Tn the; United States the Company, under its ac-; customed principle of investing earningwt where they are made, now hasaccumuluted assets aggregating S5,771,9.">9.71. Of these assets, $1,I4."?,000 has hoen anchored | in oflico real estate tor the convenience of; the Company's enormous business, e?pe-! 1 < ? rn-nr / itioo Til m f\rtO^l(TP? j nnd United States bonds, the Company j lias Investments of more than $.'$.000,000. | In fact, were the Liverpool nnd London j and Globe an American institution, out1 nnd out, its United States operations and i investments could not be more patriotic.j The transactions of 1883 show a gain of ; nearly 8600.000, as between inmme and : expenditures. Admitting the fact that; the Branch makes no dividends, as do' our own offices, it is none the less true; that in this ?(>00,000 there certainly is the 1 material for dividend-making:, if "such a thing were in order. When it is added ; that this very large and successful Com-1 pany has a net surplus hereof S2.576.511.-j 28 over all United Statos liability, of. whatever kind, we have said all that need j be said in commendation of the Company i find its admirable management. This' Company which has never beat its policy j holders out of a cent in Abbeville county is represented by Mr. B. S. Barnwell, at Abbeville. Anpleton's Sew Geography. We have been presented by Mr. Wm. I S. MorrUon, the traveli ig agent of the; publishers, Messrs. I). Appleton ?fc Co.,j with one of their standard higher Geographies, fresh from the press. This I Geography is exceedingly attractive in its j appearance, tho binding being sloth, and . ' brightly varnished. Tho maps are nu-j inerous, beautifully colored and full, the; railroads are accurately and fully given, | nnd show even those built in Asia and Africa. The series comprises two books,' * the Elementary and the Higher (the one: before us), ami we soe no reaso;. why the Appleton Geography will not h mn fill an ! important place in tlio schools. The En-| gravings too are numerous and oleirant. Tho fact, too, that theS' .ith Carolina snp- j plement has been prepared under the su- ' per vision of that talented and highly es-' teemed citizen of our Suite, Dr. Jas. H.! Carlisle, adds much to its merit. Among! the important places in the States men- j tioned in this Geojrraphj-, Abbeville1 ranKs prominently.

II. Parker, Esq., and it was one of the fullest meetings that we have had.; Col. J. T. Robertson, chairman ; J. P. < Cothran, Esq., sec.; M. P. DcBruhl, Esq., J essayist.

He has also got in two first class tableu, billards and pool. The public greatly admired the first saloon started by Mr. McCSettigan for neatness and good order, but a look into the new saloon will convince his many patrons that Tom was not near doing his best while getting up the Palmetto House, The fancy wood work has l>een done by Mr. YV. G. Chapman and the painting by the Jones Brothers and done in good style. Thkrk is a great scracity of money at Abbeville, and if we did not now depend upon an army of delinquents for material aid, we should shut up shop. But we are fully convinced from the signs of* the times, that every subscriber will have W "84" on his paper before Spring fairly sets in. We are keeping count with our friend, the Barnwell Sentinel. The Pre** and Banner is still ahead on the paid list, though the Sentinel must have a larger lfst of delinquents, and the Lord knows ours is large enough. The public roads in the County are now in a better condition than they have beeu for years at this seaaou of the year. g SB ^JJL J 1?B Tn? store of A.

Maj. Whitner Tries to Show Wherein His Argument Before the Suprome Court in Reference to the Savannah Vnlley Railroad Tax was Disjointed. Andkiwon, S. February, 9th 1181. Edit or frets aiul Banner : I My argument l.i the Savannah Valley Raili road case as abbreviated and printed In your paper of this week Is like the play of Hamlet with the character of Hnnilcl leM out. Iti your remarks by way of preface you say ; you present IliearKUtncntof Mr. lionet against : the constltutlonallty of the Savannah Valley Kailroad tax and the argument 011 the other side by Mr. Whttner. This Implies that my I argument was upon the constitutionality of the tax. I regarded and certainly Intended ' ii as mi HruiiitnTii upon uicjiinviMcnim <>i mc 1 Court. predicated upon Sections 1 and 2 of iui I Aft (l-V78?'to facilitate the collection of t:iX'*s,' 1 re-cn.icted In Sections 2G?s and 2<5Uof tin; <j<-n. eral Statutes tl-SS2); in which the constitutionality of the tax, with reference to Its object, was only incidentally considered, j .Indue Withcrspoon having decided that this waNiita.x in the meaning of that Act, > and the Court having no Jurisdiction In the : premises he could not consider the constltuj tionallt.vot the t:?x, my object win, If possible, 'to sustain Ids dccrec. My argument. as ?le; livered before the supreme Court is the same ' in scope, arrangement and matter th it [ delivered In Citcult and I think Mr. Jleuet's is suhstanllally the same. I My views I sought toenf >rce under two gen* eral propositions. ! 1. That this Is a tax, (in the meaning of the Act referred to.) 2. That the remedy to enjoin the collection 'of taxes has been expressly taken away by | Statute (the Act referred to) and no longer ex ISIS III IIIIM Mint!. I After pointing out. under the first gi-noral proposition, 1st. Unit the Legislature hud repcntudly (leclart'U this nnd oilier similar i levies to he tuxes: and 2-ul. considering the power of the Legislature over the general suh|eet of taxation, I did. In the 3rd. subdi| vision, ns to the object of this particular tax, seek to show, upon authority, that the Federal Court*, and nearly all the State Courts, I including our own. hud recognized In many decisions these railroad aid taxes ns a legitimate exercise of the taxing power, where not j expressly prohibited by the State constitutions. And I enlarged somewhat upon this [point, In the number of authorities cited, to meet the views urged by Mr. Renet, and to i-how that railroads had been decided to be highways, their use to be in the nature of a public use, and to-aid-ln-thelr-constructlon a legitimate purpose of taxation. It fitted Into the general scheme of my argument, or the first branch of It, and In so far as it involved principles of constitutional law. and further, j that tliere Is nothing in our State constitution expressly forbidding such an exercise of (the taxim; power, you may say that my argument was upon the constitutionality of the | tax. ltut had I sought to vindicate this tux in the sense that Mr. Henet assniled It, I clwinUI linte miuie n vorv different argument. I didn't think It necessary lu the view I took i of the chsc. Proceeding next to show that this was not n local assessment as wns earnestly argued for plalntitr on Circuit to escape the provisions ol .Section 'Jti'J, I passed to the consideration of the 2nd. general proposition that the remedy to enjoin the collection of taxes is taken away by that'.Sectlon.T nnu in conclusion summarized my argument in the following propositions. These Acts nnd Authorities It is believed establish the following proposition* : 1. That the Legislature has repeatedly declared this railroad assessment to be a tax eo nomine and lias in other instances, denominated similar assessments "taxes." 2. That the Legislature Is exclusively vested with the taxing power, with the right to determine as to the polIcy. purpose and extent of a tax and the Courts cannot interfere or question its authority unless It has been clearly transcended in the purpose for which the tax is laid. 3. That to aid In building railroads hns been adjudged by the overwhelming weight of authorities to be a legitimate purpose for levying taxes by towns, cities, counties Ac., where the Legislature has bestowed the authority j and where there Is no constitutional Inhibition upon the exercise of this power by the Leglslatu re. 4. That this Is not a local assessment in the j sense In which that term Is used and defined by eminent, text writers, who In no instance speak of tnxes levied by municipal arid other I political corporations to aid in building rati-! roads as loc.nl assessments. 6. That If this be regarded a local assess-1 ment In the sense that It Is a special and not! a general tax, because levied only in certain ' designated taxing districts, it is nevertheless j n [mri hi (lie taxing power; hum itnnvinxu i lit the terms "State, county and other taxes" | uneil In the Act of December 24,187s, "to fuel I- j tale I he collection ol taxes." fi. That the object of Sections 1 nnd 2 of! that Act (re-enacted In Sections 20S and 209 of I General Statutes 1SR!) was to deprive the j Court* of Jurisdiction of the remedies of pro- j h'biiion and injunction to prevent or restrain i (he collection of all taxes (conceived tobeil-i lecal or unjust for any cause) when such taxes I have been charted upon theofficial tax-books! of tho county; nnd to substitute another nnd ; ditlerent remedy. 7. lint each installment of this tax. wns ; rofirularly, every year changed upon the county duplicates for Anderson county, the books ; prescribed by the tax Act for that purpose, { and the Court is therefore without power to j grant the remedy Invoked. This brief outline of my argument, shows , how wide you were ol the mark in publishing j it as upon the constitutionality of the t:ix. j Sections 1 and 2 of the Act of 187H now Sec- \ Hons 26$ and 26!? of the General Statu U s whose j provisions constituted the very foundation! stone ot my argument, and quoted at tengtii, you wholly omit. These sections provide In j substance that where any "State, county or other taxes" are charged upon the book? of! anv fount v Treasurer analnst any pen-on and | he conceives the same to be unjiut or iltvf/al j for any c<he h1i:i 11 pay said taxes, not wit li- j standing, miller protest-. sin 1 brlnjr Ills action to recover them back, Ac. Thnt there filial I be i no other remedy iii any case for the wrougful j or Illegal collection of taxes, and that no writ order or processor any kind, preventing any ; officer from the collection of any tax (whetli- j er such tax Is legally dne or not)shall be grant- j ed by any Court or by the Judge ot nny Court. Moreover, in tho general razeeing to which ! you subjected my argument, by a fatality I ino-a unfortunate for me. you left out even in I the subdivisions published, citations ami par-1 ugraphs that I considered the most pertinent, i and. divided others even to the dividing! asunder the Joints and marrow, thereby ob-j Bearing the connections and sense. This I j must believe occurred from a too hasty reading of the argument, or a failure to perceive j the special pertinency of the paragraphs \ omitted or a difference of Judgment. I certainly impute no want of good will to me personally or a purpose to emasculate the argument but tlie result Is a mutilated trunk i shorn of whatever of strength or symmetry it may have possessed as a whole. Ry actual! count yon have omitted 10 of the fi7 folios or j say 10 of the -J pages, while you have printed Mr. Ilenct's argument almost entire, (except as to the constitutionality of the charter not I printed on either side) which being on a sin-1 gle point, Its continuity and sense are pre-i served. I do not suppose the average render will j trouble himself to wade through these dry I arguments, but the people of the Western ' townships In your county along the line ofi road feel nn interest In everything that Is I UII HIIO OUUJI.-VII l UVJ u?v v?v? ?/?? ? ".? j Ing, under tlie stringent requirements of the i recent Act, to be permitted to vote upon I themselves it further tax to complete the. grading of the road, and I do not care to be | prcsenled to them or to the legal fraternity as j having made the Incoherent and disconnected argument you have published nieas making. But for this I should have preferred to Miner j the Injustice you have done me rather than ; Incur the ri>k, however remote, ot a newspaper controversy, a pleasurable excitement I | hever yet enjoyed and would little relish. I have thought It. proper, however, to say this much In self-vindication. Respectfully, H. V. WHITXER. [Public School Teachers.

Cash for Teachers. \8umter Watchman and Southron.] After this year, the schools In Clarendon will be run on a cash biisls. The amount of money held over at the end of this school year will lie utilized, and the schools will run only so long as the money lasts. Alter that year Is out, It will be plain sailing. Thej Treasurer will report the amount of money collected, utid the Board of Examiners will] make their arrangements accordingly. Our purpose In writing of this, Is not so much for congratulating Clarendon as It is, for endeavoring to Induce Sumter to follow her example. It can be done without trouble or legislation. Let each Board of Tiustees agree to spend what money the Treasurer may have to t he credit of their district, and then close the schools until next year, and when they can run the usual length of time. It Is useless to show the advantage of cash over crcdit. Every teacher that sells a cheek can understand that, and while the parties who buy checks are paying a good price for them, yet there is necessarily a discount and the teachers ! lose It. It Is always pleasant to have some one else In accord with our views, and we i subjoin the following from the Williamsburg Herald "The Trustees of Free Schools for this county and the School Commissioner have lost a golden opportunity of placing upon a cash I basis the free schools of this county. We : have been advocating for several years, to abolish the free schools for one year In order i to plate tliern upon a cash basis, jso one i will deny that this credit system Is runlous ; to the teachers and demoralizing to the Inter! est of free schools. At best the public schools i system outside a few towns anil cities of this 1State. is nothing more than a farce so far as actual educational facilities are concerned, j In this county the average length of school Is ! from two to two and a half months, and that ; on a credit of twelve months. There was In i the treasury from the last fiscal year an nn! expended amount to'the public school credit, j sufficient to have run the schools a little ] more than one month, and we were very ! much In hope that the Trustees and t'ommls! Blotter would have ordered the schools stopped. And at the beginning of another school ! year the teachers could have been paid cash I for their services. It Is true the funds then | on hand would be for tills fiscal year. Rut by a special act of the Legislature, any unexpended school fund for this county can be carried from one year to another." !

Tho moHt interesting case trier] at this torin of the Court of Sessions was that ol Dennis Swearingeti, charged with thr murder of 1'Yaiik IVj-telle, on Sunday morning, Ifith December, lss:J. The ti??ceased was a Urge, powerful nogro, 21 years of age, six feet high ami weighing over 200 pounds. Tho testimony showed lie was the '"king of tho quarter" on the Norwood plantation where tho homicide took plaeej that he hud "run over" Iannis and beaten him before the homicide ; that he and all the "old seed" of the Norwood negroes were very elauish ami dis: posed to impose on and make common | causo against outsiders. Dennis was an i outsider, hired to one of tho Norwood hpgroes. lie is a small-sized mulatto, ol slight frame, lit years of age. llis plea was self-defence: that, timid naturally, 1 1 I... 1- l.nll.M.,,.

The State was represented by Solicitor Orr and K. G. Gravdon. Earn. The r>ris [oner was defended by Mr. lionet and Mr. I Wardlaw Smith. Tho case began on I Wednesday evening, when theState nearly closed its esse. By Thursday evening ! at adjournment the arguments pro and con bad been made. Judge Hudson I charged tho jury on Friday morning. I Tho jury retired a little before 11 o'clock A.M. llefore tho hour of recess, they came into Court and announced through their foreman that they could not agree. After a short second charge from tho Judge they again retired and were left in their room during adjournment. Public interest was high, and speculation was rife, the almost unanimous expectation being that the verdict would be not I guilty. At 4 P. M. the jury rendered a | verdict of "guilty of manslaughter with a I recommendation"to mercy." Lewis Allen pleaded guilty ol assault ! and battery of a high and aggravated na! ture. The Court asked this prisoner if l he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him. Ho replied that he wculd make a statement: ho had noticed that his wile had begun to show sijrns of eoldnoss towards him, and a fondness for another man. This he thought sufficient cause to justify him in giving her "a sound thrashing, I which he accordingly did." The Judge asked mm wnv no ma noi wmp mc man. To this lie replied that ho ran and "got away." After tlio Judge passed scntcnco the prisoner urged that tho sentence was too severe, as lie was only iu the discharge of his dutj\ The sentence was reduced to $20 or three mouth* in jail. He paid. The case of the State against James II. Simpson, Indicted for assault and battery with intent to kill came to trial. It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Luther Haddou, went to the house of Mr. Simpsou, where he was at work planing a piece of timber, li by 3 inches square, and 3 feet long. Mr. Haddou commenced telling a joko at Mr. Simpson's expense, which he did not like. This joke had been told often. Mr. Simpson was tired of it, and in orde: to put a stop to any further repetition of tho story, used the timber in knocking Mr. Haddon off his horse, striking him on the back ol .t-- i 1 mi.: ?., i.i, Lliw nc.ui. i ma n an ii > v;i j nuii</uii u?m., and came very killing Mr. Haddon, and proved that fun is not always relished. After iMr. Haddou was prostiate and unconscious, Mr. Simpson;immediately did all that was in his power for the comfort of the wounded man. This fact led the Judgo to be lighter on him than he otherwise would have been. The prisoner was sentenced to pay a tine of ?7") and costs. Col. E. IJ. (tary for the defendant. The State against Pleasant Anderson, sr., and Pleasant Anderson, jr., elurgod with stealing a canoe, was tried. It appeared from tho evidence that Peter Filer had taken up a stray batteau which he found on the Savannah Kiver. Tho batteau was proved to be the property of Mr. K. Swraringen. This batteau was taken from Fifer's landing by Pleasant Anderson, senior. Viler then indicted hi in for stealing the canoe. Tho case was tackled in Trial Justice Hansom's Court, and from that Court it came to the Court of Sessions. Hero the question arose as to whether the boat was a canoe. According to Webster's definition it was a batteau?a eanoo being a boat which is dugout of a tree. Tho noxt question was as to ownership of the boat. Fifer claimed that as he had repaired the bottom of it he had Iherebv established a ; ?f'l.? A rwlnrumw Ilgllkl/l I'.I'I'HIJ ... .I. J..- ......v.... denied that Filer had any rip;ht to the battcau, und objected t?? the indictment on tbegrouud that the boat in question was a battcau and not a canoe. The Judce Slid that tho eapturo of a loose boat in the river gave the tinder no more right to it, than he would have to a stray horse which he might take up. The jury were lclt to decide whether tho l>ont was a battcau or a canoe. Verdict, not guilty. K. Noble, jr? Esq., attorney. Mack bovell was found guilty of an assault upon a little girl, under ten years of age. Sentence, three years in penitentiary. (). T. Calhoun, ICsq., attorney. The firstcise taken upon Saturday was the ease of the State vs. fJeorge Jones, larceny of livestock, viz: tho stealing of a hog from Mr. John S. Williams. The prisoner was represented by Mr. L. W. Smith. The evidence against hi in was circumstantial, but of such a nature as to convince tho jury of his guilt. Mr. Smith afterwards made a motion in arrest of judgment, but the Judgo refused to entertain it. Sentence, one year in penitentiary. In the case of the State vs. Thornton Hclron. indicted for bnrirlarv. Mr. P. C. Suber, the prosecutor, succeeded so well in saddling a pair of slices which must have been worn by the person who entered his meat house, upon the prisoner, that the jury in a short while rendered ? verdict of guilty. Mr. T. 1\ Cothran represented the prisoner. In consequence of his conviction, Thornton will bo absent from the County for the space of two years. The State vs. Loirnx, enticing away a servant under contract, was an appeal case from Trial Justice Tarrant's Court. Dr. II. O. Klngh was the prosecutor and Mr. W. A. Lomax the defendant. After hearing the testimony and the argument the Judge reversed the judgment of the Court below. In this case Mr. O. T. Calhoun represented the defendant. Tho Slate vs. (Jeorgo Williams was next taken up. George was indicted for burglary. It seems that he had been in the habit of stealing cotton from tho cotton house of Mr. 1*. L. McCelvey. Messrs. W. P. and (). T. Calhoun appeared for tho prisoner. No testimony was put up in his behalf, liis counsel arguing that the indictment was fatally defective, inasmuch as the house pone into by George did not belong to the prosecutor as was alleged in the indictment. After the charge by the Judge the jury rendered a verdict of guilt}'. The Messrs. Calhoun gave notice of a motion in arrest of judgment. George Williams's post otlicc address for the next two years will be Columbiu, S. C. The first case taken tip was the State vs. Pickney McRridcand John Shepperd ?burglary. These parties were charged with breaking into tho fowl house of Miss Henrietta Penney and stealing therefrom six turkys of the value of six dollars. MciJride was represented by F. B. Gary, K?q., and Shepherd by W. P. Calhoun, Esq. The jury returned a verdict of guilty as to Shepherd of petit larceny and not guilty asto McBride. Shepherd goes to tho penitentiary fjr one year. After hearing tho evidence in the case of tho State vs. Allen Povlin charged with assault and battery of a high and aggrarated nature, the Solicitor consented to a verdict of not guilty. The defendant was represented by Messrs. Bradley and Klugh. This was a negro fight at a pious hot supper. The prosecutor had gotten ahead on whiskey, and in his cra7,e cut himself with a razor. In this trial the prosecutor, as in too many other cases, proved himself to be the meanest man of the lot. The State vh. Lewis Moore obtaining goods under false pretences was an ap; peal from Trial Justice Court. After i hearing the evidence upon motion tho Judgo sustained the appeal and reversed I the decision of the Court below, on the ; ground that tho negro had been guilty of ! no greater offence than a failure to pay a debt. Tho State vs. II. A. Napier?Larceny of live stock was continued. Tho criminal docket being now disposed of, the Judge ordered the prisoners who had been convicted at this term of the Court to be brought in that sentence might be passed upon them. In sentencing them the Judge called uftnritirin tn Hin fnr-f tint tlmv were nil | young able bodied negroes who bail grown up since the war, and had never | known what slavery was and that they ] were all with one or ;wo exceptions convicted of stealing. In the case of Dennis Swearengen, Mr. Benot, counsel for the prisoner made n new trial on the ground of after-discovered evidence, goinp to falsify some ol the evidence which had been produced by the State. After arguments by Mr. Benot pro and Solicitor Orr contra, the Judge refused the motion and sentenced the prisoner to the penitentiary for the term of two years.
