DIR. T. E. Wilder our county treasurer

DR.. T. E. Wilder our county treasurer
is at present filing his appointments in
different parts of the county for the re-
ceipt taxes We are informed that tax
payers are paying up promptly in spite OF
the advice of many of the state papers to
defer the payment till the fifteenth of jan
uary next. AS taxes are one of the sure
things in this world we think the people
are sensible in paying them at time when
they are best able to do so, and avoiding
trouble in the future.
Mr.. J. D. Robertson school commission
er, is with the Doctor for the purpose OF
visiting all the school districts, with
view of making himself better acquainted
with the wants of the people and urging
upon them the necessity of having better
schools and more of them.

Official Paper Of the State and County
Largest Circulation in the County.
WHAT IS DEMANDED.

South Carolina new bonds selling at ~
cents on the dollar is sad commentary
upon our financial management. 1nves-
tors have evidently lost confidence in Off
cial statements. and do not believe that
our debt is only twelve millions as stated
by the governor, or sixteen as reported by
the treasurer otherwise our bonds would
not be begging purchasers at third OF
iheir face.
We are sorry to perceive spirit of fac
tious opposition to the recommendations
of the governors message looking toward
retrenchment. It is time that crimina-
ton and recrimination should stop be-
tween the legislature and the executive.
Let each address itself to repentance
The people demand that additional safe
guards be thrown around the treasury.
Let commission be created at once to
investigate and report upon its actual con-
dhion. The men appointed to do this
work should be of such character as will
carry a conviction Of the truth of their
statements to the mind Of the financial
world. Let us have the truth.
An amendment to the constitution
should at once be passed, and submitted to
the people at the next election, prohibiting
any increase in the State debt tor at least
ten years.
The people demand such action from
their representatives and no claims of
partisan expediency will be allowed to
shield members of the legislature from the
censure of the people if these plain duties
are neglected. The N. Y. Tribuaein some
severe comments upon the exposures ofthe
past few weeks well says:
We are heartily sick of the sentimental
attempts of ''party managers" to cover
ap the corruption, dishonesty and extraV-
Aqance Of the southern governments.
The plea that exposure of these frauds
will injare the republican party is as
wicked as it is silly. Better thousand
times that the party be rent asunder than
that any crime for which it can be justly
held res sonsible be covered up in its own
house. No party can long live with such
A cancer concealed in its bosom. But the
party is not responsible for the criminal
dishonesty of a few officials who bear its
name; though it would be justly held to
strict account if it should be accessory 10
any attempt at concealment OF the Of
fences to which we have called attention.

nay- On Friday last, when Hon. c. C.
Bowen appeared to qualify as member of
the House from Charleston, considerable
opposition was manifested to admitting
him to a seat, on account of some infor-
malities in the issuance of the writ. AT
ter bitter debate, he was admitted by a
vote of73 to 20. Having been sworn in,
Mr.. Bowen arose to explain. After al
luding briefly, but pointedly, to the oppo-
sition he had encountered, he showed his
hand, and announced his intention OF
waging vigorous war against the hing,
whose robberi,s he said he proposed to
unearth. He said the day had come when
these robbers would be made to suffer for
their conduct, and then and there pledged
himself to 'go fOr them"

TIE PRESID ENTS MESSAGE.

In his message the President states that
the relations of the United States with
foreign powers continue friendly. He re-
fers to tie settlement of the Alabama dis
pute by the lr, aty Of Washington, and
saws that the example thus set may be
followed by other civilized nations, and
finally, be the means of returning u pro-
ductive industry millions Of men who are
now retained to settle national DISPUTES
by the bayonet and broadside. He com
mends the United States minister and
consul at France for their course in pro-
tecting the interests Of German subjects in
Paris. lie speaks of the continued friend
ly relations between Russia and the Uni
ted States; referring to the visit OF the
Grand Duke Alexis, and to the hospitable
reception given to him. He recommends
the education of four American youths in
China, and he gives the history Of the
difficulty in the Corea, and leaves the sub
iect to the action Congress. AS to Cuban
affairs, he says that he has instructed the
American naval commanders in Cuban
waters to protect the lives and liberties Of
bona tide citizens of the United States.
He recommends Congress TO take meas
ures to support the lines of steamships be-
tween San Francisco and China and San
Francisco and Japan; also, to take steps
to bring about a return to specie pay
ments; also, to unite the telegraphic sys-
tenn with the postal system of the United
States. He defends the policy pursued in
reference to the stoppage of Ku-Klux out
RACES, and expresses the belief that, out of
the very numerous arrests made, no iDno-
cent person is in custody. In regard
to po ygamy in Utah, he relates the &C
ton of the Federal courts and authorities
there, and says that the Mormons will
not be permitted to violate the laws under
the cloak of religion; but suggests whether
children already born under the Mormon
system shall net be legitimatized. He
recommends the abolition Of all internal
revenue taxes, except those on spirits,
malt liquors, tobacco and stamps; also,
the revision of the tariff. He says that
the Indian peace policy has, thus far, re-
suited favorably, and he recommends the
formation of territorial government in
the Indian Territory. He suggests the
removal of all political disabilities, under
the fourteenth constitutional amendment.

A FATAL RAILROAD ACC1DENT.-On
Friday last, a sleeping car full Of passen-
gers was toppled down an embankment
near Florence, on the Wilmington and
Manchester road. A gentleman fortune
ately was able to extinguish the lamps in
the wrecked car, and thus saved us from
recording a more terrible calamity. The
weather was bitter cold, and the driving
rain, turning to sleet as it fell, formed in
icicles on the trees. The sufferings of the
wrecked passengers were intense, as most
of them had been asleep, and those in the
sleeping car were mostly undressed, and
lost all their clothing.
The forward part of he train did not
&aye the track and it came on to Flor
ence. Several passengers were badly
bruised, one of whom, Mrs. Dotterer, has
since died.

The Supreme Court on Saturday, in
the case of Dabney, Morgan & Co., against
the President and Directors of the Bank
of the State of South Carolina, filed de.
cision. that the bill.holders and Fire Loan
Bond-holders are creditors of the Bank,
and are entitled to its assets; that the Fire
Loan Stockholders are not creditors so as
to entitle them 10 share of the assets,
but are creditors of the State. Should the
assets be insufficient to pay the Bill and
Bondholders, then the State is liable for
the difference.

A BAD BRIDGE.-Last week as Mr..
Whitehead was crossing Rose Dew bridge,
near Bluffton, with team, the structure
gave way, precipitating Mr.. W., the wa
gon and mules to the bottom. Mr..
Whitehead escaped injury, the mules were
only slightly bruised, but the wagon still
remained at last accounts IN the water.
This bridge was carried away during
the storm last August, but the citizens
having occasion to pass that way erected
temporary structure, which, having be-
come now impossible, makes it very in
convenient for the citizens of Bluffton to
reach the railroad.
We understand a contract has been
awarded for rebuilding the bridge, and we
hope the Commissioners will see to it that
the contractor does the work at once.

TIME SOLD OUT.

Mr.. Crofut sold out the estate of dere-
lect and defunct horologist on Saturday
last. The administrator of the estate is
said to have become quite Moody in pre-
siding for 80 long period over the collec-
tion of diseased, dislocated and disused
time pieces, and finally concluded to throw
them upon the market in lot. From the
appearance of the stock we should say
that the owner died of despair. The
Tombs prison on a blue Monday never
presented greater array of 'hard old
cases." and although some of them held
their hands before their faces, it was only
affectation, for the jibes of the heartless
crowd brought not blush to their callous
faces. One old veteran attracted some
pity from belief that he was the original
"Watch on the Rhine" Another was
proved to be the " Larboard Watch" but
was unable to excite any sympathy.
In vain the auctioneer cried "Going,
Going" none of them would 60. In vain
he asked gentlemen to 'start them" No
one could do so, except Whitman, and he
wouldn't without deposit. Finally
Whit bid s7.37t peck, with the privi-
lege. Mr.. Crofut quoted all the "wise
saws and modern instances" on the SUBJ
iect of the value of time. The crowd
seemed to think they had more time than
anything else, and that when compared
to "grits," it was drug in the market.
Whit got the lot, bushel and half, be-
sides quarter of peck of wheels and
things, for $l9S7i.

THE JUDGEs.-It is thought that in the
approaching election for circuit judges,
the legislature will re-elect judges Orr,
Graham, Moses, and Melton. Judge Far
mer's place is being contested by John j.
Maher, a conservative lawyer of Barnwell.
Judge Rutland is likely to be succeeded by
Col c. W. Dudley, of Malboro'. Judge
Thomas will certainly be defeated.
