Bundy, the colored man who shot and killed Annie lleckman, a white woman of bad repute, At Spartnuburg, March 6, 1885, wan hung in the Spartanburg county jail last Friday, the Oth. To the last moment 'lie claimed that he had no recollection of the murder. Not for a moment did he appear to have any dread of death. number of complaints ha7e been I made that pnekages of Inst week's Times did not reach their destinations. Two of the packages, Cold well and Coleraine, were directed wrong by the mailer in this office, and we will try and avoid n similar error hereafter, but how other packages wero misplaced or lost we cannot find out. All that we know about them is, they were sent from this office to the Postoffice. IVc are authoritatively informed that I the Southern Express Company have made considerable reduction in the4r rates for the transmission of freight and money. Formerly, the charge for freight from this point to Charleston was SI.To per 100 lbs, now it is only $1.10; and the rate for monoy to Charleston has been reduced from SI.23 per ?1,000, to SI per 61,000. The rates to other points are reduced in proportion. The reduced rates went into effect on the 1st of July lost. ^ In the State Convention Col. McKisaick I epector General, and received a number of votes.' In speaking of this, the Editor of the JVrtce and Courier; "who was a member >of the Convention says s ! Col. McKisaick's popular strength is not to be measured by the declared vote in the Convention, as ho was put in the field in the last moment, nnd many votes cast for him were changed before the result was officially announced." 1 We have reasons for believing that if Col. MoKlsBick had allowed his name to be used, at I the opening of the Convention, ns a candidate for that office, he would have been elected. A New Postmaster. i Mr. J. C.

There appears to be a strong desire for a compromise upon the question of freo tuition ] in the South Carolina Collego, but it is difficult ) to arrange a basis upon which such compro- j raise shall be made, hence a wide breach con- i tinucs to exist between those who favor free < tuition aud those who have heretofore vigorously i opposed it. There is, however, wo are pleased ( to say, a spirit of concession growing in "both i parties, provided a middle ground can bo found . upon which both may stand with satisfaction to "^r. .

I'recisely as we predicted, the Ball at Santuc ist Friday night was indeed a splendid affair. l bad been our intention to attend the Ball rer since we received the invitation of the ommittee and we carried out our intention by oing down on Friday evoniog. By nine 'clook the "beauty and chivalry" of Santuc, 'airfield, Union, and the surrounding oountry tad gathered in the spacious and roomy Uall, mown as the "Santuc Ilall," and when the drains from the magnificent band rang out hrough the llall, and the sweot lassies and landsome lads "tripped 'he light fnntastio," ho scene almost made us thiDk that wo wort n fairy laud. The good people of Santuc, irho are notod for their liborality and hospiality, surpassed themselves in the meri^ time hey afforded the young people on this occasion, tnd in the hearts of all wo are sure that th< remembrance of this Ball will be laid nwaj lever to be forgotten.

ScRAnso.?Kdward Shepcrd, of Ilarrisburg, 111., says: Having recited much benefit from Electric Hitters, I eel it my duty to let suffering humanity know t.

I sod, instead, three botires of Eleolrio Hitter* nd scvon boxes Duoklen's Arnica Salve, and ty leg is now sound and well."

I The solution of the frbe *lultie?k4^|ytion seems to hinge upon harmonizing th<r two i points, i. who aro able to pay, and shall the . number of free students bo limited, i As we would extend the benefits of higher education to tho largest number possible, we 1 are decidedly in favor of an unlimited admission of free students, after strict examination a as to character and advancement in prescribed 1 studies. As fo who are able to pay, we would suggest h that it be decided by the tax book. Parents who pay taxes upon, say, $2,000 or over, or d minors whoso property is asscssod, for that amount, may not be entitled to frco tuitioii in n the Stale College, but all others, sons of citizens or orphan residents of tliiaj vtlalc, h to be admitted to tho College freo of oharge for tuition, after passing the necessary, ox&mih nation. We further hold that as the State College is supported by the heaviest ,tnx payers s in the State, they have a just claim upon its benefits, and the tuition feo should lie as low as is a proper regard for the efficiency of the igsti union win pcrmu. 8 Understand us, we do not ofTcr this compromise wiih the idea that it will reduce the taxes A' . i- of the poor people, for wo do not believe it will; but we find a growing belief in Die winds of many, who claim to be of the poorer class, that "the rich people of the State arc getting is from the State College something that they, do not pay for,'* and we offer it for what it is h worth. We further refer our roaders to the conimunicatiou in another aolutnn over the signature of "Truth," showing how little the the College and Citadel both cost the poor people to maintain, in comparison with the vast n amount of good they nro doing to all classes and cpnditious of our citixens. . ? - a Will there ?

We arc informed that a demand lias been !" made by Secretary Bayard for the release of Cutting, but refused by Mexico, and the two governments are now in correspondence upon the matter. We recognize and appreciate the ^ gravity of the principle involved, and have no fear tbnt the dignity nnil honor of the United "States will be compromised in the least by q President Cleveland and his Cabinet ; but gotting upu war between two countries now-a-days ( involves more diplomacy and more serious ' cause than it did somo years ago.

Euitob:?By wild assertion, oar people ) bsvo been led to beliove that if the State Legls- ( laturo could only be filled with men of cconoan- i ical views, that taxes, State and County, would i be considerably reduced?probably one-hslf, or < at the very least, one-fourth. Those who make t such promises may be called upon hereafter to explain why tho promises have not been fill- 1 filled; why taxes have not been materially less- J encd. For a little thought and study I will show , thai this burden of taxation must still longer be borne by our people. Our railroad bonds < will require four'mills tax lbr interest add 4 gradual retirement. Our county expenditures , cannot be rcduoed below the amount realised < from a three-mills tax. Rich nnd poor must pay two mills for tho commod school education 1 of our children. Quarantine, elections, salaries, legislative expenses, and other disbursements i will still be required. The Lunatio and Muta Asylums cannot bo maintained for less than $100,000 a year, and, for seven years to corns, $400,000 are needed to pay interest on the publio debt. The wildest promises of the rashes! reformers have not suggested retrenchment except in , the following particulars : legislative pay, salaries of officers, State houso completion; Columbia Canal, College and Citadel. ^ Turning to the Comptroller-General's report of November 1, 1885, wo find that the per Siem of members and salaries of employees for the General Assembly aggregate 880,932. lledacc this by 25 per cent, and we will have a saving of $7,783. The salaries of all officers paid out of llie State Treasury aruouut to $190,2U6 reduce this by 25 per oent., nnd we bare a further saving of $40,074. Let the valuable property known as the State House be permitted to become permanently Injured ibr want of completion nnd wo will have a further saving of $75,000. Stop tbo Columbia Canal where it is, nssumo that two hundred convicts work there every day, and that every convict so employed could be hired out at $12.50 a month, and there will bo a further saving of $40,000. Retain the two-mills tax of the rich man to help educate the children of his poorer neighbors, b?t withhold the one-twentieth of ono mill tax which goes (it is said) for the benefit of the rich man's sons only?that is, shut up the College?and we havo $15^000 less of taxes to pay. Abolish the Citadel?that school where the very poorest boy of our county can obtain a firstclass education without a dollar's expenditure of money?and we liavo a saving of $20,000. Add theso savings together : Legislative expenses $ 7,730 00 .Salaries 40,074 00 State llouso 75,000 00 Canal 40,000 00 College and Citadel 35,000 00 Total $200,807 00 Whatever inay be asserted?whatever any individual or the majority in Union county may wish?no Banc man believes that a legislature will ever assemble in South Carolina that will lop off all of the above expenditures. Bijt assume that thoy will all bo withheld, nnd that no now appropriations w.ill be made for census, Farmers' College, or other purposes ; then, the tax of $841,525, levied in 1885 for State purposes, will be reduced to $034,718 in 1887, a reduction in Slate taxes of twenty-five j>er cent. ftjnlon County In 1985 paid $47,500 to the tax -1.- .?.l.i ?nr.n -mm , h> -"vi, ??v "?um pujr ?r?o,VOV. The taxpayer who paid $88 in 1885, would pay would be reduced to $40.37, aud (liat of $i6.60 to $1-1.12?a reduction of nine per cent. Will tbo taxpayer consider eueh a reduction a fulfilment of the promises and pledges that lie so freely hears to-day 7 And yet it must bo admitted that the pruning-knife of retrenchment can go no deeper?cannot, indeed, go so deep. Truth. Thorough Democratic Principles. 11. M. Stokes.?I enclose a eery concise statement of thorough Democratic principles, as given by Jefferson himself, in his inaugural i address, hoping you will insert it in tbo earliest J number of the Times. I suppose no one will doubt the wisdom of Jefferson, the greatest statesman the United States ever produced, with up* <>r two exceptions. Though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable : the minority possess thoir equal rights which equal laws mu9t protect, and to violate which would be oppression-' 'Having banished from our land that relig| ious intolerance under whioh mankind so long | bled and suffered, wo have yet gained little, if we countouance a political intolerance as despotic, and capable of as wicked and bloody persecution.' 1 believe this the strongest government on earth. 1-believe it the only one where every man at the call of the laws would fly to tho standard of the law, and would meet invasion of the public order as his own personal concern. Sometimes it is said that men cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he then be trusted with the government of. others 7 Or have we found angels in tho form of kings to govern him?' 'A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from inim-in- ? -?* ? - ...... ...j?..u8 vuc nuuuier, una which shall leave them thoroughly free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.' 1 'Equal and exact justice to all men, of what- i ever state or persuasion, religious or political ; poace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations?-entangling alliances with noue ; the support of the state govcrumonls in all their rights as the most competent administrations for our domcstio oonoerns, and the bulwark against anti-ropublican tendencies; the preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor as tho sheet anchor of our ppaoa at home and sAlety abroad ; a jealous care of the 1 right of election by the people?a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution where peaceful remedies are unprovided ; absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority?the vital principle of republics from which there is no appeel i but to force, tho. viul principle and imme- ( diatc parent of dospotism; a well disciplined militia?our best reliance in penoe and fpr the 1 first moments of war till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority ; economy in public expeditures, , that labor may ho lightly burdened ; the honest payment of our debts and sacred preservation of ' the public faith; cnoouragemenl|of agriculture, 1 and of commerce as its handmaid; the diffusion < of information and tho arraignment of all abases | at the bar of public reason ; freedom of religion ; , freedom of tho press ; freedom of person under the protection of tho liabeai corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles should be the croed of our political faith, the I text of civil instruction, the touchstone by which i to try the services of those we trust; and should t we wandor from tbem in moments of error or ] alarm, lot its hasten to retrace our steps, to re- i gain the roal whioh alone leads to peace, lib- i erty, and safety.' 1 At a meeting of the Democratic Executive ?
