WHAT 5 THK MATTER. . ' ' The News recently treated us to two columns of denial that anything hut tire purest motives actuated it in its course during the late campaign. The story would do for * t . 1 1 "1 . the marine*, but on (try iana, ir is too thin . But the fact that such an artic'o was deemed necessary shows that there is a screw loose j'n its connection with the?adminis- [ tration. Since then there have appeared several articles showing a desire to get back into the ranks of* the conservatives. On Saturday, it inquires whether the ''Gume is worth the candle," and points out the fact that the i grand total of the legislative expenses for^the last session was #861,267, exclusive of ?626.000 for the printing. Before the war the legislature cost ?40,000 per session. The News continues: I "The difference between that sum an 1 $861,267 represents the difference between the le^'ib ieanbm of 1S60 and tlie mcbocraoy of 1 ^72. Tn the General As- j seniblv of 1*71-72 th m-c were '.VI >enators ' and 124 representatives. The length of i *he session was ahout ninety days. The pay of the ineiuhe^ was six do'lars a day, and twenty cents mileage. The pay of each meinl er was therefore, S">10. Adding thereto for three hundred miles, $f)0,-the entire e"st of each member should have l?een 8 >(H?, and the entire eo-t of the session for pay and iuill 'gc. jhould have been i. The difference between this sum an 1 the ss>'?l,2<)7, actually paid or due, represents the arrears of some previous session, the cost of i attaches and the miscellaneous stealing. . What State can beat this? ]*Yom no State, in proportion to its means, has a< much been stolen as from South Carolina." Call you this backing your v O * friends ? But who stole the greater portion ; of this $871,107. Th e men rc- ; sponsible for it arc those the Ni:ws assisted to place in the highest olfiof tho If General Smalls desires to honestly examine into the pay "crtificate business, and will obtain us access to the treasurer's books and vouchers, we will agree to prrvc that four hundred thousand dollars of this amount is a barefaced fraud. We will agree to fix the responsibility so plainly that there will be ! more than two or three to live at the expense of the state in General Strolbrand's jrranite vard, nor will O 7 they all be carpet-baggers. Does the News imagine that its native governor, its chivalrie attorney -general and its able secretary of the treasury will aid us in such an exposure THE SC'KOOfi ?>EFKTEN< V. I I Gov. Moses evidently made a bad guess when he said that the school deficiency wonld not be over $200,000. Mr! Ji ilso::, reports ilie money due on account of schools at not less than $d7o,000. Pome of the papers want to know why the poll tax is not collected. The answer is that the ma jority of that tax is payable by people wI:j> pay no other tax. Consequently there i* 110 way to gCi at them. Four-fifths of the amount received from poll taxes is paid hy t!:osc w!i? have it added to their real estate j tax. In this county it ought to produce at least $1 it does produce less than $2..;<hb It will - - _-n.. . .1..in. 1101 pil^y lO CUiiCOl ii nviu qUCTltS. The tax oughttobe abolished >r else the payment of it ought to be a condition precedent to the right to vote. Yvlien we learn the true theory of laying taxes we will put the whole tax 011 real estate, upon a r proper b;?<is of valuation. The whole tax can then 1 e collected and the burden will fall with exact equality on every person in the community. For 110 man, woman or child can escape it. Either directly, as a owner, or indirectly, as a renter, the tax will be paid. We venture the assertion that a poll tax has never been generally collected in any state and never will be until men are patriotic enough to like to pay that which they cannot be force.1 to pay. Innocent. Senator Patterson was arrested bj Deputy Marshal Hendricks by virtue o a warrant issued by Trial Justice Kirk. The Senate refused to confirm Kirk a; Trial Justice and he was snuffed out, while Hendricks was atjonce discharged from his position by Marshal Wallace. Now. Patterson, on Monday last, surrender: himself to Trial Justice Richmond grand high cockleorum of the I. 0. U R. lie is tried and found innocent. Ii is only necessary to catch the villains whe made affidavits against Patterson anc send them to prison to complete tli( picture of virtue triumphant. WHAT TO BUY A>"D WHERE TC BUY IT. P. M. Whitman, the horologist lias, \cry tempting cast of holiday goods. Rings, breastpins, shirt-studs, earrings, besides his watches, seals, guards, etc. These he sells as cheap as gold and silvei will lot him. If anyone wants to do the handsome thing by us we say don't gc any further. We will be suited with what you get from Whitman. Mayo lias lots of things suitable fo: presents. Penknives, pistols, tools, fi-li lines, nets, etc.. both useful and handsome, do to him for some good article in his line. Pr. II. 31. Stuart, at his handsome drug store, has a case full of pretty thing> for present... Vases, ornaments, perfumery, soaps, brushes, combs, etc.. etc., arc there, and anyone can he pleased. Mathiessen. nt the sign of the Cross Keys, is a< well known as the Free Landing. He lias almost every variety ol goods suitable to the season. They are remarkably cheap and good. There arc Bouts. Shoes, Gloves, Pry Goods, Clothing. etc., etc. John Cooper, the wide-awake dry coo;Is man, can supply almost anything in his line for Christmas presents. AVhat could be nicer than one of his handsome ribbons, a new hat, or a bonnet for wife, daughter or sweetheart. Pretty dress patterns, and dry goods of all descriptions are in his stock. Be sure to call there. Housekeepers who want to lay in a stock of nice things for the table for the holidays will naturally go (o Franz's. ITc has elegant groceries, hams, tongues, trackers, etc. No one can enjoy Christmas without being well fed. The materials are at Franz's. The fine store of J. Apple hardly need - mention here. * Everybody knows i?. '! Iimr dress goods. doves, carpets. oil clothe?, matting, rugs, etc., arc marked to suit the time. l/>t< of cloth* ing and hoots and shoes arc in their extensive stock. A lean larder is death to Christmas. Watrihouse lias everything to b nisli such a dreadful tiling at the very Invest prices and of the be t quality. A fine stnek of lamps will let light upon any subject, and are nice things for presents. James M. Crofut will sell von a pair of shoes for your lady, or boots for your gentleman. The little ones can also he shod at slaughter- prices. No matter how h?w your uio?iey may be he can tit you out with a present. Cloves at j cents; hoys suits, $2.00 men's pants for Sfl.tM, i^ so cheap that all can buy. James Odell will suit your appetite and fancy too. If you have a sweet tooth, and who has not, he can fill it with cakes, candies, fruits and pies. There there are the toys for children and fancy goods for older ones. Odell is certain to be patronized. Kres.-el has many things suitable foi the season. The finest stock of liquors obtainable, hams, tongues and provisiongenerally. (Iroecries, dry goods ami fancy goods. You can't do yourself justice without going to Kvessel. Ar Si-h^per's the house keeper can fill uj> his broken tea sets and crockery: select from a big stock of tin and irur ware, or buy from a fine stoek o. groeerie? and dry goods. ]>. lb Sams can ho'p you out wliei you're puzzled what to hoy. lie ha: plenty of thi ngs every one needs. \Y< will go bail for hi us that he suits you i: you calL la lies Jenkins, in YYilson s building. i> killing every ?Iay large, fat. rice-ia <. cattle, lie M'i.sin f. better than any ii town for lo cents, fir re s where to ge a good Christmas dinner.

The abolition of the fence law, roquir, ing owners of cattle to fence them in. instead of all other people to fence them s out is now agitated. We are in favor ol the abolition of the fence law, but wc want it if universal application and tc f 1 continue in force for at least twentv vear: i * * , i after its passage, banners should not | | be made subject to experiments in this . matter by our easily excited legislature. ? A Big Job of Bricklaying. ( ' Mr. Comfort, the contractor for buildj ing a brick wall around the national corn| cterv here has arrived. lie proposes to commence work very soon. The cstii mates are for nearly one million of brick. 1 The wall will be four feet high, to enclose I about twenty-eight acres of ground. Ar i rnngements are in progress to have the , whole of the bricks neede d, manufactur ' 1 ed at Wilder & Crofut's vard on this is1 | land. &2T" L. S. Langley, our new auditor, i I has resigned the position of trial justice i to which he was recently appointed. Judge Orr resigns his place as , ! judge to acce; t the mi.-sion to Russia. . lie wiil sail in January. fetr Ih*. II. Jones, colored, will bo. we hear, appointed quarantine officer at this port, in place of J)r. S. B. Thompson. We were misinformed as to the s sailing of the Farm gut lask week. She , ; sailed from Boston on the 11th and will , i probably leave New Yo;k on the 20th. Ijfi?* Wood is scarce and dear. Foi ; lobloll pine $1.50 and for water oak, crooked at that, 81.25. We think money could be made by bringing it in on the railroad. Any organized system would reduce the price and increase the profits. Kingman lias added a handsdmc ' | barber s]?oj? to his hotel, with all the modern conveniences and luxuries. It1 presiding genus fits it almost to a T by name and to a TV by education and dis; timruished manners. ???? Carpet-baggers still seem to hold their own in scooj)ing in the offices. Patterson beats the deck for senator, and here in our county everything goes that 1 way: Holmes, for treasurer; Langley, | for auditor; and Jones, for quarantine ; officer. We have nothing to say again-t I it, of course, belonging to Gideon's band 1 ourselves, hut isn't it a little queer in view of the fact that Smalls, Moses, et. ah, made such a to do in the campaign about | our own people."

The for or in 1 ho height o their pa>.-ion charge their fellow patriot: 1 with dealing with the Monitorial questiot as purely a i u-iius> transaction. ( on sequcntlv many have exhibited a ven ; , pugilistic i>po.-iiion. (hi Thursday la>i this resulted in a copious >|?iiliu,rr of b!ou< 1 from one honorable tin tuber's nose During the argument of Mr. Mectz* ' upon the Tax IMi, W. M. Thomas, i 1 member from Colleton, and Thos. Ham ; ilton i'lom 1>can tort became engaged ii an altercation which from words sooi 4. changed to blows, which stopjied tin : consideration of the Tax and : scene ol dirciul confusion ensued. ?S>m< ' of (lie members made rapid progress i< . the door ; others of a more pugnacipu: 1 turn ot mind leaped over intervenes chairs and desks and joined in the melee 1 and for a time a severe and genera! en 1 gagemeut seemed imminent. This s however, was averted, and the beilicost members having been separated, and th< 4 \ v j gore that plentifully sprinkled the scene [ of action, wipe.i up, the member from Colleton arose to a privilege question, lie explained the circumstances that had led to the row, and intimated that "ten paces and an ounce of lead ' would set. t e the matter. After the retirement of Mr. Thomas, Mr. Samuel Green, a member from 1 Beaufort, arose and said, that he underf stood that insinuations were being made : that those members who voted for Col. , Patterson had been bribed ti do so. He defied any one to say so outside the bar ? of the house. Mr. Holmes moved that the gentle; man from Beaufort, 31 r. Hamilton, be brought before the bar of the House. Mr. Thompson moved to refer the .rl.r.lr. ki.Hqi. tn a cnr.r-i-.il millinitffiP. Mr. Hamilton arose to explain. He said that lie was talking to the member from Colleton in reference to the Tax Bill. when that honorable gentleman had said to him : "You needn't say anything, because the action of yon niggers .-hewed yesterday what you are fit for. I brought j . ! you an honest candidate, (Elliott,) and j instead of you voting lor him, you al- : , lowed yourselves to be bought out by : ; Patterson ; I mean dat you niggers sold j j yourselves."' This speech was more than I . | the member from Beaufort couid stand, i j and he forthwith proceeded to make un- ' j lawful assaults upon his compatriot. He was sorry only so far as lie had ! 1 transgressed the rules of the house, and to the house lie desired then and there j i to apologize. But he never would per- j 1 mit such an imputation to be cast upon ; j | him. NEWS ITEMS. ?L. S. Langlev was, on Friday, ap* t * , pointed auditor of Beaufort county, in ' ' place of W. M.
