Is the War Over?
From present indications, this will b
the great queHtion to bo determined in
the Presidential oloction'in?le70. It is
the common belief that it is, but thero is
a portion of the Republican party which
practically maintains that it is nut. In
'"'tn'e "extremity to which it has been
brought, in the decay of the public con?
fidence in its ability, integrity and right
~" feeling^ it is industriously spoking to re
vivo issues .which wero thought to be
dead*.' President Grant's Arkansas nies
n*g?, the canons force bill and the Senate
vote to sustain his course in Louisiana,
all po^p-t this., .way. . It is thought that
nothing is so strong to serve aa a vehicle
of power-, an the passions, prejudices and
injustices of the war* period? "The Presi?
dents household organ, the National Re
' publican, is vigorously pressing his scat?
tered, and demoralized foroes into line
foe a Presidential battle on the old sec
tidnal issues. It sees nothing but what
it admires in the remarkable message on
. ? Arkansas a flairs, in whioh Congress was
. . asked to pass legislation to justify him
in subverting existing constitutions in
' half the Southern States. It gives no
?oe that the Republican party in 187G
"must adopt the mousures and the
" "policies which Congress nought to dodge.
And Sh the Now York Herald says, "the
.Republican party in the end must obey
? his orders or disband. The passage Of
the force bill by the House of Represen?
tatives and the desire to pass it which
was displayed by Republican Senators,
and only thwarted by the unflinching
opposition of the Democratic minority,
are proofs enough that the party is at
the President's' feet or at his elbow."
The trimming disavowals of Vico-Presi
dent Wilson, the weak and uncertain
Utterances of Speaker Blaine in Connec
' ticut, are but feeble in comparison with
foe President's determined purpose and
kos power of impressing it on his special
followers. But it is not likely that he
will have so easy a time in impressing it
I on the country. It is tired of this pro
? i trad ted: bitterness, this too long conti?
nued'persecution of Statesand peoples,
this sectional strife kept up for party end,
offl^holding, plunder, and Splendor.
There *is a country to ho recovered to
prosperity and harmony,' thero are great
reforms of the abuses which have grown
up under the shadow of war and under
the domination of greed, selfishness and
ambition to be effected; there is a wise
??'policy to be evolved out of the wreck
and chaos of prostrated interests,
' financial embarrassments and general
depression. This great task, we hope,
'will be achieved in spite of Gen. Grant's
malignant pUrpoaeto defeat it
U?e Of the. Senate Contingent Fund.
A bill appropriating $140,000 for lo
1 gisfctiive expenses, of whioh sum $15,000
was for the contingent fund of tho Se
i bate,, was declared to be law early in tho
last session of tho General Assembly.
Its history was briefly this; . The houRes
failing to agree upon it, it went to a com?
mittee of conference, and then to a free
ponference, and they also disagreeing, it
was construed to have become law
through the operation of the rules of
'' the House. The rules were subsequent?
ly altered so as to declare a bill upon
which so much disagreement existed
not to be, instead of to be, a law. But
the previous usage stood so far as this
particular bill was concerned. The Se?
nate contingent fund was, in this way,
secured. Now that the Senate session,
ljko other mundane things of tho post,
is a memory, it is found to bo not a
fragrant or savory memory. It is bruited
about that the contingent was used to
"put1 tho grocery bills, house rent and
' servant hire of certain Senators. This
is so peculiar, if not original, a use of
the publio funds,;that we confess to a
? desire to know whether the charge can
''? be sustained. There has been no public
denial on the part of those who ought to
know. Their silence can only be con?
strued to mean assent Unwilling to
condemn, however, without positive
; proof, we join our neighbor of the
Union-Herald in asking of Senator Gail
lard, of Charleston, who in Chairman on
Contingent Accounts, to tell us just how
QNLWBR wo? expended. The .people
who pay have the right to know whether
their money is put to private use. And
they have a right to demand of men in
public position to give an account of
how they discharge the trusts confided
to them. Will Senator Gaillard or any
other Senator please tell the country
,? what they know on this ticklish matter?
. The Toronto Leader, referring to tho
recent difficulty between Bismarck and
Belgium, on account of the sympathy of
Belgian priests with the victims of Bis?
marck's policy in Prussia, says: "No

A Veto of the fax Bill Expected.
Governor Chamberlain left for Massa?
chusetts last evening, whither ho goes to
attend the centennial anniversary of the
battle of Lexington. His engagements
have prevented his statement in writing
of the objections he entertains to the tax
bill; but he is open in saying that he
cannot approve it. Regretting very
much if any inconvenience should
thereby result to parties, he will, in a
?h?rt while, an wo understand, give fb
the public his reasons for withholding
his assont to tho bill, By-thc-way, we
don't think there can be much incon
venionee from it to any one. A proper
tax bill enn very easily be passed early
in the next session. There need be but
little delay in the collections from delay
in fixing what the tax shall be. This
last is a matter of vital consequence to
ilis people, it ought to be considered
with every care. What is necessary and
proper they are willing to pay; but they
demand, and have a right to demand,
that it shall bo no higher than that. We
have already, however, sufficiently indi
oated reasons why the present bill should
come to griof. A voto applied to it
brings up the whole question of taxation
for discuss ion and consideration by tho
country aud tor determination by the
General Assembly, at the next session,
under circumstance* favorable to a
satisfactory result. If we havo really
entered upon reform, it will appear dis?
tinctly and prominently in tho shape of
moderate taxes, and in such use of tux
money as will be of advantage to the
public interests. We find no little
satisfaction in commending the antici?
pated action of Governor Oh Amber lain
in this matter.
The Orphan*' Fair.
To TiiK Enn ok ok tuu Phucnix: The
young people connected with the recent
fair given for the benefit of tho Palmetto
Orphans' Home, return manifold and sin
oere thanks to all tho benevolent ladies
and gentlemen?too largo in number to
enumerate individually?who assisted
them so ably and generously in their
work. They desire especially to express
their obligations to the firm of Kingsland
* Heath, Messrs. W. B. Stanley and H.
Solomon, for numerous acts of kindness
and courtesy; and also to express their
grateful acknowledgments to the mem?
bers of the Post Band, who bestowed
their services gratuitously, and whose
beautiful music added greatly to the
pleasure and brilliancy of tho occasion.
Nor would thev fail to testify their high
appreciation of kindness received at the
hands of the Daily Phoxmx and Union
Herald. The success of tho undertaking
has proved far beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the management, and af?
fords them much gratification. And it
will, no doubt, be a pleasing reflection to
all who participated in this delightful
entertainment, that they have assisted in
relieving the wants of those in misfor?
tune and conferred happiness on many
grateful heartH.

Shocking Casualty. The Charleston
Xew.t and Courier gives the following
account of a terrible accident in that
harbor, on the 13th? the wrecking of the
yacht Ella Anna:
Capt ltelyea, who commanded the
Ella Anna, states that the yacht left her
pier at half-past G o'clock, having been
chartered by a party of excursionists for
a fishing excursion to the Housutonic
buoy, off the bar. The party consisted
of Mr. W. V. Sarvis, Mr. Adolph Davis,
Mr. JameB Loahy, Mr. A. W. Adams and
Master John K. Enslow, the youngest
son of Mr. J. A. Enslow, of Huh city.
The crew of the boat consisted of ('apt
Relyea and a young lad named Oilman
Burke, a son of Capt Wm. Burke, a well
known pilot of this city. The day was
fair and pleasant, and, after spending
several hours at the Honsatonic buoy,
the yacht, about 1 o'clock, sailed on her
homeward voyage. By this time the
breeze had freshened and a reef was
taken in the sail. About fifteen minutes
past 2 o'clock, when about 900 yards
from Bowman's jetty, . on Sullivan's
island, the captain put his helm down
and attempted to put his vessel in stays,
in other words, to wear ship. The yacht,
however, refused to obey her helm,
missed her stays, and was brought up in
the wind, at which momenta flaw struck
her. Her gunwales were forced under
by the flaw, and in a few moments she
sunk in fifteen fathoms of water. The
occupants were, of conrse, left strug?
gling in tho sea, and in the confusion
that ensued, four of them wore either
swept out to sea or drowned. The acci?
dent was witnessed by Pilot Boat No. U,
which was at that time standing off Cutn
mins' Point, and Capt. Corker immedi?
ately came to the rescue. Capt ltelyea
and Mr. A. W. Adams were pioked up
and brought to the city. In tho mean?
time, one of tho workers on the grillage,
who had also observed tho accident
shoved off in a yawl boat, which was
anchored to tho beach, and arrived in
time to pick up Mr. Karvis and Mr.
Leahy. The former was insensible when
carried to tho shore, but soon revived.
He Woe too ill, however, to oomo to the
city. Nothing whatever was seen of the
remaining four persons who had been
oeoupants of the yacht, and the supposi?
tion is that they wore either drowned or
swept out to sea.
A letter from a lady in Spartanburg

tained. The shock was felt in Hender?

will remember that by advertisement in
Jhepapcrs and naming show bills, the
OtMBjpg of Madame Renl/.'s tenmle niin
S&Mls and Parisian can-can dancers was
[heralded; and they will remember that
judging them by nn exhibition of a
similar charnctor that had just previously
visited our city, we denounced them as
highly immoral, and counseled the eity
authorities to refuse licences to such
troupes. Well, the troupe eauie, they
were, duly licensed, they attracted a stag
crowd, they performed, and then de?
parted. As we predicted, the exhibition
was unsatisfactory. Those who were at?
tracted with the expectation of seeing
something. depart* d disappointed.
Nevertheless, the intention oil the part
of the troupo to satisfy Ihe audience was
indicated by the tantalizing manner in
which the females manipulated their
scanty apparel, in lace of these facts,
the Unl?ii-lleralil came out next day, and
I spoke in terms of commendation of this
immoral exhibition, and had no eyes to
see wherein it was to be condemned.
We expressed our opinion of the can-can
previous to its appearance, and the fact
that no ludy was to he se n in the
audience is the best evidence of a coin?
cidence of views on the {tart of the citi?
zens, both by those who wore present
and those who w ere absent. And now
comes two entertainments in one evening
Miss Anna Dicinson's lecture on Jean
D'Are and Tim. Morris' minstrels. We
presume the can-cm editor of the I ni<m
Iferald attended both, and, true to his
instincts, lie sees in the minstrels "a
real jolly performance," and regrets his
want of "apace or time t?i make an ex?
tended notice of the performance." lie
also say.n Ma pleasant evening will be
passed by all who visit Parker's Hall this
evening," when "we hope to see it
crowded." A liiiustrc] company which
indulged in questionable antics mid
cracks smutty jokes seems to be his
forte, ami can-can dancers his delight.
Miss Dickinson give* an intellectual en?
tertainment, which is listened to and

and daughter, brother and sister, beau

Extract from Beeeher's cross-examina?
tion: I found Mrs. Tiltoii in bed in the
left-hand room front; 1 informed her of
the charges her husband made against
me; she was dressed in white: 1 do not
know whether she hud retired for the
night; she was ill, und. I suppose, had
retired for the night, being confined to
her bed: I said I had just come from an
interview with her husband, and he had
made serious charges against inc. When
i said he charged me with alienating her
affections from him, she showed respon?
siveness -she shed tears, which fell down
her cheeks, and by the movement of her
hands. 1 also said he charged me with
creating distress and discord in his fa?
mily, and asked her was this so. She
made no response. I said ho told me you
had transferred your wifely affections to
me. She made no response, and the tears
continued falling down her cheeks. When
1 told her of the improper advances and
asked her if she had told him so, and
she bowed her head, I expostulated
with her. and said, yon know this is not
true, i plied her on these charges, and
asked her how she could have done
such a thing? She said, I could not
help it ? 1 was tired out with* his per?
sistence; he importuned and pursued
me. She then spoke of an interview in
July she had with him, when he said,
