Tforsday Morning, January. Ig, 1879. - -A-*"" ''' ?Wrsssia.l.1 ???*? . ' Oat readers know that it is not oar habit, as it is very far frosn our taste, to la trade oar private affairs npon their notice. The persistent, personal, and altogether unjustifiable attacks of a oity contemporary upon the proprietor of the Phcknix?the authorized agent of theAssociated Press at this point?for having sent ia certain despatch oh the 17th of December, 1872, in reference to the Senatorial election, induco us to de? part from our custom once again. As was the ease pnoe before, when the re? peated : and unjust insinuations of this sjme journal fferi directed against as, and If creed '?un 'to rojply, one shot will suffice., Tho despatch. |u.question waa the stsfement bf broeeedings- Sn a Trial Justice's court, as they were reported to es, and used in our own journal, and, in substance, telegraphed to others. It . may not hare been literally oorreot in all particulars* We were not present at the Justice's opurt} I tfl proceedings' were re* pOrtod to us as an item of news', to which, in fact, wo paid bat little attention. Next day, upon learning; further what they had been, we took the' pains to re? fer oditariully to tho matter, and to de? nounce them aB irregular. Wo declared thai, the parties charged with bribery mast make their showing elsewhere than in a Trial Justice's court, and in. face of the affidavits already of record, and con? fronted by the witnesses who appeared against them, originally. The Senator elcot, as will be remembered by onr readers, was not supported in our co lamns, nor any improper practices oh his part, or on that of any one else, up? held by us. On the contrary, the whole batch of candidates, including the one bo warmly supported by our contempo? rary, were unsparingly oharaoteiized by new unworthy of the position to which they aspired.We described the contest as substantially one between race and money, and that money had won the day. We were, in fact, called to account for qur>, denunciations of the voters as renal, and prostrate before the golden calf. So muoh for that. The intimation that improper motives influenced us in Bending the despatch, is unworthy of a respectable journal, and is absolutely groundloBs. Perhaps a reason may be fonnd for. the bad mood of onr contem? porary,' & the fact thai, as Press Agent, it has been several times oar painf al duty temporarily; t? withhold its telegraphic deapatoho*^ owing to non-payment of the weekly' assessment. Perhaps a change of Press Agent, as called for by it, might be beneficial to oar contemporary. It might be able to relieve itaelf from the pajmept of the telegraphic toUe and other dues, as was done several years ego by a journal bearing the same name,'' "and having ' ftjin 'samo business manager, as that of oar contemporary. - -We , takja . no pleasure ul personal eArlfcturwi ': We have a business/ honora? bly acquired, which is sufficient to em? ploy oar time.

The Governor shows himself alive to the Importance of encouraging immi? gration. He looks leas to foreign boon tries for i/sapply of fin^tustrtal immi? grants, possessed of sufficient capital to bay and stock emill fifths, than' to the Norihero States Of the Union. He re? commends tne ehaotment of a law pro? viding tbat all persons who immigrate to the State prior to the first day of March, 1875, and engage in the cultivation of the soil, shall receive from the State Treasury a bonus in money equal in amount to the State and County taxes assessed upon their cultivated lands and farm: bttilOings; snob, bonus to be paid annually, and to be oontinued for two years after tl^e, cultivation of snoh lands shall hare beeo'comcaenoed. This plan contemplates the setting in motion a ourrent of domestic immigration _ from the Northern States of the Union to oar own State; jn He also cecomsassds, tbat in order to encourage ' manufactories of cotton and wool in this Slate, the speedy passage of ] a law providing thafall saoh manufacto? ries that may be .established within, the limits of this State, on or before the first day of Novoroer, 1875, shall receive from.the Treasury of the State a bunas equal.to the State tax assessed npon the necessary -buildings, land and machinery of said manufactories, euch bonos to be paid annually, and to be continued for five years after such manufacturing com? pany, claiming the samo, shall have put its factory into actual operation. As a matter of equity, ho recommends that the same bonus be allowed by law to manufactories of cotton and woolen goods, already established, for a like pe? riod, commencing at the close of the present, fiscal year. The Governor postpones to a more convenient season the consideration of tho question of the publio debt, feeling the embarrassment of the tangle in whioh he finds it, with a bankrupt Trea? sury and a shattered State credit. - We observe that in connection with the great attractions, whioh the State offers to immigrants,'and whioh ho describe?, he insists that taxes are not exorbitant. He says that the present tax of fifteen mills on the dollar is roally below that figure, because of the great under? valuation of property of all olasseB, This is a grear.,mistake, and the Go? vernor ooght not to dolude himself with cherishing any such fanoies. Taxes are heavy, oppressive, and almost unendur? able, and property is assessed, in many cases, at more than doublo its selling value. A friend, who has lately fore? closed a mortgage and bought in a plan? tation for three or four thousand dollars, and whioh will yield a very email income until extensive improvements are made so as to fit it for occupation and use, baa to pay on it at the valuation of $16,000. Were the Governor's, advanced views on ['fencing only adopted, places like that of jour friend would become profitable to work at once.' As it is, long lines of fencing have to ha.run, in addition to a iremorselesa tax, upon a valuation of at .least fonr times the value of tho proper? ty. No, -no; taxes are not low, assess? ments orb not moderate. This is a cry? ing evil, fox remedy of . which the pre? sent State administration ought to work day and night, in season and oat of sea ~t 1 SI j %AM m Uli OH The Evening Herald thus speaks of tho newlj eleoted Judge of the Eighth Cir? cuit: , ??The' Hon.

[Carolina Spartan. Tbxas.? The recent ? triumph.of Democratic party ia Texas is at loaded bf a leasing end instruerttve result-the ?wbBidenoe of' political excitement 'and disorder, and a marked restdraUoa of peace. The defeat and overthrow of the malignant party that kepi the Stats !n a continual ferment of agitation and dis? content has left the people their own masters, and Texas has become as tran? quil and orderly as any State of the Union. The discussion of politics has nearly disappeared from ita papers, and they ure now talking of little ehe than publio enterprises, railroad and bridge building, cotton growing, public schools, manufactures, and other similar health? ful topics. So contented are the people in the enjoyment of their regained rights that they are beginning to forget and torgivo the author of their lute wrongs; they oven propose to let Go v. Davis go out of office without the impeachment which, at one time, tbey acriouBly medi? tated against him, and which ho richly deaerves. Tho new Legislature elect, now about to assemble, will have a de? cided Democratic majority io both bouses, and might impeach und depose Davis in prompt order if it wished to; but some of tho loading papers are ad? vising against this measure, and propos? ing to let the Governor serve out his term unmolested. The Galvestou Aretcs thus discusses the question: ''But let us not be understood as say? ing tbut Qov. Davis does uot deserve to bo impeached and ousted from his high office. He has been guilty of offences against the great majority of our citi? zens that, in many cases, were hnrd to suffer. With commendable forbearance, however, they have borne during the past three years, aud despite the mnuy acts of Davis aud his satellites, the Stutu has grown in wealth and population as never before. And this, too, when the Democracy of the State was utterly una? ble to prevent the extreme pressures of the Radical administration. JSow Davis is almost powerless, except in the mat? ter of appointment*, aud these uro few and uuimportant. If the obnoxious measures passed by the last Legislature, at the snggeation of Gov. Davis, cannot be repealed, (he being likely to veto their repeal,) their being put in force can be prevented by failing to make appropria? tions therefor. "Why, then, uot allow him to finish out his term? It ia but one year more. Id that time, hemmed iu ou every side by the Dsmooraoy, he will bo powerless to do us harm. Why, then, attempt his impeachment, and run the risk thereby of being placed iu the helpless condition of our sister State of Louisiana? Every i o jo knows that Davis cannot be unseat? ed without a struggle. His firbt move, if it is uot already arranged, after his impenohment, would be to call ou Gen. Grant for assistance to retain him in his position. What reasons have we for supposing that the President would not give him the required assistance? What would follow? Probably thin: Tbat Davis would retain bis office for four years instead of one. This could not fail to produoe unoasiness not only with our own citizens, but with the capitalists of tho North, who are cow investing their means in tho construction of rail toads and other internal improvements, and would certainly stop the flow of im? migration that ia ooming io from every quarter of the Union as-well as Europe." -?? "Rekindliko Hatbeds."?It ia "offen? sive" to Forney for the Southern people to erect a monument to tho memory of General Lee. He says: "The Southern Generals were rebbls, and it is contrary to every theory of go? vernment tbat their memories, as such, should be perpetuated in brass and stone. In losing the war tbey lost all right to renown as wurriors, and tho erection of monuments to them amounts to nothing elso than the assurance that the glory of the South is her rebellion. It is not for the good of the couutry that the young men of. the South be taught their duty to' the Government in such lessons as would bo...learned from monuments to Lee and Stonewall Jackson'. Wo uro also told that such efforts 'rekindle hatreds.'" 1 " Wc do uot know what theories of go? vernment havo to do with erecting a memorial to tho man.whom Forney him? self is obliged to stylo "a great man and a bravo aoldior." Does Forney wiah the work of Southern gratitude and admira? tion stopped by Presidential ukase or Congressional enaotment? His language, in its soneeleas bitterness, would imply as much. A Washington telegram says: "Army circles, aro somewhat agitated over the bill just brought forward by Senator Ames. In 1866, Congress passed a law providing for four regiments iu the regu? lar army, the enlistments in which to be opened exclusively .to. colored men. These regiments were doaigned for Eofvi?o in such portions Of tho Sonthero States, whore tho peculiar temperament of - the black man enabled' him ; to witb fitund moro successfully than.'the white man the enervating effects of the climate. There are forty regimental organizations in the, army, and Mr. Ames, by his bill, proposes to? do away with the distinctive; organization of the four oolored regi* meats and throw open the whole forty to tho enlistment of men of that race."

The attention of the parties concerned is directed to tbo daugerous projection of a plank in front of Mr. N. O. Park? er's new buildiug ou Main street. The plank is used during the day for rolling wheelbarrows on, aud at night is care? lessly put in a position extremely dan? gerous to persons passing on the side? walk. It is just high enough and pro? jects over the pavement a sufiloieut ljngth to badly damage some person's good looks. Col. L. D.

He was considerably taken back, yester | day, upon being informed by one of tho members that it would require $1,000 to carry tbe matter through. The position pays about 81,500, aud Mr. N. is worried as to whero the $1,000 is to come from. The Grand Central Dry Goods estab? lishment of Messrs. W. D. Love & Co.
