Death Of Ex-Governor Pickens.

This distinguished citizen died after a
protracted illness, at his residence in
Edgefield, on the 25th ult. The best
part Of Mr.. Pickens' life was devoted to
public SCI vice, and the State he served
so long and so honorably, may well
mourn the death of her distinguished
son. In the U. S. Congress, to which
he was sent early in life. in the leglsla.
ture of our own State, Sin her proud and
rainy days as minister % the Court a
St. Petersburg, and during the late
troublous times, as Governor, Mr.. Pick
ems maintained the trusts confided to
him with signal ability, and gained the
utmost confidence of bis fellow citizens.
Holding such an high position, it would
have been singular did he not become q
mark for aspersion-more, particularly
in the last great and difficult role as
Governor. Unswerving integrity and a
high sense of honor marked his course,
and if there was aught of error in his
administration, it was the fault of the
bead and not of the heart. Let history
do Justice to his virtues and services, and
The State revere his nainars. - - :: :.

The legislature.

The Legislature (so-called), is decided
iy a slow coach. The days run to
weeks, and the weeks merge into months,
and still it drags its slow length along.
The reps are indeed having good time,
consuming the public money. They
meet about 10 NJ, and after burlesqne
of about three hours, adjourn. On an
average this is the daily programme.
The Phoenix gives specimen of last
Wednesdays proceedings, and says:
:. s'The Senate bill to alter and amend the
criminal law, after having been discussed
for four days in Committee Of the
Whole, which reported by decided
majority in favor of the bill as it. came
from the Senate, Was put upon its Sec
ond reading. The first section of the
bill, abolishing capital punishment, ex'
cept in case of wilful murder, which
was its destructive feature, passed to
third reading, by a vote of So to 36.
Then commenced the 6libuStering of its
opponents" f..
Delarge moved to re-commit the re
naming sections 2urvis moved to lay
this motion on the table, on which were
called the yess and nays. Delarge asked
to explain and called for. yeas and nays
while calling, Bishop begged to be ex'
cused voting, and Hyde called for yeas
and nays, upon which jerks asked leave
for something. Dennis then moved te
suspend rules, and the yeas and nays
were called. Bishop moved to adjourn
then more yeas and nays, and when his
name was called, asked to be excused
when DeIarge called yeas and nays
While this was in. operation, DeMars
declined voting, which called for few
more yeas and nays. Then DeLargt
| moved to adjourn-when up rises W
e. Jones asking to be excused from
voting, yeas and nays again. Their
| came the call of yeas. and nays on ad
journment, when the yeas had it. Was
there evsrsuch a muddle? ;? r

GEORGIA ENTERPRIse.-With pride We
insert the following paragraph from the
Savannah Republican: ..--,. -
Georgia manufacturing enterprise is
presenting to the world something new.
We were shown yesterday a specimen of
cotton blankets, turned out by the Eagle
Mills, Columbus, that do credit to the
State. They are very thick, mapped
heavily on both sides, and beautiful in
appearance. They are said to answer
ali the purposes of the wooolen blanket,
and are furnished at the low price OF
from s5 to $3.50 per pair. Besides their
value as something new, if generally
adopted they will add largely to the
consumption of the staple, with cor
responding effect upon the price.

Cash and Cash Only.

From this date we enforce rigidly the
cash, system, with all alike. Exceptions
made during the past year, BY special
request and on promises strong and ap-
parently truthful, have proven the fallacy
of credit. We cannot indulge the en-
pensive habit longer. Cash for job
work, cash for subscriptions, cash for
advertisements, hereafter Is the rule.
Remember it, bring your money in hand
if youaeed anything in our line.

berry County. AS the provisions Of the
law are numerous, and somewhat COM
plicated, while many Of its features will
appear novel to the tax payers of the
County it is Of the first importance,
therefore, that you study carefully the
spirit and intent of the law, in order
that you may execute it properly in de-
tail. The spirit of the law, which is the
life of the law, however, may be easily
understood.
The law does not expect you to op-
press, or grind, or deal vigorously in
your assessments; but that you firmly
and strictly carry out its provisions,
exercising at all times sound discretion
and forbearance in the performance of
your duties, in order, not only that tie
State may secure its revenue, but that the
people may feel that they have not been
subjected to any other than an equitable
and reasonable taxation. ..
l would particularly impress upon
you, the propriety Of being careful to
avoid, as far as possible, any thing that
may seem like an unnecessary inquisition
into the private affairs of the taxpayer,
they must, at the same time, use exery
proper means to satisfy themselves as to
the correctness Of the returns of proper.
ty made. You well understand that the
year for which this assessment is made
terminates on the first of September,
1868, and that it is the property which
has been held by the taxpayer. during
the year preceding that date, and which
is held by him on that date, that is to be
assessed for taxation.
The attainment Of these results, will,
in a great measure, depend upon the
manner in which you shall discharge
your duties. Respectfully,

marvellous, wonderful, startling, but
none the less true. We can scarcely
think that any supernatural agency was
invoked by P. & W., but We confess to
being perplexed. Last year our friends
piled in on US potatoes, until there was
no rest, so many in fact that tubers con-
stitutcd the principal part of our meals;
now are we being made the victims of
syrup, inundated as it were, with the
sweet trickling fluid. Isit a conspiracy,
friends? "Methinks there be six Rich

met us, not in deadly tilt, but with jugs
ofN. O. Syrup. Pile it on friends, if
this is your game. Ifyou be not hurt,
We will not be, yea, verify.

ton is that Sale-day hereafter be divided
into two days, the first and third Mondays
of the month, the present being too much
of good thing for one day. &c..
The business of the day was active; cot
ton taking another rise, the spirits of the
people rose in proportion, and the prices
realized for the various property sold were
a favorable indication of a peoples pros
perity. We noticed particularly the sale
of one horse which brought $40 more than

223, $l375.0O; Is, $3.50, and 66 acres S420; !;
