?orty Acrea and a Mule.
This trite elcctioncring fraud has received
a now version, and will bo held out to tho
deluded negroes in the coming campaign as a
tempting bait to sccuro tho re-election of tho
prcseut corrupt leaders of tho Radical ring.
Tie Senator from Richiami, BEVERLY Nash,
in a speech at Gadsdcn, declared that the pres
ent taxes were not high enough, aud pointing
to tho lands and buildings around him said :
"Why, this is our property; wo earned it;
we've never got anything for our work ; and
the only way to get what belongs to us is to
tax theso fellows for lands, schools and all
that." In other words, he advocates the tax
ing of the" laud owners so heavily as o force
their proporty into market. This is tho cor
roofc version of the principles of the party, and
is implicitly endorsed by its organ, tho Re
publican. That 'paper, quoting tho remnrk,
Bays it would liko to heftr Judge Carpenter
discuss this question with tho "Common-sense
Senahw from Richland." Every ono must
know that heavy taxes impoverish the entire
community, and tho rioby man's profits' and
poor man's wages aro alike" swallowed up.?
Tho instinct of tho ebieken tcochos it bcttoi
than to soratch for food on a cloy root. S<
too, tho common sense of the most illiterate
will show them that their labor will bo mos
remunerativo when general wealth and pros
ferity prevail. Heavy taxes necessitato bigi
"? yente and low wages, and tho laborer, tin
weaker party, su/fera first and most. Tlx
. rents of farm tri usi /pay tho tax on jt, a fail
rr.t?' of* interest on tho investment, and tin
necessary cost of tools, repairs, &c. With luvt
taxes, h third of tho crop will do ?hin. In
' orease the taxes and th? rent must likewise
iooreaso. Again, all,men expeot to acetumi
Jete property. They labor to this end, and
they should rcfleot that publio extravagance
is an eneojy to their efforts, and if they sue
oeed, to iho enjoyment of tho fruits of their
labor. Senator Narh and other offioo holders
will dou.btIei& grow, fot, in flesh, aud pookct,
r;ut their delodod followers wil| -drink daily
of the cup of poverty and wretchedness.
The Reform Movement.
"Truth is powerful und will prevail.
Whether tito oandidatcs of tho reform party
bo elected or defeated, tho movement will uot
bo unfruitful of go. to tho State. Alroudy
the organ of the f .rty in power Ins issued its
Rull .declaring that reform is needed in many
things, and setting forth a. plut form of prin
ciples unobjectionable in honesty and patri
otism. Will ttio party adhere to these prom
ises to repent aud amend their ways '( "With
their mouth they show much love, but their
heart goeth after their covetousness." The
rooord of tho past two years pronounces tho
condemnation of tho party, and the falsi
ty of their promises, if we'judge thorn by
their fruits, we must find them guilty of cor
ruption, extravagance and dishonesty in high
places. If we test them by their principles
enunciated in tho platform put forth by the
organ of the party, we find scarcely a prin
cipio not already violated. .Dishonesty in
oi??co is declared a crime. Monopolies aro
denounced. General education is to be fos
torcd. The expenditures of tho government
must bo reduced to the lowest possible Ogurc.
The iutcrcst on tho debt created by the de
mocratic party must be paid. The first p.rin
ciple is all right and nothing bettor ill us >
trates th? radical ? idea of a proper punishment
for the crime, than the ro'olection of WlIIT
te.more to Congress. The second is exem
plified in the granting exclusive privilege to
a company tor dig and mine phosphates in
this State. General education is to bo pro
moted by allowing seventy five cents por head
for the education of each child, and giving a
commissioner $1000 to sign his naino to a !
few certificates of teachers. Tho reduction of
public expenditures reminds us of the Lord
w ho marched up tho hill and then "down
agai ti. After increasing tho expenses of the
State government Jfnlly thrco fold in two
years, the party now talk about retrenchment.
And to onp the climax of impudent bravado
they talk of the Stato debt created by the
democracy. very one knows that the debt
of six millions aL tho close of tho war was tho
shortcomings of out existence of ninety years.
That at the time of its creation the property
of the State was worth (ivo hundred tu i i I ton s
of dollars, and a percentage equal to that
levied hist year would in two years settle tin
entire debt. That after throe fourths of the
property of the country had been lost by the
lato., war, the present parly" ill t\V0 ycaVS
doubled the debt, triblcd tho expenses of
the government of wealthier days, and now
has the effrontery to call itself tho govern
meut of tho poor man. It is in truth the
government of the poor' man, for its course
leads to universal poverty, aud its contiti
uancc. We say let the radical party stand
or full by the record of its own past.
I Ty \&~ Tho S. 0. iffipublican, coin ment
ing on the action of the House of Represen
tu ti ves j in refusing to admit VVlllTTKMonii to
I a sentili that body, says: "It was simply a
condemnation of WlWTTEMORE, ami could
be nothing more inasmuch, as his election
was no endorsement of his act, that "the do
cisi?n right or wrong was rendered by a con
stituency as honest as any in the land, and
with a thoroughly conoientious purpose to do
that whioh is just and best." Was the act of
WlIITTE.MORB a crime '! Was he so ignorant
as not to know it was wrong, and to entitle
him to acquittal on the ground of moral in
sanity ? Is Congress tho keeper of the con
sciences of the constituency of WlIlTTBMORK.
So that his statement that leading men has
declared the action of that body unparalleled
in haste and severity, should secure his re-el
ection ? If the first propositions he true,
then ?V?dTTEMORE was both unworthy and
incomp?tent for the high trust to which he had
once been elected. If the last be true, then
his constituents arc incapable of a proper ex
ercise of the ballot. TUey should have
viewed and weighed tho act for themselves
without tcgard to the views of Congress, feel
ing that the|r decision would be a condemna
tion or ncquitul of the crime charged. It is,
and will ever be viewed ns such by all unpre
judiced minds. It is true, the Republican
did not endorse Wiu ri"emore, neither was
he the nominee of that party, but no one can
doubt or deny but he owes his election to
that party.
A PatNEUTj affair.?Yesterday after
noon, in this city, Mr. W. 11. M out) oo, U. S.
Deputy Marshal, proceeded to arrest, under a
Warrant for violation of Internal Revenue
Laws, Mr. A. J. Ward, (a resident of the
upper pait of this -County,) who is familiarly
known as "Jack Ward," when a very painful
difficulty occurred, of which wo have had
several- Versions, and dcein it advisable to re
frain from giving further particulars than the
follow i rig, leaving it to tho evidence of the
Court to establish the important facts of fho
! case. During the attempted arrest, which, it
appears, was met with resistance and offert to
- escape, the Marshal fired four times with a
r pistol at Ward, three of the shots taking of
} feet?one in each thigh and one in a more
painful pait between. S'il! continuing his
* effort to escape, having ran about halfa mile,
t the Marshal obtained assistants to effect the
- arrest, and one of those hurled a rock of so
? much weight and with such force ns to break
j the left thigh of Ward, whose (light was thcro
by stopped, he Saving also rctfcivedftfrnotu.ro
J of several of Ins fingers. Tho unfortunate

the task in despair, and shall only {'elect
some of the principal points. Tho number
opens with a short and interesting sketch of
Air..Peauody, illustrated with a handsome^,
portrait of that great philanthropist, This is
followed by an able article on the value of Su

followed by very elaborate and interesting
essiy on guano and its uses. Two articles

worthy of special mention, aud Col. i ken

amount of val nublo correspondence, numerous
contributions on different subjects, und the
editor's in valuable notes and suggestions help
to innko up an .amount of rondin g matter
which will correspond favorably with the eon

of un Ayishiro cow, a full size wood cut of

Wanted.?A Washington correspondent
of tho Ruit i moro Gazette states that Holden
requires 15,000 troops; Rlodgctt and Rub
lock 20,000 ; Scuter, 20,000 ; Scott, of
South Carolina, thinks 10,000 will do for tho
present for his State. An effective force is
also wanted in Florida, Mississippi, Arkan

in the Senate, (Mr. Hamilton,) could give
