MARX TwAIN's TRIBUTE TO WOMAN
At an, annual banquet of the Washing
ton cosrespo ondents' club. the following
toast was read:
Woman-The pride ofithe professiohs
and the jewel OF ours.
To which Mark Twain responded as
follows: M $5 ff
Human intelligence cannot estimate
what We owe to woman, sir. She sew.
on buttons, she ropes US in at the church
fairs, she confides in ue, tells whatever
she can find out about the little private
affairs OF our neigbbors, she gives US 9
piece OF her mind sometimes, aud some
times all of it. In all relations of life
sir, it is a just and grateful tribute to
say OF her she is s'brickl''
Wherever you place woman, sir. in
whatever position or estate. she is ar
ornament to the place she occupies. anc
q treasure to the world. Look at the
names of historyl Look ut Desaemo ona
Look as Lucretia Borgiai Look at mo
ther E9el I repeat, sir, look ut the
lllustrious names of historyl Look a.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton! Look al
George Francis Train! And, sir. say
with bowed head and deepest venera
tion, look at the mother OF Washington
She raised boy that could not lie; bu,
he never had chance. It might have
been different if he. had belonged to
newspaper correspondents club.
Mark looked around placidly npo1
his excited audience. and resumcd:I
! repeat, sir, that in whatever posi-
tion you put woman, she is an orna
ment to society, and treasure to tht
world. As u sweetheart she has few
equals, and no superior. As wealth,
grand mother with an incarabIe distem
per. she is gorgeous; as we
nurse the has no equal among men
What, sir. would the people of the eartl
be without women? They would b,
scarce, sir, almighty SCARCE! Then le
Us give her our support. our sympathy
ourselves. if We get chance.
But. jssting aside. Mr.. President. wo
man is lovabie. gracious. kind of heart
beautiful, worthy of respect, of all es
TEEN, of all Difference. No one her,
will refuse to drink her health righ
cordially, for each and every one OF u
has personally known, loved nnt
honored the best OF them all-his Owl
mother.

}It is all very well for Treasurer Oar

the State complaint is made of the mar

And yet, aa things are. it will be impos.

We have angeested the nrst of March.

Nomination OF Williams Withdrawn.
The President hss g. Lest withdrawn
the nomination OF Attorney General
Williams for Chief Justice. Since time
began, there never was such universal
condemnation OF an appointment aa not
fit to be made. The discussions in re-.
ference to it show Williams to be unfit
for the position, in point Of talents and
legal attainments, and to be- covered all
over with sores and spots, incurred in
the course OF his political experience in
Oregon and Washington. Accusations
and proofs OF time-eergiug disposi-
tiop, evidences of positive corruption,
the habit of drawing on tie public trea-
sury to pay his private expenses in car
riages. servants and the like, protests
from the Bar Association Of New York
against his confirmation, on the ground
that he is wanting in intellect. expert
ence and reputation. together with the
determined stand of the majority of the
Judiciary Committee, have snfficed to
slay him. The President went in per-
son, as he did when he pressed the San
Domingo purchase on Congress, and
urged the Committee to report fMvora.
bly,. But he failed ignominiously.
The Senators composing the commit
tee could not face the music of universal
disapproval Of the proposed confirma.
tion. They ventured even to hint that
they did not regard it as properly within
the, province OF the President to make
an appointment o: this character and
magnitude, as if it was merely per.
sonal favor. which he might bestow on
his personal friends. His conduct iu
the Louisiana matter opened the eyes OF
every one to his INSCRIPTIONS and
superserviceable character. In with.
drawing him, the President is not in.
fuenced by any of these considerations.
1t was simply impossible to force his
confirmation. he proposes still to re-.
tain him as Attorney. General. But we
hope that he will be routed even from
this position. He would disgrace any
position. The people ure beginning tc
inquire why it is that President Grant
has shch affinity for disreputable cha
racters why he 30 inevitably gravitates
towards what is unseemly, dishonorable
and even infamous.

SOUTHERN SOLDIERS CoNyeSrIoN
On the 22d Of February. 1874 conveu
tion of soldiers and officers OF the late
Confederate army is to be held in Nash
vile. Tenn. The object Of this conven.
ton, as we learn from the Bunner, is
most important one, aud should COM
mend itself TO every soldier in the
South. 1t is TO organize responsible
body of men. who shall consult as to
the best means of obtaining truthful
and reliable history of the late war; take
proper measures for securing tho CON
pletion OF this work as speedily as pos
sible. and select as their historian man
OF talent and varied literary ability. who
shall bo able to present to this world
both truthful narration OF facts aud
an entertaining and readable book.
The Southern soldier has been present.
ed in an ambiguous light long enough;
it is time he should take his proper posi-
ton on the page of history W. hope
the convention will be largely attended.
The BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. The
cass of the Blue Ridge Railroad was

Charleston, on Tuesday. Mr.. Ire. cot
read the return to the rule Of ]. w.
Harrison. Pre- s:dent of tho Pendleton
Road, in which the Penrlleton Road.
running from Anderson to Pendleton,
fifteen miles, claimed separate organi.
cation and an account with the Blue
Ridge Railroad. Mr.. Young read the
return Of Messrs. Thomas s. Son, ol
baltimore, setting up lien. and insist.
ing upon the sale of the road, a3 q
whole, by the trustees. MIR. Corbip
read an elaborate replication to these
returns. MIR. Young moved that The
whole proceedings be dismissed upon
the authority OF two late decisions oj
the Supreme Court Of the United States
that the adverse claim of property
against assignees could not he decideJ
under the rule to show cause, but must
be by plenary proceedings. Messrs
Corbin and Buist were heard againsl
the motion, and MIR. McCrady, Jr.. ia
reply, in support Of it. Mr.. Simonton
as representing lien holder, suggested
to the court the necessity of having the
sale ordered under such proceedings al
would offer no possibility Of objection
to the bill, and prepared. therefore, d
biIl to bring atl parties before the court
The court held that it could not order q
sale by tho asaignees without further in
formation; that the independent exist
enoe OF the Pendleton Road seemed

grave issue. The Judge, therefore,

Extend tho Time.

The Treasurer OF Anderson County,
owing to ths snon.reoeption of the books
from the County Auditor, will not begin
the COLLECTION OF taxes until the 18th
instant. SHe will hive but three days
within which TO- collect before the
penalty will attach. The Mteligencer
advises Taxpayers to refuse to pay the
penalty, should they, from inability of
the Treasurer to collect in time, become
amenable to it under the law. It can
not think that the Legislature will at
tempt to enforce it, but will authorize
an extension, without the penalty. as
soon as it meets on the 2Osh instant.
The Conssrudtor (Republioan) also in.
sists that the time be extended.
Embarrassment is likely to arise all
over the State from the short space Of
time allowed within which the taxes
can be collected under the law without
penalty. It is due to the people that it
should be extended. The limit ought
to be fixed as late as the Grat Of March.
This We shall ask the Legislature to do.
Meantime the Governor and Comptroller
ought to take some step which will
quiet the uneasiness Of the people as to
their liability to the penalty.
Decrease Taxes by Improving the Coun-
s try.
The Anderson Conser uator (Republi-
can) warmly advocates the introduction
OF immigrants into South Carolina. It
presents the following clear view of the
enhancement of values and decrease of
taxation to ensue from the development
OF the State, from increase of indus.
trious and thrifty population. It says:
"By iudicious cultivation of the soil,
or the proper application to some
branch C :aacst:y, they will increase
the value OF the property of tho State
and correspondingly decrease the rate
OF taxation. At present. only about
one-fourth OF the available lands in the
State are in cultivation: and, conse.
quently, the owners pay the same tax
on the three-fourths that produces no
income that they do on that which
makes an income, or they pay four
times the tax actually levied on the pro-
aucing portion of their eatate. Nov,
when the tax is fifteen mills on the dol
lar OF all property, and only one.fourth
OF the property produces an income, it
is equivalent to paying tax of six per
cent. on the productive capital. But if
all this idle capital was utilized, it
would increase iis productiveness and
it's value, and thus reduce the actual tax
to less than fifteen mills on the paying
capital"
