VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. ? CARPET-BAGGERY. THE NATIOB ON THE WOBK OE THE TAXPATEBS' CONVENTION. fe A. Northern Diagnosis of the Political Diseases of the South. [From tue Nation.] The report of the convention of taxpayers which met at Columbia. & C., in Hay, has just been issued in an authentic shape, and con? tains perhaps the most coherent statement of the opinions of the disfranchised class of South? erners that has appeared since the process of reconstruction began. It derives all the more weight from the fact that the assertions lt makes about the condition of affairs in South Carolina are now generally' acknowledged by Northern observers to be true, or, at all events, well founded. When the first outcry reached ns from Southerners about' the doings, of the sew governing class which was called into ex- : iatence by the Beconstructlon acts, there was very little disposition at the North to pay any attention to it. It waa thought not at ail un? natural that the slaveholders should wince at seeing their old slaves and their late enemies legislating for them, and then the .Southern press and Southern orators bad stich a repu ta -eon for rhodomontade, and exaggeration, and misrepresentation, that very few people here paid mach serious attention to anything that came from them. There was, moreover, a dis? position which has now nearly, died out, out which waa the natural product of the war, to treat all the misfortunes of the "ex rebels"' as no worse than they deserved ; and aome of their sorrows were too purely the Bor? rows of a fallen aristocracy to be understood or sympathized with,, even it" understood, in a Democratic community. The enormities of the "carpet-baggers" began to come to light at a very early period, oat they made tittie ? impression, lor two reasons : one was that m there was a general expectation at the North, after the war, that the regeneration of the South would be worked by ah Influx of Bet tiers and capitalists irom the North; and there was a strong and widely diffused disposition to, j encourage this Northern emigration, and to think and speak well of the emigrants, and a strong indisposition to - believe evil of them. The denunciations of ?the natives were, there? fore, disregarded or laughed at, and, more . than this, there was an- amusing effort made, by the Northern press to take all the reproach out ol the word "carpet-bagger." We were told that the Pilgrim Fathers were "carpet-1 baggers;" that all N?-w Englanders in the west were carpet-baggers; and. Jn fact; that every man ?ho went to a' new country In order to better his condition wasa "carpet-bagger," just as lithe term connoted nothing but change of residence with a email amount of baggage. The carpet-baggers, too. being all politicians, and Republican politicians to booti naturally received a good deal of sympathy and support ? from their brethren at home. They were look? ed oneither as missionaries spreading the faith j in troublous places, or as very shrewd mana-1 gera, whose skill deserved anything in the j shape of reward they could lay hands on. Many a poor devil, whote labors in caucus and convention at home brought up. I ftothing better than one chance in twelve of a iiostofnce or a weigher-ship, envied the lucky ellows who had gone to the South from their ? side, and turned up in a few months members of the Legislature or of Congress, or State treasurers, or auditors, or county clerks, in lands where bookkeeping was in its lo fan cv, and constituents 'were neither inquisitive nor. euspiolous. Ail these.were. In their eyes ' the j l?gitim?t^ prizes of ah arduous and poorly I paid calling, the winners of which might' he J envied, but not denounced. The convention was a most respectable body, and represented almost the whole of the taxpaying portion ol the'population.. To Ita competency to speak for the community even such Radical organsas l the Charleston Republican bore strong testi? mony, and it is safe to infer, therefore, that [ something useful may be learned tro m its pro ceedings, both of the actual condition ? of gov-? ' ernment and society at the South and of the temper and tone of thought of that large body of persons who, though temporarily- excluded from all Bhare in the^overnment, ara, it Is conceded on ail bands, the persons who must eventually purity .Southern politics, if they can be purified. We say of tho -neural .conaraon- - of society andgo vern ment at the South," be? cause, although we are only- talking of South Carolina, that State presents an aggravated case of a disease from which most ot tue South? ern States are suLTeriqg. The first thing the convention did was natu? rally enough to look Into' the condition/of the State finances, and Its reporta on this point, will furnish a good study to those who are in? terested lu what we may coil morbid politics- ! that LB, the politics ol sick societies-tor its re semblance to.the financial .exhibits which mu? nicipal -reformera occas lc ually lay before the-j public in this city 1B very curious, particularly In the Item of salaries, which, we need hardly say, have all ' risen greatly. The committee of the convention compares' the amounts paid in L366, when the new r?gime was established, and those paid this year, and the way the in? crease la distributed elves one an instructive glimpse of tbe carpet-bag ideas about admin? istration- and carpet-bag-ways of estimating the value-and impoitanca of services. For instance, the Governor's salary remains the same, $3500. and. the annual amount paid to the judges is actually diminished irom 130,000 to (28,000, though, 'there la a slight in? crease- In the .salaries of the chief jus? tice and the associate justices.- But the expenses of the secretary ot State's office, In? cluding his salary, rose at one jump from $500 to $1000. The "adjutant-inspector-genera!," who bas, we believe, no duties, and is himself a hollow mockery, cost the State nothing In 1866, but now the sorry wag pockets $2500 a year. The treasurer's office used to cost $3200 a year, it now costs $6800; and the attorney general used to cost $1100, be now costs $4000;. ie clerk of the court ol appeals used to- cost $800, he now costs $1600. The "solicitors," whatever they are, used to cost $4800, but the State now pays them $8000. '-The auditor of| State," apparently a new officer, gets $4000. But the gem of the accounts is the item called "legislative expenses," to. which we have, however, called attention In the Nation before sow. These were, si 1866, $45,850, and less, we believe, pre.vIouix;. in 1871 they were $400,000. Of this enormous som we believe ? large portion ls drawn from the treasury on the speaker's order, or that o? the president ot the Senate, in advance ot any appropriation. The most taking item in the account, which in manv ways surpasses anything to which we have been treated in New York, is $15,000 to a "commission to. codify the laws," the duties of which, the report Bays, "might be discharged by a ' clerk"-which is either a severe reflection on carpet-bag jurisprudence or very high praise of it. Laws that a clerk can coally were either not worth making, or were so woll made that he who runs may read Ahem. Finally,', the State taxes of the year reach $2,000.000, aa against $400.000 before the war, while the value of the taxable property is diminished by one-half, j Want of Bpece coun? sels us to pass over without cotice the charges brought by the convention against the State -Government, in connection with their man? agement of the Mate, .credit; the repudiation ofthe "fire loan" contacted to rebuild Charles? ton in 1838; their failure to publish accurate accounts of the amount of the State debt, or to exact proper bonds from the State financial agents; their'reckless lending of the State credit, and their perpetration of divers jobs of greater or less magnitude. As regards the state of mind of the dele? gates, as revealed in the resolutions, it is clearly that ol "unrepentant rebels;" that ls, ther express no regret or shame at having en? gaged lb the war, and invariably allude to "the cause" as highly respectable, aud their past as great and glorious; but they acknowl? edge their defeat in the frankest way, and solemnly accept the results of the war as "finalities." There is also running through the speeches and resolutions that curious undertone of discontent with the way the game which they have lost was carried on, which has been the one thoroughly childish thing m the Southern demeanor both during and since the war. The South challenged the North to'fight, with-barbarlo confidence and exultation, and well knowing what the condi? tions, consequences and accompaniments of warwere, and did everything that insoleuce of language and . behavior could do to Infuse bitterness into the struggle, and well know? ing, too, that 38 it was about slavery the war bad begun, and as "slavery was the very basia of Southern society, the whole social system ol the South, as well as its political -rights, were staked on the result. Nevertheless, from first to last; ii bas never ceased to lament over the devastation wrought by the fighting, aa l -%ara -were usually carried on without de vastation, and ever since the close of the war it has lamented over the harshness of the vlc tor'ln making his own terms of peace, and In not dealing gently with the vanquished, as if the South had carried it on ? Vamiable, as the French say, or la a way to soothe Northern feelings or disarm Northern prejudices. The convention keeps up this dismal strain, and affirms that the South has been very hardly treated,'but, nevertheless, declares that they meditate no resistance to the United States Government, and intend to conduct them? selves as peaceful, law-abiding citizens, to treat the reconstruction ' measures as "finali? ties," and "obey them in letter and in spirit;" that they "look to time and peacefnl measures and the quiet influence of an enlightened pub? lic opinion'. to sol ve the difficulty of Southern politics, and they "deprecate local disturb? ances, " and appeal to the people to respect the laws, and to look to them, and them only, for the redress of their grievances; and they sup? ported .this by other, resolutions, providing for inquiry into the existence of violence and out? rage, and the best means of repressing them. The committee charged with this Inquiry re? ported that ^violence prevailed to a greater or less extent In several counties of the State, but that in by far the larger number of counties no case of violence had been brought to their attention." These deeds of violence, they say, were "first simple larcenies and In? cendiarism, practiced by Ignorant, deluded and bad men;" then cs.ne "Instances of corporeal punishments arid homicides, perpetrated by unknown persons en citizens, and even upon a few officials of the government," all of which the committee pronounce "lamentable truths, which the; feel Called upon unequivocally deplore and condemn." Their remedy for all j these evils Is one with which we In this part i the country are very familiar, but which bas-] hardly as practical a ring as one would wish, namely, "the removal of all dishonest, incom? petent and bad mea from office." The deter? mination which they else wt ?re express to push vigorously for minority representation, and not to give up the game or lit-silent while Northern knaves help Ignorant negroes to SI under the State, but to keep agitating, de ounclng and exposing, until they bring re lorm about, has a more hopeful sound; and In oil thia, as-long as they show a sincere deter? mination to accept the fact that the people of South Carolina now m ea UR the whole popula? tion oflt, thoy will have tho hearty sympathy of the best Northerners.

[FROM O?B OWN CORRESPONDENT, j - CHEROKEE Sparsas, July 5 Were you ever at Cherokee Springs; eight miles north of Spartanburg Courthouse ? No, But you have been at Greenbri?r, Saratoga and other fashionable watering places. Did you go for health or pleasure ? When, next you are la quest of a fine bracing climate, about a day's ride from the Blue Ridge, whence salu? brious winds come sweeping down; water possessing" a rare combination of medicinal properties, and fare good enough for a prince, you need not go beyond, the boundaries of South Carolina. The springs of which . we. speak- are not without reputation, and from the remote pe? riod when the "Cherokees resorted ."thither to drink and bathe In the water when needing relief from their maladies, and from whom the crystal stream running through the ground and the springs, alike, take .their .name, until the present day, the water lias been regard i . as a specific for certain dis? eases and conditions of- the human system. Many years ago, before a house was erected on the site, lamil les came from the surround? ing country and even beyond, and, pitching their canvas tents, sojourned until they had fully tested the virtues of the water. The chief properties of the waterare : Chaly? beate, which largely predominates, and a pro? portionate quantity, regulated hy the unerring hand of nature, of magnesia,. sulphur and nitre.

Nature seems to have designated the spot both on account ol its curative elements and its Inviting loveliness. The plateau,'- occupied by the large hotels- commodious cabins, store? house, &c-all white and clean and cheerful in their aspect-is composed of a group of hil? locks, winding streams and a magnificent grove of water, post, red and white oaks, hickory and walnut Many of these trees have Siown to an Immense Blze, and-stretch their le nd ly arms over the grounds, and throw their refreshing shadows gratefully upon the hamlet, and thus render the spot cool and pieasai.from rosy morn to dewy eve, whilst beneath your teet is spread an emerald carpet, affording relief to th? eye even at-the piping hour of noon. Th? grove literally swarms with birds'that hare been rendered unusually tame by reason of the hospitable treatment of the proprietor, who ls kin;: to man and beast, we have, In the language ot the lamented Simms, "the mock-bird with his various melodies, a feath? ered satirist, who can, however, forget his sarcasm In his passion; the red-bird and the nonpareil,' with softer and simpler notes, which may be merry as well as tender, bat are never scornful; the humming-bird, that rare Bucker ot sweets-himself a dower of the air-pio? neer of the fairies, that finds ont the best flow? ers ere they come, and rifles diem In advance:" and besides these, the wren, robbiu, blue-bird, cat-bird, swamp sparrow and other kinds; and .ere "Jocund day stands tiptoe on tho misty mountain top," these minstrels of the grand old wood-about twenty varieties In all-salute your ear with their matin hymns ascending td Him ' whose throne is encompassed with the symphonies of supernal songsters !

ALL ABOUT THE STATE. Lancaster. Ero ai the Lancaster Ledger we learn th ut accounts, from the cotton and -corn crops in that county still continue favorable. The Led? ger has beard of a little rust in one section north of the Courthouse, but not calculated to do much damage. The Ledger also says, ia refereace to sales day: "The sheriff disposed of but cae tract of land on last Monday, 1150 acres for $3000. A. C. Ivy purchaser. A large amount of choses in action was sold in bankruptcy, bringing fair prices. The number of people In town .was unusually large for this season of the year." The same paper is disposed to brag. It says: "Lancaster stands at the head of the roll ia the prompt payment of taxes the past year. There ware about thirty delinquents in the county, a small cumber compared with other counties. We notice In nome o? our exchanges that three and tour hundred tracts of land are advertised, embracing many large plantations. All in all, we feel that we are Ia as prosperous condition as any of our neigh? bors, though deprived of railroad facilities." Clarendon. Judge M. M. Benbow and Hr. W. C. Bruce were nominated on last sales-day, at Manning, as candidates to fill the vacancies on the board of county commissioners. - -The Uncononlc paper mill at Concord, N.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]. NEW YORK, July 7r Foster, the street car murderer, gets anoth? er chance for his life. He Was to have been hanged on Friday of next week. His counsel, Mr. Stuart, made two unsuccessful attempts to get a stay of execution from the New York judges. In 'his despair, he ap? plied to a Brooklyn judge of the Su? preme Court, and found more mercy. A writ of error was obtained, the effect of which will be to throw the argument j for a'new trial over until the November meet? ing of the court. 'The action of Judge Pratt is generally condemned by the press. The swift conviction of the street car ruffian has had the effect bf spreading a wholesome terror among his class, which' would probably have been j made permanent by the certain execution of ? the murderer at the time appointed. ? No one believes now that Foster will meet his just | doom. By winter all Interest lu the case will j bave died out, and If a new trial ls granted, ouvmaudlin juries will And for manslaughter only. Foster owes his life to the fidelity and ?erse veranee of lils counsel, ex-Judge Stuart, he lawyer took a fancy to bis client, and has really been as much concerned about him as a farmer would be about his dying bull-dog. Apprehensions exist o? a terrible riot on next Wednesday, the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. The feeling between the Catii- j oilc and Protestant Irishmen rs extremely bitter, and last year, on the occasion of the Orange celebration, culminated in fighting and bloodshed; Efforts have been made to in? duce the Orangemen to omit their public de? monstration this year, but they urge that the Catholic Irish have processions in the streets whenever lt snits them and are not molested, and that, as peaceably disposed citizens, they have the same. rights. The-HI bb on m en com? plain that their old foes march defiantly through the Irish Catholic quarters, flaunting offensive banners and playing those insulting Orange airs which for generations haye been . a signal for a scrimmage. There is evidently a deep-seated determina? tion among the more irrascible of the Ribbon-' men to.resent the Orange ' demonstration lilt j comes off this year. On the other band, the North of Ireland men are equally as. stubborn and resolved. A meeting ot the Orange socie? ties .was held at Military Hail, last night, and lt was voted, almost unanimously, to have the parade on Wednesday. Probably the mayor will have to Issue a proclamation cal ling. on the citizens to preserve the-peace, and the police wilirbe out rn great force.

The spirit of our French residents ls by no means broken by the disasters of the late war. ft is to be reasserted In the shape ot a distinc? tively Gallic militia regiment. The famous old Piny-fifth,; the T&rae'??jAfayette^was th? French regiment before ?hr civil war. It went nto th? conflict with Its colonel, the gallant je Gal at its head, and suffered-'severely. Daring and since th? war, several German jompanles . were added to lt, and now it is ilmost exclusively a German regiment. The frenchmen have all dropped out in consc? ience of the feeling engendered by the .ecent fighting on the continent.- Colonel je Gal is foremost in getting up the new french regiment; Beveral companies have leen formed, the uniform ot the-Chasseurs of 'lncennes has been selected, and. the first., larnde will take place ou j Lafayette's birth-J j .I^P^^f?^e^ihg'tn?st of ita. stock taken up las aroused the old underground company to .ctlvlty. The.latter road was chartered about bree years ago. It was to be built und-.- ? ground from.the Battery to Hartem, and' ?voa ( 0 be finished ini.de of five years. Th? pro- ] eotors, taking the London Metropolitan Kail ray as a pattern, believed the underground to ie feasible here. But when the stock was put lefore the public capitalists would'*not Bub cribe a cent. The scheme languished, ground vas not broken, and latterly the road has ra? ted from public recollection.

The dlrec ors held a meeting on Wednesday and elected 1 hew working board of officers,- with Oliver 77. Barnes as president. Probably ex c?va? lo ns for the road will be commenced at once 10 as to bead off any attempt of the viaduct :o ru pa ay to get the Legislature next winter to evoke the underground charter.

The work has made such progress lately that the ?nlshlng stroke ls expected la about threa years. Many other magnificent edifices are going up about town, notably among them tho new Masonic Hall, at -the corner of Sixth ave? nue and Twenty-third street, opposite Booth's theatre. It is being built of granite and ina style of architecture corresponding witb the great dramatic temple over the way. I must not omit to report progress on the Brooklyn bridge. The tower on the Lo og island Bide rises slowly, but ls now of sufficient height to form a conspicuous object on the river. Nothing has yet been doue, on the New York aide, except to sound for the foundation of the other tower. The work on the new dock trout is about to begin. *The commissioners have resolved to begin a pier five hundred feet long and sixty feet wide at the foot of Fifty-seventh street, E. R.

The statement telegraphed to New York from London to the effect that Assistant Secre? tary Richardson, now in London, has perfectly succeeded in his negotiations in connection with the new five per cent, loan is not corrob? orated by any intelligence received at the treasury department. On the contrary, what is known in relation to the operations of Mr. Boutwell's agents who have gone abroad to sell the new Bonds is rather discouraging than otherwise. At home the result thus far is any? thing but flattering, inasmuch as the entire subscription to the five per cents, does not yet reach seventy millions, of which sum at least sixty millions have been taken by trans? ferring by the national banks, so that the new subscriptions to-this, the most advan? tageous clins of the bonds of the new loan ia the United States, is short of tea mil? lions, and so for none of it has been taken abroad, while not a dollar of the 4? and 4 per cent, bonds hos yet been placed here or In Eu? rope; and lt should be remembered In this con? nection that the new loan has been on the mar? ket. Now the cost of th? negotiations, as lar as they have proceeded in the way of advertis? ing, has already reached the sum of $800,000; and to this sum must be added the commis? sions on the amount subscribed, and also the expense ot the costly expeditions that have been sent to Europe to push the bonds there, which cannot fall far short of $50,000 ia gold. From tlie above facts, there seems to be some foundation for the statement, current here to? day, to the effect that the Secretary of the Treasury has ordered the bank note companies in New York to suspend work on the printing of the new bonds. NEW YORK. July 10. It is freely reported that the n?w govern? ment loau has been withdrawn from the mar? ket. WASHINGTON, July 10. The reported withdrawal of the new loan finde credence here In well-informed circles, from an understanding that the negotiations for absorption ol five hundred millions of five twenties of 1972 are about concluded. .w THE CONNECTICUT BORGIA. The Shocking Ile cord or Her Murders Damning Evidence at the Prelimina? ry Trial-Unabashed Demeanor of the ''Accused. Oar readers have been made acquainted with the circumstances connected with the arrest of a. Mrs. Sherman, , at Derby, Connecticut, charged with having murdered, within the pe? riod of a few years, three husbands and eight children, In every instance by the facile and eure and readily-concealed meiLod of poison. The monster woman, whose career in mur? der has thus at last been arrested, is bat tor ty-seven years of age, although bearing a : load of guilt upon her -soul which lt would seem centuries of orime could not have ac? cumulated. She is a native of New Jersey, lost both parents in infancy, and was married ta her first husband at" the age bf seventeen, by whom she -had several children, six of whom, all under ten years, and. the husband himself, died very 'suddenly within a single year. Her second "husband,, whom she mar? ried soon after the disappearance of her family, which lt does not appear excited any suspicion ot wrong, was an old man of .property, who died, suddenly also, within fourteen months of the marriage, but not without; exciting some suspicions In the minds of the doctors who attended him, which, for reasons not stated, they never, made known. The third and last husband was married to her some ten months since, hobing four, children by a former wife, whom he Introduced into the hew family.. Two of these children, a girl of flf-1 teen years and -an Infant of eleven months, died suddenly within six or eight months after their relationship to their step-mother, and still without arousing suspicion: although it is remarkable that all these sudden deaths .oe curred from the same cause." or'with the I same symptoms of disease-cramps, . vio lent fover and vomiting.. after the death of. these step-children, there seems to have been a disagreement between lira: Sherman and her husband, which led to their living partially? apart. He fell Into un? steady and wasteful habits, and estranged himself more or less- from ' his home, and re? cently be'died with the same suddenness and under the same circumstances which had at tended the death of the eleven Individuals of the family who had preceded him. .Suspicion being now aroused, a post mortem examination was had, and the unquestionable presence of arsenic In the stomach aaoertaiued. The bod les of the two children also were exhumed, I and ample proof discovered ot their having I been poisoned. The preliminary examination of the female monster was commenced-on Thursday at I Derby, Ct., the scene of the untimely end of her victims. Although there, ls no positive evidence that she administered the arsenic, there is evidence that four, of those deceased j Eersons died from the effects of that drug, viz : er last two husbands and ? her last husband's two children. There is evidence that she had arsenic In her possession, and that when call ed upon to account for its absence, was nuable to do BO. Professor Baker, the chemist who made an analytic examination of the stomachs and livers of the deceased persons, testified unequivocally that arsenic was- found in those [ organs in sufficient quantities to produce I death, and that death -did result from the presence of this polsou. All that remains to be done is. to prove that Mrs. Sher man is the person . who administered the deadly medicine. ? Circumstances can point to uo one else, 'and circumstances point fiercely it her. Still she appears to regard the serious 1 charge as a very light matter. During the I trial, and while the doctors who attended the victims were giving their testimony, she naintained the ro?e of Injured innocence, and I 3tared*unabaBbed around the court-room, her I piercing black eye never once wincing under .he most determined look of her prosecutors. But when Professor Baker, took the stand and rave his testimony , os to the finding of the I jolson; stating that in the liver alone of her t iecond husband, Huribut, he found a sufficient j juantlty of arsenic to kill three men; - she bc-1 ?me exceedingly nervous, and-for-the first I ;lmeJierj?fi3.80u?ht reiuge ttHfeir-feML fan. | s denounced by.all who have seen her as the nost accomplished dissembler and shrew'that I wer became publicly known, and yet, strange ia-lt may appear, this class ot-women always I let the lie ads ot a class of men crazy.

THE EVILS OF THE OLDEN TIME. A Shocking Rt relation-The Father of HU Country Figuring as a Romp. The following extract from the journal of a young lady in Virginia, whojn 1772 visited the Lees and Washingtons on the Potomac, gives a different idea of the Father of his Country from that which has been generally enter? tained: I must tell you our frolic alter we went to our room, we took lt i nto.our heads to want to eat. Well, we trad a large dish of bacon and beef; after that a bowl ot sago cream; abd j alter that aa apple pie. ^Vhlle we were eating the apple pie in bed-God bless you making a great noise-In came Mr.- Washing? ton, dressed tn Hannah's short gown and pet? ticoat, and seized and Irissed me twenty times, ia spite of ail the resistance I could make, andi then cousin Molly. Hannah soon followed, dressed In his coat. They joined us in eating the apple pie, and then went out. After this we took it into our heads to want to eat oys? ters. We got up, put on -oar wrappers, and went down Into the cellar tb get them. Do you think Mr. Washington did not follow us and scare us just to death ? We went up, though, and eat our oysters. We slept ia the old lady's room, too, and she sat laughing flt to kill herself at us. ( Wonder where the pickles were ?) Ti this were not published in an authorita-1 ti ve manaor, we should doubt its authenticity. The idea of George Washington dressed in a J woman's short-gown and petticoat going wUh another woman dressed in his coat Into the bedroom of some young ladles-who were alt-1 ting up in bed at .night eating bacon and beef, sago cream, add apple pie, and joining in the frolic, ls something astonishing. Not satisfied with this, it seems that when the young women afterward went down to the cellar to get spme oysters to complete their banquet, Washing- j ton followed them and scared- them nearly to death. We are; afraid that 'our' stereotyped conception of Washington's" character will have to be considerably mnrHfled'by these rev -eituiuus.-- I . ."-. THINGS IN NEW YORK.
