Upon the subjeot of taxation a num ber of important decisions havo recently been made by the Supreme Court of the United States, One of thorn denies the right of the State to tax imported goods in the original packages, on the ground that the-right of importati? earricu with it an unrestricted right to sell the goods. Another deouion demos the right of tho State to tax national property or the national credit in the form ol the public debt, tho grouud U keu being that tho right to tax implies tho right to destroy. Another decision dcclures that for purposes of Stato taxa tion the port of registry is the domicile of the vessel. The power of a State to tax bills of hiding, or any form of com mercinl paper passing between the States is denied, hence it is a restriction on domestic commerce. Another decision denies tho extra territorial operations of tho tux laws oT the State, it boing do dared that a S ate has no right to tax a corporation ou its shares, bonds or cou pens which are held outside tho State.

On hearing the c omplaint in tho above case, supported by sworn affida vits, alleging the utter unconstitutional! ty of these scrip, on the ground that notwithstanding the confession of avoid ance endorsed thereon, their issue wan against the constitution of the State and the United States.

The scrip above refercd to is that recently , issued iu payment of the ing its issue provided that it should be receivable in payment of tuxes, and upon that assurance a lurgc amount of it bus. we understand, beeil recently bought by our citizens ut prices varying from eighty to ninety cents on the dollar. K the injunction ^i? finally sustained then all who have bought this scrip will, in plain english, have been swindled out of their money. Of course our remarks, huve no refcieucc to Judge Cooke?he has but to decide what the law is not how it should be. The law levy:rig the tax for thn pre sent year was passed but a few days ago. Under the old law, passed several years ago, but still of lorec. a penalty of 20 per cent attaches o all tuxes which arc u t paid ou or before the 15th instant ? just five days from to day. Tho Legis lature has adjourned and will not re convene until the 20, so, that before any law can be passed to help the tax payers out of iheir difficulty the penalty will have already accrued. Wo trnst that this condition of things was an oversight nn the part of our law makers. It it was they can soon con vince us after the 20th, by providing for the refunding of tho penalty to those who havo paid up, and by rebating the penalty and giving a reasonable extension of time to those iu default. Mr. Duncan of this County hus, we learn declared his intention to introduce a bill in the Lower Iloust for the pro tection of the taxpayers in this matter, and we sincorly hopcu that he will. The poor, hardworking men of tho Republican Party arc opening their eyes gradually and we intend to help them all we can. Does the Legislature moan to stand by them or uot ??wo shall soon know. Are they to havo a penalty of one ??h added to their high taxes j without having a fair opportunity to kuow when the taxes are to be paid and without 'having hud half an oppor tunity to raise tho money ? This is a fair, square fight between the Legislature and tho poor man?the ordered man especially. Aud we mean to stand by tho poor man through the wholo of it. Many of our taxpayers are unable to read?many livo in quiet parts of the Country nt distance from the Towns-? aud it takes a long time for tax notices and suoh matters to reach them. If the Legislature intoudt to com pel these peoplo to pay a heavy additional tax for not knowing what thoy aro unable to know?in other word if tho Legislature docs not meau to give the unoducotcd and poor man as fail a showing as it gives to the rich and educated land-owners?why then we have to say that every man from this county who votes fin tLat way will do woll to look for a living olscirhcro than in politics.

A ready writer, and fluent speaker, he has often entertained us to our heart's content. He has just put us under obligations, which wc grateful ly and publicly confess, by writing the best New Year editorial wo have seen yet. As such wo reproduce it and with the more pleasu/o, whithal, because bo has exactly anticipated what wc wanted to say. Hear him : "This is tho grc at visiting day, when everybody is out visiting, and we shall be out too, com bining business with pleasure, and loaded, not with fancy cards, but with certain antiquated b'.lN, over which the pusillanimous spider has ku kluxed the fugacious fly ; for lo ! these many days. Some of these bills we have sent to the blacksmish, to have the barna clcs, knocked off, viel armis, others of them aro curious specimens of "hope long deferred," and as such, will bo ap preciated by the amateur debtor. All of them will bear theimniom orial greet ing, "A happy New Year," and an auto graph which we hope will be worth something before the noxt timo. While wc grimly meditate on theso things, the o'.d year, with whom wo have spent many a jolly hour, and whoso friondly baud we grasped iu its freshest niau hood, is dying away out thcro in the moonlight, with uo hospital steward about him, aud no one else to make him afraid. It is sad to think that th e gen ial old follow has come to die. Ho, who brought us iu his generous hand the warm spring, and laid it, like a blush ^|gBl^PHfP"ffo^!i?d _wJUj_^y.v^aJH flowers, at the door of all of us, rich and poor alike. He who brought the l ab ?r ing summer to mature the waving grain aud make tho bountiful harvest, an 1 whose sweltering brow he cooled at eventide with the dolioious breathings of the mountains. He who brought t he autumn, and poured into her broad lap flowers and leaves and fruits and pro ducc of tho earth. Hut he mado an awful mistake when he brought us tho winter, with the puuic aud bard times, its cold cloudy days, its dreary rainy nights, its floppy slipshod ways, its want, suffering and crime, and nobo dy but old Kris Kringle to comfort us withal. If, therefore, tho old follow will insist upon dying iu this style, we will have to go back on him, and turn to meet the stranger?tho Happy Now Year. W c hope he brings joy and peace to every lr arthstonc.?Aiken Tribune. Polyandry in India. There is a tribe inhabiting tho Nil girbi hilts in India called Todas, who see ms to have presscrved thomselves unconlaminated freni the rest of the world for thousands of years. The Pall Mali Gazette, says thoy appoar to be an inoffensive hill tribe, devoid of all decency and morality, who have been driven from the lowlands by tho con stant wars. Among their other pecu liarities is tho practice of polyandry which prevails among them, and appar ently works to tho satisfaction of all concerned. A husband and wife aro betrothed, dowries being exchanged bc twectl the husband and the father of th? bride. After marriage, without any rites or ceremonies, but with the appro val of parents, and in full cognizance of the villngo community of relatives, tho wife accompanies her husband to his own house. If the husband hasbrothors or very near relatives all living together, thoy may each, if both she aud he con sent, participate in tho right to be con sidered her husband also, on making up a share of the dowry that has been paid. Younger brothers, as they grow up to maturity, and other brothers, as they becomo widowed, uiny each cither take separate wives or purchase shares in those already in tho family. Any do grco of coinplicntioh in perfectly lawful wedded life may now bo met with?from the sample of the single man living with a singlo wife to that of a family of rela tives married to a group of wives. All their children are hold to bo brothers aud sisters. In poor districts several men have to be contcut with one wife between them, but? as women bocomo more numerous a greater proportion of tuen arc able to procure a wife apiece. thinks cou lccjuimcnd ho arrives The State of South Carolina, ORANGEBURG COUNTY. Januauy Tkb?I 1874. To the. Horn R. F. Graham Circuit Judge: Thu Grand Jury of tho present tonn beg leavo, respectfully, to report as fol lows : That thoy havo visited tho several public officors of tho County aud from the investigation made, they were satis fied, that so far hs the keeping of their books and papers, the soveral offices, seemed to have discharged their several and, respoctivo duties in this respect with neatness and order. The Grand Jury have had no com plaints from the citizens of the County made to them against any officer irregu larities in the discharge ef their several duties may and docs doubtless exist, but without the attention of the Grand Jury was particulary called to the fact, it would take more time than is usually allotted to tho Scs.von of the Court to go over the vurirus books of these officers. They also visitod the several public buildings:, the Poor House the Grand Jury found* in very good condition, they fouud as regular inmates of the Poor House four persons. They appear to bo well cared for and contented? except in the matter of clothing, some of the inmates saying that their clothing is too thin for winter, and that they ate unnblc to procure the samo. They also found as orio of the inmates a boy six years old. jThis boy the Grand Jury d do some service, and they that he be bound out until at tho age of twenty-one years, and thus relive the County. The Jail^ the Grund Jury found in good couditi in. The Grand Jury is satisfied th.it tho interest of the County-, demands that a good, substantel, coureniuut and safe Court House bu built. It is a want which has.'long been felt, and tbcv are only surprised that steps have uot boon taken lon< ago to have this want sup plied and( the Gra.id Jury hope that such order may be made by your Honor in regard to the erection of a Court House as] will be the meauf of haviug this matter speedily attended to, and a comfortabyi pl.ico provided for the f the Court, and a safe place for' the preservation of ;hc recor is of the Cout_ !ry,'Ti?vo'l?a'rn i I tint the Sheriff of the County his absconded and in consequeuce srrioiH incouvcnincc has been the result, bath to the bar and to suitors.

Stock Joun a' explains that tlic word "wnrrented," u?ed in the sale of a horse extends only to soundness, and "warranted so ind" goes no further. It is a common prac tice with deilers to use the terms "war ranted all sound anil rieht." As it is uncertain what such nn expression would cover in law, it would, te avoid possible controversy nud misunderstand ing, be best to use forms more definite and oomprohensive; for instance, the following: "Received of A. B. S2rtf) for bay mare Kate, warrented only six yenrs old, sound, free from vice, and quiet to drive." The warrunty, to be valid, must of course, be passed ut the time ol the sale, and constitute part of the transaction. A warrant after the sole is void, for it is given without a le gal consideration. Eove at First Sight. The Troy (X. Y.) Whig gives nn ac count of a singular elopement by two children. It says that a low days ago two girls, about thirteen years of age one of whom is named Farley, loft Co hoes for a walk to a place a mile or two oast of ('oho -s. When about half way thoy met a boy, aged fif'teon years. Miss Farley at once fell in love with him, snd be with her. Thoy approached each other, and after a briet couvcrsa tioiiBhe resolved to accompany him to his father's farm, in tho tovn of Wcs tervliet, where thoy would be murricd. The parents of tho girl became alarmed at the absence of their daughter, but afterwards they received a letter from her, in which sho said, "I will be home ou Christmas Day and bring my hus band with me."
