It is saitl that* more time is to bo
asked for in which to carry out the :,i
provisions of the act for the redemp- o!
lion of lands held by the government 'j
in the county. We hope the asked for ..
cxtention will be refused by Congress, d
We certainly shall use every effort to *
prevent any cxtention. In place of it ii
we shall urge the commissioner to give t|
the whole subjectof the direct tax sales l>
and the consequent complications a '
little more of his attention.. c
Our people have been looking for- ^
ward to the expiration of the two years J
fixed by the act with great pleasure. (!j
The occupancy of lands and town p
property by the Uuitcd States has *
been an unmitigated nuisance. Espe- r
cially has thus been so in the town. "|l
The houses have fallen from one stage e
of dilapidation to another until they ?
have become dangerous to the health, r
lives and property of our citizens. No 1
improvements can be made upon ad- r
joining property because of the filthy '
condit'm of the government ruins, the
disgusting character of their inhabi- J
tants 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
c
outhouses and yards may be ever so j
filthy but of they are cleaned it must j
be at the expense of the town. f
No improveraeut is possible until s
the United States divests itself abso- '
lutely 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, wc hope, exerted to bring ?,
it to a speedy termination. c
The difficulties in the way of rcdenip r
lion are mainly those which would disappear
before an earnest desire to sur- J,
mount them. If the business was giv- c
en to the hands of a man who wished ('
to speedily. settle it instead of being
left to the charge of clerks who go ^
about it in the regulation style of ;1
Washington bureaus, learned in the
modes "How not to do it, " the lime
is ample to return to the former own- j j,
crs every piece of property to which jL*
any claim will ever be made. There is '
much of it so cut up that it is valuable f,
to no one. If the time was extended
far fifty years there would still remain j",
enough for cleiks and oflicials to cor- "
respond about aud draw salaries for. jj
Let the books aud records be sent e
here. Let the orders be to aid and not *
retard the work of redemption. Let tl
the act of congress be obeyed in the '
spirit in which it was passed, instead j]
of the modes of the Circumlocution 0
oflke. If the work eauuot be done as w
coutemplated by the act, iustcad of
asking for more time, let a new act l>c *
passed simplifying and providing for a n
more speedy method. Above all, let .
us have asettlemout,aud lctthel'nitcd t|

Congressional.
i "
The rcdistricting of the state for the S
congressional election of next fall wiil j
be one of the most lively subjects of C
discussion this winter in Columbia.
Wp lmvr. five congressmen but only
four districts at present which obliges ^
us to have oue congressman at-largc. j,
This is a very unsatisfactory arrange- ^
ment to all parties, .as the congressman q
at large has no constituency to whose ?
L-pceial interest he can be attentive. 1
He has no iotluence at Washington t!
and cannot secure an appointment 'j
without incurring vho opposition of tl
some one with a district. The Senators
will not allow him to interfere
with their patronage, and the position '
becomes merely ornamental. tl
"We hear that an effort will be made ('(
to change our district by the union of h
Beaufort with Buruwell, Edgefield, i11
r<
Aiken and Lancaster. Candidates are I \\
alrfjvdv beffiunimz to lay the wires. | 11
Every county will Lave one, if not n
more, who are willing to go to Wash. u

TLc News and Moses.
For some weeks the readers of the
larleston Ncirs have observed a coolss
in its tone when speaking of our
young native governor " and his adinistration.
This eoofnesa has now
issed into positive attack. Its article
jaded "Face the music "in another
luinn, only repeats the arguments
liich we have been using for months
ist in t lie Republican. We are glad
see that circumstances have occurred
hieh may permanently secure the scrvis'of
the uYcux in aid of* that course.
The News also calls attention to the
nirges made by the Colleton 0<.izct(e
rainst Moses, It says :
The Colleton G<izr(te' a radical newsipcr,
of which Mr. (J. F. Mclntyre, I
tate senator I'rom Colleton, is editor J
id proprietor, has printed from week I
> week, for several months past, a scries j
f charges of the gravest kind against !
ic public and private character of the
rovernor of this State. These charges1
re strikingly circumstantial, and names,
atcs and amount are given with what
ppcars to be a studied carefulness to
>y nothing that cannot he sustained by
rcfrazable proof.
It was not our purpose to notice* at
bis time, the onslaughts of the G(uette,
lit the statements made about Governor
loses, in the last issue, are so revolting
s to demand instant attention. The
i.i
Iiarari's are too ioui to uc even minwi
t ; but this we may say: Jf the Collcti]
(wazctU- tells the truth, Governor F.
. Mo.cs, Jr., is theiuost infamous of
nblic men ; and if the Colleton Gazette.
oes not toll the truth, its editor, and
iroprietor richly deserves a long term in
he State penitentiary. It is not for us
o say whether Mcltitvro or Moses is the
eal criminal. Wo know nothing more
bout this thing than we see printed in
he columns of the Gazette. But it is
vident that Governor Moses cannot
ffonl 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 tumid reserve, forced a
nan like llenry Ward Bcecher to a pubic
and peremptory denial of their truth.
governor Moses must speak, or be conbanned
by default. The alternative is
tot a pleasant one; hut there it is, aud
rom it there is no escape.
A Freight Rond.
Parties in Chicago and New York
Nty, in view of the fact that trade will
ivcntually be largely diverted from those
>oiuts because they are not on the shortis
t and cheapest line of communication
etween producers and consumers, arc
naking an effort to save themselves, as
ar as possible, by the construction of a
itrictly fi eight road between the two
mints. A writer to the Chicago Tribune
vho claims to have been one of the origuators
of this project, lays down the
bllowing as his plan for the construction
if such a Bead:
First?Build a three track road from
Chicago to New York, and as nearly on
in air-line as possible: I think the road
ould be run inside of 800 miles. Build
ill iron bridges. Never cross any railond;
build under or over in all cases.
Second?Build, or cause to be built,
i eight cars esjmcially adapted for the
ond and its business. Never run a car
f any other line of road over this road ;
icither allow one of the ears of this road
vcr any other.
Third?Run freight ers on two of the
rack at a speed of six miles an hour.
MiTs rate of speed causes but little wear
nd tear, and forms the time table that
J R'ljUIUU.
Fourth?Run cattle trains on the third
rack Fast; to he returned light, or
>aded on the up-freight track. The
ittlo-lrnin would run on a time table,
n l at a speed of 12 or 1"> miles.
Fifth?Under a speed of six miles,
reight would be carried to New York
ootid* than it now is, and more reliable,
rains could be loaded and sent forward
ist ;e- vessels are loaded and towed out
f your harbor.
Sixth?Chicago wants no more roads
n* passengers, but she must have inin-cd
facilities for getting rid of the
ast amount of produce that she is now
uceiving, witlnmt taking into account
tic great increase she will get within a
L'W years.
Seventh?Chicago must hear in uiind
!iat there are other places that have an
ye to the vast trade she is now getting.
Inch i- not half what she will have
-it hin the next five years, if retained.
High h?New York City uiust join
'hieago in this matter, else she will tind
anie of the cities on the seaboard scekig
this very trade.
Ninth?The business men and capiinl ts
ot both cities must join hands in
liis enterprise, and keep speculative and
lilroa l ring uicn out. There must he
o stealing or manipulating, as in very
lany cases which 1 know.
Tenth?1The cost of this road, ready
>r the equipments, will be about as
lliiu-s !
00 miles, three track road, sav
aliolit $70,00" per uiilc,is..$5fi,00 ).?ll)0
<ocomoi ives 10,< H >0,01 Kl
'ars 14,000,000
SsO.OoO.oi in
In addition to the above, very large
icilities must be ptovided at Chicago
nd Jersey City for the loading and unfading
ot cars?such as grain-elevators
?*d warehouses. I should ?ay these
tottld cost, including land, about !?('>.<HX),
no. Equipments and facilities mint
f necessity be very large on this road,
e handle the immense business.
Eleventh?There is very great want of
lie right kind of facilities for the transorlations
of live stock to New York,
'hi-; road will be able to offer facilitiisin
lie way of curs especially adapted to the
allying of stock, far superior to auyliing
now in use,
Twelfth?In regard to the earnings of
his road, i have no doubt it will prove a
n percent, stock. Freight pays better
lian jiassengcrs. New York & Kne
arned in one year $17,.500,1)00; $.'1,500,
no of which was passenger money. I
ave said, and Defeat it again, that, in
iv opinion, the New York A Erie never
.reived $f for through pa-scngers but
Ii.it it cost them to procure nuu
ansport them.
It i< passenger trains, running 25 to 50
liles an hour, that tear a rood to pieces,
Itile freight trains, at a speed of six
ii!es, cause but a very slight wear aud
;ar.
Finally, a road built, equipped, and
m as above stated, will compete snc ssl'ully
with the water cauiinunicatioii
ii ring the warm months of the year, and
Lad not charge extra in the winter
louths; and will relieve Chicago every
i.v of her vast receipts of produec
id In e stock.

]>ears to have been promoted to the lion- of
orablc post of bulogist-in-chicf and A,
WTiitcwashcr-iu-Ordinary iu the lrousc- A]
hold of Mr. Attorney general Melton, T(J
offers this advice to the citizens vho have \y\
made an attack up m the fraudulent state w
bonds: h,
If the "taxpayers and bondholders" w
who are so anxious about the payment of Ai
interest on fraudulent bonds are really in w
earnest, we would suggest to them a wav i?
by which they can do something which Ai
would result in more than mere tain, and Tf
that is cause the prosecution of the men
who have issued the fraudulent bonds. ' '
if there are any such. Tiiis would
not be a difficult task, and we should Al
then nee whether the state has been
,-windled by its own officers. The prose- u.
I cution and conviction of one person concerncd
iu the issue of fraudulent bonds A|
would be worth more to the state and to
the taxpayers, as well as the holders of
bonds untainted with fraud, than all the T,
speeches of no matter how eminent law- Tf
years to a court from which they a k
nothing. Have they the desire or the oi
! spirit or the public spirit, to undertake ],t
I o #n ! 9*
We concur with the Republican in say- ti
inir that "the prosecution and conviction n
of one person concerned in the issue of <i;
fraudulent bonds," would bo worth more w
than any number of speeches. The "tax- 't'1
payers and bondholders,'' about whom 'rl
our contemporary is so anxious, do mean 11
something more than "mere talk," as is A
proved by their prompt application for
an injunction to restrain the payment of j'
interest upon the so-called conversion
bonds. Their first independent step was
to set about proving that those bonds
were issued in violation of law. N
When that is accomplished, they or ^
the plundered bondholders can pursue ,,
the officials who arc shown to have contrived
aud completed the swindle. It T
would answer as well to begin by pro- s
scenting the officials, instead of bv im- ,\
pugning the validity of the bonds, but t
the only person who can effectually do ii
that is 31 r. Attorney General Melton r
hnnsclf.^lTliat official hrnrcs that the !
Conversion bonds, to the extent of
S7,lt?l,700, arc fraudulent, because that i
fact is formally allcgeu by him, as counsel *
for Comptroller I logo, in the answer to i
the ]ictitiou in Mandamus of Morton, 1
Bliss A Co. And he Icmacs who are the 1
persons who arc' responsible for wbatc .er ''
frauds have been committed. They arc 1
ex-Governor Scott, ex-Treasurer Bark r. j
ex-Comptroller Nenglc, and his own law
partner, ex-Attorney General Cliamherlain.
Mr. Melton is the only prominent '
Radical connected with tho present ad- j
ministration who is not suspected of (
having had a finger in the bond frauds. ,
The information upon' which to found a
prosecution is in his possession. We ^
arc assured by the Republican that, in<
the whole affair of tho bonds, lie has <
shown "a pluck and "srlfrcspect * * * * 'j
, which arc creditable to hiui, "and may ;
he useful to political opponents "here- i
after.'' The people of the State know i
that it is his duly, his plain sworn duty, <
to prosecute officials whom he believes s
to nave violated the law. In his ease it
io r?/?n/1fiil tAcnnnl'nf ctitrif M I
He is bound, by lii.s oath of office, to do
what ""taxpayers and bondholders" cannot
as thoroughly and promptly do. The
JRepuhli'an assures^us that it would not |
be "a difficult task'' to see whether the
State has been swindled bv its own
officers, and one conviction would do
more to cleanse the Kadical party and
keep it. clean, than even the precept and .
example of the Attorney Genera1, agisted
and sustained hy the immaculute
reputation of the Tronmrer and Comp-J
t*oi!rr arrft the 0~orCrnor of "the "Slcfc.
The Republican's final question we
answer hy asking one: Has it the desire
or public spirit to call upon Mr. Melton
to uo bis duty; or does it rely, for the
pursuit and conviction of criminals, upon
the associated "bondholders and taxpayers"
of the Mate?

What a fall is there, my countrymen ! *
Will a Bird poison its Imprisoned t
Voting.
It has often been asserted that birds j!
which are allowc I access to the cage j '
; where tlioir young arc confined, after jc
waiting -until they are old and strong I 1
enough to llv, will then destroy them if 1
they fail to make use of their wings. #
This has been tested of late in onr v,
city. Two boys anxious to rear a brood 1
of young mocking birds, as soon as they 1
were Hedged, placed three of their mini- L
der in a large wire cage, which was sits- 1
ponded from the bough of a tree near
the original parent nest. 1
The old birds were (puckly on band 0
and greeted their young with most ex- c
travagant demonstrations of joy. Soon >'
they began to bring them worms and v
grasshoppers and other food, and once
the female actually pressed the door of the
cage open and shared for a brief v
season the captivity of her offspring. 1

in attentions, and the hoys wore sure of 'J
a bevy of sweet songsters which they j '
hoped to dispose of at a round sum for i1
pocket tnoucy. j '
Hut alas for this hope. The old hirds 11
distrusted and disheartened at the tardy i 1

so tenderly watched over and provided s
for, resolved to punish thcui even unto 1
death, for their culpable neglect of this 1

rriio Itonson "Why Mr. O'Clnrciice did
not Appear in the Firemen's Procession.
[From the lianhury News.]
The firemen had a parade on Saturday,
t was a tine a Hair, lmt the absence of
dr. ()'Clarence was deeply felt, not only
iy the department, but by the public,
lis lull ir and faithful services at tlu: |
msincss meetings and festivals, and Ids
plcndid bearing on parade, have given
Wr. (Idareiice an enviable position in 1
ie hearts of his countrymen. We are *
orry he was not present Saturday. Hut ^
in unlocked for and very painful aceident
leprived him and us of a great pleasure.
The night which preceded the last
inniveisary of our national independence,
ie took home twenty-five do lars' worth
if fireworks for a splurge on the next
light. He calculated lie had glory '
nough in that package to fill with 1
gratitude and admiration every taxpayer 1
mi North street, and his wife, after careirly
examining thejlot, was equally conident
the neigbor# would "make their
yes hung out," as she pensively exiressed
it.
The next morning O'Cl: rciioe got out
he bundle to look it over again and feed ^
n the anticipation. There were there >
aiinoii crackers?several packs?and
omaii candles, and blue-lire, and pin t
rheels, and rockets and the like?a very i
reditable assortment lor any family, i
Jr. Wick ford's hoy from the next house 11

licce of lighted punk in his hand, and c
iad both his eyes and mouth wide open 1
njoyinar the sight. O'Clarence was
itting on his liaunehes, holding a pin- J
rheci in his hand, explaining t?i Mrs. c
VCIaivncc how cheaply they could he 1
iiade in China, and how superior in 1
ngenuity and industry were the Chinese j
o all other races. None of them know ,
low it. happened, but O'Clarence rcnenibers
that there were two open packs
d'eannou crackers just under him, ami
hinks Wick ford's hoy must have in f
nine way drooped the punk in among 11
hem, and in the general interest lbrgot a
hat it was afire.
At any rate, there was a sudden hiss "
iglit under Mr. O'Clarence, followed in
lie next instant by a toruado of sounds
nd sparks, and that gentleman at once j
hot toward the ceiling in a blaze of va- T
ions colored lights, wnile the air became v
hick with sparks bluelights, blazing balls
adustriou? pinwheels, insane skyrockets,
nd screeching crackers. Mrs. O'Claruce
fell over a chair that coat cigbt dol
s when new, and struck the hack of B(
r head ngauist the stove hearth with a
ale nee that added materially to the disay
of fire-works already going on.
iekfork's hoy was struck in the mouth
th a skyrocket and had two-thirds of
s hair taken off by a roinan candle, and j
is knocked through a doorway by a
cce of ordnance just introduced this c'
asoo, and which will undoubtedly be- cho
me popular when understood better, auci
c was afecrwards fished out of a roseish,and
taken home in a tablecloth.
0 Clarance remained during the enre
exhibition, looking at it from various st,t
>itions, and when it was over with he ly,
as put in a sheet by the neighbors, and thi
iterated with oil, and then covered with
glasses and flour. We loam that new
;in is already forming on parts of him,
id if no unfavorable syinptomssct in lie ho
ill he out in a fortnight, although it is nu
i?t likely he will mingle much in society jy
ntil his hair and eyebrows commence to .
row. He thinks Wickford's boy is
ead, and they dare not tell him to the su
mtrary until he gets stronger. Siugu- an
rly enough, Mrs. O'Clarance escaped
ijnry by burns, but the blow on her .
cad was so severe that she cannot hear ,u
) have her back hair drawn up as high ?h
t it was before, and missing her church roi
rivilcgcs is a sore trial to her. \]
