Of the town and county of Abbevllle,, IN

some proper expression to the loss we have
sustained. ~

1t b not only the part of gratitude, but
Of wisdom, to dwell upon his example. Y

as be has done. :s:
so live, that when our SUMMONS comes
to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,
We go not like the quarry slave at Hisht
Scourged to his dungeon; but sustained
and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approach our
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his
couch
About kim. and lies down to pleasant
| dreams.

plantations was then Unnecessary. All youl
interests were then under your own eyes;
you directed and controlled everything
around you. These things have changed.
You still linger on your plantations, but
you ofteen feel that your life is being
wasted for the want::of something to do.
You look on your fields and see them
going to waste. Your fences rot down
andiyou cannot replace them. A portion
of your lands are rented out to tenants,
who look not to your interest, and care
for nothing beyond the present year,
and claim the right to manage for them
selves. When you make wise sugges-
tions you are often regarded as a mod
dler:; you are often disgusted with much
thatyoa see around and aboutyou your
wives and children@a are often fretted and
discontented. III short, the farming ill.,

est He died near the spot where he first

that no man living can say that he ever

integrity and purity az conduct. He was
the inlpersonation of candid truth, and
hated deception in all its forms with a
holy hatred.
Asa townsman and neighbor, Judge
Wardlaw was sympathizing, generous,
and hospitable. He treated all with kind
" consideration, and Was in turn beloved
by all. As a citizen, he was during has
whole life remarkable for his enlarged,
unselfsh, catholic public spirit. AS the
head of a large family, he was indeed the
patriarch, implicitly trusted, respected
and beloved; by unanimous consent, the
final arbiter of all family questions OF
every kind, Cherished in the midst @!

Let Us Reason Together.

The action OF the Chamber OF Commerce
upon the municipal license law is timely
and judicious, and we are glad 10 see, by
the remarks Of Colonel Trenholm, that the
opposition to the law is based, not upon
technical grounds, but upon broad conside-
rations OF public policy. The tax is unequal
and oppressive; its inevitable effect, il main
tanned in force, will be to discourage trade
and retard the growth OF the city. We trust,
therefore, that the Mayor and Council will
suspend the collection Of the licenses until
the whole subject can be thoughtfully exam
ined and discussed. The Chamber OF Com
merce is striving to benefit Charleston, not
to evade the payment Of. sum OF money,
and we hope that the City Council will meet
the committee half way, and ponder the
question with an eye single 70 the public
good.

The Taxes In Colleton.

A correspondent at Yemassee, in Colleton
County, writes to say that he is taxed
s22 "a, upon real and personal property as
sessed ut Sl13O. He asks whether there IS
any authority for collecting more than hf-
teen mills on the dollar, which would amount
to sic s5; and, also, whether the treasurer
had right to collect poll-tax OF two dol
lars.
We know of no law authorizing the
collection, in Colleton, Of any other tax
than the State and county tax OF fifteen
mills levied by the present General Assem-
bly,; and there is no warrant whatever for
the collection OF poll-tax exceeding ene
dollar, to which amount the poll-tax is ex-
pressly limited by the State Constitution.
The aggrieved citizens, failing to obtain re-
dress from the county treasurer, will do well
to make representation OF the facts to the
Comptroller-General

The State Debt.

In another column is printed statement
OF the stocks, bonds and coupons OF the
State OF South Carolina, registered by the
Commercial Warehouse Company, OF New
York, up to January 1st. About sixteen
million dollars of good, bad and Indifferent
State bonds are supposed to be outstand-
standing; but In New York only s7s5, llo
have been registered. The Carolina Ma
tional Bank OF Columbia has made no re-
port, 30 far, of the bonds registered at the
capital. 1t is very plain that the holders OF
the State bonds do not intend to register,
although they are fully aware that the Vail
dating Act OF 1872, which prescrlbes the
registration, provides that 'lhe State Treas
"urer AID the Financial Agent OF the State
sin the City OF New York, shall not pay IN
oterest on said bonds or stocks until they
shave been registered" They do not lose
much, however, just at this time, as, regis
tration or no registration, The interest could
not be paid.
