Perceiving that it was perfectly healthy

that there should be no black sheep in

signified by many unmistakable demon

fortunate little creature was therefore
sold for fifty cents. Just forty-eight

SUMTER, S. C, May 11, 1882.
To (lie Honora b'c In tendent and Warden? of
*- the Tow* of Samt er:
Gentlemen : We, the undersigned Tex Pay
ers of tbe Town of Sumter, do hereby respect
fully petition your Honorable body to reduce
the present License now paid by the Liquor
Dealers to ten dollars ($10.00 ? per month.
0 ?ving to the dullness of the times and de
pression of the Liquor trade for the past four
years and.tbe additional Tax of one hundred
dollars imposed upon* by the State, cause
almost tbe Liquor trade to become a losing
business to the ones engaged in the same.
Being aware of the fact, that ibe income of
our Town is mostly derived from the pro
ceeds of the Liquor Licenses we, your bum
ble Petitioners pray that the reduction asked
for will receive your kiod consideration.

F. F. TEICHJBR,
J. F. J. BARRETT.
As whoever wrote this petition omitted to
say what was imposed upon,' we suppose, he
must have had reference to the liquor dealers
and not Samter.
The above is a correct copy of tbe
original petition asking the reduction of
tbe Liquor License in this town.
In commenting upon this petition and
the action taken on same by our War
dens, it is no easy task to find suitable
language to express a just condemna
tion of the abuse of public trust and the
true interest of the Town of Suinter,
which the Wardens by granting this
reduction have'most flagrantly violated
Is the first place, the flimsy grounds
upon which this petition (and it makes
no difference how much personal inter
est was at stake,) was granted, prove
convincingly that those who voted for it,
arc utterly unfit to deliberate on the
most trifling matt
As the
thed
the Town
Ts consented to go into an
agreement with the bar-room keepers,
whereby they are made special favorites
to the detriment of tbe other business
men wbo will be taxed by tbe Town, in
one way or another, to make up for the
(600 it loses by reducing tbe liquor
license. In the name of common sense
and justice, why should tbe Wardens
repeal old ordinances and enact new j1
ones, which- will result in a fioaucial
benefit to a certain class of business
men to the direct injury of the others ?
If the times arc dull, and the whiskey
trade is not as profitable as it used to be,
that is no reason why the Wardens
should intercede, in its behalf, and pre
sent each individual bar-keeper with
$5.00 a month?that amount to be made
up in tbe Town Treasury out of the
pockets of the other business men. If
tbe whiskey dealers find that they
cannot make a living at their business,
why let them go at something else
at which they can. The revenue of the
Town ought not and should not be ap
propriated in this way. It is a shame on
the community, and should be denounc
ed in tbe bitterest terms. Instead of
reducing the liquor license, it should
have been rained. The consumer, not
the bar-keeper, pays for it after all, and
therefore he deserves ne special consid
eration from the band of our patriotic
Wardens. The next thing we expect
to bear is, that the butchers have sent
up a petition, to Town Council, askingj
a reduction from 25 cents on every beef
killed, to 15 cents^te.-;'and tbey will
have a^cfe?t-T?ght to expect as favor
able consideration from our Wardens as
the bar keepers bave received.
Tbe reduction of tbe liquor license
will prove a disadvantage rather than
an advantage to the better class of
whiskey dealers in Samter, as it will
induce men of small means to embark
in tbe business, consequently necessita
ting first class houses competing with
little grog shops.
As loose liquor licenses advance
neither civilization nor Christianity,
Sumter has been placed in a most un
favorable attitude by this 4'whiskey
compact,7' and our citizens will be esti
mated by tbe outside world accord
ingly. ' _

FORT WATSON".
About half a mile from Wright's Bluff
lauding, on the Santee River, is a curi
ous mound of earth, which if carefully
examined, might reveal some evidences
of archaeological value* This mound is
about one hundred feet from the edge of
a bluff which overlooks the picturesque
sheet of water known as Scotts Lake.
It rises abrubtly in a perfectly level
stretch of country, to the height of
about forty feet, measuring about five
hundred feet (in diameter) at the base,
and thirty feet at its summit. The
size of the trees which are now growing
upon it indicate that it has existed for
a very considerable length of time, one
of them measuring nearly three feet in
diameter. It is undoubtedly the work
of a race which once inhabited this
country, and probably antedated the
Indian tribes which were found here by
the early Bettlers. Like many simi
lar mounds which are scattered through
out the United States, principally in the
West, it may coo tain relics of its build
ers. This mound possessed, also, con
siderable historical interest in connec
tion with the Revolutionary War.? It
was used by the British as. a fort, and
called Fort Wat sod. A stockade was
constructed around the summit, and
with the inferior weapons which were
possessed in those days, was regarded
as quite a stronghold. Gen. Marion
finally captured it and its garrison of
one hundred and twenty men. The
rifle-pits which were dug by his men
are still in a state of perfect preserva
tion.
Tradition says that the British, being
cut off from their supply of water, dug
a well in the fort, and by means of an
underground communication with Scott's
Lake, supplied themselves for a consid
time before capitulating. The State
joes not contain a more beautiful natu
ral landscape than in the vicinty of this
lake. The green and level earth, the
branching live oaks festooned with
Spanish moss, conspire with the lake to
render a most beautiful picture.
Guiteau Writes Another Letter.
Washington, May 19.?Guiteau has
addressed the following letter to the
Star for publication :
Tell the American people and its offi
;ials,-from the Executive down to the
jourt in banc, who are reviewing my
3ase, that I tell the truth 'and lie not*
when I say I am God's man in the mat
ter of President Garfield's removal and
that if a hair on my head is harmed the
Almighty will make the officials that do
it pay well for it. If I was outside I
[rould lecture, uuder the auspices of
some bureau, on religious subjects.
One of my subjects would be, 'Paul,
the Apostle, and Kindred Topics.'
[f my time has come to leave this world
[ am willing ; but I want the officials
:hat murder me on the gallows to un
derstand the issue. If they murder me
:hey will incur the wrath of Almighty
Glod and it will be a long time before
3e lets up on them and this nation.
The devils that crucified the despised
SaUlean thought they were doing
jlod's service ; but that did not release
hem from, liability. They, and .their
jation incurred the wrath of the Al
nighty by that act, and he got even with
hem at the destruction of Jerusalem,
inc. he will get even with this nation
ind the officials if I am murdered on
be gallows. I want an unconditional
>ardon or nothing, and I want the Exe
cutive to so understand it. I have set
'orth my views, fully on this in my
>ook, 'The Truth and the Removal.'
if the honorable jurists representing
he Washington court iu banc decide
his case according to the law, there is
inly one decision they can make and
bat is that they have no jurisdiction,
if they decide contrary to the law the
natter will rest with President Arthur
nd they will have incurred the wrath
?f Almighty God.

GUITEAU TO BE HANGED.
Washington, May 20.?The unani
mous decision of the District Supreme
Court on the questi as raised by the
defense in the Guiteau case will be an
nounced on Monday. Judge James has
prepared the opinion of the courtaud the
draft of it will to-morrow be submitted
for final approval of its phraseology to
all the judges. The Post of to-morrow
will give the following as the points of
the decision :
The opinion of the court will broad
ly sustain the position taken by the
District-Attorney, that the jurisdiction
is complete where the fatal blow was
struck without regard to the locality of
actual demise. The court holds that
the bullet fired at the President by
Guiteau on the 2d of July at the rail
road station in this city was the cause
of his death and that the trial could'
only have been held in Washington,
and that the mere fact of the victim
being removed to Elberoo to prolong
his life or savent if possible could not
be made to affect the character of the
crime. The court will hold, in addition,
that, there are several grounds on which
the jurisdiction as exercised, might be
maintained if it were necessary to decide
the case.'
'Considerable anxiety bas been ex
pressed as to the action of the Supreme
Court of the United States, it being
announced that an application would be
made to that body by defendant's coun
sel for a writ of habeas corpus. There
are now only two justices of that court
in the city?the court having adjourned
for the term?Chief-Justice Waite and
Justice Miller. The best legal authori
ties doubt whether such a writ conld
be granted by the full court in session,
and it is not believed that any sin
gle Judge will take the responsibili
ty of passing upon so important a ques
tion when it is recalled that the court
was in session for three months , after
the sentence of death was passed. It
may, therefore reasonably be concluded
that Guiteau will hang as sentenced,
and that there is no earthly hope for
him.'
The Post adds : 'After the delivery
of the opinion the prisoner will be taken
at once to a solitary cell in the jail
where he is now confined and placed
under the death-watch. Every action
will be observed up to the fatal moment
and not a word will be permitted to be
spoken to him except by his spiritual
adviser or by persons specially author
ized by the Warden, General Crocker,
who has entire charge of and responsi
bility for the assassin from this time on
until his dead body is ready to be con
signed to the doctors for a post-mortem
examination.'
District-Attorney Corkhill has deter
mined upon an examination of the brain
of the assassin by a <board of the most
eminent medical experts in the United
States,to put at rest, as be believes-by
such examition forever the question of
his sanity. After the autopsy the body
will be delivered to bis relatives.
