GRANT BEXOJUNATED. t A
tl
The Philadelphia convention, a? all ^
who have watched its manufacture, 0,
have expected, has renominated Grant, j p
The President just as much owned the | 0l
convention as though it had been an- :
other present, as indeed it was, from
office holders. There is not now. nor
was there ever, the least enthusiasm i c
for Grant among the people. The jj
Great Office holdtr and Oftiec seeker i Sj
has simply been nominated by a con- ;
ventiou of office-holders and olfice 1
seekers. TVe repudiate the nomination,
and believe it will meet with a ^
defeat more thorough than has ever j>
been experienced by a presidential 0j
ticket. ; tl
Its success would be a victory of all r
that is sellidi, mean and degrading in C1
politics. The iullaeuce of Grant upon tj
public and private morality has been a
great and pernicious, but wc trust not g
so wide-spread as to thoroughly vitiate ! jr
the conscience of the people. ^
The election ofGrant would strength- I w
en every incompetent, reckless, (lis- I a]
honest adventurer and scallawag who < r(
has been lifted into place and power by
the social and political upheaval inci- i
dent to reconstruction in the South, i
Such wretches would feel themselves ^
back-d up by the success of similar
elements iu lite North, and some who w
are now qu iking in view of a speedy |
and deserved retribution would been- p(
couraccd to sturdy effort for a reten- 1 )(
tiou of iht ir ascendanc}'. j fr
It may be that the developments of j C(
the next sixty days will convince the i ft;5
Republican party of the neci ssity of^
pre scntiugauother candidate. If we are jn
obliged 1 o choose between Grant and : ^
Greeley. we will unhesitatingly support .(j
the latter, as a hotter man and a I etter
R publican. Sh< uld the D* 1110cats
make a straight nomination ( ur course i
will probably be affected by it.

'i'iie Interest ?;? Slate iiond-. S.
The holders of State bonds are nal- !i<
oraliy anxious to know what is to be as
done about the payment of interest, de
The tlovernor, in a letter published in 1 lei
the, X -w York papers, says that there tb
will be no interest paid until Jan. 1 w<
1-7J, when there will ho two gears' fe!
"interest due. The fourth section of hi
tlie validating act. rujuire9 that "an to
annual tax, in addition to a'l other K
taxes, ah ill be levied upon the prop te
erty of the State sufli ient to pay the on
inten-t on the bonds n.im'd or pro- ! Ti
vided for by this act until the principal gi"
of said bonds shall b? come duo."' th
j
This would seem t > requin the h vy- au
lug of a tax this year as will as in all n :
subsequent years It d-xs not-. how-J St
ever, explicitly order the levying of a otl
tax to payback interest. |

If there is any way to relieve the "f
people this year of the interest tax we 'h'
hope it will be done. Many of the !>u
bonds are in the hands of men who
paid little or nothing for thera and can -l;!

The Price of Eminence. fit
The ape of vituperation seems to be \
014-?. Greeley and Grant are now suffering
from the attacks of the slanderers.
They arc to be pitied. The fa- in
tare historian, laboring to arrive at a coi
fair conclusion of the characters of the or<
.
eminent men of our eouutry must be-*
ware of t'ic poptical journals. Every >ic
sp* eics o: insinuation, ly ing, contempt- tin
ible slander are used to promote the of
interests of one candidate and to injure po
, the other. Censufe, says Dean Swift, M
is the tax a man pays to the public for th
being eminent. li i\> folly for a gnat i M
mau to thiuk of escaping itaud a weak- th
ress to be affected. by if . J a the old or
B^man '.1?. sat iiC AiiU invective were foi
<nside: cd escntial parts of a General's
iumph, and the successful aspiran1
r civil honors deemed his success iiv
jraplete, (however welcome might b<
leir absence) if he were not loadec
ith reproaches and accusations o
eruption, and wickedness It woulc
j well to leave these things to th<
rst. Both Greeley and Grant havi
st, the one hy the acceptance of s
omiuation, the other by the accep
mce of office. General Grant as thi
omraanderin-Lhiet, ol ttie America:
.rmv was beloved by all, envied h;
:vv. Mr. Greeley as the foremcs
)urnalist cf the country was trainer:
ideed, independent of all and occupiei
position full}- ae honorable and en
iable as any in the gi t of the people
'hey have both belittled themselves
Ve may ascribe to both the most pa;
iotic motives, we may honor them fo
teir ambition to do the country ser
ice, but it will bs a source of regret t
oth that they permitted themselve
o mingle in the mud aDd filth c
Ltnerican political life. General Gran
he other day told an old soldier friem
ho occupies a subordinate but thoi
ughly independent position "that tb
'residency was no bed of roses, nor it
ccupaut a happy man."

* THE U. & DIRECT TAX LAND BILL.
. ! The bill providing for the disposal of j
2 | lands held by the federal government j
\ ; in this county to which we referred !
f j lPiSt week has not yet passed the Sen- j
} j ate. Its provisions are different in |
5 several important respects from those j
g j which we gave, as such in last week's j
^ ! paper. The bill as it passed the house
- | provides: f
e j 1. That lands now held by the U. ;
3 S. by reason of the proceedings of the
v Direct. Tax Commissioners may be ret
deemed by the owners or legal rcpret
sentatives by payment of the taxes. '
d costs, and penalties, accruing up to the
!- day of sale. Two years are allowed
.. for this purpose.
j. 2. That where no claimant appears \
to redeem, the land shall be sold,
r 3. Purchasers under army and na- i
- vy certificates are allowed six months
o in which to perfect their titles by pay- j
s I ing the three-fourths due the govern?f
ment, If not paid in that time the
t , land is opened for redemption to the
J ! former owners.
4. Certain proceeds of the sale of
e I lands is given to form a school fund for
s St. Helena and St. Lukts parishes.
5. The property now occupied as a
; courthouse in Beaufort is released
to the count- without further payment. 1
- ; C. The O'Connor properly, now ocf
cupied as offices by the Internal reve- i
t nue officers, is reserved bv the United ;
j States fur custom house and other rev,
enue purposes.
7. Grounds fori'. S. cemetfries and
- light-houses are reserved to the govf;
evnment.
t j This is a good bill, and we lmpe it
f | will get through the Senate. If it is
1 j possible, we believe Mr. Sawyer will
y: ! secure us this great blcsong. lie has
r been indefatigable this session in push
I ing the malter and so far has met with 1
II signal success
o i The next thing we want is a bill for i
e the relief of the people whose property
s ' has been sold by the government., j
, There is neither reason or justice in
- : making a few people suffer out of all i
I proportion to the rest of the south. Af- ;
ter the presidential election we think
i such a measure can be passed without j
i much difficulty.

i I * " - I
Gen. Grautand deprecated any Rcpub

: little interest excited by the subject of
{ federal politics he branched oil'upon
j ! the necessity of reform in State affairs,
i This he claimed to he obtainable only i
I
, by and through the Republican party.
Those who expected him to throw i
any light upon the political or linans

| It was noticeal le that not a signal of j
rappluuse greeted the speakers, save at
. the close. The people of Beaufort ate
: not much interested in presidents.

: They are inquiiing who is responsible i
! for the disgraceful spectacle presented !
by men peddling county clucks, rove- !
line bond scrip and pay certificates at
tifiy cents on the doilai;. W^eii they
ask why is the Suite bankrupt they
' i resent as an insult the falsi hood th it it
" was brought about because tlicy did
? not pay their taxes. Four-llflhs of all
' the taxes due from ibis county have
1 : bcc-n paid, but land has hoc one a bur

' I When they .see ih.ir little plots aold

J , first time what it is they may expect
from the forbearance of those who have J
1 been placed in power by their votes.

"TOPOGRAPH." |
To 'Ac Editor of the lie publican:
"Its proper i?>wer to hurt each creature feels,
Bulla aim their horus, ami asses kick their
liteL."
Is it either just or generous for Topograph
to distort facts aud make
wrong statements apparently for the
purpose of exciting the feelings of the
community against the action of council/
Complaint was made to council that
fraud had been perpetrated on several
of our colored citizens, by a person
having sold them part of the streets of
the towu, they having paid money for
*1 ? /A. .1 . .n.ni.,;nio
uie same. ull iucbc colli jmaw-iio, auu
at the urgent riquestof these colored
men, council ordered the sutvey of the
sticets referred to, as the colored men
were anxious to know if they had beeu
imposed upon.
It was touud that three bouses were
built in the street and from twenty 4
to eighty three feet in depth by ?? ^
feet in width of the street was fenced
in and occupied by tin se men. An examination
of their deeds showed there
had been conveyed to them only the
quantity of land : he sellt r had a perlect
right to c mvey. Their error was*
caused by taking it.for for granted
their lines ran to the north line of Bay
street, instead of to the north side of
0 strtet. So far, at least, these colored
m n who desired and urgently requ
slid thi3 surety have not been disluibcd
in any i tanner.
Tile ordinance referred to ns being
threatened to ; iss is simply an invention
of Topograph's, nothing of the
sort being thought ot or proposed.
flis sUtenu nt that certain portions
of the streets have been occupied for
forty years &o. &C., settles itself, as
any lawyer would have told him uudisiurbtd
pass, ssum of pr< ptrtv for
forty yiats _ivcs the occupant title by
pr< fccr.p'i./U. hence such cases ate beyond
the rcar.it of council. As for more
lecetit titer- aehmcnfs on the streets, it
would be well if Topograph, before
finding fault, would ascertain if council
have tnki n ail needful s'epsfor prolecling
the tights of the town.
in the cases of these c* i ?red meu, it ?
was fht ir friends ^ud they who st irted ?
a. d uigtd on ih .^inquiry, and council
m signs to arrange the matter with as
little* loss and inconvenience to thc.si
cii/.ens as ciicumsianccs will peimit.
S'tice Topograph expresses himself
u:.|f judiCtd in this ma Iter, permit me
to a>!< if lu' is of ihi;s> who have been
>?! :t g lots to these v-jry men, taking
L!i.:ti* money without having any litio
t ? the property fbus s >ld them, and
w.ijj. fj,qr.erilly asked, notghini*
