So far from keeping faith with their past promises in ald of economy and reform the members of the South Carolin Legislature, as the session draws to a close, are making every use of the few remaining days to further additional! projects of corruption. ‘This morning the House voted to strike out the enacting clause of the bill providing for payment of past due interest on the State debt. This evening the Ways and Means Committee re- ported unfavorably on the bill to validate the various issues of State bonds, some of which, tt 18 alleged, were illegally put upon the market. Kemp- ton, the financial agent, has been here for weeks, trying to lobby this measure through and shield himself; but, judgiag by to-mght’s debate, his el- torts will be unsuccessful, The most stupendous fraud, however, is the bill granting aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad, which has already passed the House and is certain to pass the Senate to-morrow, as, on its second reading tn that body, there were but six votes in opposition. The Passage of this bill, which has been effected by the most glaring “side warp,’’ saddles the State with an extra ooligation of $2,000,000, ‘The Union Trust Company, through Mr. Wesley, have raised their demand for compounding the State debt from fifty to seventy-five cents on the dollar which preciudes the possibility of effecting the negotiation. ‘There 1s evidently no desire of the present Legis. lature, which adjourns next week, to either protect the bondholders or make any effort to redeem the State from its present insolvency.

Bold Robbery in Broad Street Last Night— A Jeweller Robbed and Beaten Almost to Deat Newark bids fair to eclipse Brooklyn in the matter of crime and rampant ruffianism. Scarcely a day has passed of late but one or more serious cases of outlawry have been reported. The bold attempt to rob Mr. Thomas Price in broad daylight last Friday has already been detailed inthe HERALD, Yesterday witnessed another chapter of crimes, the boldest and most serious of which occurred about nine o'clock last night. At that hour Mr. George H. Bannister, jeweller, was in his store, 504 Broad street, preparing to leave for the night, when suddenly three ruffianly loo! customers entered, leaving two more on the sidewalk. One of the two instantly made a desperate onsiaugnt on Mr. Bannister, Knocked him down and then kicked him in @ most brutal manner. In the mean- while the others smashed in the show windows and glass cases and secured watches, chains, &c., to the value of about $1,000. ‘They were preparing to blow open tne safe, but hearing footsteps on the stairs they cleared out with the booty in their pos- session. Mr. Bannister was so helpless from his in- juries as to be unable .o move. It is feared that he 1s dangerously hurt internally from the kicking he received. His head and face last might presented a norrible spectacle and were swollen to the size of a reasonable sized pumpkin. It was nearly an hour afterwards before a policeman hove in sight.

To tHe Epiror oF THR HERALD:— In your edition of Sunday appears a statement regording the management of this institution which we feel it a duty to correct. Mr. Dexter Hawkins asserts deliberately that the Sisters of Charity here “will not allow a Protestant minister to administer the eonsolations of religion lo & pa- tient of his own persuasion.” Now, there are numbers of individuals who read this who will be able to testify by their personal ex- perience ‘to the utter untruth of such @ statement, and mo’re especially some of the clerical gentlemen who D ave been summoned to attend Protestant pa- tents, Dr. Montgomery, of the Church of the Incar- naion, Madison avenue, and many others might be aypealed to in proof of our assertion, In regard to admission to the Hospital, it is an old-establisned rule never to inguire about the re- ligious persuasion of the candidate, and in point of fact, at ine very time of writing this note we have, a# usual, @ number of Protestant patients, So much for sectarian maaagement, and now for our claims upon State aid and patronage.

The Political Lions of Both Parties on a General Growl—The Friends of the Administration and the Salvation of the Country—Senator Carpenter's Blast Against President Grant—The Orators on the Stump. ConcorD, N. H., Feb, 26, 1872. ‘The political campagin in New Hampshire is always one of importance and interest, but this year it 1s one of more than usual significance, The leaders and followers uf both parties have been for some time arranging and organizing for success, and this week the struggle between them has commenced with an earnestness characteristic only of a flerce ‘political contest. Last year the democrats completely vanquished the party of the national administration, and now on the eve of a Presidential electiox they are determined to hold on to the balance of power with & grip more firm and tenacious than ever, and thus setanexample which they hope will stimulate democratic enthusiasm all over the country. To accomplish this all the appliances known to politi- clans are being employed, and the opponents ot the administration are already aroused from one end of the “Granite State” to the other, The republicans, too, seem to be neglecting the industrial pursults of the State and concentrating their combined efforts for the OVERTHROW OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY which came into power here a year ago. They begun a few aays earlier than their opponents, and thus far have attracted more attention, The par- ties have original ideas of how the canvass should be conducted, the democrats going in more for b gy ana persistent efforts in the doubtiul Locall- jes, and the republicans adopting the policy of a multitude of public meetings to arouse and “edu: cate the masses,’ as they are pleased to term it. THE OPPOSING POLITICAL TALKING MACHINES. Among those on the republican side already in the fleld are Senators Wilson and Patterson and a num- ber Of others of less distinction; ana in a few days Genera Sickles and General Kilpatrick will appear. The democrats, besides local orators, have only Judge Carpenter, of South Carolina, in the fleld; but they are promised eloquence In a few days from Doolittle, of Wisconsin; Voorhees, of Indiana; Eaton, of Connecticut, and Pillsbury, of maine, Judge Carpenter is a thoroughbred repubdiican, but he accounts for his labors in behaif of the democrats by stating that an overthrow oi the present admin- istration 1s THE ONLY SALVATION OF THE COUNTRY. He addressed a large meeting in this city this evening and denounced Grant's oficial acts in most scatning and bitcer language, and called apon the American people, in the name of Itberty, justice and humanity, to rise up en masse against his foul usurpations. The Ware on the republican side, of course, deiended the admiuistration; and thus it is that the voters of New Hampsbire are to be in- structed on one side and the other until the election, on the 12th day of Marcn, It is rather early in the canvass now to predict with any degree of certainty the result of the pending contest, but it is, nevertheless, true that the signs of a re-election of a democrauc Goy- ernor are better than @ great many republicans wish they were. ‘THE PROHIBITIONISTS AND LABOR REFORMERS will probably be more generously supported this year than they were last, and in proportion to their increased strength the republican party will be correspondingly wéakened. ‘The term ot Senator Patcerson expires with the present Con- gress, and in view ot this fact there will be a sharp contest on the part of both parties to get con- trol of the Legisiature. In fact the political com- plexton of the Legislature wil be regarded as of more consequence than the political prociivities or the Governor. Senator Patterson will be # candi- date for re-election, and his rival wil be E.

DOMNTC LE SYRUP. ‘No cure no *| ward, Yor 7 eo gr ne ne A Card from Wiliam Heath. Stephen V. White and William 9, Woodward (the latter frequently known as “Sunday School Sixes”), have preferred ecomplaint of perjury against ¢ me, alleged to have taken place in June, 1871. Why this alleged offence against gooa morals and the criminal laws of the State has not been sought: to be punished for eight long months will perhaps be best explained by the fact that judgment was entered on the tit ultimo for $126,128 35 against Mr. White, ‘Mr, Woodware and Joseph F, Young, and Mr, White has been compelted to give security for its ultimate payment, in case the appeal that he bas taken proves (as it no doubt will) unsuccessful. [ask for no suspension of public opinion, as the public wilt be able to decide for themseives upon the able and impartial decision, hereinafter quoted, of the referee in the case— Henry Nicoll, Es members of the var, Woodward, Young and White were engaged in a pool @ Reading stock, of which William Heath & Co. wers simply ‘one of our ablest and most respectable ll | the brokers, receiving a commission of $31 25 on every $100,000 of pool stock bought or sold by them. A panic took place in the stock on the 16th of July, 187, and at the them price the loos of the pool was about two hundred and (en thousand dottars. pi It is pretended by White and Woodward, but at no time by Young, that William Heath & Co. were to look to each mem- ber of the pool for his several share of the lows only, and chat nelther member of the pool was Hable to William Heaths & Go. for the whole loss, and that oven if this were not #0, thas William Heath Co, ,on the morning of the panic, the 16a of July, voluntarily agreed to assume Young's place (whe had failed) in the yool,' with an actual loss of $70,000 staring, Young’s share m che face, The absurdity of such am me- rangement by ayénti® man, a mere broker, having no (nterest whatever in the pool, 14 suillcientily manifest upon its face. The referee, in his opinion, s: “If the intention of the parties forming this pool had'beem that it should be operated upon an agreement for euch lim- ited lability as {s now claimed it would seom that. the: under- stanaing should have been one of the first things whiem | | | would have been provided for. From the hazardous: nature ity of loss must certainly have of the operation the poss been in the contemplation of the parties who wera forming tho pool; and if {t bad been intended that those dealing with ‘oir account were to look onty toeach one of the parties for his separate share of the loss the arrangement in that respect should have been clearly and and incurring iabluities on their distinctly expressed. Young nowhere states that he ever @n- ‘and, at least sofar as he is ft ts fully proved that he admitted, on more than one oecasion, tered into such an arrangeme! concerned, the labiiity. contended for is established. that all the members of the pool were jointly liable for ite | losses; and, although these admissions are in no respect evi- | dence as against his associates, they must be regarded as conclusive upon himself. | “Woodward claims that the agreement in question was made in a passage-way leading to and from the-ofllce of his je states, asked bim for margin. very positively to the un- broker Marvin, when Heat It is true that this witness swear: derstanding already mentioned, twice stating, that it, was before aud subsequently that it was made after the account commenced. All that Woodward, however, can. positivel awear to in thiv respect is, toat, in s conversation wi Heath, within two weeks after the account had been opeued, when the latter required margin, he told him to send his abare of the stock to his broker, Marvin, and that he would carry his part of the stock, and that Young would carry hus part. Upon this testimony alone I cannot tind, as, matter of * that the agreement contended for is made ou es eclally when the making of IL ts denied botls.by Heath, and Quincy, members of the irm of Williw Heath &C cmeri caer . “The fact that on. the were will vide th pay for his portion, it iaalso claimed establishes the Mnent in question, But it was the right of all. the paztles to the pool to close the account at any time and sever thele {n- terests, as was proposed by: this division, William eath & Co, eoul transfers providing it wi accompa Fy final” settlement of all their hipon the stock gainat the parties to the .
