and of a large portion of the property of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. This latter, after a long and bitter struggle, they were finally compelled to disgorge, but they have held on to the great mass of the colored Methodists, and have thoroughly trained and drilled them in hatred of and opposition to the whites. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. "THE TOWN "REVENUES." It is me thing to say what should be done, and it is easy to say it anonymously; but it. ia nu ito another thiner to act in any given case under a sense of public responsibility. | Moreover, finding fault with the action of municipal bodies is so common everywhere, and has always shown itself more or less in Yorkville, that many worthy citizens, who ought to serve our community either as Intendant or Wardens, have declined to be candidates from an over-sensitiveness, or a dread of unkind criticism. Hitherto, no complaints have been made in print. But your correspondent "T," in the last Enquirer, seems to think that the present Town Council deserves a public castigation, and he has taken upon himself the task or pleusure of administering it. Xow as a failure to notice his article might have been construed as treating it with silent contempt, or as acknowledging its arguments (?) as unanswerable, I will, with your permission, say a few words in reply. But in the outset, so far from deprecating any criticism, private or public, of any action of public officers, I regard it as always in order, very desirable, and as constituting the very life and health of a body politic. I will furthermore premise what I have to say with .the remark, that so far sis the writer is concerned, and he thinks he can speak for his colleagues, they have ceased long ago to try to please everybody, and in their recent or remote actions had no private interests to sub serve, but simply looked to the public good. If they fail in their intentions, the failure attributed to the common lot of mankind?error in judgment. As I understand the communication of "T," even he does not charge improper motive, unless the obscure allusion to the "handwriting on the wall" squints in that direction ; but he thinks the members of the Council ought to knoir better; and he wishes to send them to school, at the expense of the town, all the way to Fort Mill Well, perhai>s our people would not be satisfied, on our return, with the education acquired there; for according to "TV own showing at said proposed school, three hundred citizens pay SI,200 for their ichuiky and beer, over and above the expense of maintaining the two saloons, which, I suppose would amount to about $2,400 more. Now, Yorkville, with more than four times the population, sustains only two bar-rooms at $350 each ; one having closed, because, as asserted, it would not pay the owner with a license at that price. So far, our town will compare favorably with any of our neighbors. But if "T" will inform the writer, when or how the lesson can be learned?how, by any legislation, men can be kept from drinking intoxicating liquors as a beverage?he will go there at his own excuse, and devote the rest of his life to bring about such a result. It would have been much more in the shape of an argument against our action in this matter to have shown that $350 for a license is below the average in the State or country; but that would have been impossible, as a little inquiry would show. The other bugbear or "agony" as he terms it, with "T," is the "'ordinance establishing a market." More "indirect taxation," enrich' ?x ing "middle men" at somebody's expense, a meat famine or what not, so disheartens him, that he thinks it useless to argue the case; nevertheless, he contends that our people will have to pay from half a cent to four cents a pound more for their meat than they have done ^ hitherto. "Well, if it even were true that a V ' market ordinance raised the price of fresh meat a trifle above the average for the year, V heretofore paid, who would not, even on that condition, prefer to know with some certainty, when and where he could get his meat in just such quantities as suited him ? But "T" has no cause to be alarmed. It is useless to simulate or theorize in the face of facts. According to an old saying "the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof." Now, although this is a new measure in Yorkville, it is no innovation. This upuddinySy has been dished up from "time immemorial" to thousand? of communities, and so much to J||iiniltimate satisfaction, that none of them raw?ever sent it away again. Can we find a town of any size in all this broad land, where its citizens have not established by law, for their convenience, a regular market? I could fill a column of your oi\ni? ?v?tK oAim/1 omnmnnfo An fhio miPfttinn TV 11/11 OVUliVl (U^UUtUUVU UA* VMAW \JV1VWV?VA*J but it is not necessary. The working of the ordinance will commend itself; and I venture the assertion, that when fairly tried, like the fence or stock law, it will convert its strongest opi>onents into advocates. But if somehow, the results should be different here than elsewhere, and the end aimed at should be missed, then at the worst, the present authority will only last about a year, and the obnoxious law can then be regaled, if not sooner. To condemn it, however, with less than a twelve months' trial, embracing all the seasons, would hardly be fair. And though "T" be ever "watching with grim satisfaction" to see who will be hurt, he will probably be disappointed in finding that nobody is hurt, but rather benefited in all that time. But if still not reconciled to the present order of things, when another election approaches, especially if he should discern signs of another "handwriting on the wall," let him then exert himself and shape public opinion, so as to have things his own way. If the public good requires it, no men will more cheerfully "step down" and take their places as humble law-abiding citizens, than the members of the present Council. In the mean time, as the act complained of by your correspondent was intended to benefit our citizens in general, though it may possibly work to the inconvenience of a few, according to a universal rule, let us give this "market-ordinance" a fair trial. Finally, to remove a misapprehension on the uart of some persons, who may think that the law creates a monopoly, or that they no longer can have meat brought to their doors as formerly, but must go or send to some definite place for it, at great inconvenience, I would simply say, the wording of the ordinance excludes the idea of a monopoly. All the meat required by our community will be supplied by somebody; and if one charges too much, or does not satisfy his customers in any respect, another will step in and try to do better. Oi>eu competition will not only secure fair prices, but will bring our beef, &c., to our very doors if desired. Of course, if a reyular market is of any advantage to the citizens of a town, and if it costs a trifie more than a very irregular one, such as Yorkville has had heretofore, we should be williug to pay that trifle for the advantage gained. J. R. S. ARREARS OF PENSIONS. * The pension bill recently passed by Congress is a stupendous affair. It is a political dodge of the Republicans, and will likely do harm to the Democrats in its final analysis. The bill provides that all pensioners on account of death ^'from causes which originated in the United States service during the late war of the rebellion, or in consequence of woands, injuries or diseases contracted in said service during said war of the rebellion, shall commence from the date of discharge ! from said service of the person on whose ac< - count the claim has been or may hereafter be granted, or from the termination of the right of the party having prior title to such pension." This is the gist of the measure as it passed. No provision is made to raise the money wherewith to pay the pensioners, and the operation of the act will require many millions of dollars. One estimate, which is the low-1 est we have seen, places the amount required : to settle all the claims at 850,000,000. Another places the figures at 880,000,000 and i Secretary Sherman declares that it will involve I a draft upon the Treasury for 8100,000,000. Others contend that no living man can pre- j diet the amount with any thing like accura- j cy. But the bill is now a law, and the sura required will have to be met by increased taxation or the issue of bonds. The Republicans gain the credit for its passage, although the Democrats were forced to assist the measure through the House of Representatives, upon fear of incurring the odium of its defeat among the thousands who are interested in i- . .i? p?+ ttl6 aiStriDUHOIl U1 UIW vttoi ouui. vuo Republicans will place their political opponents in a worse plight by neglecting to provide the money at the present session, and allowing the Democratic Congress to choose between an increase of taxation or absolute i refusal to meet the arrears for pensions at all. In either case political capital will be made ! of it. Republican orators and newspapers [ will contrast the expenditures of the government under the control of the two parties, if taxation shall be increased, and in the event of a refusal to pay the pension money promptly, the charge of disloyalty will be made against the party. The Republicans would prefer to meet the last horn of the dilemma, as they are satisfied it would give them an advantage in the next contest for the control of the government?Columbia Register. THE STATE PENITENTIARY. The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier furnishes the following interesting information concerning the present management of the State penitentiary: Gen. T. J. Lipscomb, the newly appointed superintendent of the penitentiary, has already displayed a degree of intelligence and zeal in his management of its affairs that promises to secure the best results attainable under the narrow minded policy adopted by the "reform" Legislatures. There are now confined in the prison about 250 convicts, besides the large number hired out to contractors. To maintain this number (250) and pay all the other current expenses of the prison, the Legislature appropriated the sum of about 81,666.66 per month, which amount, as may be readily seen, does not leave a very large margin for improvements, experiments or "side speculations" of any kind. Such improvements as are possible within the limits allowed are being made every day, however, and it is a matter of surprise that so much has been artd is being accomplished with so little means. A large garden within the walls shows a quautity and variety of wholesome vegetables that would compare favorably with some of the finest "market gardens" around Charleston, and supplies a large proportion of food for the convicts at the smallest possible outlay of money. Very nearly all of the cloth used for uniforming the convicts is woven and made by themselves, at a cost of perhaps little more than half of the price that would be paid for it outside. Heavy and well made shoes (brogans) are made in the prison shoe shop, for the use of the inmates and those that have been hired out, at an average cost of 95 cents per pair, and the superintendent contemplates developing this branch of the business by establishing a large tannery within the walls, which will enable him to convert all the hides purchasable in the State in the best manner, where they can be sold at good profit. The health of the convicts has also greatly improved under the new management. One hundred and thirteen out of about six hundred died last year, and when the prison was turned over to Gen. Lipscomb, the hospital and a rude outhouse kuowu -as the barbershop, were both filled with sick. There are now but seven men on the 6ick list and several of these cases are of long standing. The credit for the improvement in this department is due to Dr. George Trezevaut, the recently appointed physician, who, it may be said too, is ably seconded in his efforts by his assistant, Dr. Pope, of Newberry. There is still very much to be done before the institution can be placed in a proper condition. It is crowded in every department to a most unnecessary and unwholesome extent. The washing for the 250 men is done in a small room about ten feet square; the kitchen is but little if any larger; the mess hall is not as large by one-half as it should be; the shoe shop, wherein twenty or thirty men are required to work, is about large enough to accommodate a half dozen similarly engaged, all of which should be remedied, as it is no part of the sentence of the prisoners that they should be denied light, air and reasonable elbow room. It is intended to enlarge the several workrooms as rapidly as the work can be done with the small appropriation allowed, and the brick walls will be extended around the entire prison enclosure as soon as possible. When they are completed, the number of guards can be safely diminished; a fewer number will be required on duty at the same time, aud the prisoners can be employed at work in any portion of the square without risk of their escaping. In no department of legislation, perhaps, have the Democratic Legislatures made greater mistakes than in regard to the uses and capabilities of this institution, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the next one will adopt some morq liberal policy than the "penny wise and pound foolish" ones which have hitherto prevailed.
