WINNSBOROa Wednesday Morning, Sept. 21, 1870, T'he Per, CapIta sopaisn. W1hon mn1 have an eye to office or government pap in any shape, it is singular what powerful force they dis cover in the merest sophisms. Those who hold the numerous useless and extravagantly paid officos in South Curolina at present, are uneasy to find a justica fit ion of them, and the so phomnoriu Mr. Chanberlain has hit upon the idea at last which is to satis fy the intelligence, not of the State, - hut of the ofliee-holders and the no groes, which, irdeod, it tny do, and yet be an absurd sophism after all. There are more people to govern, it is said, and therefore it costs more to govern then. In reply we deny that there are more people to govern. The popula tion of the State is about the same ts in 1860. Seuondly, the number of freetrton even, (for on the fact of free domr lies the stress of the argument when pushed from its first untenable absurdity) is the same as in 1867, when the expent,es of the government were on. I I. w' no iih. y are now. Let i, t.,ko up the idea in detail. There are more people to govern and, therefore, the Logiseature prolongs its sittings, wrangles over trifles, passes unintelligible lais, accepts bribes and costs the State from $125, 000 to $150,000, against 30,000 in 1860. Ame there more Legislators niw than14 thenu? Is not the argument, fsuited to the e:1pacity of a cern-field negro, th~e merest nonsenso? Teeare more People to govern. Thorefore, f'orsooth, forty thousand dollars was distributegd for party pur poses under prtec of a census of the people. There are more people to govern. Therefore, fifteen thousand dollars for thle precious Code I Thirteen thous :4nd( more for the Crews cominnssion I A hundred or so for Commissioner of Agriculture ! &e., &c. There are more people to govern. There fore five thouisand to collect the taxes of Fail field whioh even under the now system, could be colleoted for $2.,000) I But again. Tihe taxes per capita are less, it is claimed, counting the Degrees in, than they were in 1860 counting the whitos alone. This may be. But what does it prove ? Sitm. ply nothing. The gross amount is greater, and it is the same people and tihe same property that pays them. The samte property did we say I No, not the same, bitt the third part of it, the mere remnants of the same pro. perty. Anything will satisfy the ini terest of an office-holder. Bunt the people aee clearly through this puer ile invention of fraud and cunning. The government is not conomical in any of its branches.. We had intended to comnouent upon the partisan exaggeration that distin guishos this canvass when it was over; buit we might as well do 5o now, be fore the issue is decideid by the ballot box. The extravagance and positivo corruption of the WVhitteomore-Scott fact ion has been too glaring to require anything but a, plain statemnt of in. disputable and admitted facts, th oir decr to justify the demand for reform'; and whether the Reform party carry the election or not, the discussion of these facts will havye done good. But why assert that "the State deIbh been doubld,"wh eubhi i''no~ti he case ? W hy pronounce tle coIn-bill infanmous, when some of our citizens re gard it as eminently sbrewd and wine? Se 4ground of the ions c I 01W that have been e a of ho numerous a p1 ea at ave been oreateot, h0 warnf te~h6St e finances by pro. onged scssiunwmtitho Legislature, the oV4nowledge4. _faot.. of ualushipg >ribery, the increased expense of the Ld min istratid! of jdstiJmJ 6b afd ommission swindle, and the like, for he un,stable'trona" of '6erte an'f i mns, and yt' inrli6bld asse t1on 1 lear only onf096d-ind-coonfiosef and haking fMsi;:. in I,he consoie4tttoud ruthfulnese of those who indulge in uch partiean exaugeration, reaoil qp" )f their heads.

For ,urselves, we wiJlL no prart in ' Federni Reform. The Idea of reform is a very strong m)- upon hiuh , to. baso the, pro gramme of a -political party, and the Faot is, that the war has developed so nmuh corruption that it. is the..only idea that oaq move tho. 4eart. and route the energic'of our beetoittgen,s. It was a happy thought which: pro eoted our State .canvas .upo'n thit idea alone. Wo obterve that i '1d oral or national, affairs, the battle.is now joined with iho same rallying cry, as the following ihiteme ting comnmments upon the Natio>n.il lianks 'and ' on, tlie Imtterntl Revenue systeon, illusrate.

Now, under this internal revenue system we do not get a ju1t, honoat and cqal taxwtion. We see that the i.oop:e of the State of Ohio, with only two Senators and niotoen Representa tives, paid under t' is law last, year,. $1,000,000 more than all this territo ry that has twelve Scoators. We have heard a great deal of the welth of the New England States, and yet, with all their wealth the neople of the State of Ohio pay a million of dor lars more of revonue than they. Now lot us come down to closer quarters. I want to show you how this is fastened upon you.

Tle a hrench hav: a liking for a uu ious kind of pred iotion or owen, inolviOng the addition. of numbers oontained in dates, and conneoted with the lives of distinguished person ages. Example : Robespierre fell fipat-,power- in 1794, and the Napo loon era way bo dated from the same year add to 1794 the four compo. jient. numbers 1, 7, 9, 4-21, and we omwe to 1815, the year Napoleon's po.wer- finlLy ended. Louis - the XVItb. asoended the throne in 1774 ; tsid, 1,7 ,7, 4, to 1774, and they make 793, the year that ill-fated monarch was executed, The grent French Revolution began in. 1789 ; add to this 1, 7, 8, 9, and we;a;riVo at the year 1814, when the exilo.to E ba put an end to the French cong ests, in Europe. .'The B5,urboi.s were restored in 1815 add this date to 1, 8, 1, 5, and we have the date 1730, when the Bourbons were once more oxpelled. Louis l'hilippe was horn in 1773, and came to the throne in 1830 ;'add 1830 ; to 1, 7, 7, 3, and we come tc 1848, the year of bis expulsion. His queen, Amelia, was born it 1780 ; add 1830 to 1, 7, 8, 2, and we airive in thlte same way at the precise year, 1848. Napoleon the Third was born in 1808, and was crowned Emperor it 1853 ; add to 1853 1, 8, 0, 8, and you get 1870, the present year and his- downfall. Again, his empress, Engenie war born in 1826 ; add 1853 to 1, 8, 2, 6, and there aimilirly arises the date 1870. Again, add 1853 to 1, 8, 5s 8, and for thd third, timoyou arrive at 1870 Is there -pot a, f . ity of datea predicting the downfall of the Eau pire ? Tna CoLoR'oP MuLS.--In a lon exhaustive article on the "mule,' which it puts in the form of a review of a book on that animal, published by a Philadelphia house, the writem says: "Color his much to do with the value of a mgle.
