I\?i*li'i 1 i*?l lj;i??l*?0rcK?n Security.
A low days sinco wo roquostod of
our County Auditor, lor puldiuation,
a I'm I of the lands in this comity forfaited
t > the Statu tliin year lor the
n(Mi payment ol taxes, in making up !
I ho list the Amlilov kindly permitted
us to on nvci' t!?* hooks with him. In
doing sown examined the lists o! previously
delinneutod and lorleited
lands. In this was a tract of
acres, assessed and returned as the
properly ol Willis & Chi 1 sol 111, and I
known as the "Oivtfon plantation,"
situated on the Waecamaw river,
above the mouth of Hull ('reck.
These lands were dclnpionti d in i
1 f;*<"?">, and 210 acres sold by the 1.1 ensure
r to Thos. Ik Khodes, which paid j
up previous taxes. In S7 1, the remainder,
I,oris acres, were delimpionted,
ami in 1^72 were declared loifeitcd
to the Stale and so reported to the
Comptroller-! Jcncral, together with (
the list of other forleited lands.
In accordance with the Comptroller
CeueiaTs circular instructions to the
County Auditor, this, as well as other j
lorleited lam hi, has not heen returned
or assessed lor taxation, neither has
any State or county tax been paid on
it since the vear 1870, Put it still remains
on the Auditor's books as the I <
lorleited lauds of Willis A: Chilsolm.
Now the seipial to the history ol .
this famous ''Oregon" tract ot laud, ,
and the uses it has served the Stale I i
since its forfeiture, is shown in exhibit
.
A, of the report of the taxpayers* com- | |
niittee on the n flairs of the bank ol | ^
the State. There we find that on the <
'J 0th of.January, 1870, on the order of <
Judge (Irahant, the receiver loaned 1
to .Julius C. Carpenter *S,000, siin.l
took as security :i mortgage <>u tho (
"Oregon" plantation in !lorry county. I
It is useless to curse over such little 1
11 Hairs as this, ami it' so inclined, we
I
could not do justice to tho subject, j
hut Would ha\e to send for Parson t
llrowttlow, and tell him that .Judge t
iii
Urabaui was the Democrat eloquent, |
who expounded equal justice from the j |
jcnch when he presided over tlieL,
'IJIack Code." l?ut what a comment I h
Iocs this transaction ail'ord? The
Tito lending the funds of the creditors
. . s
)f live State, which it lost must l>o ^
nade good by taxation, and taking :is c
security a mortgage on its own prop- n
srty tluit cannot be sold tor its taxes. ,v

had computed, I proceeded on the 2iUh
inst. to compute tho position and proh
aide apparent magnatude ot the tail, :
in order to learn whether it would he

earth's orhit, so as to he visible at all
alter the head of t4ic comet disappears
in tho west. From my own estimate
of its length on tho morning of the i
2oth, alter tiie moon had set, 1 deter- I
mined its actual length at the time to I
he certainly over !>,000,000 miles. I j
tlien assumed an increase of length ot I
one-tenth each day, and readied the
startling result that upon duly 20lh,
its tail would actually stlike our earth.
Put knowing that it the tail should
not lie long enough to reaeli our orhit,
it would lade away in the twilight
without making any unusual display,
I would not venture to publish my
result wit out further examination.
Willi later observations of greater
accuracy, 1 have repeated and extended
my computations, and I am confirmed
in the opinion that we shall be
. ither so near the tail ot tho comet, as
is sweeps across the ecliptic, that it
will (ill a large portion of the heavens,

the lormathm of a tail equal to I
,hal of Douati's comet, which I watch- I
'd with so much care, I will venture
ome predictions, trusting that they 1
nay be received with more confidence 1
han my early predictions of the In- i 1
uro ot Douati's comet, and that they i (
nay be as lully continued. j c
On Tuesday evening, J imo liOth, ami
>n the following evening, the mocu i
rill rise belore the twilight fairly 1
nils, hut on Thursday, duly 2d, at N
lalf past nine o'clock, the comet will
ie plainly seen by the naked eye in 1
he northwestern sky (no other do- '
eription will be needed) with a tail J
bout live deg. in length. On buceeding
evenings t!ie nucleus will '
love toward the south, while the tail s
rill increase in length, so as to bring L
: j extremity gradually northward. I
>n the Mill ol duly the head of the l
oniet will have reached the horizon :1
i the nortliwest at the end of twi- 8
ght, so that it will not easily he \ isi- l
ie alter that dale, but the tail will 1
xtend nearly to the pole star. 1
Douati's comet had a retrograde
lotion, and when the earth met it, J
ml the tail was most brilliant, it was
laced nearly at right angles with the 1
ue of vision. On the other hand, 1
lis comet, whoso perihelion distance '
i very little greater, coming within ie
orbit of Venus, moves in the same 1
ireetion with the earth, and nearly 1
ith the same velocity, (reduced to 1
ie plane of the equator,) in oouse- i
nonce of which the tail, which is now
early at right angles with the line ot n
ision, will gradually turn toward us,
ill apparently pointing nearly in the
one direction. It will be remember- 0
1 that Douati's comet was curved 1
ke a soldier's plume; but V^ggia's is l1
aw and will remain nearly straight, ?

vi 1 m of comets generally is that it will v

ide at the end. c
On July 10th the tail will extend c
r beyond tiie pole and develop a J'
jw characteristic, tapering oil'rapidly 1
iward the end, Within three or lour P
lys after the 10th the tail will have u
3Con\e so expanded in the neighbor- fl
jod of the pole as to till a large part U

It has 1 t>nijj been apparent to every
nactieal mind that the prescriptive
luliev pursued toward the Southern
States sinee the close ol the war must
leeessnrily result in vast injury to the
naterial interest of the country at
arge. The prosperity ami resources
)i twelve millions of people, accustom d
to protluee the staples most in <1 ouaml
abroad, ami which furnished the
>asis of a large part of the foreign
xchangcs, could not be struck down
vuhout a very serious reaction.
The elVeet ot that harsh jvolicy have
)een felt throughout the crisis of the
ast twelve mouths, and may be said
o have added greatly to its intensity. '
ITse Southern States have m>L only 1
wen crushed down by the weight of 1
ionic two hundred millions of debt, 1
mated by carpel bag Governments, '
rom which there is no hope ot relief 1
xeept trough repudiation, but they .
ire kept impoverished by the succesors
of these theives, who appropriate 1
o their own use all the revenues deis
od irotn the exiremest tortus of j
uinous taxation. !
Instead, therefore, of contributing a J
ust portion to the general burdens,
nul oi adding to the national wealth, '
liese rich States have become almost '
Kinkrupt, and are wholly unable to 1
urnish the markets tlicy once did for
Northern nianulaetures and Western [ J
Miniia'i', _\s a necessary consequence | 1
hose interests have greatly sullered j 1
rum t}iis cause, and they in then* turn
uivo involved others, thus heightening J
;reatly the present derangement ol
11 business.
It was the power ot the President
nd his Administration to have at
nee reconciled the South to its true \
elations to the Union, and at least '
mlially restored the former condition
t prosperity, without compromising ny
of t!\o great results winch had ,
?cen acheivcd through the stern arbt- *.
raiuent of live sword. All they asked
,'as to be lot alone, to be allowed to

epair the wastes ol war, and to ac- *

lie amendments to the Constitution,
'hoy had had enough of bloody strife, s
oluical contention, and folly. This j
as the sentiment of the masses ot

Instead of conciliation, perverse .
igenuity was exercised to inako odi- )'
us and oppressive laws, and to place 1 1
icir execution in tlio hands of adven- ^
irers, rogues, and robbers, who made ?
icm doubly offensive by outrage and

under the heel ot a vulgar usurper,
with decay visible everywhere.
llardly a voice ot remonstrance was
raised during the session of seven
months against this infamous usurpation
which, without even the pretext
ot a doubtful vote to excuse it, is maintained
by the connivance of the President
and the patronage which he has
corruptly dispensed. Louisiana thus
enslaved, depopulated, and ruined, the
oreal West lias been deprived of one
ul its best customers.
The people of South Carolina, driven
to despair anarchy, robbery,
and persecution, invoKed Congress to
investigate its condition and to earrv
out the guarantee of i^^JAmstiiution
by giving to tin iir^^^eprudieau form^~

and fraud which is now forced

heed was taken to that proper appeal,
and Congress by its failure tacitly approved
the enormities of Closes and
his crew of outlaws who are now ravaging
what may be left ol that afllioted

Hut the very men who contemptuously
spurned the petition of the intelligence,
