Robbins Petor to Pay Paul.

The appraisement of the real and personal
property Of the city will soon be completed,
and the Committee OF Ways and Means will
then report to the City Council what rate per
cent. must be collected to meet the expenses
OF the city during the current year.
During the year ending on January LIST,
the expenditures for police and for streets
were far larger than they should have been,
Perhaps the new Mayor found it impossible
to resist the clamor OF his colored constitu-
ents; perhaps the new Council thought that
it was of more consequence to satisfy the
Radical party than to spare the property
owners and taxpayers Certain it is, that
the expenditures were enormous, and as G.
natural consequence the city was compelled
to suspend the payment of the interest on
her debt. We are not disposed, however,
to make what may seem to be captious OBJ
jections to the city government. Give US
honesty, ability and economy, and we care
very little whether the Mayor and Aldermen
be Radicals or not And if they will now
turn over new Leaf spend no more than is
indispensable, and make the city taxes
equable and light, they will not fail to re-
ceive at our hands all the credit that shall
be their due.
In one particular, an improvement may be
made upon the present financial system, and
to it the attention of Council is now called
1t is customary, in submitting statement
of estimated income and expenditure, to es-;
innate certain amounts as required for GER
tain specified purposes. Now, we want tos see
the expenditure in each department confined
to the amount appropriated to that depart
ment. At present, if the'total estimate be
81, 900, 900, it is only required that the
total expense shall not exceed that sum.
The Streets department may swallow up
twice as much as was expected, and the
Orphanheuse only half as much. But the
city derives no benefit from the saving in
the Orphanhouse All the saving, and more,
is swallowed up by Streets. The S1,000,OOO
is spent somehow, and that is the end OF it.
This system is all wrong 4 certa-': sum
should be appropriated to each department,
and each payment should be charged to
its particular appropriation, and the City
Treasurer should not be allowed to pay
out one dollar more On any one account
than the amount appropriated for the
purpose. If this be done, the city will
enjoy the benefit OF saving in par
tieular department, and will, under no cir
cumstances, ''rob Peter to pay Paul." as is
now the invariable custom.

Model Workers.

A farmer in Greenville has two model ten
ants.
One of them, white man, has lived on
one OF his farm for three years, and now
pays more for rent than was produced on
the entire place any year previous to the
last three years. This man is really indus
trious, and although he has family OF eight
or nine children, has paid, beside his current
domestic expenses, good portion Of a debt
for money advanced him by his landlord.
The other, colored man, named Daniel
Seaborne, has been on the farm three years
or more, starting with about bread enough
for one year, and two small pigs. At this time,
according to the Greenville Enterprise, he
has as much bacon as he needs; has bought
and paid for two fine mich COWS; has fine
lot of of stock hogs; has good farm horse,
worth $3.50, upon which he owes sos; has
plenty OF flour for breakfast during the year;
has corn in abundance for bread and stock,
also fodder, and some to spare; has eighteen
acres of wheat, put in with his own seed, two
thirds of which proceeds will be his own;
has half interest in five bales of cotton,
weighing from 44O to 500 pounds.
These are model workerS-models worthy
ofimitation. And it must be remembered that
these men had no land commission to help
them, and had no labor commissioner to
meddle with their affairs. They went man.
fully to work; and they made money. Work!
work! work! was the sole secret Of their

A Specimen Brick.

The Brooklyn Eagle, in leading article
published in its issue Of the 1st inst, de-
scribes what it calls the "specimen bricks"
of South Carolina Radicalism. One OF these
is Land Commissioner and Senator G. P.
Leslie who, as is we'll known, is an ex-
Democrat and an ex-New York General
Assemblyman In the well-being of Mr..
Leslie tile Eagle has great interest, and it
accordingly casts some new light upon the
early career Of the distinguished politician.
This is what the Eagle says:
"Seuator Leslieis described Us an 'ex-New
York Democrat, and an ex-Democratic legis-
lator from Brooklyn hence we feel local
interest in Leslie's well-being. This notorious
scamp is now Republican senator of The
missioner as we'll. Leslie was chosen during
the excitement of the war to represent one Of
the Brooklyn Assembly Districts. more i'm
pudent blatherskite never imposed on any
constituency. He came out in his true colors
at Albany, and passed out of sight with the
close of his term. He turned up, however,
in the police courts of New York a few months
later, as part owner of house of il-iamc, and
having escaped the penitentiary, we next hear
of him as Republican senator Of South Ca o.
lima, and Land Commissioner of that most
unfortunate State. In great upheavals of
society its representative men rise to the sur
face. The craftsmanship displayed in tho
policy OF reconstruction blossoms into its full
lest and rarest perfection in Senator Leslie,
the ex-pimp and panderer of New York"
Now, we have. no reason to doubt
the truth of this statement, and we ask,
is this fit person to be entrusted with the
spending OF half-a-million of Land Commits
sion funds? Nay more, is there an honest
colored man in Barnwell County who is not
disgusted and ashamed that he should be
mis-represented in the Senate of the State
by this G. P. Leslie?

K. x. x.

The Yorkville Enquirer treats the whole
story of K. K X. outrages in York as
political trick: and reports that the State
constables have gone back to Columbia. 1t
says:
"Deputy Constable Littlefield reported that
he found the county in the hands ofarmed
bands of desperadoes, statement which we
pronounce false. There are ten townships In
this county, and he garrisoned but one OF these.
We do not believe he found any armed bands
In that one; ;lfor he says himself that he could
not get evidence to justify him in making any
arrests, state of affairs which would have
been utterly impossible, had the county been
In the condition he says it was. The ''desper-
adoesn must be Of remarkably timid class, If
they subsidized so quietly upon the approach OF
six constables.
"The truth is, the county is in the hands OF
our civil officers, who have never had any dill
Guilty in making arrests or preserving the
peace when called upon. Littlcheld lets the
cat ont of the wallet, when he says nc 'im-
mediately organized military company, and
gave them arms agrecably to his instructions"
That's the whole secret His Instructions
was to form military company first, and
trump up some excuse for it afterwards. And
here is his excuse conversation was over
heard between two supposed 'despcradoes,'
one of whom said to the other: we will con-
tinuc these outragcs until the election, and II
1t does not intlmidate these Radicals SO that
they will stay away from the polls, we will
take forcible possession OF them, and carry the
election next fall at all hazards
.sWhy did not Littlefeld arrest these two
men and confront them with their accusers !?
That was the evidence he wanted, and 1t was
his duty to lock into the matter. If any such
intentions were expressed the people of York
want to know who it is that expressed them.
They also desire to know who are the 'des-
peradoes' in their midst. But Littlefeld was
too wary to commit himself and expose the ut
ter want of Justification for his course in obey
ine his Instructions The consequence, so
far as he is concerned, is thai nobody believes
the story. The result will be damaging to
Governor Scott also, who abuses the power
entrusted to him by keeping up show OF pre-
serving order by force, when he must be con-
yinced, if he pays any regard to evidence,
that this is more calculated to promote than
TO prevent disturbance. So far as political
effect is concerned. the Governor has taken
the wrong method to radicaize York. Take
care of the rebound, Governor, when this mat
ter is discussed next summer"

fire had raised. The cries were repeated; a panic,
seized the schoolroom congregation, and they
made rush for the street. The staircase leading
to the chapel became choked with the dense mass
of struggling people, Of whom sixteen were killed,
and large number wounded. The panic seems
to have communicated itself to the whole crowd
outside the chapel, but to have been allaycd with
in by the heroic eXertons Of the priests, who con-
tlnued the chapel service to the end, and thus re-
tanned the greater part of the people in their seats
till the crush was over. The catastrophe would
have been infinitely greater but for the presence
of mind OF the officiating clergy, and two thou
sand persons were thus enabled after the panic
was over, to 60 quietly and safely to their homes

The interest on the South Carolina debt is
now paid in gold, and it is hoped and be-
lieved that the debt falling due may be re-
newed on favorable terms. It has not been
expected to pay the principal of our State
debt in greenbacks, and the debt is so small,
in proportion to the resources Of the State,
tha. there ought not to be any trouble in ar
ranging its extension or renewal. The mo-
tives of the Radical ring in "bulling" up the
bonds and stocks of the State are patent to
every one but the fact stands on the re-
cord that we have, in spite OF the extrava-
sancies.of radcalism, small debv and un-
tarnished credit.
We append the remarks of the New York
Commercial AduertiSer upon the foregoing
table of before-the-war debt:
SIT will then be seen that s1s5.000, 900 Of
State obligations, the interest on which, since
1862, has been paid almost exclusively in cur
rency Except the suspended States,) now be-
come payable, both interest and principal, in
coin. With gold at its present price, This Is
equivalent to an addition of about 20 per cent.
to the debt of the States, as hitherto estima-
ted. The decision Of the court appears to con-
vey the conclusion that no issues OF legal
tenders, in state of peace, are constit'l-
tional. which dlscourages any speculative
hopes of further imitation of the greenback
circulation. 1t is open to question whether
the decision may not affect the constitution
ality of the proposed further issues of bank
circulation National bank notes are now
legal tender to the banks, between the banks,
and with certain lim!ta:ioIs) to and from the
government It would seem that no new
issues OF national currency can possess these
partial legal-tender flu ions; the inference
being based upon the same grounds as prohibit
the issue of any addition absolute legal-tender
notes by the government"

GORGO SUGAR AND REFINED
- SYRUP. TO-

We would invite the attention OF Planters to
the &C isideratIon of some OF the advantages In
the cultivation OF S0RG0 as Crop, which are,
the small amount OF labor; the hardy character
OF the plant In Its ability TO endure, without ma
teria injury, both drought and wet; its freedom
from the attack Of worms; Its early maturing,
and the fact that the Seed and every part Of the
plant is OF great value.
In consequence y. the imperfect method
hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice OF this
Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief
that Sugar could not be produced, but only very
inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery OF the
Southern Process, these opinions have been com-
pletely reversed In the minds OF all those who
have examined and tested this Process, as they
realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the
best Chemical Syrups Of the Rednertes. Is pro-
duced, but also Sugar equal to the best New Or
leans, in such quantity, as to make 1t without
doubt, the most profitable crop that can be plant
ed. or these facts abundant evidence can be
shown.
