RIGHTS OF THE BANKRUPT.

Registrar W. l. Clawson, of Yorkville,
has issued the following explanation of
the rights of the bankrupt, which;applies
generally.
As doubts have been expressed as to
the extent of the relief afforded by the
bankrupt act of 1867, and the several
amendments thereto, / deem it proper to
make the following statement:
The amendment to the act, approved
10th June, 1872, allows to the bankrupt
all the property exempted by the laws OF
each State of force in 1871, in addition to
the five hundred dollars worth of prop
erty allowed under the original act.
This gives to each bankrupt in this
State two thousand dollars worth of
property, to wit One thousand dollars
worth of real estate and one thousand
dollars worth of personal estate. After
the bankrupt has been discharged this
property becomes his absolute estate, to
dispose of as he chooses, either by sale,
gift, devise, or otherwise.
1t is not necessary, as has been sup
posed, that the estate Of the person ap:
plying shall pay fifty per cent of all his
debts but if the estate which COMES to
the hands of the assignee is sufficient to
pay fifty per cent of his individual debts,
contracted since the lst January, 1869,
exclusive of the debts contracted. before
that time, he is entitled to a full dis
charge from all his debts. II it is not
sufficient still he is discharged from all
individual debts contracted before that
time, and from all security debts. wheth-
er contracted before or after that time,
leaving nothing to be paid bu. his iDdi-
vidual debts contracted after lst January,
1869.

The Arsenal Entertainments.

All Beaufort turned out to see the fun
promised at the Arsenal on Tuesday and
"Wednesday nights. The shadow panto-
mines were a great success, and the tab
leaux were pleasing. The stage arrange
ments and scenery, the work of Mv. Me-
Gregor, were very tasty and all were sur
prised at the success of his attempt to
give us a miniature theatre. We hope
the fixtures will be preserved: and that
during the winter several such amusing
performances may be given.

Wheat i'm California.

The, California. papers contain
glowing accounts of the great wheat
crop which has been harvested in that
State this season, and which promises
to swell the expert trade OF San
Francisco for the present season to an
unprecedented amount. One hundred
cargoes of wheat have already been
shipped to England, twenty-five more
vessels are now loading, and from ~
to a hundred more now on their
way to that port from various ports OF
the world are engaged for the same pur
pose. Wheat growing now looms up
above all other agricu 'Lural interests on
the Pacific coast, and there appears to
be danger that the farmers will make
the mistake Of devoting their efforts
too exclusively to this one staple. The
absence of rain during the harvesting
season is peculiarly favorable to the
gathering of the grain, and if the vast
product Of the ranches can be got to
market, the California wheat-erOwers
will speedily become formidable rivals
of the farmers of the Mississippi valley.
Thirty millions of bushels is the esti'
mated crop for this year. Although
most of this product will be shipped to
the European ports, quite large
Quantity has been sent East by railroad,
and when the projected Pacific railroads
are completed the Eastern demand for
the cereals of the Golden State will be
largely increased The farmers are
putting their money into cereal roads,
and in few years the entire State Will
be spanned with system OF narrow
gauge railroads, which will, Of course
directly stimulate agricultural pro
duction in all parts of that wonderful
State.

COUNTY CHECKS FOR TAXES.

We have made c0nS!deraOIe enquiry
and can find 10 other authority than Gus
tom for the reception by the treasurer Of
checks for taxes. The equity Of the Gus
tom. of course, cannot be disputed but
we think it nevertheless a pernicious one.
The constitution of the State prevents
the State treasurer from taking anything
for State taxes except gold and silver or
the national currency. One ground Of
objection against the Blue Ridge bond
scrip was that its reception for taxes was
in contravention of this constitutional
provision. The reason for adopting
such rule by the State is obvious. In
no other way would it be possible to
ascertain the income of the State in ad-
vance. No calculations could be made
up1n receiving any certain sum to meet
the current liabilities.
The same reasoning applies equally to
the county treasury. The levy for county
purposes has been made. It is ample to
meet the expenses of the county for tie
year and leave'a surplus which could be
applied to the gradual extjnguishment OF
the county debt. But if the treasurer is
allowed to take county checks for taxes
the prospect is that nearly, if not all, the
levy will be swallowed up by checks. A
few men in Beaufort viii pay two-5hirds
OF the taxes in county checks. a regu-
larbusiness is made of buying county
paper and tFen soliciting from tax payers
the privilege of settling their accounts
with the treasurer. We cannot see how
the county can be run next year, except
upon the ruinous credit basis, Of the past.
unless stop is put to this business.
If there shoald be received thirty
thousand dollars in checks in payment OF
taxes, the debt is no; thereby reduced.
For the expenses of the county would
then have to be paid by new checks on a
credit basis, aud at the cnI Of the year
we would still owe our pr sent de5J, if
hot a larger one.
Our proposition therefore, i, that the
county commissioners order the trea: HGer
hot to receive checks for taxes, AMI to
suspend the payment Of all checks issued
s'nce September l, 1872. The checks
issued since tha, time have been issued
contrar; to law Let them wait for Il
funding BILL
If it is objected that those to whom
the county is indebted ought to be al,
lowed to pay their taxes in check We
will concede it. r.: the rule b. 20 re-
laxcd that nil those to whom heck has
recn issue may use them in payment OF
taxes; but let third parties he dc2aTcd.
Under such "a rule probably siX OK ,c:cm
thousand dol ars of the county tex w'u'j
be received in checks, AUD that amount
would then be really retired, and tie
debt, by so much, reduced.
Ifthis advice is followed the county
expenses. by economy and ca.h payment:
may be brought inside Of twenty-tour
thousand dollars. As we showed last
week, the levy will produce about ST.
O9o. Dcducting $4,000 for current cX,
penses. there will remain 900 to be
applied to the extingui>hmcnt Of the
debt.
There may be some error CT i;llac2 in
this view of our affairs. If there i W.
would like to haye it pointed cut.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The Liberal and Democratic editors
.are unanimous in their praise Of the
bearing and conduct of Mr.. Greeley
during the canvas. The new York E,c-
press:
He has not, from the start, in any
thing, demeaned himself as man. and in
no way stopped to conquer. He has
made no mistakes. So far from lacking
discretion. which many Of his friends ap.
pretended. he has shown wisdom and
sound Judgment from the beginning Of
the canvas to its close. When in New
Engla d he uttered but one word ior his
party or upon politics; but after the as
sauIts upcn his character, and upon his
position, prompted by the urgent request
of his supporters, he spoke his mind
with great freedom in the Vest and
nearer home. In his last tour he spoke
to over 200 audiences. and it IS but truth
to say that in al! his utterances he showed
both wonderful tact and the greatest pos
sble knowledge upon the subjects on
which he discoursed.
The Brookln Eagle says:
NJ. Greeley, too, is man of too much
ability to be elected President. lie be-
longs to ;he cerebral aristocracy. Grant
becomes vet another proof Of the prefer
cnce of republics for mediocrity. Second
rate men as to ability have been execu-
tves for p years. The people incline to
invest with the Office men Of stupidity;
Of low cunning. Of conventional gifts
and habits. TE,y fear a genius. They
hesitate to honor men Of striking, origin
al character. They honor average men
and set aside able men. They choose
PicrccS. iincolns. and Grants, and dis
card Grcc!cyS, Wcbstcrs, Chases, Clays,
and Stewards.
The New York Star says
OF Mr.. Greeley it would be difficult to
speak in terms Of over-praise Taken
suddenly from the harness Of 30 years,
he modcstly accepted the situation, and
has stood a mental, moral and physical
test greater than any known in many
wears. As a man. he has become fastened
in the hearts of the public. As a speak
er. he has disclosed marvellous varieties
of culture and tact As candidate, he
has been prudent, discreet, calm and
considerate. He will return to his labor
as quietly and decorously and naturally
as ever he went to It's pleasant duties,
afording superb illustration of the
possibilities Of Il republic, where a man,

Democrats Responsible for Grants
Election.

The rAurns from the several States
show that The Liberals. have been faith
ful to their pledges, but that a sufficient
number or Democrats have abstaincd
from voting or have voted for Grant and
Wilson to give them decisive majority.
By their contentious and divisions the
democrats enabled the Republicans to
elect lincoln in 1860, and again in 1861,
and Grant in 1858. But never before
did a portion Of the Democratic party
contribute 50 much and 50 directly to the
lleitar OF their Presidential candidate as
in the contest wAich has Just closed.
Not only did large body Of, Democrats
refrain from voting for Mr. Greeley, bat
another large body Of them voted for
Gen Grant; and to these two classes,
rather than to the Republican party, he
is indebted for his election to second
tenn. These facts illustrate in very
striking manner the instability Of parties
