Conservatism VS.. RadicaIisna-Tise
Difference.

During the time from March, 1868, to
November, 1870, the State was under the
absolute rue ofthe Radicals and radical
ism. During that time these Radicals, in
the interests of g calpet-baggers" and noted
robbers and thieves, undertook to enrich
themselves out Of the people and their
credit by increasing the public debt
$2j,O00,OO0!!
There are the statutes undertaking to
make appropriations to that amount. The
people are familiar, to their sorrow, with
what was done with the bonds Of the State
after they were issued in pursuance Of that
legislation. They were worse than stolen !!
The Radicals then had absolute sway!
They did! The people know they did!
The world know they did! Civilization
execrates them fol- it {! And we'll it may.
From November, 1870, until now, the
Conservatives bore partial rule through
the Legislature only. How much did they
undertake to increase the public debt :?
Not a dollar. O0O,O00,000. Thus the
account stands as to increase Of the pub
lie debt of the State. Let the people
look at it.
The Radicals did more than steal mil
lions on millions. and this is undeniaDle.
The Conservatives, So far from plundering
| and ,lefraUding a dOWu-trOdden people,
did, Icy wise and prudent legislation, that
which cut down the current expenses of
our radical and essentially eXtravagant
| system Of State Government tens of thou
sands Of dollars per annum, rs we will
! show from day to day from the records.
! These Radicals have the unparalleled
/ efirortery to go before the people again
this year and ask the people to continue
| them in power. Was such shameless au-
| dacity ever seen before We think not
| They actually put forward the same lead
/ ing men who stood by and sustained their
| villainies and crimes against the State and
| people. They don't even pretend to a
/ ''new departure" They propose for the
! future without any apparent or pretended
| change. 1t is a notorious fact, that if they
| happen to find among them one suspected
! of being an honest man, they forthwith
! cast him under-he don't ansWerth2ir pur'
| pose. Mark what we say. \ number of
| men who have been recorded Radicals, but
| who have been III fact moderate Rcpubli-
! cans, will be turned out Of the Radical par
! that radicalsm and honesty and patriot
| honesty and virtue 90 up, ralicaliSm and
Radicals go down! We appeal to facts
patent to everybody 10 sustain us iii this
| unqualified declaration.
The Radicals, we repeat, undertook in
| two years Of their absolute rule to increase
the public burden $26,00O,000! Since No
vember, 1870, the people have ruled through
| the Conservatives in the legislature
pending that time the public burden has
not been increased one cent, but the Ordi-
nary expenses Of the State decreased tens
Of thousands Of dollars. SO tho public
records show.

Senator Sumner, in conversation with a

all events he is open in his opposition to
Davis. lie is said to be preparing pow
crful speech, which he will deliver upon
the first opportunity, reviewing the admin

violated the constitution, and how its his
tory is filled with all sorts Of corruption.
General Garfield and Mr.. LaWeS, whose
names We're mentioned by Senator
Upton to 4 Cincinnati reporter as
among those opposed to the nomination
of Grant, are considered alarmed lest their
standing in the party may be COM
promised. 1t has been generally under
stood here that neither eff these gentlemen
was very enthusiastic Tor Grant, and that
they would prefer some other person should
receive the nomination. The opposition
within the ranks of the Republican party
has always counted upon Dawes and Gar

openly oppose Grant, held themselves
ready to Join anything that promised sue
cessiul opposition. Tiptons statement,
however, seems to have been premature,
if not indiscreet, and both gentlemen have
authorized denial Of it. They say they
have no sympathy with the Cincinnati
movement, and do not wish to be counted
as among its supporters.

Secret Marriage of Matisssa Heron.


From San Francisco we have the intelli-
gence Of the death Of Mr.. Harvey Byrne,
who, it appears, was secretly married in
that city on the 10th of June, 1854, to the
celebrated actress Matilda Agnes Heron,
who is now en- route to San Francisco, for
the purpose Of cOntesting the will as the
legal wife Of the deceased. At the time Of
this marriage, Miss Heron was in the
zenith of her fame, and was regarded as
one If the most talented and fascinating
actresses on the American stage. The
honeymoon lasted but five brief days, and
on the 18th of June the romantic pair bade
each other a fond adieu, and the bride
sailed for Panama Oh the Sonora
to fulfil the engagement that was to
be her farewell to the stage, the
young husband remaining behind to at
tend to his business and to arrange his
affairs that he could join the object of his
idolatry at the time agreed upon. Turn
ing his whole attention now on his bust
ness affairs, he soon arranged matters to
his satisfaction, and within short time
sailed for New \ DIRK, buoyant with the
good hopes and high expectations love
alone can inspire in the human heart, hut
which, alas, were doomed to vanish, I. like
the baseless fabric of vison." He re-
NAMED with her but a single night, and
then their ea,thly path diverged forever.
It is only known Of this parting that the
Information affecting the young wife's con-
duct during her absence was now given him,
and that it must have been ofsuch charac-
ter that his sensitive nature could not Oye9
look With Il heart weighed down with agony,
! the disappointed man returned to San
Francisco. Ii Miss Heron is legally Mr..
Byrne's widow, She is entitled, under the
laws of the State, 10 One-half Of the prop
pItV acquired since the date OF the mar
riage-which is comprised in what is known
as ''Droadway Block on the northwest
corner Of Broadway and Kearney street,
which is said to be heavily mOrtgaged. If
she proves lis marriage, and that No
divorce was obtained, she, Of course, sub
jects herself TO prosecution on d charge of
bigamy, she having married a man named
Stoepel subsequently, and went by his
name. The entire estate of Mr.. Byrne is

SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE


began III Wilmington. 1t is within the
memory Of persons living here when the
crude material was shipped to Liverpool,
New ok and Philadelphia for manufac-
ture. The first stills established in Will
mington were made of iron and, in conse-
quence, the spirits of tupentine was dark,
about the color of French brandy, and
owing to the imperfect manner Of distilling,
the rosin was very black and quite Opaque.
In 1886 Mr.. Amos Wade, of New Berne,
; introduced the plan Of passing ID stream of
water into the still during the process.
This at once doubled the results and
brought the spirits off as clear as spring
! water, making the rosin transparent and
amber-2OlOred, and, III proportion to the
age and purity OF the crude turpentine, and
the care used III distillatiOn and straining,
the color varied, SO that we have now pre-
sented on the market about thirty shades
of roSin, grading from {" window Glass " to
= Black" or % Common
| Shortly after the improved method OF
! distiilation was adopted
MIR. BENJAMIN HAILETT
| established a diStiilery in Wilmington.
! His first shipment of spirits tIIrpentine was
! made to New Orleans, "pure white" and
| could not be sold because OF its color; pur-
! chasers cOntenaing that it was adllterated,
! because it was not Of the color Of brandy.
| He had to reship to New York before lie
! could sell, and even there had some diff
Guilty in disposing Of it. Now the principal
demand is for ''white'' spirits, and the
cololed can hardly be sold, and when sold
is at a discount for each "shade" below
" white"
To-day there are seven Gistillely estab-
lishments in Wilmington, running thirty
one stills, employing one hundIed and sixty
hands, and paying weekly wages amounting
to $3.50. We proceed to give the names
of the firms aud the number of stills owned
by each establishment, as follows ~

Fourth Dstrict-MARCELLUS EMERY.
The Misery at the South.

If any one had ventured to predict,
rich States of the South would arrive ut
their present poverty stricken condition,
it would have seemed as incredible as it
viii to the citizens. of the future, after the
present national usurpation shall have
been overthrow. We published not long
since a list of the fearful fraudulent in
debtedness under which that region is
sinking. the figures of which are simply
appalling.
The most painful case is that of South
Carolina. Carpet baggery there reached
the ideal perfection of its fathers. North
ern thieves, allied with southern vaga-
bonds and black ignorance, have fastened
like leeches ON the substance of that State.
and squeezed it to the last drop Of blood
The taxes have been more than the posi-
bic earnings OF the population and houses,
cattle, lands, and all accunulations have
been sacrificed to appease the tax
gatherer. In many cases no purchasers
could be found for estates forfeited for
non payment of taxes, and thus avarice
has defeated It's own ends
In March last the Legislature passed an
act enforcing the collection Of the unpa id
taxes Of 1868. 1869. 1870 and 1871 All land
and real estate liable for taxes or arrears
of taxes levied for the support OF the State
government during the last four years
were to be sold on and after the LIST of June.
1872, for the payment of such taxes, costs
and penalties. 1t was provided that the
sales should take place from day to day
until the whole were disposed Of The said
sales TO take place in the county seat Of
each county. and the land was 10 be sold
by the county treasurers.
This act was a knell Of doom to the
planters and taxpayers of South Carolina.
The crops last year We're bad, and they
were in no condition to pay taxes of 1871,
much less the accumulated arrears Oft the
three preceding years.
The sales commenced, according to
law. on June |. in each county seat in the
State, and are still progressing. The re-
suits are that large proportion of the
landed property OF the State will proba-
bly change hands. The property sold was,
lor the most part, at very low prices, con
siderably below the average value since
the war. In many cases there We're no
purchasers and the land was forfeited to
the State. There is little money and no
credit in the State and as a result sales
were only possible at fearful sacrifice.
Possibly the value OF the property may
have been affected by doubts as to the IT,
tie given to purchasers by the State
doubts occasloned by the mutations and
chances incident to carpet-bag rule. But
in any event, the losses and injury to the
material interests of the State, by bad and
reckless legislation, are great and serious,
and must retard its prosperity for many
years. To say the least, it is not pleas
ant spectacle to see State in the hands
of the Sheriff, and sold out for non-pay-
ment of taxes.
