Tb3 Land Commission Fraud
0*^ of tho most interesting chapters
of the rtoporfc of the Joint Legislative
Committee of which Mr. "Whlttemore is
chairman, i* that which exposes the
frauds of the Land Commission. Almost
every provision of the Ordinance
' 1 -I1 T 1 I
creating tne x>oaru 01 ojuuu v?mjuiosioners,
and of tho Acts regulating its
operations lmd been violated, and all the
fa'cguards which they were designed to
throw* around the management of its
friends have been disregarded ; and as a j
consequence hundreds of thousands of i
.dollars of the public funds have been '
xvnfcted with no other result than to en-:
rich a number of rapacious plunderers
at the expense of tho public Treasury,
As the Land Commissioner could not
net without tHc authority of the Advisory
Board consisting of the Governor and
Attorney General, both in the purchase
and sale of property, they are properly
responsible for all his official acts, and
cannot avoid their full share of liability.
One of the most flagrant violations of
law as shown In the Report, is in the,
over-isauc of 'State bonds in behalf of!
the Land Commission. The whole,
a mount authorized tobe issued by thcAets I
of 1SG9 and 1870 was $700,000 in bonds of
the State, signed by the Governor and
countersigned by the Comptroller. But
ihe whole amount expanded by the Land!
Commission, cot in the bonds of the
State, but in money, ha3 amounted to;
^ 740,724,"7; and to raise this sum the
Ixnds have been sold at less than sixtv i
!
cents on the dollar, in violation of the;
clearest provisions of the law, and at an!
expense of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the State.
Another provision of Lhe law is, that,
the rate of purchase shall not exceed
three-fourths of the value of the land'
purchased, including improvements
thereon, whereas the State has been;
charged at the most exorbitant rates for
the lands purchased, in some cases ten
times its true value, and this csctss has
not been paid to the seller but has gone
to swell thepock<'t3 of the State official.'
On this point the Committee say "they
hi.ve gathered from the rceorua of the
Clerks of the Courts and letters of coiv
respondents, little to encourage a belief)
that the State has valid titles to one half
the land purchased by the Land Commission;
more than this, a large propor-j
tion of the land paid for is eitlu i
inacccssible, or so poor thattlic clcss'
of people, for whom the publicj
lands were intended, vill not be anxious |
to nettle, or able, out of the products of;
such lands, to pay for them even in the
time provided by law, Tho statement j
will bear reiterating, that the Laud j
C'cinin'rislon and its ojxjrations havej
b'.'j'? rr. oumgeousjand enormous swin :!??,

The studied concealment which has

of the 2~2 ult., but learn that it passed
ofl* rmlitab'y to all concerned, and

good nctinjr, and all the charms of fe-j

Tin* "Ouitata" was a representation of,
"!;?w Year's Eve'' in three parts. Inj
the ti'.vt. "Old Father Time," r:ills upon ;
the 4t<)id Year," to give an aeeountof his;

I with their attendants, enter inflow procession
and sing a farewell chorus to the
Old Year. He next &ive:> place to his
successor, the New Year, who is escorted
to the vacant scat hy "Christinas" and I
"Santa Claus." A "welcome chorus" tu
thj? Young Year clones the scene.
The principal characters were personated,
by beautiful young ladies, who to
to the charms of graceful acting addedthe
attractions of poetry and mu-ic.
The "Old Year" was represented by Miss

FAREWELL SERMON,
On Sunday last, tho congregation of
Trinity Church had the privilege of en
joying the ministrations of.tho Rev. W. j
P. DuBosc, the retiring Rector, and of i
the Rev. Edward R. Miles, his success-j
or, accompanied with all the painful
emotions which attend the separation
from a beloved and esteemed minister.
The farewell sermon of Mr. DuBose was
touching in the extreme?in the simple
artless feeling to which he referred 1o the j
unbroken hanuony of his foar years'
pastorate here?to which lie said, that he
should look look back, like the thirsty
traveller to the palm trees and water
springs of the green oasis of the desert?
as well as in the sage counscl and welltimed
admonitions with which he adverted
to the duties and responsibilities
which lie before us. To his succcssor,
ho said, that lie could wish no hotter offering
at the hands of the congregation,
(jiti;i the love and confidence, which had
been bestowed upon himself, and which 1
he trusted would ho made to jLdd a
richer jet urn under his ministry. The
choice <>f a successor by tiio congregation
had been his choice, and thepuin of
separation had been in a largo measure;
assuaged by the reflection that he would*
have the Parish in the hands of one, j
who Harmonized with him in doctrine,
and would at least equal him in zeal. *j
To his wido and responsible field of j
labor in the University of the South, the j
beloved Rector of Trinity Church car-|
rios with him the heartfelt wishes of the'
congregation and of our entire commu-J
nitv, for the success of his ministry and i
the happiness of himself and family. I
To his successor the Rev. Mr. Miles,!
they extend a cordial greeting and their:
best wishes.
Welcome the Coming, Srrxn the
Parting Guest.?By reference to (lie
list of Conference appointments which
we publish in another column, it will be !
seen that the Rev. Geo. F. Round, thej
Pastor of the Methodist Church here has!
lii'pn nssjio-nof] fr> thofihnreo of the Con-1
fcrence School at Cokesbury, and that!
the Rev. Wm. T. Capers succecds him
here, as pastor of the church. A zeal-!
ous and conscientious and most accepta-J
ble minister, Mr. Round carries with
him the respect and esteem of our entire
community, and their best wishes:
for the happiness of himself and family.;
To his successor Miey are prepared to'
give him a cordial welcome, due alike!
to his hitfh and personal character, and:
ability. The worthy representative of
an honored name, Mr. Capers is no
stranger in our communitp, but com-1
mands a vide circle of earnest and ad- j
miring friends. We wishe him a pleas- j
ant sojourn here, and a bountiful liar-1
vest asjhc fruits of his ministry.

his pistol, without efle?t however,
upon the Marshal, who lliocked
him down, giving him a serious mow.

Pay Your Taxes!?By reference to
the notice of Mr. J. F. C. DuPrc, our'
county Treasurer, it will be seen, that;
the time for the payment of taxes will j
not be extended beyond the loth inst.?
n?xt Monday week. Unless j'aid by that:
time, the penalty accrues. \Ve I rust J
that our friends will take heed in time,
and thus avoid the penalty. The taxes; J
must be paid, and nothing H^gained, but
everything lost 1 ?3' delay.
Cocd Sales.?Our fj iend Mr. John C.
Chiles, of the lower part of the District, i
seems to have been doing a thriving busi- j
ness during Christmas week. His' sales j
during ten days, principally to the blacks, i
amounted to over $1,400, and on Christ?!'
mas day, to near $250. This speaks well!
for the condition of the colored peojilc ofi
his section. -

1872, CASH MUSS. M
THE Experience of the last six years
has brought n? to the conclusion
that Business to be done in a safe nnd
satisfactory manner, can only be d^iieby
adhering strictly to the cash system^
The considerations which bring us t<x
this conclusion are many, but it is not
Tiofvssr.rv that thev should be given lie re.
They will suggest themsrlves to any one",
who has the least idea of business. Wo.
are sure nothing would be a greater,
benefit to the country at large than tho,
abolition of the credit system. Impress-. .
ed with this idea we are resolved for tho
future to do a strictly cash business, and,
we promise to those who will give us
their patronage to sell goods much lower,
thon we have ever done before. By bq-^
ing a Cash business we will be able to buy
our goods much lower, sell them at shorter
profits and give satisfaction ^to all parties.
We are grateful to a generous public
for the patronage bestowed upon U8 .
during the past, and we trust our reputation
as business men is now sufficiently
well established to ensure for us a 111)-.
ural support in the future. We will always
do the best we can for any one entrusting
us with business.
