Columbia, s. c. Fri lay Morning, February 19,187?. The Dobtof tlid Stata to (tie Mcrthaol? -of Columbia, for Suppllct lo ihr Lu? natic Asylum. Oar correspondent, ."Tax-Payers," in yesterday's issue, in dlsoassing the ?indebtedness 9(7 the Ooanty, to liqui? date, which a special heavy tax is pro? posed ;to be levied, makes a good point in comparing the olaims whioh oonsti* tote the debt with thoso held by mer* oh? uta, for supplies tarnished .to the Lunatic Asyluin. The County olaims have largely passed from original hands into those of purchasers, who have got; them at a heavy discount. He thfnke the faot that they are held on speculation a sufficient reason for extending time for payment a series of at least three years, eo that the bur? den may fall as lightly aa possible on -the tax-payers. The merobants of Oo ?luinbia, ho says, have, on small profits, compared with those made by buying State or County paper, been kept wait? ing lor over two years to be repaid the goods furuishod to supjaort the in? mates of the Asy lam,.and another year ?ill i?b^fearlly: elapse before they gat ih\aI principal of ijho debt'without in? terest. Wo think the suggestion only fair, and that, too,.upon the supposi? tion that..the County olaims are all le? gitimate end valid, about whioh we have no information, and which we do not question. The burden ought to be distributed through a term of years, - and rigid steps taken to prevent a like accumulation in the future Looking to the other matter brought into com? parison with the Oounty debt, we find the faot to be that over $50,000 .have been owing to merobants of Co? lombia by the Asylum for several years, for loans of i money, provisions, bedding, clothing and supplies ad? vanced and tarnished by them, re speotively, at a time when it was 11 n v able by its. own resources to maintain its inmates. In a petition from these merobants to the Senate und House of RepjfQQ.entajiiveo for payment, they justly say: * 'These debts were Incurred atsuoh a time and in auoU a manner aa to give them a peculiar claim for recognition and satisfaction. We did not seek to procure fcheoo obligations against the Statoj ; in foot, boing'! mostly business men <jf'? crrinU .meauo, the credit ex? tended buyers has greatly damaged ne, aa we then foresaw would moat proba? bly bo the oa??, and it was not so muoh with' no a question of profit as of humanity. The - treasury was empty, the State oould not support an institu? tion-which had for the better part of a century, exoited admiration for its cha? rity aa well us its effioienoy. We were all suffering from, the same depression of business, whioh bad crippled and disabled the offloer Of the Asylum, but wo were, on the one hand, assured that the, State would certainly pay these debts, and, on the other hand, we were appealed to not lo suffer the noble institution to perish, and thus permit its helpless und suffering in* mates to be cant upon the world. We respouded by supplying food aud money, which we bought or borrowed at our personal risk," Sea. Now we think that case well stated aud abundantly proved. These pa? tient and humane merohauts have a right to ask that their advanoes bo re? paid without any more delay. They might well iusist, further, that no epe oial tax be levied upon them for auy, even the most meritorious purpose, be? fore their outlay in behalf of the State be fully refunded to them. Municipal Taxation. A large number of the citizen a of Augoata, Go., have sent a petition to tbo Legislature of that State, protest? ing against its authorizing the Gity Council to assess taxes as they may think proper. Tbey say that the rapid increase of the bonded debt of the city in the pist few years, demonstrates that the power to levy taxes should not be entrusted to City Councils. All of whioh reminds ua that committees were appointed at a public meeting of citizens of Columbia, some two months ago, to investigate the condition of the oity finanoes, tbo bonds itsned by the Counoil, the modo in whioh the do 00unto were kept, &o. One object was to make headway against the then proposed hisavy oity tux. The Legie Joture, v/o Du.pp?B?, will adjourn before a great while.

Tho Wrong lotht lamne. Dr. Eueor, Superintendent of tbe Lanatio AbjIoui, writes a feeling letter to tbe Sonate, in wbiob, anticipating the neqeasity of discharging a,large, number of tbe inmates of tbe Asylum, be asks for an appropriation' lb defray tbe expenses of sending them to tbeir homes, or the passage of a law which will require thuOouuty Commissioners of tbo several Counties to remove them from tbe institution by tbe lot March 'next. We observe that he plages tbe appropriation to be made for the ABylum at $50,000, and puts the expeuse of euob patient ut $250 each per annum; nud concludes thut only 200 can tbus be maintained, whilo there am there now upwards oi 300 ander bis cure. Wo notice, further, that a motion wus made to appropriate SCO,000, and not $50,000, instead oi $75,000; and if this bo done, according to the figures of Dr. Eusor, 240 patients will be provided for. He says that the sum of $250 eaoh pur annum will support out insane very comfort? ably. It is, surely, not a liberul 6um, but it baa oacurred to us that perbups $200 will suffice to maintain a lunatic, if not "very comfortably," at least in tolerable comfort. Board ought not to coBt more than $15 a mouth?not the butt board, certainly; but such us will support life and make it passable. Xf that ?am ooald be made to do, then the 300 patients would be provided for in a way that would be better than turning-them out, to furo worse. The patients ougbt to be spared that hard necessity. Dr. Ensor regrets that South Carolina is nuable to afford pro? per aid and protection to her insane wards. This is a mistake. Shu is abanduntly able. The only thing needed, is to appreciate the duty pro? perly, to curtail other expenses, to cut off extravagances, and to stop leaks and ntealago. Why ?hall so many hun? dred men receivo from tbe bounty of the State, without adequate uervico in return, sums of money which enable thorn to live in luxury uud splendor? Why shall so many suckers of tha treasnry go undetected, and be allowed to ruo their1 atms into it to tho elbows or tbo pita, while the unhappy and afflicted insane are threatened to be turned out npon the commons, und tbo poor, old, diseased und helpless members, of socioty shiver with oold and hunger, and feel tbe deeper wound of oontumeiy, ncgleotaud scorn? The insane, like tho rest of society, are plundered of their just rights. Tbe Sparianbarg and Aahvlitc llu.ll ruad, TothbEditok opthe Puojnix: Tues? day luet was an eventful duy in Union. Pursuant to a notice from the County Commissioners, calling for a vote upon the question of subscribing $150,000 to tho capital stock of tbi* company, the eitizeua of tbu County in largo numbers repaired to their respective polling precinatH to deposit their b.il-1 lots upon this important inoasuro. It j w ib gratifying to seu the interest and I enthusiasm which the substantial men of ihis town and Couuty displayed in rally in;; to its support. My intercourse with mo peoplo of this oomcnuimy (numbering among tlittm soaio of tho moht refined uud poliuhed families in our State,) muk?s me bold to nay that every intelligent nud thinking muu of them advocated tho subscription, und in this you will ugree when I tell you thut among its wurmest friends uud supporters were Judge Mnnro, Colonel Gage, General Wallace, Colonel B. H. Rioe, Dr. Bawls, Colonel Young, M?j. Stoedman, Mr. J. T. Hill, Mr. B. W. Sband, your editorial brother Stokes and many others of thut stamp. The colored element, under the advioe of Couuty Auditor Mobley, lent their assistance when they learned that it was a question outside of politics. This is perhaps tbe first election in Uniou in which tbo whites and blaoks have voted harmoniously together. Again has another step forward beeu taken by tbe Spartanburg and Asbo villo Railroad, aud its adherents here are jubilant over their success. I oanuot omit to mention tbo con? sideration shown by his Honor Mont? gomery Moses, Judge of the Seventh Circuit, nbw holding Court at this place. By request he exaased several grund jurymen from duty, that they might be present at tbe boxes to which they bad been appointed managers, and fqrther, adjourned Court earyl on Mon? day, notwithstanding a press of busi? ness, that a railroad meeting might ba hcl? ia tho Court House. For thin be his our beat thanks. At this meeting tfie venerable Judge Mdnro and Gen, Wallace made stirring speeches.

Every niomeut of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much depends on the judicious choice of a remedy. The amount ot testimony iu favor ot Dr. Sehenok's Pulmouic Syrup, as a cure for consumption, fill exceeds all that can be brought to support the pretensions of any other mediciue. See Dr. Scheuck's Almanac, contain? ing the certificates of many persons of the highest respectability, who have been restored to health, after beiug pronounced iucuruble by physicians of acknowledged ability. Scheucs'sPul? mouic Syrup alone has cured many, us these evidences will show; hut the cure is ofteu promoted by the employ? ment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for tbe purpose. These additional remedies ure Bohenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mau diake Pills, liy the timely use of these medicines, according to direc? tions, Dr. Schuouk certifies that most any case of consumption may be cured.

The Poniiic Confidence Well Placed.?Although the world baa been seeking specifics for disease for many centuries, few indeed have been found. Prominent among these few in Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, which, years ago, received the endorsement of the I medical profession, and was hailed by I the press and public as tbe great reno vunt and preventive of thouge. And with good reason, since to the weak? ened stomach it gives strength, to the torpid liver activity, to tbe disordered bowels regularity, uud to tbe shakened nervous system firmness and tone. Under its benignant influence health? ful vigor returns to the debilitated und wasted frame, the flaccid muscles become compact, tbo'wan aspect of ill-health is replaced by a look of cheerfulness, tho mind ceases to de? spond, and flesh is developed upon the attenuated frame. There is no exag? geration in this statement. It is as true as that the system is subject to disease. Were proofs required to sub? stantiate the reality of the comprehen? sive effects of the Bitters, there is pro? bably not in existence a medicine in favor of which such a mass of concur? rent testimony, from the most respect? able sources, could be adduced. Bat tbo efficacy of the nation's alterative and invigorant has been a matter of universal knowledge too long to need any saoh oorroborttien. The faot that it hss itslargest sales in those portions of tbe North and South American continents. Mexico and the West Indies, in whioh atmospheric influences prejudicial to health exists, proves what confidence is felt in its remedial and protective virtues. In localities where fevers of an intermittent type prevail especially, it has come to be regarded as an in? dispensable necessity.
