and no cry by the large real estate owner OF
excessive taxation can stay its progress.
but aside from this view of the question
there is another which | will now present.
That the aggregate amount received from taxa.
iion since 1860 has greatly Increased, isaiact
which none will deny but this IS also true OF
the national government, and of every State
OF the Union. The question is not whether
taxation has or has not increased, bur whether
the comparative rate OF Increase is greaten in
this than other States of the Uninn
The following table will show the Increase
OF taxation between the years 1850 aud 1870,

A SHOCKING DEED OF BLOOD. Last
Friday afternoon, Enoch Dix found a
white man in helpless condition, with
his throat cut from ear to ear, lying in
an unoocupied negro cabin, a short dis
tance from the Savannah River, about
eight and-a.h half miles from Augusta, op.
posite Bugg's Bar. The wounded man
stated TINT he had reachod the cabin six
days. previous, soon after receiving the
terrible wound from which he was suf-
fering. where he had remained ever
since, without fire end without nourish.
ment. The wounded man gave his name
as Theobald Fahre, native of Kehl,
Baden. He states that be is q baker by
trade, and has been q resident of New
York four years. He recently came to
Charleston, and thence to Augusta. The
wounded mans statements as to how he
was wounded arc contradictory. It is
surmised that he attempted suicide. Not
withstanding the remarkable wound to
which he was subjected. his physician
entertains lively hope that the wounded
man will eventually recover. In addition
to the wound in his throat. his feet have
been badly frost-bitten by his long cx-
posure to the cold in the cabin whore he
wRs found, without any fire.

The engineer, who made frantic efforts
to cave his wife and children, wasjammed

though afterwards rescued, he is still in

cut and the boat fell into the sea. When
the second boat bad got of, it seemed to

A miraculous Cure of a Cancer

Mr.. DANIEL LEECH, of Hiram. Por-
tage County, Ohio, go years of age,
ad a cancer for IL years, situated on
the right side of his neck and head
He consulted great many physicians ;;
all told him it could not be cut ont, as
its roots were grown around the
carotid artery, jugular vein, and the
pneumo gastric nerve. Mr.. LEEcH
had it treated by DR.. Bleeding, and
many others, but it steadily grew
worse. A travelling doctor undertook
to cure it with burning plaster, for
$4,000. He burned off the artery, and
Mr.. LEEcH came very near bleeding
to death. AS soon as he began to re-
cover from the bleeding the cancer
commenced growing faster than ever,
and increased to the enormous size of
one-fourth that of a common head,
and discharged at least half gallon
of the most offensive matter daily,
which made it almost impossible to
give him the necessary attention.
Under the above circumstances, he
called on DIR. J. GoUoHER, of Ravenna,
o. After he had employed him, the
people commenced 9 TRADE of slander
and abuse against the doctor :-caiIing
him eveverything bat a gentleman
and a good doctor: tried to scare
LEEcH by telling him that GoUcHEE
would kill him-that he had killed
several women. But Mr.. LEECH sat
isfying himself that all they said was
tissue of falsehood and base slander,
he continued to be treated by DR.
GoUeHER. - - 80
After the Doctor commenced his
inside medicine to remove the cancer
Gus poison from the blood, the cancer
turned black. began te shrivel up the
offensive smell entirely left, and as fast
where it LET go healed soundly, and
when the center part fell of, to our
great astonishment the place where it
was situated was nearly filled up with
/ SOQDu u0su w z UOI1ON0
our own eyes, for we expected to see
hole that we could put both our fists
in.
! We are well acquainted with Mr..
LEECH, and know all about the history
of his fearful cancer, and have watch
ed it critically, during the whole
course of the wonderful cureperform-
ed by DR.. GoUcHER.
/ The press everywhere will please
copy-not for the purpose of aggran-
dising DR.. GoUCHER. although he de.
serves the gratitude of all, for his
wonderful discovery = but for the
benefit of the thousands who are suf-
fering with this fearful disease; the
treatment of which has heretofore
only resulted in human torture and
death. In the Doctors treatment
there is no pain.
