CHANGE OF ScBOtnuLr,-The steamer Matanzas,
which was advertised to sail for New York ou
Saturday, has been detained, and will not leave
until further notice.
ACCIDENT.-About 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Mr. Christopher Zeely, a workman employed on a
building, fell from the second story to the ground,
and, striking upon bis knee, split open and frac?
tured the bone. Assistance was at once procured,
and the injured man taken to his house.
A SERIOUS AFFRAY.-A difficulty occurred on
Monday, about eight miles from Chester C. H., be?
tween Joshua Carter and Wesley Davis, in which
the latter was stabbed, it is feared mortally, in the
breast. Curt?r was arrested and lodged in jr...
Mr. Davis, at last accounts, was still alive, with
but little chance of recovery. The difficulty grew
out of a quarrel in which other parties were in?
volved.
THE CHARLESTON CLUB HODS*.-This house bis
sow been thoroughly refitted aid furnished as a
place for public entertainments. The large hall is
admirably adapted for society dinners or suppers,
and was recently secured for this purpose by the
Board of Commissioners of the Marke', for their
annual dinner. The Club House has even- con?
venience possessed by the other Halls of the city,
and its location renders it a suitable place for balls,
parties, or any public entertainments.
THE THEATRE.-At the Theatre, lat t night, the
audience was the best ot the season, "'he company
are now accustomed to their now sc me of action,
and the community is loaming to appreciate thc
efforts being made for their entertainment. Leap
Tear went off without a hitch, and was tvarmly
applauded throughout. Particular praise wat
given to the sprightliness of Miss Clifford as Mts*
O'leary, to the grace of Miss Vaneo as Ftoru
Floteerden, to tho humor of Chfford as Lnnifae,
and to the dignity of Mr. Templeton as Walker.

Tm ELECTION IN THE INTERIOR.-Voting has
evidently affected the brains of some of the newly
fledged at the country precincts and induced them
to believe that when they became voters they were
also lawgivers. At Winnsboro' a colored conser?
vative who did not believe in the blessings of radi?
calism was threatened with violence by some mem?
bers of the Union League, and was compelled to
leave the town to avoid his persecutors. At
Gadsden seventy-two black Repubhcans, who were
anxions to "posit dere ticket," were debarred I
from exercising that privilege'on account of their |
singular forge tininess. They could not remember
the carnee under which they registered, and the
managers, not" being able to prompt them, the
country and the cause wire deprived of their valu?
able assistance._
THE OLD TRADE OE CHARLESTON.-Among the
hotel arrivals of the past few flays it is pleasing to
note the faces of many old and valued customers
of Charleston, those staunch friends to tho Pa-,
mette city, who still uihert to their former alle?
giance, and believe that goods can be purchased
as cheap here as at the North. Their presence in
the city has caused a little spirit of trade, which
has brightened the faces of our business men,
lightened their stocks, and caused a few more
shipments of goods to be made. Mr. John Tyson,
of Anson ville, Anson county, N. C., is one of these
old merchants, who has long mide Charleston his
headquarters, andi though she is now in the days
of her adversity, be has not forgotten her. lt is
the merchants of this class that are expected to
Hussain Charleston, for they have tried her often
and have never found ber wanting. Mr. Tyson is
one of the old supporters ol the Charleston trade,
and his presence in the city is a proof that the old
North State has not forgotten the ties that connect
her with the city by the se*

differ as to her death, some stating that she was

decapitated From some inexplicable cause the
practice was introduced of hiving concerts OM the
22d of November, the day dedicated to Saint
Cecilia, and she was universally regarded aa the
patroness of all musical entertainments. The
concerta given on the 22d gradually gave place to
the more fascinating dance, and the votaries of
Terpsichore have, for some years, celebrated each
recurring anniversary by a St. Cecelia Ball. The
St Cecilia Society of this city have 'ong been in
the habit of giving annual balls on this day,
and though the war and its consequent evils have
sadly impaired their resorces, they still adhere to
the old practice.
BRICK CLEANING.-It is an old and tree saying
that "the fashion of this world passeth away," and
having looked on ruins until their beauty,"poetrv
and romance have been thoroughly exhausted, it is
pleasing to note that a change is being made in
the scenery. The pick-axe has been laid at thc
root of the old walls, and they are now fast crum?
bling before the blows dealt by Alric's sturdy sons.
J?or some time this necessary labor bas been aban?
doned, but it ii. 'leasing to notice that there are
?orne property owners who yet believe in the ulti?
mate prosperity of our city, and are determined to
aid practically in the great work of reconstruction.
The burnt walls and chimney stacks that have so
long presented anything but a picturesque appear?
ance, are graduaUy disappearing before tho attacks
of the ebon laborers, and in different parts of the
city neat piles of bricks are to be seen in the place
of the old ruins. At tho corner of East Bay and
Laurens street preparations are now being made
for rebuilding, and the old ivy clad house so long
known as Madame DnPre's seminary may soon
rise from its ashes an improvement on its former
appearance. The workmen are also busy tearing
down the old walls at tho corner of Meeting and
Queen streets, and though the work or rebuilding
may not be immediate, a grand step is made, as
the ground is ?leared for future action. Brick
cleaning is, however, not confined to these two lo?
calities. The piles a.' cleaned brick may be seen
io every part of the city, and aa soon as prosperity
returns and brighter prospects open, these piles
viii be made available, and the wilderness be made
to blossom like the roi?.
Th* Sea Island Tax Titlet.
A TEST QUESTION.
UNITBD STATIS DISTRICT COUBT.-Before His
Honor Jud^o iJryan_Ex parle Ephraim M. Bar?
nard, Executor of Wm. E. Baynard, vs. the United
States. Counsel for the United States, Major D.
T. C <rbin; for the plaintiffs, Mesara. W. Wbaley,
Mitehell ami Clancy.
'ibis was a case of appeal from the decision of
tho Direct Tax Commissioners, with reference to
laud* on tho Sea Islands which have been sold for
taxes, and derives great importanco from the fact
that it has been made a test question for a large
class of similar cases which have arisen during and
sinco t he wur. It will be remembered that the
General Assembly at ?ts last session appropriated
live thousand dollars for tho purpose of securing a
thorough legal investigation of the subject.
Tho chief features of the case, as stated by Wm.
Wbaley, Esq., counsel for defence, are as follows :
Thi.t William E. Baynard, in his life time, owned
Muddy Crook, Spanish Wells, and Braddock's
"oin c. He also owned other real estate, which was
either redeemod from the Tax Commissioners or
restorad by the Bureau. The whole amount of
taxes due by Mr. Baynard, including the penalty
and costs, did not amount to the stun of $700, and
vas paid by tho sale of Muddy Creek, which was
the placo first sold for taxes. Then followed the
Hale of Spanish Wells for $900, and Braddock's
Point for $1000. It appears from the evidence that
the property was sold on the 1st of Oc'obcr, 1863;
that the time for rodemptiou expired on the 1st of
December, 1865, and that Mr. Baynard's applica?
tion to the Bureau, dated 29th September, 1865,
was transferred, by order of General Saxton, to the
office of the Direct Tax Commissioners on the 21st
November, 1865. Thereupon, direct application
was made to the Commissioners by Mr. Baynard,
through his Solicitor, in November, 1865, and be
foro the expiration of the time limited by law.
The Commissioners refused the application for
redemption on the ground that Mr. Burnard had
not complied with the provisions of tho law, where?
as the circumstances do sliow that he did comply
in spirit, and in fact, and in accordance with the
universal cinstruction given to statute law.
The grounds of appeal taken by the learned
counsel were :
1. That tho application to the Freedmen's Bu?
reau was for restoration, and when said applica?
tion was transferred to the Tax Commissioners, it
was dne and sufficient notice to them of an appli?
cation for redemption.
2. That the memoranda and schedule of planta?
tions filed by the Solicitor of Mr. Baynard with
the Tax Commissioners was proper notice to them
of an application for redem ption.
3. That the application of tho solicitor was the
application of the principal in the case, and, under
tho law, unquestionably sufficient.
i. That the sale of Braddock's Point and Spanish
Wells was illegal and void, in view of the fact that
the previous sale of Muddy Creek had produced
thc amount necessary for the payment of the en?
tire tax on the entire property.
5. That the sale being illegal in part, was illegal
ab inilio.
The counsel in a concise and eloquent manner
reviewed the Act of Congress of August, 1861, impo?
sing a general tax upon South Carolina of $363,
570.66.
Section 13 provides for the assessment and
exemptions. Section 36 provides for the sale of
land, and redemption afterwards. It also provides
that the tax should first be collected from the
goods and chattels of tho delinquent with power
to distrain. It farther provides that where the
property is not divisible so as to enable the Tax
Collector, by the sale of a part thereof, to satisfy
hi9 claim, he may sell the whole and bid it in for
the United States, with the right of redemption in
two years.
Thia Act was followed by the Tax Act of 1862,
which gives a right of appeal to this Court i rom
the decision - of the Tax Commissioners, and the
District Court is authorized to . .o jurisdiction of
the same as in other cases involving the equity of
redemption. His Honor is therefore sitting here aa
a Judge in Equity.
Section 1 charges the direct tax upon the lands,
the assessment being according to the State valua?
tion of 1861, with a penalty of fifty par. cent, in
case of tardy payment, ?ection 3 gives the owner
the right to pay in sixty daya and discharge the
lien. Section 4 vests the title after sale in the
United States or purchasers.
The other provisions of this Act were amended
by the Act of 1863, with which we havo more es?
pecially to deal in the present case. Thia Act pro?
vides that each lot shall be sold teparaleiy after
tour weeks notice in the newspapers or three pub?
lic plaoea. The ownor is allowed to redeem within
sixty dava, upon appeAring in his own proper per?
son and taking the oath, if a citizen, and paying
the taxes, penalty and coots. If a minor, a non?
resident alien, a loyal citizen beyond the seas, a
person of unsound mind, or ander a legal dis?
ability, tho guardian, trustee, or other person
haring charge of the estate may redeem the same
at any time within two years after the sale there?
of in the manner above provided and with like
effect.
Mr. Baynard had conformed to these require?
ments of tho law. He had taken tho oath; ho was
not engaged in the war; ho was present in person
and by bis counsel when application for redemp?
tion waa made and prepared to satisfy the claims
against the prop?rty.
The learned counsel cited analogous cases in the
books, quoting the decisions of the Circuit and
Supreme Courts in determination of the chief
points of bis argument. We omit these authori?
ties, as not being matters of general interest. The
following were his concluding remarks:
Your Honor, I am done. If I have trespassed
upon your patience, or occupied your attention
for an undue length of time, it in because of the
great interests at stake in the decision of this
case. In its various bearings it is a case of grave
importance, and one which nas commended itself
not more to my judgment than to my feelings.
When we turn our eyes to Beaufort, that lovely
spot, where, in times past, has been congregated
so much of the representative wealth and intelli?
gence with which we are f atniliar, and think of tho
sad contrast between the present and a happy
past, how that fair land has been blighted, its pal?
ace bornes desolated, and its people driven abroad,
it is impossible to dwell upon the theme with any
other than a melancholy remembrance, or to feel
that we shall not receive justice wherever our sol?
emn cause is heard.
Major D. T. Corbin, United Slates District At?
torney, in reply to the argument of the counsel in
the defence, made the following pointa :
Under the provisions of the law imposing the
tax of $363,570 66 on South Carolina, and the acts
amendatory thereto, the land of the plaintiff was
sold December 1,1863.
It is especially not^d in advance that the consti?
tutionality of the Acta of August 5, 1861, and June
7, 1862, and Acts amendatory thereof, is not in
question. Nor is there any question as to thc as?
sessment and collection of the toa, the time and
manner of the sale, or the title passed by the Bale,
No such questions are mooted, and noshing will be
said of them in the argument,
i The Act under whir)) the land waa aold provides
j/-? ??demption and if its requirements i n that
re"Bpt^fc are .complied with, then the petitioner is
entitled f?d60111 ; if not, the law must take its
course. Lai?** HC!l* for dehi-quent taxes may be
redeemed bv " a non residont, alien, &c;
hythe guardian, ti^toc wether person having
charge of the person <* such person,"
ut any time within two yea?? ?"wtt-e sale thereof
in the following manner :
L He must appear in his own pr??PCT pwaou be?
fore the Board of Tax Commissioners. $> " a
?sen, he musttako the oath to support tho' Con?
stitution of the United States. 3. He must pa\v
the tax and penalty with interest from the date of
the President's proclamation at the rate of fifteen
per centum, together with the expenses of sale
and subsequent proceedings.
The Tax Commissioners, appointed under the
Act of June 7,1862, are ministerial officers, and are
bound to tho faithful performance of ah duties as
such. Whore discretion is given to them by the ,
statute, they must exercise it in good faith; and
where tho statute is positive and definite, they are
bouud to abide by its provisions. As to the man?
ner of redemption, they have no discretion. Where
au applicant fails to comply with the terms of the
law, the Commissioners have no power to aid him,
and he, therefore, cannot redeem.
It has not been pretended, in the argument of
the counsel for the plaintiff, that the petition was
:i petition to redeem. Then it does not conform
to tho law. But if it were, can that be regarded as
a personal appearance before the Commissioners
nu appearance attended by the payment of money
or thc taking of an oath-things essential to be
done before an indi vidual can redeem ? No Court
would dare to nu'iify a law by such a construction.
What does the petition ask? The application
tiled with General Saxton asks for a "return" of
the land. First, Who is Goucral Saxton, and what
had ho to do with it ? He ia a military officer,
with special functions - namely, the care "and con?
trol of tho colored people. He is not a com?
mander, and pretends to no such powers. Thia
paper is thrown into his office. Not having any?
thing to do with the matter, he sends it to the
Tax Commissioners. There ia a note on the back
which says : "Delivered to the Tax Commissioners
November 21, 18C7." This is not evidence of its
receipt by them, for the clerk who signed it ia not
an officer authorized to sign or maka up a record, ?
Suppose, however, it was received by the Commia
aioners, ie thia a compliance with the law ? Most
assuredly not. Hence where is the right to re
deoui ? Tbc Commissioners only could havo en?
dorsed that paper as they did the one presented
by Mr. Whaley ut their office-namely, "Sold De?
cember 1,1868, tor taxes, and now redeemable by
minora." This information tho petitioner was
bouud to notice, as it waa a matter of record. But
having obtained it, could he redeem bis laud un?
der any different rule than the one given by the
Statute ? Certainly not. The paper left by tho
counsel for tho plaintiff was not a potition to re?
deem, not a compliance, and hence so.-urcd no
right.
But suppose the paper handed to the Tax Com?
missioners by the couusel before the 1st of Decem?
ber, 1865, had been an application to redeem.
What then? He is not "the guardian, or trustee,
or other porson, having charge of the person or
estate of the minor." He cannot take the oath for
them ; if he could ho did not offer to do so ; and be
must still pay the tax, interest, penalty and ex?
penses within the two years limited by tho statute,
before he can redeem. Did he do this or offer to
do it ? No claim is made that he did.
Finally, the United States District Attorney in?
sisted :
1. That it was not within tho power of the Com?
missioners to allow the redemption of tho land of
the petitioner after the 1st of Eecember, 1865 ; and
2. The appearance and tender of the money for
taxes, inte* est, &c, not having boen made prior to
December ., 1865, tho time for redemption passed,
and the petitioner has no remedy in this form of
action.
The Court reserved ita decision.

Is Stimulai ion Necessary ?
Thia question is practically answered in tho affirma?
tive by thousands of physicians every day. Son. ?timos
they prescribe the ordinary forms of alcohol; sometimes
tinctures which aro simply inferior alcohol, moro or less
medicated ; but no small proportion of thc faculty give
the preference to HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS,
as the moat carefully prepared medicinal stimulant at
present known. It la impossible for prejudice itself to
be blind to the marked success with which this exti aor
dicacy tonic and alterative liss benn administered in
cases of DISPEPSIA during the lsst twenty years. If it
were possible to canvas the whole country for cases in
which ft had effected a cure of this obstinate and agoniz?
ing disease, they would number million*. No wonder,
then, that it baa become a STANDARD MEDICISK in every
State, city, town and viUagc in the United States, and
that names, the most distinguished in literature, art and
science, are the vouchers for its remarkable properties.
The immense manufactory at Pittsburgh, with its exten?
sive storehouses, is the largest establishment of the kind
m this country, and, probably, in thc world. The
amount of manual labor employed in the preparation of j
thc Bitters, to say nothing of the steam driven ma?
chinery, is greater than that of any other proprietary
medicine establishment on this continent, und, by the
blessings of Providence, the beneficial rJSoRs of this un?

ed by thia simple application to carriages, as the horses
eau be loosed from the carriage "ina twinkling," and the
