Ever since reconstrutiion t'io subject of a division of our county has been di coased. In the cons itut: >s?a! convention of 1868 the project was introduced and every legislative session has .<een a r" vival of it. NYe have rcreon to think that a bill for the purpose .vil! : e intioduced at the next >e < ion. The desire for a division i< quite gener- j al in the up??er part of the county and their is very little opposition to it on the j islands. The following are some of the | main arguments in its Caver. The county is very large, both in area i and population. Its poliii :ii strong* h in the b'euate is di-proportionate to its size. The streams and swamps of the county * make it peculiarly difficult to t:avcl over it. The county seat is inconveniently j located for the people of the main land, j The great distances which white e und jurors have to travel increases the expenses of the county enormous!.". There are probably other reasons quite as potent, but these will suliico to sfjit the subject. Wo should be glad to hear ti e view- ef the people for end against thi> measure. \\ e have no doubt tiiat ?i , earnestly implied the legislature v. \ eouceed the division. We have h:aru Graham villi designated as the be.-t site ; lor the county seat of the new eourTy. One proposition is to cut off all but the islands'. The latter proposition ' would leave shout 2.y>0O inhabitants to | L'enufbrt county, givina the new county about JLOOO. * A Queer Taper. TheCollt-ton GuMle, owned by Geo. . F. Mclntyre, Rep ubiicau Senator from ? that county, has the folios ing, under ! the caption:?' Odious Truths." There can be no manner of d- uM ' that Moses is a self-confessed thief.'1 The editor proceeds then to ass n that his election is a lesser evil than the defeat and disorganization of the tegular Republican party, lie, further, admits that the worst men iu the party have been re-elected to higher p >sitious than the outs*they had but receutly disgraced. This naturally leads hiru to point out the f.tcl that the Col >rtd voters are responsible for this, and that I..J -- ,5 K.. iK,.i. ri t ?flp. thev W'iii be JUU^CU *J\ U K U 4 \ W W V .

Thus, after commending them for sticking by their pat iy, even if by doing so, they ekel '*a self confess*, d thief," he shows them that the ceitain result of their action w ifl be ultimate, ruiu to their race. lie is a queer fellow.

Dower Under the U. S. Tax Title. An interesting case of dower was ar gucd in the court of probate for thii couuty on the 17th inst. Our towns man Mr. J. U. Mayo occupies premisei in this town formerly owned by Mr Timothy If. Spann, deceased. Th< premises were sold for taxes in 1803 under the IT. S. Direct Tax Law. Tt< uidov of the deceased claims hei dower in the premises, notwithstand ipg the tax title. Fv>r the purpose c this action the title of either party wa< admitted to be valid. As dower, unce the protecting care of the commoi law. will follow any fee, no matter wh< is the purchaser, unless renounced b\ the widow, the question arose whetbi j the tax purchaser took the fee, with all Us incidents, of the former owDer or a new, independent and original fe< and title, discharged e^iirely of al connections with the old fee, and ever} tiling that per'ains to it. It wa: a' r ucd for the plaintiff that dower wa; a t'u von d nrivilece at common law, pro t? cu (1 with j^alousv; that inasmuch ai d wer was not a perfect right or title utitil after the death of the husband and inasmuch as the husband in thii CMse did not die until after the sale therefore the widow's right *t< dr.wer was not a prior incumbrance within the fourth section of the aci. In opposition it was argued that tk< tax being a charge upon the land, un dcr i he statute, and having no refer euce whatever to the owner of th< laud nor to the owner of any interes in the land, the land and every intern* thrrc-iu is taxed, and upon the deliu q*u my of payrneutof the taxoccurring under the statute, the land and ever interest therein bt comes forfeit to th< government, and that dower, even will the husband living, is tin interest o appreciable and tangible value, as ap peais from the importance given to ih< renonciation of dower by every con veyat.'ce. Ilence it would follow also that if only the personal interest ii the land of the old owner was taxei and sold, and that was all that passec to the tax purchaser, then the interes of every incumbrance, be he mort gagee, judgment crtditor, cestui qu trust, cestui que use, dowrcss or an; other, would escape taxation altogeth er. Judgment for defendant wiih cost An appeal to the Circuit court wil probably be taken. W. F. Colcock E>q., for demandant, A. S. Hitchcock E*q., for defendant. It is a new question and to us "s peculiarly interesting one, hence w< gave the above space to it. f?T We have received a letter frou our friend D. P.

Oq Monday afternoon, of last week, he went down in i he pilot boat No. 2. and boarded the wreck of the ship Energy, ashore off Hunting Island. The ship laid on a sand spit ten or twelve miles frort* shore, thirty miles north of the light ship. Dupong determined to stay on board, as he bad convinced himself that the ship might be floated, or at least a large part of her cargo saved. The other pilois were loathe to leave him on the wreck, as there were indi cations of an approaching storm. lit wn8, however, inflexible iQ his determination. On Tuesday the gale increased and Dupong asserts that the Energy floated off the spit and was carried almost into St. Helena channel. On Wednesday she broke in two Hi* provisions gave out ou Wednesday. During ihe gale Dupoug was lashed to the wreck; the waves broke over him constantly and almost stripped him of clothing. Ou Thursday Dupong was taken oft', having voluntarily incurred a peiil which most men would have idven ship aud cargo to have escaped from. ?ustsgfver*? The Martyrs.

On motion; Resolved, That a copy of I the above resolution be signed by the chairman; attested by clerk and forward ed to his Honor, Judge Maher. John Hunn, Chairman. 13. 13. Sams, Clerk. Messrs. Editors:?Above you have copies of two resolutions adopted by the board of county commissioners in regard to the ruling of our muvly appointed Judge for this district, the Hon. John J. Maher. Had his predecessors on the Bench of our county court, adopted the same ruling, we should not have created a county debt. There would have been saved at least. two thousand dollars per term of court Say twelve terms during the past four years, making the sum of twenty-four thousand dollars. And the county would have bet-n working on a cash basis all the time: thereby saving an additional tcu thousand dollars, in the reduced price ol contracts for county work. Thus by a rule of court, our county would have saved thirty-four thodsind doliaiS, which is the amount of the county debt at this time. We all know very wei! that it has actually taken every cent of the amount on the county assessment, collected by the Treasurer to pay the expanses of ou: courts. .So that ail.contracts for work I were made on a credit basis, much to the loos of the taxpayers. The late term of our court, cost the county less than two thousand dollars; against more than lour thousand dollar.for the term preceding it. The former rulings of our Judges must i have been in d?a :ce of law, if the ruing or' his Honor Judge M.fher is a correct one. In conclusion let us hope that hi> Honor -Johu J. Maher may i<?ng preside over the courts in this district. John* IK'nn, C. C. C. The ruling of Judge Maher referred to j by the county commissioners, is to the | effect that a witness can claim only one dollar and a half per day while detained at court, no matter how many cu-cs lm may be a witne-s in. This ruling also decreases the fees of the clerk, . heriii and solicitor. A Regular Cock Fight.?The Dower case in tbe probate C"Urt. StKVE.?A hotel t"h:g,-j>ph office early Monday morning.

'*ibWrv?* vxv?;^*itfrAawnj m^^ammmi?n n n mr$ LETTER TO TIIC CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA. Columbia, S. C., Oct. 21, 1872. For the information of the public aud for the purpose of warning the taxpayers of this State against a scheme which has been gotten up by certain State officials, by which certain men are to make a large amount of ' money by defrauding the people, I wish to address to you a few words. A little more than one year ago I was appointed to the position of Auditor of State, aud since th it time I have endeavored to do my duty in that connection to the best of my judgment. Ilovv far 1 have succeeded remains for i the people to decide. The (listaction, which, out of my regular couise of duties, I deennd it incumbent upon me to take, was the prev? ntion of the circulation of the. Blue Ridge scrip. This, I wits repeatedly told by the Governor, some one was going to do; but atter waiting until almost too late. 1 learned that the action of the Governor was simply f r ihe purpose of forcing John J. Patterson, the President of the com........ ?not, noptiiin / l.iinia wllif'h he I'iiuj, ,</ vvmaiu held against ibe road, in the shape ot a note of the company, which he procured io a way not likrly to add to the reputation of an honest man. Waiting, as I have hereto ore said, until almost too late, for some one to take this matter into the courts I finally instituted the ntcessary proceedings, with the sanction of ttie Governor. Afl? r prcCetdiugs had been commenced and the u.-unl necessary iuducemen's beeD offered his Excellency, an effort was made by himself and others interested, 10 induce me to withdraw the tuiif ? -0,000 in cash was offcrtd me by one. party the dav that the esse came into court; and an indirect, offer of ?25.000 .11 scrip was subs qu? ntly made by another party, in cise I w mid consent to withdraw the suit. This, I. of courst, refused; and the matter has been a bone of contention between us ever since. Antffirtwas nnJe so-m after the adjournment of t he Legislature, and c ?utiuued for some two or three months to induce me to levy a special- tax to pay the interest upon the entire bond?d debt ofthe$lale, legal aod illegal, 'o he co'h.cted imnn diat ly. This I lefused, a'though au inducement of ?20,000 in cash w s offered me. to tittit-r levy the tax or r. t<ign tcy pest tton for the purpose of allowing Dr. NVagle to make the levy; and, at the sacne time, 1 was informed that Gov Scott had promised Dr. ]ST' acle lo rem ?ve me, in case I refused to make th l' vy. 1 again declined to comply with the r wisms. Now, a second effort hat been made to t'<<ree me to levy a tax to pay the in?tr?8t upon the fraudulent debt of the tvaie. and to include a levy of three mills upon the dollar to redeem 84'>0 (KM) ?f the Blue K'dge scrip one quarter of the entire ii-sue?which has oy Ue.ci->i?m of his Honor Judge A. J. \Viliard, vf tile Supreme Court, been decidtd uucoiigr.iiulional and iuvalid. No v, while I deem it the duty of evj y gooo eisizen to pay a'l just and lawIu. taxes, I d ? o?u, eons der it Irs duty to pay very tax thai may he irnp??, d by unset upub.-u? men, wb . chance t'? be in power. N ?r do I consider it the duty of any ? flicer who through tltrf foice ot circumstances h'ppens t-> be the appointee of such rn ii, 10 blind y follow iheir dictation, wt.hout regard to light or wrong. So thinking, arid acting a- 1 consider it the duty ot a good ?.flice.r and an honest man. I hav^ agaiu refused to comp v with thtir wi-.hes; and I have this d ly received au order removing me fr -m ?ffi:e. l> is out just to myself to add. liiat I wasintoilued by hie Excel1 oey ' hi Governor that I might rttuin tne uili:*e. provitii d 1 wuuid make the I vy. Ilis Exet-ibucy, while insisting ; noon the levy of these taxes, informed ine that he ku'-w the money, if 0 Beettd. would not be applied to the purpose for w ?ich it was levied, but that t .at was 1.one ot <?ur business; that it w s our duty to levy the tax; and he based h?s argument upon the ground thai many outstanding claims w- re j Uiiw lu Id agauist tht State, (of which 1 h is 1 he possessor to the amount of 610 000, as be himself informed me.) and that the Treasurer would have no | funds to pay tin m. His only otbtr i argument was that he had publicly pYd^ed bis word to Henry Clews & | Co?that the tax would be levied, and that, ehi'Uhl it tn?t be, he would stand b-ftue the people iu the light of incou, ainlt-ucy.
