It has net been our fortune to listen : to the specious arguments advanced by the opponents of this excellent measure. In fact we could only expect opposite n j from men who repiesent the two classes against whose nefarious practices this law is chiefly directed. In the one classare tho;C who prior to the war made money by the illicit trading cf whiskey for stolen cotton and other produce, and who immediately ! accepted the situation in 18f>5 and starting grogshops at the cross roads invited the freedman to bring his employer's cot- j ton to a repository where everything wa received and no questions asked. This i class of people naturally feel opposed to the new order of things an i their opposition is equally sustained by those among the laboring class who uniformly and consistently plundered their employers to sell to these men. For too many years the idea has pre vailed among the newly enfranchised, that liberty meant unbridled license and that to attempt to enforce an honest contract was a blow aimed at freedom. The abau-1 donment of the culture of sea island cot- j ton on large plantations in this neighbor- I hood was in great measure due to the sheer inability of the planter to conteud , against the uuiversal system ot pilfering prevalent among the laborers by nieht , and by day, from the field and from the gin house. During the ginning season the unhannv cotton grower would have I %"w rrv o to toil all day, in superintending his j hands at their legitimate tasks, and be forced at night to patrol his estate to pre. vent his hard earned bales from being ] carried off. And as such has been the case in other parts of the State, we think the act a good one aud if not found effectual we hope more stringent measures ; will be adopted to compel respect for the law. Bowen's Republican convention, called to nominate candidates for the General Assembly, met in Charleston on Monday l and after a hard fight nominated a ticket 1 composed of ten of Charleston's best citizens, Democrats, and seven of their own i party. To the surprise of the faithful < the respectable Democrats declined the '< honor of serving the State it their elec ( tion depended upon their associating with 1 Bowen's crew, and from present appear j < ancesthe Democratic ticket will be elect-; ' ed without opposition, and Charleston 1 will at last be represented in the Legisla- t ture. j ( The Republican party in this State is i at last^without an organ. The number s previous'to the last election was not large, s and even these were of sickly growth and i when the steals for alleged printing of i the laws was stopped they gave up the !.( ghost. The first to surrender was the c Standard of this place which had got to c that point where the proprietors bad to v pay for running it out of their own pock- c ets; next to go to the wall was the Wal- c terboro News followed by the Union-ITer c aid and la tly by Swail's paper, the Wil- i jiamsburg Republican. The State is bet- ; e ^ ^1>aoa inn 1 ol\nnf c? *i ler Uli nituuun iiitoc (.Mununai outvu y and as they had few subscribers or read- t ers the enlightenment of the people of s the State will not suffer by their down- v fall. t k Retrenchment. ! a ? . 1? While a very general widely-spreading { effort has for some months been in progress to reduce public and private cxpen- j diture, so as, according to the homely ; t< but familiar expression to "make both c ends meet;" and not only the general ! s and state government, but municipal 'J authorities, institutions and corporations ' n have found it necessary to adopt stringent t1 measures of retrenchment, aud reform. ' T some localities seem to be outside the j t! pale of such salutary movements; laid up as c it were in a sort of Rip Van Winkle sleep h of ignorance and indifference to current e affairs. It is understood that although a taxes have been paid into the Town si Treasury of Beaufort amounting to some t: nine to ten thousand dollars for the cur- ft. rent year, which is not yet half gone, the tt mouey has all been expended, and we are . b; running in debt. Without any intention f, to disparage the present town- govern- it nieut, or to assume that they have not ah that they might to bring expen-; ui ditufes within receipts or to economize u in ever}- wry during the period of do- v pression and disaster which affects tin ] whole country, it h. surel> pertinent to' enquire if there be at someway in ,,J winkh Beau.hwt u;ay r ail-e th? benefit- m tf .Ktreashiutot as well* as other com w niuivitics inasmuch asuorejeu :f town esren'dirve* has been made for n ai 'y - .

The Iutcndant is not to be blamed for ecejving what the town council see fit to j rive him, for being their figure head, % sven if lor seventy years, and in more j prosperous times, the duties of the office liave been cheerfully performed without fee or reward. And if a blow should be struck at that point as an abuse, it ought to be aimed at those who created it, the parties who seldom vote away their own money, but w ho seem never so happy as when engaged in incurring debts or obligations for the impersonal rmblic to pay or discharge. There is small doubt that the reason why the average taxes soon to be collected for State and County pur j oses have been cut down from two and-a half per cent to barely one, is found in the fact that for the first time in ten vears some of the tax payers have had a voice in levying them. ui\Iay their tribe increase." It is .."not assumed that the town council arc not tax payers, but do they fairly represent the tax paying community? and if one of them is ready t5 lend the town money at 24 per cent interest can he be called a disinterested Orlinance maker? Voting a large tax to pay himself a large interest! Doubt hss there may be those who suppose that two or three thousand dollars paid to vigilant night watchmen ensures the safety of their stores, dwellings gardens or hen-roosts: Happy delusion ! blessed ignorance of the habits of our nocturnal guardians ! Is it not a well established fact that the police to a inau arc deaf? Is it not equally well known that they are blind ? How otherwise should burglars choose the most prominent stores and shops in the most frequented streets, and with hammer and chisel in geuuine carpenter style break the "doors or in the brightest moonlight force an entrance by smashing iu a window? But the subject grows as one looks it over and it would be too much of a draft upon your columns to pursue it as far as might very properly be done at one writing. If some attention can be awakened, and the importance of canvassing the question of greater economy in the administration of affairs in Beanfort can be brought home to the minds of the people who have largest interest in the matter, the end sought will be accomplished. and a new muuicipal year may be begun on a basis of retrenchment. Phil. As Gen. Giant has been presented with the freedom of the city of London it maybe interesting to know what this great honor consists of. The process is tor the citizens to vote to bestow this warrant. The personage to be honored is then notified, and upon some convenient public occasion he is expected to appear before the City Chamberlain. Greneral Grant wiU be duly brought into rfce presence of this functionary; the jlerk and officers of the treasury will put :heir names down with his in the proper x>ok as his 4'compurgators", making hemselves responsible for his good citizenship, the Chamberlain will administer ,o him the oath of fidelity, shake hands fith him and give him a gold box, a slip of parchment warranting 'to him, md to his children dwelling within seven niles of the city, the franchise of a freenan of London. Under this frauchise xeneral Grant will be at liberty to carry >r. any trade within the limits of the city ! >f London-a tanyard for instance, or a j rood-yard, a whisJcy distillery, or a stone luarry?without being taxed at the gates >11 the goods he brings in; he will be 'xempted also from compulsory service n the British army or navy. If he ilects to live within the city limits, he rill be free from tolls and customs hroughout all England and parts of the ea; and his children being left orphans rill have the right to become wards of he city and to put their property for safe ;eeping into the city treasury. He will 'so have the right to huut in the county f Middlesex. >#> >'o District School Tax. The IIdo. II. S. Thompson, Superinimdant of Education, has addressed a ircular to school trustees in which he ays: "This is the year in which the , rustces are required to make, or to have lade, an enumeration of all children be- , treen the ages of six and sixteen years, 'he district tax having been abolished here is no fund from which the Trustees , in be paid for this work. They are, , owever, earnestly requested to make the ] numeration. The work is not onerous, , nd it is of the utmost^importancc that it >ouid be done.

I trust in God he ! may, and that we shall henceforth have less sectionalism an 1 partisan bitterness.

We have a j new era in South Carolina, and under i Hampton's adniinstration confidently anticipate a stride forward in every department of life which will bring happiness and wealth and eontentuiCLt in its train to all classes and conditions of our people. The millenium has not come, but the messenger of peace has, and we rejoice." The Montenegrins Whip the Tnrks. A great battle was fought last week between the Montenegrins and Turks resultingjin the defeat of the latter. The advance of the Turks from Podgoritza, ! * Albania, liad been carefully watched by t the Montenegrin spies, and every precaution taken in selecting a suitable point < at which to receive the invading party, i The Turks moved forward to Spitz, reach- < ing that place Friday night and encamp- ? ing. On Saturday morning at daylight the advance into Montenegro began. The Turks numbered tcu thousand ( men, under the command of Ali Saib. . The Montenegrins had taken up their t station at Flava, three thousand strong. About 10 o'clock the Turkish advance < came upon the Montenegrin pickets who 1 fell back to the main body. An hour J later fourteen battalions of Ali Saib's force came upon and without halting < attacked the Montenegrin position, l During the eight hours following, the ( engagement before the defile and fighting ' during the retreat lasted. Four determined attacks wcro made by the Turks, t but in each instance were repulsed by J the Montenegrins. Bousea Petriovich ^ had thrown up two rows of entrench- j ments; and behind these ramparts the t Montenegrins fought, with a safe retreat 1 into wooded hills always open behind them. The fourth advance of the Turks ? was made with eight battalions, led by Ali Saib in person. Flushed with three victories the Montenegrins saw that their enemies came up to the attack with little hope, therefore they refrained from firing until they were within two hundred yards, and then poured a deadly | volley into their enemy's front, as a " small body of Mwitenegrin horsemen dasl ied from either side and fell upon the j flanks. At first the flanks wavered, but j rapidly changing front, killed many of the attacking party. The centre came ^ up without halting until they received a ^ second volley, and then, through some ^ mistaken order, or because of disinclina(J tion to advance, the Tur?s halted. The Montenegrins sprang over the parapet of ^ their entrenchments, and attacked the column with the bayonet. The Turks . broke but were partially rallied by Ali Saib, and fell back about two miles in tolerable shape to an open piece of country. Meanwhile the Montenegrins had * jj reformed and pursued tho Turks to Spuz. The Turkish dead at places along the \ road certainly equalled two thousand uien, besides many wounded and a few ' prisoners. a A Summary of Acts, a There are a number of interesting and ^ important acts of the General Assembly a which can be more easily understood ^ from a summary of their contents than 0 by giving the full text, and wo present u herewith a synopsis : 1. State aud county officers, except t members of the General Assembly and a the Governor, are prohibited from ab \ scnting themselves from the State for h more than .thirty days in any one year, t without special permission of the Gov- v crnor, and violations of this act will work [} a forfeiture of the salaries and perqui- t kes for the year iu which such absence occurs. 2. Hereafter no person shall be ap- ? pointed to fill any county office, who is e not an elector of such county. jj 3. Trustees of public schools are prohibited from becoming teachers, and any person who shall hold the office of .trustee, and at the same time teach a public school, forfeit all right to any part of the n public mouey for the maintenance of free fi schools. 4.
