The Reform Canvas*. Wo learn from the Charleston Neus that Reform meetings have receutly been held at Landsford, Lancaster Court House, Liberty Hill and Camden, upon whioh occasions Judge Carpenter, Gene? ral Butler and oth.er speakors spoke with ofleet to large and attentive audiences. Of the Camden meetiug tho News says: CAMDEN, August 29.-The long ex? pected Reform meeting was held here -to-day. About 3.000 persons were pre? sent. Judge Carpenter and Generals Butler, Kershaw and Kenuedy, Colonel .Shannon and Mr. Leitnor delivored ad? dresses whioh satisfied the reason and aroused the enthusiasm of the vast gathering. The Rev. Jonas Byrd made a noble apeeah. Everythiug passed off quietly, and tho whole meeting was .splendidly Buooessful. Much good was vdoue. THE LATE EXPRESS ROBBERY.-Tho following are the particulars of tho rob? bery of the United States express car ou the Mississippi Road, on the morning of the 27th instant: Shortly after the train left Scott's station, two rough-looking men hastily entered the oar from thc rear platform. They were dressed in dark clothes, and their faces were con? cealed by oalico masks. lu a moment, comprehending their design, the mes? senger rose to resist them. They de? manded the keys of tho safe iu which the money was deposited, and seized him. He struggled with them despe? rately, but they forced him down on the floor. In tho oourse of the struggle, he was struck repeatedly on the hoad and face; one blow, it is feared, breaking tho bridgo of his no9e. Having bound him to a heavy chest, they ruuiaged his pockets uutil the key of the safe was found, and thou proceeded to possess themselves of the money. Having rob? bed the safe, as they thought, thorough? ly, they locked it again, aud threw the key behind some boxes in the car, whore it was found, lt is stated that one puck age, containing $5,000 iu greenbacks, was left behiud, having been overlooked. Trains aro not generally ruu at a fast rate between Scott's statiou aud Jeffer? son City, and tho robbers succeeded in jumping off safely. SUDDEN DEATH OF AN EX-CONFEDER? ATE OFFICER.-On Wednesday last, Gen. Edwin G. Leo, son-in-law of Rev. Gen. Pendleton, fell dead at the Yellow Sul? phur Springs, in Virginia, while walk? ing on the grounds. Dis&nso of the heart, it is stated, was the cause of his death. For several years, however, he hod suffered from cuusumptiou. The Sheperdstown Register says: "He was a 3-ouug mau of extraordina? ry talent and qualifications. He was a lawyer by profession, but has not prac? ticed auy since the war. At tho begin? ning of the late war, ho was aid-de-camp to General T. J. Jackson, but was soou appointed major and assigued to the thirty-third Virginia Infantry, Stonewall Brigade, aud upon tho reorganization of that regiment iu 18G2, ho was elected lieuteuaut-colouel, and soon became col? onel by tho death of that officer. He commanded his regiment iu several bat? tles, but his health falling he wa.? as? signed to post duty at Stan ut rfu, and in 1864 was promoted to brigadier gene? ral." EXEMPTIONS FROM STAMP DUTY AFTER OCTOBER 1ST.-Acting Commissioner Douglass has addressed a letter to F. M. Patrick, Esq., stamp agent at New York, stating that the only instruments subject to stamp duty under schedule B, which are held exempt from tax after the first of October next by the terms of the Act of July 14, 1870, aro. "promissory notes for a less sum than $100, receipts for any sum of money or for the payment of any debt." Section four of tho Act alluded to also provides that "no stamp shall be required upou the trausfor or assignment of a mortgage where it or the instrument it secures has boon once duly stamped." Tho agent in his communication to tho department states that many business men Reem to think that the tax is re? pealed on nil forms, aud thc acting com? missioner in his reply authorizes the publication of the decisiou to set aside that erroneous impression. NEGRO DROWNED.-On Sunday morn? ing, about ?0 o'clock, a colored boy, named Edward Jackson, about seventeen years of ago, was drowned while bathing in tho river, near Hawk's Gully. His body wno recovered Sunday afternoon, and an inquest held by Coroner Rhodes yesterday morning, thu jury returning a verdict of nooidontal drowuing. [A ugusta Constitutionalist, A Pittsburg druggist sold a woman some laudanum, aud then sent a mun right to tho house with a stomach-pump, which arrived just in time to save her. Ho then charged ton dollars for pumping hor out. "There is cheating in all trades but ours." The subject before a church council in Cincinnati is, whether oue of its mem? bers was justified iu thrashing another of its members who carno courting his daughter after being forbidden. Mean? time the courting goes ou. Important Decision.--Taxation by Coun? ty Vote for Railroads. Ma. EDITOB: The very life of tho State depends upon our restraining the dis* guised system of co)\fiscaiion now being carried on under the name of taxation. Whon tho power of taxation is given those who have little or none of the tax to pay, it becomes property-holders to apply every check the law of tho land affords. The Legislature in 1SG8, (XIV Stats, p. 75,) passed an Act authorizing Coun? ties and towns, which might be "in? terested in tho construction of the Air Line Railroad, or any blanch thereof," to subscribe to tho capital stock by au? thority of a voto of the people. Whilo this particular railroad ought to be en? couraged, (he exercise of this power is a most alarming phrase of radical confisca? tion. Now, thc exercise of such A power under authority of an Act of the Legis? lature, has time and again been decided illegal and void, by tho highest courts. No lawyer will claim that Section 8, Arti? cle 9, of the Constitution, confors any such power. The Act of tho Legisla? ture can only be relied on. The Su? premo Court of Michigan ha3 recently delivered an opinion (three Judges to one) in precisely a similar case, in which it pronounced the Statute void. The opinion is very able, well sustained by legal authority, and dolivered by Judgo Cooley, who is himself good authority upon such questions, both in Eugland and America. A full report of this case can bo found in the American Law Reg? ister, vol. 9, no. 8, p. 487. The principle decided is that no Le? gislative Act can authorize a tax to aid in the construction of a railway running through a County, township or towu. All taxes must bo laid for public pur? poses, and not for private enterprises, although in common parlance, the latter may be of a public nature. For exam? ple, a subscription may be voted by a County for a court house, but not for a railroad. I would add, that the Supreme Courts of Iowa, Wisconsin and California, have made like decisions. PROPERTY HOLDER. ?-??-? MR. EDITOR: A Reform meeting of considerable interest took place on Wednesday, the 21th iust., at Dunau's Creek, iu this County, fifteeu miles North-east of the Court House. A large number of whites and colored having arrived at an early hour, tho meeting was called to order by Mr. C?lmese, thc Chairman of the occasiou. Addresses were delivered by Y. J. Pope, Esq., Rev. Jonas Byrd, (colored,) Mr. - ? C?lmese, and Rev. G. B. Tucker-iu the ordei mcutioucd. As your readers aro familiar with thc leading principles at issue iu the im? pending eau russ, it is needless to allude iu detail to the exhaustive argument.' which were so forcibly presented bj these gentlemen. The speeches wen attentively listened to by at least 500 per sons, (oue half of whom were colored, I with that eagerness which the vital im ! port anee of the subject demands; and we hesitate not to say, that a d?cid?e impression for good was the result. In this neighborhood, the radicals heit j an opposition meeting, ou the samo dir i appointed for the Reform meeting :t I Wadlington's, and thus succeeded in de ?coying many of the colored people, win j would doubtless have attended thc for : mer. In view of this and several otho ! similar events, a stratcgem was adoptee by several gentlemen-prominent arnon* whom, wo may mention Messrs. Rober: Briggs aud Joseph Duckett-who, uidei I by tho contributions of their neighbor. I prepared for tho occasion a barbecue j reserving the d?signation of the time ti ; within a few days of the event, thoreb; j furnishing no opportunity to the radica j leaders to resort to their former exped? j outs. Tho plau succeeded admirably and though ns large a representation a j might have beeu desired was not obtain ! ed, yet we feel that the expectations o I the most sanguiue were realized. Tin \ colored in this vicinity have hitbort? i boen noted for their extreme radical pro jelivitics, and this was tho first successfu j cll'ort to inculcate tho Leachings of th ; Reform movement. 'They have arrive* at that point in their history in whiel they exhibit a willingness to hoar th ! advice of tho true white men of th ! country. We heard several of them ns sort that tho parly in power would no ' receive their support in tho coming cleo tiou. Tho spccchcs ended about 2 o'cloci jp. m., aud all retired to a heautil'ti i grove, a lew paces distant, where tw< I tables, ono for tho white, tho other fo I the colored, were groaning under th ; weight of their burdens-far more thai snOleiout for the necessities of tho phy sical man. The feast ended, tho meet ing re-assembled and organized a Before Club. Tho "powerful King of day" was nov rapidly vanishing in the Wost, and al repaired to Lheir homes; thus termin?t ing ono of tho most orderly meetings w have ever attended, for which the ca us and the community deserve congratulo tion.

C., Augast 80, 1870. Mit. EDITOR: IQ your issue for this morning appears a labored effort, from the pen of "A Citizen and Tax-Payer," to vindicate the extraordinary and un? warrantable course pursued by the Oity Council in the contraot with Mr. Pearoe and Senator Spraguo conoerning the Water Works; alboit said writer assures ns that he docs "not boliove that the Council needs any vindication." In his article ho quotes a report niudo by Alderman McKenzie iu 1SGG, in refer? ence to tho samo subject. After quoting this report, Tax-Payer Hays that "his (McKenzie's) report states iii most un? qualified terms that the supply furnished by tho springs was utterly inadequate, even at that time." Now, sir, I havo read that report, as quoted, over and over again, with all tho eyes I have, aided by a pair of Glaze's best eye-glasses, and am wholly unablo to find the unqualified statement to which Tax-Payer refers. Will he bavo the goodness to iuforin me in which paragraph of tho report it may be found? Will be theo be kind enough to allow mo the use of his nicely adjusted optics to enable me to see it; for "Optics nico it takes. I ween, To soo that which cannot bu Been." But Tax-Payer makes a quotation from another report of Mr. McKinzie's that furnishes rather a damaging element for au article in viudicatiou of tho receut action of Council. Tho quotation last named informs us that of the $9,000 spoken of ns being necessary to furnish an adequate supply of water, between $4,000 and 85,000 a year was for the single item of wood. If, now, a means of obtaining a supply of water is re? sorted to which will dispense, with uearly 85,000 of thc 89,000 outlay necessary to tho procuriug of a supply bj'tho present expeusivo means, what pretext is thero for tho present Council contracting to pay, not only tho 89,000 proposed to bc paid by a former Council, but an addi? tional sum of 87,000 over aiul above that, being nearly eighty per cent, more? Tax-Payer goes into a calculation in which, by inserting some things for which I do not think the former Council proposed to pay, he makes it appear that poor Pearce and Spraguo will only get 815G9 a year for "all tho risk and re? sponsibility in the erection, inanngemeut ?and maintenance of said works." Now, sir, as a believer iu tho justice of the injunction laid upon the people of Israel, when liviug uuder a theocracy : "Thou shalt not oppress a stranger"-I protest, in tho name of common hospi? tality, agaiust tho laj'iug of such an onerous bimlen upon tho shoulders of theso friendly sons of au inhospitable Now England clime, who propose to cast their lots iu the "sun 113' South." From tho vaunted hospitality of South Caro? linians they have aright to expect better treatment. Let this burdensome con? tract bo rescinded as quickly as possible. Let "A Citizen and Tax-Payer" pick his flint and try again. I am a pour man who pay heavy taxes to help support plundering officials, and who only de? sires JUSTICE. OUTRAGES IN CUBA.- Vengeance of a Husband.-The Havana correspondent of thc New York Times gives the follow? ing account of recent outrages in Cuba bj* brigands, and tiio vengeance takeu upon two of them by an American engi? neer whoso wife they hail cruelly mal? treated : Some time during the mouth of Maj*, a parly of fivo robbers appeared at a plantation, possessed themselves ol' seve? ral gooel horses, taking also various arti? cles of clothing belonging to an Ameri? can engineer on tho plantation, and then disappeared. The engineer, who was in Havana at tho time, became furi? ous on his return, and indulged iu severo threats against tho perpetrators of tho robberies. Some friend of the bandits communicated these threats to them, and a few days later they again appeared, took the engineer by surprise, tied him baud and foot, and then proceeded to lash him with whips and thongs until the man had fainted three times from loss of blood and pain. They then tied him np on a chair before his dwelling, and two of tho number walked iuto the house and violated bis wife. Since then tho engineer has becu almost a maniac and bent on revengo. Last Friday, bo received information that tho two bandits were then at a neighboring plantation, and without ad? vising advising anybody of his intention ho armed himself and had the good for? tune to fiud both of them lying on tho floor iu an inebriate condition. To tie them up anel rouse them sufllcicutly to linderstaud tho situation, occupied but little time, and with tho help of some ! negroes he brought them to his own I place, ordered fires to be lit and then threw both of them into big sugar kcl I ties filled with water, which soon began i to boil. Tho men lived fifteen to twenty i m i 1111 tes until the water bogan to boil. J Their attempts to throw themselves ont of tho kettles, and their demands for water and cries for pity wero heart-rend? ing, but their executioner took 11 fiend? ish delight in throwing in occasionally a little cool water, which, however, in a moment began to boil again. At tho end of tweuty-fivo minutes, both had censed to exist. When tho fact was montioued to tho Captain-General, ho remarked, "I don't wish to know it, and if such a thing has happened, I fully approve of it as a man, but ns Captaiu Geuoral, I havo so far no knowledge of tho matter. Beasts in human shape must be treated as beasts, although tho punishment was inhuman and cruel;" anel so the matter rests. The engineer has returned to his plantation, and swears not to rest until ho has caught tho other three. Somo Spaniards at? tempt to call theso bandits insurgents, but this is a mere subterfuge, as all of these robbers were criminals long before the war, and exercised their nefarious profession then and since without the [east reforoucn to politics, and in addi? tion, these bands aro composed of Cu? bans, Spaniards aud negroes. 25 Seed Rye.

Another said he would sot? ie Iiis bill as suro as shooting. Wo aro cd to tho conclusion that shooting is de sidedly uncertain. Auothor said ho loped to go ou a visit to his Satanic Ma esty, if he didn't pay us in thrco days, lavu't seen him since, but we trust ho ios hoped in vain.

THE COLUMBIA CUSTOM HOUSE.-We noko the followiug extract from the SVashingtou correspondent of tho Balti ixoro Sun: lu the appropriation bill of 18G9, Congress appropriated $75,000 for i custom house ut Columbia, S. C., cou litioned upon the donation of a suitable ?pot of ground for tho purpose, and tho relinquishment by the Stale of any claim ;o its control. Of course, timo was re? quired to comply with these conditions, jut they were all met so far ns thc peo do or State of South Carolina were cou jerucd. The ground was accepted by thc Secretary of the Treasury, plans ?vere prepared for the edifice and a superintendent aud a disbursing ugent iverc appoiutcd, and the latter oflicer proceeded to draw for a portion of the [ands in order to go on with tho work, jut was informed that nuder a law of Jougress tho "unexpended balance" had jccn covered into the treasury, and a re-appropriation of the mouey would bo necessary before the work could go on. The Columbia people, with their real jstatc, fiud themselves situated similarly to thc Indian agent who found a dam by i mill site, but no mill by a dam site. THE ICE FACTORY.-By invitation of the gentlemanly proprietor, Mr. J. C. Seegers, we paid, yesterday, a visit to Iiis ice factory, which is a substantial croudcu building, situated at the corner jf Upper aud Wiun streets. The ice aiachiuo was manufactured at Hallo, Grermauy, aud was imported by Mr. See? ders, at au expeuse of about ?7,000 iu gold. Tho factory, machinery ?iud ap purtenances cost about $11,000. Itis ra? dier diflicult to describo tho apparatus, jut wo will oudoavor to do so briefly. First is the boiler, encased in brick, in milich tho ammouia is heated, and is thence conveyed, by pipe, through a jooling box, into the freezing muk. Through this tank, the pipes containing ;ho ammonia pass, aud the tin boxes, jontaiuiug tho water to bo frozen, ore jlaced between them. Thus, it will bo ?OOU that tho ammonia and waler does jot como iu contact at all. Thc tin joxes iu which tho icc is made aro about ;hrcc feet long, seven inches wide, and ;hreo inches deep. Tho piece of ice, Adieu taken out, will weigh about twenty ?ouuds. Tho freezing tank will coutaiu L2G of these boxes. Thus it will be seen hat 2,520 pounds of ico can bo made at >uo operation, which will occupy about ive hours. Thc capacity of the machine s near 0,000 pounds per day. The ?e. s made from water drawn from Taylor's spring. The eugine which drives the nacbiucry, pumps, Sro., was made by Mr. J. A. J. Derrick, nt the Industrial [ron Works, and is very neat and com? met in its structure The establishment s under the control of Mr. Yaass, for tho i resent. Tho machine was made by Yaass it Liittmanu, of Halie, Prussia. Mr. Secgers lias long becu known ns me of our most public spirited citizens, ft will bo remembered that during tho var, he, on several occasions, distributed jcef and flour gratuitously to tho fami ic8 of soldiers who wero in tho army, tie ogaiu deserves tho thanks of tho sommunity for his ouergy aud perso rorauco in oudoavoriug to furnish them vitb n commodity which they so much iced during our heated terms. He is mw prepared to till all orders for ico. ico advertisement in auothor column. We invito attention to the communi? cation of our correspondent "Property Holder." An acute and distinguished lawyer, his views are entitled to consid? eration. Mr. Hungers, wdio enjoys tho distin? guished gratification of having intro? duced tho first ice machine into this State, requests us to extend a general in? vitation to tho citizens at largo to visit this rara avis in terris in the shape of un ice-producing apparatus, and witness its modus operandi.
