Mb- Editor: Id your last paper, I
promised to give other reaqops.wbj I
shbald opt vote for N-ieh,' and with my
view 6f tue ease. I can not for a mo
mout believe that any property-holder,
, tux-payer or honest Conservative can.
I Nash voted to exteud the limits of the
oity of Colambiu, ordering a now elec?
tion before tbe term of office of Johu
McKenzie and bis council expired.
Tbe oity limits were extendud aud tbe
old honest, trustworthy and economi?
cal council wero ejected. Then fol
lowed the Act to tax personal as wull
as real property. Nash voted for this
bit]. Next followed tbe Act to impose
taxes on business, occupations and
professiouc. Nash voted yea ou tbis.
Then followed the bill to issue tnoru
bonds, and increase tho debt of the
city to 0(500,000, as I have shown, aud
Nash voted jea on that qaestiuu.
After that, Nash voted to empower the
Mayor uud Aldermen of thu city of
Columbia to levy a Rpecial tax ou all
real aud personal property, to pay tile
interest ou the city bonds, aud the
vote of Nash is recorded for that, too.
Now, Mr. Editor, let me see how this
has eflVcted tho interest of tho proper?
ty-holders of Columbia. First, ut the
beginning there was ouly 10 mills
levied ou real est.ite, aud the value
thereof !'? the oily limits lining about
33,500,000, realized about $35,000, aud
this and licenses for liquor dealers,
market aud public exhibitions was the
entire source of income of the city.
Now thero is oolleoted 10 mills on all
real aud personal property, and 8 mills
ou real und personal properly
to pay interest ou lho bonds, or 18
mills, which, uu a valuation of uhotit.
36 000.000, brings iu $108,000, against
$35,000 former taxation; and whit
have wa lor it? Ouly u city hall in?
complete; an exhausted treasury; dis?
credit destroyed; city officials unpaid;
city doubt doubled, for it is tbis
day increased over $100,000 above thu
limit placed by the Legislature; tbo city
government carried ou by orders re?
ceivable for next year's taxes, (which
are worthless,) and the moneys collect?
ed from an over-taxed people tquuu
dercd aud gone' where the woodbine
twiueth, tho people having received
actually nothing for the increased debt
and the increased taxation. N iw Nash
is responsible for this, for ho voted for
and advocated these measures, which
have ut this day ruined our fair city.
Theo the onerous licenses were im?
posed by the vote of Nash, aud kept
upon au impoverished people strug?
gling to keep afloat through all their
troubles. N.ish, by his vote, ban
sown the seed which has brought
ubout these deplorable results;"'uud
uow, when ho has sown the wind, ho
must, reap tho whirlwind, by merited
defeat. But this is uot all, Mr. E liter;
a blight has been ou everything which
the hand of Nash has touched, except'
inn only his own prosperity, and tliat
bus increased wonderfully ou a salary
of $6(10 per year for tho past six years.
Uis gains have been like the widow's
cruise, never failing and ever respon?
sive to his wishes. The blight is ou
the penitentiary uud on the Eunatio
Asylum; the suffering ou the inmates
and the merchants who were so credu?
lous as to believe tho promises of Nash
laud his associates. Another curse on
j the city has resulted from the vote of
Nash. I moan tho water works con?
tract, iucroasiug the animal taxation
I to a large umont, and recieving no fair
equivalent therefor. Tho people,
j therefore, of the County and the city
have nothing to thank him for. Every
act has been to their injury, und not
the leust has been to keep tbe races
apart for his own ends and for his own
I purposes. The defeat of Nash de?
stroys his influence; therefore, iu no
case, should he recutve tho support of
any tax-payer or property owner. 1
have scanned bis public course care?
fully and without prejudice, and (iu
humming up the whole result, ? cannot
vote fur Nash.

of everybody connected with it. We
had the littlo twilight twinkler for
nearly a quarter of a year. Then it
had us the rost of the time. The in?
satiable maw that pretty deceitful littlo
sheet, in its nobby, metropolitan dress
of minion and nonpareil, iiad for cou?

had for shekels; the excellent voice it
hud, which it retained to the last, for

reached out for base bullion, and tho
equal avidity with which it didn't get
any! Snob a fearful old inflltionist it
was on tho debtor side; such a terrible

We hope it will sell well. We hone
the mortgage will bo satisfied. If it

The Bios Man in Europe.?If it be
true, nn reported, that Austria has eon
eluded a tfeaty of oommeroe with
Roumania without unking the consent
of the Porte, the importance of the
act oaa scarcely tie over estimated. It
is neither less nor more tb>in a recog?
nition of tbe disintegration of the
Ottoman Empire in Europe. Austria
hu9 not taken tbe step alouc, but with
tbo coucutrunce of her two powerful
neighbors, who will noon do whut
Austria has done, thus recognizing
and sauutiooing the not. Tho attitude
of the three Empires, all-powerful iu
Central und Bistern Europe, will de?
termine the future relations, not only
of Moldavia and Wallnchiu, but of
Servin also, to the Ottomau Empire.
If these provinces may couclude
treaties of commerce without tho con?
sent of their nominal Suzerain, it is
difficult to see what they may uot do.
They already possess legislative unto
I uomy, a constitution, k sovereign of
their own choosing, aud a cabinet re-j
sponsible to the Legislature. They i
manage their owu budgets, maintaiu 1
an army, the strength of which they
themselves determine. They contract1
their own loans an 1 levy their own
taxes. The Porte reserved only the
right id investiture upon the ucco.ssiou
of the sovereign, and refused them the
privileg > of uiiiiltuiiiiug an accredited
representative abroad. This last pri?
vation was, however, compensated for
by tb" permission to maintain a politi
j ual agent at tho Court of Vieuua. Not
a shred of sovereignty now remains lo
tbo Porte i xjept the right of investi?
ture, which uin-muts to just uothmg.
Turkey iu Europe bus nu urea of
207,001) square miles uud a population
of 15,500,000. The virtual sevorauee
of Moldavia aud Wallachia from the
empire detaches 45,000 square miles
and a population of il.801.OUO. Servia,
which will speedily follow the example
of the two Danubian principalities,
will carry clT 12,000 square miles more,
with a population of 1,00S.000. This
reduces the empire by 57,600 square
miles, and by nearly 5.0IJ?.000 of souls.
And what is m ist siguiticaut, tbo pro?
vinces whose virtual defection is thus
recoguiz-d by .Austria. Russia aud

aud other barbarians, still shows ti
ground-work and frame-work of Latin.
It is possible that this action may foro
simdow the ultimate solutiou of the
Eisteru question. ltonmuuia may
form a nucleus to which Bulgaria, Ru

Death or Jons Laird ?The death
of J diu L-iird, the celebrated bllip
builder, occurred on Thursday. He
was born at Greeunck, Scotland, in
1805, and was a brother of the African
explorer, Macgregor Liird, who tirst
introduced into Africa steam naviga?
tion. Ho was generally uud widely
? kuowu as i be head of tho celebrated
j firm of sbip-builders, Laird, Sons ,v
Co., of Birkeuhuad, in which business
be was actively eugaged for neatly
forty jears. As early us the ycir 1820
ho began to build iron vessels, but so
groat was the prejudice against this
class of vessels that it was necessary to
send one tu sea several tlines before
the public c ?nid by induced to accept
them as sea worthy. Mr. Liird's tirm
soon achieved a great reputation and
became very wealthy. In l?til, the
year of his retirement irom the ship
building linn, he was elected to the
llritish Parliament, in tbo interest of
the tories or conservative party, beiug
the tirst member to take a seat as rep?
resentative of the growing town of
Birkntihoad. During the late war in
tho Uuiteil States his tirm became ex?
ceedingly unpopular, owing to the
alleged manner of deception employed
to get the steam-ram Alabama <dl the
i ways and out into the English Channel
without the knowledge of the olli rials
of the British Government. He was
j called to account severely iu tho House
j of Commons ami charged with having
'allowed his love of money to overcome
Ibis patriotism and the obedience he
had sworn to observe as a subject to
tho laws of Great Britain. He replied
I on ouo occasion very curtly, refusing
I to be catechised for tbo nets of u tirm
over which he no longer bad control,
and pointed out tbat thousands ot

Good Indians.?A significant letter
from General Onater was quoted by
Mr. William Welsh, of Philadelphia,
oa a lute occasion in the Episcopal
Convention at New York. Mr. Welsh
bus been long known as an advocate of
the policy of civilizing as well as
Christianizing the Indians, bat, like
bis comradoa in the Indian Commis*
sion, bus met much opposition from
the whites. But Gen. Ouster's testi?
mony will be accepted even by those
who snspect tbe Indian Commission of
too Kauguine feeling, and bo gives
hearty evidence in proof of tbe fact
which we have long upheld, that tbo
Indian is noithcr "a red devil" nor a
"problem," infernal or otherwise, but
only a man, very like ourselves, more
easily roused to a-.-ger, perhaps, by
foul treatment, nr .i more easily con?
ciliated by fair dealing and kindness.
The S^ntee guides in the Black H?ls
expedition were subjected to a strict i
test. Guu. Custer uot ouly commends [
them as soldiers, but emphatically as
men, "free from the prevailing vices of
young men," and bo "doubts whether
a liko number of white men of tbe
same age could be collected in any
community of the sumo size whose
moral bearing would excel if equal
theirs." General Custer tells of tbe
singing of old familiar hymns ut night?
fall iu the wilderness by th.se men,
'?who but a few years ngo roamed over
the country in u statu of barbarous
wildness."
