It is not surprising that the northern
yressshould fall into many errors in their
discussion of the condition of affairs in
the south, especially iu South Carolina
and Louisiana. A cloud of calumnies,
controversies and errors hangs over the
social chaos and veils from the eve of the
moBt partient observer nil the details of
the scene. Ilcre and there a writer>
catching sight of the ill-defined outliue
?f some portentous evil winch easts a |
Wack shadow over the field, studies it so
feras hecan and, impressed hy its magnitude,
describes it as the main feature
of the picture. Those who best understand
the actual condition of society, and
are best fitted to give a fair account of
k? evils and of their causes, who see both
the good and the evil of both political
parties, and of both races, draw back
from the attempt to do justice to so perplexing
a, question, and leave to
correspondents and- tourists the task of
enlightening the northern public from
the results of their necessarily hasty and
imperfect observations. A common
mistake is to attribute all the evils which
mil riot in South Carolina to what is call
dcarpet bag governments; and place on
the shoulders of carpet baggers the responsibility
for {ill thatis corrupt in public
affairs in all departments of the state.
There are two errors in this generally
accepted view. First it is a mistake to
ascribe to them the control iu any part
of the government, or even anv considerable
influence. They are really insignificant
in numbers, as wc* will presently
how, and those who still remain in office
are doomed soon to be swept away by
the tide of Africanization which seems
destined to take complete possession of
the state. (tf jv,Ugo.< on th?
bench two are can>et baggers; of eight
circuit solicitors, three are carpet baggers;
of one hundred and twenty-four
members of the house, eight; of thirtythree
senators, two; of thirty two
county auditors, three; and of thirtytwo
county treasurers, five. Among the
principal officers of the state, only the
comptroller general and the superinten
dent at education are oi the proscribed
class.
Secondly, it is an error to hold that
their influence, whatever it m ly bo, is
generally or pre-eminently used selfishly
or corruptly. On the contrary, the few
who are found in the legislature, on the
bench and iu the executive departments
are, to say the least for them, the most
respectable element iu a government
which is justly a reproach and a shame,
and an object of contempt and hatred
to the country. If there are degrees in
an infamy which contaminates every
man wBoappruaches its seat and centre,
the carpet bagger must be allowed to be
some shades less black than his associates.
It is not (fortiori fli.-it lirivn

persons who are justly obnoxious to the
aooat emphatic censure which lias been
bo Urtly bestowed upon them, both by j
the southern people and the northern ;
press. It ? not intended to say ouc wort!
to shield any such from merited con- j
detonation. But it is important to all
study of the southern problem to make a
correct diagnosis. Any work for the regeneration
of the south, that is begun i;i
ignorance of facts will be labor to no [ ur
poscv
And finally, from these mistaken vt? wit
results, tlmt the cleu out in the
southern pbpulationr ftroui whose wholesome
influence most of good is to lie |
hoped in any effort to rescue the south
from complete ruin, is pttralys d for effi- 1
orcnt service.- Vor in South Carolina, !
"carpet bagger is a term "whieh, in the j
mouths of all southern uien, and hence !
in all southern newspapers, and in all e>tracts
and correspondence in h- northern
papers, include-every white no.ilnpn re- ;
publican who has c me iuio this stale,
since the war. W e know that sometimes
this is strenuously denied, but the expe- I
rieucc of every man from the north who
has endeavored to establish himself in j
any branch of business in this state since
the war will prove the fact beyond cot troversy.
Exemption from that tenn
of reproach can be purchased now in the
south, ouly at the price which secured
peaceful residence here before the war,
and that is, absolute aeeeptanco of the

Who buys the Forfeited Lands.
The Union-llrrald points out with
great effect that it is a mistake to suppose an
that when the taxes arc so heavy as to ta
compel the owners of land to sell, the *a
poorer eiass can buy. The middle class c':
may buy, but real poor men can't.
When taxes are so high, rtntand provis- ^1
ions arc high, and yet wages are low. It as
hits the poor man loth ways. Every poor 00
man should keep this in mind. That is 00
the reason why, although about 250,000
acres of land have been sold for taxes nc
lately, still the State has bad to ake it S11
all, and the poor man has not been able
to buy a tax title. There is uo getting pr
round that fact. fr<
In this county hundreds of poor col- tij
ored men have been sold out of house w!
and home for non-payment of taxes, and
there will be many more sold out this jia
Kurimr: but we have yet to hear of an cll
'I'** O* - w
instance where any colored man has ! p],
bought a piece of land at these tax sales, tu
unless he was an office holder or a member
of the legislature. In proportion to |,i;
their numbers and the amount of land (U
owned by them, the colored people of Uj
this county have suffered more from the j0
operation of the tax net than their white
fellow tax payers. 0IJ
In the two townships of St. Helena and w]
Beaufort, the fifty per cent penalty for w]
non-return of real estate to the auditor an
has been added upon the property of p<.
over one thousand colored landholders. | w|
It is estimated that the sum of five I t|,,
thousand dollars will be collected out of I sk
these poor people this year, over and I a ,
above what would be collected from the I c],
same number of persons able to inform gr,
themselves of the requirements of the U1(
laws. btc
Those who are so blatant in their al,
appeals to voters to " stand by their own 1
color," have taken little care to instruct tin
them and protect them against, the over J0
assessment of their property and the ep
accumulation of penalties, pp
On several occasions lately, we have frc
called attention to this matter, and we ?o
recently visited the Comptroller Geucr- gp
al's office to see if an abatcnieut could
not be made for these poor ignorant
people. Mr. Alfred Williams has, we
believe, called the attention of our dele- Ti
gation to the facts, and some efforts will
probably be made to rectify what ought to yo
have been prevented. to

illingcr's Artificial Stone?The 3Iost
Perfect iu Use.
It has long been a desideratum to
tain some material for the pavement
sidewalks which would be free from
' defects inherent in all substances
h-rto used. Innumerable have been
; uiicinpta to compass this end, but
none hare met with more than partial
success, until the introduction of "Shillinger's
Artificial Stone " This composition
is bated upon the well known
qualities of P ?tl&od cement, which,
however, have never before been so
completely and satisfactory utilized.
This stone is composed of Portland
cement, sand and gravel, in certain
portions, and cxpei lenee demonstrates
its adoption tot very purpose for which
stone is appropriated, and many wherein
the use of natural .-tone Would he
impracticable.
Si ie walks, which aro to be subject to
the ceaseless tre.ul of hurrying multitudes
iu a great city, aud without the
thorough usage occasioned by the
handling of heavy machines, should
cliarly he pnescsmd of lhe essentials of
streng'h durability and economy.
That tin se pertain in an eminent degree
to the Scbrllttiger Stone is amply
t proven by the result of a series ol
experiments, carefully conducted by
ablest engineers of Euroj>e and America,
including among others of acknowledged
skill Maj. Gen. Q A. Gilmore,
U. S. A. These experiments were
chiefly directed towards the exhibition
of the following qualities iu this artificial
product:
1st. Its tensile strength or ultimate
power of resistance. 2d. Its power tc
withstand compression. 3d. Its increase
in durution. 4th. Its value
compared with other combination. 5th.
The relative cost of modern sidewalks.
The power required to reud asuuder
one square inch of Portland cement,
320 days old, is found to he 1.152
pouuds. The superiority of Portland
cement for a building material, at
compared with bricks, is shown by the
fact, that the former yields only to the
crushing pressure of 120 tous, wbik
Stafford blue brick pulverized at 50
tons, fire clay at 05, and Med way
pressed brick at 4S tons.
Another remarkable property of the
cement is the certainty with which it
hardens; a mixture or equal parts ol
cement and saud. withstand a pctssurr
of 100 pounds to the square Inch at ihe
expiration of one week. 244 pouuds iu
three months, 318 pounds in twelve
months, and 351 pounds in two years,
showing iucrease of duration in twe
years of a fraction of 119 per cent.
The following table showing the rel
alive value of various building materials,
is the result of experiments con
ducted by Alaj. Gen. Gilinore, U.
S. A:

The above conclusively demonstrate
that the Portland cement is the most
powerful, durable, and reliable of all
material used in the construction ol
artificial stone.
In General Gilmorc's treatise on lime,
hydraulic cements, and mortars, we
find valuable testimony to the great
superiority of the Portland above all
other cements. Blocks of each were
moulded-8 inches long by 2 inches
wide and thick under a pressure of 32
pounds to the square inch. These
weie bioken on supports lour inches
apart, the pr? ssnrc Ix ing app it d mid
way between the supports. The blocks
bad been kept in sea-wait r after the
first thirty-four hours and were 320
days old when broken. The weight
requisite to break the Portia ud jmrr,
was 1,5-19 lbs; mixed wiili one equal
part of sand 1,200 pounds; one part
cement and two of sand. 9o0 pounds.
Out of twelve other well known cements.
the nearest approach to the
above is the Cumberland, which required
a breakiug of, respectively, 954,
920 and 554 pounds. The othera were
so far below us to make couiparisoii absurd.
The cost of sidewalks varies not only
with the material, but with the facilities
for obtaining it and the natural
features of the locality where it is to
laid. Precise figures are difficult to
give, but it is safe to say that, all
things being considered, the Schlllinger
Artificial Stone is decidedly the
cheapest material ever employed.
The walks composed of a mixture ol
asphaltum with saud and gravel pre
scut a pleasing appearance at lirst, but
experience shows that changes of temperature
seriously affect them, while
the odor emeualiug from the compound
is often veiy disagreeable; above all,
they fail to bear the wear and tear ol
ordinary trallic. Asphaltum was long
used by i he ship-builders of Glasgow,
aud elsewhere, for lining iron vessels,
but it could not endure tropical heat,
aud Portland cement has lately been
substituted; this is found to answer
perfectly, protecting cargoes u<?t only
from heat, but from rust and bilge-wa
ter.
To illustrate the endurance of' artificial
stone, With this comet)t for its
chief ingredient, we will mention the
pavement of King William's Bridge,
Edinburg; that in the Court-yard ol
the Liverpool Exchange; and ihe platform
and ll mr of the railroad Station
at Ncwcasile. These have been laid
for p> riods ranging from four to fouri
teen years, and. although subject to
heavy usages, have actually improved
with lirue. lu London, Liverpool, mid
other cities of Englaud, it is largely
used for walls and llo??ra of houses,
stable?, &c.; being fouud not only durable
aud economical, but possiug In/(italic
iiro/tciiiat, preventing dampness
by its noh-absorbant quality. In mauy
of these cities of C.miint u'al Europe,
thin material is extensively in roduced,
ami it is destined almost, entirely to
supersede ail oih r material for the
same p up Exanthialiuu of those
wonderful works, built by Ibe lloiuuns
iJ.UO i years ugo, shows cue u?ivily
that the lu iternl us;d was in many
re.-p.cta identical with L'otluid cement,
and they bid fair lo remain
intact while the wo,Id st itids.
To come down to modern days, and
our own city, one has only to exam ne
lite walks recently made at tlie 11 ittery,
around a portion of the City
llali Park, aiiii in other public grounds,
to be coQvimvu lliat tile ae phi.t ii tru
ofs'dewalks lias ' e 11 attained.
Heing laid, 11 >t in I coiuinuou* suec',
but in blocks of any desired f ?rm and
j c dor, great beauty of appearance can
secured be while the introduction ot
material which m ike the joints perfectly
water-tight, insures fro* doin
from ail cht'iio.ation, and enables
blocks to be tak-u up intact and wi ll
equal sa'ety as the natural stone. The
adaptability of this stone to irregu ar
surfaces, its smoothness and freedom
from dust, added to ils sterliug qualities
of strength and endurance, make it
the very best article which human
ingenuity has ever devised for sidewalks
and building purposes generally

wli' ther n.-wsl internally or externally, and it
stands to-day, unrivalled by* all the great catalogue
oi family medicines. It is sufficient evidence ol itvirtues
as a standard meiliciue. to know that it is
f now us* d in all parts of the world aud that its sale is
constantly Increasing. No curative agent has had
* such widespread sale or given such uni vernal talis-'
faction. It is a purely vegetable compound, and
perfectly safe in unskillful hands.
After thirty years trial, is still receiving the most
iiiuiualilhxJ testimonials to its virtues, from persons
of the highest cliaract r and responsibility. I'hyall
eians of the first respectability. recommend it as a
, most elfectual preparation for the extinction of |?ln.
It is not only the la-st remedy ever know n for ttruisesf
Cuts, Hums Ac., but for Dysentery or Cholera, or
any sort of h'lWel complaint, it is a routed)' utisur,
passed for efficiency and rapidity of action. In the
' great cities of India, and other hot climates, it has
t become the standard medicine for all such comiilaints
, as well as for I)ys|>epsia, Liver Complaints, and other
kladreddisorders. For Coughs and Colds, Canker,
I Asthma, and Khcumatic dilliculties, it has been
proved by th<- most abundant ami convincing tcbtiutoiiy

If you think of buying a Bowing Machine it will
pay you to examine the records of those uow in use
and profit by experience. The Wheeler At
Wilson tanili alone as the only Light
Running Machine, using the Hotary
Hook, making a hock Stitch,alike on both
sides of tho fabric sowed. All shuttle machines
watte power in drawing the shuttle back after the
stitch is formed, bringing double wear and strain
upon both machine and operator, hence while other
machines rapidly wear out, tho Wheeler & W11son
lasts a lifetime, and proves an economical
Investment. Dp not believe all that is ^promised by
the "Cheap" machines, you should require proof that
years of use have tested their value. Money once
thrown away cannot bo recovered.
Bend for our circulars. Machines sold on easy
terms, or monthly payment taken. Old machines
put in order or received in exchange.
