No more delightful travels are printed in

equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its. scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention OF the learn

Lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion Of Useful knowledge"
/ The great design of Harper's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses OF people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
ier's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
itelligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines &, are accumulated.

any sum of money remained due for delinquent
taxes for the years 1868, 1869, 1870 and 1871

and conveyed in fee simple, without the equi-
ty of redemption" is to be construed with the
other portion of that act, and the words econ
veyed in fee simple without the equity Of re-
demption," are construed to mean that, after
the expiration of "ninety days." a deed in fee
simple may be given to the purchaser or per-
son having the right to such real property,
and that after such time there shall be no such
right of redemption.
The question as to the validity ofthe act of
the General Assembly of March 18th, has not
been raised in such manner as to warrant
me in passing upon it. think it is enough
to say in this case, that when a contract is
made by the State with its citizens relative to
their taxes, such taxes being due and unpaid
at the time of the making of such contract, or
becoming due during the existence ofthe same,
and stipulates that when taxes on real estate
become due under it, such real estate shall be
sold for such taxes, and the person or persons
owning such real estate shall have two years
after sale in which to redeem it, the State is
bound by every rule that governs pure, just
and enlightened conscience in an Individual,
to carry out such contract in letter and IN
spirit.

ABBEVILLE AGAIN IN ASHES.


Another terrible fire has devastated Able,
vile. We have hardly yet recovered from
the confagration of that night of horrors in
last January, when the Marshall House and
Knox Range were destroyed, and now the
fire fend has again run riot in the fairest
portion of our town. The shrill cry of "6re!'
reused the inhabitants at about one o'clock
this morning, and fire ragged until late this
afternoon. The streets have been filled with
wrecks of burning buildings, piles of mer-
chandise rescued from destruction, flying FAM
lilies startled from their slumber by the spread
of the flames, and the day has been one of
great excitement
The new Court House is burned, and with
it have been destroyed all the books and re-
cords of the various county officers, including
the Offices of the Sheriff, Clerk of Court and
County Commissioners This will cause in
caculable confusion in the settlement of &C
counts, the trial of criminal cases and the ad-
iustment of land boundaries. 1t is impossi-
BILE now to give all the losses in detail, but
the general result may be stated as follows ::
One-fourth of the finest business part of Ab-
beville, which was fast rising from the ashes
of last winters conAagration, has again been
destroyed, and the loss in buildings and mer-
chandise will not fall short of fifty thousand
dollars. Of this amount, perhaps one-half is
covered by insurance, mostly in Southern
companies Many of the losers are ruined,
Others are almost covered by their insurance.
The blow is crushing one, and it would al
most seem that terrible fatality attends the
old town of Abbeville. The merchants, how
ever, are undaunted even by this double dis
aster, and if their insurances prove good, most
of them will rebuild. The origin of the fire
is supposed to be the result of accident.-Spe-
cial telegram. to the Charleston NesUs.

SENSIBLE REFLECTIONS.

The following article on the result of the
Presidential election is from the New York
Tribune, and is said to have been written by
Horace Greeley:
The general result of our late Presidential
election shows that
I. The objections to General Grants rule
originally urged by Senators Sumner, Schurz
Trumbull, &c.,. were forcibe and we'll groun-
ded. Many of the most respectable of the
journals which, on either side Of the Atlantic,
vigorously urged the Presidents reelection,
now insist that the abuses thus proclaimed
must be acknowledged and corrected; some
of them demand, in addition to the reforms
specially promised. at Philadelphia, others
still more radical and thorough.
II. But, where thousands admitted that the
criticisms aforesaid were just, far fewer were
ready to accept the only alternative presented.
They say they would have supported Adams,
or Davis, or Trumbull; but not Greeley.
Hence the vote is quite light, even in States and
districts where the contest was spirited.
III. The great mass of our people feel no
sympathy for those they still regard as rebels.
On the contrary, they hold that these have
been treated more leniently than they deserve.
The majority will tolerate, not approve, the
gift of Office to Longstreet, an Akerman, a
, Settle, who has been baptized into the Repub-
lican church but they are not willing that
any others shall hold Office where they can
prevent it.
w. Whichever party carries in October
two of the three central States-Pennsylvanla,
Ohio, and Indiana-is morally certain to
choose the President in November There
has been no exception to this rule, save in
1924, when Jackson carried Pennsylvania and
Indiana, and had plurality of the electors
chosen, but Adams was elected by the House
V. These two States having gone for Grant
| in October, not only was the contest virtually

HAIR-TRIGGER TALK.-Gen. N. B. For
rest, of Tennessee, publishes a card in the
Memphis Appeal in answer to certain charges
reported to have been made against him dur
ing the late campaign by Gen. Hammond, of
Missouri. The substance of the charge made
by Gen. Hammond is that the gigantic pub
lie robberies in reconstructed Alabama, which
have been notoriously the work Of the Radi-
cal rulers of that State, are equally chargea-
BILE to the Democrats, and that General For
rest, as President of the Alabama and Chat
tanocga Railroad, had profted by them.
Gen. Forrest knocks the bottom out Of these
allegations by showing that he never was
President of that railroad, and by other and
equally conclusive answers, and then goes for
the redoubtable General beyond the Missis-
sippi in the following style:
This is not the first time have been per-
sonally traduced by persons who bear the title
of Federal officers, and on former occasion
I have branded such charges in such terms
(if there had been proper military courage to
back up an INSULT as afforded ample oppor-
tunity to my assailants.
now propose to offer the same opportunity
to General Hammond, to whom | desire to
address myself in plain and unmistakable
terms, not stronger than the imputation upon
me deserves, but so plain that his understand
ding of my meaning and purpose cannot be at
fault He is liar, q can use no other Ian
euage to one so base,) cowardly puppy and
scoundrel. If he owns the title of General
in the Federal army, he disgraces it; and if
have anything like justice and fair dealing
at the hands of the journal that published his
unprovoked and wanton outrage upon me
this brand of liar, coward aud scoundrel will
spread as far as his slander, and live longer
That he may be assured of my willingness tc
