What the Radical Papers say OF the
State Government.

The Charleston Republican, speak
ing of the present Legislature, &C
knowledges its guilt. ltsays:.
"The people have had enough Of
this Legisloture. The fnances Of the
State are in a sufficiently bad condi
ton, already, without the Legislature
attempting to tamper with them;
"The State and the Republican
party would have been. much better
off, ii the last Legislature had never
met. We upderstand,, upon the very
best authority, that the amount OF
nav certificates issued for the last scs-
sSn amount to Sl20Q,o0O. JUS
think of it-one session OF the Legis-
lature has cost the State over a mil
lion dollars! All the receipts from
the license tax are being used to pay
off this immense Indebtedness"
The Missionary kecord, also Repub-
lican thus asserts the truth in refer
ence to the real situation.
1.-The fearful maelstrom into which
our State finances have been sweep
inr for the last year, continues with
ont any abatement, but increased We
locity. There is 'com mendable pro
eress' from bad to worse the last
yestlre Of honor has departed from
official pledges in the Treasury De
parment, and no reliance whatever
can be placed in any declaration
made. To-day the State cannot Sc
cure credit for one hogshead Of bacon
in Columbia to. feed the lunatics nor
tho deaf and dumb. If ever there
was a demand for revolution in the
Stats Government that time is now.
There ie no bope for the people while
these men rule this State as they
have, ruin! ruin Il! ruin!!! is the
proper designation for our present IL
nancial condition, The tax has been
levied, they are being collected, every
body that gets q days work has to
pay license Of ten dollars for his sal
ary. Every man, woman and child
that plies vocation, which brings in
! living, must pay tax and take out
license; and tho result is that all
person, are oppressed from one end
If the country to the other, The only
.omedy for these evils lies in the bal
lot-box, and in the peoples fidelity to
themselves, this coming election
If they have not enough to move
them now, then there is degrada-
ton to which they descended Of which
we could not have believed them ca
pable. There must be uniting Of
all classes as against common foe

"Tho people of every County

and a general discussion of all matters

WHOSE HANDSOME HOUSE IS THAT?
Such was the inquiry of a traveller as
he passed an unusually well finished
country residence, not Il thousand miles
from here. The style Of the sashes, the
brightness Of the glass, the beauty Of the

ings, the neatness of the balusters, and
the stateliness of the pillars around the
piazza, all struck the traveller with as
tonishment and admiration. And no

And death fell in showers

In their glory repose;

THE TENACITY OF TRUTH.-When
q nation as clear-headed as the Ameri-
cans once become convinced, from long
experience and observation, that an ar
ticle possesses superior excellence as a
medicine, not all the preposterous clam
or of all the worthless nOstrum vendors
in the universe can shake their belief
in its efficiency. Truth is very tena-
cious thing, as these worthless are begin
ming to discover. PLATATIoN BIrrERs
has too firm ho!I upon the popular Is
tcen to be in the slightest degree eflec-
ted by the cold water diatribes which
the advertisers Of fermented slops with
out particle Of alcohol" are SO fond of
launching against alcoholic preparations.
The public knows very well that this
peerless renoyant and tonic does contain
spirits, but it also knows that they are
of the purest and most wholesome des-
cription, viz: fine old ST. CroiX, the
most active and beneficial diff'user of its

DAILY GAZETTE.
A Noticeable Fact.

That the meeting held in the Institute OH Sat-
urday night to ratify the nomination of Grant and
Wilson was no larger in numbers than the meet
ings OF that party were usually. notwithstanding
the whole negro population was called on to sweIl
its Dimensions. The .rssponse of the negroes OF
both sexes was immense, and must have number
I'd, yosng and old, nearly thousand. But the
absence OF the whites to the same extent is note
worthy fact that Radical politicians were elag-
riued to witness, and it is a disagreeabls subject
which they shirk with shrug. when their atten-
tiou is called to 1t. The meeting was the tamcst
of the kind ever held and has operated like wet
blanket upon the party the effect OF which it will
