A Miss Dallas Lee, a respectable young woman aged about 30 years, was engaged as housekeeper for Mr. Jesse Kennedy, a widower with several children, and during his absence from home on Tuesday night, as is now sup? posed, Miss Lee was attacked and killed by a negro, who had previously attempted to out? rage her person. As she was the only witness against him in the case, which was soon to come to trial, it is now presumed that he took this method of putting her out of the way, The wretch attacked her with a knife, stabbing her in both arms and in the face, and cutting her throat nearly from ear to ear. More o? the Laud Ring. The people intend to hold Governor Scott and Attorney-General Chamberlain to a strict accountability for the infamous cheats of the Land Commission. These two offi? cers are members of the Advisory Board, which consists of five members only. It is generally admitted that F. L. Cardozo, the colored Secretary of State, is a plain-deal? ing, straightforward man, and that the Gov? ernor and Attorney-General could, with his assistance, control at all times the action of the Advisory Board, which, in turn, has by law absolute authority over the Land Com? missioner, and directs all. his official acts. The act providing for the appointment of a land commissioner requires that his bond shall be "approved by the Advisory Board," and that he shall "in all the duties imposed "upon him_be governed by their instruc "tions and advice;" and that the Advisory Board shall determine the price at which land may be purchased by the Land Com? missioner; and that the Land Commission? er "shall hold his qfice at the pleasure of "the Advisory Board." This is enough to ; establish the fact that the Advisory Board . are responsible for the official conduct of the Land Commissioner; and as the Governor, the Attorney-General and the Secretary of State are a majority of the board, these three officials are, before the public, responsible for both the Land Commissioner and the Advisory Board. Upon the Executive of the State, R. K. Scott, and upon the first law officer of the State, D. H. Chamberlain, there rests, however, a heavier burden. If they could not, as a minority, prevent the completion of illegal and corrupt bargains by the Advisory Board, they could take their stand upon the letter ?f .the law, and, as faithful guardians of the public interest, bring the offenders before the court3" of the State. Nor will it be denied that the Gov? ernor and Attorney-General could well, without the assistance of Secretary of State Cardozo, hold in check the schemes of Comptroller-General Jillson and State Treas? urer Parker. Governor Scott was supreme. The members of the Advisory Board dared not quarrel with him, and he and his hench? man, Mr. Chamberlain, had, at all times, the power to prevent stealing by their col? leagues, or by the Land Commissioner. This they did not .do; and the people, who bide their time, will not allow them to escape the consequences of their carelessness or crime. That public opinion justly stigmatizes the operations of the Land Commission as an infamous abuse of power, and a scandalous waste of the funds of the State, is shown by the cases, lately brought to light, in which three and fonr times its value has been paid for land bought by the commission, the ex? cess going, not into the pocket of the seller, bat into the money-box of some officer of the State. In Charleston County the Land Com? mission paid $120,000 for a tract of land for which the seller received only $30, OOO-loss to the Slate $90,000. In Oconee the Land Com? missioner bought 2000 acres of land at $6 an acre, which was not really worth more than $3 an acre-tos* to the State S6000. In Lancas? ter County the Land Commission paid $8032 for a tract of land declared by residents of the county to be utterly worthless-foss io Ute State $8032. In Beaufort County the Land Commissioner bought about 1900 acres of land at S 2 25 an acre, and made the seller sign titles at the rate of $5 an acre loss to the Slate $5500. And now we have, in the following letter, the particulars of a similar transaction in Darlington County: ' TO THE EDITOR OF TUE NEWS. The exposure you are making of tho viola? tion of oaths and law on the part of Scott, the law officer ot his crown, and of lils obsequious Legislature, In the matter ot the Land Commis? sion, call.-i to mind one singular circumstance in the great swindle. By order of the court, the clerk sold, on thc 6th December last, at Darlington, the lands of the late Colonel Samuel H. Wilds, on these terms, to-wlt : One third cash; the other two thirds, to be secured by bonds, personal sure? ties and mortgages. One John Lunney, county auditor, county senator, and a willing tool of that vulgar up? start, C. P. Leslie, became the purchaser of three tracts, a parcel of the Wilds lands, for the aggregate sum of five thousand nine hun? dred and eighty six dollars ai.1 ninety-five cents ($5,986 95.) The cash payment was made, amounting to one thousand nine hun? dred and ninety-five dollars and fifty-eight and one-third cents ($1,995 58$.) No other com? pliance with the terms of the sale has ever been had, and no title has ever been made to Lunney. Yet, on the 6th of January, 1870t Lunney, by deed, "in consideration of eleven thousand six hundred and three dollars and seventy-five cents ($11,603 7?) to bim paid by Charles P. Leslie, laud commissioner," con? veyed to said Leslie, and his successors in office, 14974 acres, being his purchase of the Wilds lands-the number of acres having been ascer? tained by one-Jackson, su> .^yor to the land commissioner. The deed wa? admitted to probate on-: dower \va3 renounced on the date of deed, which was recorded June 23d, 1870. Twelve dollars ;*I2) of stamps were paid. On the memorandum of the auc? tioneer Lunney was named as purchaser. When the clerk was preparing a transcript of the sale. Lunney o:... red C. P. Leslie to be nam- d as purchaser, and afterward h?.d that name erased and his own inserted. Thus the diflerence between the sum named in tho deed as paid, and the cash paid in by Lunney, amounts to the sum of nine thousand six hundred and eighteen 16j-UW (#9618, 163) dollars. Who has the money? Not the creditors of Wilds. Where ia lt ? All the transactions of this huge swindle seem to re? quire explanation. Who will tell us what has become of our money, nearly th? one-twen? tieth of the whole sum appropriated for this nefarious aud illegal electioneering scheme ? Will the virtuous Cham^-rlaln, the sneaking Lunney, the infamous Leslie, or the vulgar nondescript DeLarge? Who wi? look after the title ol the State ? Whee- iciness is it? Lunney has the people's money, and o? course ?eg-rc-gWBaag be 1B Interested tobe quiet. Leslie; ls~~out. of oi:3ce, and we suppose can' show a deed from Lunney, who had none. DeLarge bas enough' to do in seeking a seat In.Congress. Chamber? lain-ought to have a leisure moment to. advise "TheBoard," bat will he? We pause"for a reply. What we state can be tested by a visit to the office of Captain Charles, the clerk ol the court for Darlington. "The prooi ls documentary, and we have seen and read lt. No GrEss. Darlington, August 1, 1870. Upon these five transactions alone the ?03S to the State-that is, the difference be? tween the value of the land (or the amount paid the seller) and the price paid by the Land Commission-is no les3 than $119,150. And we undertake to say that similar trans? actions can be brought to light in every coun? ty in the State where the Land Commission, or their agents, have made purchases of land. These are the broad facts, without color? ing a3 without disguise. They determine the nefarious character of the transactions of the Land Commissioner, who is governed by "the instruction? and advice" of the Ad? visory Board, who "determine the price" at which the land is purchased. The Land Commissioner is required to make to the General Assembly, annually, "a detailed re .'port of the transactions of his office." That report has not been made. The Land Commissioner is . required to give surety in the sum of twenty thousand dollars-said undertaking to be approved by the Advisory Board-for the faithful discharge of the duties of his office. If the Advisory Board hold the Land Commissioner accountable to them for the operations of the commission, why have they not sued upon that bond ? Why is it charged that, instead of indicting Land Commissioner Leslie, or removing him preremptorily from office, the Advisory Board paid him $25,000, or more, to induce him to resign ? We say that the Advisory Board shall not evade the question. Land Commissioner Leslie 'may have done wrong, but the men who can stop stealing, and do not, are as guilty as the actual thief. And how much is added to their guilt when the officers of the law take the lion's share of the booty 1 Governor Scott is already on trial. The tarn of Attorney-General Chamberlain and of Messrs. Jillson and Parker will certainly come Bat it is not yet too late for a weak though well-meaning man to make a clean breast of the whole dirty business, and wash his hands before the people. Unless this one penitent be found, the same stamp will be set upon the foreheads of ail the members of the Advisory Board, and of all persons connected with the Land Ring. They will, all of them, be brawled as men who have taken advantage of their official position to cheat and bamboozle the people. And next, the courts of justice! THE Robbing Ring argue that their ad? ministration of the affairs of the State must be "ecomical, wise and honest,'' because South Carolina bonds, which had been down to the twenties, touched 95 cents on the dol? lar. We cheerfully admit that the bonds of the State did come within five cents of par. But this does not prove the truth of the ar? guments of the Ring. Their economy is, doubling the State debt. Their honesty is, defrauding the people by tbe swindling de? vices of the Land Commission, and their like. Their wisdom is, doubling taxation, for the benefit of a Ring of speculators. And we say emphatically, that South Caro? lina was better off four years ago with a debt of six millions and her bonds at thirty, than she is now with a debt of fourteen millions and ber bonds at seventy or eighty. TUE advertising rate3 of THE NEWS are fifteen cents a line, but we will publish, free or all charge, Governor Scott's denial of the statement made by General Butler, at Pickens Courthouse, that he has defiled the Executive Mansion, that he bas defrauded the State in a score of ways, that he has stirred up the antagonism of race, that he hos grown sleek and fat at the expense of the people. As Governor Scott ls a poor man, (worth only a million,) the offer of a gratuitous insertion of his explanatory state? ment may induce him to break the silence which damns him forever in the opinion o all the decent people of the State. AFTER all, what is the gain which thc peo? ple of the State derive from a rapid specula? tive advance in the price of the State bonds? The speculators make money ; but the perma? nent investors receive nothing more than their six per cent a year, whether the price of the bonds be twenty or two hundred. And we ask, What benefit is it to the people to receive their interest in gold, instead of in currency, when they are taxed by the State to pay the difference not only upon their own bonds, but upon ail the bonds pawned in New York, or held by stock speculators outside of the State ? THIS one advantage there is in run nie 2 np. the price of South Carolina bonds-it is easier to create new loans, and easier to sell the bonds when the loan ts authorized. And we undertake to say that the one con? trolling reason which led Scott <fc Co. to pas3 the Gold bill, and the Insurance bill, and tho monstrous Tax bill, was that without some such legerdemain, they could not successful? ly shuffle off the millions of dollars in bonds placed in the hands nf the cherubic Kimp ton. Hts Excellency Governor Scott can buy affidavits ai five dollars each, with a liberal discount upon taking a quantity. Why does he not publish a string cf such affida? vits to show that he U not guilty of the courges or venality and malicious miscon? duct publicly made against him ? These affidavits might convince a deaf and dumb man, who does not road THE NEWS, and it would be one .ute gained anyhow. WHEN Governor Scott left Ohio to come to this State iie paid taxes upon a blind mare valued at SH 75, and a dilapidated chaise valued at 6'?. For two yeats he ha3 been Governor of South Carolina, at a salary of $3500 a year. And now, accoru.'ug to hts own admission, he is worth S130.000. Where is the man that believes that thi3 huge sum was come by honestly ? Let him step for? ward. _ _ WHEN- Governor Scott retunn to Ohio next November he may set up as an auc? tioneer. But, unfortunately, he cannot sell out the v,./.ored pjople as he proposed to do about two years ago. ??Free Speech.'' To outer barbarians, the South Carolina Radicals are the lusty 'champions of Free Speech. This is the refrain of their formal gatherings, and the pebble with which th?y intend to slay the Goliath of Reform. But, to those who live within the borders of this politics-ridden State, it is clear enough that the Scott Party, while singing Let your thoughts be unconfined, Pat not a padlock on tte mind, do in sober truth exercise a despotic sway, where clubs and hooting are of any avail, over the political utterances of all but those whose political opinions jump handsomely with their own. In the Radical State Convention the gag was applied in the usual way. Even United States Senator Sawyer wa3 not allowed to go scot-free and was attempted to be brow? beaten into silence. At the Reform meet? ings in Charleston, and in Abbeville, the same game was desired to be played. And at the Radical meeting held in White Point Garden on Monday night, aband of partisan Radicals endeavored to carry out a similar programme. They did not succeed in all that had been marked out for them, but they did make the gathering a model of confusion and disorder. When the Reform Party hold a meeting all the Radicals unite in the vain effort to drown the voices of the speakers and to tire out the patience of their friends. When the Bowen wing of the Radical party call their clans together, the DeLargefaction do their best to drive their opponents out of the field. And when the DeLarge party, in turn, have a meeting, the Bowenites fight hard to break it up in a row. There is a ludicrous impar? tiality in the whole proceeding. As every candidate, and every section of a party, has its pet aversions, so each may expect to be yelled at, if not pelted with rocks, whenever it is wished to waste a score of blue-lights and rockets, or to administer, with effect, an oratorical tonic The squabblings of the Radical party are matters of little real consequence to the good people of the State, but they have a certain value as an indication of the systematic gag? ging and repression which would be the order of the day if the Reformers were de? feated by the minions of the Ring.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first In* troduced them to the notice of the American pub* Ile, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter Into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There ls hardly a elty or town or any note In the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and daily increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being d et ermined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of ilavor. It is a strlctty pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. Ia short, we th ink lt the best that ls made, at leas:, this ls the decision of the best judges In the conn* try. We don't pretend to compete m price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
