Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. lie East Bar, Charleaton. S.O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1871. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gola closed heavy in New York, at ll;. _in New York cotton was -easier but not quotabiy lower: uplands 18jc; sales 4240 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed firm; uplands 9? 1; Orleans 9^a9?d; sales 15,000 bales. -Mr. Waller, proprietor of the London Times, has been made a Peer of the Realm. -The Springfield Republican thinks "Tam manjis"n at Washington must be got lid of us well as Tammauyism lr New York." -It is said that the small pox now raging in Philadelphia was brought there in bales of buffalo robes taken .rom the Piegan camps. -The full extent of the horror of Chicago will probably never be known, bul as meu s minds are gradually calming down ihey are beginning to diecover that the loss of life was even more serious than has yet been dis? covered. Distracted friends are looking around in all directions for friends who will never again respond to inquiries, and who are heedless of the search fur them. Long lists o? he missing are given in the Chicago papers. -While the editor of the New York Sun waa assistant Secretary of State under Mr. Stanton, he rendered General Grant service, of which he reminds him in answering a charge that he was personally hostile to the President. He says: "We have no more per? sonal hostility against General Grant now than we had In 1863, when, at Vicksburg, we saved bim from being relieved from his com? mand and sent back to sell sole leather at Galena OD a salary of $800 a year." -There is not any room for doubting that the coming winter ls to be awfully cold. The prophets all say so, and the man is insane who disputes the prophets. They have fouud the moss growing thies: on the trees, frogs standing on their beads, sunflowers pointing toward the North Pole, grape vines running around poles Instead of up them, and there are a thousand other signs to show that every human being will be lrozen as sllflas a chip belore February. -A Washington letter says: "The pardon of Bowen being alluded to in a recent con? versation, Akerman said he warned lt under? stood that that was not his affair-that Mrs. Bowen had got Mrs. Grant ito promise it. The President was not disposed to carry it out, but held lt back for a week, but finally allowed it to issue. There Is going to be an animated contest over DeLarge's seat, which Bowen ls contesting; but from thc position af fnlrrt ha- rppfinflv naP"T>'l thorp la very Ut-_ tie doubt of DeLarge's maintaining his righf to his seat. The project of running Bowen lor Governor has been entirely abandoned." -The carnet-baggers are trying to disturb the lilies to .eal estate In New Orleans tn or? der io grab some of the mo6t valuable proper? ty lhere. A large portion of the reai estate in Louisiana ls held under grants and lilies irom the former French and Spanish Governments. These titles, under old surveys, have been held as good, without confirmation by the United States; but under some recent act cl Congress, the provisions of which are not genet ally known in Louisiana, it is claimed that in all cases where the title has not been confirmed, or where the surveys caunot be lound in the Land office, the property is pub? lic land, which must be turned over to the United States, subject to entry under the pro? visions of the homestead law. -The fruitful subject of Seneca sandstone has been found worthy of consideration by the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, in common with many other Scribes. After viewing on all sides the rumors concerning the Presidential sale of stock, the correspondent inclines to the belief that Grant is beginning to be worried somewhat, and is becoming noxious to cover up or get um of al1 his questionable transactions; and that "ii the said stone stock doesn't pay, you may rest assured lhe President wants to dispose of lt." Very much like some other men. Broiher in law Dent says that lt is all nonsense-the President will not sell. Wherefore it ls to be logically Inferred that the said sleek does pay; and the subject remains in statu quo. -The Washington correspondent of the Bal? timore Gaz-tte-perhaps the most uncompro? mising Democratic Journal in the country writes : "With reference to the conferene ol leading Democrats upon th? approaching Presidential canvass, a letter waa shown us to-day lrom a party manager in Ohio, who says the conference* is invited to come off io New York, during the latter part of this month; that musli has already been done to? wards au understanding, through correspond? ence; that singularly enough, the most promi? nent sticklers lor party organization hereto? fore are now favoring a coaiiilon of lhe Demo? crats with Conservative elements ot'tside, and the nomination of candidates for President and vice-President to represent this coalesced organization." -We have from Eugland an awful instance oi the demoralizing influence of Mr. ^arwin's monk *y theory upon a susceptible and sensl. tlve mind. A yoimg man, the other day, drowned himself In the River Eden, at.Carlisle. Before ihe suicide took the latal jump, he handed to an old man a packet to be delivered to the chief constable. In this was a last let? ter, saying that, as Mr. Darwin had proved men to be descended from monkeys, the writer did not wish to live any longer. This sensi? tive youth might have reconciled himself to continued existence If he had only been told that bis great-great-grandfather was hung lor horse-stealing; but io be convinced that the ancestors whom he had always held in pious reverence were merely monkeys, or chimpan? zees, or baboons, or gorillas, was more than a haughty Briton could endure. -The New York Sun says: "Iaformatlon has reached, us, from a source entitled io credit, that the British Government has been negotiating, and has nearly concluded the ne? gotiation, for the purchase of the Atlantic telegraph cable. The story ls confirmed by tho well known fact that a ring or syndicate ol London capitalists has lately paid $25.000 Hr the privilege of purchasing, within nineiy dav.-, and at ninety cents on the dolla-, $2,500.000 of the stuck of the New York and Newfuundlan I Telegraph Company, the wires Of which form Ihe exclusive connection b.? What Will ?le Do With It ? tween the western end o? the Atlantic cable and the telegraph 3j6tem of the United States The British Government probably desires to work the whole line between Ireland and America, in connection with the land lines of the United Kingdom, which it has been operating for more than a year, and, as it is reported, with considerable success." -Among the most interesting sights to be seen ut the theatre in Silt Lake City is the young army of Youngs, the Prophet's progeny who generally occupy the benches along one side of the parquet. Bjys and girls, young men and young women, apparently without number, ranging in years from seven to twenty, play and sport with each other like so many kittens. Finer or healthier specimens of humanity you cannot find anywhere. The male portion are siroug. Healthy and robust; the females very womanly looking, with clear complexions and bright eyes. They have all splendid teeth and beautitnl heads of hair. The t-'irls are very roguish, and are not at ali averse to levelling their opera-glasses upon any handsome and noted Gentle who may be present. They seem to appreciate return glances, and then laugh and giggle over the fun like a lot of school girls. Getting a lull view of the family ol the Prophet, and dissect? ing them mentally, morally and physically, the unprejudiced thinker cannot agree with thage philosophers who assert that the ofl , spring of polygamie marriages are weak and puny creatures. T iat such may be the case in some instances may be true; but in no Eense can lt apply to the Young family. / The stick-to it policy which the obsequi? os Columbia i'nion followed so vigorously until ?ts own exaggerations, and the lalse boods of its correspondents, gave President Grant an excuse for carrying into effect his settled determination to establish martial law ia South Carolina, is likely to be pur? sued with equal effrontery in the expectation that the bare word of Governor Scott and of j the Union will outweigh the public declara? tions of men like Bonham, Butler, Trenholm and Shannon, and other leading members of | the T^tjmgra^QDvejDjLjg^ That Conven? tion wai" beT?^?^aa?e of the precarious finan? cial condition of the State, and because, under a law adopted at the session of 1870 71, the taxes of two years were made pay? able within twelve months, viz: the tax of j 1870, arflouutingto $2,265,047, before March 13, 1S71, and the tax of 1871, amounting to $1,830,000, before January 15, 1872. This question of taxation was the dominant sub? ject in the minds of the delegates, and it colored their deliberations from the first to the last. A committee of eleven was ap? pointed to advi8ewith Governor Scott, which committee consisted of the following dele? gates: M. C. Butler, Cad wallader Jones, Gabriel Cannon, B. W. Ball, W. H. Wallace, Richard Lathers, A. it. Lowry, G. A. Tren? holm, E. J. Scott, W. B. Smith and W. C. Weatherley. A committee of five was also appointed to confer with the Governor "In "relation to the postponement of the collec? tion o? taxes, to be raised in November en? duing, and report upon the same to this "Convention," which committeecjnsisted of Messrs. T. Y. Simou?, W. M. Shannon, M. L. Bonham, James H. Giles and J. P. Rich? ardson. Both com nittees made formal re? ports. The cjinmiuee of rive reported as follows: "The Special Com nittee directed by the Con? vention tu coiner WITH lue t?overuui ur me State, lu relation to the postponement of the collection ol the taxes In November ensuing, beg leave to report : "That impressed with the conviction, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, and In view ol the fact that the peoplf ol the State ure thus called upon to pay the taxes for two separate years in one, of the Justice of the measure of relief proposed, they have had an Interview with the Governor, who has autho? rized them to state to the Convention, that while the various otfees will be open in Novem? ber for the reception of the taxes at that time, lrom such of the citizens as may be then pre? pared to pay Ihera, yet that THE PERIOD FOB THEIR PAYMENT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE FIRST OF MARCH, 1S72, within which time if payment is made no penalty will attach. "T. Y. SIMONS, Chairman." And the committee of eleven, in their re? port to the Convention 3av "Your committee urged the inability of the people, after paying the taxes now belnc col? lected, to pay a second tax in November next. His Excellency said in reply, that it had been represented to him by well-informed citizens in several parts of the State, that lor a large class of citizens, whose taxes were small lo amount, the month ol' November was a more conveni? ent lime ol payment than any other; and he hoped that to tills class of our citizens the col? lection of thc tax at that time would not prove oppressive. But. yielding to the representation oj your committee, he requested them to report to the Convention that he would authorize the Comptroller to suspend the collection of the laxes tS ALL CASES WHERE TUB PAYMENT THEREOF WAS INCONVENIENT TO TUE TAXPAYEBS. That this postponement shall extend to the flrst ol March, 187-'. aud that the penalty lor non-pay? ment should not be enforced In the mean? time. Now ibero is tn substantial difference be? tween tbe two reports. The committee of | live and the committee of eleven agree in sayiug that the collection of the taxes of 1871, without penalty, would be postpoued from January to .March; that is, from the time appointed by the law of 1870-71 to the time appointed by the lax-law previ? ously io force. We assume that both com? mittees understood that such taxpayers as :-.ould conveniently pay their taxes between November 20 and January 15 would be ex? pected to do so. There are not, however, a handful of persons io the State who having paid the taxes of 1870 between January 15 and March I, 1871, are able, without in? convenience, to pay the laxes for 1871, be? tween November 20, 1871, and January 15, 1872. This proviso, therefore, was known to be merely cautionary, und the people of the State prepared themselves to meet the tax-gatherer between January and March in? stead of between November and January. Whatever the tiuauciol resources of 'be people last spring, they are far less now. A short crop and martial law have seriously in? jured all classes of Uxpajere. If there was reason in May last for saying that the people could not pay the tax of 1871, between No temter, 1871, and January, 1872, there is still more reason to say so now. And Gov? ernor Scott knows this fully a3 well as we do. We think that, for a month or two, Governor Scott may have intended to keep his promise. Bu1, ti e craBh in New York prompted bim to ^e'l his _o ul ait. for green? backs. This he has done, unless the State Auditor, speaking ia Lia nam ., mossly mis? represents h'm. Nosq lirmin ; or? xplaining can save Governor Scott, if his Auditor and the Union have faithfully repeated what he told them. And if the Auditor was right, the Union is wrong. The official utterances are as different from each other as both are from the truth. We print the two statements side by side : THE AUDITOR'S STATE-THE UNION'S STATE? MENT. MENT.

EDWIN F. GARY, State Auditor. I It will be seen that the two statements do not agree. The Auditor says that the Gov? ernor promised to suspend the collection of taxes on the seaboard in the case of persons who were unable to pay between November 20 and January 15. The Union says that Governor Scott promised to extend the time to the first day of March, in the case of those who might be unable to pay within the time prescribed by law-there is nothing here about th i seaboard. But the truth is that Gorerno- Scott, without reservation, prom? ised the two committees who wailed upon him that he would postpone, until March, 1872, the collection of taxes in all cases where the earlier payment thereof would be inconvenient lo the taxpayers. This is the plain published statement-a copy of which, id the proceedings of the Taxpayers' Con- j vejUjqrj, was forwarded by Governor Scott last September to Senator Scott, of the Ku Klux committee. At that time Governor Scott assured his namesake that tho TM payers' Convention comprised among its members "the most intelligent and promi? nent men of the State." These are the gen? tlemen whom Governor Scott, through his Auditor and the Union, accuses of down? right misrepresentation. -We are loth to do injustice to any man, and we will cheerfully print any explanation in regard to this tax question which Gov? ernor Scott may be pleased to make. This, however, he must bear In mind: Only a prompt repudiation of the words put in his mouth by the Union and Auditor Gary can save him from being dubbed, wherever Eng? lish is Bpoken, a wilful perverter of the truth. fastener's Bitters.
