B'ninut this Mute bus euumiuuti a par

lore, to rcctrict their ofjrts to tho prc

field alone. Tho report is confined to
a statement ol tho Irauitnlent ami ex
travagant expenditures authorized by
tba General Assemblies and various
State officers under tbe bead ol " Sup
plies." This titlo is truly a general
and comprehensive one, but tho reader
ill nnu tbat it is eminently appropri
ate as a desiirnation of the infinite
variety and amount of articles and
transactions covered by luo term.
The entiro evidence, it must be re
membered, is derived from the sworn
totitimony of ex-oflicials of tbe lulo Re
publican Administration and that of
hundreds of tbe members of tho several
Legislatures who were themselves the
guilty recipients of articles paid for
" by the State" on tbo warrants of tho
officials who wore charged with the
duty of protecting her interosts.
now nit accounts wean paid.
One witness, Josephus Woodruff, tho
late Clerk of the Semite, stntes simply
tbat " under tho bead ot supplies was
embraced anything that a Senator
choso to order. Thcso orders were
generally given through tbo Clerk of
the Senate, and tbe accounts woro ren
dered against bim. At first tbo orders
were moderate and included only sla
lionery and pwMugo stumps, but they
gradually increased until tbey assumed
gigantic proportions.'' At first the
inountB woro ordered to oe deducted
from their pay, but very soon tho
orders largely exceeded their pay, and
tbe accounts " were then included in
tbo reports of the Committee on Con
tingent Accounts, and pay certificates
wore thus issued lor every variety of
merchandise. In addition to this, pay
certificates were drawn and turned
over to the Chairman of tbe Committee
on Contingent Accounts for collection
and distribution." As these mutters
became common the Senators claimed
tbat all their ci pontics should be paid
by tbo State, or, in tbo language of
one of them, " the Slato bad no right
to be a state unlcsa she could pay and
take caro of bcr statesmen." Tho
Clerk ol the Senate testifies that " grati
fication certificates (or gills) were fre
quently issued for the benefit of the
Senators. Senators (iaillardand Jermy,
of Charleston, testify to the truth ol
tbis statement and acknowledge that
thoy received certificates so issued
Tbe Touchers found in tho Statu Treas
urer's office show tbat in one session
there was expended, under the heads
oi "supplies, sundries and incidental ex
pense not less than 1350,000, (125,.
000 ol which was spent for refresh
monts, including the finest wines,
liquors and cigars. Tba practices
above referred to " became so general
as to embraco nearly every Ilepublican
member and several Democratic Nona-
tors. Such aocounta came to be re
garded as privileged matters, and tho
Senato rule requiring all reports to lie
over one day was generally suspended,
and toe renorl considered at once and
tba accounts ordered to be paid with
out a dissenting voice." Senators left
private accounts with tbe Chairman ol
tbe Committee on Continent Accounts,
and tbey were returned to them set
tled, and recoiptcd. To preserve ap
pearances the accounts were generally
presented in tbe Senate, together with
ono or more good ones, and the titles
and amounts ot the latter being read
aloud tbe fraudulent ones woro included
io the phrase, "and others," and all
were ordered paid together.
Tilt LIQISLATIVI BAR ROOM.
A room adjoining tbat ot the Clerk
of the Senate in the Stato House was
fitted up w herein to servo wines, liquors,
eatables and cigars to Slato ofbcials,
Senators, members of tbe House and
their friends at all hours ol tho day
and night. Several witnesses testify
that this room was visited daily " by
Stato officials, Judges, Senators, mem
bers of tbe House, lawyers, editors,
newspaper reporters and citizens gen
erally, irrespective of parly, and that
tbey discussed matters Mate and na
tional, in the most agrceablo manner
over tboir sparkling glasses." The
colored porter who waited in tbis rare
saloon testifies that lor six years it was
generally kept open from 8 o clock A. M,
until Irora i to 4 o clock the next morn
ing ; that during these hours some ono
was always present, eating, smoking
or drinking, and that Sunday, as may
well be behoved, " was no exception.
Many of the members wonld be in the
room before breakfast hunting lor a
drink, or, as they called it, '.' an eye-
opener." Tbis witness gavo tho names
of two Democratic Senators who woro
wont to frequent this bar-room. He
estimates the quantity of liquor (or
wniskyi drank daily at several gallons,
besides large quantities of wine, aloand
portor. Tbe best cigars woro furnished
and tbe waiter lound it difficult to sup.
ply tbe demand, as many of his ens.
tomers filled one or two of their pock
ets upon leaving, and would frequently
carry off a bottle of champagno in the
same way." The reader only needs to
be reminded here, in place of comment,
tbat no member waa required to pay
lor what be got tho Slato looted all
the bills. In addition to the refresh
ments furnished at the Slate House
large quantities were sent to tho hotels.

WIIOLXSALK LIQUOR kUl'I'Llts.
Concerning tho accouut ol Hardy
Solomon, the liquor merchant above
menlioneu, ui record ot vouchers
shows thut in the year 1872 there were
issued Io him puy certificates to tbo
amount ol --1,,1X0,jU, while bis item.
ir.ed account shows that there wus duo
him for the years 1871-72 only til,
203.48, proving thut be was puid (13,-
177.02 over thu amount which he
claimed to have been turnished by him.
The evidence shows that on Man h 4,
1S72, Solomon furnished tbo Senate
(l,tiill worth of wines sntl liquors, and
on the 7th day of the same month liko
articles to tho amount of (1,852. 75,
aggregating (3,483.75. Tbis amount
wus purchased " for the Senate " with
in three duys, and large amounts woro
furnished to thu House at tho samo
time, and still other amnunls were f ur
nished to the Senate during same week
by other parlies. Other vouchers nliow
that Mr. Solomon alone furnished tho
Ilouso with (5,877.15 worth of wines
and liquors within two months. Mr.
Solomon testifies that " be had no diffi
culty in making collections while they
did business with him." It thus clearly
appears thut bills contracted for the
gratification of the legislators wero
promptly paid lit a time when the vilest
criminals were pardoned out of thu
penitentiary ' tokoep them from starv
ing," and when the inmates of tho
Lunatic Asylum mid other Slato chari
table institutions were acluitlly suffer
ing from want of food and clothing,
while tho free schools were all closed
and their teachers refused any, thu
smallest, compensation for months of
labor.
These fraudulent expenditures were
not confined to any. one your. Other
vouchers for the year 1871 show that
from tbo 1st to the 7th of March wines
and liquors wero purchased to tho
amount of (3,157.80, an average of more

Somo ol the prices puid for thcso

lager beer, (4.50 per dozen ; cigars, 820
per hundred ; champagne, (40 porcuse;
port w ine, ( 10 per dozen. A calcula
tion shows that to use up all the
liquors that were purchased required
each member of the House and Senato
to consume one gallon per day, with a
few byUlc! of ale and nine thrown in
for good measure. The number ol
cigars per day averaged one dozen to
cuch member. The item ol fruits lur
nished the members at sundry times is
also a considerable one. ne dealer's
account for a very short lime amounts
to (1,080.
ri'RNITt'RE l'A 1 1. t'OU I1Y Tilt STATE.
In addition to the evidence already
specified, tho frauds shows that over
(200,000 was paid out within lour years
lor furniture alone. Of tbis amount
the dealers who supplied it testily un
der oath that only about ( 17,700 worth,
appraised at the prices paid for it, is
now on band at the Stato House. Mr.
Kerry, ono of thcso dealers, testifies
that ho furnished a largo number ot so
called committee rooms outsido of the
Slute House, besides at least forty pri
vate bedrooms of member, in different
bouses in tho city. Among those so
furnished wero the rooms occupied by
W. ,1. Whippor, tho notorious negro
Judge elocled at tho same timo with
J. Moses. Somo ol these rooms he
furnished as often as tbrco times in
succession, while almost all the offices
in thoState llouso were furnished anew
every session. The Sere-cant at-Armsot
the House testifies at length to tho
samo facts. He does not know what
became of tho furniture, but " whun he
attempted to collect it, be was told by
tho recipients that it was nono ol bis
Dusiness, and be conscqneutly troubled
himself no more about it." Large
quantities ot furmturo wero furnished
by him every session, and it all disap
peared as soon as tbo uencral Assem
bly adjourned, only to bo replaced at
the order ol tho speaker or somo com
mttletj 01iwtrtnn e. ike vopfinning of
tho next session. It was always paid
for in legitimate pay certificates. Gen
eral John li. Dennis testifies that he
purchased furniture lor forty rooms,
including the offices of tbe Governor,
Attorney General, Comptroller General
and Kepreaentalivo Hull. A majority
of the members then combined against
tho persons who furnished tbo goods,
and demanded to be paid for voting for
tho claims. Tho bills were accordingly
mora than doubled, certificates issued,
and the surplus divided among tbo
members. Tbo Chairman of tho Com
mitteo on Claims reported (12,810, and
tbo remainder wad divided between
filly other members in sums ranging
from (100 to (3,000 each. The names
ot all the members and the sum
each received is specified and proved
by vouchors. P. J. Moses is so slated
to have received (5,000. o Of tho clocks,
which cost from (150 to (000 each, and
of the several mirrors which cost (000
each, but one remains. Dennis furtbor
testifies that in the Spring or Summer
oi lawj tbe notorious U. I'. Leslie pur
chased a lot of furniture for his private
rosidcnco wnicb Governor ncott "paid
for out of some fund or other."
HOW ACCOUNTS tlRRW.
As a further illustration of the man
ner of proceeding it is slated that two
tbin deal partitions were erected in as
many committee rooms, for which a
bill waa rendered and paid to the
amount of (1,300. The accounts were
originally (50 for oaeh partition, and
tho figure 6 was prefixed. Tho same
work ran no done to day lor less than
(25. Under the same bead of " furni
ture," accounts wero rendered for
horses, mules, carriages and buggies
purchased by tbw members, and the
accounts duly passed and paid by the
State. Tho accounts for carpeting
amounted to several thousand dollars
por annum. It would have required
i nly 1,300 yards to have carpeted all
the rooms in the Slate llouso and the
" committee roorr.s " outside. During
ono session alone, however, d,G58 yards
ot carpeting, more tban one thousand
of which was the finest Iirussels, was
purchased and paid for. Gen. Dennis
and the Sergeant at-Arms both testify
" that the committee room were fur
nished with new carpels every suasion,
which wore aa regularly carried away
in the Spring of tbe year." Some of it
was shipped to Massachusetts. It only
remains to be added in this connection
that It is in evidence that the bouses
ol prostitution in the city ol Columbia
wero likewise titled aptiy the mem tiers,
tbeir constant patrons, in the richest,
most costly style, at tbe exnenso of tbe
State.
QV1ER RTATTONEEr.
Under the head of " stationery " all
manner of articles w.ro supplied to the
membeia without charge The evi
dence shows that the average member
never recoivod more tban (10 in actual
stationer's material ; but the bills ren
dered and puid by the State in one ses
sion alone amounted to (08,000.
Clerk Jones testifies; "Stationery
included refreshments, dry (roods, irro-
I'ctaVE-r; M -f,.ni'.t:i?fi -LlMriits .;pd '
merchandise, and the names used in
the accounts wero generally myths."
During ono session every Senator got
a (2S inkstand and a Webster's Un
abridged. Tho Senate consumed (10
worth of postage stumps daily and
scrawled with (10 gold pens. Tbo
Western Union accounts show that the
State paid for the legislators' telegrams.
Isuaa Sulzbauber furnished jewelry to
tho very reverend Senator, Wm. John

tastes of the ignorant nogrous and pen

or. ioiono wood stove was in uso.
Tho wood waa lurnished by Mr. Crows
directly to any member who asked for
it, and by Mr. Maryant to Senators
Whittomoro, Maxwell and others.
Thousands of dollars were spent annu
ally for stoves for " committee rooms "
and tbe committee stole the stove after
each session, thousands were spoilt
for soap, bair-brushes and towels. The
Slate officials, legislators, clerks and at
tendants were supplied with the daily
papers iree, ann wnn novels, law and
other books. (The schools were closed
from poverty.) Besides furnishing tbe
" committee rooms," which were bed
rooms), the Stale paid rent for thorn

Mr. Jones says these " myths " were

HOW ABOUT THE HONEST TRADESMEN.
In conclusion the committee say
Your committee foul assured that no
language, by way of comment, would
add toice to tho simple statement ol
tacts attending this ora ol revelry, em
bracing peculation, embezzlements and
robberies of a character hitherto un
known in South Carolina. Tbo perpe
trators aro covered with infamy and
disgrace, and should be pursued dur
ing their natural lives wilb tbe sword
o! justice hanging by tbe thread ovor
men ucevjn. nut in justice to tue non
est tux-jiuyera of the Slate, what can
be said to relieve thoso merchants and
dealers who participated in tboir profits
arising Irotn such stupendous frauds f
Tbe teitimony submitted shows that
thoso persons cither were recklcBS of
tbe iiile.-eist ol tbe people of the Slate,
or winked at connived at, or colluded
with tbo robbers to fleece the people
a collusion as humiliating as the fuels
are disgraceful and culpable. We re
gret to place tbis on record ; but it is
truo, and tbo lucts as proved justify
your committee in joining with the
good people ol tbo Stato in denouncing
sut-u conuuet now and lorever.
