The South Carolina Taxation Trou.
bles-Views or Gov. scott. -

/ "ASo-vAc"S "a OOVs SCOGe.
CHARLEsToN, s. c., April 1s.-The Ne,rs
to-day prints an extended interview with
Gov. Scott on, the subject Of the State
finances and taxation, which lately caused
such widespread agitation In the State.
$500 THE DEBT OF THE STATE. -
| He declared that the State debt had been
grossly exaggerated, and the increase of the
bonded debt mainly represents liabilities
contracted. by previous administrations ;
| that the railroad endorsements by the State
are amply protected by the actual assets of
| the road, and that the entire bonded debt
of South Carolina is less than 81, 900, 0O0, with
about 81 100000 floating debt, which last
will be paid Immediately with funds now in
the Treasury and with the incoming taxes.
TIE COLLECTION OF TAXES. @f
He says the object in changing the time
of collection of the takes is to insure their
collection from the poorer classes, and
should add 5000, 900 to the State revenue :;
also, that an extension of time will be
granted if required. The people, he says,
are now paying the taxes with unanimity
and promptness that surprises him, and
which deserved the highest praise and il
Illustrated their law-abiding character.
THE COMING TAXPAYERS CONVENTION.
Abiding to the Taxpayers Convention
called for next month by the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade,
he says the Convention will result in show
ing the people that the State finances are in
a healthy condition and the debt is as he
has represented it. He hopes also that 1t
would create better feeling and resstab-
lish confidence by preparing the way to
give a fair share of offices in the State to
men of ability and experience.
lie pronounces in favor of minority rep-
| resentatlon as the readiest cure for the eX-
| listing grievances of the whites. He thinks
| the present moderate tone of the State
press tends to obliterate the fears and pre.
JUDGES of the Republicans, and considers
that large majority of the whites in the
State,, by accepting the constitutional
amendments, are practically Republicans
| in all but the name.
THE KUKLUX.
He expresses the belief that the aims of
the kukluX are political, but thinks the
operations of that organization are the
surest means of strengthening and CONSOLE
dating the Republican party.
The Governor says, in conclusion, that
his future policy would be to disregard
party lines in making appointments, and
he will be guided chiefly by considerations
of personal fitness,

SENATOR LEWIS ON THE DAIRY QUESTION.
1t has been announced that Senator John
+. Lewis. who was elected by the Conser-
vative members Of The Virginia Legislature
to represent the State for the long term in
the United States Senate, cast his vote in
iavor of the infamous kukluX bill, notwith-
standing his testimony that no such orSani.
cation existed in Virginia, and that law and
order were as well maintained here as in any
State of the Union. We are informed that a
gentleman of Liberty recently wrote to SEN
ator Lewis representing that sam. Kclso was
wholly incapable of discharging the duties
pertaining to the position Of assistant route
agent, which he holds, and that the people
were being subjected to considerable incon-
venience and loss by irregularities i'll the
mail service. Mr.. Lewis. i'll his answer,
showed an unmistakcn disposition to cham
pion the cause of his coloIed friend, and
insisted that he should have full time and
ample instructions from the other agents
before he is pronounced incompetent.
7 hus is the Niger to be crammcd down our
throals, whether we will or no. The mail
service is irregular, and the people are SUI,
fering; but in these times everything ana
everybody has to stand aside for the ever
lasting darky.-Lynchburg Firglntan.

The cattleo Colorado, for lack OF forage,
are starving to death. The circular issued
last summer, in regard TO the stock-raislng
facilities OF this Territory, is thus knocked on
the head.
The trains on the Kansas Pacific, be-
tween Hays City and Brookville, are cut Oh
by heavy snow-storms.
-Sleighing is good in Denver The
weather has been cold enough, but no snow
here for that purpose.
Almost all kinds of teams, with various
bells. from a door-bell TO 4 cow-bell, were
iingling from the harness OF the sleigh-teams
at Denver. 4 runaway occurred, when the
daughter OF Gen. Hughes WAS serioesiy IN
iured, her collar-bone and two ribs being
broken, and Mr. Hanchell, her escort, had
his arm broken in two pieces. The runaway
occurred in one of the principal streets OF the
city
No mail from Denver for the last few
days The mail train west on the X. Z. road
was DELAYED on Thanksgiving day, four hours,
west Of Kit Carson, one hour BY the passage
of an immense herd OF buffalo, further west
than they We're ever known before at this
season. This Is because of the burning OF
the grass last fall and the severe weather fol-
lowing.
Two large grey wolves were seen on the
K. 7. road, near Cayote, chasing man, who
was following a wagon, and running like the
very Cd harry. The last seen of the party,
he WAS in the wagon, firing at his audacious
ASSISTANTS.
The section hands along the road do moi
venture out after dark, owing TO the ierocity
OF the starving wolves, who are rendered
bold by hunger, the ground being covered
with snow and ice.
A man by the name of Mullen who left
Havs CITY to 60 to Saline has not been heard
from, probably frozen to death. Several par
ties have been recently frozen in that region.

The long, arched, narrow eyebrow is the
prettiest, a. We all know, but 1t is rare. Ii
would not be 30 rare, however, if little
more care were taken IN Its cultivation dur
ing early youth. For instance, il a cbild's
eyebrows should threaten to be thin, brush
them softly every night with little cocoa
nut oil, and they will gradually become
strong and full; and, in order 10 give them a
curve press them gently between the thumb
and fore finger after every ablutlon OF the
face and hands. Simple as this may seem,
have known the most wonderful effects result
from it. | have seen girls with wide, stray
Cling eyebrows reduce them into an archlike
shape within a year, solely by these means,
and surely all will allow that they are per-
missible Then, again, as regard eyelashes,
every mother knows that she has only to
clip her baby's eyelashes while it sleeps,
and continue the process during its childhood,
to render them as long and luxuriant a. a
Circassian's. Yet how few think OF taking
this precaution, which, indeed, is as neces-
siry as cutting the hair, for those who study
their daughters future beauty. Let ladies,
however be aware how they try the expert
ment ON their own lashes, for they 90 not
grow after certain age. ! remember a
Young friend of mine who had received from
nature as rich AN eyeiid fringe As woman
could have, and who, In her young wisdom,
thought 10 make il richer sill by clipping
il. She did clip il, and quite short. When
next | saw her there was only thick, dark
stump round her eyes, which stump has re-
manned ever since, for the fringe never grew
again. Childhood is the time for cropping,
not womanhood.

the second volume containing, besides other
matter, chronological, geographical, and
other tables much needed for reference.
