Every year: Lost Spring with sobs replying, Amnion's sighing, we love ?.re dying, Everv vear. The days have le: s of gladness, Every pear, Tho nights more weight ol'sadness, Every year : Fair Springs no longer charin ns, The winds and weather harm us, The threats of death alarm us, Every year. There come new cares and sorrows, Every year, Dark drys and darker morrows, Every year: The ghosts of dead loves haunt us, The ghosts of changed friends taunt us, j And disappointments daunt us, Every year. To the past go more dsad faces, Every year ; As the loved leavv vacant places, ' Even' year: Everywhere the sad eyes meet us, In the evening's dusk they greet us, And to come to them entreat us, Every year. " You a?o growing old," they tell us, " Every year ;" " You??re mere alone," they tell us, ^.Everyyear ;" "You can win no new affection, Y'ou have only recollection.

State and County Taxes. The taxes this year are due and paya, ble in two equal installments, the first in stallment payable from the 1st day of May to the 1st day of June, and the sec ond installment payable from the loth day of September to the .31st day of Octo ber. It is left to the option of any parson either to pay the amount of the first in stallment (one-half) at the time the first installment is due. or to pay the whole amount of his or her tax at the time the Istallment is due. If the first in si five per cent, on the amount of said in? stall m^nt is added when the whole is paid in the fall. In other words, and to make it plain, all who fail to pay the first in stallment in May will b-? Subject to a pen alty of U per cent, on the whole amount of his or h?-r tax; otherwise lhere is no penalty added. The whole of your tax can be paid at the first installment if it is desired. So far as Aiken is concerned, the selec tion of a nominee for Governor does not call for discussion. Gen. Johnson Ha good is the choice. The General is well known here, and his character is justly ad mired. No man ever knew Gen. Hagood do a mean act. either as a citizen, a soldier, or a State official. His record is clear, and his word is as gool as the bond of twenty ordinary politicians. With Ha good as our chief executive officer all will be weli-for the law will be executed. Rich and poor, white and black, will re ceive justice a.nd protection at his hands. The coming campaign will require a cool and a brave heart, land in these two re spects Gen. Hagood has no superior in the State.-Aiken Correspondence of Netts and Courier. The proprietorship of the Aiken Jour ral and Periew has passed by private sale from Mr. F. B.

Most of the murders committed are attributed to strong drink. The unveiling of the monument to the Confederate dead of Darlington, S.C., will take place on the first of May. General James Connor will deliver the oration. We learn from our Sheriff that the County Jail has been vacant for some weeks, no prisoner having been committed since the 10th ult.

Ta the Members ff the Legislature : MESSRS EDITORS: Piesse allow me : i a small apace in your columns to *?x prf-ss what, r trink 'is the feelings of ; South Carolina s disabled soldiers, in : regard to the ingratitude which onr j Legislature showed them at the last session. Last fall they passed an act j ;to give all disabled soldiers of the.' : State, artificial iimbs ; then requited ? ; of them to take *n oath that would exclude nearly all. At the extra ses- j sion, some one of the members, who ' was a friend to the maimed, tried to have the Bill amended so that all i might get legs ?nd arms, and it was j rejected, on the ground that theState j gave them leg.? and arms, during J B. F. Perry's Administration as Gov- j ernor, which cost seventy-five dol- ? lars each. Fi itu ls anti members of ?he Legislature, we gave our limbs to the State of South Carolina, aud we fought hard through many hotly con tented battles OM the frozm Lilis of Virginia and Tennessee, and rested upon our arms at night without a spark of fire, went through with all of the toils of c mp life, stood picket cany cold winter nights in BHOW knee deep and icicles hanging to our saps from 5 to G inches long : march id many times over the rugged hills md turnpike roads of Virgiuia into Maryland and Pennsylvania, half aarefooted and with sore heels. Those >vho had the luck to draw a pair of ihoes, when the army started to make i trip north, would have holes wirn brough the bottoms before the ar ny could get back to the base of sup dies. When asked to what R-g in-nt we belonged, we felt proud 0 say that we belonged to one of Ince South Carolinas Regiments iow we feel almo.^t ashamed to ?c nowledge that we belonged to one f her Regiments, as we feel that she as thrown us away, cares nothing for s, f ergot ten what we have sacrificed >r her. V\ e admit that our services as s 1 iers were duties that we owed to our i ountry, and alter discharging this nty and lobing our limbs, does not he fc'tate of Sou:h Carolin i feel th-it lie owes to us in a sense of honor, ! ?me gratitude fr representing her! 1 the late Confederate war. Many ?fcave large families to support, nd no other means of support than ur own labor ; and if we were des tute of an attificial limb, it would I most be impossible for us t) mike a ving. as all crippled are not educ i sd and profession il men. Now, to ie members of th . Legislature, who pposed the Bil! tot giving limbs to ll. Do you not think the leg or rm we gave to the State of South arolina is worth more to ns than ie artificial liu.b she gave to us, hich cost seventy five dollars, a';d Ould not last a 1 tb ) ing man longer ian five or six years without repiir ig ? If youlbink so, what will you ike for one of yours? And I ask DU who opposed the Bill, if that is ie sentiment of the p.opie of the )unties you represent? If so, we ould earnestly petition the miln ers, at the meeting of the next Leg lature, to cut off a scope ol country ir us, and colonize all of the erip led on ir, and let them have a gov rnment of thvir own, and call it the Dvernment of Carolina's cast njj' laiyacd. We believe, if our Confederate dead 3uld raise their beads and see what ou are doing, they would say : Give some to the living crippled, >r all that you do for us can do ue o good." And I would say to tne crippled of ie State, when it comes time for andidates to bud out in the Prima 7 l lection, if you should hear a atididate express himself as being pposed to giving limbs to the crip led, drop him from the rolls of can aUs of Primary Election. A man dio opposes such a thing, is not rorthy of the posi'ion he would oe- 1 ? upy in the Hails of the Legislature. | * )uring Radical administration, we xpected nothing. We helped to ght the fight of seventy-six through ae ballot box ; and the Democratt j " ave been in power for four long;* ears ; and the first lime we were; nought of by the Legislature, the j . esolution for giving us legs w is re- j. ;cted. Think of it, Members of the j legislature! How you would feel if ou were a cripp'ed soldier, and sa v ; ^ bat your St-ite cared nothing for 0 ou'.'

A ship sailed from Boston recently nth the usual cargo-eight hun Ired thousand gallons of rum and ne missionary. Johnson IIa good. [From the Sumter Watchman.) 'Some months ago, when a number ! ol' journals in the State were bring- ; iny ?-ut their candidates lor the nomi- | nation ol Governor upon the Demo-; eratic ricket in the eoirnng^po?it?cal ! campaign, we took Gcea?ion to say . that we had m our minds madeour se- ? lection, but did not think it wise to commence the hattie for his nomination so early. Since that declaration on our part, we have looked over the politi cal field many times for the purpose of discovering amore suitable man than the one we had fixed upon, if such can be found. We have carefully ex amined all the candidates that have been brought out by. others, we hav? thoroughly examined their qualifica tions and recommendations, and reach- j ed the conclusion that we had noterred in our origma! chcice. We now have the i h nor to bring out as our candidate j before the Democratic Convention for J the firHt, place on the State ticket, Gen. Johnson IJagood. ( It seems to us that a man of Gen. ? Hagood's stamp is just the need of the .imes. It would he silly to talk about ais arousing the enthusiasm that. Hampton ?roused in 1876, for he can lot do it. It is not in the man in ( -he fir-t'place, and int in the people in the second. Hampton limself could not elicit it now. . Snthuti tsm is ene ef those things i vb ich from its very nature must be ( hort lived. Th.i supply our people , las had was large, but the expend?- , ure wits most lavish, and there is but j ittle left in us !. r the struggle upon vhich we are just entering. So little, n fact, that we can in no way rely i pon it to carry us to victory in this 1 outest. We shall have to use other ^ nd entirely di fi?rent means and aethods in the present campaign rom those u?ed in lSTo, jf we expect ^ o succeed. Hurrahing in bannered processions, , 'tth beating drums and blowing oms were serviceable things in j leir time, but would be as stale as twice-told tale, if attempted again t lis year. They are fossils, as cam sign material io South Carolina, /hal our people need now is a lead- j r, who is quiet, shrewd, practical and -solute. We want a good organizer j nd disciplinarian. While we are r 3 determined as ever to win in the , attie, the wild enthusiasm has ex- j ended itself, and there j's no arous- i ig il ttgfcio. Wo i.o^d business like ^ lethods to carry us through safely ? lis time. An ! the people will re- s uire an assurance tba:, we have a i usin?es like man at the head ol f flf-tira lo inspire them wi< h confidence j nd set them earnestly to work, j [ow it. seems to us that Gen. Hagood hove nil others in the State is best ^ tteil by temperament, by education 5 nd by prestige to supply the demand j [ the times. If oui readers have ( ver looked upon Gen. Johnson IIa- ( ood's face, they need but little | inner evidence that he is the man j >r the place we have above cUscrib- < i. It speaks a language not easily , lisunderstood. "I die in the last | ireh," is written legibly upon it; ( nd his record as a soldier and politi- | il leader sustain the declarations of , is countenance. ( Ile is emphatically "a still worker" , -but not in a bad tense. Quiet, | rstematic and persistent labor to a xed end hus characterized his whole ' fe. His head is cool and clear, his I eurt is pui e and intrepid, his reso ltion is "otk and rock," and his en- i rgv and perseverance are boundless, i ?hen we see hi-* name a; the head of ur State ticket, we will feel that ictory for the Democracy is assured. LS Hampton was just the leader we eeded for a successful conduct of the impaign of 1876, so is Hagood for lat of 1S80. Hampton was the man j carty the enemy's entrenchments y storm. Hagood is the man to old them until the heavens fall. Then, when tue struggle is over nd Hagood is declared Governor of .'Utb Carolina, we can rejoice that 'e haveasour Executive one who will dminister such affairs as r.re placed nder his control with a firmness and n intelligence and dignity which rill command respect and confidence t home and abroad.

Grant and party, who were ^rougift in from the steamer dtp of Mexico, which arrived off the bar this after norm, by the revenue cutter McLean. As the cutter approached the city the Galveston Artillery fired a salute of twenty guns. At the landing the party was met by a committee and es corted to the Tremont Hotel, follow ed by a long procession composed of local military companies, the benevo lent societies and the fire department D? the city. After reviewing the pro ses^ion from the rotunda of the hotel ?ren. Grant returned to tue parlor ind held an informal reception, which was attended by a large number of adi?s and gentlemen.

The End of Tilden [Special to the New York Herald.] WASHINGTON. March 22-Demo rats here are congratulating them elves that they have in one respect ?ot fm ther along than the Republi ans. They consider their party rid f the Old Man of the Sea. Mr. Til len has pretty much ceased to be onsidered a possible candidate br hose who are most carefully watch ag the movements in the Democratic amp. He is no longer feared. The entiment. against his nomination roves so strong almost ever/where, ind particularly in the States where be Democrats have to look for their lectoral votes that with the two-thirds nie in operation h ia no longer a jrmidanle candidate. ''Tilden is as 'eak in our party," ? i 1 a Democrat ) your correspo dent, "as the ex resident is on the Republican side, f the Repu hi ?cans had the two-thirds ile in operation in their Conven* on'as we have in ours, the ex-Presi ent would not have the least chance 'nomination."

Never leless, it is generally believed here int he is industriously at work for mself, and that he still hopes to J mtrol the convention. His theory ' the fall canvass is said to be that ,3 Republicans will renominate the i-President and thus commit a cipi 1 fault; that this nomination will ,use a split in the Republican ranks id thus give the Democratsachance. id that thus it becomes worth while r him t) secure the nomination, e)ple who profess to ba acquainted ?th his opinion assert that he is con lent that the R-jpublicins will h?ve e fx-President forced on them, aad is, he believes, will give the DerjlQA ats a chance, or indeed almost a irtainly of victory.

Her?! is his opin on : Thisitan aetion brought in toe Trial -Tuitice Court to recover a quan ity ot stable ami lot manure made >y the-tbiendant upon a farm which te had jub-rented from Mr. Beat y, who was a te nan 5 of Mr. Jodfreyj who owned the laud s trusts?. The tenancy and aub-ten ncv were for the year 1879, and the ruatee made sale ?f the land to the ilaintiff in the beginning of D?cern er, 1879, between which date of onveysnce and the first day of Jan aty, 1880, the defendant haulel off he manure to another farm in the icinity. The main question in the burt below was whether this outgo igv tenant* as'againat the vendee, had rit?j? to the manure, or whether it eicfiged to and passed with the sim. Tie trial justice gave judgment for le plaintiff vendee for the delivery [ the manure, or fifty dollars asits aluein'case it cannot be delivered, 'he appeal to this Court brings up lis qiestion (or determination. The icta ?I the case are agreed upon and reseated to the Court in a written atenent forming a part of these roc<edings. lt is admitted that b*5 veea Mr. Godfrey and his tenant nd nib-tenant there was no cove? uni no. agreement in regard to the lature ; that it was made by de lei - ant in the usu vi course of husband r from the droppings of his stock Med with litter hauled from the oodland and with the shucks and >a-vines left by the animals.

So the question is, whether, under e laws of this State, an out going nant of a farm, has, as against a indee, the right to the minute made r the tenant, in the usial course ot lsbandry, in the stables and lots, om the ilroppings <>f stock miied i th woods' litter and the remiants long forage. -We have no statute upon the snb ct, nor have connpel been able to te an adjudicated case in point from ii reported decisions of our courts. re learn from the books that in New ?rsey and North Carolina the courts ive given this right to the out-go g tenant where there ia n) stipu tion to the contrary in the cove int of lease.

Bright Outlook for Cotton.

It is. j ivorth reading : "What a fight you are. making of t in New York against our strong )u!l tendencies here, which are the .esult of a state of trade in Manches ;er you do not fully realize.
