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.

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

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.
