- Throughout the State there is general
complaint of rust in cotton.
". J. P. Owens, Senator from Laurens, is

At last advices Ex-Governor Scott was in

-Caterpillars have made their appearance
in the cotton fields near Columbia.
The citizens of Union county are discuss

tory in that county.
Captain John A. Hinnant, of Fairfield,
who lost his leg in the war, is one Of the most
successful farmers of that county.
"A line of steamers between New York

ber.
The cotton caterpillar is extending its
ravages in Kershaw county, and has made its
appearance in the vicinity of Camden.
Mrs. Janney, wife of the late J. G. Janney,

proaches to consolidation are to be found in
those obnoxious laws of Congress trenching
upon the rights ofthe States, passed through
the active exertions Of those malcontent Re-
publicans who now style themselves Liberals.
In brief, Mr.. Stephens believes that there is
nothing to be feared from Gen. Grant being
elected third time, and that there is no sa-
credness in the example of Washington in
limiting himself as President to two terms
- The outrages committed in Kentucky
by gang of lawless, violent men, calling
themselves ku-klux, have become 80 frequent
and have been attended by such horrible cir
cumstances, that representative of the Lou
isville Courier.Jou was sent out into Owen
and other counties, where the gang mostly op.
crate, to ferret out the condition Of affairs,
and the number and personnel of the gang
This mission has proved very successful, and
his report embraces the details of the robberies
and murders committed since 1870. The
gang numbers about thirty men, and their
headquarters are within sight of Frankfort,
the capital of the State. These men have
robbed indiscriminately. Confederates and
Union men alike have suffered untold wrongs
at their hands, Peaceable citizens dare not
leave their homes after dark, and many have
left their dwellings and become refugees, in
order to save their lives. The Courier-Journal
says: "The proclamations of the Governor
are laughed at, as were the fulminations Of
the ancient monarch against the waves of all
angry sea the civil authorities are stricken
with the palsy of fear; courts of justice have
become mere mockery, and their enginery
affords no protection to the victim, whose life
is imperiled, and whose house is plundered
and converted into ashes. Hooded villany
almost invades the grounds of the capital
and if little more courage is acquired on its
part, and little more pusillanimity is be-
trayed on the part of the officers of the law,
we shall expect the representatives of the
State government to be driven from the capt.
tol should they ever offend the august body"

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

Every twenty-four hours the earth makes
revolution which causes night and day. Eve
ry three hundred and sixty-6ve days it makes
a complete revolution around the sun, which
produces the four seasons-spring, summer,
autumn and winter. These changes are very
great. Night is not like day, and summer is
very unlike winter; but one night is very
like every other night, and one summer is
not greatly unlike every other summer. Thus
things have gone on in the physical world
since the creation, and so they will continue
to the end of time.
Similar revolutions are constantly occurring
in the moral and social aspects Of the human
family. Nations spring up and pass away,
and their places are occupied by others whose
general aspect is not materially different from
their predecessors. This is most obvious in
the cases of the United States and the ancient
Roman government. Their origin is very
similar, and their rapid growth, both as re-
spects increase of population and extent Of
territory, bears a striking resemblance. The
Roman form of government is the prototype
of the government of the United States. The
institutions, whilst they are not identical, are
very similar. Had there never existed Ro-
man Republic, there would be no United
States to-day. The government of Rome was
not original. The Romans borrowed their
form of government from the Greeks. We
discover this not only in their laws, but also
in their literature Homer not only preceded
Virgil, but animated him. One spirit
breathes in both the Illiad and the Enead.
If Homer had not written the Illiad, Virgil
would not have written the Enead.
The Romans reacted Grecian history, and
the Americans are to-day re-acting Roman
history. Amongst the great leaders of the
American nation, we may discover their pro-
totypes in the government of the Romans.
The same is true of corrupt men. Rome had
her unprincipled plotters against the general
good and so has the United States. The per-
sons who are satirized by Juvenal and Horace,
seem to be living in the United States. The
vile practices and wicked and abominable
customs which are exposed by these poets, are
prevalent in all parts of our country. In the
Roman government men bought position. In
Rome, at one time, all things were saleable.
The lowest and the highest office could be
purchased. The Office of the chief magistrate
was often bought, ,and generals frequently sold
their armies for gold. We have not, we hum
bly, hope, arrived at such degree of corrup'
tion but, evidently, we arc drifting in that
direction. A great change has taken place
in the character of our institutions since the
daXsaf Washington. The change is so rapid
anfso thorough, that we can see it and feel
it as it transpires. The great characteristics
of the American people is totally changed
Scarcely fraction of what we were during
the period of the first presidency, remains
The prevailing feature ofthe American people
to-day, in every section of the country, is an
Unsuitable thirst for gold. This was the ruin
of Rome. The people that humbled every
nation on earth, was destroyed by gold

interest on these particular FIVE bonds But
the opinion seems to indicate that not only
the bondholder holding any bonds of these
special five classes, but holding any of the
bonds of the State would have a right, upon
special application to the court, to the same
decree, because the constitution, in giving au'
thority to the Legislature to borrow money,
made the right Of the lender to tax levy to
pay interest and its immediate appropriation
part of his contract with the State-as a
part, and the most valuable part, of his secu-
rity-and the act by which the Legislature
borrows the money is, per Sc, tax levy and
appropriation thereof, so far as the interest is
concerned. Once the money is paid over by
the lender, whatever it be, the contract is CON-
plete, and the Legislature cannot touch it, be-
cause the constitution of the United States
says that no State shall pass a law "impairing
the obligation Of contracts"
"Ifwe assume as basis of our calculation,
that the writ of maandamus covers the entire
amount of the original issues Of each of these
five classes of bonds, amounting in the aggre.
gate to s3,7O0,OOO, and if we include the ac-
crued interest thereon for 1872 and 1873, to-
gether with the interest accruing in 1874, then
the amount of money required to be raised by
taxation will be about S675,000. To raise
this amount, the comptroller will be called
upon to levy tax of about four mills on the
dollar, assuming that the assessment Of 1873
will show taxable property to the amount of
$175, 100000.
"Of the s3,7OO,OOO above referred to, $685.
900 have been actually converted. If the
conversion bonds now outstanding, which
represent these of the several classes convert.
ed are to be excluded from the benefits of
the writ, the amount required to be raised
will, of course, be as much less as the interest
on the s696,000 from the date of conversion
will amount to- 1t would be an exceedingly
hasty course to attempt to levy any such a
tax upon the people in advance Of the meet
ing of the Legislature, which is body very
jealous of its rights, and by no means disposed
to allow its paramount influence in this State
to be ignored or set aside by any proceeding.
Whatever the Legislature shall do about our
debt We shall regard as the voice Of the peo-
ple."
