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. WM.BOGIN, - P. J. O'DONNELL, " D. ROSEN DORP, - J. C. McGUINNIS, E. P. R?CKER, Z. E. WALKER, G. F. EPPERSON, 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. ' _ State Democratic Convention. In accordance with a resolution adopt ed at the recent meeting of tbe Demo cratic Executive Committee in Colum bia, the following call has been issued: Rooms of the State Democratic Executive ^Committee, Columbia, S. C, May 19, 1882. A Convention of tbe Democratic par ty of South Carolina will assemble at Columbia on Tuesday, tbe 1st of Au gust proximo, at 12 o'clock M., in the hall of the House of Representatives, to nominate candidates for State officers and to transact such other buiness as the Convention may deem proper.

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. )hio Immigrants for -South Caro lina.

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. No- Claim on Missourri. Jenkins was travelling in Missouri last year before the .Presidential elec tion and in the right car across from him two men were arguing as to the probable result of the election. Says one : 'Hancoock's the man.' 'No, sir ; Garfield'll get it,' was the reply. Suddenly an Adventist sitting be hind them spoke up and said : 'My friends, do you know who is going to be our next President V It is the Lord, who is coming at once with his angels to reign.' 'Quick as thought Jenkins, imagin ing that some third party candidate had been mentioned, sprung 00 slapped the Millerite on the shoulder, and cried out : 'Bet you twenty-five dollars he don't carry Missouri. -> I Revitalizing the blood is.absolutely necessary for the cure of general debility, weakness, las situde, &c.
