OF the measure in the abstract, and
MS affecting the entire people without
regard to politics.
We sincerely hope that such stops
will he taken by the proper authori.
ties as will afford relief in the prcmi-
sis. We learn from our exchanges
that in York County the limit fixed
is the 5th day Of February, and in
Edgcticld, n like extension is given.
We are quite at loss to see why
there should be this distinction: and
VIC hope that the same privilege ac,
corded to other communities will be
given to the people Of Fairfield.
We submit this matter to our
County Treasurer and to the State
authorities in the hopes that they will

We arc at loss to find any
reason for the haste with which the
State authorities seem inclined to
press tho collection of taxes. We're
any real good to como of tho pro.

Tho llalf Mill Tax,

Wo see by the Trcasurcr's notice
that that the half mill tax for the
widows ofpcrsons murdered by tho
Ku klux, will gain be collected.
Last session a bill was introduced
by Mr.. NJ. S. Miller repeating this
tax as far as Fairfield is concerned.
1t passed the House, but not the
Senate. This is another outrage
upon the tax~paycrs. Last year it
was shown that no widows could be
found entitled to tho proceeds, and
they were turned into the school
fund. This was we'll enough
at that time. But the state and
local tax for schools this wear is
heavy enough without adding any

If not, it should be contested on Tic

doubts have been expressed by law

mains to be seen whether or not the

Tho Bankrupt Laws.

The hot haste with which the
House Of Representatives rushed
through the repeal of these laws, in
duces tho suspicion that some indivi-
dual hardship or somc particular
-odious feature of the laws, must nc
tuate this action. We hope that tho
u. s. Senate will be moro deliberate
in their action.
The financial crisis, from which we
arc just emerging makes this most
inopportuno time for the repeal Of the
Bankrupt Acts. There arc features
that might DO amended. Fourteen
days non payment of commercial pa
per, and the involuntary suffering of
judgment ought not to be causes of
Bankruptcy. Exemptions ought to
be uniform, and expenses of proceed.

Let proper amendments be made,
but let the Bankrupt Laws be d per-

While we belicve with the Herald
that tho cohesive power Of tho Re-
publican party has been broken, and
that new party will come to the
front, VIC see no signs Of reform in
the South. The West contains many
pure aud honest Rebubllcans, and
from this quarter tho revolution
against Radical corruption may have
its origin. But the idea of our
Southern Radicals rcrenting, while
they have any company in vi,lainy
is absurd. Search the array Of
Southern politicians. Tho Loucst
leaders of the Republican party arc
few, drop in the bucket. Think OF
Holden and Sol Poole in North Caro-
lima, MUSES., PATTI rsnn and Ncagle in
South Carolina, Ames in Mississippi,
Pnchback and Syphcr in Loui<iaua
Clayton in Arkanaa>, aud Others Of
the ilk, boldly seccatdi"g from the
Republican party because of its cor
ruptiou, and calling on all honest
men to enlist under their hanucr.-
The greatest good that could bcral
the party" would be the Withdrawal
Of Just such villains. The fact that
1T suffers them to cling to it like
lccches is the cause Of its present tot
tering condition. If the North waits
for Southern Radicals to inauauratc
reform, 1t will be made hcartsjck with
hope deferred. We would advise all
rcformers to steer clear of Southern
Il ideals. The eyes Of the whole
country are turLcd to the magniIi-
cent West. 1t contains elements Of
strength for reform. But the South
need not be counted in. 1t will do
battle to the bitter eild in defence of
orrupt lc@is lation, and every meas
urc THAT will cnrivh the politician aud
fleece the people.
