The Connecticut IS lectio m
To-morrow, tbe Gth instant, an elec?
tion will take plaoe in Connecticut,
when a Legislature, Governor and State
officers will be ohoson. As great inte?
rest is felt in this election, it - may be
well to notice tbe results of past politi?
cal contest* iu that State. From l?56
to 1866, botb inclusive, tbe State went,
regularlv Republican by majorities vary?
ing from' 11,000 in 1865 to 541 in 1870.
In ten elections since 1866?eight for
Governor and two for President?tbe
State ha? been Republican six times;
while in tbe elections for Governor
alone, eaob party has carried tbe State
fear t:s?s. la ihcGs ?l?oiiw- o, the ag?
gregate Republican majority, inolndiug
a plurality of 100 in 1672, was 1,098,
and the aggregate Demo oratio majority
was 6,868. Last year, tbe Ddmocrats
elected their Governor by a majority of
5,814. -Tbe present administration of
the State Government has given great
satisfuoiion. Tbe Governor?Charles
J. Ingersoll?has made a wiso and dig?
nified exeontive, and there is nothing
for'which he and the subordinate State
officers can be reproaobed. This is a
strong card in the present oontcst. On
the other hand, the course of the party
in control, of the National Administra?
tion has given great umbrage to the Re?
publican voters, and there will be a
heavy falling away at the polls, as in
New Hampshire. The prospect is, that
Con neotiont will - elect the Democratic
State tioket by a significant majority,
and that even the Legislature will be
Demooratio. If tbe rottenborongh sys?
tem did not prevail in the Wooden Nut?
meg State, we should feel sure of a De?
mooratio Legislature. Should the Demo,
orats carry the L -'gislaturo, a Demooratio
Senator will be chosen next winter.
Bilboa.?Every day, ulmost, the cable
telegrams bring to ns news from the
present chief seat of war between the
Spanish Government and the Carlisle.
Of course the reports are both perplex?
ing and conflicting, eaoh side olaimiug
a substantial victory in every combat.
At this distance we canuot pretend to
deoide to which party the advantage bo
longs, but as both attach great impor?
tance to theresalt of the siege of Bilboa,
a few words concerning this ancient
town may not be out of plaoe:
"Bilboa is an important town, oue of
the most busy and thrifty in Spain, and
has about 20,000 inhabitants. It was in
ancient times theoapital of the provinoe
of Bisoay, and is situated on a fine plain
on the river Ibaizabal, abont sixteeu
miles above its month. It was founded
in the year 1300, and possesses an ex?
tensive oommeroe, exporting chiefly
iron, steel, wool, fish, corn and fruits.
The town is,well built und paved. No
wheeled carriages are allowed to pass
along its streets, but all goods are car?
ried in panniers on mules or in*sledges.
Its manufactures are hardware, anobors,
leather, tobuooo, paper bats and earthen?
ware. Lirge vessels usually anchor at
Portuguluto, near the month of the
river, or at Olaviaga, about fonr miles
below the town. Spring tides rise about
thirteen feet; and by taking advantage
of them, vessels of considerable size
oooasiocally reach tbo town. Tho town
is enolo8ud by lofty mountains, has a
fine promonade along the river, whiob
is here crossed by a new iron suspension
bridge, and an old stone bridge of three
arohes; it possesses numerous convents
and monasteries, a town hall, oathedral,
large new hospital and public slaughter
house. It has also superior schools,
supported by its tribunal of commerce,
and a large public oemetery. Bilboa
wa9 the Boehe of frequent contests iu
former Carlist wars, and Zumalaoarregui,
Genaral-in-Ohief of tbe Oarliats of that
day, received his death would there
on the 10th of Jone, 1835.
?<-??-?
MbrbiXiT??This worthy is not yet out
of the woods. Senator L5aj aid is deter?
mined to press his resolution calling for
information in regard to Morrib's re?
ported delinquencies, and the Now York
World*.* oatspoken in its denunoialions
of the whole rasoally business. That
paper now says that "ibid officer, whom
Senator Scott so mnoh admires, and
who was appointed to South Carolina
from Kansas, is the very same Major
Lowis Merrill who, while bis oommuud
was iu the front, waged safo war in
North Missouri upon women, preachers
and inoffensive old men, and who made
it his boast that he had bauishod 1,500
persons from that seotioo, for their opi
i nion's sake." Tbo World gived, also, u
complete history of Merrill's career in
South Carolina, and concludes its article
in these words: "It will thus bo soon,
that in addition to his breach of tbo re?
gulations of war, Merrill is criminally
liable to the S mth Carolina Courts for
lobbying a bill, for corruptly manipulat?
ing tbe commission ander the bill in bis
own interests, for presenting false and
fraudulent claims beforo that commis?
sion, and for procuring confessions from
n number of persous by deceit, threats
and promises, for vach of wbioh persons
so confessing he and his associates re?
ceived a roward of 3200."
Merrill's sharo of the Ku Klnx re?
wards was $21,400.

I . Thb Tax-Patches' Commotes in Wash
I inqton.?The correspondent of tbe
Charleston Netca ana] Courier writes ae
foUo3uf I I ,|j f i ? j
.Vice-President Wilson; received tbe
delegates with much ?:?warmth, a?H ajjf
appeared to take the greatest interest in
t??ir"case. He made a ver/favorable
impression upon his visitors. Among
the other notables called npon wero the
Secretary of War, Mr. 13elkuup; the
Secretary of the Navy, Mr, Robeson;
tho Seorotury of tbo Treasury, Mr.
Biohardson, and other members of tbe
Cabinet; Senutors Morton, Carpenter,
Boutwell, Pratt, Logan, Fen ton and
Bayard, Speaker Blaine and Representa?
tives Daw es, Book, and a host of others.
In evo-y instance, without any excep?
tion, tho delegates wero weloomed with
tbe respect dno to them as individuals,
and with tbe sympathy and considera?
tion to which the real representatives of
eo !srge z ccistitucuGj ot wronged and
buffering American oitizons aro entitled.
Nowhere has their simple but appalling
statement of our condition met with tbo
slightest question. Among others with
whom they oonversed were the entire
Congressional delegation from South
Carolina, Senators und Ropresentatives,
eaoh of whom expressed himself unre?
servedly in favor of the ends whioh tbe
tax-payers aro seeking, though tbe
sohemes by whioh some of them pro?
pose to reaoh those ouds aro not exactly
such as would be hailed with delight by
the property-holding class. The plan
of reform most iu favor just now with
those who are supposed to represeut
our State in Congress is to make Mr.
ex-Attorney-General D. H. Chamber?
lain, tbe next Governor of South Caro?
lina.
It will doubtless surprise most of your
readers to hear that among tbe pleasant
est of the many intervews which tbe
delegates have had hero with public
men, were those with Gen. William Te
aumseh Sherman und Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler. Sherman was in a particularly
good humor when visited, and iadulged
freely in jokes and reminiscences of
Sullivan's Island in the olden time.
There wero several of the delegates with
whom be had formerly been acquainted,
and as be stood pleasantly chatting with
thorn, it was hard to realize that tbe I
hero of Columbia was before us. Bun.
Butler was very aordial; said that be
knew things were bud in South Caro?
lina, and promised that when tbe memo?
rial comes before the Judiciary Commit?
tee of tbo House, it "should have a fair
showing." (This may mean u great
deal, or it may mean uotbiug at all.) Ho
Baid that wbeuever bo tried to do any?
thing for the South, some busy-body in
that part of tbe country would forth?
with mail him a scrap of newspaper,
I telling him what somebody or other ut
tbe South had said about bim. He was
beginning to think that it would bo a
good thing for tho "country, if three or
four of the Republican editors of the
South were hangod. Ho actually could
not cross tbe floor of the House of Rep?
resentatives to talk to Young, of Geor?
gia, without people remarking that
"Butler is getting too intimate with tho
d?d rebels." The conversation turned
oa tbo prospoot of getting the black
voters interested in reform, when one of
tbe delegates despondingly assured tbo
General, that he had made twenty-three
speeches in the reform canvass to meet?
ings of bis fellow-citizens. Every
speech had" been received with vocife?
rous demonstrations of applause and
sympathy; but when tho polls wero
opened, not five reform niggers could be
found anywhere. "Ab!" elyly replied
tbe E^sex statesman, "1 seo how it is.
It was ull because you gentlemen will
insist on spoiling nigger with two g's. j
The visit was not time lost, by any |
means. Butler is a power here, und 1
think ho will do what ho enn for tin, al
wuyu provided that it does not clash, iu
any wuy, with tho interests of B. F. B.

The samo correspondent telegraphs,
under date of tho 3J:
Tho ci.se of tho South Carolina tax?
payers was considered to-day by tbe
Judiciary Committee of tbe House, who
appointed a snb-uommitteo, consisting
of Tremaiue, of New York, Ehlridgo, of
Wisconsin, and White, of Alabama, to
boar tbo petitioners und their oppo?
nents. The hearing will take place on
Monday. Tho taxpayers' delegation j
huvo appointed Messrs. Porter. Kor
shaw, Elliott, Lathers and T. Y. Simous
a snb-committeo to conduct their case.
Tho rest of the delegation will return
homeward to-morrow. The point now
aimed at by the tax-payers is to induce
the Judiciary Committee to recommend
the appointment oft an investigating
committee, so that Congress may be?
come ollicially cognizant of tho condi?
tion of South Carolina. This is consi?
dered no indispensable preliminary to
Congressional action. Tho delegation
from tbe Tax-Payers' Convention and
tbe Charleston Chamber of Commerce,
upon reviewing oulmly tbe occurrences
of tho past week, aro both hopeful and
euconraged. They are assured on every
side that their visit has boon already of
great benefit to tbe State, and the indi?
cations are that the final result, iu view
of tho difficulties and embarrassments
of their position, will bo satisfactory toj
their constituents.
j It is evident that a general disintegra?
tion of national political partiot is likely
to bo caused by tho bitter fights, proseut
and future, ou tho currency question,
und tho signs of the times portend a
closo alliance between tho South and
tbo West ngrtinut tho East. Tbo wider
tbo split between tho hard-money meu
of tho E?st and progressiva financiers
of tbo West, tbo greater will be tbe oou
sideration paid to tho Southern States.
(Jen. B. F. Butler, for example, is pre?
paring a formidable speuch in favor of
inflation, deeming that tho winning card

Tho following extract from the "Elec?

formation:
"Sbo 9. All bar-rooms, saloons and
other places for the sale of liquors by
retail, shall be blo%ed at G o'clock of fbe

tion, aud remain closed until G o'clock
in the morning of tho day thereafter,
and during the time aforesaid, tho sale
of intoxicating liquors ia prohibited.
Any person duly con vioted bufora u com?
petent court of a violation of thii sec?
tion, shall bo punished by u flue not tx.
cceding S50, or by imprisonment, not
exceeding six months, or by both such

of tho court."
The regular and special policemen
buve been instructed to report all viola?
tions of above-stated law.
JOHN ALEXINDER, Mayor.
And uow wo uro informed that there
is u panic in London, and tho Times of
that city finds longer concealment of
tho fact unnecessary. The beauty
about n panic is that its presence can't
bo rery well concealed, but makes itself
known by uumistakublu manifestations.
Well, New York has had a panic, Yienua
has had a panic, and wo see no reason
why Lvndou should not have one also.
We hope, however, that its influence
will not be felt upon this side of the
water. The panic of last autumn has
already been made the K?pe gout of
evory rotten house and wild out corpo?
ration which has oomo to grief, and we
wich no more of it in tbie country.
Tue Bank of tub Statk Hills.?In
accordance with tho recent decision of
the United StatesSupreme Court, which
declared that tbo bills of the Bank of
the State were receivable for State taxes,
u number of tbo holders of the bills
made a formal tender of tho bill* to the
County Treasurer in payment of taxes.
Tho teudor was refused, and proceed?
ings were at once commenced to compel
u compliance with the decree of thu
court. Application has been made to
Judge Graham for a rule against tho
County Treasnrar, to show oamo why a
bill of mandamus should uot bu issued
compelling tbum to receive the bills in
payment of taxes. Tbo Attorney-Gene?
ral of tho State, who will appear for the
Treasurer, has indicated tho 22 J of April
as tho day on which ho will file a return,
and the relators tire given uutil the 29th
instant to reply to tho return. The case
will on that day ho argued at chambers
in Charleston. It is thought that only
about $00,000 of the bills have boon
tendered in payment of taxed through?
out the State. Soue tea or twelve ?nun
damns cases are ponding against County
Treasurer Shaffer, of Walturboro, to
show oausc why he has refused to take
tho bills of the Hank of tho State in
payment of taxes. The case will bu ar?
gued ou the 8th instant, before Judge
Malier, of the Second Circuit, who
granted the writs. Mr. M. E. Hutchin?
son uppoars for the potitiuuers, ami
Carlos Trucy for tho respondent.
United States Court.?Too Judge
approved of tbo appointment of T. J.
Wilbur us assigneo of Paul A; Webb,

ferred to tho registrar to report after
final hearing and uotico to creditors.
Tho petition of Jas. Sanders to establish
lieu iu tho case of W. Allen, bankrupt,
was read, and tho Judge ordered that
tho previous order as to judgment of
money to creditors bo suspended, and
the time for lien creditors bo postponed
until the 1st of May nest, and that tho

of Mrs. Eliztbeth 11. Priuglo to bo al?
lowed to prove debts iu the case of

tion bu referred to J. C. Carpenter,.re?

Barn and Stadleh Burned.?The
b.iru und Htables of Mr. Hoguu Motes,
residing iu tho neighborhood of Cross
Hill, was entirely destroyed by fire, in?
cluding all Iiis long forage, gearing, &o ,
ou Wednesday night, 25th tilt. The
fire was undoubtedly the work of an in
ceudiary, us matches were found scat
terod about near the situ of the burnt
buildings. None of tho stock in thu j
stables wus injured, tbey evidently hav
ing boon turned out by tho perpetrator,
or perpetrutor?, of tho deed. An effort
was made to burn tbo gin house also,
containing a quantity of cotton, but tbe
effort proved a failure. A torch hud
been thrown into tho lint-room, but
went out before doing uuy damage,
there being no lint iu the room, or uot
enough at least, to net fire to the titulier.

that of tho amount received annually

The Profits and Benefits of Banks.
Columbia baa a fair proportion of bank
ins;- institutions/ -'Efforts btre beer?
made, frdm time ?p time, to] increase^
their number,*! bai without BaccesRfc
which fully establishes the fact that we
are welt' supplied, both as to number
and accommodation. Tbo baukiug iy
stitutions of this city, ns well us those of
the State, buve ever held a deservedly
popular position iu tho monetary circles
of the country; and it is with feeling* of
pride that we refer to the fuot that,,
either before or since the war, but one
of thorn have ever nuooumbed to u
financial pressure; aud even that would
probably have been nourishing to-day,
had tho ShylockM b?en less avaricioap.
It is woll kuowu that our bank* have
exorcised large liberality toward the
busioess uiou of our city, always bound?
ed, of oiur.it), by proper discretion; tho
latter being necessarily increased by tho
recent panic. The profits of tbeso in?
stitutions are sufficiently evidenced by
tho development nod progree* they have
made, both iu tho routiuu of business
ahd iu their facility for transacting a
Urge aud iucrousiug baukiug accommo?
dation. We are led to these reflections
by the gratifying exhibit of tho South
Carolina Biuk uml Trust Company,
which occupies a conspicuous position
in tho columns of this morning's
PlKENIX. This statement is the first
which this btnk has made public?beiug
for tbo quarter ending the 31at of
Match, 187*?and is only published
now in conformity with the Act of the
General Assembly requiring its publica?
tion. Hitherto this bank has made no
public exhibit of its condition?nut that
its officers feared a comparison with the
other banks of tbo city, but ou the
principle that silence is golden, and a
sound institution sounds its own praise*.
But now that the statement is before
thu public, they oan shut one eye and
sue that tbo companion speaks volumes
in furor of tho South Carolina Bank and
Trust Company; especially when we
take into consideration the fact that
it doea not enjoy tho privileges and
benefits of a bank of issue. This
bank passed through tho late disas?
trous panic with a firmness and credit
unsurpassed by any banking institution
iu the Stute; and that successful fight
with ouo of tbo Heverost of financial
crises, bus served, if possible, to plant
it more firmly iu tho pnblio conti ienoe,
and place it on an enduring and im?
movable basis. It will bo seen, by
reference to the exhibit, that'this bank
draws sight drafts on all the principal
oities of tbe United States and Europe,
receives till classes of deposits, on which,
by agreomeut, liberal rates of iutere.-t
are puid, and makes collections with a
promptitude that guarantees continued
patronage. The deposits now on hand
approximate tho sam of $300,000, uside
from the deposits of tho State, which
mauifeflt:i tho confidence of the people
in tbo soundness of the bank. This in?
stitution has, for a length of time, been
tho State depository, which is equally
praiseworthy of its management. We
cannot close this favorable array of fuctp,
however, without rouderiug unto Ciosar
tho things that areCiOwr's. The honor
of the solidity of this bank aud its
financial integrity are duo mainly to its
efficient aud shrewd President, Hardy
Salomon, E*q.?than whom a more
suitable gentleman for tho position
could scarcely bo found; and it is a
most creditable choice on the part of
the direction of tbe bank. As his
financial ability und general business
oupacity arc fully developed by a large
aud increasing private business, tho
South Carolina Bank and Trust Com?
pany secure his enlarged experience,
and thereby enable tbemsolvcs to com?

Dr Schbnck's Standard Remedies.
?Tho standard remedies for all diseases
of tho lungs are Scuenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Scuenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
ScnENCK's Mandrake Pills; and, if
taken before the lungs are destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected. To tbeso three
mediciues, Dr. J. H. Schenok, of Phila?
delphia, owes his unrivaled success in
tho treatment of pulmonary diseases.
Tbe Pulinouio Syrup ripons tbe mor?
bid matter iu the lungs; nature throws
it off by un easy expectoration; for when
tho phlegm or matter is ripe, a Blight
cough will throw it off, tho patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills and
Scbeuck's Sea Weed Tonio most /bo
freely used, to cleanse tbe stomach and
liver. Sohenck's Mandrake Pi its act on
the liver, removing ull obstructions, re?
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, aud tho liver is soon relieved.
Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonio is a gentle
stimulant and alterative. The alkali of
which it is composed mixes with the
food and proveuts eouring. It assists
tho digestion by toning up the stomach
to a healthy condition, so that tho food
and the Pulmonio Syrup will make good
blood; thon tbe lungs heal, and tho pa?
tient will surely get well, if care is taken
to provent fresh cold.
All who wish to oousult Dr. Sohcnck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal office, corner of Sixth
aud Aroh streets, Philadelphia, -every
Monday. Sohenck's medicines are Bold
by all druggists throughout the country.
