80 Vtss SAoeAASASss
Weshave said, ON Q previous occasion,
that the best politics for the State was the
amplest material development. This is
undoubtedly a truthful proposition. We
desire our people to keep this point
steadily in view. It is wealth--it is pro-
duotion-vit is material development, that
originateslppwer. Mere political victory
changes power rather than produces it.
Hence our, conclusion that the best poll
tics is the nmplest industrial develop
ment. But, in saying this We do not
mean to hndertate political reform. This
is the naxt great work before us. The
fact ofethe matter is. these powers, po-
litical and iudustrial, are co,existent. if
not .co.eauals They net and re-act. the
one upon tho other. It is impossible to
have full Industrial development without
political reform, and it is impossible for
US to- retain political power without the
basis of material strength.
We, understand Pob1T1cs to be the
means whereby the prosperity of States
is secured. Il means the proper admi-
nistration Of public affairs and the full
development of: the public resources,
which, after all, is made up of the aggre-
gate private ye,souroes. What. then, is
now necessaiy IN South CarolinaP What
are our pressing neodsS We need capi-
tai; hGmbers, settlers we need q diversi-
fed indnstry--we need works and work
ers-wSie need wealth and It's attendants.
But we need also reformed and i'm
proved government. We need an honest
and economical government. We need
better regime. Hence, we. repeat, let
rs strike dlways for industrial progress,
and let good citizens strike moD for po-
litical reform. When the canvass opens,
let the sons Of the soil and the sons by
adoption, let all who desire the harmony
and prosperity of the State, make q
vigorous rally in behalf of new regime,
which shall make South Carolina moro
agreeable to the people at home and
more inviting to men abroad.

Oily Ronts and state Tax,,e.,s... ,,.,. ).

Ibytte Editor of,the Pheniz: There
has been something said in. the Charles.
ston papers about the State taxes upon
houses in Columbia. I have enquired
into the facts, and End that the house on
the corner of Pickens and Taylor streets
is one Of those in question. The tag re-
ceipts. which have seen, show that in
1866 the State tax was &C. 80, and in 1870
it was $40. The other house, owned by
Mr.. Theodore Scott, now resident in
New York, paid, in 1866, So SO State tnx,
and in 1870 paid $40. The rent of the
former house, in 1866, was S37 per
month, and in 1870 (year ending Octo-
ber,) it is $50. The rent of the latter,
in 1866, was S25 per month, and in 1870
it is SIC. These are the facts upon Theses
two points-State tax and rent-which
appeared in the Charleston Ne,os. They
are. of course, unpalatable to the present
State Government; but they arc not, for
that reason, any the less fucts.

"a L.E.B.TLE TOO SslART. Old Rum
feldt was well-to- do farmer Of Stewart
County, Tennessee. He was regular in
his attendance at Court at Dover, but
seldom turned his face homeward until
he had swallowed more whiskey than his
skin could we'll hold, or his legs con-
veniently carry. On one occasion he
got on his level early, and about the mid
die Of hot July evening, started for
homo. He had not gono fur, however,
when he was seized with an uncontrola-
BILE desire to take a nap. He dismounted
from his horse, turned him loose to Craze,
and himself into a fence corner. He was
sleeping very sweetly, when he was
about in the vicinity, hunting for some
thing to eat Smaller and smaller grew
the circle of the buzzard as he ap-
proached his victim, cautiously taking
observation. At last, but still in some
doubt, the bird lit upon the ground near
its expected feast. About this time
Rumfeldt became aware that something
was going on, and he partially opened
ono eye, aud saw the buzzard, but was
still too drunk to take any active steps
to drive it away. He, however, kept a
watch. The buzzard strutted around
and around him, MI the time inspecting
Rumfeldt closely and cautiously, to as.
certain positively that Rumfeldt was
dead; he finally became satisfied that the
corpus before him was indeed carcass,
aud, consequently, ''his meat" where
upon he advanced deliberately to Rum
teldt's head, and gave him severe peck
in the face. This aroused Rumfeldt,
and, striking out lazily with his left hnnd
to prevent repetition of the attack. he
exclaimed: "Look 'er here-you're a
l-e-e-tle too id smart-I amt dead
yet!'

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times has been so uugallant as to assert
that, in New York, tho proportion of
good-looking men to goodlookiug wo-
men is three to one. The Times cores
pondent is menaced by "Sorosis' for his
temerity. He makes slight amende by
the remark that every one of the good
looking masculine New Workers spends
about sc, 900 year with BARRIERS, boot
makers, haberdashers, florists, tailors
and jewellers, and TINT, therefore, the
assertion that extravaganza in dress is
confined to tho gentler sex is very wide
of the truth, SO far rs Manhattan Island
is concerned.

DEATH OF A MANIAo.-The ST. Louis
Times publishes an account of the terri
BILE death of maniac. in that city, from
which we extract the following:
Yesterday the end came. Poor Nor
gan had been for nearly an hour pacing
the floor. His head leaned forward on
his breast, and he was 80 quiet that those
present began to feel more hopeful of
his ultimate recovery. He had spoken
but little, and his words were properly
chosen. Suddenly he started everybody
by shouting: 1.-The devil must have nv
eyes" And, before he could be re-
strained. he with his fingers, tore both
eyes from their sockets, and threw them
on the foorl The horrible act was
scarcely the work of moment; and
when the persons present realized what
had occurred. the maniac, sightless, his
fnce crimson with the blood which
flowed in torrents from the ghastly
sockets, and was already forming pud-
dies on the floor, stood before them
quiet, as though nothing had happened
Medical attendance was at once sum-
moned, but without avail. He fingered
n few hours, and then death came and
ended life Of sorrow.

Tho French Plebiscite.

The cable dispatches confirm the vote
on the plebiscitum in France at $780,
61O against, and 1910. .206 in its favor
The form of the question submitted to a
vote was as follows:
"Will the French people accept the
liberal notifications of tho Constitution
of 1862 on the. presence of the Cham
bers; 2. Institution of two following
bases; i. Responsibility of Ministers in
Legislative Chambers; 8. Restoration of
the constituent power to the nation"
The election took place on Sunday, q
day which it suits the conscience of
France to devote to purposes of politics
or pleasure; and which is particularly
convenient for voting for the rural popu-
lation, always the Emperor's main po-
litical dependence. In the country the
polling places are far apart, and the peo-
pie could not leave their business on n
week day, whereas in the cities any dny
would suit. The process OF asking the
consent of the nation to the new Consti-
tuition is the same by which its sanction
was obtained to that which the new Con-
stitution supercedes. While the plebis-
cite may be said to be mere form, by
which the Republic and the Bonapartes
endowed themselves with the popular
sovereignty. yet it must be conceded to
have been at least more polite than the
process by which the Legitimists helped
themselves to authority, without so much
as saying "by your leave" Louis Ma
poleon may, the Baltimore Sun thinks,
be excused for hisfondness for this mode
of appealing to the French people, be-
cause by this process he and his uncle
got all they ever acquired Of supreme
power in France. Thus it was that the
first Napoleon was mado Consul; then
Consul for life; then Emperor; then the
Empire made hereditary. Thus it was
that Louis Napoleon was made Presi-
dent; then President for ten years; by
the same process the Constitution OF
1852 was ratified, and afterwards the Sc
natus Consultum establishing the EN-
pire. It may be added, that in 1893 the
Mountain party, and two years afterwards
the convention, submitted their consti-
tutions to the people in the same way.
Indeed, the most distinguished opponent
of the programme just adopted, NJ.
Gambetta, assumed that plebiscitum
was necessary sanction in all societies
resting on Democratic law to give to the
executive the legitimacy which the old
monarchy found in the divine right of
kings. On the other hand, Prince Ma
poleon denounced it, if the people answer
"aye," as n sham; if no." revolution.
It may be added that, by imperial de-
crees, not only citizens were to vote, but,
as before, electors in the army and navy;
the vote was to be secret, given by yes
or no, by means of written or printed
ballots; the colonists of Algeria, citizens
and naturalized, were, as before, to vote;
the general examination of votes to take
place in the Legislative chamber. There

A CoNUNDRuM EXPLODED Most of
our readers are familiar no doubt with
the somewhat antiqunted, but always
successful, conundrum, concerning the
females of the feline family. The qnes-
ton was, what is it that cat hns which
no other animal can have, and the
answer, of course, kittens. But after
the publication of little incident which
occurred in this city on last Friday
night, we rather think that the cat CO.
nundrum will be effectually exploded.
On the night in question female cat,
belonging to Mr.. Stephen Faughman,
who resides near the corner of Lincoln
and Walker streets, not only did have
kittens. but did have rabbits. Several
parties have seen these extraordinary
specimens of cat-frnit AMI testify to the
truth of the fact stated. The rabbits
are two in number, are of gray color
and perfectly formed. at the same
time one kitten was born, but came into
the world in very dilapidated condi-
ton, being entirely destitute of eyes or
nose. augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.

1t seems to ns that Congress makes a
mistake in refusing to restore to Mrs.
Custis Lee the family relics which were
seized at her house at Arlington, and
which we believe are now in tho Patent

what grounds the refusal is persisted in.
The relics are certainly not to be classed

DEATH by STARVATION. A brother of
John p. Post, the carpenter, died on
Friday last, at Bergen City. under the
following circumstances: He was, few
months since, strong and healthy man
few weeks ago he was told fatal
tumor was pressing against his entrails,
and that he would starve to death. There
was no surgical remedy, as nothing could
successfully remove the cancerous ulcer.
Gradually it compressed up the passage
way and then digestion ceased, and the
process of starvation began. The agony
suffered by the dying man is indescriba-
bio. He became rednced to thin,
gannt skeleton, but he suffered patiently
and died resigned and at peace with God
and man.-PaAersom (M ~ Guardian.

does not seem to have been at any time
any doubt ia any party as 50 the result
of-the election. The Government could
fully counb'on the immense swarms Of
Office holders, the; e;churoh, the army, and
all the thousand interests with which
they are relatedr the perfect machinery
for bringing out the vote, to which may
be added, what Victor Hugo observed
when the vote was taken on the "coup
d'etat, "great numbers of men who COM
prehend what q deposit faithfully pro-
served is, what key placed in safe hands
is" Tn Paris there was large vote
against the Emperor, but it is long
time since Paris ruled France. The
greatest popularity of Louis Napoleon
has always been in the provinces. It
was manifest even in his election to the
Presidency, that the domination of the
Partisan clubs did not extend beyond
the metropolis, I'M event in relation to
which the historian Alison says: "Be-
yond all doubt, it was the multitude of
independent rural freeholders which was
the main cause of the triumphant return
of Louis Napoleon for the Presidents
chair"
So confident has been the French
Government of the result of this election
that NJ. Olivier, in a late speech, occu-
pied himself chiefly with answering the
questions what the Government meant
to do with its victory, to which he
answered, so reign of progress and sta
bility," which is q roseate view of the
future, though not particularly definite
Even If the Government had been de-
feated, the imperial power was not put
at issue, and would not have been
diminished. There was personal 60
vernment before, pure and simple. with
tho power of appeal to the people, and
thus it would have remained, even if the
plebiscitunl had been negatived. We
dare say the verdict is not indicative of
any very clear idea of the French people
on tho subject of government, except
that the majority of them consider that
Louis Napoleon is safo man to leave
the "key" with. AS compared with the
vote on previous occasions, it indicates
increased opposition strength without
increased government popularity. In
1S4S plcbiscite gave the Presidency of
the republic to Louis Napoleon by
6.O49, 772. against the million and odd
votes cast for Cavaignac. In December,
1851, plebiscite declared Louis Ma
poleon President for ten years, by
7,4S1, ,231 against 640, 1877 negative votes.
In 1852, tho present constitution was
ratified by 7,473, 43l votes to GAL, 351.
In December of the same year, pie
biscite ratified tho Senatus Consuuuna
establishing the empire by 1928, 1S9
votes against 253.145. Nevertheless, a
majority of 100000, as estimated in
the late vote, ought to be considered
enough for all practical purposes. It is
probably true that the great body of the
French people care very little for republi-
canism, yet no assurance of the real
state Of popular sentiment can be given
by the results of plebiscite, or any
similar C;esarian operation in France or
elsewhere, for delivering tho public of
their political opinions.
