make some comments upon the person*
drawn and the manner of drawing, which
are not iritonded' in the apiritof captiousncss,
but as a means of calling the attention
of the Board of Jurp' Commissioners to cer
tain facts^^hich they have apparently over

in which.they are all.more or less directly

this list the names shall be written of eac!

To us,'the-proper way would be, it seert?

that the whites should be almost entirely ex

In rigtfd to this present array of jurors wi
have ficard complaints njade by two pronii

. T HE L1KN LAW
has been repealed by the Senate, w'd the bil
sent to the House, where it will not encoun

EXTENSION TO TAX-PAYERS.

granted. A joint resolution was offered bt
Senator Uunn, giving tax-payers to Marcf
15, but objection was made and the resolu
tiun went over. Aftorwarcb^ the Senatt
Committee on Finance reported a bill iutro
duced and : pigeon-holed six weeks ago,
which authorized the Comptroller-General
with the consent of the Governor, to give
such extension as he might deem necessary
This bill canrw have its three readings and
b? -<igned by the Governor until after to day
HSth.^when the penalty attaches. Our peo.
pie cannot po-sibly pay their taxes by to-dav,
for in our County, the Treasurer is allowed
to use only oue receipt book at a time, aud
-IL^PWJ.JU ? 1 consequently
can not fill out uibre than a hun'dred^iitjd
fifty per diem. It'will require
at least one month hard work to collect the
.tax in this County, and if the attempt is
: made to ^ollect the penalty for non-payment,
'make a case, carry it before the Courts, and
see if 20 per rent penalty can be extorted
from thei/j because of their inability to pay,
. .owing to the* short time,, five, days, allowed
for the collection. No justice is in such a

question, even when ample time is given
for the.payment of the tax prior to affixing
the penalty, and much more doubtful does
it.become, when only five days are allowed
for* five thousand people tb pay their taxes in.
TRIAL JUSTICES.
Under the new apportionment Kershaw
County is entitled to nine Trial Justices.
Mr. C. Shiver has recently received the appointment
of Trial Justice. Now is the time
.for several more candidates for this honorable
and d'stihguished position to make application.
J ndge Sutherland and J. T.TruesI
del have been continued in office. But alas!
if Mr. WhittctnoreVbill, which we notice
below, passes and bobomes a law,, the Trial
Justices are apt to have a very hard time
and uopay. Besides, to carry out the provisions.of
the bill, will bring great odium
' upon them. Ilearkcn td Mr. Whittcmore's
bill.concerning ^
THE POLL TAX.
. ^ provides that if the poll tax is not paid
.> within the timo presoribed by law, a penalty
iof two dollars shall be added to each, ma''
Icing it three dollars altogether, besides nia^
king failure to pay a misdemeanor and pun.
ishable with thirty days in County jails.?
f Lists of .delinquents are to be made out and
6 given to the various Trial Justices, who shall
proceed to " warrant" .the offenders, and
s j. ? *' *
' jail ' them if they do not pay up. For this
V service they are to receive no pay, but the
Sheriff or other officers serving the wan-ant
is to receive one dollar, payable by d^fendent,
e in each case. What'a blessed thing it will
^ be to keep the Trial Justices busy collecting
poll tax! And how much more satisfactory
s to those who tfo pay, to see those who receive
the beneht of their labors, made to fork up.
' The Senator from pTrlington is on the
1 right track.

The enacting clause of the bill to abolish
x w
^ the office of County Auditor and devolving

stricken out on Saturday last.
There are tjvo maov office seekers., in the
party, to have made this bill a popular one

a WASHINOTQfr, January 11,1873.
Although tRero is a great deal of work

was to last six months; night sessions how>t

.. . ?' \ THE MAIl?TE6
have laid siege to Congress, and purpose ma'
king the prohibition of liquor-selling a Na
r tioual question. In pursuance of this idea,
n the introduction of a bill by Senator. WiJson
( providing for a special commjssion to in.
vestigatc and report upon the subject of restraining
intemperance by legislative enactd
uient was the first step in'the programme.
Sumptuary laws have ever been obnoxious,
r in this country. Even in tho land of l,steae
dy habits." the Maine law has proven a failure,
and although wc may ever so much deplore
th^ ovils of intemperance, wc will hardly
be'able to regulate the appetites or morals
of the community by statute. If the proper
f authorities will see that none but pure liquors,
vinous or malt, ii sold, that coming
L clearly within the provin'ce of legislation, a
3 a long step towards eradicating the evil re
suits of tippling will have been taken, and
9 temperance be made easy; but the fiery
j draughts of jwison which we imbibe with
each glass, whether it be champagne or lager
beer, creates a thirst for more, and ihe result
e is, we aroa nation of hard drinkers. Sena
tor Wilson is a safe and proper advocate of
. this reform.. He cannot damage himself politically.
as he has reached the highest goal
of his ambition?the Vice Presidency?and
B he has been a life temperance man in pref
cept and practice, so because ''Old Heelt
taps" has no mouth for the sperrits, we shall
have no more cakes and die
L> CHEAP PE.WAGOGCERY.
The military capet-bag Senator from Mis"
sif-bippi?Auies?feeling it incumbent on
c hiui to get his name before the public, hit
a happy thought and put it in the shape of
a bill to ro-orgauize the army,- which pro
vides in" effect; that negroes will havo the
game opportunities for promotion in the thir"
ty-six white regiments as they now. have in
0 the four negro regiments. Ames was a
regular army, officer before he made himself
Senator, and will no doubt receive the hearty
thanks of his former comrades for this
mark of his regard for tbem. Well, he
1 don't care much for the army, they arc not
. making Senators iu Mississippi just now, and
r the uegroea are, and that is just the difference.
Although this bill is the logical se?
qucnce of Radical teachings and practice, we
' shall 6nd considerable opposition to it from
t those who mouth most of the "man and
brother."

CREDIT MOBILIER.
The-proceedings in the Credit Mobiler investigation
for the coming week are expected
to be very interesting. Judge Jere Black
as counsel for McComb, is determined to
.have the stock better, stock certificate book,
and stock ledger of tho concern brought before
the committee, and when this is done
McComb has an avalanche of testimony that
will completely overwhelm Ames and Alley
and soil hitherto, unblemished reputations
both in and out cf Congress.

BRIBERY IN KANSAS.
The examination of Hon. Sydney Clark
before the Committee investigating tho
charges of bribery against Sonator'Caldwell,
of Kansas, disclosed a nice condition of affairs
in the politics of that State.
Clark stated that Caldwell told him that his
election cost him 175.000 in money and the
Kansas Pacific Rail Road promised to pay
part of the expenses which they have failed
to do, but he (Caldwell) purposed squeezing
it out or them when thoy came to Washington
asking for Leglislation. Clarke told Cald
well in answer to his question ''that ho w^s
a very unreliable and dishonorable man."
His investigation will show up how Senators
are made aud Legislatures -bought.

the British Colonies, Spanish America and Bra

of the various ailments to which the human system
is subject, and sets forth the peculiar prop- .
crties of Hostetter's Stomach flitters?the pu- I

health and strength, and as a remedy for debility
and disease. The Almanac is printed in all
the principal languages of the civilized world>

issued from the press. No man or woman who
has due regard for that choicest of heaven'&blessings,
bodily vigor, should fail to read the plain,
simple and convincing articles which this truly
practical publication contains.* The miscellaneous
matter is varied, instructive and amusing,
and the calendar department copious and comprehensive.
