the two Papers under the name of th<

Tkoro is no reason thnt thore shoal
be two District papers in Abbeville
while there eve many valid reason
to the contrary. Among the fmbstan
lial supporters of our District paper:
there is no difference of politic:
opinion. Wo -are ait a homogencoi
w 11ole?an ti-Iladi cal, an ti- Re pablica
?all pledged to wage an unccasin
war ; legitimate, bat yet war "to tl;
knife" again6t "wickedness in big
places", until our State shall bo "r<
deemed, regenerated, disenthralled
The field i3 common to both papor
and the common enthusiasm, an
common purposes which they see
both to represent may well find n

"Whilst then there is no reason tha
there should bo two District paper
there are valid'reasbns to tho contn
ry. A divided patronage- is nc
enough 10 eustiuh them in vigoroi

enpport ono paper as it should bo buj

FLUCTUATIONS OP THE GOLD x

i
o
l0 During I ho 1?*t week, Now York
has witnessed inoro gold and stock
rumbling, il Ih fcaid, than linn ever l?oc*ti!
known to take placo in Paris, Frank- j

gelling gold on speculation, audth<>j
c:;,f*no ofthcso operations may he |

? Lrausaclions of the gold Kxehange
iJaok amounts from $100,000,000 i

l-'r j this sum which is employed in specu51'
I iation is sixty limes as great as that
'"'which represents tho legitimate husi- 1
'.^Iness of the country.
Tho whole amount, of gold coin
'" ov.*ntd hy the banks , bankers, iner
chant0- and speculators of New York,
,!l' is said, not to exceed 0200.000,000;
aj whilst tho actual amount of coin and1
n* coin-certificates used in exchanges, do j
Y )' not, exceed ?2,000,000 or Si>,000.000. j
j A comhinatiou of capitalists to buy j

force all who have gold to deliver, toj

placed at their moW-y.. And to tbisj

by a vary conclusive argument, based
upon the true constructions of the
law on tho subjoet, that taxes are duo
on tho 1st March after their assessment
; and that where the taxes have
^r> boon a*sensed as they have "bcon here"c
toforo in this State, they are not duo
ir" unto tho next March-rhoneo that tho
?r" public authorities will excecd their
powers if ,thcy attempt to cAforeo tho
threatened penalty.
3n Wo are gratified to learn that our ,
jer citizens havo generally paid up their
to taxes. Mr. Russell tho Treasurer intt
forms us that he has collected b'etweon
' $53,000 and 860,000. The 15th Oct.
is tho last day* Better not risk tho
penalty. .
