A Tremendous national Financial

Sclcntsta
/ While our lawzsiyers at Columbia are
deciding upon how heayilyiwe are to be
taxed, let us acSnts smplate for "a moment
anew national financial scheme. The
telegraph Informs us that Mr.. Wheeler,
apember5f COM iSess from the State Of
New York has intrpd dueed bill into the
House atoinecorpo 81 llttheG Governor and
Managers Of the Exchsque uefpf the United
States of America It is proposed to
set the formidable machinery at work
with the trifing sum of one hundred
million of dollars as capital; and one
of the main features Of the scheme is the
provision that if, aftera given time, the
whole capital be hot subscribed, then
any national b;Ink now existing. mey
I,subseribe-thewdloas- -or.any .parts-ofcits
capital, and consolidate and becomemerg-
ed into this corporation, provided that it
thereby aband dons its present organiza-
ton and winds up It's present existence,
and its owners accept, in lieu Of their
present shares in any such bank, shares
in this corporation Of equal value. But
no bank now existing can exercise this
privilege without the concurrence and
approval Of the proprietors Of the !" Coy,

The, central office is to bc in Now York,
and fifteen branch offices are to be estab-
lished inlthe larger cities. The machine
ry of this association is to be as cornplii
Gated as its size would indicate, and the
proposition is apparently finding the
usual favor which is bestowed in Admin.
istratiQn circles upon similarly wild and
dangerous financial measures. ~ y

be trained for Him; and then told her
husband that he was, nearest her heart,

rational to the last moment. She leaves
. husband, eight children, and many re-
lstives and friends: to mourn their loss,
but their loss has been her eternal gain.
Her remains were carried to Newberry

Let w Expunge no Such Record.

Senator Sumner makes u motion In
Congress TO strike from the flags and
Army Register Of the United States all
records of battles fought with fellow
citizens. Senator Sumner undoubtedly
means we'll. And the North can afford
to do this thing, but the South cannot.
The North, with her huge power during
tho war, her huge wealth, her huge
armies of foreigners--and with her Re-
construction Acts since the war, and her
Enforcement Acts, and her Carpet-Bag
busipess-can afford to expunge the
record. She was not and has not been
,nagnanimous, and it were better for her
to blot out the record.
But the splendid heroism and devotion
of the South in contending five years
against such fearful odds, is tale we
would wish to keep alive. Let us keep
it fresh in our hearts and i'll our archives.

The New Judge of Our Circuit.

AS regards the new Jadge, we cannot
do better than endorse the following gen
erous and sensible words of the Column
,bia Carolinian of Saturday last. Our
friend Youmans, is universally admired
and esteemed in Edgeaeld; and 1t would
have given Edgefeld pride and pleasure
to welcome him as presiding officer Of
her Courts. But as Mr.. Youmans. is
young and eminently progressive, we
consider this pleasure only deferred for
q few years:
The election for Judge of the Fifth
Circuit came off yesterday and resulted
in selection of ex-Judge R. B. Carpen-
ter. Our first preference was for Mn.
Youmans. He was put forward by the
ber; was warmly endorsed by the Cir
cult; is gentleman Of eminent legal
attainments, OF the highest character, and
had attracted our support hefure Judge
Carpenters name was suggested as can
didate. The election has not ended Us
we desired, but there Is nothing to grieve
for and no censures to, ,be made. - ce,.is
Judge Carpenter will be highly accept
able to tire Circuit. Ee received the
highest encominms. of the Charleston Bar
as a Judge two years ago. OF his capac
ity DO cne can doubt, and he is known
to he fearless and premptin in the discharge
of his official duties. 1t hos been said
by those who have practiced in his court
! that thero is no man except, perhaps,
Chief Justice Chase, who can equal him
in tho dispatch of business and sound
eItempore judicial opinions. There was
| no money used In the election. A capa-
BILE officer has been chosen, and there Is
| nothing to carp at,
It is said. by some wiseacres. that the
election of Judge Carpenter looks to the
yalidation OF the Blue Ridge Revenue
Bond Scrip. We are unable to see any
reasonable apprehension OF such a catas.
trophe. The scrip business as we be.
| lieye, and have frequently declared, was
q fraud in its incipiency. Should the
Scrip be legalized, the State would suffer
q considerable loss, but the administra.
ton would also be greatly crippled.
| Thereon we base our faith that 1t Will
never be made good. The State Govern
ment will never be readily inclined to
receive ReYegpe Bond Scrip for taxes,
worth at most 20 or 10 GENTS OH the dol
lar, when they cqn got greenbacks or gold
instead: II those in power are paid
enough for it, perhaps they might be
| inJuced 10 favor something of the kind.
Such has been the custom of the coun-
try for several years past, but we cannot
spe how It is practicable in this instance.

Police Court one hundred dollars and
costs, for refusing to wait on colored

Aman appealed against the decision, and
Judge Macarthur gave judgment in his

of who should have either refresh
ment or lodging in his house, and that
no one could dispute his authority in
