Fln.afje?. ; Some of oar road era have called upon -"S*5T s"*b?"M? i"fo?m*Hon ti non tb LB important question. At present, we have no oilier iu?urum?o? bojead thxt COB* taiued in the statements and eurmisea of the New York World We shall be posted ss promptly as pomihle. and give the unvarnished truth to the public. We have no private ends to subserve, and no ulterior purposes to effeot. This xnuoh we oan say: Wo believe that the developments made are suggestive and startling. Wo have no confidence in the . State officials o?nneoted with the State r<grtma,.and in. good faith we are pro pared to believe that they are equal to almost any. scheme of swindling, and are and-have been ready to go to tho farthest bounds of rascality. As to the t}^tails furnished by the World, we are not prepared to pass judgment thereon in aii respects. We hold, however, that tbe propositions of the World aro enti? tled to grave consideration. Of one thing wo aro sure, and that is, that there is flomothlug vory rotten in Donmark, and that it becomes persons interested to look oarefully to their interests. Our financial affairs are no doubt in a desperate condition. We know not what the future may bring forth; but this we do know, .that, come what may, after death comes the resurrection, and South Carolina will live and not die. Tbe Governor aud the Taxes. The Union, of Monday, oontained the following notice:, OFFICE OP ATO?TOU OF STATE, COLUMBIA, 8. C., November 10,1871. It having been reported in some of the papers in this State, that a promise had been made by his Excellency Go? vernor R. ?. Scott, to tbe late Tax Payers' Convention, to extend tbe time for tho ' collection of taxes for 1871, I . would Bay, for the information of all concerned, and for the purpose of doing away with any ill effect which such a re port might induce, and at the same time to leave no exoUse for non-payment at the proper time, that, in conference with his Excellency, this morning, he in? formed me that he made no such general promise as has been ascribed to, him. His Excellency informs me that the committee of tho Tax-Payers' Con? vention who waited upon him in r?f?r? ence to matters relating to the collection of taxes, niter a discussion of tho sub? ject, decided that November was tbe proper time for the collection of taxes in the upper Counties; but that in those Oonnties where sea island cotton ie grown, payment oould not be made until March, without sacrifice. His Excellency, therefore, agreed tc suspend tbe collection from those upon the sea-board until that lime, where they were unable to pay sooner. Persons desiring to avail themselves of.the benefits of this promisewill ba re? quired to file a petition with the County Auditor previous to the time nt which the penalty attaches, acoompauied by affidavits that returns from crops bad not been received; such petitions will be. considered. The public will, therefore, place no ro liance upon tho report referred to, as ] am assured by his Excellency that nc extensions of time, other than those men tioned, will bo granted. The collection of tuxes for this fison year will oommenco on the 20th instant and continue until the 15th of Januar j next; after which time, tbe penaltioi prescribed by law will attach, and b< striotly enforced. County Treasurers will proceed -ai onae to enforoe the collection of all de linquent taxes for previous years. EDWIN GARY, State Auditor. Our readers will observe thestatemeni of the Governor as to the time for thi payment of taxes. Let us now to tb? record. On page 101, "Proceedings o the Tax-payers' Convention," wo extrae tho following: "The speoial committee direoted bj the Convention to confer with tbe Go vernor of tho State in relation to th? postponement of the collection of taxei in November ensuing, (this month,) bet: leave to report: "That, impressed with the conviction under the peculiar circumstances of tb? oase, and in view oi the fact that tin people of the State are thus called upoi to pay the taxes for two separate yean in one, of the justice of tbe measure c relief proposed, they have had an inter view with the Governor, who hos au thorized them to Btate to the Conven tiou, that while the varions offices wil be open in November for the reoeptiot of taxes at that time from such of tb? citizens as may be then prepared to pai them; yet thai the period for their paymen will be extended to the 1st March, 1872 within which time, if payment ie made, ru penally will attach. "(Signed) T. Y. SIMONS, . Chairman." Again, Gen. Butler, Chairman of tb Oommitteo of Eleven, on page 104, ii his report, says: "Your oommittee urge? thc inability of the people, after pay im the taxes now being collected, to pay second tax in November next. His Ex oellenoy said in reply that it had bee represented to him by well informe citizens, in several parts of the State that for a large class of citizens whos taxes were small in amount the month c November was a more convenient time c .payment than any other, and he boped that to this class of oar citizens the col? lection ol theta* at thai,tuae w^oaid noi. provo' oppressive. Bn^yieltlicif td the [ representations of your oomtoittee,.',he J leqnesjM themfio reg?trt to the OonV?n- ; ti?n tfiat he would authorize the Comp- , ?clicr to suspend the collection of the taxes in all oases where the payment jchereot waa inconvenient to ?he ? a?- pay ere. That thin postponement shall extend to the Ut 0/Marchi 1872, and that the pe-, nally for itoa-poyvieni shall not he- en/orced- ? in the meantime. " Thus repor t CoL Simone and Gen. Butler-thus the record stands,' not disputed by Gov. Soott until Novem? ber 10,1871; then as above, according to the Auditor of the State, be douies that he made the promise reported to the Gonvention by the chairmen of two im? portant committees. What nindi be thought of snoh a Governor? Comment, for the present, we shall not fnrther make. . 'The fteipointbllllyoftfte Prcas1* Again. The Radical organ hero-not inappro? priately called tho Union, since it well represents the three combined classes of carpet-baggers, native renegade* and the unreasonable negroes-has sought again and again to fasten npon the lead? ing white men of this State and the Demooratio press, the responsibility for the diBordor and violence that have, to a oertain extent, prevailed here and there in the up-country. We have already demonstrated how ntterly unfounded ar? the Union's points on this subject. Not only has it grossly exaggerated the acts that haye occurred, and invented some, and misrepresented others, and failed to oorreot its statements when disproved; it hos farther studiously nought to shift the responsibility from the shoulders where it rests, to put it on the heads of the victims themselves. Tho Union and its corrupt party associates have advo? cated the policy of depriving a olass of our people of their inherited and blood bought rights, and then they turn around and complain bitterly of the fact that these ostracised men do not exert the influenoe that they should in behalf of law and order. Such men are not good enough to hold offloe-being "rebels;" but they are deemed good enough to save swindlers and incendiaries from the swift vengeance of Lynch law! No-as we have before said-we have ever op? posed all secret politioal organizations whatever; but we do affirm most de? cidedly, that what there has been or may be of this alleged Ku Kloxism-about which we know as little as Grant, out? side of its philosophy-is to be attribut? ed to the State regime and the Loyal Leaguers. When the Loyal Leaguers wero scattered all through the up? country; when Soott formed his negro militia, and issued his Winchester rifles, with bull cartridges; when State ofBeen? commenced to steal, aud County officers followed suit; when Scott pardoned and sent forth his penitentiary pets; when the Land Commissioner began to swindle; when tho Legislature became a corrupt mass, with a redeeming minority only-when mis-rule, profligacy, fraud and corruption nando tho State Govern? ment a disgrace to civilization, and brought it into utter contempt-then it was that the seods of wbatover there is or was of Ku Kluxism, were sowed. Wo regretted to believe that thero were local organizations in some parts of the State. We know that tho (ree of Lynch law sometimes boro good fruit; but wo knew also that it wonld bear evil fruit. For one, we were not willing to acoept tho good in view of the evils to follow. Whilst, however, we must condemn scoret organizations, for disciplinary purposes, and must ever advocate in these times a policy that will commend itself aliko to God and the civilized world, yet we repeat it, that tho cause of the up-country troubles is in the State regime. It follows, then, that if the Union was fulfilling the functions of use? ful and honest journalism, it would not confine itself to denunciations of Ku Kluxism. And yet it does. It is terri? ble on the terrible Ku Klux, but it is sweet on the corrupt State officials. Little has it to say about tho pnblio swindling, the corruptions and fraud carried on all around it. It is ready to bolster np a oorrupt regime, to conceal, to exouBe, to palliate, to white-wush, to oover up, to move off from tho point. But wo shall keep it to tho point, and to an intelligent publio we shall expose its ounning, its petty arts, its numerous tricks, und its false pretensions. We shall show it as we believe it to* be, an enemy in the Columbia camp, a foe to all the true interests of the people. FIRE.-Between 8 and 7 o'olock last evening, the ory of fire resounded ou East Bay, which was oansod by tho burn? ing of the bake house of J. J. Bnckbeit, East Bay, near Elliott street. It origi? nated in a defective oven, and damaged tue building to the extent of $1,200, whioh was not covered by insurance. [Charleston Couria'.

"Now ia the time,'Vit saya, "to send in your subscription." ??No anbsoriptloh taken for lesa than three months." No doubt it woqld .'snit the) Uni?n, pbjb its corrupt*.swindling patty .associates admirably well, to bush up - this tajk about the Stats fiuuooea and the bond question. But its motives are too "thin" not to be seen through and through. The bunters are after the game that the publie, want. No baying on the Union part,' or braying either-co howling of tbe Union, or mouthing either, on the Ku Klux scent, will divert the Nimrods cf tbe people. But this is not all. Ob? serve the brazen effrontery of this brazen sheet. It says: "If there baa been fraud in the shape of an over-issue ol bonds, or in uuy other shape, those guilty will be brought to the bar of justice aud puuished; but whatever may bo tbe- facts as to thin matter, the public shall be kept apprised of the condition of things here, thal lliey may know lo what extent this immacu? late Democratic party is responsible for the present disordered slate of public affairs." For cool impudence, for illogical talk, it is hurd to find the Union surpassed. If all this rascality committed by Kudi cul officials shall be brought to light, theu the Union will publish it, that the people may kuow to what exU-ut tho Democratic party is responsible; We ueed not comment upon such proposi tions. The fnct of the matter is, the Union wants this bond question hushed up. It does not want it even discussed. What's tho harm for. light to be thrown upon it?- We want light. Tho people waut it. Truth wanta it. Justice de? mands it. The Union may be very smart, but it is not smart enough to fool every? body, and it does fool only fools. Nei? ther the Ku Klux bug-beur, nor tho De? mocratic, will drive the hunters from off the foul scoot of our State finances. Ou with the huntl The heart of honest Carolina is with tbe honest bunters. We are told tbat the report as to the over-issue of Greenville and Columbia Railroad bonds is not true-for the rea? son that said bonds, if issued, would not be bought. They are worth little or nothing. As a remedy for our financial troubles, tbe Charleston Courier advises repudia? tion ot all the bonds fraudulently issued. The News advises the withholding of td J taxes by the people until a proper exhibit of our finuuees is made. Funeral Invitation.

The night passenger train over the Sooth Carolina Railroad did not arrive in Columbia until nearly ll o'clock, yes? terday morning-owing to the breaking of a water-pipe of the locomotive.

Tko Aderbold hoe is truly a wonderful implement. It consists of two four edged oast steel blades and a neat garden plow, with the necessary fastenings for attaching them to the handle. Mr. I. D.

To give an idea of the cost of this implement, (or series of implements,) we will suite that it can be Bold, complete, at a cost of abont $2-leaving a large margin to dealers. As the blades are made of the best of cast steel, when one side gets doll, it can be ground to an edge in a short time. This implement is particularly recom? mended to planters.
