C. REFORM INDEED! On the night of Friday Oct. 9th, last Mass Meeting was held on Bay at. in thi Town addressed by several speakers on of whom was Gen. W. J. Whipper. Thi gentleman supported the nomination c D. H. Chamberlain, and the local pape reported his remaiks as follows; **11 strongly urged the importance of sendin, none but men of undoubted honesty t the Legislature who would second th efforts of the Governor to bring about tha reform promised and needed in the StaU It was in his opinion useless to ex pec reform, as far as the delegation frot Beaufort could affect it, if they sent bad nny of those who composed the delegs lion during the past four years." After th Japee of six months it will he admitte. that Mr. Whipper propht-cied pretty coi rectly, although We are inclined *o doub whether any close observer of the couro of politics in South Carolina since 186 would have anticipated any thing differ cnt. These thoughts occur to as whei we consider the small gathering of citizen ot' the Town on BuluiIiv ??w i?ut . - J - ? -, < wall knot of politicians met ant Burned the delegates to represent us ii the coming convention which is to de cide upon three members of the nex Assembly. So fur as the voice of Beau is concerned then, the men who siucerel] desire reform have only themselves t< blame for not being present at the Arsena on Saturday night and making the attemp at least to secure five delegates to ??ippor proper nominations in the Convention What is the reason now, that those wh< were so anxious lor the success ot Judg< wer is as aurley exercised, as it is surel j to be required before the General Assem Lly adjourns, then Mr. Chamberlain wil receive the merited encomiuns of al good citizens." How the exercise of th? veto power was rendered neceisary by the lack of judgement (to put it mild !y) of the Legislators is as notorious at the admirable use made of it, by t ? Executive, at the right moment and in fitting language. In snslaiuing these vetoes, in making judicious appointment) of officers concerned in the assessment and collection of taxes, and attempting to ke< p the expenditures of the State within i. its receipts, the Governor has not had th? aid which he had every right to expect from meu who were elected on the same ticket with himself, and under pledges o I effecting reforms, which in some instance! they have worse than neglected to re d< em. The names of those voting for th? "bonanza", swindle, shows the different between promise and performance on tb< pert ot theee men, and will enable us t? judge of the correctness of Gen. Whip per forecast ss a political pro gnostics tor. Am Miurnaoa with the County Cnmm Is stoonrs. No. il. It must not be supposed that a colt shoulder or a deaf ear (or any other par of the human frame indicative of con temptuoa neglect) ia always turned tow ards that important coterie of the county l?odj politic, the Road Oveneers. Oz o-rtain stated occasions they make t sweep" (to tiorrow a term from a faacinat hag game) and all the fruits of the seasoi ar?- laid propitiatiagly before them Wh#*n this sacrifice of county funds i to take place, the Road Ovirseers scent i from afar, and throng the commissioner, office, to the no little disgust of the hungry constables, who know what thn gathering meana and are painfuly awan thai nothing will be left uaeonanmec with which to aaiixfy their own insatiabh cravings. Should any R. O. be absent from the marting be is cared for by th< one to whom he oweehis appointment who makes out hia buj for him. swear t' i*ac rr< ctm ss for hfin, and last but no leaxt dnw?

Ilrre the poop c lose several davs from their own ileitis, and listlessly chop grass, scratch the side of a ditch, or throw fascines into tho road bed, and idle away hours that are not only a loss to tlieuia?

R THE HOUNDAltlES of cvtry trrtct of land must l?e given this Office (where the same lias not already been furnished,) so thnt the Auditor may know the exact locality of every piece of land in the County. In making returns grent care must be taken to have them eorrcct, us errors in returna invariably (when n.?t ,discov?-ra- q ble by this Office) get on tho Tax Duplicates ; often proving expensive to tax payers, as well as troublesome to the a Auditor. a Further notice will be given in due time.
