In the statement submitted to the
Legislature and published in the
Columbia papers few days ago-as
to the disposition of the $75,0O0 said
to have been paid the State papers
for printing the laws of 1871, ls72-
it is charged by the State Treasurer
that the Darlington Southern was paid
Sf,4l2.0o. We have this to say as
to that statement that 20 far as the
Southcrner is concerned not one third
of that amount was received by the
Southcrnor or charged for the work
done by it. In fact wo received moth
ing from the State Treasurer cur
contract was With ~ second party at q
stipulated rate, and we therefore did
not know the Treasurer in the matter.

The Right OF States 10 tax Freight.

The following points of decision by
the Supreme Court of the United States,
in the case fehe Reading Railroad Co..
against Pennsylvania, will interest all
connected with railroad transportation t:
|. The transportation of freight, or of
the subjects of commerce, Is constltu-
tional part Of commerce itself.
3. A tax upon freight, transported from
State to State. is regulation ofcommcrce
among the States.
3. Whenever the subjects, in regard to
which power to regulate commerce is
asserted, are in their nature national, or
admit of one uniform system or plan OF
regulation, they are exclusively within
the regulating control of Congress.
4. Transportation of passengers or
merchandise through State, ortiom one
State to another, is Of this nature.
5. Hence statute of State imposing
tax upon freight. taken up within the
State and carried out of it, or taken up
without state and brought within it, is
repugnant to that provision of the Con-
stitution of the United States which or
dains that Congress shall have power
to regulate commerce with foreign ma.
tions and among the several States and
with the Indian tribes.

The alteration which young man
gives to woman whom he feels 10 be
greater and bcttcrthan himself, is hardly
distingui>hable from religious feeling.
What deep and worthy love is not SO
whether OF women or child, or art or mu.
sic? Our carcsscs, our tender words,
our still rapture under the influence OF
autumn sunsets, oil pillared vistas, or
calm majestic statutes, or Beethoven
symphonies, all briag with them the
consciousness that they are mere wave
and ripples in an unfathomable ocean Of
love and beauty; Our emotion IN its
kecnest moment passes from expression
into silence, our love at its highest flood
rushes beyond its object, and loses itself
in the sense Of divine mystery. Is it any
weakness, pray to be wrought on by
exquisite nlusic? to feel its wondrous
hannonies searching the sHbtIcst wind
ings Of your soul, the delicatcs fi5ers Of
life where memory can penetrate, and

and present, in one unspcakable vibration

one say more? Beauty has an expression

Immigration from Italy.

The New Yoik GHpAic says: "Thc
Southern States have missed Il point i'll
failing to seek Immigrants from South
crn Emopc to colou!gc their waste lands.
The imm grant who arrives at our shercS
is naturally guided by iSothcrlnal lines in
his choice OF home. Swcdcs and Nor
wcgians seek Minnesota and Iowa;
Germans find homes III the Middle states
Illinois, aud Northern Missouri. Even
the New Englandcr seeks Il shelter in his
native latitude when he goes West. At
the South the same strait is manifest in
all emigration from the old States to the
new. The lirginiaR seeks Missouri;
the South Carolinian makes home in
Louisiana. There is large incoming
tide Of Italian population, of which the
South should avail itself, since by climate
the Italian is fitted to residence within
It's limits. This part Of Europe has hith-
erto been overlooked. The common
American idea of the Italian is oi 4 bar
Der or an organ. grinder. And yet 1tali III
history is full of grand names, from Ro'
mulous to Columbus, and on to Carl
baldi. Possessing all the fervor OF the
Irish, the Italian have an artistic taste
that is unsurpassed by any other nation.
These traits, combined with their newly
developed energy, make them most
desirable addition 10 our population. "

months the sickliest Of the season yet to

The Morton Bliss Bond Suit.

The Supreme court has unanimous
ly granted the mandamus asked for by
Morton, Bliss Sc Co., of New York, to

held by them. These bonds include
five classes and would seem to author

The Profits Of Cotton Raising.

It is stated that n small farmer on the
outskirts of Columbia, lately bought 80
acres of land. Last year he put 10 acres
in cotton. He had the advantage OF u
good supply of stable manure from the
town and Of labor from the same source.
The total cost reproduction was nine cts.
a pound, He sold his crop on the spot
for Is or 10 cents a pound, making a
clear profit of nearly $50 a bale. The
exceptional advantages which enabled
him to do this were an unlimited OF sup
ply of cotton hands from the town, who
worked fer fifty cents day and found
themselves, and the control Of the man

this was not single example. Another
