The Horse Malady.

In the Northern cities the malady has
subsidized. The loss to the country may
be estimated at several millions OF dollars
by death and depreciation. The disease
is apparently less severe south OF NeT
York. In Washington, Richmond and
Norfolk very few deaths occurred.
The Charleston Ae,cs continues to as
sert ats existence in that city. The Cou-
ricr does not admit the existence of any
thing more than an unusual number Of
colds, due to the chaugeable weather.
In Beaufort a large number Of hcrses
are suffering from colds,, but the malady'
does not seem to have presented itself.
Owners of horses should, however,
take more care of them tnan usual, and
thus prevent trouble. Those who have
horses to sell here doat believe in the
malady, but those who are wanting to
buy wisely hold Of for a few days 70
make assurance louNy sure.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Grant has carried every northern state.
with North Carolina, Mississippi, Sor n
Carolina and probably Florida and J ela-
ware, making his electoral vote about
go against loo for Greeley. : ne vote
in most Of the states was light. hundreds
of thousands of democrats discouraged,
dilatory or doubting, were absent from
the polls The proba*ili' les are that the
contest in the north r,ould have bocn
closer had straight democrat been
nominated, but in tlle south 3ir. Grecley
doubtless was as strong as any northern
democrat would have been.
Ne had a very quiet election jar.

all the bad blood had been expended

THE COMING TAX.

We do not see how the state tax can
be |, 50 than twenty mills, if the float
inc debt, current expenses and the IN.
terest is to be paid.
The levy is to provide for the expen-
ses of the coming year and any dell-
cheney which may have accrued. The
interest on the undisputed debt for the
fiscal year ending October 81, 1873 will
be, on say eleven million, $66O,OOJ.
The interest accrued is say an average
of eighteen months on January l, 1873,
S., 100000. The current expenses OF
the state with decent economy may be
put at 81 200, 900, including the schools.
There are 100000 of notes given to
redeem pay certificates. There are
S2O0,OO0 of such certificates unpaid.
The salaries unpaid amount to $780,
OyO The state institutions are in debt
500, COO The printing accounts unpaid
amount to $3O0,0J0. Miscellaneous,
say 10000: Blue Ridge Revenue
Bond scrip to be redeemed S45O,O0
Total, S4,710,0OO. Or leaving out the
back interest, S3,7l0,OO0 to be paid out
OF the taxes of the coming levy.
Treasurer Parker's report shows
that to produce a million not less than
six mill tax is necessary. All parties
being agreed that the license law is
a vexaLious and Improbable expedient
to raise money its repeal may be cou-
sidered certain. There is then no
source of income to the State except
taxation. A State tax of twenty mills
is necessary to defray expenses and
pay our debts. And, even then we
shall pass three half yearly interest
coupons on our bonds. If we intend
TO pay interest on all the bonds made
good by the validating bill we must
have three mills more. We have
danced we must pay the piper.

OUR COUNTY FINANCES.

The out t-going board of county com
missioners have been pretty constantly
In session for a month, husied in issu-
ing checks to replace the audited bills
Nearly the whole debt of the county is
now expressed in checks on the county
treasurer, and the prospect is that the
whole of the county tax will be paid
in this paper. The treasurer will OF
course, be able to get little cash from
the small taxpayers, but the amount
will be comparatively nothing.
The first question which the new
board will be called upon to meet, will
be where to find funds to pay the cur
rent expenses Of the county. The re-
tiring board have issued checks enough
to cover the whole income for the year.
There is no question but that they have
disobeyed the law in this but there
is as little question that the Interests
of The county have not suffered BY
their action. The issue of check for
an audited bill does not Increase the
debt Of the county, but 1t does pat IN
shape and simplify it's accounts.
We trust, however. that the new
: board will resolve not to issue another
- check for any purpose, unless there is
money in The treasury to pay it, until
means are provided by the legislature
to redeem or fund the checks remain
ing out against the county. Nor
should they issue audited bills, or any
similar substitute for checks.
Let the increase Of our debt stop
now. The question may as well be
met at the outset of the term by the
new board, for met it must be during
their term. Pal!iatives may postpone
but cannot prevent the crisis.
There will probably be enough cash
taken in to provide for the most urgent
cases of the destitute. The few
prisoners in the Jail may also be sup
ported until the legislature acts in our
behalf. But let no repairs on bridges
roads or buildings be ordered until
there is money to pay for them. Let
the court expenses also accumulate il
they will, but issue no checks for
them.
A steady adherence to this policy
will bring US relief from the legislature
in the form of funding bill or the
permission to levy special tax to pay
off our debt.

Distress in Ireland.

The Irish Poor Law Commissioners
have issued Il circular to the various
boards Of guardians, warning them that
great distress muss be apprehended this
winter owing to the shortneSs of the
harvest and the failure Of the potato
crop, and warning them at once to
make provision for extra bedding ac
colnmodation, and to enter into contracts
for IN extra supply Of food.
The Coikpapers admit "that the more
complete information which has come to
hand, fully justifes the gloomy antieipa-
tons Of the Poor Law Commissioners"
and that the other crops are not oaly
deficient IN growth IN many INSTANCE

inclement season-the number. OF live
stock, it is shown, has increased largely,
but the turnips, mangel wurzte, and beet
root crops are good, and probably larger

THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE.

"Do not. scorn her Jcancttc-think of the poor
| girlS feelings" Thus spoke Mrs. Answorth to her
beautiful but naughty niece. The advice was quite
too late for already the red lips had been curlCd the
impcrioas words spoken, and the poor sewing gill
was gonctriIdgng on her lonely way, and thinking
how hard i: to be poor and to have aelHys too!
"Scorn her? why am not aware Aunt that
ScoHni her; true ftlt the contamination which the
presence Of these caRQWe bring felt, also the
natural i:hpUsc to speak the few words that would

heiress mpatiently why aunt these horrd creatures
have no feelings, Is understand them. They live
in miserable at;ics eat stale food and herd with the

sadly 'four sentiments, to say the least shock me;
