" had been felt by ibe public at Abbeville us U> > 1 A the result of thf suit. The tract In ques-jc i tion Ilex in Oallioun township and Is known I n? Hit; Jiimo* Tnincart plaoc, cnnlalnlnc 4?">' P ry acre*. At the dlivctlon of creditors of James ] c< Tagpul, deceased, the land ?i? sold a year H (to by the .Sheriff. under an old Judgment j obtained lu ISSi. The defendants, Kennedy i(, and Watson, became the purch.isers ut$l,:{iiu. | r The plaintiffs entered suit lor possession, and I claimed the land by Inheritance from their p mother, the wife of the deceased James Tag- j c| r*rt, alleging that the title to the laud never ll; had vented In her husband, (their father,) ,<1 but was the patrimony of his wife, perhaps ? i half a century ago, and upon which tho fam- tl lly lived during their married life. The fact tn that the land was the property of the wife had Ioiir since been forgotten, and everybody . looked upon it as the real estate of the hu.s-1 ![ band. After able argument from counsel, K. Noble, Ksq., for plaintiffs. and \V. 11. , l'arker, t>q., lor defendants, the Jury found * verdict for a two-thirds undivided interest P. Ill IK! acres, deducting 100 acres to defendant, ' ?nu a iwoiniru* unaivcu nuvicm iu um um- ,.. ?r tract of I85acrt's. '' The result of the verdict Is the recovery of 178 acre* for tho plalntifTs? the dcfendnntK P' retAlnhiR altout iW acres of tin; tract. This verdlctopens up a new question of titles, anil P there Is no telling wbere it may end. Many Ij a man now resting In fancied security tt m to his titles may bo kohio day rudely w waked up to the fact that somebody's wile 01 once owned hit land, and that never having k parted with it In solemn form, some old 01 dusty title deed to her may come iu and to ?laim precedence for tbe poiscsslon. A Coroner's Inquest. ?? Coroner 8. V. Cochran last Wednesday or went to Mrs. Taylor's farm, some twenty-live j \ gQK miles distant, for tbo purpose of takiuK ?P | th the body of Charlie Sullivan, whose death we go announced last week from gun-shot wonuds. fQ To do tbis public service required two days re <of the Coroner and his horse, and for grab- to bllng up the dead negro, empanelling a Jury 7 of Inquest, taking and recording fifteen bun- ~ ^ dred words of evidence as to the killing, r Y binding over witnesses, and committing tbe ?9 I prisoner to Jail, he receives only $11.50, This I aeemsto us m very small sum for so much P* I work. As the Coroner has very little to do, f he should be well paid for services actually *9 I performed. The Honea PaUi Torpedo In an extra dsted Thursday, mn laiiant, nan tuis to say of the killing: 1 There bu been widespread feeling that of the cause assigned for the death of the color- "p ?d boy Charles 80 ill van wu not the true one. rlj > and that ther* hi.d been foul play. To-day tei Coroner Cochran held an inquest. The body ow vudisinterred and examined carefully. 11 hi waa found that 29 shot had struck him, 10 In ed the body and 19 lu the arm. The wounds ou were such as could not be Inflicted by a 1 weapon In his own hands. The Jury, after a m careful investigation, brought In tho verdict pr that the deceased Charles Sullivan came to t,0 Ills death from wounds inflicted by a deadly on weapon la the hands of his brother Jume* rc< Hull!van. James Hulllvan has been arrested, i wj and ia on bis way to Abbeville JalL ftt ^ ^ ha The Fly la the Wheat. 1 We learn that Dr J. W. Thomas of this !!!? County haa been In correspondence with ' ' ome of the departments at Washington in reference to the fly that has been in our small ^ grain crops for the last several weeks. He , 1 Mntoa a specimen of the fly, and we are in- , formed that those to whom tlie matter was 'J* referred pronounce the fly a "lea/ hopper." The Rock HiU Herald, of last week says that L Mr. Iredell Jones of that place recently sent ho ? to the Agricultural department in WashingIngton a description of tlie fly, and recelfetl da 4P> the following answer: sir "It ' probable from Mr. Jones' description I thl that the fly of which be speaks Is not the ge llessian fly. Of this, however, we cannot be certain until we have reoclved specimens. 1 > Several letter* have been recelvM from South wc Carolina, complaining of destruction to the Co W|ldHlCRI|i ut a iumu ivo4 t?vpi'v 4 . 4.*, to the genus Jassus. Probably this is the in* gu ect that Mr. Jones refer* to. In cas? thlslstl proves to be ?o, the only remedy which we pr ?in suggest Is the carrying of torches through | , the flela at night, or the building of bontires ; In the vicinity of the flelt>; as the lnsccts of this family are readily attracted by light and .. will perish lit the flames in great numbers." 1 tir An Honorable Officer. mi At the last term of tho Court at Abbeville, Jj "Walter Collier was convicted of arson, and aent to the penitentiary for a term of years.; j Krom evidence which has come to light since !

The city was full of up-coun- he try folk, and the tradespeople of the City by ag the Sea seemed to be in good spirits at the sight of thetr country cousins.

Tin: defendant J. Ward law Perrln, Trensur- ki r of the County, Instructed by the authorlles of the said railroad, on the loth Decern- Bn er, 187*. gave notice that after 18th January, ' l. D, 1K70, he would proceeil to collect by levy :* nd sale of land the railroad tax, as provided "a ir in the collection of State and County ix es. gu According to this notice the plaintiffs nam- m tl. with sundry others, paid their shares of j,r lie amount voted, but under protest; and rouirht their actions In the Court of Com- lJr ion Pleas for the recovery of the sums sov- P? rully paid by them. I nc These suits are brought under the provls- kn >ns of the Act of 1X77. A* A. 1877, p. 7SU.

The word "taxes" nie is a technical meaning. Taxes are burdens j ?. uposed by legislative authority for the sup- t. >rtof government and for public purposes, xS mount or assessment Is a word of d lire rent -*-'1 nport; and the latter word means a certain tLe mi to be collected, not from the public at wit rge, but from a certain class of persons who the f their own net have subjected themselves tliu i Its payment. As by the Act only taxes rongfully or illegally collected can be recoved, unless the words "amounts voted for each township" mean taxes, then the Act ves no remedy to the plaintiffs. They have I )t wrongfully or Illegally paid tnxrg. and bei ivc thus failed to bring themselves within the e description of persons relieved by the j^0] ct. Further, the sixth section of said Act was P01 pealed or "erased"' by A. A. 12 March. 1878, re<* 4X2. The townships severally were deciar- id I to be bodies politic and cori>oratc. There- fee lit of tills legislation was that at said time rel ic power to enforce payment pro rata of the s]u nount voted tor, was taken away. Thus, ' hen the notice was given by the Treasurer . i the loth Dec. 1878, that a levy and sale to iforcc the collodion of the parts of the nount unpaid' would be made on the loth ly of January next, the proceeding whs J Ithont authority of law. It was urged for dai le defence that a payment without law to u0". nforce the collection, was voluntary and . >uld not be recovered. Jr The Act provides that when the Treasurer dei lull claim the taxes charged upon his book, rea r when some step or proceeding Is taken to fro illect the same, tho person paying taxes bio rongfully or Illegally, and under protest, s^0 lay bring suit to recover the sum paid. The roof Is, tho Treasurer did not eliarge the lins rtjcelved on his books of olllcc, but had >mc book not olllclal in which he made his * itries, arid that the only step or proceeding me ) collect, the same was the notice given by (tb te defendant, as above slated.

Tills form of proceeding was doptcd so as to raise the precise question deIred to be settled, to wit' the validity of the Lct; and It was carried beforo the Supreme ri burt; then 1 n session, so that the Judgment, | rhutever It might bo, should be final and con- bi luslvo. The case was promptly heard by the Su- h rcnie Court,and after full argument., a major* ty of the Court?Associate Justice McGowan imenting?having reached the conclusion that the error in the first section was fatal to he validity of that section," and "having inanlmously determined that so much of tho econd section as made provision for the ? Charleston military organisation was without > nrce of law,"refused the motion for inanda* I ntis. Under these circumstances the tax de- I lartment found Itself powerless to raise tho I iccessary supplier for State purposes for J he presont fiscal year without furthci leglslalon. Such being the fact, *'an extraordinary occaion," and one demanding the assembling of lie legislative department as the only power ompetent to meet the emergency. In my iplnlon, was present; and bollevlng this, by Irtuoof authority vested In me by Section 16 Article III, of tho Constitution, I issued my irocianiation convening tho General Ai.semilv at 12 M. to-day. Under this proclamation, gentlemen, you I] iave assembled. V And now permit me to invite jour earnest lu ittentlon to the matters herein suggested, and e> o recommend the adoption on your part of ucli measures as In your wisdom may bo nee- to ssary in the premises. i in I do not know that you will go beyond the natter above suggested, and which hus neicssltatcd the call for the extra session. This c fr.r vnn to determine. There is certainly lothing in the Constitution, at least in exit's terms, to prevent; anil I suppose that, lavingassembled, you will calmly deliberate ipon tlie necessities of the situation and will idopt such course upon this subjectas.ln your udKinent, may be wise and proper without egard to preconceived opinions or outside In- rr luenccs, if thero be any. In any event you I fill necessarily be in session for a period ol a, lvc days in perfecting and passing the Act to d, also supplies, because under the provisions >f the Constitution regulating the forms of w eglslatlon no Act can be passed in a shorter Inic than five days. The .Supply lilll, how ver, will not engage all of your attention luring this period, aiid, such being the facthere can be 110 reason why other matters, of mportance, in no way Interfering with the C prompt passage of said bill, should not be u onsldcred at this time. And there is ono _ abject especially which it seems tome should r icmand attention?a subject which, in some lolnts of view, in my judgment'rises even _ ilglier in imrortnnce than the supply bill iticll?I allude to a proper registration law. _ Section 3. Article VIII, of the Constitution L eijulres that the "Legislature shall from time o time prf)Vide for the registration of dec- J f ors." Heretoforo this duty, no doubt for 1 V. sood nnd sufficient reasons, has been preter? i... lintmrul Assembly. It appears [ 4 IlillCU ?/J W.v . a> mo, however, lhat if this provlslonof the Constitution Is not to be Ignored altogether, noinorc favorable opportunity can ever bo presented for complying with Its terms by a _ ;alni and deliberate preparation of suitable laws on this subject than now.
