SOUTH CAROLINA is unfortunate IN
having her public affairs administered
Her public men have been of the ex-
travag,nt class. Taxation has been
imposed to such degree that the peo-
pie have organized against it. Recent
ly State convention was held to de-
wise measures to secure relief from the
Tapacious horde that las fastened on
the finances Of that Commonwealth. \
committee was appointed to visit " ash
ington for the purpose of inducing Con-
grsssional action in their behalf. 1t is
not understood how Congress can inter.
fere 10 matters of State taxation in a
State that is in peaceful relationship
with the general Government. The
remedy for that Commonwealth is tc
endure until the next election; then
organize and turn out the thieves and
right the trouble as far as possible by
cagnter legislation.

THE corps Of engineers 10 whom was
entrusted the surrey Of route for u
canal from Richmond, Va, to the Ohio
river at Point Pleasant, have reported
fsvorably. Here is their conclusion
First, that it is entirely practicable to
connect the waters Of the james river
and the OLio river by water nayiga-
tion of seven feet in depta. The tun-
mel that will be required would be about
the same leuth as that in Mount Gents,
but it will 90 through rock very easily
excaya.eG, and could be driven from
shafts Of moderate height, and at dis
tances seldom exceeding enc mile; sec
ondly, that an ample water supply can
be commanded; thirdly, that the tuu-
mel would be single tunnel with turn
outs provided in sufficient numbers to
admit of vessels passing fourthly, that
The proposed water line can be com
pleted III SIX years, at cost not ex
ceeding S69, ,000, 900, AMI that the cost
may reasonably be expected t1 be with
IN S55,000,000 and may possibly not
exceed s50,O00,000; lastly, that in the
opinion of the board this route presents
extraordinary claims as the means of
relief to the population Of the West in
furnishing them for their bulky pro-
ductions cheap transportation to mar
ket, and for fostering the commerce of
the United States by developing i'm
mense mineral resources now neglected.

In Missouri they form one of the chic

very valuable Jack, and who would
prefer to keep him here this season
provided the farmers will patronize
him. This letter Is from parties il

DEATH OF JOHN STEVENSON

Two weeks ago we chronicled the
acciden tai shooting of Mr.. John Ste
venson, and now it is our sad duty to
record his death. He died of what the
doctors call q Second hemorrhage''
last Friday night.
Mr.. Stevenson has been stricken
down In the prime of his life. He was
thirty eight years old, and his untime-
II death is mourned by number of
sincere friends. He came to Lyon
county with his parents when but a
boy. His aged mother has been sadly
bereave1 In the loss OF companion, the
violent death of two sons, and now the
sad death of John. She, and the wife
and children, with the remaining mem
bers Of the family, deserve the sympa-
thy of their neighbors. A large con-
course of people, with the weeping
family, followed his remains to the ssh
lent city" last Sunday.
