The next year two Spaniards fought, 8 < and one was lulled. In 1822, Midshipman Locke 8 was killed by Gibson, a clerk in the Treasury c Department. In 1826 came off the celebrated n meeting between Henry Clay and John Ran- 8 dolph (their second fight). Randolph received Clay's fire, and then fired in the air; they were fast friends afterward.

Pollard can't endure the thought that the "Chief of the Southern Confederacy" has gone into the commission business with a London house. He finds it difficult to "credit such prostitution of historical dignity." There are hundreds of Southerners, says Mr. Pollard, who are happy in starving without condescend? ing to the baseness of trade, and be wants to know why Mr. Davis cannot bear his poverty as "nobly." He talks about the "infamy of selling out the honore of the Confederacy," and "bargaining his historical heroism forcer tain benefits of trade," windiog up with the imprecation-"Shame upon tho man, a blister? ing mark upon the caitiff, curses upon the wretch who has done this paltry and flagitious thing!" Somebody suggests that Pu Jard would be of quite as much service to the com? munity at large, and possibly to himself, if he would oaly sacrifice a little of his "historical dignity," and Bet np a grocery store. CHARLESTON. -0 FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 4, 1868. For Prtndrni..HORATIO SEYMOUR. For Vice-PretilaU.FRANCIS P. BLAIR. Tbe BUI of Plunder. We publish to-day the opinion of the Court cf Errors upon the obligation of the State to receive "notes of the Bank of the State in payment of taxea and other dues to the State. The Court of Errors unanimously deoide that the law as it stood in 1867 did not require the State to take these billa. The case was elaborately argued by Messrs. PORTEE & CONNER on the one side, and Mr. Attorney-General HATNX on the other. And the result was that Messrs. DUNKIN, WABDLAW, GLOVES, MONRO, CARROLL, IN? GLIS, MOSES, DAWKINS and LKSSSNK were all of one mind. Without a dissenting voice these experienced and learned judges decide that the sixteenth section of the act of 1812 does not hind the State to take these hills. The Legislature, under the advice of Mr. CHAMBERLAIN, though equally desirous with the court to get rid of the obligation to re? ceive said h?ls in payment of taxes, most sapiently disregard this decision, and pro? pose to effect the same end by a repeal of. j the act-an attempt which even six months' reading of law ought to have taught the I sage adviser of the " Piebald " was null and ] Toid as to all past issues of the bank-while i Messrs. PORTEE & CONNER'S appeal from t the decision of the Court of Errors, now ] pending before the Supreme Court at Wash- t ington, ie left undefended, no "appearance" c having yet been entered on the part of the f State. . i Thus it is with the "Piebald," "doing that which it ought not to do, and leaving 11 undone that which it ought to do." The "Bill of Plunder" has passed, it seems, both Houses. Will Governor SCOTT < omit such an opportunity of giving dignity i and respectability to his administration 1 as would be afforded by the veto of this t illegal, unconstitutional, incongruous and t audacious scheme of government il robbery? t If Governor SCOTT succumbs, will the 1 courts permit the perpetration of such an ' act of fraud, violence and usurpation T : t A Blt Of Radical Economy. 'i The tax-paying masses of the North are j t aot aware, probably, of the style in which the public money is thrown away, under c the pretence of collecting the internal re ve- o' nue at the South. It will doubtless be a i oomfort for them to know that the solemn i f tree of sending out blanks to and enforcing t returns from the American citizens of Afri- t san descent, under the internal revenue j laws of the Radical Congress, is r<gularly going on, and that the complicated machin? ery and expensive processes of collection ^ ire as fully in operation with regard to the fc enlightened people who till the cotton fields is if there were really a prospect of some substantial result, other than the depletion rf the public coffers. A gentleman who ias given some attention to this subject tends us some statistics which are worthy >f attention. Take, for example, a single :ounty of our State-the District of Beau ort-and we have the following result : Expense of collecting internal taxes.. $10,650 00 Proceeds of the collection. 402 50 _ balance OD wroDg Bide of the sheet.. .$10,247 50 [ k And this is no exceptional case. But fhile such a plan of operations may not be ipecially profitable to the government or gratifying to the people, who really pay the axes, it is pleasant to know that an army J >f small officials are thereby enabled to ? ive in clover. O Co-operative Building. We have already in operation in Charlcs on a co-operative grocery store, which in ive. months has made a profit equal to about j pl eventeen per cent, upon the subscribed ? ?v apital of the company. Two co-or erative ife insurance companies are in process of I St rganization; and it may now be consider d certain that the co-operative movement n South Carolina is steadily advancing in tublic confidence and favor. But the co? operative principle should not be confined o associations for supplying the public with he necessaries of life, nor should it be re- T tricted to making provision for sudden and l?l tnexpected death. It may be applied to ivery material work and every undertaking rhich can be carried on by any ene man or et of men, with the assurance that the Honey which now goe? as profit into the locket of the manufacturer, shareholder or hopkeeper, will, ^ider the co-operative ystem, add to the means and inorease the om'"or ts of the individual consumer. Every lember is at once a capitalist and a con umer, and the difference between the cost f the work done and the amount which it ealizes, passes to thc credit of every mein? er of the society, in proportion to the cap al which he has invested in it. IQ Europe, of course, tho co-opcraiiva system is much faither advanced than it ie on this side of the Atlantic, and it has never been turned to better account than in a building association formed some years ago by the working masons of Edinburgh, Scot? land, when on a strike. The organization became a permanent one, achieving very important results, in supplying cheap and comfortable houses to the workiag peoph of Edinburgh, in place of the filthy, badly lighted and ill ventilated tenements previ? ously occupied by them. The bricklayers of New York have begui a similar enterprise. It is to be a co-ope rative building society on joint stock prin? ciples, with limited liability, similar to the Edinburgh plan, and will contract for the erection of buildings, stores, dwellings, &c.; or repairing them. It proposes to unit capital and labor, and to give the building public the advantage of the cheapness procuring work at first hands, instead allowing middlemen to make heavy profits out of both capitalists and working men. A day's work is to consist of eight hours; shareholders having preference over others iu obtaining work from the society, but no shareholder to claim work if the company do not think it advisable to employ him. The capital stock to be one hundred thou? sand dollars, in five thousand shares of j twenty dollars each; one dollar is to be paid as an instalment, and the remainder in four equal payments, after the board of man? agement shall be elected. Each share is to he entitled to one vote. No one to hold more than ten shares in his own name. In all essential particulars the plan of this so? ciety is a counterpart to that of the Edin? burgh co-operative building society, and we see no reason to doubt that if prudently managed it will have a similar success. Why cannot such a society be established here ? Our laboring men and all the mid? dle classes of our population need small, but neat and convenient houses which can be let at a low rent. A co operative build? ing society would decrease the cost of these houses, and this would encourage the mon? eyed man to invest his eapital where it would bring him a safe and fair return. Such an association, when fairly in opera? tion iu this city, would benefit the builder and the shareholder, as well as those me? chanics and laborers who cannot now hire at a reasonable rent houses for themselves and their families. WE ASK pleased to see that the State Cen? tral Democratic Club declares authorita? tively, in reply to the recently issued proclamation of Governor SCOTT, that the Democratic party is the party of peace, law and order,-that the few weapons in? troduced into the State were for personal protection, and not for partisan purposes, ind that the people of the State must con inue to bear and forbear, that the public )eace may be preserved. We are now fairly >efore the country. Our declaration of the ?ircnmstances under which we live,-of our ears and of our hopes, has been published ? ?th the approval of our whole people. This is enough. Further protest or asser ion would be unmanly and undignified. GENERAL BORHAM says that there is sompany of fifty armed negroes which drills regularly near Edgefield C. H., and that here are similar organizations throughout he district. This we know to be the truth, is surely as we knew that in the matter of | inned organizations in this State there has >een proclamation and prohibition for the fhite man, and toleration and tacit encour? agement for the negro. THE NKOKOES in the Legislature of tho state very naturally ding to the idea, that o the colored majority belongs every right ind privilege and to the white minority net me. They are now very fla -footed in their le.-laration, that the meaning of the bill to irevent discrimination on account of color s to give the negroes the right to enter every lotel iu the State, to sit at every publio able, and to lie in every bed. Candor is a ewel. THE RECONSTRUCTION LEQTSLATURE of leorgia has quietly gives the negro mern lers of that body their walking papers. nc transit. fest and /anni).
