Yesterday was 'thc lime appointed for
the hearing of the eas; of the State of
South Carolina, ex relatione, the Attorney
General, against the several County Aud
itors and Treasurers, upon the rule to show
cause, made by Judge Melton several days
ago, why they should not be restraiued
from the colleotiunof the taxes, as recently
ordered by Comptroller beagle.
The defiant! failed to appear; and the
rule was made absolute, ana an injunction
order granted, which we publish elsewhere
in ourcolumus. The people are at rest for
a season, and no taxes car. ba dr manda] of
them until the General Assembly shall
have taken action in the premises.
The scheme, which had been undoubt
edly concocted by Neagle and Parker, in
connection, perhaps, with a few other specu
lators, to gobble up the larger part of the
incoming taxes for the payment of certifi
cates, priming bills, etc., is thus effectually
balked for the present, and probablvfor all
time. This is all very well, and exceeding
ly gratifying, so far as it goes.
The action of the new administration,
and particularly of Judge Melton and
Secretary of State Cardozo in this regard is
certainly- commendable. .
We like these injunctions, which Judge
Melton has been granting, aruji we think
all the parties who have been instrumental
in procuring them deserving of very high
commendation from the honest, substantial
citizens of the State.
We hear that there is quite a stir among
the harpies around the Slate House, at the
course of Judge Melton and Cardozo. They
are indignant at the idea that any person
who professes Republicanism in South
Carolina, should undertake any work
which looks to the iuterests of the tal
avera, and t.'hicb will keep money out of
he Treasury. Angry threats are made of
reducing the salary of the Attorney Gene
ral, and of having the office shorn of its
powers. It is the same old story over
again. If ever a man in the Republican
party of this State, attempts to act hon
orably, and to subserve the substantial
interests of the people, at once he is set
upon and either whipped back into the
rut of corruption, or else is ostracised by
the party. There has never yet though
bee ii a man of Mel ton'? brains who has
tried it, and we* hope the sequel will show
that he has the strength and tho tensity of
purpose to withstand both their blandish
ments and their threats.
We understand that he is backed by
the Administration, and if tins be true,
he can certainly bold his own.
It is promised that there will be a large
reduction in the amount of the tax. We
hope so. If there is no*, then what has
been done amounts to almost nothing.
The mere deferring for a month or six
weeks the payment of the taxes, would be
of but little benefit to the people. Re
duction is what they want. In order too
to muse any marked reduction qf the tax
consistent with the proper support of the
Government; there must be a wholesale
curtailment of expenses. If useless offices
are abolished ana extravagant'salaries of
others cat down and an honest financial
management of the Government inaugu
rated, the State can be conducted upon
one-half of what may now be considered
as legitimate expanses.
There.is scarcely an appropriation hith
erto made by the General Assembly which
may not be largely diminished if the pub
lic funds are kept well in hand and the
cash be always ready to meet proper de
mands. There are the Lunatic Asylum
and the Penitentiary, for instance. Fifty
thousand dollars in cash would go farther
to the proper maintenance of these insti
tutions than the eighty thousand appro
?riated, but never promptly paid them,
n the purchases which are made for pro
visions and other supplies, if the mer
chants have to give credit and take the
risks of finally getting their money, they
will, of course, increase their charges ac
cordingly.-South Carolinian.
Work of the Fire Fiend.
On last Saturday the residence of the
widow of the late J no. Farley, at Wiud
sor Hill, thirteen miles from' the city, near
Colleton, St. James' Goose Creek", took
fire from sparks which fell from the chim
ney to the roof, and in a short while the
dwelling and its entire contenta were com
pletely destroyed. The loss is indeed a
serious one, and is the cause of no little
affliction.
A disastrous fire occurred at Edisto
Wednesday, about one o'clock, by which
a lot of valuable property was swept away
in a few minutes. ,.
Centrally located on the island was
Wright's ?lore, and near by hi? large gin
house, connected by a shaft under ground,
which ran the grist mill.
The main building, seventy by forty
five feet, and twp and a half stones high,
embraced the engine and packing room
and grist mill, and contained u thirty
borve power engine, ten McCarthy gina.
twenty-three thousand pounds of seed
cotton, and eighteen bags of cotton, be
longing to parties who sent them to be
baled.
The store in which the trading was
done, was well stocked with dry goods,.|
groceries and such articles as are usually
lound in an establishment of the kind, ail
valued at from four to live thousand dol
lars. The machinery cost nearly :*v3,(K)0.
and the eins $2.100. The entire loss is
estimated at S40.UUU.
There are two theories of thc origin
the fire-one that it was caused by a pipp
in the pocket of one of the female hands,
and another, by a match which was igni
ted by being crushed under foot.
When thd alarm Was giv-n, one of the
attaches of th-- establishment ran out of j
the dwelling and saw a cloud of smoke
arising from the tjin house, which w??
soon in dames. A colored woman, Dinned
Jane Miller, ri-id from the direction qf thjs
building from which the smoke was issu
ing, while the devouring element wrapped
itself around her body, and soon redu ed
it to a covering resembling parchment.
lier sufferings were terrible, and were only
relieved by death. Several colored men
who tried to stay the progress,of the fire
were burnt. By the mont herculean ef
forts the dwelling of the proprietor, a short
.distance off, was saved, and onlv about
$150 worth of dry goods saved trom the
stotk in the store.
The establishment gave employment to
a large number of hands, and was quite
an extensive om?. There was no insuraare.

Fire at MUledgevIUe.
From the Macon Telegraph we get the
following additional particulars of the dis
astrous fire at Milledgeville on Friday
morning:
The rire broke out in a cellar under the
Macon store of 0. E. Besore, who lost a
stock of goods valued at $9,000, upon
which there was no in&urance. There be
ing scarcely any means of defense against
fire, the flames had their own way, and
Bwept everything within 1-heir reach.
The Milledgc-ville Hotel, a fine three
story brick building; Newell's Hall and
seven stores were totally burned, causing
a loss of $100,000,-about ohe-fourth of |
which was covered by insurance.
During the progress of the fire a young,
man named Corey, who was engaged in;
business in one of tbe stores that were
burned, was in tho building endeavoring
to save some, of his effects, when a keg of |
powder exploded with terrific force, bury
ing hini in the wreck of the burning
building. . His charred remains were taken
from the rcin3 Friday.
Ed. Compton and several others were
badly hurt at the same time, though no
more' lives were lost.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
How THEY TEEAT THE COLOBED ELE
MENT IN NEW ENGLAND.-The managers
of the Hartford (Conn) Woman's Chris
tian Association Home having refused to
admit a respectable colored girl to thain
stitution, were reported to the Board of
Directresses, but nave been sustained, the
board resolving, by a vote of 14 to 7, to
exclude colored women from the House
"asa matter of Christian expediency."
Much feeling exists in Hartford vicinity
over the matter and result.
No person; aays a writer in the Phila
delphia Ag?, appears to have noticed the
philological fact.,that the term "carpet
bagger" is a liberal translation of the
French phrase " homme de sac," which is
.defined in the dictionaries as rogue, thief,
and so forth.

A Word About National Finances.
A subject of popular discussion just
now is Secretary Boutwell's proposition
to inflate the greenback jmrrency of the
nation to the extent of ftyOO?.OOO. The
power to expand or ' contract the volume
of tlie currency at will, is a power so
fraught with ruin and disaster to the
country in its abuse, that It ought not to
be entrusted to the hands of any man
or any set of men And certainly Mr
Boutwell's antecedents, either as a man
a politician, or A financier, are not such
as to make us willing to confide to him a
trust so momentous in it* consequences.
The Montgomery Mail and Advertiser
speaks thus pointedly on this subject!
*' The power claimed by Secretary Bout
well to inflate our greenback currency
at his discretion to the extent of forty
four millions, is a power to make rich
men poor whensoever he will.
11 You are a heavy buyer of pork, or
wheat, or cotton, or beef; the Secretary
(rives hi? screw a. turn by drawing in
Greenbacks, and you are ruined by a fall
of your commodity in price which you
could not have foreseen and provide for;
or you sell one of those Btaples for de
livery at a day specified, when you shall
have returned from buying, and he lets
out a flood of greenbacks and makes
you rich in a day. Your commodity is
really worth no more than before ; you
only pay for it, reality, less than you
bargained to do. while its nominal or
face value was less than the Secretary
has made it.
44 If there is to be inflation or contrac
tion it ?hold be effected on ample public
notioe, in accordance with law. The
Secretary's actual course is despotism of
the Turkish pattern. It cannot abide
discussion."

Beech island Lanes.

Counties to the ?ale of Beech Island '
lands advertised ia the Advertiser, to be i
J old in the City of Augusta next Tuesday,
Doce m lier 3,) at public sale, at the lower
Market House.
These lands are only a few miles from
Augusta, in close proximity to tbe.Port
Royal Railroad, and with the facilities
that will be afforded by thaf Rood will
be as convenient to the markets of Au
gusta, as lands on the Georgia side of the
river. Our citizens are aware of the in
creased value of lands by the construc
tion of the Charlotte, Columbia and Au
gusta Railroad; and there is every reason
to suppose the same result will follow j
the completion of the Port Royal Road.
The terms of sale are liberal, as to time
of payments and rate of interest, and an
investment in these lands may prove]
ultimately more profitable than money
loaned at a higher rate of interest.
The Constitutional ist, noticing this im
portant Land sale, says :
" We call the atteutiou of our citizens I
and the public to the advertisement ol'|
Beech Island lauds, which will be offer
ed at public sale on the 3d of December

trix, and William Shear. These lands
are in close proximity to the Port Royal
Railroad, and with the facilities which
will be afforded by that road, will bo OB
convenient to the citizens of Augusta,
and cou be reached as soon or sooner by
rail, as the lands on this side of the river
can with horse and buggy. They are
good corn and cotton lauds, as may be
seen from the crops of the present year.
The terms are liberal to the purchaser,
only or.q-third cash required, and the
balance in one and two years, with in
terest at seven per cent. With the pres
ent prices of corn and cotton, the pro
ducts of these lands will go far towards
meeting the second and third payments."

The Cotton Prospect.
WASHINGTON. November 23.
The November report of the statisti
dan of tho Department of Agriculture
gives to the cotton prospects substantial
ly the same interpretation as tho Octo
ber statement. The weather has been
fine for picking. "Frosts have.been ear
lier than usual in tho moro Northern
States, but au earlier maturity of the
plant is indicated, and the past month
has been quite favorable for the develop*
ment ol' the maturing bolls. While the j
returns of the condition since August
have been much below an average, they
have been higher than those of the cor
responding months of the previous year
and very unfavorable season, averaging
in October 82 against 70, and in Septem
ber 91 against 80. The November re
turns give the indicated total product in
comparison with the small crop of 1871,
ai.d the average made is about lil per
cent, increase, with un area in cultivation
larger by 12 to 13 per cent. Thc greatest
losses from the prevalence of the army
and boll worm arc lound in Florida and
Alabama. In Louisiana, Mississippi and
Georgia, local damage has also been
heavy. Tn Arkansan a reduction of tho
yield was caused by drought in July and
August. The comparison ljy State? with
last year's crop is as follows : North, Car-1
ollna, 12.1; South Carolina, 124; .Georgia,
119; Florida, 102; Alabama, 111 ; Missis
sippi, 112 ; Louisiana, 121 ; Texas, 12ii ;
Arkansas, 10.5; Tennessee, 110. Missou
j ri, Virginia, Illinois and other States,
which, together, produced 55,000 bales
in 1860 in which cotton culture was stin>'
ulatod in several subsequent years, now
scarcoly yield 10 per cent of thatiunouut.
The total production as indicated hy the
returns of the first week in November
is made nearly 3,4"i0,000 bales. At that
date apparently 2f> to 30 per cent, of the
crop, or nearly 1,000,000 bales remained
to be picked and subjeet to the vicissi
tudes of the weather, which might de
crease the final aggregato by 'beating'
storms, or slightly enlarge it by- a favor
able season for opening and gathering
.the fibre of thc top crop. The indicate!
product of fibre per acre, as returned,
from each county, makes the following
averages for each State: North Carolins:
17:; pounds; South Carolina, 1K2; Geor
gia, 180; Florida, 12f>; Alabama, 170:
Mississippi, 200: Louisiana, 215; Texas,
220; Arkansas, 170 ; Tennessee, 100. The
area in cotton, as calculated from the re
turns of 1872, is as follows : In North
Carolina, 450,629; South Carolina, 570,r
652; Georgia, j,i>ll,S31 ;'Florjda, 108,090;
Alabama, 1,387 972; Mississippi 1,437,
618; Louisiana, 940-.218 ; Texas, 914,200';
Arkansas, 093,572; Tennessee, J1S,60?
In calculating the indicated product, the
average bale is estimated at 465 pounds.

wa9 about eight years old, was going home
from school, and in naming through a lot
of hogs, with pigs, on his fal lier's placo, it
is supposed ho stopped'to pl.iy with some
of tuc pMgs; when tho infuriated hogs
rushed upon him and devoured him bodily,
saying his head and shoulders. No one
was near the scene of this, most awful
tragedy, and consequently no assistance
could be given him. The particulars of
this sad and frightful case were given us
late last night by Mr. Smith; the gentle
manly agent in this city of the Pacific and
Atlantic telegraph line*-Lexington (Ky.)

TnE OWNER OF BASSETT CHALLENGES1

On thc whole^howeVer, it does hot/'
seem probable that: anj-thihgTikc ?.good
crop as was ?xp?cted a short time since
can be made. Some parities even esti
mate the loss at SOi?tity hog*1 "ads. Grind
ing commenced pretty late owing to tho
election, so that there is an unusually
large amount of cane ?left ba the field for
thin season of the year.;...; , -,
This calamity to our sugar planters is
very unfortunate. This interest seems
to haye been under a ban everfduce tho
war. A manful strugffle- has been made
year after year to reinsta'te this' great in
dustry to its former position, but unpro
pitious seasons have kept doWn tho crop
to small proportions. Jt is very doubtful
whether such a series ?of -bad. wop years
as those Kineo 1804 has eyer bceri, expes
rioned.
''M/my planters are wholly disTieartem?d i
already, and if tho -worst reports now
coming to hand be correct, it is not ?ih-'
probable that many may. abandon the.

L. Broaddus, ilr. GEORGE D. WAL
KER to Miss M ARY ELIZA MIMS,, all
pfEdgefield. .
.We have the hone* to number the fair
bride among our most cherished frionds,
and wc hope for her"-and no less for the
husband of her choice-everything that
can tend to happiness and honor. As
for her basket of wedding cake to us, it
was one of those " liberal things" de
vised only by " liberal hearts." .
MARRIED, at the residence of the
bride's mother, on Tuesday evening, thc
20th Nov. 1872, by tho Rev. W. A. Law
ton, Mr. JAMES FRAZIER, of Winns
boro, to Miss MARIA B. HILL, third
daughter ol' tho late JA jr ES L' Hir.L, Esq.,
of Edgcficld.
. A bright and happy occasion, where
all was beauly and tasto, and refinement,
and affluence. Wo beg thc young couple
to accept again our most respectful
congratulations and kindest wishes,
Tin- VVar alu g lias becu Heeded.
Since thc exposure of tho attempts
made uv certain unscrupulous local deal
ers, to palm oil' their coarse astringents,
made from cheap and impure materials,
iu the place ol'thc groat national tonic,
Hostcttcr's Stomach Bitters, public opin
ion has set strongly against these em
pirics and their preparations. Their oc
cupation is goue, or soon will bo. When
the light is let into doception it soon
wilts dowra Persons who trillo with
their own health, by using unknown pre
parations, with no guarantee to sustain
thbin; when an established specrtic;
proven liv twenty years experience tb
bo exact!}'what it is claimed to Lo, is
within their reach, arc sure to repent
their liemerily. Many have done so in
this instance, but it is hoped thal the
truth plainly Spoken- has arrested Ibo
evil, lu the meantime the demand lor ll ie.
leading protective medicino ol' America
wasnevc-r so great as it has boon ibis sea
son. Prom the fever and ague districts
of the west, south west, rfiid south, it is
literally-overwhelming, and it iii ay bo
said ol the advices from all parts of the
curas lt ls effecting in dispepsia, bilious
complaints, : and chronic constipation,
that "thoir name is legion." Every?;,
whore thq sick and feeble seem to have'
realized the importance of;".holding fast
that which is goodj" and of avoiding
what is spurious and dangerous."
Tho numerous " Bitters," under vari
ous names, which mercenary dotdors en-,
deavor to substitute for Hostcttcr's Stom
ach Bitters, should bo avoided, for their
own 'sakes, Iry tho sick -ai>il public at
