The Largest Bouar Fide Circulation.
THP KEDOTPTFON OF lT. S. TAX
LANDS.
We are reluctantly obliged to con Fees
that there see me to be ^ disposition to
delay and' hinder the operation of the
of the act of congress for the redemption
of the lands held by the United
States under the tax titles. More than
?year has passed since the act was
approved, and only one piece of property
has been redeemed, and that was
taken out of the regular course by
Commissioner Douglass, through the
the exertions and influence of a resident
of Washington.
Of the cases of application to pay up
the balance due under the army and
navy salsa, which are by no means of
a complicated nature, not a case has
been decided. Money to the amount
of eight or ten thousand dollars has
been in the hands of the government
for six months to make the final payments
and the people have neither land
nor money.
The agent of the United SUtes here
is forbidden to give the slighest infor
mjwKxi; uaraiy any quest ion can be
replied to, and the government, instead
of acting as if anxious to be relieved of
a vexations and expensive burden,
seems to be nursing the job to keep it
warm.
This policy was pursued by the Direct
Tax commissioners, and we had hoped
that it would not be perpetuated. The
iudications are that we were mistaken.
We now call upon our senators and
representatives in congress, one and
all, to take this matter in charge. If
the present law is uot definite and easy
of execution, let another be prepared
for immediate passage by the next
congress, which Bhall put an end to
tho whole miserable business.
There are two parties equally interested
in a speedy settlement of the
matter. Those who purchased of the
government, including a thousand or
more of freedmen, who want the titles
settled ; and those whose property was
not sold but is held by the government
for taxes due.
Besides these the state town and
county are deprived of the revenue
from a large amount of real estate.
The last house of representatives
passed a bill to set aside the food
which accrued from the direct tax
sales, and now in the treasury,
amounting to over seven hundred
thousand dollars, for the purpose of in
damnifying the former owners and
nettling the titles of the new ones.
This shows the disposition of the representatives
of the people. Tho bill
was not reached in the senate, but it
would, doubtless, have been as favorably
a*te<l upon there. The same, or
a similar b'.Il will be presented early
in December. But if a like course is to
pursued in the event of the passage of
such a bill, as has characterized the
actioQ of the government on the redemption
act, it will have to be paid
to the heirs and assigns of those whose
pathway to the grave might be rendered
smoother by a little present jus
VAJ iruui t Lie ^vTvl U lUvU l>?
If official negligence, igDorance or
rapacity stand in the way of the execution
of the redemption act, we give
notice that no effort of ours, public or
private, will be spared to have the
hindrances speedily removed. We
know that Senator Pateraon is anxious
to act in this matter and we intend to
help him.
IS BONDS.
The best way to convince the holders
of convulsion bonds that the state
is not legally or morally bound to pay
them, is to arraign, try and convict
the parlies who, it is alleged, issued
the bonds without the authority or in
defiance ot the law. Certainly if there
is evidence enough of their fradulent
character to convince the: comntrollor
it ad attorney general thai the state is
not bound for them, then there ought
to t?c evidence enough to make a case
for the grand jury against thctinaucial
board of the late administration.
Ia our opinion, unless this is done,
the assertion of the nonliability of the
state assumes the character of a quibble,
such as Is often resorted to by dirli
meet debtors to avoid the payment
of their obligations. The liability of
the slate for the conversion bonds is a
question for the courts. It has not
yet been decided. It seems strangp,
however, to see Mr. Cardozo, whose
* seal is upon every one the bonds in
fj'i 'Siiou, joining with those who dou
jui.ee t^vai ai a fraulaud a swindle.
MORE FIT CERTIFICATES. v
Tn It podsiMe thai the pay certificate ^
swindle survives the exposures of the (
late campaign ? Oar hope was that
our governor had a patent on it
The following extract from the
Greenville B^ublican would seem to f
prove that either his patent has been ^
infringed upon or he has sold out his f
right to new men. ^
During the trial ot Allen, county .
treasurer of Greenville, a paper was 1
presented to the treasurer which be- f
longed to the distinguished class t
known as "pay ceruncaies/'auaurawu ,
in favor of IIod. S. A. Swails, state ,
senator from Williamsburg, and presi
dent pro tem. of the senate. It bad
been purchased on the market aod was :
claimed to be bona fide. The treasu
rer said on inspection of it, that it was ,
genuine but not bona fide. lie was '
pressed by Mr. District Attorney Cor- '
bin to give his reason for the latter 1
portion of his opiuion, and he did. He c
said he had senator Swail's receipt for
bis salary, also for bis allowance as
president pro tern, of the senate, and
that this pay certificate was given for
"sundries"?a convenient term for i
8 win die. ;
The pay certificate was signed by ,
our townsman Lt. Gov. Glcaves. We j
know that Mr. Gleaves assumed hie po- ]
sition as president of the senate with |
the firmly expressed intention of re. (
forming such abuses. We would be sor- |
ry to believe that he had so soon fal'en ,
into the bad ways of his predecessors.
Will ho explain what "sundries" Mr.
Swails furnished to the senate, and tell <
us bow many other certificates were issued
for "sundries." *
Mr. Cardozo declares this particular <
certificate to be "Dot bona fide," which I
is drawing it mil^ for "a swindle." 1
Can any one inform us also bow many
of such "not boDafide*' papers 1
were issued by the speaker of the 1
house. '
<
A NATIONAL BANK.. 1
<
Beaufort offers as great opportuni- (
ties for profit in the banking business ,
?nr (nwn in th? ntntp In fftcL DOW
that the Freedman's batik has ceased .
'o discount commercial paper, a nation- <
al bank is a positive necessity. One i
with a capital ofbne hundred thousand
dollars would find profitable employ- *
ment for every dollar of it The present
system of taking deposits and sending
them to Washington for invest- I
ment is a great detriment to our com- '
munity. It is drawing money from a ,
place where it is scarce to place it where |
capital is plenty. Millions of dollars 1
have thus left the south, where it was 1
so much needed, to add to the abun
dant capital of the north. It is time it (
was stopped. A national bank could I
add a savings feature to its business and j
could, doubtless, soon attract that ,
class of depositors, whose money would '
thus be retained here to aid them in .
earning more. 1
The movement of the sea island cot- j
ton crop on these islands, apd the large
lumber trade of the Fort Itoyal rail- I
road absolutely demand that we make 1
a strenuous effort to secure the estub- '
lishment of an institution which will t
offer business accommodations. The t
present one woiks all on one side. '
Questions for the Union-Herald. J
If the Mortion Bliss & Co., bonds are *
fraudulent are the meu who issued them '
guilty of a crime ?
If the bonds arc not a valid claim f
against the state because they were issu- ?
ed without authority of law or in dcOaucc 1
of it, then arc the officers who conposcd |
thp finnn.'ial hoard at that time rruiltv of <
malfeasance iu office? 1
Is there any law under which a man
way be indicted for the commission of a
fraud ? t
Can a man be indicted for inalicasaucc
in office ? I
If yes, whose duty is it to make a ease ?
against such offenders. ?
The Abbeville Convention.
We call special attention to a notice
given in another column of an effort to ^
have Beaufort county represented in a ^
convention to be hel 1 on August 13th, at t
Abbeville, to forward the construction of
a railroad from Anderson to connect with t
the I'ort ltoynl railroad.
We arc deeply interested in this move
went. We agree with the views ex- (
pressed by the Edgefield A deer titer,
published in another column, that this (
road is certain to be built, but we arc not
sure that our interests will be considered c
unless we actively aid it from the begin- 1
ning to the end. A strong delegation J
should be selected and sent to Abbeville r
on the 13th of August. We ought to he n
able to pledge a liberal subscription to c
the stock of such a road. It will uot do *
for us to sit dow content with possessing [
the only good harbor on the coast, and t
let the people of the country find it out ^
for themselves. We have what the '
West need?, an outlet for her grain and (|
meat, the deepest, the safest, the nearest e
possible. But we must lose no opportu- )
nity fur advertising it. True, it is certain !
to be utilized somefinie whether we woik f
or not. Butifwcdont want to be too o
old to enjoy the benefits we must improve k
the present time. ?

Another Ureal Lumber Business.
We have learned the following partie- *
( ulars of an enterprise which is, wc liojtc, ^
destined to add immensely to the wealth h
of Beaufort county. IF. B. Boddington |
& Co., lumber dealers of Liverpool, Kug* |
land, have purchased a large body of 1
land lying in the south west rn part of ?
the eonnty, between (Irahamville and the 0
headquarters of the Colleton riven o
amounting to fifteccn thousand acres. 6
This tract is described as being of the j
very best timber laud. In order to tran- a
s]>ort it the company design digging a !<
canal which, when completed, will le *
seventeen miles long, extending from the
bavuunali liver, near listers ferty to the ji
L.a b| tarter.- of the Colleton. Mow river t
rill also famish a part of the water for
he e?nal. It is to have an average
lepth of four feet, and width at base of ,
en feet; four locks aro necessary; the ;
xpcctatiou is that a current can be obained
of two miles or more an hour..
In this way the logs are to be brought
o Foot Point, where a large mill is to
>e erected of a capacity of thirty thousand
bet per day. The product will be shipped
rom Port Royal harbor direct to Boddngton
& Co., yards in Liverpool. Our
Viend W. J. Kirk, has been employed to
nake the prclimiuary surveys for the
anal and is now at work on the line.
iVe hope soon to hear from hira in re.
rard to the character and capabilities of
he country through which it passes.
Fifty thousand'dollars havo been placed
n the h nds af Sin ininton Barker, k
?fo., of Charleston, as a guarantee by the
Sngli<h company. 0. P. Law is in
:harge of their interests at Crnharaville.
The Railroad Convention.
The citizens of Beaufort county arc
nvited to meet at the Sea Island Hotel
n Ttonnfrtrf nri Knlf,a<lnv in Aucust for
he purpose of ehosing delegates to a
proposed convention, in Abbeville, Aug.
13, of friends of a railroad from Chicago,
to Port Royal, via the Blue Ridge, Anderson,
Abbeville and Edgefield to conicct
with the Port Royal railroad at or
lear Augusta.
I5a?* The mandamus against the
:onnty commissioners was heard on
Wednesday, the 16th, before Judge
Muher, at Barnwell. We have not heard
the result. W. J. Vcnlier, Esq., represents
Mr. Collins, while the commissioners
have eugaged James W.
Moore, Esq. We canuot sec the necessity
for putting tho county to two hundred
ind fifty dollars expense for extra
legal services. The solicitor, as we understand
it, is paid by the state to" act
Tor the counties iu such suits. Of
course, he may, at times, need assistance,
but this is a very simple matter
ind would probably be decidod by Judge
Maher just as well without an argument
is with one. At any rate the solicitor
lid not ask for additional counsel. It is
said that ho was not eveu consulted.

rHE RAILROAD CONTENTION IN
ABBEYILLE.
Six weeks or two months ago, our esecmcd
contemporary, the Beaufort
Republican, pr posed that the citizens of
Beaufort, Barnwell, Kdjofield, Abbovilc
ind Anderson should unite in holding a
ailroad convention at Abbeville court
louse, in behalf of the contemplated
oute between Chicago aud the Seaboard
)f our State. In seconding and upholdng
this proposition, we nnpied the J 3th
)f August as a wise aud available day for
;hc meeting of such a convention, and
)ur friends of Anderson and Abbeville
Iiuving adopted our suarire.ition, the conivntion
will assembled at the said time.
The Anderson Intelligencer and the
\bbevillc Press d- Banner cordially
ipprovcd the meeting and pledge the
;aruest co-operation of their people in
:hc enterprise.
In another column will be found a call
:o tho people of our own county to asleuible
in our court house on salesday
lext, for the purpose of choosing delegates
to this convention?a call which
ihould set the citizens oi' Edgefield to
hinking very seriously. As regards the
lltiiuate and even speedy conip'etion of
the great railroad line iu contemplation,
here can be very little doubt; but as
egards Edgefield being embraced in the
said line, there is no such certainty.
Such a glorious consummation must deicnd
upon Edgefield's energy, enterprise
ind liberality. Therefore let us meet in
ull force in response to this call, and
icud to Abbeville men strong in intellect,
n speech, in will iu spirit of enterprise,
ind in love of their native section. And
et these men fight for Edgefield, nnd be
impowered to pledge Edgefield's hand,
icart, and money !
WoiDust not allow this grand rond to
jc completed and Edgefield to be left
>ut. If we do we sink into cterual staguaion
nnd insignificance.
And in conclusion, let us warn our
icople that if ice do not build our own
tort ion of this line, no one civ. will iirobl'tly
build it for Us.?Edgefield Aucertier.
The Cholera.
The supposition that cholera follows
vator courses has no foundation in cither
eiencc or experience. Water is a great
luinfcctant. Its presence purifies both
inrth and air. Its presence may hasten
he decomposition of foreign matter, and
hus generate miasma. This miasmatic
nflueiice is, liowcvcr, greater in staglant
water thau in running streams. The
bscncc of water and consequent filth
vrovokes cholera.
I?ut when epidemics break out in a
oiumunity the timid frequently fly from
heir homes, following, of course, the
isual thoroughfares of travel, which fccbrc
the introduction of railroads were
icirly always the valleys of streams; nnd,
ilthough cholera is not an infectious disuse,
yet when it become* epidemic those

everything cJcan and tidy, to live tew*

all excesses of every kind, is to invito

The Laws ?f Domestic Storms. *
Whilst scientific men are very laudably
devoting themselves to the study of
storaw iu general, we propose investiga- ^
tjng that particular branch of the subject ^
which- w applicable to every-day life; for ,j
a Knowledge of the theory and causes of g^
domestic storms must be useful to all ^
classes of the community.
It was on contemplating the ruin '
caused by a domestic hurricane, in the j
midst of China, that the writer first con- nut
coived the idea of giving his head to a W.
subject about which his head had been ver;
broken more than onc6, though he had
never before thought ofcollecting together
the results of his experience. He had I
observed 'that the various domestic Jjj^
<torms lie had encountered, as mate of a |y jr
very troublesome craft, though some- sou
times sudden and furious, had generally ?8 '
s tme determined cause, and frequently
took the same direction, by concentrating pre
towards himself all their violence. He con
resolved, therefore, on keeping a log, or
journal, it. which he noted down, from
hour to hour, the state of the craft to |y |
h* n? mate?with the nom- we
inal rank of commander. He described naI
her condition nnder a slight l^jeeze, her
behavior in rough water; the effect produced
upon her by nil sorts of airs; and,
in fact, he collected such information,
that he thought any iudicious mate,
attached to a similar craft, would find littic
difficulty in her management. het
One of the curiosities of this domestic Pn
experience, is the fact, that the same
hurricanes prevail at about the same no
periods of the year; and it is remarkable
that though the wind bccius to be raised by
with immense difficulty about Christmas av<
tiuie, domestic storms are most prevalent ma
at that period. ;
These storms are not felt to operate
severely on those who are provided with an
a heavy balance, which prevents the
agitating influence of those fearful ups tot
and downs which are met with at the ,%u
time alluded to.
Those who arc protected by the shelter Pf
of a bank are comparatively safe in these jJJj
stonus; though the less substantial crafti on
unable to meet an unusually heavy draft, an
will frequently be found incapable of loc
keeping the head above water.
It is a singular fa*t, that domestic' ^
like other storms, prevail in circles; and.
indeed, there is no circle in which they
are not to he found ; for they visit the
family circle, the higher circles, and tho
lower circles, with almost equal regularity.

to a master having the charge of one of
the weaker vessels, for it enables lmn to
perceive the storm coming on, and to pass
out of it. A domestic storm is generally M<
preceded by a great deal of puffing am Mm
blowing, which leads more or less giad- t|l(
mlly to a regular blow-up; and the craft del
will frequently begin to heave in evendirection.
Some master.* rndraror t? ^!'

often doubles, without subduing, its vio- C.
l"iice. The damage done during a doui*
cstie storm of this nature is always very
great, and a faruilv wreck is not uu- ^
frequently the sad consequence. tor
The approach of a domestic storm is In*
indicated iu many ways. Some masters 1>0
(so-called) are quick at noting these signs, ,na
while otlmrs are overwhelmed with the tcc
blast, before they suspect even its ap- Ina
proach. When the craft is one of the
light, trim, fast clippers, her top rigging PI
will be drawn tight; au icy look will appear
about the cut of her jib; there
will be a sharp, jerky motion communica" ho
ted to all objects tn board the craft ; the ^
brecre, at first, will be comparatively
gentle, but go ou gradually rising in force
until the hurricane breaks with fury qn
upon the heads of all aboard. Sometimes
it is commenced by an agitation of the ***

The numerous different airs that prevail,
and form, us it were, the elements
of a domestic storm, would form a long
and b.mentablc chapter of themselves i
hut wc give the heads of a few of the
principal. Sometimes a storm begins
with trifling airs, but these often increase T
suddenly to a squall of the most alarming ln '
character. Sometimes a storm commen- glp
