The Local Tender Question.
The Supreme Court, after re opening the
Legal Tender question, has postponed lbs
argument. We suppose the effect will be
eo far beneficial, that settlements will go
on as formerly, and most everybody be
eontenl to receive old debts io greenbaoks,
and thank yon, too. What a blessing that
Legal Tender Act has proved to the South
em SitUteipcoUllr, and to South Carolina
in particular?we mean to the great man of
the population, four-fifth* of whom were
ruinously in debt at the close of the war.
Public opinion ha* been divided, and able
men have been divided on the conetitutiooal
question, hut the State Judges have snstalned
it almost unanimously, and fifteen
State Supreme Oo'Tts have, with only one
exception. ... \
"We are sorry to see the Charleston Con-1
rier expending so much logio and lamentation
on the Legal Tender Aot of Congress.
It is, though, not so intended, a lament that
the people of this State had not bean made
to pay from 25 to 4ft per cent, more on
their old debts due North or due at Lome. In
the nsmc of common sense, we 4?y? even
granting it is a question of doubt?why
should any friend of the people in this
State asisil an aet which has been a great
relief and blessing! The Courier is qnly
consideiir.g the supposed benefits?of the
merchant class perhaps. It is usually the
case with journals published by the sea, to
look in all financial legia'ation only to the
interest of trade. This, of course, is important,
but it is not the odIj interest, however.
connected with all.
The agricultural class was the most completely
crippled by the war, and th? Legal
Tender Act was an incalculable benefit to
that class.
The courae of the Courier line beeo followed
by some of our County exchanges,
but not generally. Silence and apparent
indifference on this subject, baa characterized
the press of the State generally.
Since writing the foregoing. we eee from
the correspondence of the New Yoik llrr
aid, as well as of the Charleston Courirr,
that the appellant* in the eases before the
Supreme Court had withdiawn them, and
therefore the question will have to be argued
on some new case hereafter to come up.
It is very apparent that the majority of the
Supreme Court are opposed to the opinion
deliveied by Chief Justice Ciiask. The
Court then was 4 to 3, being but 7 judg-g.
there are now 9, and there are, as every
one believes, 0 to 4 the other way. So the
question of legal tender is not yet finslly
disposed of. A rare will come up to the
next teim of the Court. It is a significant
fact that one of the eases withdrawn (that
of I.atnam A I.atnam r*. the United States)
the Couit of Claims had decided in favor of
the legal tender act, and the parties must
have been s> tbfied thst the present 8nprema
Court was going to confirm that di?
cision.
Senator Bnwyer of South Carolina?Bcmoval
of the Teat Oath.
Mr. Sawyer has exhibited upon tho whole
a liberal and enlightened spirit, compared
to too many of the Republican party. He ia
a Republican, aud baa been all the time, hut
does not aeem to be governed by ill will
and mero pnrtiznn I itternese, like gome
others. Ilia comae is better calculated to
strengthen bis party in the South, than the I
prescriptive course of the extremist.
Lust week the United States Senate pass,
ed the bill introduced by Mr. Sawyk?, pre
ecribirg the oath to be taken by Southern |
men who aided the Confederacy, nnd who
do not come within the disabilities of the
14th Amendment, so that hereafter any one
of them may hold a Federal office by taking
the new oath. This will be a great advantage
to the Government, ns well as privilege
to some 600,000 Southern men. It is snip
pcred the bill of Mr. Sawyer will pais the
House and become the law of the land.
? - - - -4 ?? ? Carelessness
with Ouns and Pistols.
Mbs Eveline Goodloe, of Memphis, Ten
iieittpe, on a visit 10 unnriouevme, Virginia,
took up a pistol and laughingly pointed it
nt herself. It went off, by some mischance
and killed her instantly. We read almost
every week some similar account in llie
newspapers. Hundred of persons are annu.
ally victims in the United States to the
careless handling of fire arms. Children
and all other thoughtless persons eliould be
instructed constantly that it is a crime to
point a gun or pistol, loaded or not, at any.
body ; if they do not point an empty gun
at themselves or another they of course will
not point one that is known to be loaded.
Injuries toothers Irom careless handling of
guns should be punished as rtlme, and
heavy damage* recovered besides. This
would check inch horrid eareleeaucsi.

The New Code and fidgetield Advertiser
We are pleated to tee the Advertiser engaged
in exposing tbe abominable character of the
new code. We wish all tho county ptpert,
and city pnpert, too, would show it up to the
people ; that would insure its repeal by the next
Legislature. There are various other laws
from the same source deserving exposure, and
that ought to he repealed, and will be If the
people, especially poor people, who constitute
three-fourths of our present population, have
any regard for their own interest There is no
party question involved, and the repeal of
other bad laws can be had just as well as that
of the onerous township law. Tho laws we
complain of nro neither good for rich or poor,

the Dedication, Consecration and Installs*
Hon of tha Lo'dge and Officers were to lake
place. We had a pleasant oocaslon with
the Brothers, and meeting Brother* Birnia
and Pickle from Recovery Lodge, who had
come down in advance t6 assist in preparing
for the next day.
Friday morning, 22d. being a beautiful
morning, about tf o'clock the Brethren, sisters
and neighbors came peuring in, with
baskets fitted with*good things to eat. At
| iuociock, iue iio<tge was called to order.*?
Having formed a Grand Lodge, they announced
themselves in waiting to commence
the exeroises for the day. At thia announce,
ment, the Grand Officers proeeded to the
Lodge Room, where they were received
with grand honors. The acting Grand
Officers were aa follows:
W. K. Blake* R. W. O. M; James Birnle,
R. W. D. G . M .; J. A. Wood. O. 8. W ; Dr.
W. A. Mooney, G. J. V.; H. V. Westmoreland.

A. Pickle, O. M.
The procession was then formed and
marched to Moant Tabor Church, about
one.fourth of a mile, where there wa# a
> large collection of the citizens to witness
the oeremonies. The Right Grand Worthy
Master, Blake, from Spartanburg, assisted
hy the aforesaid Grand Officers, proeeded
tn nnnaooraia * >*) ...
Lodge aiiJ Officcia, which w?? performed
with much aolemnity and excellence. The

B. J. Wood, Steward; W. C. Burton, Stew

After the ceremonies were through, the
Grand Chaplain, Kev. A. B. Stephens, delivered
? nioit heautiful and striking addr?s<,
shout on* hour in length. Ilia thehie j
was on the analogy of Masonry to religion
and the duties of Masons,and reminding them
that the All-seeing Eye was ever watching
ovet tlieiu?with many beautiful illustra
lions, ol Masonry, ond that all good Masons
should he Christians. His address was extempore,
and much odmired by the people;
and the whole was delivered with much
feeling. Christian love and charity.
I After the address, the services closed, at
which time wc repaired lo the grove, to a
Basket Pionin, where there was an elegant
preparation made of turkey, duck, chicken,
iiain, pig, pi?s, fruit, plain and fancy cake,
and minor other good things lo eat. Here
I met with several visiting brethren from
Recovery Lodge, Reidville and fJowenavil'e
Lodges; and 1 will nstnre yon we did full
justice to this part of the ceremonies?tak
ing full time to complete this port of the
pioceedings We were then called from
Refreshment to .Labor, and the procession
was then formed and we marched back lo
the Lodge room. After the Lodge wns
closed, the Right Worthy Grand Mas'er,
Blake, conferred the degree of the Eastern
Star to a crowded room of ladies and nentlemen.
The lecture was heautiful aid im
presrive, nnd well calculated to do much
good among the sisterhood in awakening a
good and kind feeling. The whole day was
spent pleasantly, and the services well cnl
ciliated to unite and bring about a unity of
brotlnrly love and Christian feeling.

Jlfeur*. Editor*?Sirs: I see by advertise
ment in your paper appended the following
regarding the sale of Sumter Bitters, i t.:
" By a recent decision of lite Commissioner
of Internal Revenue any net-son can sell
these bitters (Sumter) without a retail liquor
dealer'a license."
This office is aware of'no pm.li decision.
The Hon. Commissioner has decided,
however, (see Reeord 1870, January 1st,)
that " bitters and other alcoholic compounds
which are put up and sold a* medicine*, and
which are properly stamped as such under
'Schedule C' under the Revenue Law,
should l>e treated as medicines, and persons
selling the same should not bp required tp
pay epeeial tax as liquor dealers.- .\Vberi,
therefore, such bitters and' alcoholic eorttponuds
(and compounds containing one fifth
spirits r.re considered to be such! n ? ?r>l.t I
as medicines, they must, of course be.sold in
the came ma nner snore 'other ' medicines,
vis: upon the prtscripth n of surgeon* and
physician*. The law doe* not, in thia decision,
intend to authorize the sale of bitteis
and other alcoholic compounds without
the payment of the tax as liquor dealers,
except in the cose referred to, where they
are sold strictly as medicines.
By giving this publicity yon will probably
do a furor to the apothecaries and merchant*
of this division, as thisofHce is swsrc
ot a large number of peisons who are in- '
diecriminately dealing in such liquor*.

Columbia, S. C. April 19lh, 1870. J
J/r. W. IK. Robertson, County J\eatvrer.
Sir?Applications have been made to thlr
office for a count ruction of Sect ion 79 ot the
Tax Act. Tins Section inuet be construed
with reference, especially, to Section W'2,
95. 96, 97 and 99. Up to a recent*period I
held the opinion that taxes assessed against
Personal property could be collected ?i? ili?
Hole of that property only : and so w ith Ilea)
property. I am now satisfied that this wos
nn erroneous opinion. Section 70 read* *
(ollows: " When the taxes, assessments
and penaltiea charged against any parcel or
lot ol real property," Ac.. Ac , Ac. '
'And if the said faxes
and penalty shall not be paid on or before
the twentieth day of April next thereafter, or
collected by distress or otherwise, the penalty
and said tnx-s shall be treated ns the delinquent
taxes on each real propel ty, to be collected
in the manner that is or Jnay be pres
cribed by latv and if the amount of such
delinquent taxes, assessments and penalties
shall not bapaid on or before the twentieth
day oi May of the eurreut year, the delinquent
taxes, assessment* and penalties of'.he
current year shall be due and collected by
the sale of such res' estate in the tnannrr
thai is or may be requited by law." Section
09 reads, * All Personal property subject to
taxation shall lie liublc to distress and sale
for the payment of taxes and assessment* '
Thal ia to
say, personal property is liable for the payment
ot all raxes and assessments, whether
charged against real or personal property.
The tax collector proceeds first to distrain
sufficient personal projv-ity to psy the tnxes
due fioin a given .party ; and after exhausting
the personal property, proeeetla
against ih.o real property. Hence, the language
in Section 77 : " And if the said taxes
and pcualtWa ahull not be paid on or before
lite twentieth day of April next thereafter.
ul1 collected by diet re** or other trite" Ac , Ac
The latter clause evi
denlly ae'tnniiig that lliti tax collector has
exhnusted all the personal property before
proceeding against the real property belong
ing to the dclii quenl tax pa)er. .
My instructions are that when the penalty
for noil paymeol of taxes attached on
ihefhstof April, the tax-pay?-r has until
the twentieth of May to pay iiie U>n wti!>
the penalty ; if at that tiuie the taxes and
penalty are not paid, the tax collector can
dhtrai i sufficient personal property to pay
the faxes, assessments and penalties due.
If there is not sufficient personal property
to satisfy the taxes and penalties, the lax
collector lias the right, and it is his duty,
on and after the twentieth of June, to proceed
against the real property. Of course,
if in any County the collection of taxes began
earlier or Inter than in others, the dates
at which distraint of personal property,
and the sala of real property are to take
p'ace. must correspond to the time at which
the collection ot taxes began. At stated
above, if the penally attached on the firrJ
of April, tbp (Iutee will be the twentieth of
May, and the twentieth of June * if the pen
ally attached a week or more later, those
dates will he a weilt or morejater as the
ease may he.
At the sutne lime that yon distrain per
tonal ptopei ty fur the taxes and penalties Of
the fiscal year 1869, you will enforce the
taxes and penalties for 1868.

juice of only a single root or bark or plant
is present in each. Not one of them combines
the three projserties of a tonic, an alterative,
and an aperient. All these elements

It is also a blood d?puient and an

The baleful effect which air that has heen

breathing produces on the vital organisation,
is notorious, and when to this
devitalised atmosphere is superadded the
mepbiiic vapor of hot air furnaces, it becomes
deleterious and depressing in the extreme.
To enable the aystcm to bear up,
even for a few hours each day against the
debilitating influence of a vitiated atmosphere,
a wholesome Ionic and alterative is
urgently required. Tbiagiaud desideratum
