V'i^eaMf^^V*^^***^*'**^*'**^' V1*-**" *r*^v (JOLUMBIA, -8; G. Sunday Morning. March 29,1874. -> The Tax-P^yer? In "Wntrilogton. The. gontlemou composing tho delega iion from the Tax-Payers' Convention ' /Sjars had ft .satiafaotory audience with ?tho President. He was kind enough to -express hi? sympathy with the people, of South Carolina, and-deplored the con? dition of affairs as no less unhappy here <than in Louisiana. As was $?o have iioea expeoted, the President sees no direot action that either he or Congress ?can take to remove the evils which afflict us. He has to keep within certain -official bounds, and to regard the pecu? liarities' of the public opinion which will ?oounaol interference id" State affairs in one set of oiroumstanoes and forbid it in another. We have reason to feel aoma satisfaction that our oase is getting .fairly before the oonrt of the great pub? lic opinion of the country, and is/ to a reasonable extent, appreciated in the ?Cabinet and in official quarters in Wash? ington. Interest in it will inorease the more fully it becomes known, It can? not bu dismissed with a bow and a smile. But it will take time for the truth to ina?o its way. It will take time \-o.havo it demonstrated that the ques? tions which seom only to couoern South Carolina, tho sufferings which peou . j Jiariy oppress her, are questions wbioh r oeseorn the whole family of States, arc - e?fferiags to which each may be liable - in tum. ?Our people must be patient. . \ Immediate results of relief in euch a ? iapgliv?a wo.are in, it is not wiso to ex . peat. We ?nd some enoouragoment from >_th,e language of the President, that "the matter is one wbioh rests entirely with the people," in the thought that he is /revolving>the:<tdvantages which must k -Tesaltv'k^them from their untrammeied ^??&gu. If the solution of our troubles must be woiked out by ourselves, if the /CKeadtivo and the legislative depart? ments of the Government have no war? rant to interpose in our affairs, then let ?us have a fair field aud rolievo us from tho presence aud pressure of military power. As we have often said, the ^troops are in no way offensive to our people. Personally, they are welcome, officers and men. ?Nothing of a disa? greeable character marks the relations .cWhba they have with our citizens. ?3ut while they look with proper respect to the flag as it floats in the breeze, and -?would gladly recognize its mission aa the country's symbol of power and pro? tection to the weak and oppressed, they cannot but grieve that here it ii diverted from its true object. The minions of a ?despicable and rotten State Govern? ment, the robber bands who consume our substance, as they look up at that flag, smilo aa they feel that it protects them in their plunder aud euoourages them in their insolence. Think you that Acts of the Legislature would bo stolen by officials so as to defeat the . people's will?think you that bribery and corruption would flaunt their ban ? nors in the face of honest men?think yon that the whole machinery of State ? Government would continue a mass of | putrefaction, if thereewas not something, sorno artificial support, upon which vil? lainy leans and by which it bolsters itself? That something is the powor of tbe United States Government. Re? move it, and things will adjust them? selves aright. Villains will flee, or go down to their proper level. Confidence in honest and oapable men will revive. * The interests of races and classes, that are now made to conflict, will beoomo reconciled. Remove the pressure wbioh keeps the people ander the heel of vul? gar tyrants, add makes merchandise of their dourest interests and most sacred rights. It is not consistent tu say that a State is so sovereign that uo interpo? sition can be made for her relief, and at the samo time to keep her bound hand . and foot, while rascals cousnmo hor substance and trample the life-blood out of ber. As tho matter rests entirely with tho people, leave it to them, and tbey will not trouble tbe Genoral Go? vernment with any more complaints. -i ? Good for llic President. Tho Prosidont was ovidently impressed -'by tho representations of the committee of tho Tax-Payers' Convention. He hoped that somo means might bo afford ud Of legitimately effecting tho desired relief. Wo are grateful for his good ?wishes. All that the poople of South Carolina desire is, that her condition shall be fully known, and candidly con? sidered. Let a firm foundation bo laid. , .Lot n good understanding be entered into* When that is done, reliof will come. It will not lag far behind. -? -.? About $18,000 worth of bills of tho v Pank of tho State, under the ruling of the Supremo Court of tbe United States, were tendered to General Gurney, in \payment of taxes, aud solemnly aud iin presti'^^ refused. ?hall Wo Hot? Any ProKCUtlun?! TUa Unign .pro(?U.9S. tf^0]3- HM.**?? IkatHhjFlosa $r laeoegjf of thi joint resolution, which dirCoted the Attomoy Gener|l to instatejjfgfl proceeding's againsfc tlie latejgtatejTrej^urTer, was im? material, because it was unnecessary and amounted to nothing. Wo have already commented upon the mon strou8ness oi tbis declaration, ?od need say no more of it in that point of view. If suoh opinion bad been promulgated earlier, and a. rule ot practical notion deduced from it, that only those Acts should be allowed to become laws by the signature of the Governor, which might, in the opinion of Tom, Dick and Harry, be meritorious, then few of the Acts of tbe last General Assembly w_ uld have escaped strangling. Besides, if this particular resolution was as iu signifioapt as*tbe Union pretends, then the zeal of thoso who purloiucd it was wholly misplaced. Why steal what is worthless and harmless? Tho nataral , conclusion, on tho contrary, would be, that it was made way with only because it did already amount to somothiug, and if signed and in the hands of tho At? torney-General, would amount to tuoro. From some motivo, tho same journal urges that if tho ex-Trcasurer has boeu guilty of peculation, fraud or other crime, the Attorney-General could pro? ceed against him as well without as with legislative warrant. Whether this is tho expression of a oouviotiou, or is merely a taunt and defiance Hung in the faco of the Attorney-General, wo will not pro? tend to determine. It is a question with those who look on and judge, but are powerloss to affect tho curious hu? man drama which is ecaated before their eyes in this State, whore everything is abnormal, what force the "lost" resolu? tion ought to be considered as having. The Governor regarded it as only so muoh waste paper, because, as ho says, it did not reach his office during tho session of the Legislature. Will the Attorney-General look npon it in the same light, because, although tho ex? pression of the people's will und a true legislative ouaotment, formally sealed, signed and ratified by the General As? sembly, it bears not tho Governor's sig? nature? That is one question for him to consider. 'Another will be, supposing that it has not the force of law, whether it has uuy other? Will the Attorney Gonerul conceive himself to be instruct? ed or advised by what was evidently the intention of tho Legislature? Will tho fact that its purpose has been disho? nestly thwarted, militate ngaiust the moral effeot of its plainly expressed moaning? And, lastly, what is suggest? ed by the Union, whether in mockery or candor, that the Attorney-General needs no enabling Act to stimulate him iu the discharge of an obvious duty, is like? wise calculated to arrest his attention. Are there any grouuds upon which At? torney-General Melton will feel autho? rized to toko a Btand in tho prosecution of l'arker? The people of tho State look anxiously to the time when the power of the oonrts to punish offenders against the State, and to check the ca? reer of public criminals, will bo autho? ritatively appoalod to. A groat day of reokoniug is to come. Uow long before it will dawn? The laurels of Tilden uud O'Conuer ought not to allow the Attor ney General of South Carolina to sleep. * -.-.? The State election iu Rhode Island is the first to occur iu April. It falls this year upen tho first day of tho month. Connecticut will follow on Ibo Gth. The eveut obtains additional interest und importance iu each State from tho fact that npou the result iu each will depcud tho oleonion of a United States Senator. Iu Rhode Island, Hon. Wm. Spruguc's successor is to bo chosen by tho Legis? lature to be elected, und in Connecticut, Hon. Wm. A. Buckingham's. -.?-?-. Speaking of last words, recalls tho case of Mill,ml Fill more, whoso final uttoruueo was "nourishment is palata? ble." Tho Atlanta Constitution, ooin meuting npon this fact, ouys: "The idea of tho dying statesman dwelling on victuals and eulogizing the palatability of food, is strangely unru mnntio." Strangely unromantio, perhaps, but it may be that Mr. Fillmore's "last words" woro correctly reported and not, as in tho caso of many distinguished persons, manufactured afterward for dramatic effect. Every biographer muk?s it a matter of solemn importance to bavo his horo oxpiro with somo so? norous maxim, when in poiut of reality tho reverse is true. Mr. Boso, in his history of Wm. Pitt, deolared that that rotnarkablo man exclaimed, at tbo su? premo moment of doparture, "savo my country, Hoavou!'' The nurco, boiug interrogated!, u tat od most emphatically, that he had "asked for a basin of gruel." No certain dependanco can bo placed upon tho representations, of partial friends as to tho actual laut words of tho great. The tendency is always to seizo upon the dying exprcssiou which is most proscntablu for tbo inspection of the critic or tho multitude. Tho rest is silence. ?~?r^"*"5?t1*; Bold Fbbb30oteb8.-^T^6. .latest ex? ploit ol tbe California bandits,*; under tho lead -of tho notorioua' 'VBBqjaez, eollpses, in tho high daring it ;betrayat any that have preceded it. Thd^^^l recently rnado known their presence at Coyote Holes Station, in California, by opening fire upon the station-house. Tbe inmates were told to come Q?t; one at a time, and give themselves op. This thoy did to th? number of six or soven, including the station master and his wife. The whole party were then takeu to a small bill abont a quarter of a mile away, and tnore told to sit dotju und be investigated. Tbe whole party wore pat on parole not to lcavo the Bpot, on paiu of being shot. Tho desperadoes then re'..rued to the house, and at the expirutiou of two hours, the stage from tho South drove up to the door, where it was received by two robbers, one on cash side. The "iitsiile paaaenaora were invited to got down, aud Ehe eatno invi? tation was extended to the gentlemen ineido. Heury rifles and four six-shoot? ers in the bunds of two desporate-look ing men, showed tho propriety of obey? ing orders. All took seats in a row, pursuant to orders, and euch in turn was requested to contribute something to the Vasquez fund. The passengers were relieved of their money, watcher, jewelry, &c, after which they wero tola to go and stay with the other captives, on penulty of being shot. Two other coaobes afterward drove up, and the passengers wore all treated in u similar manner. Tho drivers were requested to explain themselves, when they, too, wero stationed on tho hill; unking four? teen persons, all told, thus put on the lookout by these two bold freebooters. It was gutting along toward evening, and there being nothing to justify a longer stay, Vasquez looked through the stage stables, and soleotiuK six of the best horses, started off. Vasquez led off on bis own horse, his companions following mounted on the captured ani? mals. " Db. Schenck's Standard Remedies. ?The standard remedies for all disoases of tho lungs are Schenck's PutjMOSIC SYBur, Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic aud Sohenck's Mandrake Pills; and, if taken before tbe longs are destroyed, a speedy oure is effected. To these three medicines, Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Phila? delphia, owes his unrivaled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmouic Syrup ripens tho mor? bid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expeotoration; for when tho phlegm or mutter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest, and the lungs begin to heal. To enable tbe Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills aud Schenck's ?>ea Weed Tocio must be freely naed, to oleunse the stomach and liver. Sohenck's Mandrake Pills act ou the liver, removing all obstructions, re? lax the gall bladder, the bilo starts freely, and tbe liver is soon relieved. Sen click's Sea Weed Tonic is a geutle stimulant and alterative. Tho alkali of which it is composed mixes with tbe food and prevents souring. It assists the digesiiou by toning up tho stomach to a healthy condition, so that tho food and tbe Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and tbe pa tiont will surely get woll, if care is taken to prevent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schcuck, either personally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday. Sohenck's medicines are sold by all druggists throughout tho conutry.

G Bit man Immigration to tue Cauo LlXAS.?'*It never rains but it pours," is a proverb which s:?r?5 likely be CS? cmplified in tbo case of tbo line of steamers from Charleston. In uddition to tho Liverpool line, (in futurity,) we now learn that an offer has been made by a responsible lirm iu Germany to put on a line of steamships between Bremen and CbarUston, for tbo carrying of im? migrants, "with n guarantee tbut thVy will deliver 500 per week on very liberal terms." It is not long niuco that' tho German Government was inclined to obeok immigration with a strong buud; but it must huvo more liberul views now, else this proposed wholesale deportation by steam would not bo possible. What tbo "liberal terms" are, is not stated. [ive?e York Itulktin I S >ou after the decision of tbo Board ! of Commissioners declaring the election j for Mayor and Aldermen of tho city of j Charleston, tbo contestants made a ino tiou in the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, for the purpose of briugiug the case before that court. In a recent decision, this motion was denied,'and the contestants have now moved for the writ before Judge Graham, in the Cir? cuit Court. The return of the respond? ents has been filed, and.the argument will be heard in Charleston on Tuesday uoxt. Messrs. Miles and Barnwell tip pear for the contestants; Messrs. Cor biu it Stone for the board; and Messrs. Melton tfc Cuauiberluiu for tho Miyor and Aldermen. The labor problem seems to have reached its last analysis in Mobile, whero a negro ?lubor union rampages round the streets enforcing its edict*, uuder pcuulty oi "licking to death" any darkey who undertakes a job below "do rates ob do society." No people uro so devoted to liberty, equal rights und all that sort of thing as tbo Americans, black or white; but nono are 60 ready to sell their personal liberty and responsi? bility for the blessed privilege of puying weekly dues, and submitting to tbo domination of committees. Tbo divorce business, which has given Illinois uud Chicago iu particular such an unenviable notoriety throughout tho length and breadth of tho Union, is at last to rooeivo its quietus. The Re? vision Committee divorce bill, which has passed tbo Legislature ami is now a law, contains a provision that all evi? dence in sncb oases shall be heard in opuu court. With such a clause strictly enforced, tho popular joke about "stop? ping iu Chicago twenty minutes for diuuer uud ten for a divorce," will ne? cessarily lose all point.
