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.

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

-kith him believe that lie chafed more
than appeared to the casual observer
at his defeat in this election. Satur,

-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

fiends. The following is a copy of a

A PEn miNT IZvsTMENT.-Says
the New York Evening Post : The
Confederate cotton loan, redeemable
in gold by Mr. Jefferson Davis' gov
ernment in 1863, is still bought and
sold on the London Stock Exchange.
Th'ere are X2,435,700 of it in London
Market, which co.t the suibmcribers
about ninety per cent. of its nominal
value. Sir IIenry Da Aoughton is
setid to have X386,000, which cost him
nearly par. Sales were actually

andl t'rec-quamters to five per cent.,

value of the stock, it appears, lies in
the hope of the sanguine purchasers
that the United States will one day
redeem it.
