ano out :
Uponl it being" rersntdt Gov.
Scutt by thle comm11ittee, that it w.uhl14
ho a great hardahip upon the coile
t pay two levies in one yeir, espei
cially when farming operations had
been so disastrous the preceding 3car,
he promised to postpone the enforce
ment of penalty for nona-,L lelit
until the l.St of next March ; that he
would have the tax booki open, and
inl tho meantilme, if ar-y tax-layeis
felt disposed to pay their taxes,
they might ha Ve the opportuniLy to
do so.
The promise iot to enforce the pen
alty for non-payment until the bt of
Maruh was clear, reiterated, conclu
ive and unmistakable.
Governor Scott, in -:..igning a ;i
son for a change of the itio of collce
tion to November, did say that promi
nout gentleman in the Stute had r
couutended a change to the fall of the
year, as a more convenient seas.>n for
persons in some portions of the Stale
to pay their taxes; but this had noti
jg whatever to do with hIs prom i.ej
to postpone the penalty which was
completo and unqualified.
Such, at least, aro my recollections
of "'the promise" and the interview.

Fire in Greeunville,
The most disastruus fire that ins
occurred in Greenville fur many
years, broke out about 9 o'clock, to
night, in the extensve planning, sash,

of Cline & G ibbes, on the river, below

destruction. of all the machinery,

$6,000, without insurance. In the
onuilding was about $300 worth of
dressed flooring, sash, doors, etc., be
longing to Captain J. W. Cagle ; also
attached to the building, was a saw
mill belonging to Alex. Mllee, Esq.,
loss about $1,200. No insurance.
The lot-s to (line & Gibbes is very
severe, as they have several extensive
contracts in hand unfurnished. They
are energetio and reliable contractors,
and the destruction of their establish.
ment is a serious loss to our city.
The fire is no doubt the work an
incendiary, as the flames burst forth
in an immenso volume at some dis.
tance from the stovo-the only place
in which fire was kept in the place,
and which Mr. 0 ibbos nasures me was

closed at dark. Our fire companies
were in working order from the river

in saving sheds, lumber, etc., adjoin

far gone to save. The Palmettoes

General Sherman .Qi General Urant's
Peaco Policy.
A reporter of the New York Ier
ald reports soine remarks made by
General Sherman as part of an "in
terview" with that officer just prior
to his departure for Europe on the
frigate Wabash. Being asked about
the Administration policy in the
South, the General said :
"I don't care to speak plainly on
those matte.rs. It is not in line of my
duty. I think, howevor, that when
the war was ended warfare against our
brethren of the South should have
ceased. The negroes are well dispos
ed and a kindly people, but they are
not, as a oass, posted in the soieneo
of government ; they are apt to make
mistakes and behave rashly. But I
have no doubt whatever that every
thing will turn out all right in the
end. The Union men in the South
were never a fino class of people, and
sone down there now would be better
out of it, but their presence in the
late insurrectionary Status affords
no proper excuse for acts of lawless
nless.I
"Then, G eneral, you do not approve
of the repressive acts of the Federal
Government V,
0think a mistake has been made.
Tfhey are not all rasoals in th~e South.
Tlhe majority of the people are the
best citizens of the republic. The
young men that followed the retreat
i g('onfed. ratt s into Texas,ithe muon of
the armny of Vir'gin ia, and the lads of
the WVest who leaned toward the Routh
were capital fellows, though mistaken.
T[hese in my opinion, should have
been appointed to position under the
government as nimshalu, .postniaaters
internal revenue collectors, and to
other Federal and State offices, in
stead of being drivenm into opposi
tion. I really believe that these
younmg men represented the 8o~uth,
and that they were ready to cry 'pee'
.iavi' and support the Government.
I am sorry they were not treated
properly. But it will be right in the
end."
