* . / f > ; . - * THE JOURNAL. CAMDEN S. C., JULY 6, 1871. The New Departure*. " The Stone tckich the builder* rejected, is become the head of the corner." It it But a year ago that a Convention assembled in Columbia at the invitation of the Press Conference, to take a "NewDeparture" in the politics of the State, upon the basis of the resolutions of that Conference. The Convention adopted the principles embraced in those resolutions, in. the following language of its own: " First. The^Fifteenth Amendment of the - ^ /? il. Ci-i " UOnBtltUMOn 01 W1C uuiwa ouurn uamug 'been, by the proper authorities, proclaim"ed ratified by the requisite number of " States, and having bee* received and acu quiesoed in as lav, in all the States of the 41 Union, ought t? be fairly administcred%nd u faithftdly obeyed as fundamental lav. 14 Second. The vast changes in our system "of government, wrought by the interna" tional war between the two sections of the " States and following in its train, are so far " incorporated into the constitutions and "laws of the States, and of the United States, "as to require that they be regarded as ac" oomplished facte, having the force and obligation of law." This step, taken by a Convention of the people of old South Carolina, was justified in the Address of their Executive Commit* tee by the following argument: The infamous character of the goverment of South Carolina was attributable to the unhappy antagonism, of the races, produced by "cir" cumstances and the machinations of self"ish and oorrupt political adventurers," whereby was arrayed practically, " the whole ^ " of the one race in political hostility to the "whole of the other race." One race owning all the lands,' the other furnishing aH the labor and controllings absolutely, the power of the government: 4 subjection of capital to labor, necessarily producing ruin and disaster, and tending to bloody conflict. It was shown that there was .no hope of abolishing universal suffrage, and that the attempt, under the most favorable circumstances, would Kght the fires of a civil war "fierce, bitter, bloody and disastrous."? The only alternative was the adoption of a polity which would abate the sharp antago""J <'oboW? tho otwf TWrtnlo UIBU1 VI I awO| uuu vuuuav vuw gww of both to Combine for the purpose of good government" The question resolved itself thus: Should they oontinue to endure the infamous government imposed upon them, enjoying the poor privilege of protesting against its legality, or strive for a better government to be obtained, as they supposed, - by yielding that privilege 7 Of course, unless reason were dethroned, it was impossible that men of intelligence who really desired the good of the State oould hesitate to give their adhesion to a party which promised the hope of relief at the expense only of that which had become a mere abstract sentiment. It is true some pharisaical and dictatorial Democrats exhausted their fierce rhetoric in denouncing the movement and its leaders, but these were sustained by the suffrages of the patriotic, practical and honest people of the State, with a unanimity never commanded by any other movement, that of secession not exoepted. This platform is now commending itself to the great Democratic Party of the ooun try, and promises to be the foundation stone of their platform in the next canvass?the mtage ground from which to fight the battle of freedom? If any thing were needed to Remonstrate the wisdom and patriotism of the people of South Carolina who inaugurated and sustained this movement last year, it is this action of the Dnmocrats of the North under the lead of their best and brarest champion, the lamented Vallandigham. The Reform party failed of success by rsaaon of the stupidity, ignorance and prejudice of the great mass of the voters, which rendered them ready victims to lying and malignant demagogues. The Democracy have tfcn advantage of addressing their arguments to the consideration of the great American paople, too intelligent and too honest to be j aeduoed to their own ruin by the cunning arta of political tricksters. FOR THE JOURNAL. * Mr Editor: I-see an article in your last 1 week's issue, calling upon the. good people , of Camden to unite against that hydra, In- \ Tt. in n mnnf-. fimnlw nail Wall i night the writer appeal to parents, philanthropists, patriots and christians. There is ao particular form of evil practised among us SO common, and so destructive, to the peace, ' happiness ssd well-being of society, as the tatttder consideration- Indeed, it is often As proximate cause of every evil A course of inebriation may prepare a man for almost say crime, and often impel* him to commit 1 many crimes aa~a necessary consequence of , the perversion and abuse of his noble power*. Its destructive power extends to body, nrind and soul. The human form so / j i ?\.n_ j. ji . XBRTiuuy suu wimuuriuiiy uuuie, is disfigured?bloated?and the fetid breath of the inebriate indicates the rottenness that : is consuming health, and even life itself.? The reason is dethroned, and the will, enchained by erne! fetters, is compelled to 1 serve a tyrant, the end of whose rule is de- , structioa. The God-like powers of the sonl ' are drowned in the fiery flood, and the* ' wretched victim is so imbruted that he becomes the loathsome caricature of a human 1 being. Whe ean look upon a sot without a j( * : vV / * --''I;* . * ' S^assssesssssssssssssssass^ssssasss mingled feeling of pity and disgust? The debased victim in his lucid moments abhors himself, and plunges deeper into the lethal tide to destroy his better nature, whose faith: fill admonitions appear to him in his hopeless state as cruel mockings. This is an extreme case, but it is the inevitable end to which every tippler is tend- j ing, for the experience of eeoturies shows that none are safe from its circean charms but those who ffee from it. To tamper with it is to imperil all that we hold dear in this life-ancf in the life to come. It docs not let one easily return to sobriety, Health and happiness, whom it has enchained. The influence of this insidious tyrant pervades all classes of society?the high,* the low, the learned and unlearned : from the President, who wields the destinies of (he nation, down through all grades, to the humblest individual who claims the right of citizenship. It is not content with men, who are made df sterner stuff, but even tfic sweet and gentle maiden is enthralled,and debased by it. But the poor victim does not suffer alone. This were bad enough;, but every member of society shares in the evil, from the heart-broken mother who bore him?the loving wife who trusted to him all that makes up life, to the?stranger who is shocked and jostled by him on the street or high-way.? It is an evil that reaches down to generations yet to come, and extends throughout the cycles of eternity. Knowing the dreadful evil, let one and all rally to the battle cry of "A Member of the Old Wateree Division," thdfc we may hurl " King Alcohol" from his throne in our midst. CCMMILITQ. OUR TAXES WHAT A NORTHERN MAN THINKS OF" TIXEM. Mr. Copeland, tho correspondent of the New York Journal of CWwnerce, writing from Columbia, under date of the- 17th uit., Bayer? " X have examined into the state of taxation and discovered the reason why there has been so much grumbling about the rate.? The fact is there has" been a surprisingly large amount of corruption, both in the levy ana collection of the taxes. I was shown by one of your subscribers who has been in bur siness-here and in Charleston for many years, a tax receipt in which the tax was legitimately in accordance with the levy. $28.50. Tho extras added swelled the amount to $41. He protested, and the tax collector struck off the extras. This was on a small piece of property. He says he has seen bills calling for 40 and 50 cents, upon which the extras amounted to $2.25 and $2.50. These little collections are generally made from the negroes and poor whites, who do not know any better than to pay tbem, but the tax-gatherers are learning better than to affix perquisites to bills rendered to intelligent meu, because their game is beginning to be understood. As I said above,, the citizens of South Carolina have always been aristocratic. Their aristocracy was of the landed-order, and to encourage the ownership of lands in large bodies the State did not tax them. The taxes on negroes, on buildings, on merchants and professions, paid the debts of the State. When the war ended the negroes were free, the buildings burnt down, and nothing was left to tax but lands, and even they were worth much less than before the war, for the reason that they were over grown with shrubbery, canc &c., during Sirs when their cultivation was neglected e accounted average assessment value of all lands in South Carolina before the war was fifty eight cents per acre. Now they are assessed and taxes collected at the average valae of five dollars per acre. Many personr who had no money when the war ended had their domains sold for taxes. When the fact is considered that only one tenth to one-fourth of each land owner's possessions is cultivated, (which however, is a greater average than was worked before the war,) it is not wonderful that there should be considerable reluctance or grumbling when the planters are called upon to pay taxes on the whole amount of land owned at a rate of assessment frequently beyond the market valuS. The result is that a good portion of many of the large estates is offer- < ed for sale. South Carolina has not been developed to an extent that causes all her citizens to feel comfortable, or they would not part witn any portion or tneir estates.? Still they are doing remarkably well under the circumstances. Every man stands bravoly up to the responsibility of the State debt, without regard to the outrageous additions to it, and not one of them would lower his pride to breathe a whisper of repudiation in any form. The taxes levied for this year are seven mills on the dollar of assessed values, and the estimated total collections at that rate will be $1,200,000. Of this $600,000 for the support of the State government. I would advise gentlemen who are interested in the financial affairs of South Carolina to preserve these statements, as they are well authenticated and trustworthy. How Dr. Parker Made His Premium Corn Crop, is the leading article of the July number of that very excellent agricultural magazine, The Rural Carolinian. This article, in its practical value to the corn raiser (and what farmer does not raise corn) is worth many times the value of the year's subscription to the magazine. It is not theorv. w ? 7 it is not -"I tell yon bo/' but it is the actual result of careful experiment, close attention to correct principles and practical energy. In the feet paragraph of the article, Dr. Parker Bays "acting from the suggestion derived from hooks on agriculture, &c." . The man who produced one of the largest known fields of corn then learns something from books. This is quite a commentary upon (^unfortunately) the many who believe book farming is theoretical. Let them read the article and they v^ill say that it is eminently practical.^ -* _ * i Thx Rural Carolinian is pre-eminently in agricultural magazine which teaches prac;ioal trutbe; therefore it is the magazine ^ ^ - , - which should be in the' the hands of evefy farmer who expects to increase his learning and skill by the experience of others. Trust to Luck.?It is one of the inherent characteristics of our human nature to "trust to luck." There is scarcely an enterprise in, life5 in which Chanoe does not play the most important part. And it is on this principle that 2,404 people, the lucky holders of tickets in the great drowning of theSouth Carolina Land and Immigration Agency of Messrs. Butler, Chad wick & Gary, will bo made supremely happy as the recipients of prizes, ranging in value from ten to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The plan is taking like wildfire wherever it has been-published, and agents are reaping injr handsome profits from the sale of tickets. That which secures its success, however, is the distinguished character of the gentlemen by whom it is controlled, and the certainty that the drawing will be conducted with honesty and impartiality. Death of Dr. William Reynolds.? We regret to announce the death on yesterday, of this esteemed citizen. Dr. Reynolds, although born in Ireland*, was for about forty-two years a resident of this country. He first settled in the town of Camden, where he practiced medicine. About the year 1840 he moved to this city, and here he had, up to the time of the sickness preceding his death, pursued the profession of dentistry. Had he lived until the 16th of July, he would have completed his sixty-fifth year. Dr. Reynolds was greatly respected and esteemed in this community, and had friends throughout the State. Many there will be to receive with sad interest the intelligence of his death. We have known the deceased long?long enough to appreciate his. strong,' hold, honest, indenendent finalities. As a citizen, he was patriotic and true; as a man? ho was full of kindly impulses, and" in. all of life's varied relations he was high-toned and loyal. When such as Dr. Reynolds dies we feel that the community has lost a useful and valued member. To liis adopted State Dr. Reynolds.cherished a deep attachment, and the interest that he always took in the church with which he was associated shows the high appreciation which he entertained of man's first and most essential duty. He was .born in Armagh, County Antrim, in 1807.?Columbia Phoenix. It is announced that the seventeen-year locust have made their appearance in various parts of the country, and great apprehensions have been expressed that tlvey would work serious injury upon the growing crops. There are several misapprehensions in vogue in regard to the seventeen-year locust. In the first place, the insect known by that nam& is not a locust at all, and is no more like the Aaatio locust, which is so destructive to vegetation, than ? humming bird is like a flying fish. It cannot devour grain or other vegetable growths, for the excellent reasons that it has no iaws to devour with. rIt liv& only twa.or_thxoQ_jsrooka, and duyin&. ids brief life takes all the nutriment it requires, which is very little, by suction. But it often appears in great numbers, and renders a large extent of territory alive and vocal with its murmuring, humming noise, and frequently causes the atmosphere to hecome very offensive by the smell arising from the accumulation of its dead. The insects have a sting, called the ovipositor, which is about half or three-quarters of an ineff in length, and with this they will perforate the limbs of trees, depositing eggs in the cavities thus made. The limbs chosen for this purpose are generalty young and green, and from the plaoe of deposit to their end they usually become yellow and dry. This leads to. the belief that great mischief has been done, when in fact there is little or no real harm. The seven teen-year locust, so-called, : ^ *~:i. T l is uul uu agreeauie visiwr, is uut uuuiparutively a harmless one. Young fruit nurseries suffer more than anything else from Its visita& tiona. Andrew Jackson Donelson.?The telegraph has*already announced the death, in Memphis, of Andrew Jackson Donelson, the adopted son of Andrew Jackson. He was a man of decided personal worth, and" of more than ordinary attainments as well as of ability, ihough not by any means a great man. Ho would, perhaps, never have become known to fame but for his connection with the hero of New Orleans. As it was he figured but to a limited extent in public affairs, though he had held several positions of importance under the Government. Ho was Charge d'Affairs to the Republic of Texas in 1844, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenepotentiary to Prussia in 1846, and to the Federal Government of Germany in 1848. In 1856, he was on the ticket with Mr. Filmore as the candidate of the American party for Vice-President of the United States, for which office he received the electoral vote of the State of Maryland?eight in number?since which time ho has not figured in public life. The sub committee of investigation now sitting here, suddenly decided to send three of their number to North and South Carlina, although there is no reason for going there than to others parts of the South, which have been misrepresented in the some way. This movement was instigated by Mr. Pool ftC MnrfVi Porntina and ft*-Governor Holden. who may be regarded as the two men of ali others, who have been most active in vilifying the character of the State, whose good name they dishonor as natives, and most vindicative in proseonting their political opponents. In fact, the committee has, in the conduct of this investigation, been little else than the instrument of personal malice and Eartisan vengeance. Pool and Holden were oth violent Confederates, and the latter, through his paper, was one of the most blatant advocates of secession for twenty years. He adhered to it during the war, until success of the Union army began to be certain, and then, with Pool and other traders, ho turned his coat and they shouted as loudly for tho Union as they had done in its denunciation. As soon as President Lincoln's proclamation appeared, Pool wrote to his agent ordering all his negroes to be sold.? That precious document still exists as a proof of his affection for a race , which he ntfw courta"with the lowest arts t>f disgusting flattery. We advise our friends, in North and South Carolina, to be prepared for the coming of 4C- '***" "" '&? *" * * % ' ' , v ; Vr I 1 , .' . , - ' this committee, consisting of Senator Scott, i Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Van Tram. They! wilL leave Washington to-morrow evening, and have doubtless prepared, through the connivance of Pool, Holden, and men of the same stripe, a class of ready-made witnesses, suoh as have been produced here. Let them be met everywhere by the best citizens, and with a calm, but decided instance upon the fairest and fullest investigation. Washington Patriot, June 29th. Tat Jews in Rou mania?Some Account of their Persecutions.?By a private letter recently received from Mr. Pcixgtto, United States Consul at Bucharest, we have Borne interesting information respecting the state of the Israelites in Roumania Mr.. Peixotto, on his way to Hamburg to meet his f wNvinrh MnUntrio o'n^1 vis. I iUUil Jjr J VA?*VV I1VU VUIVU^U A'A VAVAW T AM ??U. ? UT" ted the chief places in the Principalities, where, daring the past five years, the excesses have been committed which have evoked the execration- and sympathy of the world. He stopped'at Ibrailar Tekutch, Galatz, Bar cau, Berlad, Botischany, Jassy and other towns. He will thus have enjoyed the most favorable opportunity for investigating the actual condition of the Israelites in Roumania. Some idea of the wrongs under which the Israelites labor in Roumania may be gleaned from the fact that in Tekutch, where dwell only thirty Jewish families, the extent of official and public robberies inflicted on them was to the amount of thirteen thousand ducats. At Bacau there was a conference of Israelites to welcome Mr. Peixotto, and a number of them above average intelligence and ability, plead their cause most eloquently. The Hebrews constitute one-fifth of the population (25,000 of this town. Their persecutions have been insufferable, although now of a moro petty oharacter than formerly, yet they are continually robbed in one way and another. They received Mr. Peixotto very cordially and hailed his coming as.unoonanirmalu f.nA ASttlRA nf t.kAir hoin<y onnro'l an annual popularoutbreak. "A heart of stone would have been moved by their relation of wrongs suffered." They said that they felt new life now. We learn from other sources that the pre. seDce of Mr. Peixotto at Bucharest has occasioned great joy among the Israelites of the Principalities and the bordering States. They attach extraordinary consequence to I what they deem the influence of our eonn! try exerted in their ^ehalf. The Hungarian papers are in particular overjoyed at the improved prospect of equal rights for our Roumanian brethren. Jewish Messenger. A Meaji Rascal?On Charlotte sfc. above Canal .resides a woman who, on Saturday last, had a very sick child. On that day% German, who gave his name as Fugas, went to the house and represented that he was a doctor, and that he cured by "nervous sympathy." He gave the child some medicine, and then asked the woman for a two dollar bill. He put some medicine on the bill and then handed it back to her. After doing this he left, promising to return in half an hour. When he came back he asketi numerous questions, and finally desiTed to know :f she had any money in th<fhousc. -She stated that she had forty dollars. He told her to get it, which she did. He then sprinkledthe money with some medicine, and told her to go up stairs and sprinkle some medicine on the child. She aid-so, and when she returned, both Fagas and the money had disappeared. The accused was arrested fln Sunday and was committed by. Alderman Riddle in default of $10,000 baft. Phil. Inquirer,-June 20. The Girls of Japan at School.? Throughout Japan it is the universal custom for. ygung ladies, when they arrive at the age of fourteen or fifteen, to be placed in what is appropriately called a finishing establishment. This establishment has the following among other peculiarities,"vis: All (he masters pay for the privilege of teaching, instead of (as is the case with us) being paid for their lessons. This makes the instruc tion a labor of love. Then again, to a certain extent, a Japanese young lady is allowed considerable freedom as to the selection of her instructorsshe generally prefers the best looking. The soholars do not sit-in a close pent up room, 'filled with girls bolt upright, eaoh perched on an educational stool, but in a> delightful garden fragrant with tea flowers, surrpunded by a number of little summer houses embowered in the midst of the most charming vegetable products Here are the bright-eyed damsels, with cheeks pink as the roses, moving around with graceful step, each bearing a small lacquer tray with tea and cakes. In each of these summer-housSs there is a master or professor, either waiting the return of one of the refreshment-bearing damsels, or else sitting by the side of one who has already conffe back. Japanese girls remain in educational seminaries of this kind until marriage, and they make excellent wives. * TVc are not especially partial to the carpet-bagger Bowen, who doubtless deserves indefinite confinement at hard labor, but it Really does seem hard that a Radical politician should be punished for nothing worse than bigamy. It is setting a dangerous precedent by which every Radical office from Maine to Texas is liable to be made vacant when justice olaims her dues. MARRIED?On the 21st ult., Rev. A.
