A Cold Shoulder to the Governor's Mes? sage-Mr. Neagle's Apology-Signs of a Division In the Camp-The Squab? bles In the House. [PROV OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, B. C., November 29. Both houses of the Legislature got to work agpin promptly at noon to-cay, and, In each, j the first crop of vetoes was received from the Governor. In the Senate, after the usual pre-1 Umloary formalities, the following letter from Comptroller-General Neagle was read, and on motion ol Senator Arnim, referred lo the com-1 mlttee on finance : EXBCCTTVB D E P AKTM ? ST, ) OFFICE or C'OMPTBOLLXK-GBNERAL, f COLUMBIA. S. a. November 28.1871.) To the Honorable the Senate ana House of Re-1 preventatives: GI?STLPMSN-I have the honor to inform yon I that Tn - tr. asurer of the State bas not sent to this office- bis monthly report for the month or Octo-1 ber, nor bis annnal report for the fiscal year end-1 lng October 81st, wi; and lam, therefore, unable to lay before the General Assembly or the State I my annnal report of the financial transactions of her public officers, as required by law. I also regret to Inform yon that the financial agent of the State has failed to matte quarterly reports to this office, a* required by the act of As-1 sembly. approved March 20th, 1809; and I deem lt bu: just to myself to state that I have notified the | said agent of the requirements of the law on this subject very frequently during the past year, but I all without receiving any response whatever. I have also given notice io his Excellency the Gov ern or of the failure of the financial agent to mate the reports due, and have asked him to lay the matter b9fore the financial board, that they might take snob action as they deemed proper. it will afford me pleasure to comply with the I *ulremeota of th- law as soon as the reports I ein referred to shall have been received. I I have the honor to be, J Very respectfully, Tour obedient servant, J. L. NBAOLB, Comptroller-General. Mr. Whitemore gave notice that he would introduce a bill for the repeal of an act entitled "An act to create a debt of the State I of South Carolina to be known aa the sterling I lunded debt, the same, or the proceeds there-1 of, to be exclusively used In exchange for, or in payment of, the existing public debt of said State." Mr. Swalls Introduced his two bills, noticed yesterday, to repeal the "Joint resolution authorizing the Governor to employ an armed force for the preservation of the peace;" and the "Joint resolution authorizing the Governor to purchase two thousand stands of arms of the most Improved patterns, with the usual complement of ammunition." j Then came three vetoes from the Governor of resolutions passed last spring. The first was a veto of the resolution authorizing a special lax in Lancaster County, and was made I the special order for Monday afternoon; the I second vetoed the resolution authorizing the republication of certain statutes of the Slate, and was set down for consideration next Tues day. and the third waa a veto of the resolution authorizing a special tax In Marlboro' County, the consideration of which was indefinitely I postponed. Mr. Owens then announced, with a few eulogistic remarks, the death of Major Joseph I A Green, senator from Orangeburg County, and offered a series of resolutions of condo lenee, which were seconded by Mr. Hay ne and carried, after which the Senate adjourned uni il Monday next, at noon. In the House the business of the day con I taiued but little ot interest, except the veto I messages and a wordy squabble daring the ?lection of Mr: Bowley's committee to look I after the appointments of clerks, ?c. The I Governor's message encountered even a more contemptuous reception in the House than in the Senate. In the latter body lt received a hurried and garbled reading to empty benches, but the reading, such as lt was, took place 1m me d iately after Its reception yesterday. In the I House, however, the secretary waa kept I waitinsr outside the door for a con-1 slderable time, and the reading, when it began, was Interrupted to make way for other business aad not resumed until to day. When taken up to-day lt waa hurried through In the most perfunctory manner, until I alMnit batf the document had been read, when theron nouncement waa made that the Senate had agreed to a motion for adjournment until Monday. 3d proximo. A lively scene ensued, and for several minutes lt waa Impossible to discover to whom the "floor" rightfully be-1 lenged. Tho first amendment to strike out Monday sid Insert Saturday was lost. The second amendment to substitute Friday for Saturday at twelve M. was carried-ayes J sixty-four, noes thirty-two, and it was deemed to refer tne motion back to the Senate as cor-1 notai. Then came a brace of vetoes from the Gov? ernor; the first one being a veto of "An act to charter the Northwestern Railroad Com-1 pany," in the State of South Carolina, tor the reason'that "by an act passed at the last session ol the Legislature, entitled 'An act to promote the consolidation of the Green ville and Columbia Railroad Company and tne Blue Ridge Railroad Company,' the material portions of thia act were Incorporated, and it I ls, therefore, unnecessary to re-enact them." On motion of the Hon. Tim Hurley, this sub? ject was set down tor consideration next Mon? day afternoon. The other veto applied to "An act to provide for teachers' Institutes," J and was put opon the ground of economy. This waa referred to the committee on educa? tion, and the consideration of the annual mes sage was ordered lo committee of the whole next Tuesday afternoon. The unfinished bu si-1 ness of the prev.ous day was next taken up, and-after a tedious and vapid quarrel over the election ol members to aerve on Bowley's com? mittee on suborcinate officers, Ac, In which two hours were consumed in electing nine members out of the thirty-one, the welcome hour of three arrived, and the House was com? pelled to adlourn. PICKET. THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO. NKW ORLEANS, November 30. Intelligence from Mutamoraa says that Gene? ral Levtno telegraphs from Monterey that be &&8 captured the greater part ot the City of .altillo in the late battles. He ls pressing the srege vigorously. Sixteen hundred govern? ment troops were hemmed lnt-id*. and the water supply was cut off. The capitulation of Saltillo ia hourly expected by the Insurgent sympathizers here. THE COUNTY SCHOO EEAUDS. Another Letter from Commissioner Grim kp. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Youc issue ot this morning contains a.reply from ex-School Commissioner Emery to the charges made in my annual report of irregu laiiLles in thc office which he vacated last January. Mr. Emery is very much mistaken If he sup? poses that my statements are actuated by any personal Hl-wlll towards himself. My issue is with thc ex-school commissioner of this coun? ty, and I beg leave to say at the outset that, if that official will establish the truth of bis assertions before any three unprejudiced citi? zens of this community, who shall be selected In the way tbat arblirators are usually chosen, I will be among the first to acknowledge his innocence. That my attack is neither wanton nor unjust, I hope to be able to prove even to Mr. Emery's satisfaction. I bad been bat a short lime In offlce before I learned, from personal Inter? views with many of the teachers who bad been In Mr. Emery's employ, that he was in the habit of offering to purchase their claims, and at rates ot discounts which appeared to me most exorbitant. I have seen a good many of the teachers lrom different parts of the county, and from but one ot them have I received a negative reply to the question, "Did Mr. Emery offer to purchase your claim ?" It was not loDg bet?re I learned that the school houses, referred to in my report had never been built, although the cluim for their erection had been approved by Mr. Emery. I also learned ihat the man in whoso name (he bill had been rendered denied ihai he had any such claim against the c?unry, and further sta'ed that he had never seen the order drawn in his favor. Could I, under these oJxcumslanees, remain silent ? Here was Mr. Emery's approval In writ ii g ot a c aim for $1650 In favor ol' a man whose written declaration I hold that he never had any such c airn against the county, and had never seen the pay cert Ideate drawn in his favor, and. to crown ali, here was a let? ter from the clerk of the board of trustees of | the dist) let in which the houses were said io have been built, stating that they were not to be found. Now, I ask Mr. Emery, what cou'?e would bc have pursued under these circumstances ? Would he not have telt In duty bound to call the attention ot his superior officers? to this most disgraceful condition of affairs? Mr. Emery, be lt remem? bered, was the sworn officer of the State, paid by the state a salary for superintending all school matters ia the county, and the law ex? pressly makes every act of his subordinates, the school trustees, subject to his supervision, and makes him responsible for the same, by requiring his written endorsement of approval upon every claim, before the county treasurer ' ls authorized to pay it. If Mr. Emery has endorsed this claim with the belief that lt is a Just one, I call upon him now to join me in an effort to place trie charge? of guilt where it properly belongs. ID regard to the discrepancy between the amounts which teachers claim to have re? ceived and the pay certificates drawn in their ?avor, I bave only to say that had Mr. Emery left those books, to which he alludes, in the school commissioners office, where they be? longed, when be vacated it, instead of remov? ing them, as he did, it might have saved us both a great deal of trouble, as they doubtless would have explained many matters which have puzzled me. However, it is not too late now, and I hope, for ali own sake, that he will Insist upon an examination ol these books by some unprejudiced parties, with the view of | setting him right before the community. E. MONTAGUE GP.IMKE, School Commissioner Charleston County. Charleston, November 30,1871. THE GREAT PRIZE EIGHT. The Mace-Cobarn Hill, near New Or? leans, for the Championship of the World-Condition of the Men-Odd* # Two to One tn Favor of Mace. The New Orleans Times, of November 24th, speaking of the arrival oT the bruiser, Jem Mace, in that city, says : This distinguished exponent of the "manly art" reached town on Wednesday night, and having taken up his gu.triers at Hitlborn's, No. 17 St. Charles street, bas been successfully in? terviewed by a host of the curiously Inclined, for whom a sight ac a prize-ring champion Kaseases a fascination which even many very convenient neuk-stretchtngs fail to destroy. Jem has been t. ining in Cincinnati, under the mentoredp o Jim Cuslck an1 Pooley Mace, who arrived with him, and, contrary to exten? sively circulated reports, his regimen has brought him Into-fine condition-in fact, he de? clares that he never felt in better trim in his life. An Interview with Mr. Mace failed to elicit much, except that he ls quite reticent in expression -of an opinion touching both his antagonist and the coming fight, and Is withal decidedly a non-committal person. The bur? den of bis sentiments seems to polst to but .one thing, and that is his .'.?termination to bring the coming contest to a fistic issue, if there be any such thing possible. He stigma? tizes as "absurd" the theory that there will be no fight, and says: "Do you think I would come ail the way down here if I wa?n't as de terinlned to fignt as I am to live ? Why," said he, "so anxious and decided am I that, rath er (han there should be no fight, I will agree to meet Coburn alone, and have lt out in a six by nine room, or anywhere else." The betting ranges at the odds cf about two to (me? in favor of Mace both here and in New \~4?\\ se ve t LI! bets having been made last night al one hundred to sixty and fifty. Jem len.,the city yesterday, for a convenient point on the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Railroad, be? tween this city and Donaldson ville, where he will put the finishing touches on his "form di? vine." Te the question, "Do yon propose to \ give an exhibition before the match,", he re? plied, "No, slr, I came down here to fight, not to give exhibitions." Although public confi? dence ls very "shaky" concerning a hellet In a fair prize fight, there can be no doubt that in this instance the affair will not only come off. built will be declleu on its merits, and lt promises to be one of the toughest contests ever known to the ring. The stakeholder ex? presses himself to the effect that ll either man attempts to shirk the responsibility of a fair meeting, he will hand over his portion of the battle money to some charitable associa? tion. Coburn ls getting on finely, his condilion being reported as superb, and although both men will be equally matched In size and weight, (each expecting to fight at one hun? dred and sixty-five) Coburn will have the advantage of youth, his. age beiog thirty-six, while Mace kicks the beam ot time at forty one. There will probably be a larger gathering at the ring on the morning ol the 30th than has ever been seenunoi a similar occasion, iheie being already li<-2s*k e city large delegations from New Yo. If and other cities, a noticeable feature of which, however, ls the absence of the rough, thieving element usual at such events. Their failure ' to put in an appearance will be a source of con? gratulation, although it is said that a certain amount of respect for the peculiar ideas ol Judge Lynch ls answerable for the very excel? lent course adopted by these outlaws ol so? ciety. Press reporters lrom all the first-class Journals of the country are gathered here like some vast host, all eager for the fray, wbtch will afford the exqu'site pleasure ol flashing to their millions ot readers the Intelligence "that Joe got home on ihe horn of Jem, and that Jem hit Joe a dig in the ribs that made him sick." The Result of the Fignt. FIGHTING GROUND, I MISSISSIPPI, November 30. ) The prize fight to-day between Mace and Co? burn resulted In a draw. All bets are off. There were eleven rounds, lasting four hours and ten minutes. Mace said that Coburn was the best man he ever met in the ring. The first blood was in favor of Mace. There was no clean knock down. Each of the combat ants was apparently afraid of the other. RESULT OE *HE DERBY DR A WING. AUGUSTA, Novembrr 30.

The Fallacies of Repudiation and the NonrPayment of Taxes-A New Rem? edy-The Reasons and the Heans. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Tue papers are filled, lrom day to day, with the details of the frauds committed la tbe management of the finances of the State, and with suggestions as to what course the people, the taxpayers, ought to pursue in order to arrest the swindlers and thieves in their mad careen But while there, is little doubt that j there has been a fraudulent issue of bonds, as some of the executive officers at the seat of | government themselves admit, yet I confess I have seen no suggestion, or remedy, among j the many now teeming forth daily in the papers, which, in my judgment, ls at all ade? quate or competent to have the desired effect In remedying the evil. THB NEWS and the Courier, and many other papers, propose the non-payment of taxes, and then the repudia? tion of all fraudulently Issued bonds. The idea of not paying ihe laxes la entirely Impracticable; tor to be worth anything as a matter ot general relief, th*>rc must be con cm of action among the taxpayers, and none must pay. This concert of action cannot be obtained. It Is even now loo late, for many are paying up evey day. Even If the . i ay ment of taxes could be stopped by such vol? untary concert of action among (he citizens, it could not extend beyond the 15th of Febru? ary next, for then the county treasurer would collect by levy and sale, and who cbuld hel" himself? Does the reader believe there will oe no one at the sales to buy ? If so, he is mistaken. The tax collector has the light to distrain personal property first before taking the land, and this kind bf property will al? ways be in demand, even Ita does not bring much. It Is gone, however, lrom the owner, and his taxes, wlih cos'ls and penalties, sra paid without bis consent. As lo the land, one ; reason why there have been HO few purchasers | of land at county treasurer's sales is that that officer is required by law to sell enough of I the land from the northwest corner ot the 1 tract to pay the taxes, and lt not untrequently happens that, where a party suflVrs his lands sold for taxes, this northwest corner ls made up of swamps, ponds or something of that st-rt which reader lt entirely unfit for any uss, and hence the owner is glad lor th? State to take lt off his h inds. But this would not be the case if sales for non-payment of taxes were to become general; bf sid s, in the case ot city or village properly, the whole lot, with buildings thereon, would be forfeited to the State lr offered lor sale and no bids were re ceived. Repudiation, in any shape or form, ls a me is ure we, who are out of power, need not now discuss. It is a waste of lime. We can effect nothing upon the subject. This Is for ihe party in power to do, and while there ls no doubt that there is a feeling among the negroes in the Legislature in favor of r?pudia? tion, yet lhere is no doubt but the white members, and other executive officers, will have sufficient influence now, as In the past, to keep them In subjection and Under control In this connection the Courier says: "Re? ject the iraud by refusing to pay one single dollar ot principal or Interest of these illegal issues." The phraseology of this proposition is certainly very singular, if lt be addressed, as I suppose lt is intended to be, to the tax payers of the State, for ft would imply that the taxpayer, when be pays his taxes, may desig nate, or direct, what is to be done with bis money by the government-that ls to say, that he may pay one public debt and reject another. The language used would be very suitably ad? dressed to the Legislature, with whom ls lodged the power of distributing and appro printing the money raised by taxation; but as the Legislature would probably be deaf to any such advice, It-i? useless to speak lo that body, and hence the proposition ot the Courier is worthies-, so far as any practicable good can come of it. Another proposition, equally and even more absurd than those before referred to, ls to en? join the Legislature from issuing any more bonds. This proposition, I believe, was origin? ated by the Columbia Phoenix, but I see that the Courier and other papers adopt the idea. They were certainly led astray by the perfect? ness of the remedy, so far as the future ls con cerned, without ever thinking of its imprac? ticability. I agree with the views you express on I his point In your Issue of to-day, and will not use up more space upon the subject, but pass on lo the remedy I propose. What is that remedy ? My proposition ls to pay no more taxes, but to do so only In accordance with law. DJ SO only by auihorlty, and . thea no penalties nor costs, no sales ot property will result. My proposition ls to appeal to the court, if an honest judge can be found to appeal to, for the writ of prohibition to re strain the State auditor and county commis? sioners from eel le ct i M g the laxes now growing due, on the ground that they are unconstitu? tional. In making this application to the court, ihese are the prominent provisions of the constitution which snould be referred to: Article I, section 36 Bays : "All property sub? ject to taxation shall be taxed in proportion to Us value." Anide. II, section 33: "All taxes upon property, real and personal, shall be laid upon the actual value.of tbe property taxed, as the same shall be ascertained by an assess? ment made for the purpose of laying said tax." Aniel* IX, section 1, provides that "The General Assemuly shall provide by law for a uniform and equal rate of taxation, and shall prescribe such regulations as snail secure a. just valuation for taxation of nil property," &c. . Now, are the present taxes uniform and pqual? Has the General Assembly provided a regulation that s -cures a just valu dion of all property? I know two men who live near each uther, with lands adjoining, whose property ls the same in quantity and character, and whoso taxes differ as do the numbers twenty-five and seventy-five. Is it a "Just valuation" to have land which would not bring twenty-five cents per acre either at public or private sale, as? sessed for taxation at four dollars per acre ? Tel this is the sort of "regulation" . the "General Assembly^has "prescribed." But th?se irregularities, which no doubt ex? ist nil over the state, may be too local and too pariant in ihe different counties to help us much when the system of taxation ls to be attacked us a whole. * The clause of thc con? stitution, therefore, upon which I would mamly rely, under the present emergencies, ls Beetloo 4, article 9, which is in these words: "Ao tax shall be levied except in pursuance of a law which shall distinctly state the object of the same, to which object such tax 5-hall be applied." With an honest.judgc upon the bench, I his providion of th? constitution is sufficient for our present purposes. It Is emphatically pro? vided that "no tax shad be levied excepi In pursuance of a law which shall distinctly state Ihe object ot the same." If there be any law which states the object of the levy now being collected lt Is more than I have been able to And. The Legislature, at the last session, h-iving conclu ?ed to ch inge the time ot col? lecting taxes from March io November, simply pawed a re-olutlon authorizing the State au? ditor to levy and cau-e to be collected a lax nol exceeding seven (7) mills un a dollar on all taxable properly in ihe Slate, and the county commissioners of the several counties a tax not exceed ng three (3) mills on the dol? lar. It ls true it is slated in the resolution that the tax ls lo "meet appropriations for the fiscal year .1871;" but this ls not stating any object of the tax even ob? scurely, lor tue Legislature may appropriate tlie people's money to the building of railroads In New York, or any other Illegal purpose, while the constitution very plainly requires the passage of a law; at least cotemporaneous ly with the act authorizing the levy, which ah&U distinctly state tte object of thetox. The purpose ol this Is to advise the taxpayer, be? fore he payB hts taxes, for what purpose the levy Is mad>\ so that if it be Illegal, he may take such steps as the law will allow to pre? vent the authorities from forcing bim to pay. But whit Information is lhere to the taxpayer in the words' 1 to meet appropriations for the fiscal year 1871?" How can it be foretold what these appropriations are going to be? May not these fraudulent bond* be paid as well as any other debt the Legislature may see flt to pay ? What remedy has the taxpayer ? The answer Is, none, after he pays in his money to the tax-gatherer. His only remedy is to be Bought bet?re he pays his taxes; and in the present instance, the ground upon which the remedy of prohibition is to be ask? ed for Is, that there ls a levy, and that levy ls being collected, and no law has been passed stating or declaring any object or necessity for the money to be raised. Will lt do to say, by way of avoiding this provision of the constitution, that the Legislature, at the ensuing session, will enact a law declaring the object of the tax ? I answer, nay; for it will be observed that the constitution ls very precise and unequivocal In its requirements, viz : No tax shall be lev? ied except in pursuance of a law which shall distinctly state the object. The phrase 'in pursuance" is important and decisive. To do one act in pursuance of another act neces? sarily requires the latter to precede the for? mer in point of time. The law, slating the object of the tax, ought, there lore, to have been passed first (lt might have been at the same session,) ana then; the levy wonld have been in pursuance of it. Aa matters now stand, the law declaring the object of the tax will have to be In pursuance of that making the levy, which ls a complete revereal of the plain provision of the consumion. The good effects which would probably re? sult to the people from a successful application to the courts, under this provision of the con? stitution, would be : 1st. A complete cessation of the collection of taxes until the Legislature shall have enact? ed the proper law, stating the object and ne? cessity of the tax, which would probably ex? tend even beyond the former period for col? lecting taxes. 2d. Time and opportunity would be afforded to examine, by committees of conventions, or otherwise, into the matter of the alleged over issue of bonds; and the heads of departments themselves, from a want of funds, might be forced to make a truthful exhibit of the pre? sent condition ol the debt of the State, In order to prevent farther opposition from the taxpayers. 3d. The necessary proofs may be obtained on which warrants of arrest could be sued out for the prosecution and punishment of the guilty parties who have, by their peculations, brouuht the State almost to ruin. 1th. The credit of the State would not be Jeopardized, as lt now is, by the cry of repudi? ation. These, it strikes me, are some of the good* effects which would result to the people If this application to the court could be successful. But would such an application be successful ? says tbe reader. Is there a judge in the State who is honest onougb and independent enough to de.cido the present levy of taxes uncon? stitutional ? This, I confess, is the only doubt I have about the question. I can only say there ought to be. At any rate, let the ques? tion be made, and, In order that the result might be general for tbe whole State, let the application be made to tbe Supreme Court, and let no one prejudge what the decision will be. Let the ablest counsel In the State be employed, and let the necessary funds lo pay them be raised by subscription through a com? mittee, who could divide the amonnt among the counties, according to the wealth of the inhabitants. S. A. M. Klngstree, S. C., November 24,1871. VIE ft'8 OF LIEUTENANT- Q O VERNOR BAN8IER. What He has to Say About the Ka.Kl ax and Rep udl at lon. The following ls the full text of the address of Lieutenant-Governor Banaler, delivered at the opening session of the State Senateon Tuesday: Gentlemen-You have again met, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution ot the Stale, after an Interval of eight or nine months, to assist, as a part of one of the co-or? dinate branches of the Slate Government, In devising ways and means necessary to meet the wants ot the State and people. To the more Important matters deemed nec? essary to be attended to by you lt ls to be pre? sumed that his Excellency will invite your at? tention. It is not my province to do so. It would be in exceeding bad taste, there? fore, lor me to go Into details as to matters that demand your most earner, attention. I may be permitted, however, without doing violence to propriety, to say that we meet under peculiar circumstances, m the mldsOofen extraordinary state ot affairs-no less grievous than extraordinary. - In several counties ot the State the life ot the citizen ls Imperilled, and such a condition of things existing as to have provoked a resort by the Government of the United States to that extraordinary power vested in the President-the suspension of the writ ot habeas corpus-In order that those guilty of the outrages charged upon them may be apprehended, tried and punished. There must, Indeed, be a ead condition ol affairs when lt Is deemed necessary to resort lo such a remedy, which has occurred but seldom In the history of our country in times of peace. It may be possible for you, gentlemen, to say how long tbls cona.?ion of affairs shall last, and whether or not we can make a govern? ment strong enough to protect the humblest citizen id the untrammelled and lawful exer? cise of his rights and immunities, and afford protection to his life and property. Again, charges of the most serious naturein relation to our financial management are al? leged and believed. They are heralded throughout thc country, in consequence of which our credit has been most seriously affected. Whether these charges are true or not. I am not prepared to say, for the reason that I do not know. We know, however, that public confidence in those who manage the nuances of the Stile ls shaken, and that our bonds are begging for purchase!s in the mar? kets of the worla, and that the price they bring tc-day ls a sad commentary upon that manage mont, and a most severe reflection upon those who are entrusted with lt. Those who are charged owe it to themse ves, if these charges have no foundation In truth, io estab? lish their innocence. You, gentlemen, owe lt to yourselves, to the people of South Carolina, and to the couutry, who demand of you a thorough silting of the matter, and whose eyes are upon you, to Institute the most rigid in? quiry, that thc truth may be gotten at, and mose, if any, who are guilty of peculation and fraud, may be assigned their proper places, (he finances of the ?tate put In proper hands, Eublic confidence in our faith and credit therc y re-established, and the honor and good nume of South Carolina preserved. I do not assume that the parties charged are guilty. For be lt from me. Nor do I as? sume tbat the statements contained In the newspapers, as to the extent of thia peculation and traud, ure (rue. I refer, however, to ihe (act that serious cnarges in Ibis matter are marie against this mauagem?.nt In question; that puollc confidence ls nearly destroyed, and our securities, or obliga1 ions, are almost worthless la financial circles everywhere; and that lt ls your duty to act In the interest of our creditors, and in the interest ot the Slate and the people of South Carolina, In this most Im? portant matter. South Carolina, whatever has been her er? rors in the past, or her sins, has always and ever dealt honestly with her creditors, and, to Ihe extent of her ability, met her honest obli? gations. See lo it, gentlemen, that, In our hand*, she and her creditors suffer no detri? ment If any of her obi.?a ions ard to be re? pudiated, lt is oxtremely difficult, I submit, to draw a dividing line, to discriminate, as to these obligations, which of them should or should not be repudiated, at least, until WA shall know more about this entire matter than we? seem to know just now; and I utter this warning to a certain c'ass of persons who seem to favor ia rather hot haste the repudia? tion of all debts contracted or bonds Issued since the reconstruction of the State and her res'oratlon to the Union. Bc careful, genile men, else you open the door and p dut out the way to the virtual repudiation of thc old os well us the new-the entire debt ol' the Slate, and thus, Samson-like, destroy your? selves beneath the ruins wrought by your own hands. I have hopes that you will do your duty rn this matter, gentlemen of the Senate; that you will see lo it lhat our school-houses are opened, our teachers paid, and lhat an improved con? dition of (raining In lilla respect be brought about.

A MODERS BORGIA. . THE NEW ES GLAND POISONER. The Supposed Perpetrator of Fonr Cold Blooded Mu rd tn-Her Approaching Trial. One of the most remarkable cases ever put on a criminal docket is about to be tried in New Haven. The accused, a woman, ls charged in the Indictment with the guilt or four cold-blooded and unnatural murders, while by popular opinion she is guilty of thpse and seven more. All of her victims-at least, all of these eleven-were connected to her by the closest domestic lies, as the list Is made up of three husbands, six own children, and '"wo step-children. The history ot* the case ls briefly as follows : In May last Horatio N. Sherman, a factory band at Birmingham, Connecticut, died sud? denly, with all the symptoms ot arsenical poison. Suspicion naturally rested on his wife, who was known to have recently quarrelled with him. The woman, however, bore at tbe time a good character, having been for many years a member of the Presbyterian Church, in good and regular standing. She was forty seven years ot age, and might be supposed to have enjoyed whatever benefit there ls lo lana? lly affliction as before she became Mrs. Sher? man she had lost two husbands and six chil? dren. In 1846 the woman, whose malden name was Lydia Danbury, married her first husband, a widower of the name of Struck, and bore him seven children. After eighteen years ol married life-Struck died, after a short illness. In 1864 In the two (following years six ol the seven children, all who lived with her In New Jersey, also died, and were burled In Trinity Cemetery. After the death of her children the widow Struck moved to Strat? ford, where she became acquainted with and married an elderly gentleman, H uri burt by name. ?After a union ot fourteen months Mr. Hurlburt died suddenly, leaving her his enttre property, amounting to $10,000. This was in 1868. Ia the fall of 1870 she once more pro? mised lo love, honor and obey a husband, this time a Mr. Sherman, for whose murder she ls now on trial. Sherman, like the former two, was a widower, and had four cb'ldren. In less than six months after this marriage, Frank Sherman, the youngest of the family, died, after a day or two's sickness, with vio? lent cramps and vomiting. In less than two months, on New Year's eve, a second child, Ada, Alleen years old, beautiful, and a village lavorlte.died In similar paroxysms. None ap? peared moje deeply affected than the mother, who had devoted herself to the sufferers like a real parent Suspicion was not even then arous? ed, but when, three months later, the husband expired with exactly similar symptoms, and those the symptoms of death by poison, the coincidence became so startling as to compel attention and investigation. A post-mortem examination was held and the stomach sent to Professor Barker, of the Yale Medical Faculty, for chemical analysis. He reported the pres? ence of arsenic In large quantities. The graves o? the two children were then secretly opened, and the same deadly drug found in their bodies also. This waa damning proof enough, but the physicians wished to be doubly assured, and so had the long covered grave of Hurlburt also opened and his remains examined. The result was the same. There seemed now bat one possible conclusion, and the step-mother was arrested. The indictment has to do with only these four murders, but the probabilities now point to her as the murderess of her first family as well, and If acquitted on the present charge she will undoubtedly be held to answer for the Struck mortality. Alter the prelimi? nary examination in July she was taken to the county Jail In New Haven, where she remains awaiting her trial. Here she has been visited by a large number of persons, and among others by a correspondent who had an Inter? view with her. During this interview he saya she seemed perfectly at ease, was fashionably and neatly dressed, carried an elegant gold watch at .her waist, and in appearance and conversation Impressed me as a lady of culture and refine? ment. After passing the ordinary tTrerrrtrlnan commonplaces of conversation, I remarked that she must find her present lite very monot? onous and wearing, and asked If she was well treated. "Oh, yes," she replied, "I have every liberty given to any of the prisoners." "I suppose you would like aa early a trial aa aa possible'" I continued. ..Yes, I should like lt to take place as soon as convenient." "I should think that the weight of so terri? ble an accusation would wear upon you?" "It would, Indeed, air, were I not conscious of my own Innocence." "But you must admit that the appearances are at present against you." "Perhaps so; but (smiling) one muan't Judge by appearances, you know." "I suppose one of the strong points In the defence ls the absence of any apparent cause for the alleged crimes?" "lhat will be one argument, no doubt. I don't Bee why I should have taken any of their lives. I am sure no one can say but what I was an affectionate wife and mother." TUE PROBABLE LISE OF DEFENCE. This will undoubtedly be a plea of Insanity. It Is stated that Mr. Wai rous, her counsel, In? tends to admit the facts and the Inevitable conclusions therefrom, perhaps going BO far as to instruct his client to plead "guilty" at once, aud then proceed lo prove ber Insanity. RITUALISM IS NEW YORK. The Rev. Dr. Ewer and Ills Idea? About "Sln-Slck Confessions." Dr. Ewer, of Christ Church, Fifth avenue, New York, recently tendered the resignation ot bis pastorate on account of opinions in favor ot Ritualism. The resignation was at once ac? cepted by the vestry ol Christ Church, and Dr. E wer has established a church of his own. He gave to a correspondent ol' the World, who in? terviewed him, the following sketch of the position: In resigning the charge ot Christ Church no pressure was brought to bear upon me by the congregation; the act was entirely a'vol? untary one on my part, and I took this step wishing best for all parties. I am not what can be called an advanced ritualist, though I disown the name of Protestant as generally understood by the mass of the people. I glory In calling myself Catholic, but not Romanist, for I am os much opposed to the errors of Rome as to the errors of the Low Church part}*. I teach the doctrines of the prayer book and the church, and have always done so, and 1 deny any man's right to question me aa to my views, as I am alone responsible to the bishop for my conduct, and I am happy to say I am in entire harmony with him In the matter. I do not deny I practiced and encouraged the usc of confession, because I recognize it ss one ot the doctrines of the church, but I do not use lt in the sense the Church of Borne does; mine is what I call a sin-sick confession, the desire felt by a penitent soul to unfold his sorrows to his proper earthly consoler, his pastor. I thought it best to leave Christ Church, as I said before, but I have no harsh leellug8 against the men I have lett behind who do not agree with my views. I intend to run my church on moderate, ritualistic princi? ples, and have no Intention to abandon the fold of the regular Episcopal Church, but I feel as if I had a greater latitude and a larger amount of freedom in this little building than I could possibly have in Christ Church. LITTLE JOKES ABOUT TUTS RUSSIAN PRIN'CE. The gravest papen are not above a'tempting little Jokes ap' opos of th* arrival of the R is sian Prince, among which are the following: It Is a mis ake io suppose that Alexis lives on Czar dlues Apprehensions with regard to the safety of the Grand Duke are dissipated; but Ai-xis isn't. It i? said Horace Greeley was no: put on the commlitee of reception, for fear he would advise Alexis to "go Went." Many of'he recently arrived Russian officers were mistaken for natives of the Emerald Isle, because they came in Bog it ire (bog attire.) Alexis is by no means a "<<iarched-iip" young man; If ne were, the weather y- sierday would have completely, taken the stiffening out of him. "Going to see the young Russian land?" said Jones inls morning to smlih. "No," re? torted the latter, wlih a wink. 'Tm going to see the young Roman-off! "J THE GRAND DXTICE AT A BALL. How He Treat? His Partner. If any one ls curious to learn the etiquette observed by trie Russian I rim e in a ball-room, be can be gratified by the following report ol j a Jenkins at the Governor's -Island entertain- j ment on Saturday: The ball was opened by General McDowell and the Grand Duke, Miss Neille Murphy being the first partner selected for the Prince. Thu band struck up a lively galop, and the General, with his partier, started off in good time. The Prince essayed .a start, but had scarcely turned around before his feet slipped and threw him out of time, so very smooth and olly was the floor. He quickly recovered himself, and then with some caution he proceeded in good style. On returning his partner to her friends she complimented the Prince on being a good gentleman to dance with. The Grand Duke, - as he appeared on the-ball-room floor after divesting himself of bat and long cloak, re? vesting his princely bead and dark, gold studded uniform, was entirely becoming to his high rank. Had any stranger stepped into the place, and been asked to point out I the most distinguished looking man on the floor, he would certainly have selected the Grand Duke. His was the ta1 lest figure there, and bis perfect self-possession gave him a graceful bearing, and there seemed to be har? mony in every gesture. From ali that has been seen of the Grand Duke Alexis, it ls evi? dent that he Is not a "lady's man." while acting as escort be ls always polite and occa? sionally gay. But he never flirts. As soon as the ceremony of dancing is over-for it is lit? tle more than a ceremony for bim-he re? lieves bis partner of his company and goes his way, leaving her to go here. IT he can steal away he will walk off alone, get In a back room, roll a cigarette and smoke ir, TBOE WEATHER THIS DAT. WASHINGTON-, November 30. .
