THE JOURNAL. I JOHN KER SHAW, Editor nn?l Proprietor. CAMDEN, S. C. FEBRUARY 27, 187& The Poll Tax. Our readers will remember that some weeks since we published the text of Mr. Whitteuiore's bill to enforce the payment of the poll tax. The bill made it a misdemeanor, punishable with tine and imprisonment for a person to fail or refuse to pay the poll tax. We do not know the exact shapo in which the bill passed, but if it is similar in its provisions to the one introduced, it becomes a matter of grave importance that the information be made public. As'soon as we are able to obtain a copy of the bill as it passed, a will dftihli&li it entire for the benefit of those w^ora it may concern. Hithftrto the poll tax has been uncollectible by any process of law, and many per * sons availed themselves of that fact to avoid it* payment. Now, however, it will be otherwise ? i , The Doable Poitaie Exaetio* Abandoned. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Journal of Commerce says: The Postmaster-General having submitted to the Attorney-General the question, "Should letters not fully prepaid be charged at the office of delivery with double the deficient postago or only with tho balance not prepaid," the Attorney-General has, after a full consideration of the different sections of the "Act to revise, consolidate and amend the statutes relating to the Postoffice Department," given his opinion that letters not fully prepaid at the time of mailing should nii.Krwi with double deficient postage, UWK VV T - - 4 w , but only with the actual balance not prepaid. Immediately upon the receipt of the opinion, the Postmaster-General gave directions that the Postoffice Department should conform therewith. Oar Attorney General. We see by our Columbia exchanges that Attorney-General Melton is about to open ire on some of the " fatted calves." Judge Melton has fine abilities, and if he sees fit to use them in the right way, he will gaiu the lasting esteem and gratitude of those of our people who love right and justice, and he seems to be beginning in the right way. We copy a part of the procedings with a brief summary of the facts, so that our readers may see what is going on : Mandamus.?The case of R. C. Shiver, petitioner, for a mandamus against theStato Treasurer, to compel him to pay a warrant issued by the ex-Comtroller General to the A Superintendent of t ho penitentiary fur the ? niT in iiiM n ii. mil in mm Jungr R. B. Carpenter, sitting in chambers. It is an interesting one, and promises to develope some new principles of law not yet generally recognised. Some time since we gave the statement in reference to these warrants, and repeat the same here for the benefit of those who may hare forgotten the facts in the case. Last summer the Controller General issued twelve warrants at one time of $5000 each. Six of these warrants were paid by the Treasurer. The remaining six were deposited as i collaterals with Governor Scott for $15,000, ; 1 eas ninety days interest at one and one-half i per cent, a month. ' Besides these colltternls < General Stolbrand gave his individual note, i Governor Scott refusing to take his note as Superintendent. As soon as General Strol- i brand obtained any money of the Treasurer, this winter he tendered the $15,000, and demanded his note and the collaterals. Governor Scott said the note was paid by Mr. Baldwin, he having received three of ll? i- nma anil f?OVAmnr U19 WSiiiuaio ivi vuv d?uiwj Scott refused to give np the remaining three, amounting to $15,000, claiming that they had passed out of his possession. One of these warrants has turned up in the pomesMonof Mr. R. C. Shiver, and he brings a suit of mandamus against the Treasurer to compel payment, General Stolbrand having stopped the payment of the three warrants last named at the treasury. < At the hearing Attorney General Melton appeared for State Treasurer Cardoso. The irst point he made was to tho law in reference to the payment of appropriations, that wutnav ralWtml this vear could not be naid i "IB-LT??VJ v"? "* / ~~ * J out on old account?. His further remarks, as reported in the Keening Herald, were as follows: The Attorney General took occasion to say that in every instance whero the State Treasurer or county treasurers have, in violalion of tho provisions of the constitution, diverted funds in their bands from the purposes for which*they were levied.Jhe^ should hold ihem responsible under their official bonds and make them answerable beforo fhe courts, both civil and criminal. But even if the treasury were in funds to meet this warrant, the Attorney General argued with great earnestness that the warrant can only be paid at tho counter of the treasury upon the presentation of it by tbc superintendent himself, or his authorised agent; that when the warrant is issued, for instance, to pay the salary of an officer it beoomes the property of the officer, and be may possibly disposo of it on the market; but when a warrant is issue J to a public officer authorising bint to draw money from the treasury to expend for public purposes, .he acquires no ownership or property in the paper; he has merely the posssssion of it for the purpose designed, and can neither sell, negotiate, pledge nor dispose of it in any other manner whatsoever. It is, in no event, a commercial paper. It is neither negotiable nor assignable, and becomes unavailable and worthless whenever it goes from the hands of the officer who alone is authorised to use it. It is a mere certificate j ?a naked memorandum?without, in itself, any energy, except to nutherize the treasurer to pay it, and that only to the officer whose appointed duty it is to receive and expend it. It is a paper affecting funds held in trust for the State, and isgiveu to the officer in trust, and whenever he parts with it in any other way than that which the law contemplates, he is guilty of a breach of trust, a technical embezzlement of the public property, which only wants, perhaps, the element of fraudulent intent to constitute it one of the highest crimes known to the law. WaNhington'ft Birthday. This event was celebrated with great eclat and demonstrations of delight, in Charleston. The white "melish," beg pardon, - * * 1. J ii 1 tbe "rifle ciuds, paraaen turuugu tuu pmcipal throughfares and listened to one of those old tinio, long and eulogistic, though tasteful and eloquent harangues, such as used to befindulged in on Fourth of July celebrations. The Hon. W. D. Porter was the orator of the occasion, and the speech was delivered in the Academy of Music, which was crowded from pit to dome.-rAmong the honorary members of the Washington Light Infantry seated on the stage, we notice the name of their "perpetual Secretary," our worthy citizen, Donald McQueen. IN CAMDKN the celebration was confined to the trimming of some choice peach trees in a gentleman's orchard hr three of his sons, who had heard their immediate paternal ancestor narrate the anecdote of the "Father of his Country" doing his duty to hit father's cherry tree, with his little hatchet, the only difference being that the boys unfolded a narrative in which they made ingenious use of circumstantial evidence which did not strictly conform to the facts of the case, and were therefor ignom iniously thrashed by their hardhearted father. . Apart from this, unless the fact had been otherwise known, no one would have supposed that Washington or any other man had first "seen light" on that day. . The Seven Wonder* of the World. As many of our readers use this expression or have heard it, we reproduce here au enumeration of the seven wonders, knowing that they are new to many of them. The seven wonders of the world arc among the traditions of childhood, and yet it is a remarkable .fact that 99 persons out of 100 who might be asked the question could not name them They are the pyramids?the mystery of the past?the enigma of the present ?and the enduring for the future ages of this world. The temple, the walls and hanging gardens of Babylon, the most celebrated city of Assyria, and the residence of the king of that country after the destruction of Nineveh. The Chryselephantine statue of Jupiter Olympus, the most renowned work of Phidias, the illustrious artist of Greece. The statue was formed of gold, and was sittipg nn a thrniiA -? ?-*-o of the temple, which was 70 feet high. The Temple of Diana at Ephesus, which was 220 years in building, and which was 425 feet in length and 220 feet in breadth, and supported by 117 marble columns of the Ionic ? * e mi it 1 4 order, sixty leet nign. ine inausoieumn ai Halicarnassus, erected to the memory of Mausolus, the King of the Caria, by his wife Artemesia, B. C. 353. The Pharos at Alexandria, a lighthouse erected by Ptolemy Soter at the entrance of tho harbor of Alexandria. It was 450 feet high, and could be seen at a distance of 100 miles, and upon which is Inscribed " King Ptolemy, to the gods, the saviours, for the benefit of sailors." Lastly, the Colossus at Rhodes, a brazen image of Apollo, 105 Grecian feet in height, and whioh was located at the entrance of o'ne of the harbors of the city of Rhodes. Washington Correspondence. Washington, Feb. 22,1873. Tnx CLIMAX APHROACHING. On Tuesday next, the climax of the Credit Mobilier excitement will be reached when the subject comes up in the House for consideration. The Committee, headed by the latty old gent., Judge Pol'ird, in silver hair ind claw-hammer blue coat with brass buttons, from whom the country expected so uuch, have, like the mountain in labor, >rought forth a mouse, at present supposed o be still-born, but this will be determined >n Tuesday, when the Congressional doctors lold a consultation on the case. Such di- , rersity of opinion never existed as in this natter, and th6 dissatisfaction with regard ] o the report is general among those who do j lot sec through party glasses. The Demo- ' rata are particularly dissatisfied when look- j ng at the report from a party stand-point, , ind all agree that the Democrats have been t >ut-witted. The case stands thus: The I Radicals save from disgrace half a dozen at 1 east, prominent leaders, and sacrifice a nobody?Ames?ffhile the Democrats stamp a . conceded leader as infamous, and this is sup [>oscd to balance the scales. A schoolboy < an figure up tho sum. I do not think that 1 Mr. Brooks, one Democrat, can stand against J Pig-Iron Kelly, .Bingham, Dawes, Garfield, Shofield, Oakes Ames and Vice President . Colfax, who also come under the Committee's power, by any rule of arithmetic that I im conversant with. According to the report " honors arc easy." Such a counting up would make an old whist-player say cuss words and forswear the Devil's Prayer Book ( forever. , Mr. Brooks is suffering very much from i lickness, which, together with mental auxie- 1 :y, caused by his present troubles, quite ' frustrates him ; he is preparing an elaborate lofcnce. Oakes Ames shuffles around the House perfectly unconcerned, with about is much expression on his phiz us is on 1 ne of his own shovcis. lie jokes about he matter in his own licuvy way j he told Fudge Nibluck that ho proposed offering a esolution for the expulsion of the Credit Hobilier Committee, and thought it would >ass. The truth is, the Committee, by their j MBMMWWMBMMMMMM???? action, are as much on trial as Brook* and Ames. The friends of the latter are playing a big game of bluff, by reporting that Ames threatens, in case of his expulsion, to shake the Congressional tree, and thero will be such a falling of rotten fruit as will astonish the natives; but I am inclined to believe that he has told all he knows with regard to Congressmen. Ben Butler wil take charge of his case, and then tho Committee may expect to be excoriated in his sermon, the text being, " That nobody was bribed, and yet Ames is guilty of bribery." Daniel W. Voorhees and others will defend Mr. Brooks; on what grounds, has not transpired, but it is expected from Mr. Voorhees' great legal ability and remarkable oratorical powers, that his effort will be one worthy so great an ocoasion. Mr. Ames' case will come up first. It is not known what course the Committee will adopt. Tho impression is very prevalent that there will be no expulsions, as it requires a two-third vote. COLFAX IMPEACHMENT. Littl$ did Mr. Colfax think when he was Speaker in the House, and cost his vote for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson with such a flourish of trumpets that he would so soon be placed in a like position, with the difference that president Johnson was tho victim of partisan malignity and political exped iency, while he (Colfax) is charged with criminal practices by an old personal and party friend. Alas! what a change' has oome over the scene. Even though the Judiciary Committee, presided over by Demi-John A. Bingham, ono of the Credit Mobilier lame ducks, should not find sufficient evidence before the Poland Commiitee to prefer articles of impeachment against any public officer*, as the resolution reads, the faot that Mr. Colfax was soreencd by the vote of Dawes, Garfield, Bingham and Schofield?his brothers in Mobilier?when Fornando Wood's resolution was voted down; by that vote he is politically tried, found guilty, hang, drawn and quartered, with no hope of resorection this side of the river Styx. TIIE VALUE OP THE PRESS AND ITS ABUSE. It is only the observer hero that can have a correct idea of the influence of the press upon Congress; generally it is salatatry? though sometimes it is the reverse. This power has been strikingly illustrated in stirring up investigations, and especially the Credit Mobilier fraud, and the New York Stock Exchange Expose. While we find muob to commend in the independence and fidelity to the profession, there are many among the craft, if I may so term it. who prostitnte their pens to slander or blackmailing purposes. A NOTABLE INSTANCE of this kind was nipped, in the bud by the President of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, who at once brought suit for libel against a writer who hod attacked its management as fraudulent; the result was the ambitious scribbler was lodged in jail. As an answer to the charge made, the company, the largest in the world, issued its regular annual statement, which iB a complete and satisfactory vindication of its management, showing it to be a model of economy and financial success, and one that might not only be an example lor corporations generally, but for our government, as its expenses for the paat year were only 7 per cent, of its receipts. The prompt action of the Mutual in bringing the question bee .1 - tuowaa ui snrfnking irom the breath of the defamer, is worthy of imitation in similar cases which would have the offset of deterring venal and malicious scribblers from the work of bringing discredit on the profession. the soldier's land grab bill was killed, yesterday by the Senate Committee on Public Lauds reporting adversely on it. The reasons given are numerous and conclusive, it.being universally oonccded that it was a bill for the benefit of land speculators. The Committee do not deprecate the the services of the soldiers and sailors in the war but for reasons of public policy, have squelched this job. oalivant deferred. The President has determined to postpone his intended Southern trip on acoount of business that will be created by the incoming administration. He had purposed, it was said, to see the South for himself so as to be better able to inaugurate an era of good will between the North and Sooth, but it must go over for another year, because the Presi dent cannot forego the pleasures and gaieties of Long Branch during the summer?but then the South can wait for the more than doubtful reforms that Grant would inaugurate.
