COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuwday Morning, March 10,1870. Political Steadiness. In Borne excellent remarks recently made by Count Daru, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the French Corp? Iiegislaiif, be said: "The political stage is not one on which startling effects can be continu? ally produced with any advantage to the It has occured to ns that oar editorial fraternity might well bear this suggestion in mind. Some editors seem to think that they are nothing if not sensational. Consequently, we have all kinds of crude views and ill-digested theories constantly brought forward. Every day almost bringa forth some new political conceit whieh after all is simply for effect-a veritable coup de thecdre. This, now, may be very amusing to some readers. But so far as tending to genuine political reform, or to the right informing of the pnblio mind, or to the formation of a sound, publio sentiment, this style of thought and writing to which we are alluding, is very wide of the mark. As for ourselves we have no new or royal mode of carrying political reforms, or of winning political successes. Nor have we "a fresh idea every day." Our im? pression is, that political points are to be carried in the same way that they have always been carried in this country, viz: By thorough organization, by un? wearied activity, by Bteady persistency, by earnest advocacy, by vigorous effort, by well-arranged and sagacions pro? grammes. No INOOMHTAX LAWS.-The Baltimore Sun says: The fact that the income tax is now being collected for 1869 has led to a misapprehension among the public generally on the subject. Instead of sending petitions to Congress for its re? peal, the form given to popnlar ex? pression on the subject should be re? spectful protests against the ro-en act men t of the law, either at the present or a re? duced rate, as it is a fact that the income tax law stood repealed on the 31st ol January, 1869, by limitation. After iU assessment for 1869 is paid, no other in? come tax can be collected or assessed without the enactment of an entirely new law. A bill passed the House undci the previous gag rule some days ago, providing for tho assessment and col leotion of an income tax for one yeal (1870), but it met with disastrous fief ea' in the Senate. There is reason to hope therefore, that Congress will not put sucl a needless burden upon the people agaii in face of the unanimous protest of th< entire press of the country. The occa sion that called for it has entirely posset away. Therefore, let us have no mon income tax laws. The Missionary Record, edited by i negro mau, and thus entitled to spcal fur his peoplu, takes the grouud that tin negroes of Mr. Whittemore's Distric will not disgrace themselves by returning him to Congress. Well may tho martyret preacher say, "Cull you this backing you friends?" -?-??-?. A. PLUCKY WOMAN.-A St. Paul pape says: "A loue woman passed through tin city yesterday, with an ox-team convey auce, on her way to a homestead, seven tceu miles above Alexandria, Dougla County, some 200 miles from this city Sho hod previously gone up and pre empted a farm under the homestead law and built a house, aud went back to nea Red Wing for her aged mother. Sin found her mother sick, and, after wait iug several weeks for her recovery, it be ing necessary for her to return to look t< her homestead, she started alone, witl her houbohold goods on a slod, haulct by an ox-team, a cow being tied along side. The woman, who is a Swede, di< not appear to be at all appalled by th prospect of her mauy days' journey t< nc lonely home." Ku KLUX IN AIIAMANCE, N. C.-Alu manee, the County Holden has declare* under martial, it seems, has its Eu Kin: organization. Tho Greensboro Patric ?aye: "A party of them a fow nights og< went to a house in which there was ; white man and negro woman livinj together, und taking them out of bcd dug a bole and buried them up to tin waist, face to face, and loft them ther in that condition. Tho United States Goverumeut make uso of foreign paper entirely in printin, its legal tender notes thus utterly disr<? garding the interests of homo manu fae tures so far as its own patronage is con corned, while it compels the individuo citizen? of the country to pay tributo t those manufacturers, by means of a prc tcctivo tariff, which substantially pro bibil- trade with foreign manufacturen Thu Vow York Evening Post,' edito by the venerable William Ccllon Bryanl .->ays John A. Logan is "a soldier au an honorable man." Tho Post wa established sixty-niuo years ago, and ye this is tho first joke that has ever ar. pcarcd in its editorial columns. f Courier'Journal, RESUMED.-It will bo seen that on bank in the United States has resume specie payments-the Mechanics', of SI Loni*, Missouri It hus a circulation c $50,000, and uo doubt tho bill holdei will bo content to retain them, as the uro known to be convertible. Corre?J>M>?M?? ?Be of th? Ph OB nix. MRBEOIAW, Mrss,, March 9, 1870. MB. EDITOR: The first town tho trav? eler meets, after crossing from Alabama into Mississippi by rail, from Selma, is the thrifty little city of Meridian, no memorable in many respects during the war. Here the Mobile and Ohio Rail? road orossos f'o Selma and Vicksburg road, while the Meridian and Chatta? nooga road rans North-east from Me? ridian, and another South-western road is projected to New Orleans. This is the Atlanta of the South-west. The popu? lation oannot be more than a couple of thousand, and an hour's stroll takes one all round and about the town; but the bustle and business of thc town is truly wonderful. The chief business street runs parallel to tho Vicksburg Railroad, and distant from it just the width of a square, uni? versally here called a block. This spaoe, that some day is to.be a block or series of blocks of buildings, is now ocoupied by eight brick machines, each turning out 5,000 bricks daily. Some beautiful brick buildings.have already been erected elsewhere in town, from bricks made hero. The excavations of these brick? yards will soon be the cellars of fine ranges of buildings. This is internal improvements indeed. Rambling through those brick-yards this morning, I was attracted to a small duster of men on the street, in the midst of whom was a man haranguing most vociferously, extolling his patent soap. Farther on was another crowd, where another patentee was whirling tho bal? ance-wheel of a huge washing machine in which were submerged a dozen dirty shirts, which he had bet he could wash beautifully in five minutes; and he did it too. Across the street, and a little higher up town, was a third advocate of patents pushing a wheeled plow in the gutter, near tho side-walk, and proving practically, that by his plow an amount of garden work could be easily done in ono day, that the same hand could not do with a hoe or spado in a week. Presently music was heard, and, turn? ing the corner, I saw fonr men standing on some dry goods boxes; threo of them would play tnd sing cornie Bongs, such as "Shoo Fly," Georgia Beans," "The Little Gal in Blue," &o., and occasional? ly, between the tunes, a sharp-witted little fellow, who said he lived anywhere Wost of Nashville and East of Memphis, would amuse tho crowd by narrating tho wonderful cures effected all over the world by his "electric oil." Similar ex? hibitions aro said to be of common oc? currence, and are one of the many evi? dences of the lifo of the place. To-day the town is filled with ox-wag? gons, drawn by one, two, three, or even four yoko of oxen. Each driver has n whip, with a staff about seven feet long, aud a thong three feet longer, and as they move about with constant popping nnd mournful commands to tho patient team, they create a dismal impression, only relieved by the constant clanging ol the triangle nnd the noise of the hammer. Here, there and everywhere new houses are going up, and in a mujoritj of instances on leased lots. These lott aro owned by an old settler, as mos! vacant village lots are, who refuses tc sell, but leases to any and everybody OE the following torms: The lot is valued, and eight per cent, on that amount is annually paid by tho lessee as rent; he erects his building, and pays this same anuna! rent for ten years from dato ol lease. At the end of ten years the land is to be revalued as though it were then as now-a vocant lot. Another eighl per cent is levied, and tho samo con tinucs ten years longer. This continued releasing every decado is to be repeated for ninety-niuo years, when tho lease ends, unless proviously rendered null bj a failure to settle upon the price of tin rc-asseased lot at tho expiration of anj decade. In this event, if neither thc parties concerned, nor arbitrators cat I adjust the assessment, the lot with all thc improvements reverts to tho owner. Il this does not become the source of life long litigation in the future, it will bc wonderful. Tho country around Meridian is flat, poor and uninviting; but like Atlante and Opelika, tho town is growing moBl rapidly, and daily heavy investments an being made here. In all thoroughfare: liko this, where the population is mud of it floating, and none of it stable enough to produce classes of society oi oircles of association, tho morals of thc community aro generuliy bad, and wick cducss usually reigns supreme. But not so ut Meridian. There are in tho place five Protestant nod one Catholic Church and I was told, that neariy ali the younf. men were members of one or tho othei of these churches. Schools, too, arc numerous, and tho health of tho towu il said to bo good. This littlo towu supports, or ratho] publishes, four papers-tho duilios Ga zetlc, Mercury and Flag, and a small agri eultural mouthly called tho Mississipp Agriculturist. If the inhabitants aro no ecii?ed on more subjects than one, it wil not be for the want of printing houses. Politically, tho feeling bora- is nbou as it is in South Carolina. Though som* men, whoso walk and conversation scemi to bo tili?t'of gentlemen, are radicals thoy uro universally despised by the trui hearted Mississippian. Carpet-bagger are abundant, and of course hold uuel offices M enable them to floeoo the trea? sury, tut is doce everywhere by the same creature*. Mississippi has been re- i admitted, and yesterday her black and tan Legislature met in Jackson. Alcorn, her Governor, is a nativo born? bot has been on both sides, top and bottom, of the political fence. Aa ho has always deserted the party that supported him, and na be was elected by toe radicals, there is strong hope he may make a good Democratio Governor. D.W. A. Our Street?. Mn. EDITO it: I noticed your article upon the condition of our streets. Your commendation- may hold good in general, but it does not in oue ease. I refer to the condition of the street on East Boun? dary street. I sometimes like to go to our friend, Mr. Seegers', in order to get a fresh glass of lager. But in order to get there, I find that I run the risk of a broken limb, or a cracked neck, or an injured constitution. So, Mr. Editor, touch up the "city fathers" for mo, in the case I refer to. CITIZEN. SENTKNCE or A FEMALE PERJURER - Sarah Gore, a white woman, convicted in Philadelphia of perjury, has been fined $500 and sentenced to the penitentiary for seven years. Judge Paxon, in pass? ing sentence, thus addressed the pris? oner: "You deliberately and falsely charged a respectable citizen with high crime upon your person. And haviug mada it, you brought bim iuto this court on trial, and upon that trial you committed will? ful, deliberate and corrupt perjury, in order to convict bim. You did all you could to consign an innocent man for a long term of years to tho penitentiary, and to blast bis reputation for all time. Nor is that all. I have judicial know? ledge of the fact that you havo made similar charges against several other re? spectable citizens, for the purpose of ex? torting money, and that in some of these oases you have been successful; but Mr. Weiner would not submit to your de? mands. He appeals tu a jury of his fel? low-citizens, and they have vindicated him; and ho bas also brought you to tho bar of justice, for which he deserves tho thanks of every good citizen. "Your offence is one which can receive no mercy here. While we give a burglar the extreme penult}' of tho law, we can do no less in a case like this. A man hod better havo twenty burglars in his house than one such woman as you. A burglar may steal the property of the citizen. You would rob him of his good name to make bim infamous in the com? munity, os well as sow the seeds of dis? cord in bis domestic relations." The Brignoli and McCulloch Opera Troupe are entertaining tho citizens of our neighboring eity Augusta. The Chronicle and Sentinel speaks in the bigest terms of their performanco. They will visit our city very soon. If you want a fine appetite nud good digestion use Dr. Tuft's Golden Eagle Bitters. "Ohl what un excellent Tonic," is the language of tho invalid who uses SOLO?
