THE SHERIFFS IN CONTEMPT.
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

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.

OverexercU«.
Physicians are protesting against the
overexercise taken by the slender, high
strung people who would better be hold
ing on to what little flesh they have,
while it is next to impossible to stir np
the lazy, heavy class to exert themselves
enough to relieve them of their super
fluous bulk. Nature does not safely guide
us in this particular. Thin people are
moved to be active and fleshy people to
be lazy. The case calls for use of that

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.
