Hand 1t Round!

To the Editor of the News:
One Of the county officers of this State is
now preparing his account against the tax
payers, and the writer was favored with
glimpse Of it. It amounted to $3.50, and the
officer said it was only half fnishedl Now what
do you imagine this account was for =? 1t was
for sheriffs' nIila bona costs on tax executions
issued against negroes. One scarcely knows
whether to laugh or groan. The white people
have not only to pay all the taxes, but in sin-
gle county, 80 called, will have to pay $500
more for sheriff's costs incurred in not being
able to collect anything from the negroes.
Now, reader, look againl There are hun
dreds of them in Columbia, taking out Of the
taxes that the white people pay six dollars for
every day they squat like toads in consultation
how they shall divide the money that they
force the white people to pay.
Put it into transparency and hand it round
over the whole civilized world, that it may be
known, from pole to pole, the humiliation that
the Government Of the United States demands
from the white people to the negro.
We wish to do the poor creatures justice,
but we shudder at the spectacle Of Lawmakers
for the future government Of Carolinas sons.
Can any good emanate from the counsels OF
the representatives of an unintellgent min
ority
Oh for lodge in some vast wilderness, &c.

TIE CASE OF CORONER WALKER.-The Ph@-
nix gives the following particulars in regard
to the appeal to be taken from the decision of
MIR. Justice Willard, in the case of Coroner
Walker, Of Columbia
After the hearing Of the Injunction, the coun-
sci for the respondent said 10 the court, that
the gentleman who (mis) represents the State
might take just such order as he pleased.
They would make no further opposition at this
time. They would require until Wednesday
morning to prepare thei' grounds Of appeal.
The effort of the counsel tor the respondent
has been to shape the case SO as to get it up
before the Supreme Court of the United States.
We are informed that what appears to the un-
in tiated to be easy work, ls not very easy
uuder the acts Of Congress aud the ruling OF
the Supreme Court. We trust that the facts
NAV be so moulded as to take the case up.
The points. as presented, are as follows : - :,
/. A ouo t1arrdnt0 ls served upon MIR. Walk
er the Coroner.
q. He responds, and exhibits his commits
sion and the Constitution of 1850, and the
amendments thereto, and the Acts OF the
Legislature Of South Carolina.
8. W. B. Johnston replies, and shows MS
commission and election und,r the new negro
Constitution Of 1868.
4. rhomas T. W,lEer rejoins, that the sup
posed Constitution Of 1868 is no constitution
andls in conflict with the Constitution Of the
United States.
If this couflict can be shown, the Supreme
Court will entertain jurisdiction upon the
ground That law of tho State is in conf ct
with the Constitution OF the Un ted >tales.
Aud this has been clearly shown Ill the argu-
ment. 1t may be necessary, however. to SUBJ
NIT the question first to the Supreme Court of
the State, and from that opinion take the case
up.

A NOVEL STYLE OF SoAEFoIDNe.-The new
store of Messrs. Welch & Brandes, now in course
Of erection on East Bay, opposite the Custom
house, is rapidly approaching completion.
Messrs. Walter Cade and Albert Elie, the COZ
trsctors, have adopteda new species Of scat
folding, which, though made after an old
English plan, has never been used in this city
before. The uprights are composed OF four
pieces OF scsntling firmly screwed together,
80 as to form hollow parallelogram, with
blocks at fixed distances on which to rest the
Cross pieces. This style Of scafolding not
only combines strength and durability, but OBJ
viates the necessity for digging holes in the
sidewalk, as it stands firmly .on it's own base.
When the walls are completed the uprights
can be removed in sections and retained for
future use. Z. :;3-. - - 3. .-'-.i

RADICAL MEErNa.-An extensive Republican
pow-wow was held on Tuesday night, at Liber-
ty Hall, in Morris-street. The building WAS
densely crowded with q dusky audience, but
few whites being present. Addresses were de-
hvered By R. q. Cain and G. @. Bowen. The
former spoke at some length, and treated his
audience to disquisition on the Slate finan'
ces, showing that South Carolina had not only
the assets Of the Bank of the State, but held
sundry mortgages on various property, both in
Charleston and elsewhere. He said that this
would be speedily looked into, and all Of such
securities, both in this country and Europe
Amounting to millions-would be fold, and
money obtained to pay the Legislature. The
intimation was given that the State was by no
means bankrupt, that the Democrats knew
where the money was concealed, but that the
Republicans would stir the matter up with
long pole, and would soon unearth the hidden
treasure. Bowen followed in somewhat the
same strain, urging the party to organize and
counselIing moderation. Some Of the lesser
lights, both white and colored, also gave their
experience. The speeches are represented by
q recent convert to Repubhcanism to have
been conservative, and the proceedings quiet
and orderly.

A CENoTAPH TO TIE MEMORY Oh THE LATE
Rev. PATRICx O'NEM.-The vestry Of St.
Patrick's Church have erected mural tablet
to the memory Of their former pastor, the Rev.
Patrick O'Neil, who, for nearly thirty years,
had the spiritual charge of that congregation.
This monument was placed in position yester-
day, on the north wall Of the church, near the
chancel. and is exceedingly neat and chaste in
design. e slab Of highly polished black mar
bic forms the base on which is raised an orna-
mental white marble slab surmounted by two
segments of circle. The arch thus formed
is divided, and from the top springs white
marble cross. A harp entwined with the
shamrock is carved at the base Of the cross.
On the white face Of the tablet ls shield Of
black marble, on which is inscribed in letters
Of gold:

A Native OF Newtown Hunt,
Parish OF Thomaston,
County of Kilkenny, Ireland.

Died 10Th January, 1865.
The design was furnished by MIR. j. a..
Devereau1, and the sculpture by Messrs. D. a.
Walker & Co. It is fitting token OF venera-
ton to the memory of one who, by a lifetime Of
zeal for and devotion to his flock, proved him
sell, indeed, good shepherd.
