In a recent article wespokoof tho importance
Of euch legislation as would promote economy in
every department of govorument. It has been
one of tho groat mistakos of the Radical party
lo pay tho eilizon for every littlo ecrvico ren
dorcd in tho namo of tho Stato. If a land
owner should bo required to pay his router for
overy nail he found it necessary to drivo, or for
ovory rift ito movod from a gully, or for ovory
rail he laid upon tho fonoo, tho rout would bo
consumed in sorvicc3 which tho renter should
render gratuitously, us costing him virtually no
thing and boucfiting him as much as tho land
lord. So, too, in government; there aro num
berless littlo services which cost nothing lo Ihe
citizen but a littlo trouble, and which, if paid
for by taxation, amount to a burden. These
littlo services wero in the past rondcrod by the
citizen without hopo or expectation of remune
ration, and as they woro distributed among tho
great body of the pooplo no ono felt oppressed
by thom or experienced any fooling of injustioe
by tho Stato in requiring thom gratuitously.
Take, the matter of Stato'B witnesses, and per
haps in a lifo limo a person will hardly bo
called on to testify in more than ono or two
caeos, nnd generally ho cither desired to como
to court, or being compelled lo como, he can
attend to some needed business, losing nothing
by his attendance. In giving pay to witnosses
of this kind a largo amount of monoy is annu
ally levied upon tho lox-pnycrs, amounting in
eomo eounticB to several thousand dollars. An?
other evil has flowed from the pay system, in tho
formation of a now employment among mon,
known ns professional testifying. This evil has
becomo common in cities with idle negroes who
hang nround tho law shops and profess to know
very much ?bout cases under trial to got their
fee as witnesses. Cities, too, know very much
about professional jurors who aro ever ready to
bo .summoned and to servo in trial justices'
courts. Wo* think all good citizens aro inter
ested in tho suppression of crime and in the
conviction of orimiuals, and that any citizon can
afford to testify in Slnlo cases without pay, and
especially in potty cases beforo a trial just ico,
where ho can go and return in tho day.
Hut abovo all things legislation is needed in
^tho matter of couuty government. The consti
tution should bo BO changed aa lo permit the
abolition of tho offico of county commissioners
and the duties now performed by them should
bo devolved on a numbor of boards as boforo
(hewar. Wo then had commissioners of tho
poor who wero eleoted by tho people, and com
missioners of roads, of public buildings and of
irco 8ohoo"s appointe*! by thc Legislature.
Theso four boards performed gratuitously all
?tho dutios now pertaining to tho office of county
commissioners ?md far more satiofaotorily.
Versons were compelled lo serve one (erm or pay
a fino, and very often tho 6crvioe was so light
and even pleasant that many persons continued
to fill theso positions fora number of years
without pay and without complaint. Tho rosult
of this system of all work and no pay was to
?ccu?o inen mn?!, nulo to givo their time, and
these were generally most competent to discharge
ibo dulled of the office. As it now is tho little
pay produces a contest for tho offico in which tho
best fitted persons will not engage.
Another result of tho old system was lo givo
to each board spcoifio duties, and these they
could attend to with littlo troublo and oxponso,
all taking pride in keeping overy thing in good
order.
Another result of tho system in tho cuso of
roads was thc selection of a commissioner from
every part of tho county, who being acquainted
with thc topography of his section, knew what
roads wore needed mid when and whero bridges
should bo built as well as tho rcasonablo cost of
them. If wo now had n commissioner of roads
in every township wo would not hoar of com
plaints against the opening of roods, or becauso
needed roads aro not oponed, nor at tho high
prices at which bridges aro let out. The local
commissioner would know tho probablo cost and
. ..p would contract accordingly, saving tho public
monoy. Wo would havo better roads and moro
durable bridges Tho public buildings and
poor would bo properly seen to at all times, for
their care would fall lo two soparato boards of
our bout oitizons, and knowing they had to servo
but ono term, they would strive to sec how well
?icy could manage for tho public Many would
tervo ovor and over again, for wo woll remember
ftat Robert Craig served as commissioner of tho
poor for twenty or moro years without pay.
In the matter of freo schools, the pay of tho
tommlssloncr would go to tho loaohers and
twell tho educational fund.

is poor policy to suffer the trade and travel c
a largo section of country to seek a nc
route of transit, but what is that policy whic
drives it into a new route? It may bc th
trado and travel from Walhalla and th
mountains nbovo do not fully pay the expene
of daily trains, but it should not bo forgotto
that thcro is an outcome in this section whic
renders it desirable to hold on to this moon

I) KAU COURIER-On the arrival of caoh mail
my neighbors gladly mcot you, as you aro full
of nows and usoful hints, uucli ns please aud
odify us.
Your "locals" afford us information in rofor
enoe to tho hopos and prospeotsof different sec
tions of Oconee, and Borve as a stimulus to in
creased exertion on our part to competo with
other localities in tho development of tho hidden
resources of this beautiful section of oountry.
Tho freshet of 1870 divested my banks of tho
wholo orup of ovcry kind, loaving my neighbors
in tho mouth of Juno nothing but gloom and
disappointment. My banks although covered
with a rich deposit, iu this deposit corn was
planted, which, in many plaoes, grew luxuri
antly, but failed to mature on account of tho
early frost of 1870, which loft my neighbors
with empty oribs and a fuir prospect for suffer
ing. Tho strictest economy in thc management
of tho littlo amount saved enabled my neighbors
to livo until this fall, and at tho same time (aught
thom that economy and frugality are tho grand
essentials in tho path to prosperity, lt also
taught thom not to murmur at Providential
calamities, as they oftou provo to bo rich bless
ings iu disguise. This is realized in tho crop of
1877, my banks being covered willi thc heaviest
crop of corn ever grown upon them. Cribs will
bo filled to overflowing, thus bringing my neigh
bors under renewed obligations lo be exceedingly
thankful for supposed calamities and for tuoh
rioh displays of Providential kindness. It
would do you good could you seo the cheerful
facos and hear tho songs of praise of tba farmers
as they gathor their crops, sow wheat, oats,
barley, rye and (lie grasses. All this indicates
to me that my neighbors will, with thc Hampton
System of government, rise from the ashes of
poverty to a place of peace, plenty and happi
ness.
I witness ovcry Sabbath many persons al
church and hoar Hcavon's messengers proclaim
peace on earth and good will to men. I also sec
tho little boys and girls wending their way to
school for tho purpose of qualifying themselves
to aot well their part in life's short journey.

A Gigantic Swindle,
KANSAS CITV, Mo., October 19.-A gigantic
swindle was brought to light yostcrday by tho
arrest of J. lt. Ham, Edward L. Stevens and
George W. Miller on a requisition of Governor
Hubbard, of Texas, charged with forging land
titles nnd issuing fraudulent deeds for largo
tracts nf lund in Texas. Tho scheme of fraud
was organized by liam and another person
named Thoa. Tullis, of Austin, Texas. Hum
lives hero, nnd through his persuasion Stevens
and Miller wero brought into it. Stevens,
who is a lawyer and a sou of Judgo Slovens,
of this city, is believed to have gono into tho
operation innocently at first by purchasing
14.000 acres of Texas lands from Ham; but
subsequently, becoming facinatcd by tho op
portunitics offerod for making money rapidly,
entorod freely into tho swindling conspiracy,
and was known in Texas as a Kansas City
lawyer. In order to hotter socoro tito succoss
of their plans, Ham and his confederates
caused to bc mado duplicate copies of nota
rial and other seals and piocurcd specimens
of signatures of numerous State officials of
Texas. They also caused to bo printed blank
forms nnd deeds necessary for their transact
tiens. AU titles nnd patents used by them,
and representing either tho general govern"
ment or Stato hinds, wore forged. An im*
menso amount of lund hus hoon conveyed by
them tuidor many different aliases, and lo
many different persons. About a year ago tho
attention of Gov. Hubbard was called to tho
minter, and on looking into it he was satisfied
that a monstrous swindle lind been perpetrated,
involving tho interests of both the Stato of
Texas and the United State*. Tho authorities
at Washington were notified of tho fuels du?
covered, and Special Agent Foster was sent
opt hero, whore ho obtained clues to olino e
implicated in thc swindlo, which have been
closoly followed ever tinco resulting in the
arrest of sixty persons simultaneously in va
rious parts of tho country who bolong to tho
f'nng. No less than thirteen court houses
DIVO been set on fire and burned during tho
past year to dostroy evidence that could have

OUTR AO ES NORTH ANO SOUTH.-Tho Newark
(N J.) Advertiser, ti strong Republican jour
nal, remarks that "outrages occasionally oc
cur nt the North willoh, if done ut thc South
would taint it throughout as savagely disor

the most revolting kind which was lately
applied at Waterford Penn., to a woman.
She tv a s taken from her bcd at night, tarred
and feathered, and ridden upon n rail for a

that, though a bad woman doubtless, a com-?
m lt ni ty which can permit such doings in its
midst, should bo relegated to heathendom, nnd
that Pennsylvania has too many blots upon
her naine ulready to permit of immy moro,
and especially in tho shapo of such outrages
