The United States ought, to get. ri?l of .1 ... v., 1.1 T1 .w.nntn iue property uow uciu m u ?u'"i?v"u.i. j as soon as possible, both for the intens's of the federal government and for those * of the peop e of the county. The town property is rapidly fading into ruin, the plantations and farms are shiftlessly cultivated and the whole thine? is a source of little but anoyance to the government. Any setlUment is better than none, hut ^ there can be do settlement without a sale. To yice these lands to the old owners will only increase the confusion. All thoughts of the former owners should be dismissed in treating of the disposition of the property now held by the government. There is but one thing to do and that is to sell it. In order to treat the suhj- ct of reimbursement of the former owners of this property, there should be no thought of anything but a money reimbursement. To give back even the property now in the hands of the government would breed nothing but turmoil and would be m most ins'antcs a worthless gift. ? Let the money accuring to the governno ut from the prop^d sal" now under consideration and the sum of all pr< vious sales, (deducting, perhaps, simply the tax and penalty, but not all the oth?r expenses. such as salaries, etc..) be divided amoDg theowner8of properly sold ?u proportion to the tax levied upon them, or in proportion to the amount which their property brought. A commissioner should be appointed whose decision should be final, and who should be empowered to take from the rec;p:euts of this reimbursement an obligation not to sue the government or aDy one holding title from the government. Jnalnust every case this would be gladly done by the old owners, and all suits would fall at once The only men to oppose such a settlement would be the lawyers who have formed a combination and hold an assignment of one-halt' the psoperty, should it he returned by process of law. A money compensation wou'd cut them out. The money, too. would be free from the bun/,#" i n/11, mi, nle m i ?rt no entuila UICUO ui U'O, Wj v*??(*itw) liens, etc., which &o encumber every piece of property iu the county. We believe this settlement would be haih d with satisfaction by the people on both sides of this question. Until some settlement is made th<re is no hope of prosperity for the county. Our Congressional District. We think that Senator Smalls' success In so changing the appotlionment bill as to throw Charleston out of our congressional district, will be hailed \v th satisfaction. The new district will be homogeneous in i's character and we will cut loose from ali the quarrels and bittern* s> engendered by the last cauvas. The attention of all will now be turned toward a suitable candidate. We trust one will be selected who will have the ability and .the desire to attend to the inter* sts of his constituents. EDITORL\ L COR REKi'ONI)EN'CE. i CoLl'Mr.iA. S. C.. Jan. -2. All quiet on the Conga ree. After the exr.tement of the pa?t few week- the ordinary ; ...i **..? ....? course ol ii'kij-eenis mj?h-, nm iX4 unprofitable. The election of the judgeoccasioned some interest, but the election : passed (tb niueli more quietly than had been anticipated. Our circuit is fortunate in I stearin^ the services of Mr. Mahcr, as judge. Kverv ?ne speaks in the highest terms of hint, both as a man and a lawyer. He is of middle age. h althy, strong .and energetic, an 1 it is said, means to attack o ir ! plethoric civil docket with a will. It is pre- I dieted tlsat he will clear it in a single term. Our lawyers had better be on their guard, as he will call ea-es right and left. He ready gentlemen, an 1 help the judge to clear the docket. Impeachment is dead. The house ft els that the matter was engineered by the, wrong parties. It is a rule of law that the J complainant must conic into court with clean hands. That rule of law was violated in this case. The character of some of tinaccusers of Gov. Scott, is too" well known to give weight to their accusation-. Nevertheless, there is enough of truth in the charges bandied to and fro to indicate to j 4 ?? the Republican party the wisdom of dropping both the rival factions. An entire new deal must be made. Let us have fresh men. who will have the confidence of the masses We cannot afford to go into the canvas on the defensive. We must be ready with a ticket which we can challenge the nemy to traduce. There is material enough in the party to produce sreh a ticket, and if we value success and fear defeat, let us use it. Senator Smalls has wisely objected to the Congressional apportionment bill published in the papers last week. He has prepared another bill, which will be reported on Tuesday, entirely reiuoddeling the uis.riots. Ours will be the filth district, an 1 will consist of Beaufort, B irnwoll, Edgefield and Abbeville. Charleston will be thrown with Orangeburg. Colleton and Lancaster. By the new bill all the five districts will certainly be Republican. This is due to the sagacity of our senator. Efforts are being made to compromise with the holders of the bonds of the State, by issuing new bonds and taking un the others at the rate of fifty cents on the dollar. This shouid not be allowed. If the bonds now issued are a legal debt of the S.ate they ought^to be paid in full. If they ;iie fraudulent bond-* they ought not to be paid at all. JVter pa>s a bid that 110 more bonds of any kind shall be issued, and then submit an amendment to the constitution prohibiting any increase of the State debt for any purpose for ten years, except in the case of war. Such a prohibition would meet the enthusiastic) sanction of the people. J. G. T. The Funding Bill, The bill to fund the debt of the county has been prepared by Col Wiggin, and will be pressed by several of our delegation. sPr. Wilder, our county treasurer, aided greatly in re-assuring the minds of some who had b-^en misled by the silly trash put forth by tho-e "wi>hful" to defeat anything favored by those terrible fellows the county commiesioue s. jfeay' The political pot is begiuniog to boil in Columbia. Candidates are as plenty as blackberries in June. Gov. Scott is determined to ark a re-nomination, and is confident of success. If he should, it it asserted and believed that there will be two republicau conventions. ?The alarm of fire Monday, was caused by the burning out of a chimuey,in the residence of Mr. Waterhouse. Snow. In the snow which fell on Thursday night lbaufort had an unusual ai.d unwelcome visitor. It mud*: a desperate attempt to render snow-billing possible to our yamins, but our mild cluue would not allow it. Ere morning light the snow had gone uwh re the wood bine twiueih.*' ? The Port Royal R. R. carried sixty biles of cotto for Mr. Polliizer, aud twenty seven for W'aterh ?use & Ricker last Saturday.

Mfssrst Elitors. Wi 1 you please in form me why it is that the manageis of the last election f ?r Sheriff have uot been paid. There are to my certain knowledge persons who acted as managers, who are in great need of the money due. Vow they are entitled according to the act to receive pay, but are told that there is no appropriation made by the legislature to meet the same, this being a special election. Now my idea is, that it there is no way of meeting those claims that there sh rnl i be one made. It iF th duty of our representatives to take some measures to see tlnse claims pad.
