The value of all taxable real pro perty in the county is. $2,855,500. The value of all taxable personal property, as assessed by the present Auditor, is $1,076,400. Total value, real and personal, $3,931,900. This assessment is for the fiscal year 1877-8. The assessment of per sonal property for 1876-7, by the preceding Auditor, was $996,556 leaving a balance of 879,844 in favor of the present assessment. A tax of 10 mills on that-the probable tax of next year-would make $798.44 saved. That is saving No. 1. The number of polls assessed by the late Auditor was 2,159; by the present Auditor, 3,940-a gain of 1,781 polls, representing $1,781 saved. That is saving No. 2. Salary of the present Auditor, $600; salary - of his predecessor, $1,250. Saving No. 3, $650. Clerk hire under the present Auditor, $400; under his predeces sor, $750. Saving No. 4, $350. Present Treasurer's salary, $800 ; his predecessor, $2,500-difference $1,700. Saving No. 5. Total savings in one year, $798.44 -H$1,781 -4 $650 $350 -F $1,700, amounting to $5,279.44.

Norton Dead. Oliver P. Morton, U. S. Senator froma Indiana, died at his home in Indianapolis, the 1st inst. Senator Morton was born in Wayne County, Indiana, in 1823 ; graduated at the Miami University ; studied and practiced law ; was elected Circuit Judge in 1852; Lieutenant-Gover nor in 1860, becoming Governor in 1861, when Gov. Lane was chosen to the U. S. Senate ; elected Gov ernor in 1864; elected to the U. S. Senate in 1866, as a Union :Repub lican ; was re-elected in 1872. His term would have expired March 3, 1879. Morton was an extreme IRe publican and was popularly known as the leader of the "bloody-shirt policy." By his death the Repub licans lose one member and the Democrats gain one in the Senate. Gov. Williams will appoint a Demo crat to fill the unexpired term. Were the Judges Properly Elected ? The Constitution, Art. 2, Sec. 24, directs that in all elections by the General Assembly the members shall vote viva voce. But Art. 4, Sec. 13, provides that each Circuit Judge shall be elected by joint bal lot. All the judges now in office, except Judge Kershaw, were elect ed viva voce ; Judge Kershaw was elected at the last session by ballot. By Joint Resolution the General Assembly at its last session directed the Attorney-General to institute proceedings in the Supreme Court to test the validity of the election of those judges who were voted for viva voce. Accordingly the Attor ney-General has selected the case of Judge Shaw (Dem.) as a test, and the Supreme Court will decide the question at an early day. Cotton Market. Over 2,000 bales of cotton were sold in Spartanburg for the week ending October 27th, 500 being sold one day. The same week 2,148 bales were sold in Greenville, 519 in one day. Yet neither of these places is in the "cotton belt" and neither was known as a cotton market till a few years ago. The only explanation of these large sales is that both these places have superior railroad facilities. New The Treasurer's Salary. Retrenchment is right and pro per, but it ought not to be carried too far. We think the Legislature overdid the thing when they fixed the salaries of the County Treasu rers. The Treasurer of this Coun ty gets $800. That is not enough for the time, labor and responsibili ty that the position requires. Treas urers of Newberry County during the Radical regime got about $2, 500. That is too much, of course. The sum of $1,200 or $1,500 would be a reasonable compensation. While Newberry wants to be econ omical in her public affairs, yet she is willing to pay her public servants what their services are worth. And this is no doubt the sentiment of every County. It is cheering to note the signs of prosperity in different parts of the State, the reports of which come through accounts of success ful County Fairs. A community which can afford to devote its time, energies and money to enterprises outside their shops and offices, and which tend to the general advance ment, benefit and pleasure of the whole people, show an unselfish ness highly to be commended and that the expressed desire to reform and overcome past evils were not idle words. We are pleased to no tice that Anderson, Greenville, Ab beville, Union, Cheraw, Darlington and Orangeburg have proved that there is life in the old land yet, and that their citizens can work as well as talk. The Divorce Law. - The Keowee (Walhalla) Courier wants the Legislature to repeal the divorce law. In this State there are only two grounds for divorce adultery, and desertion for two years. The Courier says; "The Mosaic law allowed divorce for one cause only, and this we regard was abro gated by the New Testament."~ We don't propose to have a theological discussion with the Courier, but we believe that divorce on that ground is still in consonance with the Di vine law, and should be allowed by human law. That, however, is the only ground that justifies it. Property Qualification. A plan is on foot in New York to restrict the right of suffrage to those who pay tax on $500 worth of property or who pay an annual rent of $250. The measure is advo cated by the rich Republicans, who have held several public meetings on the subject. As the working classes and nearly the whole of the Democratic party are opposed to it, it stands little chance of being adopted by the Legislature. Patriotic. Adjutant-General Moise, during the campaign last fall, promised from the stump that if elected he would give a year's salary to the public schools. October 23d he gave the Superintendent of Educa tion his check for the balance of this year's salary. State News. . The Abbeville Press and Banner has been enlarged. The Baptist State Convention will meet in Greenville the 21st instant. Gov. Z. B. Vance, of North Caro lina, will attend our State Fair and make a speech. The evidence in the trial of Cardo zo closed Saturday evening, and the case was given to the jury. Col. J. F. Treutlen, of Columbia, has been appointed State Constable, vice Col. Win. Butler, of Aiken, re signed. T he Camden Journal and Gazette has been resolved into two papers again-the Camden Journal and the Kershaw Gazette. Hon. Ben Wood, of New York, has sold his interest in the Charleston News and Courier to Messrs. Rior dan and Dawson, who are now sole proprietors. CJol. Winchester Graham, chief clerk in the Comptroller-General's offiee, was killed on the C. C. & A. R. IR., near Augusta, the night of October 27th, by stepping off the train while in motion. Hon. ID. Wyatt Aiken has present ed a petition to Congress from citizens of South Carolina, asking for the re establishment of the office of Assistant Treasurer of the United States at Charleston. "CHLoRY" OAU-GHT.-ELIZABETHI C1Y, N. J., October 30.-The Chief of Police, last night, at Morristown, N. J., arrested L. Cass Capert, alias Carpenter, former editor and propric tor of the Columbia (S.

FOR THE HERALD. Our Washington Letter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 31, 1877. The political events of yesterday were the announcement of the House committees by Speaker Randall, and the presentation of nearly one thousand bills and resolutions in the House. The committees are in some sense a sur prise to all, but, to most, will be an agree able surprise. The personal feelings of -Mr. Randall are exhibited less than was thought probable in the composition of the important committees, and he has evidently done his best to put the working material of the House where it will do. the most good to the country. The chairmanships are on the whole judiciously distributed, though New England with five Democratic representatives gets none. I suppose that never before was such a number of bills and resolutions presented in one day. Another opportunity will not be had for a week, and numbers seemed to have thought the only hope of securing action on their measures at the extra session would be in presenting them as soon as possible. Among the more important of them was a bill appropriating money to aid in our representation at the Paris-Exposi tion next year; to revive the Alabama Claims Commission ; reducing rate of pos tage to two cents ; repealing tenure of office act ; for the removal of all political disa bilities ; to simplify existing laws for collect ing duties on imports ; making the Depart ment of Agriculture one of the Executive Departments; to repeal the act providing for resumption of specie payments ; to make U. S. Notes receivable for duties on im ports; and one appropriating three million dollars for the levees of the Mississippi River. In the Senate nothing was done. The Louisiana Senatorial contest, in Committee on Elections, promises to be very long and very bitter. Mr. Hayes yesterday sent in for confirma tion the name of E. WV. Stoughton as Mimiis ter to Russia. Thus, of the men who managed his case before the Electoral Com mission, three are in high office by his assistance-Evarts, Matthews and Stough ton. All the members of the Florida Return ing Board have Federal office from him, and also t.he two managing members -Wells and Anderson-of the Louisiana Returning Board. Th':s reform marches on ini the civil service. By the wvay, Evarts received his former appoi'ntment as Attorney-Gen:eral by reaaon of is defence of Andrew John son in the impeachment trial. The Senate confirms from day to day a few appointments that are not objectionable to any one, but has not commenced on the main body of them. Representative Foster, of Ohio, says that he and Hale, of Maine, are the parties who caused Republicans to gather two or three times at the house of Secretrry Sherman to agree upon means of averting open rupture in the House. The resolution endorsing the policy of 'Hayes wvas not offered yester day in' the House,- though it was thought some Democrat would offer it. Many Demo crats, as well as the Republicans, seem to wish the resolution kept back. The population of this district is about 140,000 ; its property, at a high valuation for assessment purposes, is put at ninety millions of dollars; its debt, bonded and floating, is nearly if not quite thirty millions. New York with seven times our population, a hundred times oar wealth, and a thousand times our trade, has only 'a debt between three and four times as large as ours. Our debt was created by Republican appintees of Grant, and not by men elected to office by our citizens. We wish it inquired into at the earliest possible day by Congress. This morning Mr. Hayes and party started for Richmond, where the people have pre pared to receive him grandly. There is to be an election in Virginia, but as there are no Republican candidates in the field, there is no one who remembering Ohio, might object to the trip. His presence cannot defeat a Republican party where no such party exists. In the winter he goes to New Orleans. SOLON. FOE THE HERALD. SMOKEY TowN, Nov. 3, 1877. DEAR HERALD: The farmers have been quite busy gathering their crops, such as King Cotton, corn, peas, and making the sorghum and putting in the oats. Cotton, corn, pea and sorghum crop are good. Some of the farmers have made one bale of cotton per acre ; corn is exceedingly good, one young farmer making thirty-five bushels of corn to the acre on poor up land ; that is good for high. That young farmer is making a high strike-wants to be joined in wedlock's sweetest joy. You will not be surprised to hear of his mar riage and that soon, as marrying seems to be all the go now-a-days in Smokey Town. The farmers are all in lively spirits and hope to be better off yet, as we have but one more carpet-bagger holding forth in Newberry County, and certainly he will hand in his resignation. The sweet potato crops are very good, I think. Mr. Boland has the largest I ever saw ; so large that 'he had to prize them out of the row with a rowbar. Some one said he had to drive iron spikes in them, put a lock chain round 'and get his good neighbor Wise's yoke of oxen to draw just or.e up to Brown & Moseley's Steam Mill and have it ripped up before it was ready for family use. So your readers can imagine what the size was. That potato takes the shine off Mr. Longshore's potato. Mr. B. is a good far mer, but he is better on raising potatoes than anything else. He is running a tan nery and he is a splendid tanner and makes that and potatoes specialties. Mr. Gromer lost nearly all of his potatoes by night walkers. But what signifies the loss of a few in such potato country as this ? If any of your up-country farmers want to get any of them for seed for next Spring they had better send in their orders at an early date, while the roads are firm. I tell you, dear Ed., we have a good old time down here. 'You shall hear again after the potato crops ar properly housed. 0. K. We would like much to see some of those potatoes. Seeing is believing. ThE SOUTUERN CULTIVATOR for Novem ber is in no whit behind former numbers, but if anything in advance, and is an agricul tural paper of first rate merit, and one which n farmer, if he would keep up with the times. can do without. The present number FOR THE HERALD. SHADY GROVE, NEAR BATESBURG, Oct. 29th, 1877. We have just returned from a very fa vorite spot of ours in the -piney-woods, known as Bartley Spring School-house, where we had the pleasure of meeting our good old friend and brother Mark Boyd, who preached for us there on Sunday morning and evening to a very large and attentive congregation. Uncle Mark was full of the Holy Spirit's power, and preach ed with much liberty. His sermon in the morning was full of love and sympathy, and will doubtless prove to many a savor of life unto life. Evening services were full of pathos; six were added to the Church; penitents bowed at the feet of Jesus and cried aloud for mercy ; many were made happy in a Saviour's love, and with their faces radiant with the sunshine of a glorified Redeemer, proved to the world that there is a reality in the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ; and while this good work was going on we were not sur prised to hear the voice of the good old veteran of the Cross above all the rest praising his Master for the manifestations of His Holy Spirit. Bartley Spring School house is surely a favorite spot, not only with us but with many others who repair there Sabbath after Sabbath for the purpose of receiving the benefits of thn. gospel and to learn more of the meek and lowly Jesus. 'Tis situated near Capt. Werts', on a beautiful hill, and is surrounded by huge oaks and pines-an excellent place to build a church. We hope the good people will use all diligence in raising money for that purpose. We thank Uncle Mark for his visit, an' say to him, we will not forget it soon and hope that he will come again. C. A. J. He had not slept a wink for twenty four hours, coughing all the time. His sister bought a 25 cent bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup at the nearest drag store, gave him a dose, and the cough was broken at once and he slept quietly during the night. The Russian Court invited Dr. Ayer and his family to the Archduke's wed ding in the Royal Palace. This dis tinction was awarded to him not only because he was an American, but also because his name as a physician had become favorably known in Russia on its passage round the world. [Pueblo (Col.) People. ECONOMY IS WEALTH, Poor Richard says. If this be true, then it is wise in every family to use Duryeas's Satin Gloss Starch in preference to any other, be cause it is the most economical ever manu factured in the world. It is the most econom ical because it is the best; it is the cheapest because it is the best. It is purer, whiter, and stronger than any other starch. It has received the highest award over all competi tors in the four quarters of the globe. Don't be deceived by your grocer. Ask for Duryeas Improved Corn Starch for food, and Duryeas Satin Gloss Starch for laundry purposes, and take no other.

It is only now and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov. Brown of Ga., endorse a medicine for throat and lungs, and when they do it is pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lng affections. They recommend the GLOBE FLOWER COUGH SYRUP, and their testimo 'als are to be seen round the ten cent sample bottles of the Globe Flower Syrup, for sale by all druggists in Newberry. A sample bottle relieves the worst cough and will ure sore throat. Regular size bottles, fifty doses, $1. A VERlY GOOD REASON. The reason why only one sample bottle of MERELL'S IIEPATINE for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Druggists, is because of the enormous e-pense of importing the Hlepatine into this country; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough after all for a medicine that cures dyspepsia and liver complaint.
