South Carolina is Reconstructed
State 1t is one of the best specimens of
radical carpet bag rule. 1t gives 10000
radical majority, and it is there that the
President begins first TO display the abso-
lutte power which the ku-klux law confers
upon him. lie has suspended the privi-
leges Of the writ of habeas corpus in South
Carolina.
Now if there is any necessity for the cx-
ercise of Federal power in that State, the
Republican party must be responsible for
it. South Carolina has radical Governor,
a radical Legislature, radical State officers
throughout, and a clear radical majority
of $4,000 among the people. Add to these
resources large majority of its best citi-
zcus who are in favor of the preservation
of order, and who dare say that it is not
fully capable Of suppressing disturbances
without Federal aid? But Grant has be-

Highland Se.Giur,

The interior of Islay is far from being
as picturesque as Jura. 1t consists chiefly
of undulated moorland. here and there
broken up By the bed Of a stream, and
showing an occasional cottage or farm
house, the fields surrounding which stretch
out into the black morass. The road was
most desolate. Scarcely human being
was to be seen for miles. But at last we
beheld wondcrous sight in this solitude
"a long string Of people in gay dresses
coming up the road in pairs, and preceded
b.; two pipers. And while they were yet
distant we heard the strange, wild music
of the pipes, that had something in its pc
culiar wall and sllirl that seemed appropri-
ate to this savage wilderness. Aswe drew
nearer the music resolved itself into an air,
and we knew that this was the wedding
party, for the pipes were playing no pi-
broch of Lochicl but the familiar Lowland
tune of " Woocd an Married an a. After
the piper came the bridegroom and bride,
the former, tall young fellow, whose pale
face and slight figure contrasted strongly
with the brown, bearded and thick-set men
who followed in the procession. The bride
was fresh and healthy looking lass, with
rosy cheeks, dark hair and dark blue eyes,
who blushed prodigiously at the jokes
which were being shouted BY the company.
Immediately behind the welded pair .ne
the best man, arm m-iit-arIn with the chief
bridcmail: and then followed the string Of
friends and relatives, the old people wind
ing up the procession. When we got down
to Bridge-end Inn We found that the ex-
citement caused by the marriage had not
rhnrp t5ipuIS from +bn
northern side of the island, who could not
90 all the way, had remained in the Inn
and they too had Il piper. The marriage
had been solcmnizcd III the public room of
the place-clIairs and tables having been
cleared out, and in this room the remaining
visitors were now holding high jinks.

Gen. iSaiIoch,s DcfaIcation.

Despatch to the New \ Ork ,'un.
NAsIUNGToN, Oct. 1.-THE friends of
Gen. Balloch, the defaulting disbursing
officer of the Frecdmcn's Bureau have been
busy to-day with all sorts of personal ex-
plantations. They DO not deny in the first
place that Gen. Balloch v as a poor man
four years ago, and that he is now worth
Sl50,0U0, although engaged in no other
business than that which simply appcvt2;ns
to his official position, nor 90 they or Gen.
Balloch deny that the sum Of S250,000 Of
Government funds IN his hands was con-
yertel into bonds contrary to law, deposit
ed In q place which the law did not author
ize, ana that the interest on it, amounting
to Si5,oU0 per annum, was Illegally appro-
prlated TO his own Use. The oIlv iustitca-
ton pleaded is that the General, by reason
of fraudulent imposition practiced upon him
by negro bounty claimants, wished TO in
demnify himself for moneys that he claims
he was compelled To pay twice.
There is nobody connected with this
transaction who seems to have any account
of the number of fraudulent claims which
are asserted to have been paid twice over.
nor are names or other data put forth.
Gen. Balloch, when this transaction first
came to light, attempted to shelter himself
under a pretended authorization of Treas
urer Spinner and Comptroller Brodhead,
and, finally, of letter of exculpation from
Secretary Boutwell,, but the two former
officials are swift to clear themselves from
any share of responsibility, and the letter
of the latter written to Gen. O. O. Howard
a few days ago, charges upon the wholl
transaction, but does not attribute imnroD
or motives to Gen. B1lloch.
There Is one queer thing about this de
+, falcation which does not yet appear clear
Parties who are in position to know as
sert that the deficiency was really $1,000
and that the other $250,000 was found il

The revival Of the San Domingo annexa-
ton scheme, and the expressed determine
ton Of the. fund Of the Administration
side Of the question to force favorable
action during the coming winter,
excite good deal of comment here.
1t Is evident that while many Con
grcssmen viii vote for annexation
merely because it has been made an admins
tration measure, there is a large majority
in Congress opposed to it, and 1t is thought
the proposition will get less support than
heretofore. 1t is reported now, in well-in-
formed circles, that tie new treaty for the
annexation Of San Domingo, which will be
submitted TO Congress early in the season,
will call for no appropriation whatever, but
that provision will be made by private per-
sons and corporations to pay off the debt of
the Republic, which has been regarded as
amounting to aboat I million and half of
dollars.- Wash. Cor y. /. Times.

may he be shod with lightning and COM

where tE,c SGsis Does Net Set.

The following graphic passage is from
the description Of u scene witnessed by Mr..
Campbell and his party in the north Of
Norway from a cliff one thousand feet
above the sea: "Thc ocean stretched
away in silent vastness ut our feet; the
sound Of the waves scarcely reached our
airy lookout; AWAY ia the north the huge
old sun swung low along the horizon, Ike
the slow beat Of the pendulum of the tail
clock Of our grandfathers parIor corner
We all stood silent, looking at our watches.
" hen both hands came together at twelve,
midnight, the full round orb hung tri-
umpIantIy above the wave, Il bridge Of
gold running due north spanmed the water
between lis and him. There he shouc in
silent majesty. which knew no setting, we
involuntarily took off our hats; no word
was said. Combine, if You can, the most
brilliant sunrise and sunset you ever saw,
and the beauties viii pale before the gorge
Gus coloring which now lit up ocean, heaven
and mountain. In half an hour the sun
had swung up perceptibly on his beat, the
colors changed to those of morning, fresh
breeze ripplcd over the flood, one songster
after another piped up in the grove behind
uI-we had slid into another day"

W once had Il munllcent school fund.
In lSOI IL amounted to s., $50, ,694, paying
an annual interest Of seven per cent. This
fund was mostly madsup of the products
of lands donated by the general govern
ment for the support of schools. The
people were not taxed for the purpose Of
contributing to this fund. 1t was expect
ed when this land was donated by the gen
eral government, that the sum realized
from its sale, woUld be set apart and kept
exclusively for educational purposes. l.
would have been given on no other terms
Up to 1861, the fund was kept for this
purpose. 1t had been always regarded as
trust fund, and to be kept sacred. In
1862, however, a Republican Legislature
began the work of cncroaching upon this
trust, and what Is now the result ? 1t Is
pretty much all gone, the State borrowed
and used up the handsome sum of S2,lS3,-
200. That is just the amount which the
State now owes the various educational
trust funds. The money has al been used
up for osher purposes, and the people are
annually taxed to raise the sum of S152,

fund. There Is in fact, no school fund, or

borrows it, and issues State certificates of
Indebtedness for it, and then taxes the peo-
pie to pay the interest on these, at seven
per cent.
Upon the people rests almost the entire
burden of supporting our school system.
/ The school fund is myth, it is gone, alb

from the people at large i'll the shape of Il
direct tax. But this is not all or the
worst OF it, for the people lose annually by
this financial operation the neat sum Of
So ,S32. The loss is incurred in this way:
The Legislature Of 1862 passed law which
authorized the conversion Of our State
bonds which paid six per cent. interest
into :" certificates Of indebtedness" which
i pay seven per cent. In other words we
/ borrow the money Of the school fund to pay
up six per cent. State bonds and agree to
! pay seven per cent. on the new loan, thus
increasing the interest on our State debt
just one per cent.
! This is a fair specimen of Radical finan-
! ciering. The school fund is gone, and the
interest on the State debt increased over
twenty thousand dollars by the operation.
When the substance IS gone why keep up
the shadow. The bulk Of the school land
/ Is gone, and the millions of dollars realized
from it, spent, and the people taxed to pay
the interest on a fund which no longer ex-
lists. 1t is in reality direct tax for the
/ support Of schools. Why don't they give
it that name? Of course our schools
must be sustained, but things shouldbe
called by their right ramcs.-NadisoH
