rbe suffering Poor in Edgefield.


The Rev. ]. P. BoDIE writes timely letter
conc crnins the wants and woes Of many poor and
helpless people throughout our District. lie
speak, more particularly, however, of those in
hi. own immediate scction. Such revelation
should excite the sympathy and stimulate the
charity of f-crery one. If, seeing our neighbor
suffer, We are able 20 do so and help him not, let
u, no more say. "Lord, thou knOHest all things,
thou kuouest that love thee." And eren IN
these evil days, hero are thousands and thousands
and thousands in the South who are still abun-
dantly able to help poor neighbor
But VIC confidently hope that period uitTery
soon be put to all this suffering and want. There
IL the overwhelming raest crop. Surely, in this
one respect at least, many can src of their abuu-
dance. And we read too that on tho 4th OF the
present month, the ship Fsreryor, loaded with
provisions by the Southern Relief COmnissO''
sailed from from New York for > Southern port
And that even since then, the sspe Commission
has shipped eight thousand bushels of corn to
Charleston and Savannah FOR distribution in tho
interior.
AS to our reverend friends suggestion that we
l..ve part of our ta1.s unpaid in order to help
the poor his zeal and his philanthropy hurry him
away. Law Is Law. Our taxes are ptilessly one
rou., but it is not for any of US, individually, and
iu our capacity as private citizens, to alter the
tax laTs.

The release OF Jefferson Davis has plunged

of the reputation Ct the nationa! debt. There
have been thcss who hive predicted all along
that the time was surely coming when the

to the startling fact that Of the voters in the

or five million are concerned in submittingto
no more taxes to pay the interest. on those
bonds. They asserted that scmc iemagogue
would arise who would purchase his way to
power by appealing to the interests OF fle
bondess millions. 1t seems as if that most
