In Denmark the building societies form an
important feature of social life. In 1868 Messrs
Burmeister and Vain (the latter gentleman is

the house is credited to the occupant, who in
twenty-eight years would thus repay the capital,
and be entitled to the conveyance of the house
in fee. Members who do not win are entitled
to reclaim the entire amount of their deposits
after eighteen years. The society has built

auFsTIoN nF FACT.

As We have already said the charges made
against the Levy Court and other County Off
cials are Of such character, that they can only
be determined by full testimony as to the facts.
We shall be greatly surprised,i if on aproper test
before competent tribunal, they are not proven
accurate and just, to the uttermost letter. We
presume that the United States District Attorney
will proceed, in due time, and by appropriate
methods to bring enc or more test cases before
the Courts. If the matter is as we believe it, the
offence committed against the rights of hundreds
Of citizens has been most fragrant, and deserve.
condign punishment.
Pending this proof, we accept the ideas of the
Advertiser, that ''if the charges were only "par-
tisan outcry' they deserve rebuke, but if they
are correct and true, the guilty parties must bear
the consequences. Let us have the trial as to

The Milford Ne,cs fully considers this week
the very unfair statements of the Gazette, of

Equal Representation. 1t re-states its former
utteranees in behalf Of that principle, conceding
representation according to population, with the
qualification, simply, that members of the Leg
islature shall be chosen by Districts. With this
one point conceded the Ne'os is fully in favor of
Equal Representation, instead of being " fair
and square against it, as the Gazette most un-
blushingly asserted. And as the District system
is right and proper in itself question is raised
at all, against the great refoEn, by the NetcS,
but it acquiesces in the moyement in favor of it.

We have had the pleasure of seeing
the "Conquered Banner" design for one
of the bas relief of the proposed monu.
ment to the Confederate dead Of South
Carolina.
The conception is touchingly beautiful
and we'll carried out in all its parts. In
the foreground stand all the embiems Of
warfare devised and broken, over which
droops in mournful waves G tattered
Confederate Gag.
Below is the shield of the Confederacy,
draped with funera! pail, while by its
side lies the vo:celess harp Of the South.
The design reflects great credit on the
genius and taste Of the young artist,
Charles A. David, Esq, OF Greeuville,
young man who has just graduated
with distinction at Wofford College.
We learn that Mr.. DaVid's artistic
talent is entirely self.tvained, but We
hope that he will use the means to cult.
vate this rare gift. Ifhe does, nc predict
that he will one day become an artist
whom bis native State will claim With
just pride.
