Exploits of Burglars.

The exploits of gang of masked
burglars at West Point foundry in Cold
Spring, early Monday morning indicate 4
revival of the outrage perpetrated by
those outlaws who ravaged the suburbs of
New \ ork last Fall. AT about O'Clock
Monday morning three masked men
entered the foundry, opposite the military
post, and attacked the watchmen, James
LomaX and Rodney Roe, and having
overpowerod them sinSly, bound and
gagged them and proceeded to rob the
office. They blew open the safe with gun
powder and distracted about Sl4O0 in
money and $500 in Government bonds
Lomax states that he was warming his tea
in the office when the three men made
their appearance outside, one of whom
demanded admittance, at the same time
forcing open the door He was followed
by the other two, and all proceeded to
question him regarding the whereabouts
of Roe. Having ascertained that the old
man was in another part of the building,
they seized LomaX, strapped his hands
behind his back, crammed q ball in his
mouth and tied it with a cord behind his
neck.
They then tied his legs together and
tied him to casting in the entry They
then went and secured Roe in the same
manner and both were shut up in the
safe-vault They soon heard the masked
men breaking open the safe, which was
on the other side OF the room, and sudden
ly they We're warned to look out for their
lives, as there was going to be an explo-
sion. The crash soon came, but neither
of them were injured. Soon after all was
silent, and the atfrighted Waterman man
aged to crawl out and unloose their bonds.
The safe was blown almost to pieces.
Scattered about the floor were papers,
books, packages, a crowbar, cold chisel
etc. They Immediately sounded the alarm
but the villains had made good their es-
cape and no traces of their whereabouts
have since been discovered

SOUTH CAROLINA.

To give our readers some idea Of
the way the negro is ruling (and ruin
ing) poor down-trodden South Caro-
lima, We publish the following extract
from the New York Times:
In a long conversation ON the sub
lect (of taxation) with Mr. W. B.
Smith, one of the largest holders Of
real estate ia Charleston, he said that
while the taxes were enormous, the
people did not suffer 50 much from
them us they did from the outrage
ouslv false valuation Of property.
Some time ago an acquaintance of
Mr.. Smith bought 4 small piece Of
property, consisting Of brick house
and the ground on which it was erect
cd. The price paid was 50 small that
when the house was pulled down the
cleaned bricks sold for more than the
cost Of the entire property. After
the house had been removed the lot
Of ground was sold 10 Mr.. Trenholm,
Il Well-known citizen Of Charleston.
The price paid by him was $500.
Soon after it came into his possession,
however. it was assessed ut 50, 800,
and, Notwithstanding the fact that the
ground could not to-day be sold for
$500, he Is Obliged To pay taxes on the
amount assessed. Every effort 10 have
the valuation reduced has failed.
Another instance Of false valuation
NAV be found in the ease Of the firm
Of Muir & CO., of this city. y few
months ago they accepted for Il bad
debt of $1,000 a small house which
would sch for about 50, 900, and which
was assessed when the transfer was
made at about that amount. When
il was discovered, however, that the
property had been taken for 4 dcl,6 Of
5, 900, it was Immediately assessed at
that figure. The new owners became
indignant and refused to pay. An
additional penalty was then imposed
upon thtm, and. having no redress,
they were, of course, Obliged 10 sub
nit.

THAT "]fYSTERY."

For some weeks past the Nashville
Banner has had great deal to say
about the Burch-IIobbs mystery" in
connection with the Comptrollership,
insinuating that there was something
decidedly "rotten in Denmark"
These articles have attracted the
attention of the people Of the whole
State, coming as they do from a paper
which processes TO act with the party
of which Col. Burch is a prominent
member. The Union and American,
of which Col Burch i stakeholder,
has repeatedly called upon the Banner
10 make a statement Of It's meaning in
plain English, but the Banner has not
done so, preferring inuendo to open,
straightforward dealing. In conse-
duence of these covert attacks, Col.
Burch has sued the Banner for $780,
600 damages, thus forcing that paper
either to back down or bring up proof
10 sustain the charges. The Banner
has also brought suit against the Union
and American, claiming $50, 900
damages, ON what grounds We have
not learned. Spite, however, and
political rivalry are supposed TO be
the moving causes. We agree with
the Memphis Appeal in the opinion
that this sort Of thing is contemplate,
and only serves TO reduce the press TO
the level of those unfortunate crea-
lures whom passion and ignorance
confines to the paucity Of languageso
