A convention of delegates, repro. ,senting most of tho far Western States and the Territories, met in Dr'nver YJity, Col., Oct. 15tlh to considor the subject of irrigation, and to devise a iuoans by which the great expanse of rainless country between iho M is ouri river and th.e Rocky Mountains, as ell as on the lacific slope, can be brought under a system of ir igatior., so as to nia-k the saino valuable to the sections in which it lies, as well as to the GAoneral Uovernimnut, which owns the greater part of the rainloss area. Negro Prayer. A negro missionary repeated to Sir Charles Lyel), the gc !ogist, the following prayer, offered by a negio preacher at the ordination of another negro preacher ; the langungo is na terse and comprehensive as it is singular to us. .Mako lie good like he say. Make he say like lie good. MNko ho say like he good, like ho God-!" That is, "Make him as good as lie preaches. Afako his preaebing as good as himself. Mako his preach ing, make himself as good as God !" One of the most striking indica tions of the immorality prevailing among publio men and in the manage. ment of great corporations is afforded by the following passage from the no port recently mado by the President of the Western Union 'relegraph Coin. pany: "The franks issued to Government officials constitute nearly a third ni the total complimentary buiiness. The wires of the Westerni Union company extend into thirty-sove1n States and ni.ao Territor imi wit.hin the limits of the Uited States, an'' into four of the Brilish provinceq. k all of them our property ir nro 1 less subject, to the actio'n of tho na. tional, State, and municip' authori 'ties and the judicious use of coi.,pli. ncutary franks among then has boen the mleans of saving to the comnpany niany times the money-value of the free sorvive perforniol." When a gentleman like Mr. Wil. liam Orton speaks in this manner of bribery of public oflicials it becomes evident that the condition of society and the idea of honor and d ecoruti prevailing among thoso who exercise great trusts are indeed deplorablo. The case of) d as .. Dunning, P3ost.m ast V1 at A thint , is a h Id 0on. Mr. lhinning has held the office for yept;. n d is a tried *ind heairqt puitb ie seiv.nt. Som years ago hii i.u. ey Ocl k, MOoleighlin, absconded with a hrgo amoiunt of funds, and the Posit-nster has since been stinting himself of luxuries end con). forts to nike up tor th th eft. i! bad al most squa~ired his accout Is wvho dkran away. leaving a deficit O' $6,000, and Jluninin~g. theoagel l'e~st. master, declaru3 that ho will will pay cvory cent if it takes himt unt ii ti'e end ofhbis days. If Mir. Dunning were as v'igilant as he appears to si honest, his troubles iiight not he he succesive and overwhelming, and bie might enjoy comforts and luxuries in. stecad of others enjoying them at his expense. The use of asphalt paper has beeon's greatly extended of late. In thmn sheets it is now haigely employed for wr a pirng miks or other fabriics thait need prtection fromr mnoisiure; abit fur, packing boxes for ianOs, &c; n it is rolled til into pipes for couvev ing water. Tubecs unulo of this ina torial a ro only about onc-titth the weight of iron, will not rest, and, tw is well kniowni, aro quito to ugh and strong. Tlhese tubes are simply sheets~ of piper, of peemliar qualityv, dipped ini melted asphe , andi tho'n rol led uapn a cylinmdu. A macehii' frprep)aring the isphalt wraippli gi paper consists of a hollow eylitnder headed by steam, and a wedge.shap box containing the hot asphalt. Tne box hits a narrow slit, tho width of the paper, and as the paper passes, a thin layer of the asphalt is distrihu ted on the ppr just before it passes the cylinder. SWithmin the last year over 500,000 IGad of cattle have been driven from Texas to Kansas, where they ara fattened and then distributed by rail through the different States, accord ing to the requirements of the various mnarkets. For those cattle the far mere who raised thenm in Texas ne civod nearly $8,000,000, the average price in that State being about fifteen dollars per head. Sensational repom ting is carried t(or a fine point ini Eugland.

ATEANS DAVIS, Editor. Wednosday Morning, Nov. 6, 1073. Th~e hanges an] Immigration. From tho Rural Carolinisn for Njiember, we learn that the Missis. :pi State Grange recommends that the subordihnato Granges from im mn i.,Onn P.osociations the members A whieb are to give in fie simple a Siinito portion of their lands to whito fumilies agreeing to settle there du for five years. The said lands to be in tracts of ton, twenty, forty, oreighty acres, and if left by the ottlers before the expiration of the five years to revert to the donors. 'he ancuot proposed in Misbissippi is ten per cent. t'his wo think is an excellent idea, and if carried into successful opera tiun it will be productive of many beneloial resultP. Tl'ho idea might well be adopted in South Carolina. Tbe curse of our State is the aiiillions of acres of ara blo land that are lying waste. Theso represent so much dead capital, and are an actual lur-s in the eniormnous taxes that aro put upon them. They cannot be sold because there are no purchasers. They represent the lean hine of 'Pharaoh that devoured th. fat hio. A land hvld r, formerl3 pos.,essed of thou.ants of dollars, finls him.nelf at the oloso of the war with nothing but land. Owing to his want of moans and tha scarcity of labor, 13 can cultivate but a small portion of his cstatc. The ret lies idle. This must be kept under fence 1 at great expense, and is subject to taxes. I Suppose tho farmer las fifteen t hundred acres of land, and has only t two hundred in cultivation. If the thirteen hundred acres are assessed at five dollars per acre, the tax on these at fitteen mills amounts to ninety-reven dollar and a half. This absorba a large portion of the pro eceds of the cu!tivated land after the expenso of labor ad manures are do. duoted. It is be-tter to give away senic of this land than to be forever hampered by it, if the giving away il attract im migration to our shores. Wo need a thrifty hardy class of farmt-q among us, and great sacri~iem. -!nu'.d h' made to induce these im muigrants to come here. It will bao found that by increasing 1 the population, thme less resulting tro'n giving away a portion of land will be nmore than muade up in the en haneced value of what retrains. We s'o that a scheme is ou foot to intro unee .i aan immigrants to Port Roal We wish it success. We wish to sce the day when iminigrrants ; ur into Fairlield. It is said that these will not come. This may or may not 1-0 true. The experiment is 'iirte r~. ing. if lands are given to im iiigr an ts, and nono come, they w ill re. vort. to I heoir owners, arid no huarmi willI be doae. If immigrants are indluced Im come, great good will result. We subumi'. :lh recoimmondation of the Mississippi Granige, to the Granges of South Carolina. The subject is worthi discussion. Ta~atio j. We present this morning a fow ad. ditional fects concertning taxation in Routh Carolina as comnpared with that of other States. We give these not for the benefit of Gov. Mo.ses, for he is as cognizanit. of the truth as is any one olso in South Carolina, nor because they have not been given freqnuently b, faro ; but because it ia a good thing to keep before tihe peo. plo to show them how outrageously they are swindled, and beomuse some of the colored voters may be con vinced at list. of the turpitude of their rulers. TIhue great Financier in his message compared South Carolina with sever. ali other States, to prove the compara. tively low taxation imnposed upon un. WVe happen to have the data for com paring the rates of several States: Tonnestee, Ohio, Kentucky, M issouri, andi South Carolina: Property. Tax. Tennessee, $49$.2:l7 724. $3,238l.670 Ohio, 2,285.480.300. 23,626,648 Kentuck y, 6Et4.818 643. 6,710.118A Missouri, 1,294,90~2,89,7. 13,908,4-18 8. Car olina, 160,000,000. 2,767,675 From this table it will be seen that the tax rate on the assessed value of property is for Tennessee, 6.3 mills, for Ohio, 15 mills, Kentuoky, 9.4 nills, Missouri1 10 mills, South Caro hia, 17.2 mills. The rich and pros pornus Sita af mhio is th os. . it all approaching South Carolina in lxhorbitaut taxation. (We would -oark by the way that Ohio has had Republican Governors for the past ,wenty years and Republican legiF atures most of that time.) This comparison assumes that pro. ?orty Is taxed its full value in each f the States. We believe this as mmption to be an error. Gov. Moes states that property is aassessed in Illinois at 25 per cunt of .te real valuo. In Californin, real es tate is aPMotms d at one-third its real raue. The N, w Y.rk Heald of he 28th amorta that tle reil valuo of L lot in Bobton that the givortament ranted to purchase for the cxs,.iltion )f the pott oine, was two and a halt imes the atsssed price. Tthese are ,bree instarces, taken at randomii, tll tending to prove tLat 1. i I in the North is a eseed at not more thai half its real value, and (hat the tax -ato therefore in only half as much as vould appear from toe table. On he other hand, property in S, ti h Darolina is assessed at tl.o greatest )essible rate. L.nds are serowed up ;o the highedt pr ice, much more, geni ,rally, than they would briig if sold. Low many thousanIds of acres would be sold gladly to-morrow for thoir assonsed value? We aro informed hat the Auditors have received in itructions to allow the property of iu townlhip to deoroanio in atseascl ,aliue from the ouatimato of the pre rious year. [in other words, if \Vinnsmbot were reduced to asihe.,, Jho latid., and rubbish mnut tie as es led at,the sA 1me value as nIas the 1 r )erty previcua to tle cibigIuration. d ge r, i pite of this weak effort 0 ii.i.ose upon public opinion, the ax rate of this State is larger than hat ,f uny other. Gtiv. Moses choo bese States voluntarily, as compur ng most unfavoiably with South .arolina. Ilo has furnui.hed wcapons o destroy his own i'gumCnt. It i. roper to o-uime that the taxation in he other Sthtes of the Union is less han in ti ese given. South Carolina hen enjoys the distinction of being he worzt governied and yet most eavily taxed State in the U'nion. L'he Logislaturo-he' Union-Herald at:d the Oppositi.n Press.

"Tihe Wiasboro NKaws has this to ay about thu extra session : 'Tle Solonis of, 111th Ca rolinai have net in extra smes in to settle the 'txedl problom of Stato financoe.

The Uion~i-Herald proceeds in this tyhla at lerngth to denounce the ma ignity of the Conservative press. Somec of its remanrks are just. No Ldvantage ean be gained from mere nalignity, nor froum intolerance of ay kind. When an individ'ial is rilified merely for hollding hionet pinions iffering~ from thoso enter atined~ by his viltioc, or form auceiin al circumistaneos that lie carntot pre renit, he is sufl'ering au inj ustice. N o iood can possibly result from such roniduct. Wo hiave therefore nto rymnpathy with a so-called "red-hot" umtohcrant individual that can see no ivil in his own belief, or no good in son >pposite creed. And it has beeui >ur endeavor always to give oredit to zolesty of V-clief or of conduct, thierover founid.

The Conservative presa would so reereant to its trust did it niot ex. pose the ignoranee and oorrupt ion of he leaders of the domninant party. L'he WirNnssonoe Nr~ws has niot ex reeded the bouands of propriety in loing this, and therefore prefer. not 'o have its senititaets taken as a text or a diatribe of the sort the Unior,. Roerald has favored usI with. What re have maid is true. There are nany membars af the Laail1atur.. who are iguorant of the simplcst rule% in motlomatics, and it is pre. posterous for them to be charged with the duty of settling a financial ques tion that would puzzle the sbrowdest Philadelphia lawyer. That such Legislators are sent to Columbia is a disgrace to the honest Republicans of the State, and for this reason we de nounce them. The dishonest Itepub. leans we hold in contempt. The.se deserve no consideration and shall have none from n'. When we see an individual honestly changing his poli. tics we have nothing to av agai?.nst hinl.

A New York correspondent writes "Besides these capitaliets who have swept the bargainsfrota Wall street, another class has reaped a very no. ceptible harvest. This is made up of newspaper imen, who had such a vst iuorease of employment, and also of the lawyers, who have been richly benefited by the litigation and coun. sel fees which have eprung from those disaters. The hotels have also done well in entertainnog country capital ists. . The Telegraph com panies have had an inininse increase of employment. and operators were almoot woin out nith the great rush of financial re ports. Even the newbhojs found a hetter demand for their ptpers while the clergy hatd a powerful theime for the pulpit. The most im Mediate benefit, however, was found in the drinking saloons near the S.ock Exchange. At all times of czeitoment, men who drink at all inieease their por. tion-, and on an occasion like this the brekers lived on the sudden stinulus Of fire water. It was surpriviing to see the crowds at stch plaee.s, and the bar-tenders were reinforced to imeet the uiua .uaal demnand.
