MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS-.

Mr. Armistead Burt submitted the follow
ing memorial to the Congress of the United
States, which was adopted:
To the Senate and HOUSE of Representatives Of
the Congress Of tic United States:
The memorial Of the tax paying and other
citizens of South Carolina respectfully show
eth:
That upon the reconstruction of the State
Government, and the admission of Senators
and Representatives into the Congress of the
United States, it was doubtless intended by
Congress, as it was expected by them, that
they would become partakers Of the rights
enjoyed by citizens Of the United States and
of other State Governments. The history Of
the country teaches that taxation without
representation is tyranny; our revolutionary
fathers combined to resist such tyranny and
we feel assured that it was never the intention
of the sons of those men to allow this very
system to be fastened upon any oftheir fellow
citizens. 1t has, nevertheless, come to pass
that the Government established in South
Carolina, under the legislation of Congress,
has been made the instrument Of effecting
this monstrous oppression. That department
of the State Government which exercises the
taxing power is administered by those who
own a mere fraction of the property of the
State. Seven years have elapsed since the
reconstruction of the State Government; and
during that period, of the property taxed,
majority of the members of the Legislature
owned no part whatsoever, and the remaining
members owned so little that their pay as
members counterbalanced their entire interest
as property holders The result is that those
owning the property have no voice in the
government, and those imposing the taxes no
share in the burden thereof; the taxes have
advanced yearly until, in many cases, they
consume more than onehalf of the income
from the property taxed. The annual ex:
penses of the government have advanced
from 100000 before the war to s2,500,000 at
the present time. The following comparison
of leading items of expenditure will best ex-
hihit the change:

room, and confessed she had always loved me,
but Fessenden had lied on me- He was ac-
cidently killed sometime after that My wife
overhearing Cecelia's confession, died OF a
broken heart and we were both free. There
was lovely young actress, protegee of
mne-since dead-of whom Cecilia became
jealous, and married young Gadbury to spite
me. My story is finished. But l have not
told you all this merely to crafty your curios-
ity. Iwant your aid. You will not refuse?'
"What do you want me to do?"
"You know Gadbury. He also is jealous
of me, and must 60 in disguise. But get an
invitation for us to go the Bluffs. You can

"I only want to show her how little | care
for her now. I have seen her-in the last
hour-and she was cruel as tigress to me.
She defed me; and I want to pay her in her
own coin. You won't deny me, old fellow !?
You'll trust me?"
The young artist scanned the handsome
face of his friend with merciess scrutiny, and
then said, shaking him by the hand as he
spoke
"Yes, yes; Jack Damar! l can trust you,
l believe. Tomorrow will see Gadbury."
"Bless you for that much" returned Nc
Donald, warmly. I cannot hope to repay
you"

legislators. The result is, that the duties of
their high Office are discharged under influ-
ences and responsibilities necessarily adverse
to the independent administration of justice.
The jurors, moreover, are selected by three
officials, of whom two are the appointees of the
Governor. The consequence is, that the de-
feat of an obnoxious litigant may be made
certain by the selection of the jury. Or if no
special object be contemplated by these off,
Gals, the choice is frequently made, simply
for the small pay, of men who are unable to
either read or write In either case, the ends
of Justice are defeated.
In the Executive Department, all these
evils culminate. 1t is openly asserted and be.
leved that offices are the subject of barter
and the manner in which such Offices are adj
ministered proves that qualification has little
influence in the appointments. In matters
under the control Of single individual, it is
difficult to prove corruption but there is one
state Of facts that always stands for proof: A
large expenditure of money by an official,
who is without any estate and receives but
moderate salary, establishes beyond doubt
that the money must come from some irregu-
lar source. On this principle, the two Cover
nors elected under the present constitution
stand condemned in public opinion. To de-
tect and punish these crimes is impossible; ;
the Governor controls the avenues of justice
Indeed, the entire system is one of fself:sustaln-
ing and selfprotecting corruption.
In most Of the States, there might be some
chance of redress through the ballot box. But
here, again, the State government interposes
an insuperable barrier The elections are con.
Quoted by persons appointed in the interest OF
the officials, and the returns are under the alb
solute control of the parties in power. Under
such circumstances, voting is form and elec-.
tions a mockery.
Suffering under such grievances, and des.
pairing of relief from this government your
memorialists come respectfully to your hon
orable body for redress. The government
which thus oppresses US was virtually estab-
lished by Congress and while we believe they
did not foresee the evils to which it has given
rise, we cannot doubt that they will assist in
removing them, so.soon as they are satisfied
of their existence. All that we have asserted
is capable of proof; but knowing as we do
that the evils of which we complain are GER
tain in their existence, and are more likely to
increase than diminish, your memorialists
most earnestly ask your aid in providing the
proper remedy.

tened with ill-concealed pleasure to his de-
lightful conversation, and betrayed, by her
manner and gaze, her admiration of his ele-
CANT form and gracious address, BY and by,
music and cards were proposed. Cecilia took
the music-stool, and the other four played,
while Mr.. Gadbury, senior, dozed in his easy
chair.
Cecelia's manner panied the sensitive, light
hearted artist, and more than once he wished
himself back at "Fallis Inn" But his COM
panion seemed delighted with everybody and
everything.
Gadbury never suspected that he had seen
the man till then; for his bushy, brown beard
and brown, curly wig, completely disguised
him and there was decided stoop in his
shoulders. lie limped, and walked with a
cane, and spoke with nasal twang and
Scotch accent, all Of which characteristics
were foreign to the princely Mcdonald
But Cecilia penetrated the disguise in

his chance, SAID IN rapid Whisper: L am
here! defy you to betray me! You love
mel!
Cecilia, pretending to arrange the music,
strewn over the piano, said also under her
breath, while she flashed swift, scornful gaze
in his face: "You are here; remain if you
will, in disguise it is matter of indifference
to me; I disdain your insolence, and reject
your love. AS for myself, despise you!"
This was rapidly done. No one heard-no
one suspected-a private word had passed be-
tween them.
Then with gay good nights, they separated,
to sleep and dream the hours away, until a
new day, with its pleasures and plans, sound

LATE AT CHURcH-One of the papers tells
the story of man coming into church after
the sermon had begun, whereupon the preach
er paused, and said to him, "Glad to see you,
but come in, come in always glad to see those
here late who can't come early" TO which
salutation the stranger, taking his seat, as
coolly replied, "Thank you would you favor
me with the text?" "Certainly," was the an
swer, which was done, and the discourse moved
on as before This recalls Missouri Incl
dent. One cold night the Rev. Ezra S. Ely,
of Presbyterian fame, was preaching in prai-
rie farm house. When about third through
the sermon, two late corners rode up to the
door and entered The Doctor stopped, and
said that, as these friends were very cold with
their ride, the meeting would sing hymn
while they were warming themselves, which
being done, he observed that, as they had ta-
ken so much trouble to come, he would begin
his discourse again for their benefit; and ia.
king the text, he accordingly commenced
once more at the beginning and repeated his
sermon, rather more to their edifcation than
to that of the rest of the audience, perhaps.
THE HOME OF TAsrE.-How easy it is to
be neat-to be clean How easy to arrange
the rooms with the most graceful propriety!
How easy it is to invest our houses with the
truest elegance! Elegance resides not with
the upholsterer or the draper; it exists in the
spirit presiding over the apartments Of the
dwelling. Contentment must always befnost
grateful it sheds .enity over the scene of
its abode it transforms waste into garden.
The home lighted by these limitations of
nobler and brighter life may be wanting in
much which the discontented desire; but to
its inhabitants it will be palace, far outvy-
ing the Oriental 10 brilliancy and beauty.
