Those worths wind up the comments ol'ihe Unit ffervhl ?>n N'ast's cartoon on (lov. Closes' viewing the promised land. "Itorlorm or Kuin." These words have been canted in the months ol the corruptionists until they have heeoine a scorching hiss in the ears ol all honest people. Hypocrisy, clothed with theblaekgaibofhell itself, is hut the alpha ol the omega of this "reform or ruin" llaunted in every Radical paper from the lowest to the highest, even from the Orangeburg A'cics up to the Oeoretown I'lanet. Two years ago these words that are now being made the battle cry l'or the coining campaign were the eternal vigilance ol the same watchmen on the wall that surrounds the ruins where Moses now stands. Two years ago "reform in our own ranks, rolorm or ruin," was the mantle that hid Moses and the Kadieal party from view as they ascended to the pinnacle ot that mount that now lies in ruins under Moses' feet. Two years ago this "sacred pledge of reform or ruin" was made, and for two years has this sacred pledge ol ruin been most solemnly and laithfully observed. Less than six months ago, aye even alter .Moses had been indicted lor grand larceny, these same pledgers defended his administration against that ol Scott's, and boasted ol us triumphant rolorm success in lir.ancial economy ami expenditure. Can it, he possible that the Kadieal Republican parly are honest in their pretensions of "reform in their own lanks," or do they think hv using the leported threat of President. Kraut to turn the State over to the Democrats they will again be successful with the same old chaff bait of reform in our own ranks? That tborn arc good ami true Republicans in this party who earnestly desire reform, there is no doubt. Hut the misfortune is, theie is too little leaven to leaven this mighty mass of eoi ruption. Rut they say to others "if you are earnest in vonr wish tor reform, join with ns in electing good men ot our own party; we can't, go to you, hut you must come to us. This is all mighty nice, hut in the same breath they tell us we are to have nothing to do with selecting candidates; we are to do the voting and thereby sanction ihe corruption of the corruptest leaders in their ranks. Two years relorm in their own rank* have done more for the ruin of the State than all the proceeding years since the war. Had on (((Kid Manners. We read of the days when it s*as considered possible foi an honest man to be a member of Congress and retain his honesty. Such is not considered possible now, even it a member was so fortunate as to be possessed of this rare qualification on entering that body, it is soon lost in the general corruption. Hut it might seem possible for a member to retain bis politeness and good manners, especially when going abroad. Such, however, is not the case. But that "evil communications corrupt good manners" is made manifest in the fact that the Hon. Joseph II. Kainey, on his way home from Washington, forgot that the Civil Mights Bill had not been passed, and that a hotel was not a government crib, run for the exclusive benefit of its ollice-holders. Fifteen years ago it was a rare thing to meet with a more polite, gentlemanly mannered man, or one whose deportment showed better breeding, than lion. Joseph II. Hainey. l?nt that he has lost the surrounding inlluencc of his former good breeding is shown in the following item from the New York Sun: "Kainey, the negro Congressman frpm South Carolina, tried to force himself into the dining room of Karrat's Hotel, Suffolk,' Va., ?>n Wednesday last. The clerk stopped him at the door and told him that negroes > could not eat with white people, and ho would send his breakfast out to liiin. Kainey became so violent in iiis expressions that the clerk took him l?y the collar aud showed him out. 1 NEWS: JCLY 25, [For the Horry News.] South Carolina Monument Association. ' At a meeting of tho Hoard ol Directors ot tho South Carolina Monument Association hohl on Monday, .July Kith, 1871, tho following statement ot tinanecs was made t>y the Tri'iisiinir M in \V Iv I t-wlitifi i>> ?

The Hoard oi Directors confidently hope that the different districts will soon report a sufficient amount collected to enable the work to be linislied. The capitals and principal towns oi nearly every Southern State, have monuments to the memory of the dead heroes of the lost cause, and the capital of South Carolina is yet without this proper tribute to her gallant sons. Several years ago her noble women undertook to erect a monument at Columbia, with subscriptions from women alone, and the foregoing statement shows the result of their eilbrts. The ladies and little girls of Horry gave a portion of the sum above reI ported, but the work is only half fini died and they arc again asked to help in this good work. Any subscription, however small, will lie acceptable, ami the undersigned, in the absence ot | Miss 10. .1. Congdon, tin; agent for this county, will receive and forward the m onies subscri bed. Jos.

This nomination is made, we are told, not because the Jlernhi likes Schenck, hut, as it, says, "in a pure spirit of disinterested deviltry." Notwithstanding the benevolent motive of the /Jeruld'H proposition, it will not. work. II there is to he another Republican President, Maine is the man; ami we will say lrankly that while he stands morally about on a par with Schenek, though not his equal as a poker player, he is otherwise superior to him, and would make a much hotter President, because iie has been a newspaper editor, which Schenek never was, and has thereby learned to tool something o! the impulse of public sentiment and to know how it is himsclt. j lint it will not do to elect any Rej publican. Hlaine or Schenek, .Morton or (Jonkling, would only keep in power the present corrupt agencies that have gamed the entire and irreversible control of the Republican party, and that are rapidly carrying the country downward. They might desire rotorm but it would he beyond their means. And not only this, the election ol either of them would only perpetuate that spirit of defiance to liberty and that disregard of honest government and of personal rights w hich the Republican party expressed in passing the Poland and Krelinghuysen hill against the l'ree do in oi the press. The only safety lies in a peaceful revolution which shall smash the Republican machine, turn out. Republican oHiee-holdcrs, and bring in new ideas, honest legislation, and no stealing. The Republican party has become the loe ol honesty, and ol liberty, and of the public weal. It must ho broken down.

I A correspondent of the Louisville | Courier Journal says: While in j South Carolina, it was told to me l>y leading Denioerats, who said they : knew it to be a fact, lliat Gen. Grant j was in favor of Gen. Kershaw for the next Governor of that State. lie had sent a verbal message to them to that Gleet, and wanted them to put him in iiviiiiiiauuM, intimating mat no would see to it that there would he a fair election. It is known that the distinguished Confederate General and the President are warm personal friends, and it is now also well known that President Grant is at last weary and disgusted with the misrule of Moses and his Kadieal followers. Had it not been for the unfortunate | ; allusion to Mrs. Grant and the Plack I Friday by Gen. Gary, in the Taxpay-I era' Convention, he would have lifted the iron hand from the State months lago; but he has now gotten over his I foolish anger about that matter, and, I 1874:. like everybody else, sees that the Radical party of South Carolina is 1 a disgrace to our common country." i tnportuiit to Taxpayers. i The lollowini* is the decree of Judge < o o I Crahiim, the substance of which has i been already announced: ' In the Common lMeas, Charleston i County, First Circuit?The State ' ex rel. the Union Rank, vs. William > (iuruey, County Tieasurer, Charles- ( t < >11 County. The iclator tendered Wills of corporation known as tin; lVcsdent airJ Directors of the IJauk of the State of Mouth Carolina lor payment of taxes due the Stale. The temler was made ! under the section of the charter of cor- ' poration which provides that these hills shall bo received for taxes and ' money due to the Stale. Tin: County Treasurer refused to receive the hills so tendered, and applies t ion was made for a rule to show cause wpy a mar.damns should not 1 issue to compel that oflicer to receive ! the hills so tendered. The County Treasurer has Hied his return, and the relator has tiled .his ' reply to the same. Tim case so pre- < sunted is in no material rcsprect different from the cases which have been before the Supreme Court of this State and of the United States. In t he cases of Wagner vs. Stoll, and Hobband Lowndes vs. Carney, all the questions now before the court were carefully considered by the Supreme Court of tlm United States, the judgment of the court declaring that the hills of this corporation should he received for taxes, adopted by the Supremo Court of this State in the cases referred to, a mandamus lias been ordered to go from this court to the c unity treasurer to receive the hills of this corporation for taxes. I consider, therefore, that the question of the receivalidity of the bills of the corporation known as the president and directors of the Hank of the State of South Carolina, for payment of taxes duo the State, is finally and conclusively settled 1 >y the judgment of the Supreme Court of the United States and the Supreme Court of this State. A question was raised whether such bills were to be received for taxes h-vied i>y the county as well as for taxes levied by the State. When the Stale became bound by its obligations to receive these btlls for taxes and money due to it, such portions of the general tax as were applied to the wants of the subdivisions, then called districts and now called counties, were levied by the State itself. Now they are levied by the counties; but in the exercise of a power given by the State and collected by an ollioer appointed by the Slate, who is responsible to the State for misfeasance or malfeasance in ofliee? There is much force in what is said, that when the State assumed the obligation to receive those bills for 1 ^ | taxes, all taxes were due to the State, levied by it and applied as it directed in the districts, now called counties. It is true that the power which the county now exercises in regard to taxation is the power which the State gives to it, and, moreover, it is true that a qualification of the power of the State in regard to the mode in which a tax is paid, would seem to follow the exercise of the power it delegated. lnit the question is not free from doubt, and if the taxpayer has the right to pay taxes to ti 10 county in these bills, it is proper that, it should be atlirmed by the Supreme Court. The judgment of this court is, that the bills of the president and directors ot the Hank of the State of South Carolina are to ho received lor taxes due to the State ot South Carolina, but not for taxes due to the county ot Charleston. Let a mandamus issue to William | (Juruey, County Treasurer ot Charles| ton county, to receive lor payment of taxes due to the State the bills of the president and directors of the Hank ot the State of South Carolina tendered by the relator. This order will be applicable to all other cases in which tender ol such lulls have been made and refused and i mandamus asked for. 11. F. Graham. July 15th, 1 874. The Columbia Union-Herald ventures to affirm that "if the Democratic members of the Legislature had refused to share in the desperate animus of the Hourbon Opposition, and had earnestly co-opcraled with good Republicans, as was done in the last | Legislature, in defeating schemes of plunder, much of the bad legislation ol ihc past six; years would have been ! avoided.')X This is a queer thing to s say. The outside public had been constrained to think that the members in question had been over-ready to "dicker" with the majority; and there was not much "desperate "animus" in the ordering, by the Conservatives, ot a service of plate us a testimonial to the ability and worth ot the colored Speaker ol the House.
