This S156, 35l represents the loss to the
State, upon the transactions Of which we
have knowledge. 1t cannot be doubted that
every purchase made by the Land Ring is OF
the same scandalous character. Wherever
land has been bought, q large profit has gone
into the pockets of the Land Commissioner,
the Advisory Board, and their agents. Every
tract of land is held at far more than its
value. But if the Land Commission can
carry out their plans, the loss, which is their
profit, will not fall upon the State. They
hope to sell the lands to the colored people
at what they cost the State-that is, twice,
thrice and four times their value. In this
way the eolored people will, once more, and
at their oaOn erpense, save the Scott Ring
from detection, and enable them to digest,
at leisure, their ill-gotten plunder. The loss
must fall upon the State, or upon the colored
people. And if the colored people buy the
lands offered them by the Ring, the loss will
be theirs alone.

sensation in:the shape of waterspout. lne
editor of the Yarmouth Register was among
the many persons who witnessed It, ana ne
reports that it was first seen about l O'Clock
p. NJ, forming over scorton, and travelling ina
zie-zap course In direction across Barnstable
harbor. A tunnel-shaped rojection-present-
fne the appearance of balloon with Its upper
portion hidden-hanglng from huge black
mass of vapor, was whlrling and gyrating
and surging against the clear sky below, as
though agitated by fierce Internal connections.
Portions Of the cloud would occasionally puff
out like smoke from the main body and
become Immediately absorbed by the whirl-
ing mass >below. Shooting out Its In
verted apex, 1t would approach nearer and
nearer the surface of the earth, until it finally
struck The beach. Then the full force OF the
erial monster could be seen. Sand, leaves,
stones few into the air, trees were uprooeea'
and general panic among inanimate things
resulted at once Leaving the shore, 1t struck
the water at the upper part of Barnstable har-
bor, and then its character as waterspout
was developed in the usual manner. Crossing
the harbor 1t struck the shore again In Barn
stable, doing much damage to trees, houses,
lighthouses, &C., and finally left the shore for
the water again, crossing the harbor, and final.
ly breaking over the water at Sandy Neck
Lighthouse. After the breaking and disap'
pearance of the waterspout, the rain fell In
torrents for short time, over clrcumscribed
space, being very heavy in Barnstable and

The Land swindIe.

| We have printed from time to time the
particulars OF the purchases made by the
Land Commission in different parts of the
State. In every case we have given the
qualities and the actual value, as well as the
price paid by the Land Commission; and,
generally, we have been able to publish the
names OF the agents who were the represen-
tatires of the; Ring. We now sum up, as
follows, the instances in which the people
are known to have been swindled, under the
pretence Of giving homes to the homeless
poor:
l.. A tract of land in Charleston County,
for which the actual seller receives $50, 900,
costs the Land Commission no less than
'sl20, 900. =
g. In Oconee County the Land Commits
sion buy two Thousand acres Of land at an
average price of Sc an acre, which land, at
an outside estimate, is worth only So an
| acre.
8. In Williamsburg the Land Commission
charge $4,000 for tract Of land which costs
$780,
4. In Lancaster County the Land Com
mission pay Ss032 for tract OF land "known
'to be utterly worthless" Eighteen months
ago this land could have been readily bought
at 81 so an acre; the Land Commission pay
IS an acre.
S. In Beaufort County the Deputy Land
Commissioners, aided and assisted by Repre-
sentative W. j. Whipper, bought nineteen
hundred acres of land, at 50 25 an acre, and
made the seller sign titles at IS an acre.
6. In,Darlington County the Land Com
mission buy parcel Of lands for S59s6, and
the amount stated in the titles as paid by
the Land Commission is s11,6
7. In Anderson County the Land Commits
sion buy fifteen tracts Of land, aggregating
42s5 acres, for s2l,lsO. These lands are
shown to be worth, at most, $1,000.
s. In Chester County the Land Commits
sion buy seven hundred and thirty acres OF
land at So so; their actual cost was not
more than s5.
9. In Georgetown County the Land Com
mission buy 53lO acres OF landau SO so an
acre. That land is dear at 81 an acre.
TO- In Colleton County the Land Com
mission buy 2732 acres of land at 81 an acre,
800 acres at So, ana 1910 acres at So. A
high price for the first tract would be So an
acre. The second tract is worth less than 81
an acre. The third tract is worth nothing.
IL. In Lexington the Land Commission
agent buy $500 acres OF land for $4,000, and
the State pays for the same tract SS05O.
The loss to the State, or to the co!ored
people who buy the lands, upon these eleven
transactions, is as follows:

Judge Orr's Letter.

The up-country press are particularly
severe in their criticisms of Judge Orr's po
litical manifesto The Yorkyille Enquire,
prints the letter, but emphatically dissents
from its conclusions, ,and thinks its reasoning
is feeble. The Oconee Courier scores the
letter, and the writer, in three editorial arti-
cles. The Anderson InteNigeacer calmly
and thoughtfully reviews the whole letter,
condemns it from beginning to end, and u.s.
serts that Judge Orr "had no hope OF gain
Sing the approval OF his old constituents. -.
'He is beyond their reach, as far as condenl'
"nation is concerned, and his future expec-
Citations do not lie in their power to control.

because he refused to have himself registered

An EPigram on Orr.

The epigrammatic Winnsboro' NeWS, some
time ago, styled Judge Orr ''a political dis
'juuctive conjunction, and is asked by the
Columbia Paoaic, having parsed Orr, to
decline the word. Coming up smiling, the
Ne,sS makes this reply.
s:The Columbia Phosnir, if 1t will permit us,
who have made the study ofpolitical grammar
a speciality, to say so, Is far better political
moralist than political grammarian. For Orr
being, as we have said, political distinctive
conjunction, at present separating honest men
from thieves, but more closely connected with
the latter, has an evident capacity tor politico-
moral declension; but politIco-grammatlcally
considered, Orr, in spite of Its numerous varia-
tions, Is indeclinable, being In fact, BY reason
of them, all that 1t Is capable of being already
for it is poli:ical particle which never did
have, and has not nuw, either independent ex-
lstence or discriminating quality, but invaria-
bly, gravitates, by The fixed law of its usage
and nature, towards what is, or seems to be,
the heavier and winning alternative of the po-
litical situation; as, just now, for example :
Be honest, Orr; say plainly you propose to join
the thieves and steal.
IN. B. 1t Is our devil, and not ourselves,
that has gone and put a ruinous semi-colon in
the example, after the interesting word whose
usage we were endeavoring to explain to the
PhosniS. Such punctuation makes sense, 1t is
true, but we are not responsible for 1t. Leave
out the semi-coon, and you will then have the
present political situation, and the alternative
with which Orr Is more closely connected. viz ::
Be honest, Orr say plainly that you propose to
Join the thieves and steal"

A Hard Fact.

The Winnsboro' Neus says: "In the Con-
"vention OF 1865, impartial suffrage, without
'regard to color, might have been adopted
t'but for the opposition Of Orr and those
"who then thought him honest. His argu-
"ment was that universal suffrage could not
