On Wednesday last in the Court ol
Common Pleas, at Charleston, before ,
Judge Reed, in the case of Daniel Hand
Vs. the Savannah and Charleston Railroad
Company, and the other cases concerning
this railroad, the report of C. T. Mitchell,
Esq., the Receiver of the road,
Was read by Mr. II. E. Young, together
with a report from C. S. Gadsden Esq., ]
the .Engineer and Superintendent, ,
recommending that the present track ,
from John's Island Ferry station to the ,
Ashley river terminus be taken up, and
, that a new track from John's Island ,
0 Ferry station to and across the Ashley
river at Bee's ferry be built, to connect
with the Ashley River Railroad Compa- ^

TAXES.
Major Goodiug, our county treasurer, (
returned from his first collection tour last
Sunday and reports good collections, but
the amouut is not so large as it would j
have been had the people the money to j
?ay, many having to wait until their c
crops are marketed in October to raise
the money. In Beaufort the office is *
crowded with colored people who are {
delighted to fiud their taxe* just half
what th<# were under theMackey House
levy and tjiey are ready to give their
allegiance to the party which gives them
such visible proof of its benefits. About
two hundred colored tax payers have so far ?
paid up against only fifty whites. The |
amount collected is over $3,000 and .Mr.
Oooding has forwarded $1,500 to Col- t
tfriiORt on -account of the State tax.
Mr. B. B. Sams, auditor, complains jj
that the books prepared by Mr. Langley,
his predecessor, are iu such a umddle as ^
to be almost useless and if he had time
lie should prepare a new duplicate. After ,
die got possession of the office, ulthoug h t
the books bad becu completed and
abstracts taken, he found 1,200 returns g
of tax payers that had not been entered. v
Many large estates are uot on the books ^
and others differ so grcaiiy from the ^
returns made that they will have to be J
submitted to the Comptroller Genera: ?
for correction, makiug troublesome and
annoyiug delays. A now list of appointments
is advertised today, and it is the j
wish of the Auditor that tax payers will
not neglect to make their returns
promptly so he can get to work at the (
tax books for next year in time to en sure ?
a careful and correct duplicate. f

The Secretary of the* Treasury has iu? ?
6tructed Mr. Gage, collector of customs, j
to double his bond. This is not surpris- (
jog as Mr. Gage has often had three times j
-as much money in his hands as his I o id j
called for, and it shows the confidence the j
department has had iu his honesty that un t
increase of his bonds has not been called Q
for before. The uew order is in cjmpli- l
ance with the new system of civil service t
reform.

The present troubles iu Idaho and
those which have recently occurred, with 3
more or less disaster, are nothing new
to the Government, and we suppose are
yet to continue for years to come. The r
. process seems to be the same everywhere. t
While the Indians possess or claim a t
territory, they are subject to encroach- t
ments on all sides from the whites; if j
they dispose of their territory and find \
themselves in narrow boundaries, then a
they complain that they have been cheat- t
ed or wronged in some way, and com- r
mence depredations upon the settlers 0
In 1855 an immense reservation, chiefly t
in Idaho, was laid out for the Indians; n
the whites uiade encroachments upon t
iX, the Indians roved beyond its bouuda- s
ries, .and threats and revengeful acts j|
have followed. Government finally less- p
cned the reservation by treaty and f>
established what is known as the Fort :1
Lapwai reservation, i^ong the Clearwa- ; (
ter river, 30 miles long and L'O wide;
and out of these proceedings the recent j,
massacres and coming conflicts have n
arisen, just as a hundred times be1 ore. ^
Young Joseph of the Kcz Purees tribe is j
the fighting character, and lie has been c'
aggravated by the murder of some of Ins j tl
men. lie says, "The country was made o
without lines of deuiarkation," and it
was no business of the white "to draw j
lines around his country. ' In May last, 0
after arresting some of the violent ones, j oi
the Indians cousented to go upon the t!
reservation, but Joseph determined to ui
take the warpath, ami attacked some of N
the white settlements and massacre the w
people. More or less of thi.M'usino-s lias tl
been going on since a d ep ,vts have < >
>ccn made toil luce all the lmlians t??
mite in the cftort to clear the whole jounfry
from Boise, the capi al of Idaho,
lo Lewiston, of the v bites, It is re!
ported that the Indians of Washington
lVrritory and Oregon will join with the ;
Dther tribes in the war. and a very scri- !
>ns time is apprehended, The number
>f warriors in several of the tribes men- j
tioned amount to seven or eight thousand,
and, ot course, greatly outnumber ;
the troops at present in the field. Gen-;

conflict will be a short one, and may have

Annual School Meeting on St Helena.
The annual "District School Meeting
on St Helena Island was held on Satur-j
day July 14th after adjournment form!
June GOt h.
There were present leading men from
every quarter of the district. The foremost
influential colored citizens to the
number of over one hundred, were there
to represent the wishes of their several
neighborhoods. The white tax payers of
the island 111'ght be considered represented
by two of them being present and
voting for the resolutions which follow,
which lesoluticns passed unanimously,
and enthusiastically by the meeting, after
stirring addresses by Sammy Green
and Hastings Gautt.
Resolved: That we deeply regret
that we arc this year prevented by law
from voting the usual District School
Tax, as we have done for several years
past.
Resolved: That wc will, by ever}'
lawful means in our power, endeavor to
procure the re-enactment of the law just
repealed, by which every school district
wishing schools, could vote a district
school tax, and those districts which did
aot wish them need levy none.
Resolved: That, failing in thij, we will
try to have a law so made as to except
his district from the effect of this repeal.

ure because; This community is composed
almost wholly of colored land-owners,
:here being only about fifty whites to
learly 5,<XV> colored persons. Because,
here are 12S0 colored children of age to
tttend school, and only seven white child en.
Because, we who levy the tax, pay
t mostly and the few white property
loldc-rs of this district: have always coipcrated
cheerfully with us in the supM)rt
of our schools. They hare never
o far as as we know objected to paying
heir share of the tax. They have the
risdom to know that there is little hope
f their having a peaceful prosperous,
ud comfortable life, except in being J
urrounded by an educated and intelli;ent
coiunmnity, instead of by an idle
gnoratit, and vicious one. They have
cen urge it for schools accessible to their
limitations, having observed that where
here are schools, there are the most
ontentment, industry, and thrift and the
east crime.
Resolved : That for these reasons we
irgc upon the public, and our rulers, the
xpediency of re-enacting the former
aw, or of excepting by the operations of a

No. 10 comprising St Helena and some

A prominent New England Congressnan
gives some interesting views as to
he attitude of the President in rclatiou
o the organization of the House aud
he probable action of the Democrats,
de said that, at the meeting of the
louse, the Southern members who had
pproved the Presidents policy toward
heir section would be at the parting of two
oads, and'would have to take one or the
ther. One was the road; of friendlin ss
owaru tne aaminisuauon, noi lnvoiviug
ece warily an abandonment of their pary,
but requiring at their hands a contant
opposition to ail schemes for assailag
the President's title. The other was

cracy of the North, who intend to make j
factious and bitter warfare upon Mr. !
1 ayes.
The President has conferred an
iest:.mab!e benefit upon tlie 8outh by i
dieting thcin of Federal interference. \
iprcsentatives of that section ask furthr
favors at his hauls?they want
lie Mississippi Valley protected from
vcr low by the construction of levees at
Government expense, and they want ,
ovcrnment aid for a railroad from New. ]
h leans to the Pacific. For these and 1
[her projects of internal improvement! 1
ley ask, as essential to their accomplish- 1
icni, the indorsement of the President, i
ow the President has a right to kdow (
hether tiny are going to bite the hand ' s
tat gives them bread. It is not to b-' i
> "t'> l *:it he wili <-hower favors upon 1
them alter they avow their intention In '
nitl the Northern Bourbons in an effort to
put hiiu out of his office. If the House ;
is organized with Mr. Randall as speak- i
er, it means the President is to be prose- j
cuted with a view ot throwing discredit j
upon his title and driving 1 im from the ;
White House if possible. AH who aid in
such an organization inform him in ad- |
vance that tluy intend to engage in this ;
reckless project.
The President, unlike Tyler and ;
Johnson, has not gone so far in his
departure from the policy of the leaders
of his party that he cannot return. On
the contrary he is master of the situa-;
tion. If the Southern men show no
appreciation of his kindness, and join
with his relentless enemies, he is free to
say to them that lie has cease i to be \
their friend, and will henceforth accept !
the advice of Blaine, Morton and Cameron
in his conduct toward their section. '
A Report is prevalent in Washington
among Southern politicians that five or
six Southern Democrats of liberal tena?.n
w/tn/ltr f a a Pat O n n
Ut'UUCA Uiu iv^hxaj iv/ ?viu xvi win i
Banks for Speaker, but on no account j
support any more pronounced Republi" j
can. Tlmir preference for Gen. Banks
is said to grow out of the fact that he
was a Greeley man in 1872, and that he is
tne only man in the new House who possesses
marked ability as Presiding Officer.
Gen. Banks is still spoken of as the
model Speaker by all who remember his
term in the chair. If he should be
brought out as a candidate the plan would
undoubtedly be for him to be the nominee
of a few Southern Democrats remaining
out of their party caucus, and then after
a few ballots, for the Republicans to
drop their candidate?Garfield probablyand
unite with the Independents to elect
him.
Although our readers arc surfeited
! with politics we cannot but think they
will enjoy the following very truthful
statement of the political situation in
South Carolina which we clip from a Boston
paper:
Politically, as in soil and climate, South
Carolina is divided into what is known as
up-country and low-country?the up-coun
aP ^1*a Qtofii 1 n YT7 )l toll
try uuni^r I-HUL pun ui tuu m tvuiw*) l
as a whole, the white population exceeds i
the black. Iu the low-country, where the
blacks largely outnumber the whites, the
population is more dense, and, as representation
in the House of Representatives
is based upon population, the low-country,
if the members of the Legislature were
exclusively Democrats, would have a good i
working majority in the popular branch i
of the General Assembly. There are, for
example 32 counties in the State, and
rtie House of Representatives has 124
members. Charleston has sevente 11 representatives,
or one eighth of the whole.
It. is clear, therefore that whatever political
party elects its candidates in the lower
and ra. ddle counties will shape legislation
and detfcrm'ne the character of the judiciary,
as the Supreme and Circuit Judges
are elected 011 joint ballot. The Senate
consists of one Senator from each county,
except Charleston, which has two Senators;
but in the larger number of counties
the colored voters outnumber the white
voters, and the political party having the
majority in the House might be expected
to have a majority in the Senate likewise
This, in fact, was the condition of affairs
from the first election under the Recon*
struction Constitution until the election
last year, when the Democrats, carrying
several counties where the whites were in
the minority, elected a Majority of the
House of Representatives.
Whatever their fault, the low-country
trnv.-i mnn nf tnminrlit ;?r?fl
nwio uivit v? bA?uur >>v %? % .
culture. They saw that there was oulv
one way in which the dangers of the political
situation could be met, and that
was by winning the confidence of the colored
voters and making party success a
secondary consideration. In the low-country
was born the leforrn movement of
1870, when a pronounced Western llcpublicaa
was nominated for Governor by
the Democrats. It was the low-country
that prevented a democratie nomination
iu 1872, in the hope that the Republican .,
free from Democratic opposition, would
choose respectable and upright officers.
The low-country again, in 1874 induced
the Democracy to pledge its support to
the * Independent Republican candidates.
None of these movements
were directly or immediately sue
cessful. They paved the way for what
was to come.
As the time for nominating candidates
to be voted for in November, 1876, drew
uigh, two distinct Democratic policies
wore advocated. The low-country favored
an acquiescence in the re-election of
Gov. Chamberlain on such terms as
would ensure ithc Democrats protective
representation in the Legislature. Long j
restive and dissatisfied, the up-country
Democrats took the bit in their teeth and
declared that they would consent to uoth
ing but what they termed "straight-out"
Democratic candidates, standing upon a
"straight-out" party platform. Tbe
Democrats were pretty. equally divided,
but Gov. Chamberlain's letters and dis
patches concerning the-I lain burg massacre
aroused a bitter feeling that had been
dormant, revived the memories of his
association with the questionable financial !
operations of the Scott adnrni-tratiou, and
gave the {up-country movement a momentum
it could not otherwise have obtained.
The Democrats won. There was this
difference still between the up-countiy
anrl the low-country, that the up-country
while huzzting for the victory, had uo
love for the liberal and just modes whereby
it was gained, while the low-country
Democracy saw iu Hampton's election the
Tuits of their previous labor And the* tri _ |
amph of the conservative qv^fcracy un- |
lor another name. From.-the ujjjcountry,
since his installation, has eomctnicjcarpng
and picking at Hampton; f'rwiff Die !
ow-couutry lias come earnest ahd'in.tlu
v
wi????gaa?a??
support, the support not of impulse, but
of reflection siiul npon principle.
Should the Republican party hold
together next year, the Democrats will
stand shoulder to shoulder, as last year;
but ifthe Republicans make no party nominations.
they will nevertheless vote and
will vote for the conservative candidates
upon whom the low-coumrv would centre.
Already soutc of the colored Republicans
in the General Assembly stand squarely
by Hampton, when men of his own party
or his own making desert or oppose him !
The probability is that in the near
future the Democrats will divide iuto
two bodies, the general line being upcountry
extremism against low-country
liberality. With the low-country people,
among whom he was born, Wade
Hampton will be found, and with tbem
?MI i? ..I- . K..ii_ _r .i._ ?i ,i
will ue iiie L'liiK 01 uiu uuiuruu
Even in the low-country there will be
Democrats who iusist upon a policy hotter
and more bitter than that which
Brick Pomeroy or the New York Day
Book arc wont to preach; and in the
up-country knots of farsighted
and generous conservatives will make
themselves felt. But the struggle, all
the same, will be what it was in the Legislature
a while ago, and the Hampton
policy will prevail, not merely because
Hampton demands it, but because justice
to the colored man and equal rights for
all will through the whites aud blacks of
the low-country, prevail at the polls and
become the fixed and settled policy of
new-born South Caroliua.
