The First Monday in June.

We wish our warning could reach each
delinquent tax payer in Beaufort County.
Many of them have heard the cry of
"Wolf, without ever. seeing him, and now
will hardly give heed to the statement that
unless they pay up before the third day of
June next they will inevitably lose their
lands. The provisions of this act have a.
ready been published. We will next week
republish the act in full. We are informed
that nearly one thousand of the delinquents
arc colored people, who, in losing their land
will lose their all We shall spare no effort
to induce them to pay their taxes and save
their lands. Gov. Scott has ordered that
the utmost efforts should be put forth to in
form the people of their danger. Posters
aud hand bills will be.wldely circulated, and
we urge all to aid in bringing delinquents to
a consciousness of the gravity of their peril.
The provisions of the act referred to are
sucinctly stated as follows:
l. The provision that, when delinquent
land exposed for sale, except in cities and
villages, cannot be sold for one-fourth of its
assessed value, the State shall buy sufficient
at that rate to satisfy the amount of the
taxes and penalties, is repealed.
.. After the expiration of NINETY DAYS
deeds may. be made for any real estate sold
at delinquent land sales. The act of f-lSGS
forbade the making of deeds until the expi-
ration of two years
3. Real estate sel& for taxes may only be
redeemed within NINETY DAYS, instead of
within two years; 4. e., it may be redeemed
within thirty days, instead of one year, with
out penalty, and within ninety C6gs, instead
OF two years, with penalty of fifty ser cent
4. The county auditor is required to occs-
rant the titles to all lands sold for delinquent
taxes
5. All lands upon which any State Or
county tax for 1868, 1869, 1870 or 1871 re-
mains unpaid shall be sold on tn first Mon
day in June, and coaveyed IN fee simple
aciaIaut the right Of redemption. If no
perssA offer as much as the delinquent taxes
and charges, the State is declared the pur-
purchaser, and becomes the owner of the
land
All the lands in the State upon which any
tax for 1868, 1869, 1870 or ISL remains un-
paid will be sold. outright on the first Mon-
dag in June. To give courage to purchasers,
the state warrants the titles to all land. that
may be sold. To frustrate any combination
on the part of the citizens, the State be-
comes the owner of the lands if the amount
bid is not equal to the delinquent taxes and
expenses. and it is required, besides, that if
any purchaser does not pay forthwith the

An Important Bill.

A bill was introd uced into the U. S.
Senate on March IL, which, if passed, will
dispose of all lands remaining in the pos
session of the United States in this coun.
ty, except such as are needed for army or
navy purposes and United States ceme-
teries.
The first section provides that lands
now held by the United States under tax
titles shall be restored tothe legal owners
who shall make application to the com.
missioner of Internal Revenue within one
year, upon the payment of the tax, costs
and interest, with payment for any i'm
provements which may have been made
upon them.
The second section gives the secretary
of the treasury the right to decide be-
tween contesting claiments.
The third and fourth sections provide
for the final release of all claims by the
United States, and other regulations.
The fifth section directs that where no
application for return is made the land
shall be sold or rented.
The sixth section provides that where
the land has been purchased under car
my and Navy' sales and not paid for in
full, that holders of such certificates shall
have precedence in redeeming such land.
The seventh section directs that the
fund held by The Freedman's Bureau ac-
cumulated from rents and sales of school
lands shall be turned over to board of
school commissioners appointed by the
secretary of the treasury for the benefit of
schools in the parishes Of Saint Helena
and Saint Luke in Beaufort county.
Section eight exempts the United States
cemetery and such land as is needed for
army or navy purposes from the opera
tion of the act
This is probably the best G obtainable
at present. Our opinion, frequently ex.
pressed, is that any bill which will extin-
guish the United States titles in this coun-
ty is better than none. We think some
relief ought to be granted to those whose
lands have been sold and who have suf-
fer, in other respects out of all proper
ton to their fellow-citizens in rebellion,
but such relief can be obtained in another
bill at time more favorable to- their in
terests. To those whose lands are still
held by the United States this bill offers
as favorable terms as can be expected, and
oughttoreceivet theirsupport. ToarmY and
navy purchasers It gives one more chance
to redeem. To the community at large it
offcrs all opportunity to get rid of the in
cubus of United States ownership and the
consequent evils attending upon it. The
bill, if passed, will add largely to the tax
able property Of the town and district
We suggest therefore immediate action by
the people in favor of this BILL Let Pc
tition be at once forwarded to our Sen
ators and representatives urging its pas
sage.

Not q Candidate.

We are authorized to say that Gov. r. X.
Scott is not candidate for re. election. The
preliminary canvas is very much simplifed
by this determination. There seems to be
no doubt that Hon. F. j. Moses will be the
nominee of the Republican party. His pop
ularity as presiding officer of the House has
greatly aided in thus placing him foremost
among those anxious to serve the State.

ROCHEEORT.

Roehefort's personal history is enc moi
exactly calculated to commend him t.
the respect of decent people. AT present
he occupies a quiet position in a French
prison. Only his iailer and the govern
ment know where that prison is. When
he had got the LdRterRe established
it brought him a clear weekly profit OF
two thousand five hundred dollars. He
had his wash-stand furnished with
pitcher, basin, toothbrush box, soap
box, all of solid silver. His walls were
hung with pictures, for which he had
paid a great deal, and which bore the
name of the immortal masters of paint
ing. True, that at the sale they went
for nothing, but Rochefort's is not the
only cabinet of pictures valued at q for
tune by its collector and sold for a song
by its auctioneer He lavished money
on some of the most extravagant wo-
men of Paris. Meanwhile his father
languished in a garnet with no window
but a skylight, allowed only n candle
a week and fed-two hundred and fifty
dollars covered all the expenses, lOdg-
ings, stables, lights and fuel, for the sor-
did clearinghouse, situated at 30 Rue
de Faubourg st. Antoine. ROehefort
never visited his father, and never sent
money. There is some mystery
about the fathers marital relations. 1t is

The Detroit Free Press, OF the twenty

tory: ii is a fact probably better known
to the customhouse officials than to out
siders that az least every tenth woman
who crosses the Detroit river carries
smuggled goods. The goods may be tea,
coffee, socks, thread, ribbons or some
thing else OF no great value; but the in
tent to smuggle if there, and the sue
cess in bringing owe q small lot Is near
IN always an inducement for the snug
nler 20 Try the game on a larger scale.
Men may and do smuggle clothing now
and then, but il is the female sex which
carries the burden of guilt. The GUS
tomhoUse officials at the ferry dock in
this city are as vigilant as officers can
be, but what chance have they against
monster hoopskirts and gigantic bus
ties? They cannot stop to peep under
shawls, examine pockets, or look into
baby-carts, and hold a crowd on the
boat, and so they mus continue their
work with the knowledge that goods are
being smuRgled, and that only one
grand and sudden haul Of their nets can
trap the guilty and frighten the inno-
cent so that they will eve dare to pur-

her sick child, pulled out a few pins and
ten yards Of English flannel fell to the
floor. A tall woman, with tears in her
eyes, who asserted that she would sooner

smuggling, unfastened a pound Of tea
from her skeleton, and asserted it must
have been placed there by some design

naming a prisoner for an hour or two
told the searcher 10 "take it and go to
