The result of the trial in the Unit'd States Court of the fa mous railroad tax cases, where by fouf Sheriffs were fined $500 (»ud in case of failure to pay said fine they should be impris- oaed) hascaus d r f eat sensati* n throughout the State. The Sheriffs had levied upon rail roads which were under control of receivers appointed by the Court. The railroads had paid what they considered a just tax and it was for the excess claim ed by the State that the levy was made. The Court ordered the Sheriffs to release the pro perty levied upon, but, acting, under the adv ice of Governor Tillman, they refused to do so. They were, therefore, held for contempt by the Court. The Court holds that property in the hands of a receiver is in the hands of the Court. It re cognizes the paramount right of the State to tax the property, but states that, if the tax be thought illegal, the receive! has a right to seek the protection of the Court. The legality of the tax was not decided upon by the Court, but it was decided that the Sheriffs acted wrong-1 working in the Pee Dee section cans, also armed, drove them out. The Governor, who is a Populist, ordered out the militia of the State to protect the Popu list Legislature and Republi cans from all over Kansas 01- ganized volunteer companies to support their Legislature The State House was put in a state of siege and f )r several dayst e excitement w is intense, but the Third partyites backed down on Thursday am! gave up every thing to the Republicans. Both sides now agree that they will abide the dec ision of the Su preme ' ourt as to which is the legiil Legislature. We in South Carolina, who experienced the unpleasant pre dicament of having two Leg islatures in 187(1, can sympathize with the people of far-off Kan sas. That State, however, has always been a South hater and we have never received any sympathy or consideration from that cjuarter, so we can say without iajk of charity or grat itude say that we are glad it is Kansas and not South Carolina that is suffering from bitter po litical contentions. •*7lie Slate.” The Columbia Sfafe has been On the 12 hist., at Dunbar, “ li 8 ht came “P. he returned Marion county, Irving Jones for ,Ji 18 nmbrella - , . i . ■ ! “He could not remember the word um- was shot an instantly killed by ^ re i[ a Bn( j WBi w ^ 0 not noticed the Charley Guide.

MOONEY fully because they seized pro perty greatly exceeding in value the amount claimed by the State as due for taxes and be cause some of the property seiz ed, such as freight, belonged to private parties and not to the railroads. The Court, therefore, ordered the Sheriffs to surrender the property and this they did Beyond the legal merits of the case, the State authorities seem to be taxing the railroads too high. Some of the railroads are taxed above their market value. The law says that taxa tion shall be uniform. Now It^t Governor Tillman raise the tax es of others besides railroads. By common consent (but it is not authorized by law) the indi vidual returns his property for taxation at one third the mark et value. If the taxes of the in dividual, the farmer, the me chanic, the merchant and lawi yer, were raised considerably, like the taxes of ihe railroads were, Beu Tillman’s political supremacy would soon be over. Yet equity and justice demand that this should be done and fair play is what we should all want. What the State authorities will do now to get tho Sheriffs out of the trouble, in which their advice put them, remains to be seen. From the Governor's ut terances it would seem, hower- er. that the matter will be car ried to the United States Su premo Court. GENERAL BEAUREGARD. The death of Gen. P. T. Beau regard, which occurred in New Orleans on Monday, removes an historic Confederate figure. He was tho last full Southern gen eral to pass into the unknown region. For him there wdll be no more wars nor rumors of war, but, so long as the martial spirit remains in man and na tions and peoples are swayed by the sound of trumpets and the clash of arms, his memory will be entwined with the fame of the world’s great soldiers. Gen. Beauregard commanded the forces that fired the first shot of the war and he contin ued in service until the last sMdier had surrendered. South Carolinians know him. They fought under him around Char leston, they were with him at the glorious victory of Manas sas and they shared with him the sufferings at bloody Shiloh He was of French extract and inherited the dash and valor of that warlike people and those who followed him on the battle field honor him for hisbravery His record as a soldier was without reproach and more is the pity, therefore, that his con nection with a great lottery has tarnished his reputation as a aiito. for a long time under disadvan tages on account of railroad schedules. The paper is now ilete mined to overcome this drawback if possible. The an nouucement is made by the Slain that arrangements will be short ly made so as to give the paper to its readers in this section on the morning of publication or else an afternoon edition will be sent to the Pee Dee subscribers We hope that some satisfactory arrangements will be made, for the Stale has many friends heie who sincerely regret that it is now received so late GENERAL NEWS.
