real estate within this State," &c., on which any sura of money remained due for delinquent taxes for the years 1868,1869,1870 and 1871, should be sold at the sale therein mentioned, and "couveyed in fee simple, without the equity of redemption," is to be construed with the other portion of that act, and the words "conveyed in fee simple without the equity of redemption," are construed to mean that, after the expiration of "ninety days," a deed iu fee simple may be given to the purchaser or person having the right to such real property, and that after such time there shall be no such right of redemption. The question as to the validity of the act of the General Assembly of March 12th, has not been raised in such a manner as to warrant me in passing upon it. I think it is enough to say in this case, that when a contract is made by the State with its citizens relative to their taxes, such taxes being due and unpaid at the time of the making of such contract, or becoming due during the existence of the same,' and stipulates that when taxes on real estate become due under it, such real estate shall be i sold for such taxes, and the person or persons I owning such real estate shall have two years after sale in which to redeem it, the State is bound by every rule that governs a pure, just and enlightened conscience in an individual, to carry out such contract in letter and in spirit. ANOTHER INJUNCTION. F. L. Cardozo, the newly elected State Treasurer, has instituted proceedings against Niles G. Parker, the present Treasurer, in order to prevent him from diverting the taxes now being collected, to improper purposes. In furtherance of the object, Judge Melton has made the following order: State of South Carolina, County of Ptrm ivn?Tv tup Common Pr/eas.?F. L. i Cardozo, plaintiff vs. Niles G. Parker, as State Treasurer, and others, defendants. Upon hearing the complaint in this action, verified by the oath of the said plaintiff, and upon motion of Messrs. Carroll & Jauney, attorneys for the said plaintiff, it is ordered : That Niles G. Parker, Treasurer of the said State, and the defendants, the South Carolina Bank and Trust Company and J. L. Neagle, show cause before me, at the Court House in the city of Columbia, on the 21st day of November, instant, at 11 o'clock, as to the proceeds of the tax authorized to be levied by the joint resolution of the General Assembly, approved March 13, 1872; why the said Treasurer, Niles G. Parker, his attorneys and agents, should not be enjoined until further order in the cause to be made from using, disbursing, or in any manner disposing of the proceeds of the said tax, or any part thereof, for any purpose whatsoever, except for the payment of the appropriations contained in the general Appropriation Act for the fiscal * year last past, approved March 13, 1872, un til those appropriations have been tuny paid and satisfied, and why the said State Treasurer, N. G. Parker, his attorneys and agents, should not in especial be enjoined until further order in this cause from paying out of the proceeds of the said tax now about to be levied any outstanding pay certificates issued to the members and subordinate officers and employees of the General Assembly, or either House of the same, or any certified account for public printing done, or any note or obligation made by the said State Treasurer for moneys borrowed for the use or upon the credit of the State, under the authority of the Act of the General Assembly, approved March 4, 1872, or the joint resolution of the General Assembly, approved March 12,1872. And it is further ordered, that each of the County Treasurers, the defendants in this action, and also the other parties defendant, show cause before me at the Court House in the city of Columbia, on the twenty-first day of November, instant, at 11 o'clock, why they the said County Treasurers should not be enjoined until further order in this cause from using or disposing of any part of the proceeds of the said tax which may come into their ^ hands respectively, for the purpose of paying any note or obligation of the said Treasurer, N. G. Parker, or any order or check made or . /? . n endorsed by him, or any pay certmcate 01 any member or subordinate officer or employee $ of the General Assembly, whether endorsed by the said N.G. Parker for payment by any County Treasurer or not, or any account for public printing, certified by the Clerks respectively of the Senate and House of -Representatives ; and why, also, each of the said County Treasurers should not be enjoined from using or disposing of the proceeds of the said tax or any portion thereof, save only county taxes, for any purpose whatever, except for the payment of the same into the Treasury of the State. And it is further ordered that the said State Treasurer, N. G. Parker, and the said County Treasurers and their respective agents and attorneys, be in the meantime restrained from doing, committing, or suffering to be done, any of the said acts until further order in this cause to be made. SAMUEL W. MELTON. November 14, 1872. The Pkcenix, in commenting upon the action of Cardozo and the order of Judge Melton, says: Mr. Cardozo has done a thing which we have satisfaction in approving, and Judge Melton has exercised only due and necessary precautions. And now the tax-payers themselves have a part to play. They have the taxes to pay, and large as the amount they may yield, they are strongly averse to any, the minutest, part going the wrong way. The very words, "pay certificates,Tstink in their nostrils. They may and should enjoin themselves from any payment of taxes until after all danger of Parker and other Treasury brigands is over. Let them do it, and clap their hands closely on their pockets until the 1st January, as the soonest. The last week will be time enough to pay taxes?the limit being the 15th January. Of course, like death, they are certain to come ; but let the people do all in their power, first, to ascertain distinctly upon what they are taxed, whether, e. g., upon fraudulent bonds or not, and secondly, to secure every guarantee possible that they shall shall go to the legitimate exponses of the government. Hair-Trigger Talk.?Gen. N. B. Forrest, of Tennessee, publishes a card in the Memphis Appeal in answer to certain charges reported to have been made against him dur ing the late campaign by (ien. Hammond, ot Missouri. The substance of the charge made by Gen. Hammond is that the gigantic public robberies in reconstructed Alabama, which have been notoriously the work of the Radical rulers of that State, are equally chargeable to the Democrats, and that General Forrest, as Presideut of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, had profited by them. Gen. Forrest knocks the bottom out of these allegations by showing that he never was 1 President of that railroad, and by other and j equally conclusive auswers, and then goes for \ the redoubtable General beyond the Missis- j sippi in the following style: "This is not the first time I have been per- ' sonally traduced by persons who bear the title of Federal officers, and on a former occasion r ' t J-.J U ?1 I nave orauueu suuu tuuigco m oum iumo (if there had been proper military courage to ! back up an insult) as afforded ample oppor-1 tunity to my assailants. I now propose to offer the same opportunity to General Hammond, to whom I desire to address myself in plain and unmistakable terms, not stronger than the imputation upon me deserves, but so plain that his understandding of my meaning and purpose cannot be at fault. He is a liar, (I can use no other language to one so base,) a cowardly puppy and a scoundrel. If he owns the title of General in the Federal army, he disgraces it; and if I have anything like justice and fair dealing at the hands of the journal that published his ^ unprovoked and wanton outrage upon me, this braud of liar, coward aud scoundrel will spread as far as his slander, and live longer. That he may be assured of my willingness to I . ' ~~ | hear from him, he is notified that a letter addressed to nie at Memphis will meet with attention. N. B. Forrest." ABBEVILLE AGAIN IN ASHES. Abbeville, S. C., November 17. Another terrible fire has devastated Abbeville. We have hardly yet recovered from the conflagration of that night of horrors in last January, when the Marshall House and Knox Range were destroyed, and now the fire fiend has again run riot in the fairest portion of our town. The shrill cry of "fire!" j roused the inhabitants at about one o'clock j this morning, and fire raged until late this j afternoon. The streets have been filled with wrecks of burning buildings, piles of merchandise rescued from destruction, flying families startled from their slumber by the spread : - * " i.i 11? i j of the flames, ana tne aay nas ueeu one 011 great excitement. I The new Court House is burued, and with I it have been destroyed all the books and re[ cords of the various county officers, including ! the offices of the Sheriff, Clerk of Court and j County Commissioners. This will cause incalculable confusion in the settlement of accounts, the trial of criminal cases and the adjustment of land boundaries. It is impossible now to give all the losses in detail, but the general result may be stated as follows : One-fourth of the finest business part of Abbeville, which was fast rising from the ashes of last winter's conflagration, has again been destroyed, and the loss in buildings and merchandise will not fall short of fifty thousand dollars. Of this amount, perhaps one-half is covered by insurance, mostly in Southern companies. Many of the losers are ruined, others are almost covered by their insurance. The blow is a crushing one, and it would almost seem that a terrible fatality attends the old town of Abbeville. The merchants, however, are undaunted eveu by this double disaster, and if their insurances prove good, most of them will rebuild. The origin of the fire is supposed to be the result of accident.?Spe cial telegram to the Charleston News. ?- ? From the Rome Commercial. BILL ARP OX THE COLLAPSE. As the poet sed, "the agony is over." Thera cards in the sleeve would haven any honest hand. Bes-i-des, as Thomp. Allen would say, we played badly. Baltimore Convention and O'Conor and Alek Stephens aud a limited supply of votes has beat us. Well, we still live. I'm not going to bed about it. Ole Greeley ain't no kin to me. Grant ain't, neither, and thats whats the matter. I talked for Greeley and writ for him and voted for him, but I never did hanker after him. It made sich an everlasting fuss in my family I had like to run away. You see Mrs. Arp was not rekonsiled. She were a straight, and when she aint rekonsiled things aint as placid as a silver lake around my house. I don't mean that times is hot or desperate, but to say the least of it, they are pekuliar. A man likes to hav his bed and board screen. Don't he ? So you see, as ray wife was a strait, it dident become me to be very crooked. And I want?at home. She's a good oman, and she'l endure everything and never grunt nor groan, but she won't corapermise worth a cent. I told her I had no pertilclfir imp. fnr Greelev. and that he was a darned old infatyated liumbug, but that our paper belonged to the great unterryfide, unsatisfide, transmorgrifide Democratic party, and must keep into line. She sed sura remarks about papers lyin by the day and by the week, and about self-respect and independence and the like, and I grew meek like Moses in a few minutes. The fact is, I'm a meek man. I've laid awake of nights a ruminatin how meek I was. Mrs. Arp thinks the paper ought to take "truth" for a motto and work up to it. I told her it would be a dangerous experiment, but she says it has n^er yet been tried. If I wasn't afeered the little Arpa would perish to deth durin the experiment I would try it. Old Shank says we cant be worsted for he has tried lying for 20 years and it wont pay. He says it would be an episode in the press, a curiosity, somethin like a elephant or an eklipse or John Robyson's cirous. He says some time a paper sukseeds by lying, like the New York Herald and Tribune and Forney's paper, but it has to be well backed. The Herald has got so now it can quit any party and set back in its cheer and tell the truth in its old age, like an old speculator who has made a fortune by cheatiu and lyin and then puts his money in stocks and retires. He says that political papers lie from 90 per cent down to 10, and that Forney is the only editor who ever went tail up to 1UU and kept it tnere. Well, now that Grant has got in, I don't see any necessity of running the Commercial at a high pressure. If all the lyin issues aint ded, they are past doctorin. Now is a good time to go to developin the country. We can raise children and chickens by the 1,000 in 4 years. Some of our folks is a tellin around how the country could have been saved, and all that. Old Shank thinks he knows, but he don't. He's a good fellow, old Shank is. He don't gas around, but jest tells me privately, and asks me to say nothiu about it, and he said, "Gentlemen, if the people of the South had hav taken ray advice this kalimity wouldent have happened. I talked to em, and preached to era, but you might, as well hav tried to stop a Gawtamaller hurricane with a thimble full of sulphuretted hydroden _ )> gas. Well, I don't like his sort nor his gas. It don't do any good. The thing has happened? the dog is ded. Grant aint agoin to take away our bred corn nor tobaker. As for a few little posoffices and tax collektors, I didn't care anything about em. Them whats got em needs em, I reken, and its took a power of low down hard work to get em. We've got all the State officers from Governor Smith down to the bottom, and I'm satisfide. Hurrah for old Georgy! Bill Aril P. S.?I remarked to-day in a crowd: "We are a nation of thieves," and an offis holder slipped up to me and whispered, "Uaii no names, Bill, call no names." Thars something wrong about that man. B. A. SENSIBLE REFLECTION'S. The following article on the result of the. Presidential election is from the New York Tribune, and is said to have been written by Horace Greeley: The general result of our late Presidential election shows that I. The objections to General Grant's rule originally urged by Senators Sumner, Schurz, Trumbull, &c.,.were forcible and well grounded. Many of the most respectable of the journals which, on either side of the Atlantic, vigorously ur^ed the President's reelection, o . , now insist that the abuses thus proclaimed must be acknowledged and corrected ; some of them demand, in addition to the reforms i specially promised-at Philadelphia, others still more radical and thorough. II. But, where thousands admitted that the criticisms aforesaid were just, far fewer were ready to accept the only alternative presented, i They say they would have supported Adams,! or Davis, or Trumbull; but not Greeley, j Hence the vote is quite light, even in States and : districts where the contest was spirited. III. The great mass of our people feel no j sympathy for those they still regard as rebels. j On the contrary, they hold that these have ! been treated more leniently than they deserve, j The majority will tolerate, not approve, the gift of office to a Longstreet, an Akerman, a . Settle, who has been baptized into the Repub; lican church ; but they are not willing that i any others shall hold office where they can j prevent it. i IV. Whichever party carries in October j two of the three central States?Pennsylvania, ; Ohio, and Indiana?is morally certain to j choose the President in November. There has been no exception to this rule, save in 1824, when Jackson carried Pennsylvania and I Indiana, and had a plurality of the electors i chosen, but Adams was elected by the House. | V. These two States having gone for Grant : in October, not only was the contest virtually given np in the North, but thousands of the so-called rebels went over to Grant, believing ! this their shortest way to perfect reconstruc; tion?that is, to secure for themselves a prac| tical equality of rights with other citizens, j Thus Gen. Kershaw, of South Carolina, at one time urged his fellow 'ebels to run no ticket against Grant, as this would enable thera to appeal with effect for Federal sympathy as against their rascally State rulers. VI. The Republicans have won a perilous triumph. John Randolph said that one was the best possible majority. When the old Republican party had chosen Mr. Monroe President with only one elector dissenting, it j; ? -i_-j ?j c j: uissoiveu auu rau iuur uunuiunico ut tuc ulau election. VII. Though the Democratic party broke into fragments, not one of these has distinctly proposed a return to the anti-negro policy of other days. On the contrary, the Bourbons, who urged all manner of objections to Greeley, said nothing of his devotion to equal rights regardless of color. We may fairly conclude that there will be no further formidable, systematic opposition to impartial suffrage. VIII. There is little or no complaint from any quarter of violence or terrorism at the polls. Blacks and whites swarmed around a thousand polls, struggling zealously, but scarce a blow was struck, aud no serious riot occurred. It is thus settled that whites and blacks may vote together without a breach of the peace?"rebel" and "nigger" treating each other with forbearance and consideration. Triumphant for Twenty Years?More than twenty years ago the Mustang Liniment made its debut in the W est. Its cures of the various external diseases of horses and cattle, astonished the planters and farmers of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys, and a demand for it sprung up which necessitated its manufacture on an extensive scale. Soon the discovery was made that it was a grand specific for rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, earache, toothache, and otherexternal ailments of mankind. Then it was tried as a healing, pain killing applica tion, in cases of outward injury, sucn as cuts, bruises, burns, spasms, &c., and was found I equally serviceable. The fame of the new remedy for some of the most painful ills that afflict mankind aud the lower animals, spread rapidly, and Mustang Liniment soon took rank in every State and Territory of the Union as a standard cure. 81000 Reward is offered by the proprietor of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, for a medicine that will equal it in the cure of all severe cases of "Liver Complaint" aud all diseases arising from impurity of the blood, as Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Boils, etc. Jtrtaittial anb Ccmmcrrial.
