sent, the Intendant, Wardens Ray, Nc
Namara and Oliveros. Minutes of last
meeting were read and confirmed.
An Ordinance prohibiting the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in the corporate linn
its Of Oranseburg on Sundays was. in
trodpced and upon being put to vote met
with the unanimous approval of Council,
with instruction to have said Ordinance
published in the ORANoEBURa News,
four respective Insertions.
The petition of the Elliott Hook and

and after some rtirring debate, Council
voted them fifty (5O) dollars to bo paid
whenever tho Apparatus were in condi-
tod TO render active service to the Cor
poration.
Dick an unfortunate colorcd man, who
was confined for violating an Ordinance
"To Preserve the Peace and Quiet of the
Town" was next considered. Upon the
evidence given in his case as to tho pos.

his disposal, with instructions to render
to Council their bill for payment
Council left it discretionary with the In
tcndant to have on the streets during the
holidays one, two or three constables, the
better to preserve order and quiet.
A resolution was introduced respect

The Spanish Minister, OH the 9th,
gave satisfactory assurance to the State
Department. that the gunboats now at
New York would not be used against
Peru, and as consequence the Peruvian
Minister is satisfied, and no longer in
sists on their detention. The Secretary
of State has, therefore, directed Attorney
Plerrepont to enter moUc proseqmi in
the court tomorrow, the results ofwhich
will be the release &the Spanish gun
boats.

THE INCOME TAx-This odious tax
expires by the terms of the act imposing
it, in 1870; and it is to be hoped that it
will not be again forced upon the people.
1t is the most oppressive and unequal of
all the taxes, because it falls mainly upon
persons of comparatively small means,
while the wealthy do not feel it. This
tax netted last year Sll 100000. In
place OF 1t, some papers propose substitu-
ting greenbacks for national bank notes
and taxing U. S. bonds. BY dispensing
with the nationial bank notes, and issuing
greenbacks in their stead, we can save
S25, 100000 which is now given to the
bankers. BY taxing the bonds, say two
per cent, abont the same tax which other
property pays, we save 100000 OCO
more making total OF SG5, 900 900.
This is third more than we derive from
the income tax-will not the people
insist that the bank and bond tax shall
be saved, rather than they themselves
shall be burdcned with an onerous obliga-

A MAN AND Boy DROWNED lam
entable affair occurred on Saturday af-
ternoon last, near Lowther's mill on the
river, some six or seven miles from Col
umbus, on the Alabama side. Three
persons were in bathing-Mr. William
Byrd, a well-to do farmer living near
by, his little son, aged eight or ten
years and a young man Tin stature) nam
ed Hammers, aged about eighteen years,
from Girard, Ala. The boy was wa
ding into the stream, when he suddenly
stepped from rock into fifteen feet of
water. The father was Immediately
proceeding to the rescue, but Hammers,
who was admirable swimmer, declared
he could and would save him, and at
once swan to where the boy was strug-
Cling. AS he approached, the child
seized him convulsively by the throat,
throwing his arms around his shoulders,
and rendering it impossible for Mr.. Han
ners to use his arms, beside almost suf-
locating him. Hammers told the boy to
be quiet, turn him loose, and he would
easilyssave him; but he could not hear
or would not heed the words, and in
little while both went down never to re-
appear alive.
The father, who could not swim, and
being alone, could do nothing. The
bodies were recovered, the boy with
his arms locked around the man, at II
O'Clock that night. Collins were procur-
cd from this city, and they were buried

The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1869-07-16
A CURIOUS RESULT,

The Supreme Court has decided that
negroes are eligible to hold office in this
State The same Court has decided that
the social status of the negro is inferior
to that of the white, and that legislation
looking to its equalization would be, I'M
der the Constitution of '68, which de
clares that "tho social status of the citi-
zen shall never be the subject of legisla-
t;on," clearly unconstitutional.
We then have this anomaly. Anegro-
may be Governor of the State-tho high
est Office known to the laws-yet, if he
attends church he must take his seat in
the gallery with negroes, while his foot
man or private secretary, being white,
would be seated among white people
AS Governor, it may be necessary for him
to ride on our railroads, but if he does so
he must take scat in a second class car
among negroes, while his subordinate Of
fcials, being white, will be provided with
seats in the first class-cars. If he visits
the theatre or circus he is sent to quar-
tiers among ncgroes-if he stops at a
uOLCl TIC Is uclllCu dCCCoo " lliC HOISA tS1
ble-refused lodgings In the hotel rooms.
This may be the condition of affairs
under the recent ruling of the Supreme
Court in this State. How it must shock
the common sense Of all people to know
that such conflicting and unjust decis-
ions have been made. We do not be-
lieve the negro eligible to bold Office I'M
der the law and the Constitution, al
though the Supreme Court has so deci-
ded.s We cannot bring ourselves to the
belief that we live in State where such
unequal and unjust legislation is accom-
plished and tolerated as that we have
just referred to. 1t would be we'll for
our readers to reflect much and seriously
upon this subject. We have merely hint
ed at some of the most glaring inconsis
rencies Of the recent decisions.
If it be true, as Judge Brown declares
it to be, that the negroes right to hold
Office is derived from the Code, that por-
ton of the Code upon which the right is
founded should be repealed at once
