore referred to,we submit the evidence taken relative tothe accounts of the Daily News ofCharleston. The contract made with theproprietors of this paper was twenty-fivecents per line for publishing the acts inthree papers, the daily, tri-weekly andweekly Newt, which was twenty-fivecents per line less than was paid to theCharleston Republican for publishing thesame acts in the daily and weekly. Allaccounts of the News were itemized, giv¬ing the title of the act and date of pub¬lication in the three papers owned bythem, and the number of lines containedin each act. Comment is unnecessary,for the evidence is iu itself a sufficienttribute to the integrity of the proprietorsof tbe Newt, and the correctness of theiraccounts :Joint Investigating Committee,

Charleston, S. C, Feb. 18,1878.J. Herman Schulte, being duly sworn,

deposes on oath as follows : My name isJ. Herman Schulte. I resident 12 Rut-ledge street, in the city of Charleston,and I am by occupation the manager ofthe Journal ofi Commerce. I was in theoffice of the Charleston News from No¬vember, If 65, until it was merged into

the Neios and Courier, and continuedthereafter with the "New* and Courier upto March, 1877. I was at first collector,and afterwards book-keeper. I think Ibecame book-keeper about tbe middleof January, 1871. (Witness referred tothe ledger of the Newt and Courier andrecognized entries in January, 1871, as

in his handwriting.)The measurement of the News and of

tbe News and Courier, adopted as to alltheir advertising custom, was nonpareilmeasurement, excepting business no¬

tices, which were inserted nt fifteencents per line, by count of the lines, in1S71. At that time the rates which theNews was charging the State were tencents a line by nonpareil iner-surcmentfor the daily, and five cents per line, ofsimilar measurement, for the tri-weeklyand weekly. The credit rates of thei\'ews at this time for ordinary customerswere in the Daily News, fifteen cents aline nonpareil for first insertion and tencents a line nonpareil for each subse¬quent insertion, with a discount of 20°per cent, off for monthly payments toregular advertisers. Rates of tri-weeklyand weekly were about the same as thedaily to ordinary customers. I was ac¬customed to make the measurements,and enter the charges for advertising inthe office of the Newt in 1871, and Imade out all of the bills against the Statefor advertising, and I am satisfied thattbe measurements are correct. (Aftermeasuring advertisements at random, incompany with Mr. A. F. Melchers, fromthe files of the News for the years 1871,1872 and 1873, witness continued.) P-amstill satisfied that the measurements are

correct. There is one advertisementcharged as 3,413 lines, March 25th, 1871,which, in measurement, is only 3,315lines, and which, I am satisfied, is a mis«take in counting the hundreds. Tbegenerality of the advertisements are

charged one or two lines less than themeasurement. The.measurement is tbe

I same staudard as that of the Journal ofI Comaxrce, and used to be the mode of'tbe Charleston Courier also. It is thecustom of newspapers to charge for thespace taken up, including cuts and allkinds of fat matter. The advertisements

I of acts of this Legislature in the Newshad no cuts, and were leaded in thesamemanner as special notices. I do netknow of anything unfair in tho mode ofinserting those advertisements, or of the

j charges for the same, so far as tbe booksand tbe files'are concerned. I made nutthe bills,, and I feel satisfied they corres¬

pond with the books and files.J. H. Schulte.

I line, the- charge ia for so many lines ofI the standard typo as the space occupiedI by the advertisement will hold; thatsomo papers use agate as their standard

J of meeauromout, in which case everyJ inch occupied would bo charged as four-

I teen lines; that is tho usual standard inNow York and other large cities. Thestandard of the Charleston News and Cou¬rier and other Charleston papers, and of

I papers in many other cities, is nonpareil,I so that each inch occupied by an adver-t tisement is charged at twelve lines. This

is the usual standard of Southern citypapers, and has been for years. Whenan advertiser makes a bargain that anadvertisement shall be inserted for somuch per line, without any other limita¬tion, it means that tho advertisementshall bo set in tho usual stylo adopted bythe paper in which it is published for that

"General William Gurney, being dulyBworn, says: My namo is William Gur¬ney ; I residB at 41 Queen street, City of

I Charleston, and I urn by occupation a

merchant. In'the fall of 1872, I think itwas, I cashed for Messrs. Riordan, Daw-son <fc Co., of the Charleston New.«, some$4,000 or $5,000 of their accounts' for ad¬vertising for the State. I cashed them atpar, dollar for dollar; that is, a part incash and a part in my porsonal accoptan-cesat, I think, sixty and ninety days, andI subsequently paid the acceptances atone of the city banks. I know nothingabout the accounts, except that they were

certified as correct and unpaid by theclerks of tho Sonato and House, respec¬tively. I was asked to do this by Frank¬lin J. Moses, Jr., who was then, I think,candidate for Governor, and as an act ofpersonal friendship for him. I was after¬wards paid the accounts in full at theState treasury. I did not theo have, nor

I have I since had, any reason to believethat there was anything wrong about theaccounts. If I had thought there was

anything wrong about them I would notI hare casned them. J do not know of anyI agreement between Governor Moses andtho proprietors of tho News, or any ofthem, in any way connectod with thistransaction;' nor havo I any reason tobelieve that there was any improprietyin the transaction. I acted in considera¬tion of friendly relations to both parties.

. Wm. Gurnet.I Upon examining the enormous amountI paid for advertising tho laws in the news¬papers, your committoe rind that for sev¬eral years a sufficient sum was paid outto havo furnished a bound copy of thelaws to ovory voter in the State.

"

Wo al¬so rind that thoro was paid for tho sup¬port of the three administration dailyorgans tho extrnvagant sum of $106,708,during an averago period of about twoyears, and the few weeklios recoivedwithin these years $86,105.28 for publish¬ing the acts, while tho five dailies thatwere edited by political oppononts re¬ceived only $12,407.68 for advertising inovery description, including tho publica¬tion of the acts for four years, and thotwenty-nine weeklies of anti-administra¬tion record received only $63,793.Referring to Mr. Woodruffs statement

that "gratification" printing certificateswere issued and divided among membersof the Genoral Assembly, the committeocall special attention to the fact that it iscorroborated by A. O. Jones generally,aud particularly in un instance where hetestifies that "a pnssed claim certificatewas issued for $0,000, proceeds to bo di¬vided between tho members of the Housecommittee on printing." Tho followingnamed persons wore moinbers of thatcommittee: James N. Hayne, Dr. B. A.Bosemon, Rov. H. H. Hunter, John B.Donnis and Barney Humphreys. Thiscertificate w;.is turned over to Jones forcollection ; lie sold it at a large discount,and gave Hunter an order on the Statetreasurer in part payment of his share.Upon the recolpt of tfils order the rever¬

end gentleman became vory indignant,

and wrote a letter to Jones, of which thefollowing is a copy:

Charleston, S. C, Feb. 17, 1S74.Hon. A, 0. Jona, Columbia, S. C. :

Dear Sin.Your favor with draft en¬closed came to land, and I can scarcelynow beliovo that you wero capahlo of do¬ing what you claim has been done in aclaim that 1 was and am so deeply inter¬ested in. When J. N. Hayno, -Esq.,could have gotten sixty cents "on the dol¬lar, you demurred, and stated that youcould not allow any paper of yours tö besacrificed at three-fifths of its faco value,and now you clni >: that twenty-fivecents on Ita faco value you accepted. Sir,I expected that the $1,000 which you toldus time and time again was my share,would have netted me at the outside$750,and now it's sold, as you state, it dwin¬dled down to $208.33. I can't believe youthus mean to act in this matter; but it'sleft with you. A baso ingrato to friondaalways meets his reward. I was yourfriend, believed your promises, and" ex¬

pect you now, in prosperity to makegood all you premised when you depen¬ded upon me and others, expecting andbelieving that yo\i are and were perpe¬trating a huge joke about this matter asobovo, to test my faith in your promises.Yours truly,

Rev. H. H. Hunter.Wo submit two accounts of the Repub¬

lican Printing Company, found in theState treasurer's office which have beenpaid. This "immigration report thereinrcferrod to was not compileftl or printed,"but the bills therofor wero paid in full.The 'scheme originated in tho fertilebrain of Timothy Hurley, whoso facilityto concoct and orcocuto fraudulent meas¬ures ia su:ficien f.iy well known alwaysto assure success.Tho joint resolution which appropria¬

ted a quarter of n million of dollars at one

swoop contained almost as few words as

tho account itself, and was rushedthrough both Houses under the whip ofthe two clerks, who were all powerful atthat time in silencing "tho funds." Itwill bo observed in tho evidence that thoprinting company at this time was coiq-jiosed of tho two clerks, who made upand certified to their own accounts,which wero always increased by asuffi-'cicnt amount to covor all expenses, in¬cluding bribos and commissions paid toState officials and members of tho Gen-oral Assembly Tho act under which thecontract for public printing was awardedhad been passed for tho purpose of allow¬ing the two clerks to have full and un¬disputed control of the ^printing. The"cii cle of friends" knew them, they budtried thorn, and they were satisfied withtheir ."manner of conducting business,"the baais of which was that the "lion'sshare of the spoils" should fall to "thefriends," and the remainder find its wayto the capacious maw of tho company.While we condomn almost every act ofthese two clerks, and present them inthis unenviable light to the public, it iswell to remember that they wore out inreality the subtle tools of corrupt Stateofficials and equally corrupt legislators.They sowed indeed and gleaned, but theothers reaped tho harvest:

Stato Treasuror.Your committee find it impossible in

the examination of a report of suchlength to detail all the instaiices of ir¬regularities, peculation and infamousfraud committed in the matter of publicprinting. The testimony is full of revol¬ting detail« which could only be furnishedby the principals and accomplices inthese nefarious transactions. The his¬tory of the Carolina Printing Companyand their offshoots, the Columbia DailyUnion and Charleston Republican (if thetestimony is to be believed, and surelywho can doubt its truth, corroborated asiVis in all essential particulars) is suf¬ficient in any court to consign almostevery peison connected with them to thePeniteotiary for life. Some of theseparties to these great crimes are now inprison, whilst many others having de¬serted their luxurious homes and friends,are fugitives from justice, skulkingabroad, yet they and all connected withthem in such atrocious deeds should feeldeeply grateful that the people of SouthCarolina, governed by wise and prudentcounsels, have attempted, and will at¬

tempt, to bring them to punishment bydue process of law, instead of leng agorising up in a storm of just indignationand wrath, and sweeping them from theface of the earth. Perhaps a veil ofcharity should, in some degree, be thrownover the poor and ignorant colored menwho have been deceived, misled and in¬criminated by artful, corrupt and shame¬less leaders, but if in the exercise ofgreat generosity and forbearance, theseignorant men shall be spared, it shouldteach tbera that dishonesty and fraud willsurely meet a merited punishment.There is no security for life, personal

liberty or property in any government,except iu the virtue, intelligence andhonesty of tho people. And the com¬

mittee think that this report will servein all future time as a warning that fraudand dishonesty, no matter how long con¬

cealed, some day, like "murder, will out."John R. Cochran, Chairman.'Henry A. Meetze,
