License Law.
Y/e clip the following from tho Char
leston Kews of the 1st inst., apd recom
mend it to the consideration of our rcad
? ere:
"Protest Aoaixst the License Law.
"Wo are requested to priut the following
form of a protest, which .has been sug
gested by eminent legal counsel, against
the iniquitous license law:
Charleston,-day of-. 1872.
I hereby give notice to the County
Treasurer that tho license fee required of
mo under the act to provide for a general
license law is paid under protest on the
ground of illegality, and under duress or
threat and fcAr of cximiual prosecution
and pain of imprisonment; and that an
action will bo brought against the county
treasurer to recover it back. The grounds
are:,,^ t., ^.<4I<,;1 oA? in i ? xttt
1. That the constitution ho3 not dele
gated to the Legislature any power to
establish a general system, and all pow
ers not delegated remain with the people.
2. Tliat the jucenic facs arc taxes in
disguise, and arc unequal and wanting in
tho uniformity, prescribed by the consti
tution.
3. That the,only tax allowed by the
constitution, ia a proportional tax cn pro-,
pcrty and a poll tax not exceeding one
dollar pet head, and it is. provided that
this tax be annual and ia pursuance of a
law stating the object or objects to which
it is to be applied, all of which provis
ions arc violated in tho license r.ct."
It is beyond a doubt high time that the
people should in mas." and in deed rescind
the authority delegated to their reprcsen
tativu by whom it has been so shameful
ly abused, so tyrnnically exercised r?hc
law is iniquitous, murderous, ; specious
and framed of dictatorial arrogance. We
think it should bo resisted by every in
dividual in-the country?by the businc??
man because! it rorkeaa menial of him in
his own home, end by the agriculturist
because it. is calculated to kill out, in the
fitate, all that enterprise which fosters
home consumption of his product?; drives
him to incur heavy freights nr.d other i
charged Ih'ojdtfri'tul to rhnsportation;
forcing him to foreign markets l" com
pote under these heavy expenses wit};
similar articles. The question is, do rc
only pay fi-.r necessary voik, or do we
not work for unnecesfarv pay ? Are we
their servants or are they not our? ? Hold
them to a strict account of their steward
ship, and block their arrogance j'n tin;
comb'. Stop their theft, jn any way with
in your reach- and i.4' possible sent, then:
in tho penitentiary. It is nothing boo
legalized jiighway robbery, illegitimate
and unconstitutional. It murders enter

only .knows what is to become of the
State. TAe whites had-hotter leave tHb
Stain and let Radicalism re-establish
slavery ns it. wa:3. which in far better than
ibis political bondage?and their sub

THE TOURNAMENT.
The Tournament! the TouVnement' 1!
Is in everybody's mind and mouth in the
town, who is under 40 nnd over It!, and
it will bo the Orangeburg "events of the
year" together with the annual Fair. We
?x|? Rave aUdrfttweniy knights from
t!:i? County, and eight or ten from Ool
lciOii and Barhwell. A portion' of Mill
ler's Band, from Charleston, will be ob
tained, nnd after the. tilt will come a bull
?a thing which Orangeburg ha3 not seen
for .some tine.
, The ground was selected some two
weeks ago, nnd cvercince, when it was no;,
raining, there baa been riding every
evehilig. It hasi become the excitement
of the town, and the field i.-j the rendez
vous for the cmulativo champions of
Easter egg nicking. As usual, sometimes
yo-i pec one egg h?rst cd, and then the
other, an ! sometimes you sec a ring; or
so t?ken und the'n i?gain you do:i't. Par
tic dai ly 3'?u don't when wc ride.
The practising is carried on very reg
ularly here, and unless the parties who
enter I lie Ibts from other neighborhoods
also practice regularly, they will cer
tainly be disappointed in I heir effort* after
a prise. ?Vo would aspect the tin cup,
but that wc regard a^ under the special
care, of providence ior ourselves.
Port Iloyai Railroad.
A Georgia Railroad Company has
bought stock in, and endorsed to a hirgj
amount the bonds of the Port Royal Kail
road, and Beaufort is promised a reg
ularly organized scheduler! train, in
a few months. Charleston would have
a competitor in Beaufort, wor^ it not
that Port Royal being the. place cf incu
bation for Southern RadicAlism, the few
natives who have be?^. ftmafcls to Uv*.
feel lilto nny other thing rather ithun
competitors in commercial enterprise. It*
negroes free t j "Wildness, and Yankees
thievidi to Radicality eau further enter
prize, Charleston ia "gone up." It was
tbeio.that that Saxtmi, (I believe,) in
company with sonic colored wench "buried
slavery," just after stealing n handsome
lot of real astute in bis wife's name an.% a
lot. of money from the negroes.
Those Rumors.
"We have been assured that the rum
ors .With regard to a forgery on the
County Treasury were false, and that the
matter shall have full investigution'beforo
the nest grand jury. With the advice
to the jurymen that they.insist Upon a
just and tlajroogh examination as the
best thing lor all partios, we conceive
that, our duty in the matter as jottnralist
ceases.
F*?cts have come to our knowledge,
since our last issue, which taku from
Judge Graham's, recent appointment, at
this bar, any apparent disregard of "the
ermine."

Columbia Election.
Columbia,^. C. April 2d, 1872.
Great excitement prevails throughout
the. city to-day, in consequence of the olcc
iion taking place for Mayor and Alder
men. The /otiug commenced at an early
hour this morning, and has been kept up
incessantly flaring the whole day. ,
The probable result of the elctlinii is
not yet known, but I think I am safe in
saying that the Radical tick'j!. iscUcted.:
Mr. Agncw, the citizens candidate, is
probablv elected, and hones are enter
t.iiued that Mr. GuHck," on the same
ticket, will come out ahead. If .this bu
tru .-, wo may rist assured that a keen
eye will be kept o >vn upon, the Council j
ill their actions. Ab? ui 12 o'clock to-day)
there 'was every indication of a general
iio;; but the "colo.td tiooj<i" were dis
appointed.
It i? rumored that Mayor Alexander
has b.:cn accused ?:f p.-rjury, by a rela
tive of his.
The young men arc working Imrd^and
deserve great credit for their efforts. ,

WlIKRB THW MONEY WENT.?Just
before the close of the late Legislature,
khc Treasurer informed the members that
there was no money in the Treasury to
pay them oil", and that, all he could do
would bo to give them orders On the
County Treasurer. An angrv debato
ensued, in which Representative "Wbip
per, (uegru) remarked:
"Thore was no money in the Treasury
now , because it had all gone into the
pocket* of tho numbers, who were bought
to vote against impeachment. Decency
ought to tell the. member from George
town to keep his mouth shut, when it
was well known that most of tho moxey
rolled out of tho Treasury into his pocket.
If ho was not so black, ho ought to blush
for his shaino, and the majority of the
meinbera ought to go to their closets, and
a#k God to forgive them their iufaray."
