columbia, s~ c. Tnesiay Morning, Ootober 20,1874, SUit? Board of Bqa?ll?atl?n-Hovr II , 1? to oe Constituted. We alluded two days ago to tho im? porisoooof the State Board of Equali? zation, and to the negleot heretofore of the State authorities to take the neoes sary steps to have the law constituting it properly carried oat. Its most valuable part is the election of?a mem? ber by each Congressional District, thus giving five members to the board fresh from the people, nominated and elected by the people, to oo-operate with the ex-qfflcio members, viz: The Governor, Secretary of State and Comptroller-General. The functions of this board, maioly elective and dis? charging its duties ander the sanctions of an oath, are of immense conse? quence to ft people overburdened with tax ttion. There is only one right way to constitute it, and that ia by election in the Congressional Distriots as re? quired by the law. We uro surprised, therefore, to read in the Union, of yes? terday, ander tho heading "Important Appointments," "that the Stato Con? vention having failed to nominate a Board of Equalization, ub provided for by the Aot ot the General Assem? bly," the Executive Committee of the Bepnblioan party, after a prolonged session on Sunday, put in nomination a ticket of Conservative property bolders. We have nothing to say abont the nominees. Bat where is the warrant for the as? sertion that the Stato (Radical) Con? vention has any right to make a nomi- \ nation for this office? They have no such right; there is no Aot of the Gen? eral Assembly which confer a it, even by implication. Agaiu, what has the Executive Committee of tho Republi? can party to do with it? It has no more right to put out a tioket than the City Coanoil of Columbia has, or to suggest, even to tho voters, whom they will seleot to servo on this commission. Does the Ezeontivo Committee of tho Bepnblioan party suppose that ?he people cannot aot themselves in such a matter? If this committee, or any other committee, or any individual, bad called the attention of the country to the importance of enforcing a vain- ' able regulation, it would have been well; but to meet in conclave and se? leot a tioket, and tell the people to ?leot it. is to stop directly into their shoes and usurp one of their most cherished rights. A writer of a communication, in an? other plaoe, takes a favorable view of the purposes and intention ot the com? mittee, and to this, of course, we can b avo no objections. Trade Use of the Religious Press. The trustee ia bankruptcy of the ?State of Jay Oooke & Co. will apply to the United States Court in the Dis? trict of New York to set aside a con? tract made by that firm with Bowen, the publisher and proprietor of the Independent, in Brooklyn. This con? tract provided that Bowen was to lend the use of his editorial columns and otherwiao exert himself to promote the sale of the bonds of the Northern Pa? cific Railroad. His compensation was to be a percentage in bonds and stocks ou the amount of bonds sold through whatever channel. He did receive $50,000 in bonds and $160,000 in stook, faoe value The trustee re? pudiates this oontraot, and asks that the bonds and stook be surrendered to the estate. The Court will have to de? cide whether the trustee stands morally in Jay Cooko's shoes, and if not, whe? ther tho oontraot is immoral. If it decides that it is, the bonds will have to bo restored to the estate for distri? bution among the creditors. The question involved is oue of mach into rest both to newspapers and their read? ers. The Nation discusses it in some general and jast observations upon tho ethics applicable to newspapers. It shows that a newspaper, and espeoiully a religions newspaper, stands in a very different relation to its readers from that of a broker to his customers. It may lawfully recommend peoplo to in? vest their money in a particular way. The editor or publisher may sell bonds on commission, provided he makes uo concealment as to the part he plays in tho transaction. So far, ho stands on safe ground. But the reoommondation to simplo poople by persons who havo secured their confidence as religious teaohers of investments iu goods which these teaohers have bceu secretly paid for puffing, is a practice whioh deserves sovoro reprobation. ??If the oourts,"eays tho Nation, "can be got to stamp it with judicial con? demnation, it will be a solid gaiu for the oaaso of morality. There is a groat deal said just now of the influ? ence of soienooiu destroying spiritual mindednoss, and promoting short and material views of life ? and its ebda. We wooder if those who ere making 8lese observations ever -consider se oualy whether - the rapja decline of faith is tot due, in a fur larger-degree, to the '^'open 'connection of . religion ' with trade, und to the extent to which the 'religions world oounives at the aae of religions phraseology to give a sort of theatrical deoency to base, and vul? gar lives." -;-.? -* ? ? conservative UEADOIJaktkh6, OoiiUMBiA, 8.

Financial Difficulties.?A corres? pondent of tho Now York Herald, writ? ing from New Orleans under date of October lf> says: An agout of all tbo European holders of Southern ?State bonds has arrived here, and from him I learn that the foreign creditors of these States have over 3200,000,000 in bonds, which bo is authorized to Bettle. Ho has already settled with the Governors of Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina und Arkansas, and nothing now is required by State Legislatures but to ratify tbu agreements. The basts of the settle? ment is tbtat the foreign bolders of bonds agree to fund the debt of tho several States, principal and interest, und extend the debt for twenty years at four or five per cent, interest per mnum. He informs me that be is prevented from settling the $24,000,000 lebt of this State, owing to the fact that there is no Government here with which to settle. If there was a Government with wbioh to negotiate the domestic ind foreign debt of the State.by extend? ing it thirty yoars from January, 1875 >r 1876, and accepting new funded bonds bearing four per cent, interest, ibis would require Louisiuna to pav but $16,000 or $17,000 per year in? terest on her total debt. It is believed [bat Tennessee will euttlo ou the same basis. The amounts already settled are: Virginia, $34,000,000; South Carolina, iboufc $10,000,000; North Carolina, 820,000,000; Arkansas, about $3,500, J00; Alabamu, $8.000,000. The agent asserts that at ?ve per acut, interest on the debt z. i;\x of two mills on the dollar of taxable property will in sixteen years froe any of the States of their present indobteduess. Tho draft of a bill to be submitted to all the State Legislatures to confirm the settlement has been prepared in London and has been approved by the Governors of the States named, and it Li believed will be adopted by all of them. Not a dollar of tbo prinoipal is required of any State until after thirty years. I have carefully examined the bill, and though it may be the work of a syndicate, I fail to find any very objectionable features in it. The Landaolet Business ? When Attorney-General Williams gave up the famous lundaulet wbioh brought his overweening ambition to grief, it was supposed that in doe course of timo ull other Government officials who were sporting baudsome equipages at the public expousu would follow bis exam? ple. Since last winter attention has been several times oalled to this mat? ter, but there are a number of high officials who* continue to defy pufflic opinion by drawing money from tbo Treasury to keep np carriages for their families. No less a person than Sena? tor Conkling, of New York, bus re? marked that Senators have as much right to keep carriages at tho publio expense us auy of the department of? ficials. This view seems to be rapidly coming in favor, aud several members of both Houses now say that tbey ure determined either that the department offioials shall stop this practice or tbut Congressmen shall enjoy the same pri? vilege. One Sidkjj.?It is easy to pick out cases of disturbance here aud there at the South, and so to dresB tbcm up and parade them as to convey the impres? sion that the whole South is in a fer? ment. We could do the same for the whole West or the whole East by care? fully culling items from tbo press of those parts and setting them by co? lumns with Riant headings. Tho South is as quiet to-day as auy other section of the Union. {New York Journal of Comtmra. Exactly true. Verily, Which??Old Gazaway 13.

Fatal Homicide.?On Wednesday afternoon last a difficulty occurred about four miles above this town, near the Spartanburg road, between W. H.

He leaves a large number of children, grand children and great grand-ohil ,dren. A Bio lament in the Rlgbt Direction. Mb Editor: It la bo b el dorn that bar people are able to commend any action of the Radical party in this State, that they should be ready to ac? knowledge, at any time, any evidence which they may see of a desiro on their part to give fair nt?y to the tax-payers and property-holders of the State. The greatest burden and injustice nnder which our people have groaned, has been the wanton manner in whioh the assessments of property for taxation have been made. The class who pay niueteen-twentieths of oil the tuxes of the Stute have been excluded from uny voico in fixing the valuation of pro? perty. While jealously holding on to every political right which could possi? bly be claimed for the in-el vet,, the do? minant party have practically denied to the Conservative party all protec? tion to property. Personal rights have been extended and enforced; pro? perty rights have beeu ignored und trampled on. The writer bus eeou, thereforo, with great satisfaction, an evidence of a purpose to correct this intolerable wrong in thv action of the Executive Committee of the Radical party, yesterday, in nomiuuting mem? bers of the State Board of Equaliza? tion. It appears tbut those nominations were wholly overlooked by the State Convention of both parties, and no no? minations were made. Hence, it be? came the duty of the State Executive Committee to supply the omission. The law, as fouud on page 751, of the Acts 1873-74, provides for u "State Hoard of Equalization," to consist of quo member from each Congressional District of the State, to be elected at the general election, every fourth vear. This board has power to add to, or deduct from, the aggregate valua? tion of real property in every County, so as to reduce the same to its true value in money, aud, also, to do the samt: iu the case of uny towu, city or village in any Couuty. A complete shock, is thus established opou the reckless over-valuation of real property iu this Stute. Good laws are, however, powerless unless they are properly administered by competent und faithful hand->, aud this board has hi the i to been of little, if any, value to the tux-payers of our State. Ou yesterday, the Ridioal State Executive Committee placed in nomi? nation for these most important posi? tions the following well-known tax? payers and property-holders: In the First Congressional District, B. D. Townsend, of Darlington; in the Se? cond, W. B. Smith, of Charleston; in the Third, W. D. Mars, of Abbeville; in the Fourth, George W. Melton, of Chester; and in the Fifth, Samuel J. Lee, of Aiken. The four first-named gentlemen are Conservatives. The re? maining members of the Board will be the Governor, Comptroller-General and Secretary of State, making eight members in all?four Conservatives and four Radicals. This is a move in the right direc? tion?a tardy but welcome acknow? ledgment of the right of the governed to a voioe in fixing the burden of taxa? tion. The writer is the more ready to oommeud such aotiou because it is uu peoted, and it gives the best assurance he has yet had, that the property holders of the State will be protected from ruinous assessments. One Who is Inteuested. The arrest of Tom Ballard, the noto? rious counterfeiter, has resulted iu a singular offer, The man who is most expert at forging paper money, now proposes to show the Government pro oet>ses by which successful counterfeit? ing wiil be made impossible. Bailurd makes this proposition without condi? tions;, but, of conrso, iu the hopo that if he performs what he proposes, his punishment will be made lighter. We are almost inclined to think that in suoh a case be would deserve not mercy alone, but reward. ShaiiKj .Investments and Lakoe Gains.?Luck, pluck und a judicious selection of coupons iu the Fifth Gift Concert are the remedies for the hard times, so far at least as small capital? ists are oouoerned; men who have some ready-money, all of which they don't wish to risk just now iu the vicissitudes of business and the turn of the commercial lottery-wheel, when a very small percentage invested in the Fifth Gift Concert may bring a large sum. MunDEit.?At about 9 o'clock last evening, u colored man, named Chub? by Reed, was murdered ou the promi? ses of Mr. Connelly, iu Warren street. No due has as yet boon found as to who perpetrated the deed. The body was curried to tbe upper wards guard house, und the coroner will hold an inquest this morning. ? Charleston Sun. BURNED.?Mr. G.

There were thirty-nine deaths iu New York city, from diphtheria, last week, whioh shows that tho disease makes steady progress. White House fob Rent.?At an early boar,- a queerly attired individual was eeoa perambulating the avenqo in thayioinity of the Wbite .House, hav? ing,-evidently, something on his mind. After meditating a few momenta he turned in at the main'.entrance and walked np to the front portico. He drew from a basket, wbioh be oarried, a bottle of dark looking liquid, with wbioh he besprinkled the stone floor. With another dive into his basket he brought out a placard, on whioh waa printed in large letters, "For Rent." After affixing tbis to one of the co? lumns, and satiBfiod that he bad "car? ried the news to Hiram," he disap? peared. Aftor a short time one of the Wbito Hoube employees came out, and in a melaucboly mauuer proceeded to remove the placard. Found Dead.?Mrs. Mnrgeret Mo Evoy wus fouud dead on Friday, on Arnold's farm, ou the King street road. The verdict ?f the ourouer's jury was that the deceased came to ber death from intermittent fever. Jas. Fiaek, tho man who was found dead at the Wando Works, on Friday, was prooouueed by the jury to have died from caused unknown to the jury, but in ull probability from congestion of the .bruin. Mrs. Flack, the wife of the above, died very suddenly on Sa? turday, from malariul fever. I Charleston JNetcs ami Courier. The Missino Man* ?The disappear? ance of Mr. S.
