All Eyes are Turned Toward Port Royal. Palmetto Post. lt is Dot too much to say that the eyes of the whole country are studying oat and are fixed upon the site of what may probably be the Navy Yard for the ? South Atlantic coast. The best assu? rance that it is likely to be Port Royal rather than Savannah or Brunswick is \ that co intimation has as yet leased j out as to which is likely to be selected, and no consequent boon: of a specula- j live nature l:as been started at the spot foreshadowed. It is the best commen? tary upon the honesty and integrity of the Commission charged with the selec? tion cf the best and most desirable place, that, they have not been specula- j ting either directly or indirectly in property in proximity of any site that they have doubtless pretty well deter? mined upon as best for the interests of the government of which they are the accredited agents We feel pure that Port Royal will be selected because it is not only the best place that can be made use of for the purpose, and the Commissioners are entirely free from any prejudice or bias likely to be exerted by dining and win? ing and paying them atteutiou. Go Slow! Woodrvjf Xevrs. We can't be uade to admire 'low tariff' as the alpha and omega of demo? cratic d= Crine. We doubt the advisa? bility of trenchant reduction of tue present tariff-we believe that such a reduction wjuld be a questionable beo e?t. We believe that the removal of the internal revenue system is of greater importance thau the lowering of the j tariff, because, while the high tariff, at j the most, is simply an insensible bur- ? den, the iuternal revenue system is a pestiferous caucer, constantly breeding lawlessness in the south-filling jails with offenders, courts with petty busi? ness and penitentiaries with convicts who can hardly be called criminals. We merely murmur at 'low tariff ! agitation, as a doubtful po'itical mea-1 sure : but we have no language strong | enough to denounce its importunate, in- J tolerant advocacy as a party measure iu the South. A Far-Reaching Reform. Greenville Metes. I There was much rejoicing in this ?State when Comptroller General Verner j published bis decision that the surplus ?of banks is liable to taxation, and in j ? that rejoicing we heartily joined. I: is | i to be doubted, however, if the joy ? would have been so general if the in? direct results of the decision could have I been foreseen. j As the matter is now, the heaviest j burden of taxatiou falls on two extremes of the population-the baukers and the ? very small property owners. What ' they have is visible and can not be hid ! The bank publishes a statement ?.'fits ! condition from which everybody eau I kara v:hat it has ; the poor man who j has ox-Ax a burse or a cow or a few i j acre- of land is likewise naked before j the assessor. He must use - what be j has in his daily work and living It is too little in value to give him margin for scaling down on percentages, fie must pay in full. Important to Farmers. Ch ir U ?ton World. j Every farmer iu Souih Carolina as ! well as in every other Stats in the j Union, will next yrar be called upon j I by a government official in the services ! i of the Census Bureau, and asked to to give the statistics of his farm crops, stocks, etc., for the previous year, which is the present one of 18S0. To be prepared io answer those ques? tions intelligently ami satisfactory, everv las mer ought to begin now to i keep accurate accounts of all farm ope- I j rations, and continue it throughout the ! j year. j The agricultural statistics t>f this i country vyiil be gathered in this way j and the sum total of the result will J show the degree of prosperity attaiued j by every State and County. It is j therefore of the utmost importance to j each section and locality that, these J matters be correctly reported to the cen - ? ! sus takers. j I If. the farmers of South Carolina de- ! j sire to see this State take a deserved, j high rank among the producers of farm i products, they will take care to make I their very best exhibit when the repre ? sentative of the census makes bis an pearance some time in 1800. Tlie Pickels Lynchers. Lancaster i.^ig-r. ! Gov. Richardson has granted a res < pit?' to Harrison Hayward and W. C j Williams, convicted Pickens knobers, [ sentenced to be handed next Friday, j until April 10-h tu order to give the j matter the most careful investigations j Some eighteen colored men, constituting a committee in the matter of securing executive clemency in their case, waited on the Governor Ia**! Thursday 3nd read a somewnat lengthy address, ask? ing full pardon for the two men on the ground that they bad been incited to thc deed by others of more intelligence, who had escaped punishment. It vr i? j also stated that the two men had al , ready been in jail fifteen months, a 1 greater punishment than had ever been ! inflicted on any lynchers in this State I before. The committee also presented j a huge stock e?f peti-ion? in their be i half fro;n almost every county in the ; State. There is a popular feeling I throughout the State even among the ; whites ?n tavor of the (ioveruors using j executive clemency towards these poor j misguided, misled and unfortunate i n'-irrn?-.?: WP would be glad to soe . them granted free pardon. Pryor and Protection. j\ fiihevitle Medium. lu ger A. Pryor has no right t>> ex ! press any sentiment for the Southern : people. He has not lived this side <>{' New York in twenty-four years and a new generation has come upon the stage j of action. He has less right to speak ; for ihf- men who fought the war through, j At the battle of Sharnsturg he ha l command of a brigade. The story j among the soldiers then went that his j conduct was such that Gen. Lee never ?suffered him to have another command during the War. He was around P. Hill's headquarters at Petersbi as a kind of '"independent scout7' goi aod coming as he pleased. A sb time before the fall of Petersburg came to the picket line of McGowa brigade and crossed over pretecsivi to get news about the Yankees, waved a newspaper at a Yankee ofSc They met between the line, couveri for some time Pryor locked ar with him and walked into the lines the enemy. He turned his back on ( Virginia, his own State and everythi Southern. He left his people io t darkest hour in the face of the enet who had their cannon trained on t city where he had left his wife. We know this to be true for the ei tor of the Medium wrote out for Ge Lee the full particulars of his deserti as it was narrated by Lieut. Heeder Orr's Rifles who was in command the part of the picket line where t desertion took place. Roger A. Pryor is no more the e ponent of Southern sentiment th Benedict Arnold was of Americ liberty. Prosperity. Pickens Sentinel We have never seen in this couo more substantial, or more encouragit ^tgrjs of solid prosperity The farmet almost to a man, are striking from ti shoulders for success. Economy, i dustry and thrift stand on almost eve farm to salute us as we pass. Nev before have the farmers of Picket Couuty moved off as solidly and energetically. Nothing but cyclon and freshets can keep them dowi The man who stood up last fall ar said farming in Pickens County wou not pay. has gone to work with a wil and while working became converted the opposite view. This year's harve will prove that Pickens County mc and muscle cannot be pushed from ti bridge. Nothing in the Way. Florence Times. The Times states authoritatively t? day that the Bank of Florence wi take all the bonds necessary to bore a Artesian Well in this city. Now, th really removes all obstacles and insur< the boring of the Well, which is grat fy i i? g information indeed, and to no on more particularly than to the Ti m e? which has worked so long and so eai nestly for this beneficial thing. Prompt Action by the Governc! Watetet Missengar. The prompt action cf Govern. Richardson in taking steps to prever; thf^ lynching of four York ville pris?, ners, now confined iu the Columbi jail, commends itself to all lovers ( law and good order. These men wi! have to be carried in a short time * York county for trial, and grave fear have been expressed," that when the reach that county, they will be de prived of their ?ives without legal in vestigation by persons wno will be ; law unto the?sseive? Acts of violenc< and illegality are greatly io be depre cased. They do us harm at. home ao< abroad. Many outsiders are prone ti regan! South Carolina as a State when deeds of lawlessness can be and art committed with perfect impunity And one lynching may give us a rep utation for violence, that Iccg years o peace cannot redeem. Let these prisoners have a fair anc impartial trial. If they are guilty they will certainly be punished, ato the maj-sty of the iaw will be vindi cated. But until their crimes are fastened upon them by due process o law, let them be protected by thai grand old legal maxim, that ever) man ii presumed to be innocent of ar offence, until he has been proved guilty thereof raLia|i??i,?.(i By IL EIDER HAGGARD. 1COXTIXUED.] CHAPTER XXXIX. BUT NOT TO LKD. Harold glanced at the clock-it. was nearly 1 in thc- morning-time to go to bed if he was j going. But ho did cot feel inclined to go to ! bed. If he did, with this great discovery on j his mind, he should not, sleep. There was j another thing; it was Christmas eve, or ; rather Christmas day, tho day of Ida's an l.swer. If any succor was to be given at all j it must be given at once, before the fortress i had capitulated. Once let the engagement ! be renewed, and even if tho monty should j subsequently bo forthcoming, the diiScuitiea I would be doubled. Dat there; be Was build j ing his hopes ai-on sand and he knew it. ! Even sut posing that he held in his hand thc ' key to tho burial place oi' the long lost treas j ure, who knew whether it would r>?U be lhere, j or whether rumor had not enormously added : t Hts proportions* ii?? was allowing his hopes j and his imagination to carry him away, j Still he could not sleep, and he had a mind [to see if anything contd be. made cfit. Ho ing t> tho i_I?Zi room, he* pit. ona pair o? ' shooting boots, cn bid coat and ah ulster. Ncxtho provided himself, with a dar!: lout -rn ; and the key of the summer house nt thc top j of Dead linn's Mount, anti silently mooching ! the back door, started out into the garden: I The night was very rough, for the great gide ; was now rising fast, and bitterly cold, so cold that he hesitated for a moment l>eforc uiak j ing up his mind togo <,n. Ilowevcr, he did ? go on, and in another two minot's- was ! climbing /the steep-sides of the great tumulus. : There was a wau moon in the cold sky - the i wind whistled most drearily through the 1 naked houghs of thy great oaks, which groaned tn -answerdike things in pain, liar j old was not a nervous or impressionable j man, but the place had a spectral 1 ..<.'-. about j ir., and he could not help thinking of the < vii : reputation it L':d borne for ;.!i t ?i*ages. There was scarcely a man in Ilonham, or in ' Boisinghani <i?!,'-r. who could have been per? suaded to stav half au hour by himself < :\ Dead Man's Mount after the sun was well down. U.-.roId hud at different times asked , one or two of them what they s:;w t?> In? fi fr.-: ?.I i.f. and they had a nsw? re. i tl.ot ;: v. a.-> not what th? y saw soimich ;. ? wuui they (?it. : Be ha?l laughed at the time, but now he ad j mitt"d to himseli that he was anything but : comfortable, th? ugh ?; he had had to put bis feelings into w. rds he could probably not have described ibero further tnan l y saying that ho had a general sensation of son:e> body twing behind him. However, he was cot going to i>e fri ri i tuned by this nonsense, so, consigning nit sup? rstitions to their farber the (h'v.l. Le mai ched <-i boldly and uni' ?eked thesummer bouso door. Now, though this curious edifice bad been designed forasutn mer house, and i'"r that purpose lined ihrougbont with encaustic tiles, nobody as a matter of fact had ever dreamed < f using it to sit in. To begin with, it roofed overa great degression some thirty feet or more in j diameter, f?jr the top of the mount was hoi- j lowed out like ene of those wooden cups e. pon 1 which jugglers catch balls. But, notwith? standing all the encaustic tiles in the world, damp will gather in a hollow like this, and the damp alone was an objection. The real fact was, however, that the spot had an evil j reputation, and even thoso who wore suf? ficiently well educated to know the folly of this Kort of thing would not willingly have gone there for purposes of enjoyment So it ? bad suffered the general fate of disused places, having fallen more or lemont of r> , pair and become a receptacle for garden j tools, broken cucumber frames and lumber of various sorts. Harold got tue door open and entered. Harold got the door open and entered, shutting it behind him. it was, if anything, more disagreeable in the empty silence of the wide pl;2.ce. U-r the space roofed over was considerable, than it had been outside, and the question at once arose ia his mind, what was he to do now that'be had got there? If the treasure was thereat all, probably it was deep down in the bowels of the great mound. Weil, as he was on the spot, he thought that he might as well have adig, though probably nothing would come of it. In the corner were a pickax and some spades and shovels. Harold got them, advanced to the center of the space, and, half laughing at his own folly, set to work. First, having lighted another lantern which was kept there, ho removed with the sharp end of t!:o pickax a large patch of the encaustic tiles exactly in the center of the depression. Then, having lor-s encd the sod beneath with the pick, he took o?? his ulster and fell to digging with a will. The soil proved to be very sandy and easy to work. Indeed, from its appearance, he soon came to thc conclusion that it was not virgin earth, but worked soil, which had been thrown there. Presently his spado Strock agamst"sometbing hard: he picked it up and held it to the lantern. Jt proved to be an an? cient spear head, and near it wera somo bones, though whether or no they were hitman he eould not at the time de? termine. This was very interesting, but it was scarcely what ho wanted, so ho dug on manfully until ho found himself chest deep in a kind of grave. Ho had been digging foran hour nov.-, and wa? getriug wry tired. Cold as it was, the per-piration poured from him. As he paused for breath he heard the church clock strike two, and very solemnly it sound? ed down the wild ways of the wind turn winter night. He dug on a little more, and then seriously thought of giving up what he was somewhat ashamed of having under? taken. How was he to account for this great hole to his gardener on the following morn? ing? Then and there he made up his mind that he would not account fer ir.. Tue gardener, in common with the rest of the vil? lage, believed that the place -vus haunted. Let bim ?et down th? hole to tue "spooks^ and their spiritual activity. Stili he dug on ut his grave for a little longer. It was by now becoming a matter of exceeding labor to throw the shovelfuls of soil clear cf the hole. Then he determined to stop, and with this view scrambled, not with? out di??culty, cut of the amateur tomb. Once out, his eyes fell on a stout iron crow? bar which was standing am enc: the other tools. >uch r.n implement as is used to make boles ::i tho earth wherein to st*: hurdles and stakes: und it occurred to him that ir. would : not be a bad idea to drive this crowbar into I tho bottom of the grave which he had dug, 1 in order to ascertain if there was anything within his reach. Accordingly he once moro j descended ir.ro the hole and began to work with tue iron crow, driving it down with all his strom-': h. When he had get it almost as deep, ns it would go, that is about three feet, it struck something-something hard-there j was "no doubt of it. Ile worked away in I great excitement, widening thc bole as much as he could. Yes, it was masonry, or if it was not masonry, it was something uncommonly liko it. Uo drew tho crow out of the hole, and, seizing tiie shovel, commenced to dig again j with renewed vigor. As he eould no longer ? conveniently throw the sui! from the hole ho too:: a .'sleep" or leaf basket, which lay handy, and placing it be%ide him, put as much of the sandy soil as he could lift into it, and then lifted it and shot it on the edge of the pit. : For three-quarters of an heur he labored thus most manfully, till at last he came down to lae stone work, ii" cleared a paten of it and examined ic attentively hythe light of the dark lantern, ir appeared to be rubble work, built in the form of au areh. ile struck it with the ir.-n crow and it gave bark a hollow sound.

Jiy their light an ! that of tb ? waning moon h>> strugg.'. d on in the teeth . f the raging tempest;. As he parsed under one of the oaks ho heard a mighty crack overhead; sud guessing what it was ran liken hare. He v .as none too soon. A c.reidar gust of more than usual fierceness? had twisted the top right out of the great tree, and down it carno Upon the turf with a rending, crashing sound that made his blood turn cold. After this escape he avoided tho neighborhood of the groaning trees. George lived in a neat little farm house about a quarter of a mile away. There was a short cut to it across the fields, and this he took, breathlessly fighting his way against the gale which swept, and roared, and howled in its splendid might as it came leaping across tho ocean from its birthplace in the distances of air. Even the stiff hawthorne fences towed before its breath, and the tail poplars on the sky line beat like a rod beneath the fresh rush of a salmon. Excited as ho was, tho immensity and grandeur of the sight and sounds struck upon him with strange and awful force. Never before had he felt so far apa>-t from man, and so near to that dread Spirit round whose feet millions.cf rolling worlds rush on for? ever, at whose word they are, endure, and are not. Lie struggled on until at lest he reached the house. It was quite silent, hut in one of the windows a "light was buming. No doubt its occupants found it impossible to sleep in that wild gale. The next thing to consider was how to make himself heard. To knock at the door would be useless in that turmoil. There was only one thing to be done-throw stones at the window. Ho found a good sized pebble, and, standing underneath, threw it with such good will that it went right through tho glass, lighting, as ho after? ward heard, full upon Mrs. George's sleeping nose, and nearly frightening that good woman, whoso nerves were already shaken by the gale, into a fit. Nest minute a red night cap appeared at the window. "George," roared the colonel in a lull of the gale. "Who's there?" came the faint answer. "Me-Col. Quaritch. Come down. I want to speak to you." The head was withdrawn, and a couple of minutes afterward Harold saw thc front dcor begin to open slowly. He waited till there was space enough and then slipped in, and together they forced it to. "Stop a bit, sir," said George; "PH light the lamp," and he did. Next minute he stepped back in amaze? ment. ''Why, what on 'arth hov you bin after, sir?" he said, contemplating Harold's filth begrimed face, and hands, and clothes. "Is anything wrong up at tho castle, cr is the cottage blowr. down?1 "No, no," said Haro'd; "listen. You've heard tell of the treasure that old Sir James de la Molle buried ia the times of the Round? heads." "Yes. yes. I have heard teil of that. Eev the gale blown it spp "No, but by heaven I believe that I am in a fair way to find it!" George tock another step back, remember? ing the talcs that Mrs. Jobson had told, and not being by any means sure that the colonel was not in a dangerous condition of lunacy. "Give mo a glass of something to drink, water or milk, and I'll tell you. I've been digging all night, and my throat's like a limekiln. " "Digging, why. wheref "Wherei In Dead Man's Mount." "In Dead Man's MountP said George. "Weil, blow mevif that ain't a funny place to dig at on a night Uko this." and, loo amazed to say anything more, he went oil to get tho milk. Harold drack three glasses without step? ping, and then sat down to tell as much of his moving taie a-, he thought desirable. CHAPTER XL. KOW THE NIii ITT WENT. George sat opposite to him, his hands on his knees, tho red night rap on his hoad, and a comical expression of astonishment upon his melancholy countenance. "Well," he said, when Harold had done, "blow me if that ain't a master one. And ret there's folks who say that there ain't no such thing as Prowidcnce-not that there's anything t rowided yet-pYaps there air.'; K&W lin,ig lhere, after ail.."1 "I don't know if there is or not, but i'm going back to see, and 1 want you to come with me now." "Now?" said George, rather uneasily. "Why, colonel, that hain't a very nice spot to go digging about in on a night like this. I uiver heard no good of that there place-not as I holds by sich talk myself,11 he added, apologetically. "Well," said the colonel, "you can do as you like, but I'm going hack at once, and going down the hole too; thc gas must be out j of it by now. There are reasons," he added, I "why, if this rooney is to bo found at ali, it should be found this morning. Today is Christ nu-.-day, you know." "Ye*, yes. colonel; I know what you mean. Bless you, I know all aboutit.; tho old squire must talk to somebody; if kc don't he'd bust; so he talks to me. That Ccssey's coming for his answer from Miss Ida this morning. Poor young Indy, I saw her yesterday, and she looks like a gfrjii, she du. Ah, he's a mean one, that Co.--cy. Laryer Quest warnt in it with him, aft; r ali Well, I eookM his goose for hi::'., and I'd give summitt to have a hand in cooking that banker chap's too. You wait a minute, colonel, and I'll come along, gale and ghostesses arni all. I only hope it mayn't be after a fool's errand, thats all;" and ko retired to put on his boots. Presently he- ap? peared again, his red night cap still on his head-for he was afraid, that the wind would blow a hat u.T-and carrying an unlighted lantern in his hand. 'Now, colonel, I'm ready, sir, if you bc;" and they started. Tho gale was, if anything, fiercer than ever. Indeed, there had been t:o snell tem? pest in those- parts for year.:, or rather cen? turies, as the condition of the timber by 10 o'clock that morning amply testified. "This here wind must be like that cs the squire tells us on in tho time of liing Charles, as blew tho top of the church tower oil* on a Christmas night," shouted George; I ?tit Har? old made no answer; and they fou; lit the:r way onward without speaking air?" more, for their voices worealmos? inaudible. Unce the colonel stopped and poiuad to the slty linc.

"Ye-*." answered ?-eorgo. in a doubtful Tole?, and Harold, looking dowa, could seo that ho was holding tho lan lera abovo Ids head and staring at something very hird. Next moment a most awful howl of terror echoed up through tho pit, the lantern was dropped upon tho ground, and the ro?>e com? menced to be agitated with ibo utmost vio? lence. In another two seconds George's red night? cap appeared through the hole, followed by a face that was literally livid with terror. .'Let ?rte up. for God's sake," he gasped, "or he'll hov me by the leg!'' "Ile! who?" asked thc colonel, not without a thrill of superstitious fear, as he dragged the panting man through tho hole. But George would give no answer until ho was through the hole and out of the grave. Indeed, Lad it not been for the colonels eager entreaties, backed to some extent by actual force, ho would have been out ot' tho summer house and half way'dov,:; the mount by now. "What is iii" roared tho colonel, in tho hole, to George, who, shivering with terror, was standing cn I'ne edge thereof. 'TL'S a blessed ghost, that's what it is, colonel,'' answered George, keeping his eyes fixed upon the hoi?, as though he momen tarihT expected to see thc object of his fears emerge. ..Nonsense.1' said Harold, doubtfully. "What rubbish you talki "What sort cf a ghost?" "A white un," said George; "all bone3 like." "All bones?"'answered the colonel; "why, it must bc a skeleton," "i don't say that he ain't," was thc answer: "but if he be, he's seven foot high, and sit? ting airing of hisself in a stone bath." "Oh, rubbish!'' said tho colonel. "H^w can a skeleton sit and air himself/ Ile would tumble to bits/' "i don't know: but there ho is; and they don't cali this piaco Dead flan's Mount for uuwtbing." " Well," SJ id the colonel, argumentatively, "a skeleton is a perfectly harmless thing." "Yes, if he's cl ad, may bc, sir; but this one's ahve; i saw him nod bis head at me." "Look here, George," answered Harold, feeling that ir this went on much longer he should lose his nerve u!:o~elker, "i'm not going to be scared. Great heavens, what a gusti I'm going down to see for mj'soif." "Very good, colonel," answered George: "and I'd wait here till you come up again that is. if vou iver du." Thrice did Harold look at tho bolo, and | thrice, like false Sextus, did he shrink back, j "Come/" ho shouted, angrily, "don't bo an I infernal foci; get down herc and hand mo j the lantern." George obeyed with evident trepidation. Then Harold ?ot through tho hole, and with many an inward t:v:nor-far there u scarcely a man on tho carib who is really freo from supernatural fears - descended h: nd over hard. Eat in so doing he managed to Let tho lantern fal!, and ii went out.
