Moat of the other ? Counties are represented giving each ex- g penditure for the ycae. Why is our Conn- g ty overlooked! L By a recent act of Congress all lands subject to redemption that are not redeemed by June next, are to be sold by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. We are glad that something is being done iu this ? matter. The next step is to return to the p original owners the money now in the treasury realised froth former sales. # o Track Farming, T A party of Northern Truck Farmers ? have recently arrived with ISO barrels of J* need potntoen, plows, animals and farm t| > fug implements to- start the culture of f< * Irish potatoes and vegetables upon ajargrr p Fcale In the neighborhood of Bluffton.

This ought not to be, and in our opinion can not be hold, either according to the letter or spirit of a liberal charter. Competition is the life of trade and we think the Town Concil should encourage instead of repel enterprize in their midst. Every restriction imposed upon business {* apt to pall collateral bran lies. j The Cnaplain of t!ie South Carolina! Penitentiary gives a flattering re-jort of | the intelligence of his parishioners.

The act to repeal the law designating ffleinl newspapers, passed the second eadir.g in the House, and otir Beaufort tembers had a word to say on the sulvsct, . Mr. BnmpfleldJ moved to strike , ut the enacting words, .because he hought it the duty of the Legislature to aster and encourage Republican nuwsapers. The mete* mention of " Republian aroused the memiiers into opposition. 1 Tom Hamilton denounced the present ystem as a most iniquitous one. Under bis system, said he, the administration light be rotten with corruption, and the apers which were supported by it would eep silence and ttot expose the corruplon. There was an instance of this in Columbia where the papers wetesupportd by the administration. These papers rould paff up the deeds of the officials if hey were as black at hell. So it Was rith moet of .the county Republican tapers. They were all, owned or conroiled by sheriffs, senators and county reasurers, and were kept alive obly by he exorbitant prices they charged for ifflcial advertising. ' Mr. Miller advocated the passage of he bill. He had no confidence in Re ublican newspapers. Just as long as the ystem continued so long would rascality .nd official misconduct continue to be loaked and hidden. As a general thing te noticed that Republican editors were inly Republican editors for bread and >utter. If the Republican pa; ty had not ufficient brains in its own ranks to pubish and uphold a Republican paper that ros fit to read, without having to depend or its existence on ollicial pap, then it light not to have a paper. ?1 r . We are in'ormed that the County treasurer says that the reaain fJie figures pven the County Commissioners and hoes giwn the Comptroller-General don't gree, is because the school tax is counted a the report to the Commissioners. As re wish to give him his due we will jive his statement publicity and we wit! ry and figure some more ss we hoDe to ring bis figures out all right. He says re dsn't know what we are talking about, Ut we think we shall convince him that re are not making statements that are rithoat foundation. He reports to the County Commission-1 rs ae the tax on all property, $28,872.05,1 his is five per ceut on the a^sessmmt for he year 1873, ($6,074,409.87) with the ddition of $107.87 as additional assessment. To the Comptroller-General he eports assessment for County purposes $86,598.64, an excess over that reported j he Commissioners of $8,221.59. He does idt report the amount of fines, licenes, &c. o the Comptroller-General, and so he nnst count it in as original assessment, rhe amount of fines, licenses, Ac., reportd to the Commissioners amounts to 19,187.88 which added to the assessment parted to County Commissioners makes >87,509.48, or an excess over the report o the Comptroller of $915.T9. Now what lias the school tax got to do vith this? It was necessary to report no re to the Commissioners than to the 7omptro'ler-Gener;il as the Treasurer de lucted from his collections to the County Commissioners $1,250 for commissions, nd in his report to the Comptroller le only deducts $500 as commissions. The other figures mu*t make up the difirence some how. MARINK NEWS. Ci.karrd.?Feb. 12. Sclir. A. II. P<**rv. lale?Savannah, Ga., Walker & Scott. Schr. Rebecca Florence, Richards? famau.
