E. B. MURKAY, Ktlitor. THURSDAY, SEIT. 13, 188;?. TERMS s ONE YEAR.?1.00. SIX MONTHS. Two Dollars If not pitlil In atlvimrr. The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu HonafM replying to our article of last week on the tariff, says : "We will state to our Anderson friend that the friends of pro .dion favored the abolition of the match tax. -Mr. Bayard fought against it. We believe that Mr. Bayard is Senator Hampton's favorite Presiden tial candidate." It makes no difference whose votes removed the tax on matches. Thc result has been that since the aboli tion of tho tax, foreign mutches have been coming to this country in large quantities, and now the consumer gets four boxes for a quarter where he only got three before. This will be the result on all, or most of the other articles our people consume, when the tariff is taken off of them. It proves that protection rubes thc price of goods to the consu mer, whether be uses foreign or domestic manufactures. Kx-Seuator McDonald, of Indiana, in an address at Des Moines, Iowa, last week? "denounced the Tari ll" Act of thc last Congress as a measuro opposed to tariff reform, and as still furthering Un protected industrien. Ile favored a reve nue tnrifT which should be destitute of the principle of protection beyond what n strictly revenue tariff would unavoida bly piotect. Mr. McDonald declared that prohibitory aeasures for the sup pression of the liquor traffic had invaria bly proved failures. Because a few drink too much it is unreasonable to demand that all should drink done. The Legislature cannot be thc guardian of every man's conscience, nor ought it to assume to violate the personal rights of man." Senator McDonald is a promi nent candidate for the Democratic Presi dential nomination next year and if elected would make an upright, able and efficient Prendent. The troublo about hia nomination, however, ia that ho is not aa atrong in his own ?State as tho nominee ought to bo. Taking all things into consideration, we believe tho Dem ocratic party can do better than to nom inate Mr. McDonald. The Augusta Chronicle and Lbnstittf tionalist says : "Mr. Carlisle may not, na he aaya, be opposed to tho Misais sippi river improvement per ar, but he is committed against tho protective princi ple and ?H a free trader in theory. H?B election to the Speakership would loso the Democracy Connecticut, Now Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, New York and Indiana in a Presidential canvass." Ia our contemporary not decidiug the canvass somewhat in advance in these assertions? A proper enunciation of Democratic faith upon the tariff, willi ac ceptable nominations by the party,"will, in tho opinion of our shrewdest politi cians, not only hold what we have, but it will gain other States now controlled hy the Republican?. It ia easy enough io assert that tho election of any man will produce any result .vb?cb the party choose to predict, but there ought to be a rational ground for auch opinion. We ace nothing to ind?calo the correctness ol the Chronicle's assertion as to Mr. Car lisle's election. In 187G we carried every one of the States named upon a tariff for revenue platform. There is nothing to indicate that we cannot carry them again upon the aame platform. The Augusta Chronicle and Constitu tionalist aaya: "Our Anderson contem . *. ... . . . . porury appears to overiooE toe met mac steel rails did not come down in price until American comp?tition, fostered by the tariiT, compelled a lowering of the rate. Without that competition, thanks to the tariff, they would be very high priced to-day." The trouble about finding tho fact annouced by our esteem* ed contemporary ia that the fact does not exist, BO far as we understand it. The American mills, by the tariff, drove lor eign steel rails out of America, and then put the price up BO as to get, in 1868, (or every ton of Bteel rails $15.68 more than the English price with the duty added. AB soon as this abnormal condition of things was felt the English milts again made America?their market,>nd reduc ed the price down to their price, with the tariff added. The price of Englhm steel lailu haa regulated the price ovei since. There ia no doubt that the tarin has benefited the American manufac turers. They have enjoyed this benefit for sixteen years. It is about time now for the consumers to be given a showing, and allowed to reap some advantages by tho reduction of the tariff to its lowest revenue basis. The EdgeBeld Monitor fairly comen the New? and Courier when it asks thc question "is the Naca and Courier ic favor of 'protection' to Charleston job bing bouHca by charging outsiders twenty dollars per day for selling in that city bj sample ?" The News and Courier evade: the principle involved io the Monitor''< question-by replying as follows : "Wi take pleasure in answering the question The News and Courier is not in favor ol charging "twenty dollars per day" foi selling in this city by sample. Moreover no such charge is made. The charge Ia $20 a week, and for a comparatively small sum a license can be bsd for t jaar." The principle involved in thc tax; by the tpek or year is the same ai that involved ia tax by tho day. lu purpose is to protect the jobbing house! of Charleston against competition from the jobbing nooses of other cities. Ii the houses of other cities could not offer equal or greater inducements and advan tages to the retail mc .-chan ta than the Charleston houses do, thara would be no us? for tho license. As it is, the City Council of Charleston protects the job pats of ' that city by a protective tariff io the way of a lice ?so tax on all soliciting .gents from otinj cities. It is an odious restriction upon trade, bat It only affects Charleston, nod if tho people of that eily approve it, wo suppose lt is nobody's business. Like the Monitor, however, we would like to know if the advocates of tariff reform io Charleston favor this ind of protection in their own mi dat. : If we correctly understand the differ ! enceu between tue Railroad Commission i and thc railroad managers upon the I question of through rates, wc are satis ' tied tho people of the State will rise in unqualified condemnation of the Com mission's attitude in thc matter. It seems that tho railroads waul the Com? I mission to permit them lo haul freights j from Norfolk, Richmond and other points, to the towns aud cities in South I Carolina, as cheap as thc rate lixed by i the Commission from Charleston. The j Commission refuse this, and actually re j quire the railroads to chargo more than they want to charge from these points. In oilier words, the Commission is try ing to establish a protective railroad tariff in favor of Charleston, which re quires every other place in the Slate lo pay higher freights from all points, ex cept Charleston, than the railroads want to charge. Was there ever a more un reasonable or old fogyish effort to subject the mass of people of tho State to a higher charge than is necessary, in order to benefit a few 7 If (?harleaton has equal advantages with other j oints, ne think that is al) the State should require f with equal heights with any give") j)ort she cunnot successfully compete for rade, then it is because it.is for tho in terest of Irado to go elsewhere. Wc want to see Charleston grow, and aro, willing for the State to enforce lair play ti her behalf, and alford her every facil ly for tho successful effort lo command the commerce of this and surrounding States, but we are not willing to seo toll gates erected against other parts of South Carolina, in order to force them through Charleston whether they want to go lhere or not. The Stale ought lo asuisl Charleston as far as possible to induce trade and build up commerce, but ii should never try to force any part of the Smte to trade in any placo that does not conduce to the interest of such place. Let the toll gales bo tuken down, aud permit tho laws of business to control tho commerce of South Carolina, (live Charleston an equal opportunity, a fair chance, hut do nut attempt to protect her at tho expeuso^of the balance ol tho State. The Newt and Courier ?Bys : "Thero seems to b . no end to the number of lunatics in this Slate ; but Ibero certain ly is an end lo tho power of tho public to tako caro of them at the public expense, uuleHS it can bo clearly shown that they have no relatives or friends who can provide for them. An increase of 20 per cent, in tho number of lunatics in ono year is appalling. The LegUla lature will find it profitable to investi gato tho subject." The charity to the insane is one upon which tho Legislature acts under great ditltcuUics. Tho State must support such of these unfortunate people as have neither friends nor menus to care for themselves, let Hie cost be what it may ; but Ibero should be no expenso attached lo the institution for their maintenance beyond which is ne cessary for the comfort of those who aro properly a chargo upon tho Slate. To lix this limit ia an impossibility during a session of tho Legislature. It is, Ihercfore, necessary for tho Legislature to act upon the information derived from the Regents and Superintendent of the Asylum in fixing, the appropriation?, with, perhaps, Ruch information aa may bo derived by tho Committeo on the Asylum from its visits and investiga tions. There has iong been a belief that thero is unnecessary extravagance in the management of tho Asylum, but the Legislature has not been able to say just where the extravagance exists, and therefore they havo not been able to make reductions for fear of entailing hardships upon the hapless inmates. To correct tho trouble, aa far as possible, we believe IL? Bysiem simula be changed so as to require each County to defray its part of tho expense o' maintaining the institution, proportioned accordiug tc the number of inmates from such Coun ty. Uuder such a system the County Commissioners would look more closely into the means possessed by maniaca and their relatives to support them, and also unto the question of admitting patients to the Asylum. The expenses will cer tainly be increased next year under tlie present Bystem. The State can never neglect this charity. It cannot refuse to maintain, as comfortably os can be done, those who are a charge upon it, but at the same time it ia the duty of the Legislature to see that under the guise of thia sacred charity the peoples' money is not unnecessarily or extravagantly spent. The Macon Telegraph and Mettenger advocates the nomination of Judge Field for President by the Democrats next year, and argues alrongly in favoi'of its position. It say* of Judge Field . "lie is esteemed the aounJest and strongest jurist on tho beuch of the su premo Court. His life has been filled with Illustrations of bia physical and moral courage. Ile han never in any way, been mixed up with the miserable party atruggles of late yours. Ile ls a man who commanda the respect and con fldenoeof tho people of the bolted States. The Democratic party COL taino no atlck of Presidential timber superior, if equal to him. It is within the positive knowl edge of the writer that his was the only possible nomination dreaded by the leaif ors of the Republican party in the la?t Presidential contest. We have reason to know that Garfield had grave doubts as to whether he could beat Judge Field, and that these doubts were entertained and expressed by more than one of the prominent leaders of the Republican party.'* There is uo doubt that Judge Field would be a very strong candidate. He was a War Democrat, and as auch ia strong before the people of the North and West. He was placed upon the Supreme Bench by President Lincoln, and since the war ho has been a Peace Democrat, fi for i og the restoration of the Constitution and a government of law. In short, he bas always, in war and in peace, been devoted to the Union of our fathers. The Democratic party might do a great deal worse than to nominate Jndge Field. . - A boy of 15 died in New York on Thursday of nicotine poisoning caused by tho excessive use of tobacco.

Cash of South Carolina marked to a correspondent of the N York Time* to day that be did not tbi the people and newspapers at the Noi took the right view of the Independ? movement iu hin State. Aa for bims? he was in no Bonse an office seeker, ? not come to Washington to get control office patronage, and did not profess bo a Republican. Said Colonel Cash "I am a Democrat, but I left I Bourbon Democracy because I could t stand their methods any longer, lu i State the bnsses have become so ?-jrri and savage that they have forfeited ev< dann upon decent, peace-loving, pntri ic citizens. They have grossly viola every pledge made in 1870. They not regard their most sacred oaths, i Uave they any consideration for the rig ot anybody, aud they are plunging State iuto distress and ruin.

Ain all the colored people go with us. Tl are scarcely enough white Republic to fill tho Federal offices, aud the who are there do not possess the cc dence of the colored people. I tl Northern ucrrspapera ought to deal s more sympathy with these opposi movements at the South. They go coward making honest elections possi and it is t ..rough them that the tyra cal Democratic machine can be o thrown. "There is one question I should to oak the Junes and the North gent ly," said Colonel Cash, in conolui "aud it is a timely and important In case a Democrat is declared ele President next year by the help of tain States, namely Alabama, Miasii pi, Louisiana and South Carolina, ' ried by the notoriously unlawful ta I ods which now prevail in those Stat what are the people nt the North g to do about it?" i Reported Defalcation of a Postnia and Town Treasurer. John T. Price, a young Picken? yer, is in disgrace. Several yean , he was appointed postmaster at Pi Postoffico in Pi eke ns County. St quently he was appointed postmasU Anderson's Mill. Shortly after recei the appointment of postmaster he . to Pickens Courthouse to read law, instead of resigning his office appoi , an assistant to do the office wor! Anderson's Mill. He kept the bool the office at Pickeus, and transactet the buBlneari in bis own name, ordered large quantities of stamps, selling them at reduced rates woul port them to the department at Wasl ton as cancelled. The office ta a i country postoffice. and the amoun stamps cancelled during a quarter not amount to more th fin from fir eight dollars. The amount of the p postmasters of his class of offices dei upon the amount of stamps cann they receiving, as a nalacy, sixty per of the amount. During one quart is said, he ordered as much as $160 \ of stamps, bought a gold watch chain with hia percentage of the st sold, and was making quite a band tbiog of lt when the state of affair discovered by a postal detective, completely uncovered tho game week.

The Columbia correspondence of the yew? and Courier, writing II mle r date of the 7th inst., say? : At 9 o'clock this morning Messrs. Sol. Haas, of the Associated Lines; J. ll. Drake and (?. S. Hammil, of the Air Line Railway; 1>. Cardwell, of the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road ; T. M. Emerson, of tho Atlantic .Coast Line; T. S. Pavant, of the Fort Royal and Augusta Railway, and S. li. 1'ickcns, of the South Carolina Railway, met the Railroad Commissioner* in their ollice at tho State-House, and entered i into a long conference un the subject of through rates. Until nearly "J o'clock ; the conference was kept up. The ! through rates previously agreed upon in j Charleston by the railroad men had not been perfected and were not examined I by lue Commission, but the subject of i through rates was discussed at length, ! tho railroad men advocating another construction of the law on the subject lb au that held by the Commission. Tho conference adjourned without de cisive action to await the production of the rates by tho railroad men at ii later hour. I am able, however, to forecast one thing, and it is (his: Thc through rates between Charleston and the up country will be much lower than thc re cently established local rates, und will further be lower in great part than they were last year. The Yorkville merchants have complained about the assumed higher rate recently fixed by the Com mission, but thu through rales to be an nounced soon will bo lower than the previous through rules between York ville nud Charleston. As was stated re cently in this correspondence there is a great diff?rence between local and through rates, and I believe the through rates soon to be established will be such as to satisfy those who now complain. The business of Charleston will not suf fer under tho new rates. ? ii s ide History. l)o John Sherman, Stanley Matthews and Governor Charles Calico Foster re member one night in February, 1877, when tboy, the sainted Garfield and others met Major E. A. Rurke of Louisi ana and several Southern repr?sentatives in a room in Wormley's Hotel for the purpose of reaching an arrangement with those Southern representatives that would break the til li (lustering movement and enable the counting of the electoral vote to be completed before the fourth day of March, 12 m., and, further, ena ble Hayes to occupy an oftice to which he was not elected ? Do they remember that tho price demauded by the Southern representatives for so throwing Tilden overboard was the throwiug overboard by Hayes of the carpet-bag rascals in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana? Do thoy remember that they eagerly agreed to pay this price, but did not want to put the bargain in writing, as Major Rurke and the Southern represen tatives insisted that tbey should? Do they remember that Major Burke wrote out the bargaiu on three pieces of two hills of fare and asked all concerned to sign ? Do they remember that the sub sequently "greatest living financier" for his own pocket-John Sherman, sug gested that instead of Bigning their names each person should make a dis tinctive mark ? Do they remember that Major Burke and the Southern repre sentatives would not accept Sherman's amendment and that Burke signed bis name first and all the rest followed, Sher man next after Rurke ? Of course they remember bow the Southern representa tives broke down the filibuster move ment ; how Hayes got into TiIden's of fice as the first result, and bow Hayes slaughtered the South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana cu. pet-baggers and all the title to the Presidency he had at the samo timo ns the next result. Now, this lurnal desires to ask John Sherman, Stanley Matthews and Governor Charles Calico Foster if they kuow that the three pieces of those two bills of fare on which that bargain was written are now inexistence and procurable? This re lates to the celebrated Wormley Hotel conference of February, 1877, aud is about all of it.- Washington Gazette. Tilden In South Caroliun. Some of the Northern newspapers are publishing accounts of the negotiations Haid to have taken place in South Caro lina in 187C, when it appeared doubtful whether Hayes or Tilden had carried the State. The fiva/.liar cipher dispatches are reprinted, and the public are remind ed that Mr. Tilden waa invited, in cipher, to deposit $30,000 to be used in buying the Returning Board. There is nothing very new in this, and it is reasonably sure that a leading Re publican elector gave it to bo understood that he was for sale. The large sum of money that was called for in 1876, as a bribery fund, waa never furnished, but Mr. Tilden did agree, earlier in the year, we believe, to contribute $5,000 towardB the legitimate expenses of the canvass. Thia ia admitted to be the fact. Another fact ia, that $5,000 were spent on the faith of Mr. Tilden's promise, and to thia day Mr. Tilden bu sot re paid a solitary cent of that which waa oxpeuded in his name. So the story goes, and we have every reason to believe that it ia an "ower true tale."-Xeict and Courier. Wholesale IncendiArlsm In Laurena. There seems to be an organize?! band of incendiary fiends in our county, and they are applying the torch indiscrimi nately. We hear of five incendiary fires io one short week, and there may be others not heard of. The first was Rob ert Seibert's gin house and contents, on tho night of the 27th ult. Second, the burning of the gin house of Edmond Adair, on last Friday night. Third, barn and stables of Capt. J. B. Hum bert, OD last Saturday night. Fourth, the burning of the saw-mill and gin house, combined, of Pr.t. Madden, on same night. Loss, probably five hun dred dollars. The fifth was the setting fire to and attempt to burn a stable on the premises of A. F. Coleman, of thia place, on last Saturday night. Luckily the fire was discovered in tune to extin guish it before any damage wao done. None of the above named parties were insured, we learn, and their loss is seri ous. Something should bo done, if pos sible, to arrest this fiendish destruction of property.-Herald. The Edmonds Law.
