Hirsch ni eyer, who is io soVitreed the Rev. J. J. Monagkas as pastor of St. Mary's Catholic rjtrurch, ip this city, is expected ta arrive this bveoing. The new priest is a Dative of Germany, and began bis- education io that country, bating obtained the de? gree of Ph. D. in a German university. He came to this country and completed his training for the priesthood in the Bec?inary at Troy, New Yprk, Upon leaving tbe seminary tbs young prisst volunteered for service io thia diocese. He went to Charleston, was ordained by Bishop Northrop and be? came assistant pastor of St. Joseph's Ob *reb. He filled at the same time the position of superintendent of the Catholic schools to the city He then went to Beaufort, where he hzs very successfully and acceptably served for the past year and a half. He comes directly from Beaufort here. Last Sunday at St. Mary's the fiev. faiher Monaghan made a parting talk to his congregation, expressing his deep regret at the necessity which had arisen for bis going away and alluding wk i much feeling to the sincere pleas? ure that had accrued to brm during his five years' service of the church. Father Monaghan goes to his new charge, the Cathedral ?a Charleston, on - Tuesday. The Dew placer hs au impor? tan- one, and bis apportaient to it came as a great surprise. Besides being pastor of the Cathedral, Father Monaghan will bc chancellor to the Diocese and sectary to Bishow North- ! rop. Though his congregation here and his other charges in this section part ttltb bim with* rSuch regret, they are pleased ta see his rapid advancement in the ranks of the clergy. Anderson intelligencer'. Oat esteemed friend, Mr. . J C. Gantt, of the Fork, came to the *eity last Saturday for the purposes of pay? ing his taxes, and while conversing with bim shoat taxes, crops, etc., he exhibited ta us a tax receipt of bis father's for the year 1849. The re eeipt was for taxes paid on 352 acres of land, and was divided as follows : State, 30 cents and 1 mill ; Road, 3 cents and 8 mills ; Poor, 4 Cents and 3 mills ; Public Buildings, 1 cent and 5 mills.; making a total of 39 cents and 7 mills. The receipt was written on plain white paper, and was signed by R. N. Wright, Tax Collector. Mr. Gaott owns 317 acres of the same land, and the taxes an it this year amounts to $19.40. This is a big difference. In 1849, Mr. Gantt informed us, there was no tax on personal property There was also no assessment of property then. Land Was divided nto three grades, and when ! a man went to pay his taxes, he was ask? ed how much land he possessed and what grad-: it was, and bis tax receipt was made out accordingly. Tbe County Com? missioners received no pay far their ser? vices then. When they met at the Court House, the only expense thc County bad was to furnish each of them with a dinner Wonder how many men there are in the County to-day who would be willing to serve as Commissinoners for ; the same wages 1 Those were good old days, aod we doubt if our taxes will ever again be as low as they were then. More or Lees. j Laurens Advertiser. A very intelligent old gentleman, Mr. i?vaas, of Darlington, introduced a resolution in the *Old Farmers Con? vention'to the effect that one of the causes of the present financial depres? sion among farmers, is, 'too much credit' In fell agricultural districts, a certain amount of credit is necessary, but we believe Mr. Evans has struck the true cause of a large proportion of tbe fail tires of farmers. When credit is so easy, that laborers can act independently of landlords, and landlords are allowed to spend all they make before the crop is in the ground, we may expect little else than general depression. The trouble is not so much in the laws of the State as tn the practice of oar people. There is an element in this State clamoring for greater credit. To obtain it, they want the homestead abolished. Now, how does this comport with the abc ve resolution ? Do the farmers-the overshadowing majority of our people ask that the homestead provision be taken* 'from oar constitution, or is it the merchants and Shylooks who thus clamor. Clinton Enterprise. It is strange that some people pre? tend tb-it they can't understand the meaning of the 'strange behavior' that Bbaracterized the public meeting at Barnwell the other day. We don't see mytbiog strange about it. The farm? ing classes are in sympathy with Mr. Tillman, instead of with Senator Yoe? mans, who has been opposing the in? terests of this class of his constituents 5ver sinco he has occupied.the office of Senator. They simply didn't care to lear him speak. ' It may be considered j i very rough and ill-mannered way of squelching a man, but there is no mis ;ake about its being a most effectual, (ray of sitting down on a fellow. We bink thene simple farmers ought to bc ?xcused for hissing Mr. Youmans, and n not allowing him to speak ; for some low or other their simple minds are im- j pressed with the fact that this sort of )rocedure| once had a salutary effect m a certain class of men whose speeches vere obnoxious to them in former years. The fact i H the boys fell into this little labit in 1676 ; and if this little instance lad happened eleven years ago these lame fellows who are now complaining ibout the way Mr. Youmans was treat id would be ready to stand up and ?wear that the man had had a fair show- : Dg. If this kind of action was good o purify the political atmosphere eleven fears ago, we see no reason why a little >f the same disinfectant would not serve \ good purpope inside of our own party. Columbia Record. How much, or how little, the Clinton Enterprise reflects thc sentiments of he good people of Laurens county, we io not undertake to say. How far any ?ortioo of the good people of South karolina will approve, or even excuse, anguage such as is employed in the stiele quoted, we cannot bave a doubt.

Tillman's followers must keep i those views to himself or be hooted and hissed and insulted io a public meeting. A Startling Comp?rlscrfi. Chester Bulletin. Our esteemed contemporary, the Keo wee Courier, makes the following com? parisoQ between the salaries paid State officers in various States. Tbe exhibit is a startling one, to Sfcjr tfre least of it ? Let us take two States, Sooth Caro? lina and Georgia, and see how they stand by reports of salaries compiled w the American Almanac for 18-89* The salary of the Goverirot cf Georgia, '$ 3,000 Other State of?cers, 13.500 Salary Governor of Scwtfr Carolina, 3,500 Other Stete officers, 15,725 The Supreme Court Jtfrlge of Georgi*, 7,500 Three Supreme Court Judges of South Carolina, ~ 11,000 Circuit Judges in Georgia, each', 2,000 Circuit Judges in South Caro? lina, each, 3,500 Rate of State Tax in Georgia, 30c. on the 100 Rate of State Tax io Sooth Carolina, 55o. on the 100 We will mention a few other States : West Virginia pays her Governor a salary of $2.700. her Supreme Court Judges each $2,250. and her State tax is 30c. on tbe hundred dollars. Ver mont pays her Governor $1.090, ber Supreme Court Judges $2.500 each, and her rate of State tax is 10c OB the hundred dollars. Michigan, where the great agricultural college is located, pays ber Governor $1,000, and ber rate of State tax is Ile. on $100. Rhode Island pays ber Governor $1,000, and her State tax is 12c. on $100. Mis? sissippi pays her Governor $4.000, and ber State tax is 25c. on $100. New York pays her Governor $10,000, and ber State tax is 29c. oh $100. States differ widely in these matters, but in no other State do we find the rate of taxa tion as high as in South Carolina. Greenville Newt. The farmers of the county have a right to know why it is that a mis? take of a quarter of a million bales was made io the "official" estimates of the cotton crop. These esti? mates have been given out as autbori. tative, and they have kept dowo the price of the cotton crop. Almost at the close of the season it is discover? ed that the crop is short, and the price bas gone up rapidly. If statistics are to control tho price the farmers are to receive for their pro? duct, there ought to be some way to insure their accuracy. As it is. noth? ing is easier than for the compilers of crop statistics to play into the hands of the speculators. The producer suffers, tn any case whether the erro/ is care? lessly or maliciously made. The tobacco growers recently had to kick vigorously at the erroneous esti? mates of the national department. It is time for the cotton growers to protest now. Georgetown Time*. The report of the Grand Jury, which we published last week, shows the coun? ty to be in a bad financial condition. The County Commissioners made a clear showing as to the expenditures and suggested a remedy, which the Grand Jury endorsed and called it to the attention of t he Legislature. It is to be seen whether our Representatives will have the nerve to carry out the sugges? tion. The levy asked for is high, but when one compares tbe assessment with what it really should be, the levy is not so extravagant. Our mercantile inter? est of this town is not assessed one-half it should be, and the fault lies with ihe Board of Equal iza tion. Personalties generally are assessed too little. When the assessment on the property is lower than its real value? theo must the levy be increased. It should be remember? ed, that the poor people as a class ar* taxed to the extreme as what they have is assessed for its full value, while those who are blessed with a large share of this world's goods escape with a light tax. This should be remedied Thc Board of Equalization should do their duty, no matter who it displeases. The law requires all mortgages to be returned for taxes, and yet there are only three persons in this County, who return this class of property. Whose fault is this ? Life Tenure. Xeicberry Xezc? and Herald. t Yes, we have advocated, and we still believe in life tenure for Judges, but there should be a provision in such a law to retire Judges after they had served out their usefulness and become too old and feeble, physically, to dis? charge the business of the Courts, with? out unnecessary delay. We believe io life tenure because we want to see our Judges placed above the necessity'- of any political lobbying in order to retain their positions? and where they will not be under any politi? cal obligations to any man or set of men in order to retain their positions, but where their tenure of office will de? pend upon their fitness for the place aod a faithful discharge oi the duties inci? dent to the office. Wheo they become too old or too feeble to discbarge tho dattes of the office soy longer, let them be retired, 90t on full pay. bat with a reaioaable ?om^efenct for the reattrfadef of ttft?f Pe. ; t6^fef%ot befiere in working ?

With due respect for our frieooV we werai d dissent from the opio too? ts** pressed. The life'-ten ore tod the 're? tirement with a reasonable competency for the remainder of their life/ is acola ef ftfoded idea- which is inconsistent w'uH Democratic principles, and contrary vt all Democratic ideas of government. There is perhaps more sooth humbuggery associated with the of Judge than is associated with a?/ other oSce-or with all other officer/ Why this is so; we arc nuable to tell. If our friend the News and Herald end give one goocr" reason for retiring Judge* on a competency for life, that would sot apply to the Governor of the State, tb* Sheriff of the county, or the Circuit So-* licitor, we should like to hear it Does the oSfce of judge refaire a mort faithful di sc barge of doty tim tay other office?

And oo member of the General Ar? se m bly is trae to his constituents woo does not vote for the man who will make the best Judge, no matter whether he is in office or oat of it ? The people are entitled to the jerri* ces of the best men who are available, and no man bas a right to hold office, when a better man presents himself for the place. . The people of South Carolina are aol, going hack to the old way. They do. not propose to surrender their right to elect a better officer, if tbe incombent is objectionable or unfit. Williamsburg Herald. Somebody has done Mr. B. R. Till? man tbe honor of dabbing him 'protec? tionist.' Not a line written, not a word ottered, by that gentleman will fifa \ warrant or eolor for so ealliog bia? On the contrary Mr. Tillman baa agata and again.given forth sentiments that prove him folly alive to the pressure of thc tariff upon his people, aod show bb desire that the pressure should be re* lie ved. But Ben. Tillman ts not a rabid free* trader. Neither is any other man af average sense who gives the matter can-, did thought. What Mr. Trrrman doe* say is that the tariff is not the source of all the Southern farmers' woes. Ia this he ts moat incontestably right. The tariff that is most tb be charged with their financial depression ia that which they pay for Western cora and bacon. Western horses and malet? More than $50,000,OOO 00 is paid an? nually in the Sooth for imported bacon? notta say anything of the other thing* named, and on, nooe of which does tba tariff touch. Poor Ben Tillman. Poor Ben Tillman was utterly van* qaisbed, we are told, at Bare well, by Senator Youmans and at Marion by Mr. Johnson. He was skinned and flayed ar.d left without a leg to stand on. Yet it is an astonishing coincidence that at Barnwell the Senator9! own eoe* stHaeats refased to hear his reply to Tillman and cheered for that rooted gladiator all the evening, aod at Marjon Mr. Johnson's friends declined a propo-. ?i tien made by Tillman's friends to taxa a vote io the audience, after the debate, to decide the result of it. Marico it Mr. Johnson's own county. - Of course these things are smoothly, judiciously and satisfactorily explained. At Barnwell, we are told, Mr. Tillman, \ a stranger, had managed to gather a " party of roughs who overawed the great majority of Barnwell fermera wno tar? ?red the Barnwell Senator.;..and ai Marion only Mr. Tillman's friends re? mained to the end of the meeting, hts opponents having left for home because it was late. - Ben Tillman most find consolation for the horrible punishment he ht .re? ceiving ia the great luck he is baring.
