Obi nary Notices and Tribiues i 1.00 bc WiQare, rson Cain's Aivice to His Black Brelli reil, Whoever looks over the trophie of the Republicun party, as pre.sent ld thruigh thu men who have beci the financial philosophnrs of the Stat, may discover through the telescop ,of augmented taxation, the falsifisa tion ot the former pretensions of skil in Statecraft. They have given di rection to all the menstares of taxatibn and iepresci-ted those measures a adequato to inet the wants of thi stato, sind to place it far above th, necessity of saising the assessmniots . taxation in the future. When tis last Gencial Asonembly adj.>urned the hope was indulged that this 3yeu would witness the reduction from fivi to three mills. Such was the conclu sion of all who believed in the succees of Governor Scott's administration With this hope, with this determina tion, every earnest Republican wh< had the welfare of the State and thi good of the people at heart enteret the contest against the "Rieformer.' who clamored against the adniisii tration and its extravagances. W< Were among those who contested th< right of the party to a new trial ol power against the opposition. We pledged ttue people lower taxation ; wt pronaked them retrenchment in thi .guvei ument. The inquiry now coies t< us, how have theae promises been kept The first effort of those directing Iho finances of the State is to atAgmcm the tax fion five to nine mills ot th< dollar. They tell the mtnberv of th< General Assembly that they namsi pass a bill securivg this, or they can not have ''per dicm" to return t< their homes. 'htcy go to chairmer ofeommittees and bring to bear tht weight of their official character or their acution, and force reports favora le to their s laemes. Plans anm cambinations have been rife since th, ltd'ournment, by which measures o personal aggrandizement have beet put forward j notHing which looks to wards benefiting the poor of the State no measure which brings to the pov erty-strioken any ray of hope. Amon,, all the great plans which the rulinj men of this party have brought for ward, there is not one which secure to the poor man olne dollar of benefit nothing which cheers his pathway nothing that says to him here is hop for your children 1 nothing which say look forward to the future ; nothins which says to his children, you ma now take courage. We ask, has ona maan outside of the "ring" been bene fited by these great schemes, whiel have resulted in putting thousand of dollars in th-eir pockets I Th, common peoplo are now boginninj to inqure in their own minds, wha have they gained by their persisteno, in contending for the leaders in thi Republican party above that of an; other ? They have tried one class of me1 and have found themi "wanting ;' they have trusted to their guidane, and have been led to their slaughter they bave given up all for the sake a maintaining certain men in offli. and now they find themselves a destitute to-day as wheni they begai life years ago. T1hsey see that to ad here to the men whom they have ele vated to offles of power and trust,i to cling to a broken reed ; to trus them longer, is to destroy themselvet an lgtthe hopes of' their childre: forever. Now they propose to adop tinasuren which will advance the in terest of the-whole people, advoecatin them through all the State. and the support only such men as will sustai and sadvance these mneasures, wid look toward the welfare of this Statt tand the happiness of the masses It matters not whether the ment ar Iemocrats, Rtepublicans, Rtefortmers whether they are whito or black, a that they will carry out the measure of relief and security to the peopl< and btuild up the interest of the Statt Ihenceforth, let the people look t this question ; let them select th best men. Luet them throw abide th~ clap-trap of party, and chaooo honor sable msen, men of integrity and stand ing in their' communities who represeri and (10 them good; measures, an metn to carry themt out. How'S Tvs Fola IGH i--The foI lowitng appeared in the Unoion a fe daao"We have received a note fret Hon. J. HI.

Both the boy's father and MA agree that it was a bad enennlation. liiocki1g Suiride in Augusta. About one o'clock, Faturlay after. hoon, Mr. Robert ). Glovor, a native of Edgeflield, S. C., but For many years a citizen of Augusta, committed sui, tide at his residence in that city, co r ner of Broad and Lincoln strects, where h liVed alone with his son, SMr. Jas. R- Glover. Upon going to dinner as usual, about I u'eloek, the son found the front door of the reidenceo locked, which, however, excited no suspicion, it bein! customary for himself aid father tocarry a !leperate key tbercto. On opening the door into the passage way, le w-s astonislhce1 at naeilhig the fiuits of fireshly burned powder, and, upon looking to the left of the ettrance, he beheld the deid body of his father stretched at full length, crosswise of the fire-place, the head resting upon a cushion placed upon the back of a chair turned down as a support. There was a pool on each side of his head, and his right hand still grasped firmly the pistol with which he had evidently but a shot t time previous destroyed his own life. The distressed young nian imi mediately gave the alarm, and in a short tinx the friends of the deceased in the neighborhood and elsewhere in the city were gathered at the resi dence. From the character of the Wound,thd deceased evidently thrust the muzzle of the pistol into his mouth and fired, while siading up right on the floor, aifter placing himi. self in a position to fall back upon the chair which he had previously ar ranged with a view to his deperate purpose. The ball passed out at th. back part of his head, and made an iudentaition in the ceiling above, fall ing back to the iosor, where lie was afterward picked up. The back part of the bkull was badly shattered, the deed having been committed with a six shooter of particularly large bore. During the past summer, Mr. Glover had suffered gloatly, flomt ill-healti, and at the recent election he wais the regular Deiocratio candidate for tax collector of Richmond County. lie was a ma1'n of keen persotnial sensitive ne.s and strong political outivictions, aid those of friends inoA intimate -kith him believe that lie chafed more than appeared to the casual observer at his defeat in this election. Satur, day morniing Mr. (lover was on the -treet, and betrayed no synpitoms of anythitng unusual. A few minutes before he liied the fatal shot, having returned to his house for dinner, lie W is i the back yard quietly looking after domestic matters. The act is attributed to pecuniary reverses con Ilicting with a -pirit too proud and self-reliant to contemplate a possibili ty ofbeing reduced to any ph.a cof de. penidence, ov'en upon the assiatance of fiends. The following is a copy of a note foand lying on tie floor beside himt To Ky Sons-Don't have an in qust held over me. I commnitted the act myself. Don't grieve and worry yours.lves about it. My situation is such that I prefer death to life. 3 lave me buried as cheap as possible ; it don't matte- if it is a plain pine box, Try and make something to live on when you get old. Behave yourselves and keep gentleman's company. Tell my friend A. Poulla in, to do the best hie can with my house and lot and pay what I ewe, and to do thma best he can for you. The deceased leaves three sons, two in 'Georgia, and one in Texaq, with a considlerabtle farmily connection in South Carolina.
