THE TOMB OF LEE.-Beneath the Chapel,
covered with plain marble slab, lie the re-
mains of Lee. Simple flowers are laid by fair
hands, and with a grief too deep for utterance,
a mourning people visit the spot to gaze upon
these tokens of affection. Flowers have been
sent from the far South to lay beside these
more hardy plants of Virginia's soil.
One wreath of autumn leaves alone has q
card attached, on which is written: "Flowers
mourn for Virginia's Lee." Every day a stu
dent, selected by the acting President of the
University, is in charge of tomb, together with
the Generals Office, where his books and papers
remain Just as he left them.
There is the chair in which he used to sit,
and the table upon which he used to write, and
in various parts of the room are the articles he
used almost daily. Every attention is shown
to visitors, and all are invited to come and see
these precious things as often as they may de
sire. Already the friends Office are begin:
ming to offer suitable mementoes to be placed
in the memorial room, the entire lower part OF
the chapel being devoted to the dead. From
New York there will come bronze statue, and
from New Orleans a handsome painting of Lee
and Jackson; and as soon as it is known
throughout the land, people. from all parts will
vie with one another in filling this chamber
with such 'statuary and paintings as will be ap-
propriate C0Regidn. IL

THE TRIBUNE SpEAKErH.-Even that preju-
dice-blinded paper, the New York Tribune, is
disguised with the doings of the South Carolina
Legislature 4 correspondent thus describes
the closing scenes of the late session:
The session last night just before the close,
was disgraccful in tho highest degree. Ian
guage rough in every way was banded with a
license that is rarely witnessed outside of bar
rooms. Profanity and slang sbourded. The
House was a Babel of halfdrunk negroes clam
oring for hearing and some of the whites
were quite as drunk as their sable fellows, but
the sables had the plurality. About nine o'clock,
as was leaving the gallery of the House to
visit the Senate Chamber, the door-keeper told
me had better stay while longer, for he
thought there would soon be a fight and some
lively fun in the House. Ididnot take his ad
vice; for even fisticuf would not have been
more disgraceful to- the body than the uproar
that was prevailing, nor better worth seeing us
show. In the Senate l heard a mulatto SEN
ator, speaking from his desk as q Senator, re-
tort to another Senator, calling him Sonny"
Slang. and Billingstate were less in the Senate
than in the House, at that. A long letter could
be filled with the .unparliamentary language
that was used during the last four hours of this
remarkable session. T.. ,,.r. a.

A COUNTY AUDITOR IN TROUBLE
transactions of one Dr.. John Lunney, of Oar
lington, in the Land Commission, have already
been aired in this paper, and it seems that the
matter has now been brought to the attention
of the grand jury Of the County, who at the
last term made the following presentment:
The grand jury present that the late encum-
bent of the office OF Auditor for Darlington
County-Dr. John Lunney-has in many in
stances, abused the confidence reposed in him
as public officer, and sacrificed the interests
of the taxpayers to his private gains. Acting
as the agent for the Land Commission in Oar
lington, he purchased the lands known as the
'fWilds Estate" for S., 1865, and as the records
of the office of Mesne Conveyance will show,
afterwards conveyed the same lands to Charles
p. Leslie, Land Commissioner, for S11, ,60375,
making a clear profit of S., $3.50. This may
not be the only instance in which he has ap-
propriatcd. to his own use the hard earned
money Of the poor taxpayers; and the jury
earnestly hope that one who has 80 fagrantly
violated the public trust will be brought to
speedy and condign punishment

Taxes.

BY provisions Of the "Act to further amend
an Act entitled an Act providing for the asses
ment and taxation of property" passed at the
last session Of the Legislature, the taxpayers
of this State will be called upon in November
of this year. to pay theta1es of 1871. Here is
what the New York World says on the subject
The people of South Carolina are to be called
on this year to pay two years taxes, not to
speak of an extra tax of S448,0OO gold for
special Indebtedness. The custom heretofore
in this State has been to collect in each sue
ceeding year the preceding years tax, so that
rightly but the 1870 tax would be payable this
year; and thisf as being four times greater than
the whole amount necessary to support the en-
tire State government for a twelyemonth under
the old regime, would seem enough in all con-
science ;,buts enormous are. the sexactlens OF
the rascal State government that the tax 1of
1871 is to be called in ibesideT-nlaking one
whole years tax. to,.be collected now, and
another years. taxes in November, and the
i$44S; 1000 gold to be picked up during the year,
as it may be found that anybody has anything
left. As the. Charleston Courier remarks
'Those who occupy the State government might
as we'll at once pass. an. act confiscatlng the
property of every citizen, and appropriating the
proceeds to their own enrichment and self-ag-
grandizementn r. Probably, however, that is
merely in reserve when it is found that taxa
ton, at it's utmost, is too fragmentary and slow.
A Philadelphia negro, black as ink, who came
into South Carolina without dollar, and now
has six blooded horses, sleek as satin, in his
stables and other things according, is a type Of
the Republican rulers of the State; and that
negro must keep up his Style. e5a

A LARGE PIECE OF IRON REMOVED FROM
A MANS HEAD.-The Wilmington (Del.) Conf
me-c;aI gives the subjoined particulars, of an
explosion in laboratory in that city, and OF q
remarkable surgical operation necessitated by
it:
Mr.. Ferris Bringhurst, one of the members
of the firm of E. Bringhurst & Co., had been
announced to lecture that evening before the
Wurkingmen's Institute, and had gone down
to the laboratory to prepare some gas for sclen-
ti6c experiments He was evidently engaged
in making oxygen, using for the purpose an
iron retort, and had lifted the retort off the
furnace and placed it on the brick hearth, when
it exploded with terrible force, throwing pieces
of iron with great force about the room, one of
which struck Mr.. Bringhurst directly over the
left eye, completely destroying the eye and
crushing in the skull. He was found lying en-
tirely insensible against barrel, few feet
from the furnace, the blood streaming from the
frightful wound in his head and the whole
room bearing evidence of the terrible explo-
sion, which had sent pieces of the burst retort
tlving right and left, and burst the glass from
all the windows. as
Surgeons were called and all that their skill
could do was done. He lay all Saturday night,
Sunday, and up to noon Monday, i'll kind of
stupor. one-half of his brain doubtless para
lyzed by the pressure of his broken skull but
he still seems to retain some consciousness, and
though unable to articulate, showed that he
understood remarks addressed to him. !. On
Monday, noon, the surgeons removed large
piece of iron from his head. 1t was the half
of the L joint of one and one-quarter inch gas
pipe, its greatest length being two and three
quarter inches, and its weight three and half
ounces. 1t was completely imbedded in the
skull and brain, in such a manner that its
rounded edge was mistaken for the natural arch
of the bone. One of the physicians discovered
it in probing, and Drs Bush Porter and Askew
performed the operation of extracting it. It
was most difficult piece of surgery, but seemed
not to greatly increase the patients pulse or
otherwise PROSTATE him. 1t is astonishing that
the imbedding of such mass of iron in his
brain did not cause instant death. At noon on
Tuesday, lie remained in very much the same
condition as he has been in ever since the acci-
dent" 2

= A Washington letter of Thursday says
The dsintegration and generalization which
have been going on in the Republican party in
Congress since the 4th Of March, received q
most forcible illustration to-day in one Of the
most exciting and extraordinary scenes ever

General Butler, but five Republican members
arose in their seats and declined to serve on
the special committee to investigate the South,
which had beeu appointed yesterday. For two
hours there was storm of bitterness nvective,
elimination and recrimination, charges of trick

gress. The Democratic members poured, into
the main asles and viewed and listened with as
tonishment-a scene so remarkable that Genar-
al Butler even denounced it as disgraceful to
the party, the House and the country. That
side, however, did not participate in the debate,
but seemed willing that the Republicans should
fight it out on their present line, even if itpro-
tractcd the session all summer. The galleries
were quite full and enjoyed the display by bursts
of applause and roars Of laughter.

OVER MILLIoN.-The cotton receipts OF
this port are already over a million OF bales,
and the cry is still they come. Every boat
comes into port loaded downIto the guards, and
almost hidden from view blythe enormous piles
of bales Monday morning there were thirty
thousand bales on the levce, which, had been
brought in; between Friday night and Monday.
On Sunday twelve thousand bales were .on
board of steamboats, nearly the whole day,
waiting for sp2ee on thesleyee to deposit them.
And from ali quarters of the southwest come
reports of large quantities awaiting shipment.
With all, too, there remain thousands Of acres
unpieked, whitening thefelds formiles.. There
is not the labor to pick them nor. wouldn't pay
at present rates.. The price of'cotton now is
reduced to the rates before the war and with
nearly as large a product The efwonderiis how
this was. all done with free labor and the alb
sence of the negro women from the fields, and
in refutation of the prophecies and calcula-
tions of the most sagacious and ifarseeing The
remarkable favorableness of the season will &C
count for great DEAL but not for all of this i'm
mense production. Much iscdue to the newly
awakened enterprise and energy of the Southern
people 1t is now shown what our people can
do; they have, however, other qualities and vir-
tues to practice and cultivate, to prevent the
effects of over-production, ,t'to save the losses
consequent upon suddenly reduced prices.
Prominent among these are thrift and econo-
my. The waste and rcarelessness on our plan
tations is lamentables The engrossment of the
planters in the production of this single staple
produces neglect of those arts of saving and
management, without which no industry can
be made remunerative. 1t is. not so much the
large crops as the high costs at which they are
produced that makes the cotton product this
year so little remunerative. To command and
control the markets of the world we must bring
the cost OF production down to a lower figure.
This can be done, and even at present prices
cotton may be raised proftably throughout the
