COLUMBIA, S. C Thuraiay Horning, Hov'r. 26,1874, Tb? state T?? Union, The deliberations of this body were brought to a close yesterday forenoon. They were entirelytharmonious and resulted in action at onoe temperate and firm (loaamuoh as the notice of the meeting was short, and no speoial objeot to be oonsidered by the Union was indicated in aoj quarter, the at tendance was rather email. But there was a? fair representation both of the members of the Union and of the in? telligence and oharuoter of the tax paying citizens of the State. The resolutions which were adopted ex? press, first, the purpose of the tax? payers to abstain from everything like ?captious objections to the incoming administration. They take the post of observation to see whether the pledges of the campaign are to be re? deemed, not without hope that they will be. As they have the right to do, and as it was their dnty to do, they set forth" iq a few resolutions their oon ceptipn;of what the administration of Mr. Chamberlain should endeavor to electric the way o! reform, open the double ground that the refo me are necessary and right in themselves, and that it is dislinotly pledged to them. It is entirely reasonable, it is impera tively (demanded, that the expenses of the State Government should be re? duced' within reasonable limits, and the tax levy for the present year our tailed accordingly. This should bo dono by law and withont delay. A re tarn to moderate taxation can be reasonably doferred no longer. In? stead of $1,500,000, 8500,000 is abun? dant to carry on the Governmeut of South Carolina. There can be no re? form which does not begin with this matter. The large margin for ex? travagance, fraud and stealing must at once be exaoinded. The resolution tcliich requests an extension of time within which the taxes may bo paid, with a view to obtaining the desired red notion, is entirely reasonable. By I he-way, there is no necessity on the part of the people to be in a hurry to pay their taxes. The penalties do not attach until the 15th of January, and we I rust that by that time the tax burden may bolightcned, und stronger guarantees Bcoared for its honest economical disbursement, onoe it is collected. Upon the second of the series of resolutions there oan bo no difference ef opinion with those who think fair elections one of the most important rights of the people. A registration of the eleotors is de? manded to be made in the inte? rests of good government. Frauds in elections it is equally important to prevent, as to prevent frauds in the collection und distribution of the re? sources. Registration may not accom? plish everything, bnt it will do muoh. It will be an effectual oheok, if aided by vigilance and nativity, against the repeating which, it is now known, was so large1 y practiced in the late elec? tion The next resolution is addressed directly to the Governor elect. It re? cognizes ut once his power and his duty in the matter of appointments to office. He can putiu good men, or he can put in bad and corrupt men. If he be in truth the Governor of the whole people and regard the general iinterest mure than the interest of fac? tion, if he bo a man above jobs and tricks and shallow expedients, if bo seek to stronglhen his hands in tho only way it can successfully be done, that is, by tho employment of suitablo meu iu office, eyery one of whom will feel his responsibility to the law of tho jaud und to tho law of personul houor und official duty, ho will lose no time in displacing tho hacks, party tools und corrupt jobbers who dishonor the public service. Let men?high-minded men ?take the place everywhere of tho incompetent and dishonest officials, whom it bos been tho rule in our reoent history to choose for positions requir? ing the most responsible and delicate r>euou of duty in those who fill them. Ah will be seen by reference to the resolutions adopted by the Tux Union, tho General Assembly is requested to provido by law for tho eleotion of .justices of the Peace by the people, and uImo fur tho offices of County Auditors und County Treasurers. Tho power of appointment to these offices hao been placed iu tho hands of tiio Governor notoriously and confessedly for political purposes. At the last ression notion such as is now requested was adopted by tho Hoho? of Repre? sentatives as regards the offices of Auditor and Treasurer.' Tho resolu? tion giving tho election of these of? ficers to tho people having passed the House, failed in the Senato by only one vote. It wu opposed solely on tbe ground that party interests de? manded that they should be kept in the hands of Iba, Eieoutive. Tht>y were to serve the purpose of a corrupt machinery? Wo tVust that such a pita will bo abandoned in the future,. TtinnUiKlvlng. In making a reference to the call which has gone forth to tbe people to gather themselves together and render (hanks to the. Almighty for his mor? de?, ode' of tho lights of the new' aobool of clergymen in New York in? dulges in characteristic doubts of whether there is anything to be grate? ful for. He finds that blessings, so oalled, are not universal. There is no plenty in Nebraska, none even in cer? tain Glasses of the oity of New York. There is no wealth except for a limited olass. There is no peace in Louisiana, and he might have said the some of other ill-used States. Thero is no good government to be thankful for. Taere ia not mnoh intelligence, there are only the possibilities of mind, &o., &o. He goes on in this strain, and finally oonoladea that we have a new appreciation of nature, and ought to be thankful for that, as also for the riddance from the "elemental devii," and tho "intellectual devil." That is about all this Mr. Frothiugham can find in the whole realm of the universe to stir his gratitude. One wise thought he throws out, however, and that is, that the people are not most thankful when they have the most to be thank? ful for. The least chock in prosperity makes men think of God. Tbe sick, and not those abounding in heulth, puraous not faring sumptuously every day, but mnnahing their hardly gained crust, are most likely to appreciate an bour of exemption from the pangs of hunger or the rack of bodily pain. Iu tho same way we might reason that a prostrate Stute, which has boen for years at tho very lowest point of political degradation, the prey of plunderers, tbe victim of misgovern ment, miscbauco, or something else i desperately bad, ought to buve a 1 keener sense, a more grateful feeling for every surcease of its political tor? tures, than a State like New York, euy, whioh is in the flush of a groat political 1 viotory. We try to hope that things here having reached bottom, now must i neccHoiriiy tend up. We wish to think that the otgios aro over. For ' this shadow of a hope, for this gleum ' of something possibly bettor in our , condition, let us be duly grateful. I Hope that comes to all, has not, after ' all, deserted ns. And, viewing our? selves apartfrom our political troubles, | and looking at the ufllictious of other 1 communities, from some of which we are happily exempted, wo should take ' frobh heart and go on to tbe recovery of what is only temporarily lost. I While, then, in overytbing we give j tbanks, and discern a silver lining to ; the cloud that overshadows us, wo | must not forget, what we are too prone to forget, that labor is prayer; that 1 work is the price of success, uud the 1 indisponsablo adjunct of prayer is watobfnluess. By aud by, if we only he true to ourselves, we may rejoice ' tbat we have escaped the clutches of 1 the Haiical devil, u more terrible fol low, we submit, than tho "elemental" ; devil of tho expounder of Lyric Hall. -a ?. -- l The storm of Monday, preceded by < an earthquake in Mexico, swept over the country from tbe Gulf to tho lakes, The amount of damugo inland has, no doubt, boen extremely heavy, if tho sad disasters involving loss of lifo and demolition of buildings at Tnscumbia, Ala., Keyser, West Virginia, and other points are indicative of moro Lxteusive results. Iu many pluccs roofs wore torn ofl", feuees demolished und trees uprooted. ? ? ..??..- _ FlKB and Homiciuk.?Last Friday afternoon, the gin-bouse of Mr. J. Wilson Fountain, resident near Cash-1 way Ferry, in Darlingtou County, was totally destroyed by - firo. A largo quantity of cotton seed stored in tho gin-house was saved, and but little cotton was burnt. The fire is supposed to have been caused by u mutch in the cotton being ginned. Mr. Hubert Kelly, living in what is , known as "Kellytown," (a place some 6ixtoeu miles North west of Darling? tou Court iloo.e,) was shot and killed on Saturday last by a North Carolina wugoner, whose uamo is unknown.

The election of suob an officer, the honorable position to be tilled, ih oue which demands your highest consideration. It ia oue not of proQt, of popularity, of politics, but solely of honor and merit. Yon should, therefore, bear in mind that much is involved in tbo position ot Judge?justice, equity, mcicy, as well as the iuturest and welfare of hundreds; therefore, a Judge should have varied knowledge and legul learning, good judgment, should be temperate, moral, dignified, disinterested io polities, free from prejudice, have a clear head and logical powers of reasouing. Iu the ?electiou of a man for this important ofliie, yon should not confine yourself to the Republican ranks and make it u matter of party. This has already in? jured the Republican party. He should be a mas worthy of tbo posi? tion, be he who he may. This is u matter that couoerus the welfare of the State. Politics, we think, has nothing to do with it. Already we seo a host of small fry, tisbiog for this high posi? tion, crying out "good Republicans." Now, Representatives, tbero is in the Republican party a large number of Demetriuse* who maku no small gains from selling the silver shrines for Diana, and who will be ready to ory out agaiust this article und say, ?'Workmen iu the Republican temple, sirs, ye know that by partisan craft and tbo cry of republicanism we get ollloe and make our wealth; uow don't let this politicil Paul persuade uud turn you from selecting some of us, so that our cruft will be iu danger; ex? pecting you to cry out, as the stinue workmen of old, * rest is tbo Diuuu of tbo Ephesians.!"' If you wish to honor, to raise the character of the Republican party iu this State, you mu?C rise above parti? sanship and party feelings, aud put in such a man, if be cuu be fouud inside or outside of your tanks, as an O'Neule, Wardlaw, Johnson, Cm Id well, Withers, Duncan, Harper and Carroll, who once presided with ho much dig? nity in Ihn tumplea of j isttcu iu this, State, aud gave to the bench the high and eX'ilted reputation it enjoyed tbroogbout this Union.
