yesterday without reaching basis Of
settlement on which the charges against

Clafin University.

+
The Second Annual Commencement
exercises of tho Claflin University, were
held in this Institution on the Goth and
2lst instants. The Examination of the
Primary Classes continued throughout
the first day, and reflected great credit
upon the Instructors and pupils. The
prompt and correct answers to questions
proponnded by visitors, as we'll as teach
ers, showed that great care had been
taken to lay a sure foundation for future
scholarship.
The exercises of the day were conclu-
ded by an address upon Education from
judge Wright of the Supreme Court.
tThe lecture abounded in practical ideas
and WAS delivered with such earnest ess
and ability, that it commanded the un-
dirid attention Of the large audience for
nearly two hours.
Tho examination of the higher classes
occupied the second day Very many
of the students are deserving Of the
highest praise for the degree of prof.
cheney to which they have attained du-
ring the pat year. The exercises in
Mathematics, Geography aud Latin wer Q
admirable, and would convince the most
determined advocate Of the infcriority of
the negro race, that the color Of the
skin docs not affect the brain.
: The Annnal exhibition was given ON
"Wednesday the 2lst inst, and is worthy
Of con,mcndation. The dsclanntions
and orations Of the students were well
delivered aud showed considerable ora

steal phrase, "The Constitution mnst b..

tors of our Democratic newspapers have
Such talk is the vcricst bos!l. By and
by our contemporary will be brought to
think it worse. Why, its own children
will laugh at its short siehtedncss som, of
these days. OF course i. matters not to
us what doctrine Democratic editors may
advocate, so they don't follow the Val
landisham idea, and steal our livery to
fight us in. For them to stick to
their constitutional hcresies will make
the fight all the more easy for us. The
"new departure" is going to be ridicu-
lous failure, because its author has taken
a real undoubtcd departure, and can no
more contribute his mite towards ,he
enlightenment of Democratic block
heads
So upon the whole, with the Sumter

tion as it was prior to the war between
tho States, and yallandigham gone, VIC
have nothing to fear.

caught refuse to give their names, and
resort to any sort OF trick in order to
avoid being rated at all. They operate
openly on the false maxim that they owe
no obedience to the laws, except the Off
Ger catches them and forces them to com
ply with its requirements. All law, in
their apprehension, is criminal law-to be
escaped from if possible. But with the
respectable class of citizens, the notion is
perhaps too popular, that their duty under
the law, unless q penalty is affixed for
neglect, may reasonably be left undone OR
delayed; that unless the law is brought
to their doors its demands may be sighted.
Such notions increase, very largely, an
Assessors work, and cause some of those
errors and mistakes, or hardships, about
which those who are most dilatory and
neglectfui are generally the most active
in making complaints.

Assessing.

We understand from the Assessor OF
this District, that there are quite num-
Der Of the tax payers with whom blanks
were left early in July, who have not
made their returns, although the last day
fixed by law for such returns to be made
has passed. The advantage to every man
ofmaking valuation of his own property,
and of satisfying the Assessor at the start
that he has made fair valuation thereof,
is so much above that of allowing himself
to be rated at valuation arrived at by
the Assessor by indirect methods, that
there appears to be no good reason for
any neglect in making returns promptly
and in season.
Those who have not made their returns
will certainly have no reason to complain
of hardship if a valuation is assessed upon
them beyond what they would have set
down themselves; or that sufficient time
was not allowed them to prepare and
make their returns. Dilatoriness on the
part of the citizen can not relieve the
Assessor from the requirements of the
law, as to his duties in making up his
roll, although it may put unnecessary OBJ
stacles in his way.
The penalty by our law for declining
or refusing to make list" is the subject.
ing of the property to valuation by the
Assessors according to the best informa-
ton within their reach, and the same shall
be binding upon all persons interested"
Common report is an unreliable witness,
in that It is apt to overestimate the prop
erty of individuals, yet very wealthy
persons have been known to pay taxes
levied on the basis obtained in this way.
But men in moderate circumstances, or
but just getting on in the world, it seems
to us, would prefer not to be rated by
common report. Yet this is generally
the chief means by which an Assessor
must arrive at the standing of those who
do not rate themselves. The laws in other
countries contain provisions to meet, not
only the cases of those who do not make
returns at all, but of those who are dila-
tory, by affixing penalty of per cent.
increase upon the valuation returned
when it is not made by certain date,
and still larger per cent. when not made
at later fixed date, and so on covering
all the time allotted by law for the assess
ment. as
Such penalty, of course, makes it an
object for the tax payer to make his re-
turns promptly at the opening of the
assessment, thus expediting the public
service, while if he subjects himself to
the penalty it can hardly be called a
hardship, inasmuch as it is assumed vol
unfairly.
The number of those who seek to eTades
assessments through lack of sufficient
moral principle to be thoroughly honest,
and belief that it is smart cheat the
revenue of their quota whenever it is
practicable, is sufficiently large in every
community, and of course when successful
they throw their proportion upon the
honest tax payer. Men of this stamp
dodge the Assessor in his rounds, or when
