lion of lands held by the government tl
in the county. We hope the asked for ^
cxtention will be refused by Congress, d
We certainly shall use every effort to j*.
prevent any cxtention. Iu place of it ir
we shall urge the commissioner to give t|
the whole subject of the direct tax sales h
and the consequent complications a
little more of his attention.. cl
Our people have been looking for- ^
ward to the expiration of the two years J
fixed by the act with great pleasure. Jj
The occupancy of lands and town p
property by the United States has |
been an unmitigated nuisance. Espe- r
dally has thus been so in the town. "
The houses have fallen from one stage e
of dilapidation to another until they ?
have become dangerous to the health, n
lives and property ofour citizens. No 11
improvements can be made upon ad- r
joining property because of the filthy jj
condition of the government ruins, the ?
disgusting character of their inhabitants
and the danger from fire. Insurance
is increased in cost to neighboring
properties and in some instances
refused at any price. When the prop- (
erty is rented no sanitary regulations c
can be enforced by the town. The 1
e
outhouses and yards may be ever so j
filthy but of they are cleaned it must t
be at the expense of the town. f
No improvemeut is possible until 8
the United States divests itself abso- 1
lately of this property. Every inter- j
est in the community suffers by a long f
cr continuance of the occupancy of the c
general government, and every inter- ^
est will be, we hope, exerted to bring a
it to a speedy termination. c
The difficulties in the way of rcdemp r
tion are mainly those which would disappear
before an earnest desire to sur- *
tViom Tf tViA business was aiv- o
U1VUUV vuvuu. * ? w
en to the bands of a man who wished
tn ?p<>pdily wAttlo it instead, of folnp
left to the cliarge of clerks who go ^
about it in the regulation style of a
Washington bureaus, learned in the 's
modes 14 How not to do it, " the time (J
is ample to return to the former owners
every piece of property to which c
any claim will ever be made. There is 1
much of it so cut up that it is valuable f,
to no one. If the time was extended
for fifty years there would still remain j(
enough for clei ks and officials to cor- 0
respond about and draw salaries for.
Let the books aud records be sent ci
here. Let the orders be to aid and not ^
retard the woik of redemption. Let t!
the act of congress be obeyed in the "
spirit in which it was passed, instead (]
of the modes of the Circumlocution ?1
office. If the woik cauuot be done as w
contemplated by the act, iustcad of
asking for more lime, let a new act be *
passed simplifying and providing for a ir
mnrft sneedv method. Above all, let

Congressional. 1'
The rcdistrictiDg of the state for the ^
congressional election of next fall will j
be one of the most lively subjects of C
discussion this winter in Columbia.
We have five congressmen but only
four districts at present which obliges ^1
us to have one congressman at-largc. |c
This is a very unsatisfactory arrangernent
to all parties, as the congressman q<
t at large has no constituency to whose o|
special interest he can be attentive. U
He has no inlluenco at Washington tl
and cannot secure an appointment
without incurring the opposition of tl
some one with a district. The Sena- *']
tors will not allow him to interfere
with their patronage, and the position
becomes merely ornamental. tl
We hear that an elfort will be made
to change our district by the uniou of h;
Beaufort with Barnwell, Edgefield, j"
Aiken and I^incaster. Candidates are w
already beginning to lay the wires. lr
Every county will have one, if not m
more, who are willing to go to Wash. *
iogton. Here Gen. Smalls and Lieut, to
Gov. G leaves are said to be in the Geld.

The News and Moses.
For some weeks tie readers of the
rarleston News have observed a coolss
in its tone when speaking of our
young native governor " and his adinistrntion.
This coolness has now
issed into positive attack. Its article
jaded "Face the music "in another
lurnn, only repeats the arguments
hich wc have been using for months
ist in the Republican. We are glad
see that circumstances have occurred
hich may permanently secure the scrviis'of
the Neics in aid of that course.
The News also calls attention to the
largcs made by the Colleton Gazette
rainst Moses, It says :
The Colleton Gazette a radical newsapcr,
of which Mr. G. F. Mclntyre,
tate senator from Colleton, is editor
id proprietor, has printed from week
> week, for several months past, a scries
f charges of the gravest kiud against
ic public and private character of the
rovcrnor oi'this State. * These charges
re strikingly circumstantial, and names,
atca and i.mount are given with what
[ pears to In. a studied carefulness to
?y nothing that cannot l>e sustained by
rcfragable proof.
It was not our purpose to notice* at
lis time, the onslaughts of the Gazette,
ut the statements made about Governor
loses, in the last issue, are so revolting
s (o demand instant attontjon. Jiie
barges are too foul to be even hmted
t; but tills we may say : If the Colletn
Gazette tells the truth, Governor F.
. Moses, Jr., is the most infamous of
ublie men ; and if the Colleton Gazette
oes not tell the truth, its editor.and
iroprietor richly deserves a long term in
lie State penitentiary. It is not for us
o say whether Mc In tyre or Moses is the
eal criminal. "We know nothing more
bout this thing than we see printed in
he columns of the Gazette. But it is
vident that Governor Moses caunot
fiord to remain silent. Only his worst
ncmies would advise him to keep his
aouth shut in the face of charges
nfinitcly more heinous than those which,
fter months of proud reserve, forced a
nan like Henry Ward Bcecher to a pubic
and peremptory denial of their truth.
Governor Moses must speak, or be condemned
by default. The alternative is
lot a plcasaut one; but there it is, aud
rom it there is no escape.
A Freight Road.
Parties in Chicago and New Yorl
?ity, in view of the fact that trade wil
ventuaUy be largely diverted from tlios<
loifits because tlioy are not on the short
st and cheapest line of commanicatioi
letwcen producers and consumers, ar<
naking an effort to save themselves, ai
ar as possible, by the construction of i
trictly fi eight road between the tw<
>oints. A writer to the Chicago Tribum
rho claims to have been one of the orig-1
lava /lntrn flu
liaiurs Ol l"tO JUV/JWV, IUJU WV..U v..,
ollowing as his plan for the constructiot
if such a Road:
First?Build a three track road fron
Chicago to New York, and as near ly or
n air-line as possible: I thiuk the rone
ould be run inside of 800 miles. Build
.11 iron bridges. Never cress any raiload;
build under or over in all cases.
Second?Build, or cause to be built,
ieight cars especially adapted for- the
oad and its business. Never run a cai
f any other line of road over this road;
icither allow one of the cars of this road
ver any other.
Third?Run freight ears on two of th?
rack at a speed ?f s'x milesan hoyr.
TTTs mte of frpecd causes "buFirttle'wear
nd tear, and forms the time table thai
> required.
Fourth?Run cattle trains on the third
rack East; to be returned light, or
>aded on the up-freight track. The
attic-train would run on a time t;*blc,
nd at a speed of 12 or 15 miles.
Fifth ?Under a speed of six miles,
eight would be carried to New York
ooner than it now is, and more reliable,
'rains could be loaded and sent forward
ist a#s vessels are loaded and towed out
('your harbor.
Si^th?Chicago wants no more road.'
)r passengers, but she must have inreused
facilities for getting rid of the
ust amount of produce that she is now
jceiving, without taking into account
ic great increase she will get within a
j w years.
Seventh?Chicago must boar in mind
lat there are other places that have an
vc to the vast trade she is now getting,
l-'.a. n,o li.ilf xvli*it ?)ifi will tinv/
itliin the next live years, if retained.
Kigli h?New York City must join
'hicago in this matter, else she will find
mic of the cities on the seaboard seekig
this very trade.
Ninth?The business men and capitalits
oi both cities must join hands in
lis enterprise, and keep .speculative and
iilroa-1 ring men out. There must be
o stealing or manipulating, as iu very
lany case- which 1 know.
Tenth?The cost of this road, ready
>r the equipments, will be about as
illows:
JO miles, three track road, say
about $70,000 per mile,is..$oO,000,000
loeouiot i ves 1 o,000,000
ars 14,000,000
SM),uoo,oo0
In addition to the above, vcrv large
icilities must be piovidcd at ('hicago
ad Jersey City for the loading and unlading
ol ears?such as grain-elevators
"d warehouses. I should hay these
'ould cost, including land, about $0,000,
KJ. Equipments and facilities nuut
P necessity be very large on this road,
t handle the immense business.
Eleventh?There is very great want of
ie right kind of facilities lor the transudations
of live stock to New York,
his road will be able to offer facilities in
ie way of cars especially adapted to the
irrying of stock, far superior to anyling
now in use,
Twelfth?In regard to the earnings of
lis road. I have no doubt it will prove a
per cent, stock. Freight pays better
lan passengers. New York k Erie
iruetl in one year 817,500,000 ; 83,500.

rvc said, and repeat it again, that, in
ly opinion, tlio New York & Erie never
jccivod for through passengers but
hat it cost them $2 to procure and
ansjtort them.
It is passenger trains, running 25 to 50
iles an hour, that tear a road to pieces,
hile freight trains, at a speed of six
iles, cause but a very slight wear and
ar.
Finally, a road built, equipped, and
:u as above stated, will compete socssfully
with the water c&mmuuication
iriug "the warm months of flic year, and
cd not charge extra in tho winter
onths ; and will relieve Chicago every
y of her vast receipts of produce
id live stock.

(From the Clnrleston News.)
The Greenville Republican, which ap
pears to have been promoted to the hon
orable post of bulogist-in-chicf ant
Whitcwasher-in-Ordinary in the house
hold of Mr. Attorney general Melton
offers this advice to the citizens who havt
made an attack upon the fraudulent stan
bonds:
If the "taxpayers and bondholders'
who are so anxious about the payment o
interest on fraudulent bonds are really ii
earnest, wc would suggest to them a w.-o
by which they can do something whicl
would result in more than mere talk', an<
that is cause the prosecution of the met
who have issued the fraudulent bonds
if there are any such. This wouli
not be a difficult task, and wc shouli
then tee whether the state has bcci
swindled by its own officers. The prose
l cution aud conviction of one person con
I cerncd in the issue of fraudulent bond
would be worth more to the state and t<
] the taxpayers, as well as the holders o
, bonds untainted with fraud, than all tin
l speeches oTno matter how emiuent law
: years to a court from which they a .1
nothing. Have they the desire or tin
spirit or the. public spirit, to undertak
such a ta k ?'
Wc copcur with the Republican in Say
ing that "the prosecution and convictio
of one person concerned in the issue c
fraudulent bonds," would be worth mor
than any number of speeches. The "tax
payors and bondholders,' about whoi
our contemporary is so anxious, do wea
something more than "mere talk," as i
proved by their prompt application lo
' an injunction to restrain the payment c
interest upon the so-called convcrsio
bonds. Their first independent step wa
to set about proving that those bond
were issued in violation of law.
When that is accomplished, they c
the plundered bondholders can pursu
the officials who arc shown to have cot
trived and completed the swindle. ]
would answer as well to begin by pr<
secuting the officials, instead of by in
pugnmg the validity of the bonds, bt
the only person who can effectually d
that is Mr. Attorney General Mcltc
[ hhnsclf.IJThat official knows that tl
. Conversion bonds, to the extent i
, 87,191,700, are fraudulent, because th:
fact is formally alleged by iiiui, as couns
i for Comptroller Hoge, in the answer i
I the potitiou in Mandamus of Morto

persons who are responsible for whatcv
frauds have been committed. They a

; Radical connected with the present a
ministration who is not suspected
) having had a finger in the bond fraud
, The information upon' which to found
prosecution is in his possession. M
5 arc assured by the IfcpuLlican that,
i the whole affair of the bonds, he h
) shown "a pluck and "sf lfrcspect * * *
c which are creditable to him, "and mi
be useful to political opponents "her
after.*' The i>eople of the State kne
3 that it is his duty, his plain sworn dut
i to prosecute officials whom lie bcliev
to have violated the law. In his case
is not needful to speak of "public spirit
1 He is bound, by his oath of office, to <
! what ""taxpayers and bondholders" en
not as thoroughly and promptly do. T1
Republican assuros^us that it would" n
be "a difficult task'1 to see whether tl
State has been swindled bv its ov
i officers, and one conviction would <

keep it clean, than even the precept ar
example of the Attorney Genera', a-sis
1 ed and sustained by the immueulu
reputation of the Trcamrer and Coni]

The Republican's final'question u
"answer by asking one: Has it the dosii
; or public spirit to call upon Mr. Mclti
to do liis duty; or docs it rely, for tl

THE SPORTS OF OTHER DAYS.
Far in the west, where sunset's parting bee in

A statesman skilled new commonwealths to rear,

- What arms had won, hia eloquence secured;
$ With stern resolve his country to defend,
He spurned the arrogance of foe and friend;
War crowned him with the laurels of the brave,

exhibition, looking at it from various 8t
positions, arid when it was over with he ly
was put in a sheet by the neighbors, and ^
saturated with oil, and then covered with
molasses and flour. We learn that new
skin is already forming on parts of him, "
and if no unfavorable symptoms set in lie hi

not likely he will mingle much in society jr
until his hair and eyebrows commence to .
grow. He thinks Wickford's hoy is
dead, and they dare not tell him to the 81
coutrary until he gets stronger. Singu- a!
larly enough, Mrs. O'Clarance escaped
injury by burns, but the blow on her ,
head was so severe that she cannot hear
to have her back hnir drawn up as high 8'
as it was before, and missing her church n
privileges is a sore trial to her. ?
A pretty boy in Billtown became so intiruatc
with one of his father's horses
that he received a bad kick in the face. ^
The doctor sewed up his lip, bandaged
his eyes, and poulticed his checks. After
a few days spent in bed. the lad called a
for a looking-glass. One glance was v
sufficient. "Fathers, " he mildly cried, n
" do you think I shall ever be as pretty
again? " "No, my son, " responded the
Governor, " you'li never bo as pretty
apfain/but you '11 know a darned sight j
more *' Knowledge is costly in this- "
world, but that which is kicked lDto us is
f not apt to be the least valnablc.
?Tito young lady who refused to go '
