FIAT. "-Enoch, the poetastcr, is out
with a poetcal effu>ion on Abraham
Lincoln in which he speaks Of him as the
"pecr Of Washington and the first great
martyr placing him considerably above
the Savior and wailing his memory on a
harp Of million strings. This. like the
" Campaign Song which has given him
such notoric;y, is also an acrostic, and will
undoubtedly add considerably to his fame.
Below We give the last stanza, in which
the wag. who has induced Enoch to publish
this string Of nonsense under his name,
SUMS up his estimate of the poem and its
rcputcl author in the initial letters F-L.A-T :
'From the home of thy Projections,
Look down upon our cline,
And behold in our affections,
Thy monument sublime
His next issue will probably be flooded
with vul gar lcnuncations of the vile Cop
pcrhcad who has thus again imposed upon
his vanity and simplicity.

ION n Liberal Basis."

The Committee OF Ways and Means OF the
City Council suggest that the attorneys re-
tanned by the Clark administration to con-
test the election OF the present Mayor and
Aldermen were arranged with con u liberal
basis" And the committee recommend
that Mr.. Corbin, United States District At
torney, City Attorney and State Senator, be
paid three thousand dollars rs ia fair COM
pensation'' for securing q decision which
gave the present Mayor and Aldermen the
opportunity to make the City Hall grog-
shop, and to display in the Council Chamber
more than the rudeness OF ignorance and
more than the intoxication of power.
Now we happer to know that Messrs.
Porter, Miles and Barker, the counsel fol-
the Clark administration, were paid fee o
including the expenses OF professional visit
to Columbia. This points the moral Of the
tale. An arrangement on ga liberal basis
with three leading Charleston attorneys
who conducted one of the most important
cases ever tried in this city, means the pay
ment, for the three, OF one thousand dol
lars. But TO fair compensation" for tn,
Radical senator and government offia /
who defended ;he cause means the pay .iicn
Of just three times the amount. This is tn,
advantage of being on the winning side. II
this case, mayhap, the three thousand dol
lars will benefit him that giues as we'll as hin
that takes.

What It Costs.

A short time ago conscientious assessor
in Abbeville County went to q plantation
for the purpose Of assessing the taxes of the
freedmen employed there. The freedmen
were about thirteen in number, and the as
sessment occupied the official from morning
TO night. When the work was done, the as
SCISSOR found that the whole amount that the
freedmen were assesscd-apart from the
educational tax OF one dollar each-would
realize for the State just sepcnty.fre cents,
provided that none OF the thirteen tax-pay-
ers failed to pay the tax. The assessor re-
ceives three dollars for his days work, and
consumed about fifty cents worth OF sta
tionery; so that it cost the State three dol
lars and .tiffy cents to obtain the right to
collect Mree:fourths Of one dollar. Well
may we rise up and call this system blessed
