Columbia is alive with excitement. The arrival of Congressman Elliott, was anticipated by the arrangement of a special committee of escort, and four white horses bitched to a stylish turnout. The quarrel of Cardoza and Solomons, and that of Senator Andrews of Orangc hnrg and I/.

Wo hinted before that a hitch had occurred in a Columbia Hank and now give the exact affair. Hardy Solomons merchant of Columbia held a claim against the State in pay certificates <&c <fec to tho amount of $125,000, which he de manded to be settled by Treasurer Car doza. The Treasurer refused to pay the claim, and Mr.Solomons who is president of the Hank in which tbo deposits of the Treasurer, and various County treasurers were made, shut down on $65,000 of such deposits to pay himself. The result is a suit between the claimant and banker. the duff us tri a i*. Excites great intercut in Charleston. The brothers Duffus are both very young and their able counsel are bringing all tho power of argument to clear fhcin of the dilibcratc murder of young West. What the result of the case will be is yet undetermined. In this case the happi ness and peace of trvo families are perma nently destroyed by the demon (Whiskey) and a lessou is tobe learned by our youth who frequent the dens of infamy. Since writing the above we learn from the Charleston papers that after five days of earnest effort on the part of the able counsel for the accused, the jury have brought in a verdict of ''Murder/ on the part of J. L. Duffus, and manslaughter on the part, of his brother. The meeting at Branchville lo memoria lize the general assembly on the subject of unjust assessment, and to condemn the action rf the Comptroller, is ono wh.cb reflects credit upon our sinter town, and sloth upon ourselves. No community has suffered more than Ornngeburg proper.no class of property has bean more heavily taxed, and no people seem .?o utterly su pine and apathetic under the lash. Are wc to remain thus; or tfrowe to appeal for relief; whether it is obtained or not is not for us to enquire, we hope for little fluni euch a rule as that which is over us. Yet it is the duty of the op pressed to repTohato audhold up to light the hideous doforrmty of the thing called government under which we live. Let the Oraugeburg. taxpayern have a meet ing and act with BranchvOle. ASSESSMENTS. Ma run County demands a reassess ment of its property, and a committee has been sent there to look into the books of the Auditor. "We have very little faith in the visit of the committee, as it is a cog in the party wheel, but we insist that something can and should be done in the matter of assessment. If a com mittee of nppraisors was sent to value tho various property lately returned for tax ation, it would render in, an aggregate of at least thirty per cent less, provided said committee was looking into the value of property to tho owners, and not the value of such property to the assessors. In Orangeburg for instance the owners of property have affirmed On oath to the value of property, and in almost every case, the returns have been set aside, ami ono made according to the assessment of the officers of that department. "We are forced to admit "that ye are the people" but dissent "that wisdom shall die with you" Let the people have another assessment. It will save them many thousands. While '?Moses" *ras delivering his lec ture, the following handbill was circulated among his slim audience: Parker's "Haul." Thursday Evening, February 5,1874. LECTURE ON RELIGION! BY HON. F. J. MOSES, JR , AUTHOR OF "Moses' Notes," "Moses on Virtue,' &c. Ex-Speaker of the House of Representa tives, and Now, through the Unac countable Mercy of a Divine Providence, Exercising the Duties of Governor of South Carolina. The Lecturer hast bceu secured at an immenso expense to the State. The sub ject of his Lecture is Religion, which, for many years, he has made his study, and. in order to become the master of his sub ject, he bns devoted the entire Contingent Fund to this purpose. He is n living ex ample of what Religion can do for hu manity, when properly understood. He will show bow little faith can bo placed in doctrines of the Church Fathers; that to have Religion, one must necessarily possess Morality, Chastity, Truth, Hones ty, Good Faith, Reverence and Filial Love, (to iay nothing of Virtu re.) He will show in his own person that one can, in bis opinion, be Religious, from a Chris tian standpoint, without possessing any of the aforesaid imaginary qualities. He will show that without them one can rise to the highest position in the State. Du ring the Lecture, he will produce Neagle as an example of man without Religion, possessed of the Devil. In order to elu cidate his subject thoroughly, he will show to the audience a tablet upon which is engtaved a Pay Certificate signed by the original Moscb for current expenses incurred in drowning Pharaoh; a stone from Alt. Sinai, telling the price of an office in that land 3,000 years ago; a Rook of Promises, written by himself; a vase found in the garden of the Republi can Printing Company, containing $20, 000; also, several duplicate copies of the Collcion Gazette, taken from the corner stone of the Preston Mansion. On this occasion the Lecturer will be dressed in full u iiform, manufactured by Cowdilly from tho original flag, hauled down at Sumtcr. lie will also wear the sword with which ho cut himself loose from Ti uth and Virtue ever since In fancy. The Music for the occasion will be furnished by tho 81,000 Certificate Post Rand, which will play, by request, some of the airs performed at the Gubernatorial Mansion during the summer, with selec tions, also, from "a hundred thousand more." A Quartette from tho Penitentiary will be present, and Bing at the close of the Lecture.? "Return ye ransomed sinners home."
