A DECLINE IN GOLD.
unprecedented foil in the
price of gold during the past few
, week*, has been engaging the attrition,
and receiving the comments
of the leading public journals
of the couutry. As it has not
% arisen from the operation of speculators?the
efforts of "bears" who
sell gold, which they have not, but
hope to buy back at a lower price?
nor from any contraction of the
currency, which has either preceded
or attended the full in the pre?

gonerally looked upon as a healthy
feature of the times?an indication
of increased production, enlarged
trade and enhanced public credit.
The proximate cause asbigned for
tlie decline of gold here, has been
the decreased demand for exportation,
growing out of the increased

abroad, aud also out of the eularg
ed exports of American cotton.
It is estimated that the cotton
crop of the presentyear will amount
3,000.000 bales, and which deducting
900,000 bales for home concuHiption
will leave 2,100,000 bales
for export This is 500,000 more
than last 3'car, and will give a gold
excess of $25,000,000 more than
* ? 1 *1 .?!,?
last year?or ejium iu uncc-iwuiiua
of the whole exports of the past
year. This accounts for the decrease
in the exports of gold, and
affords every probability against a
revival of exports upon which an
advances of price must depend.
i /? iV _
Another reason assigned lor tue j
decrease of exportation of. gold is
theabundaneeof money in the lead
ing markets of Europe, and the appreciation
of onr securities there.
Advices from "Washington state
that Mr. Boutwell intends to pross
his funding bill before Congress at
an early day. If it becomes alaw,
then, with a largo supplj of gold
on th? market, about $100,000,000.
ho can force the price of gold
dawn to par, and thus wipe out of
cxiitenco iliat institution known ay
the Gold lioom.
As a necossary conseqcnce prices
are coming down. A New York
letter says: *' For several days a
desperate fight has been going on.
"between Stuart aud Claflin, the
Icings of the dry goods market
Stewart started it by 'marking
down* below Claflin1s figures.?
Claflin followed suit; Stewart cut
down again; then Claflin; and so
tbe war has gone on for a week.
Dry goods men tell me they never
saw the market so excited as it is
by this war between the two great
koises. Both parties Are selling at
price*that are absolutely ruinous.

THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
The Committer nppohited to investigate

in the Third Congressional District,
before-tbe last -gettefft!~ election,
have made their report covering
some twenty printed pages,

man. The report reiterates thq
stereotyped slaudors upon the Pemocratic
party, of being the instigators
of crime and outrage. It ie
just such a report as we might have
expected from a partisan commit
tee, who have been appointed tc
get up an effective campaign document,
tor the coming election,
The more spicy and sensatioual
tho better, and this paper comet
up fully to the Republican stan^
ard. The minority report is eicn
odbyJavan Btyant, and takes is
eue with the conclusions of tin
majority of the committee.
In connection with the Report
is publisheJ a huge volume o:
"Testimony,-" so-called, taken bj
the Investigating' Committee, anc
covering some seven hundredpriut
ed pages, of which two hunJrec
and fifty pages are devoted to Abbeville.

That there were individual acts o
violence all admit, nnd our citizen:
generally deplore them. Thej
grew out of tho lawless and dc
j moralized condition of the times,

j repugnant to the instincts of oui
[people. To charge them upon oui
'people, or upon Democracy as an
|organization, is but one of the
j tricks of part}* tactics. It was for
this purpose however that this
j committee was raised, aud the investigation
prosecuted. This object
is seen cropping out of the
whole proceeding, and gives form
and color to the whole investigation.
13ut to cffoct their purposes
they have signally failed. Thever
diet oi tno dispassionate ana sooerminded,
will be against them.?
There is nothing in the testimony
relating to Abbeville to connect
the Democratic party with any of
the acts of individual outrage.
Sale Day.
Sal eel ay aa usual was wet and
disagreeable, but nevertheless there
was a verj good attendande of our
fellow-citizens. The blacks especial^*
numbered in strong force.
V"ery little property changed baud*
either by official sale or otherwise.
There \\ as very little property to
sell, and there seemed to be very
little money to buy. The merchants

It was "not a success."
We repeat it, Sale-day in
March was not a success. Unless
there be some improvement in futare,
we believe we shall apply to
the Legislature to abolish the day.
But we have not yet told all?wa
have nidi yet had our say. We
have another iqdictmeutyet to prefer.
The day was as much noted

the excess of noise and
riot and confusion, aa for the lack
of legitimate business. Now this
ought to be stopped-, and in behalf
of good tuorals and good order, we
say it mast be stopped. People
who come from a distance,
must oenave tnemseives as quiotly

will not, the authorities Lore must
Bee that they do so. Borne times
difficulties are unavoidable, but in
the majority of cases all parties are
to blame. Is there any reason why
the public peace should not preserved

Dr. Turuipsced makes the followinj
suggestion in a communication in th
P/icenix:
My proposition is, that tko nicn o
South Carolina, who comprohend fill
ly the iiocc8sily of moving in tlii
matter, form a joint stock compnn;
of, say $10, $20. ?50 or even $100 pe
share. Organize a ccntral or distri
billing bureau at some central point
perhaps Columbia would do ; and sub
bureaus at each village in tho State
let all arrivals report at the centra
bureau, and be distributed aceordin;
to the various demands of the eub-bu
jrcau throughout tho State. Whenev
J or an immigrant arrivos, his name
age and birth-place, as well as hii
trade or occupation,'us well as letteri
of reference or recommendation
should bo duly recorded for futaro rc
forence. Tho farmor or planter applying
for a laborer, has only to cull foi
the kind of laborer, and the clerks ai
each bureau, by referring to th<
books, can aond him the sort of per
sons ho deairos; he, tho favmor 01
planter, paying ail oxpenses ineui'rer
by tho bureau, as well as a bonus foi

There might bo an experimental fnrrc
est&hlibhod in the vicinity of eucl
bureau, where these imigraut la bore ri
eould be profitably employed until call
ed for; and should any remain 01
hand during the summer months
they could bo directed in farm work
so as to make and harvost a full crop
Agouts could bo sent to England, Ire
land, Scotland, France, Hollaud, Swe
den and Norway, Germany and Italy
and I am told by persons who hav<
recently returned from trans-Atlantfr
WUUtKCO, iUOi giCtfV uuuiuoro WUIl

ibis system frorking admirably if
Paris, in getting employment for la

ityj thoro it has provon not otolj* a sue

ment, see how it could bo managed it
thoso largo Europerean cities in anj
other way. Somo ten or twelve yoai
ago the same system was copamoncet
in New Tork city.
We arc glad to learn from Mr
Rjsley, of New York, but who wa
formerly a resident of Augusta
that the advantages which thi

" it not bo advisable to do so very soon.
" The "Ides of March" will soon bo
' past?the 1st April will soon bo horo.
* What you gain in the way of interest
3 on your money, you may lose in some
: other way, wl.ethor you incur the
* penalty or not. By paying now you I
" avoid tho crowd?tho risk?and will
r have tlio satisfaction of transacting <
1 your business, quietly and satisfacto
2 rily. The officers tell us that they
could attend to double the number of
p Lhosc who are applying. Do not de'
lay too long. The taxes are twenty- 1
r five per cent, less than they were last 1

THE WHISKEY WAR. I
: (
Another Raid on the Distillers. t
The Spartanbarg Gazette says: c
The revenue officers and United a
States troops, under command of c
Captain Cook, 8th Infantry, left town ?
on the morning of tho 8th instant, f
to visit portious of our county in r
wmcn illicit distilling has uoen car-lv
riod on to so- large an extent. The i
command was joinod on the evening 3
of the 11th instant by a detachment t
of the 5th cavalry. I
From this point several expeditions t
were made into tho neighborhood of j
Big Island and the surrounding coun- i
try, and a number of still booses de 1
stroyed and distillers captured. t
The entire command moved to- I
wards the blockhouso three days, and <
while there searched tho numerous t
mountain streams in the neighcor- <
nooo, and nghtod tip tho summits of ?
Hogback with burning stillhouses 1
A number of distillers wore arrested, ]
moot of whom were released by tho i
United States commissioner, upon e
tbeir giving bond fbr their appear- e
anee at the United States Court, t
Three of tho prisoners who wero 1
operating in North Carolina were *
carried to AsheviHo and tamed over T
to the revenue authorities of that
State. Tho command then moved to
(iowaneviiie, whoro it remained two 8
ri o xr a nr\A 4kan * ? * - ? ?
mmjo muu VUOil A Obli & UVU tU LUWU. J>
The expedition was attended by no d
incidents of mnch interest or irapor- t
tsnce. While twenty-five or thirty
still houses wero destroyed, only eight
or ten stills were captured. Most of
the distillers had sucoeeded in remov- ?
ing and concealing their stills, while *
they themselves had rotired to places
yf seoarity.
The moral effect of these raids has
been of a most salatary nature. The
better class of citfsena have been *
iroased, and propose hereafter to *
lake the whole matter in thelt own *
bands. 6
Heretofore they have been afraid *
to report this illicit basiness, bnt we *
ire assured that hereafter they will epOrt
to the proper authority any tl
>ne attempting to operate an illicit g
distillery in their settlement. b
