The State Tax Union.

This body met in the hall of the Rich
land Rifle Club in Columbia onithe 23rd
day of November Last; pursuant to the
provisions Of its constitution, and was
called to order by Hon. james Chesnuts
its President, who delivered an impress.
siye address upon fhe lack of prosperity
political, commercial and agricultural
which has marked our country course.
during the past year. He referred in
strong terms to the injury flowing from.
the general prevalence of debt and the
financial disasters resulting from the
absence of q usury Law. sn. - ;
The roll of counties having Tax Unions
was then called, and out Of twenty y-seYen
fourteen, making barely . quorum, were
represented, and several of these delega-.
tions were only partially full. Judge
Aldrich, of Barnwell, offered . series Of
resolutions pledging the people Of our
State not toipay any higher tax for stste
purposes than one per cent, which Gov.
Chamberlain has asserted is sufficient,
and further pledging the taxpayers to
organize council Of safety to. act in
conjunction with the Governor of the
State in collecting q tax Of one per cent;
to deray the expenses Of government,
except Legislative expenses, provided the
Legislature shall refuse to sustain the
veto of the tax bill. These resolutions
called forth q number of resolutions and
speeches, which showed a great diversity
of sentiment. Col. Hamilton, of Ches-
ter, offered the following substitute for
Judge Aldrich's resolutions, which was
adopted:
Resozved, That this State Tax Union
does hereby call upon the counties in the
State to select delegates from each coun-
ty, in numbers according to its represen-
tation in the lower House of the General
Assembly, to be assembled in general
convention in Columbia on the second
Tuesday in December, at p. M, for the
purpose of urging that the Legislature
adopt the recommendations contained in
the veto message of the Governor, and
to consider any matters touching the
welfare Of the State.
RssolveG, That the President of this
Tax Union do issue his call through the
newspapers, with an address from him
self, stating its purpose and necessity.
The body then adjourned without cleo
ting officers for another year or attending
70 any other business. The general sem
timant is that the State Tax Union has
done all the work possible for tito ac..
compish, and that our people viii have
to resort to more thorough and general
organization upon the political questions
of the day before they can ever hope to
redeem our State or ameliorate her pres
emit misfortunes,, derived from years of,
misgoYernnent and fraud.

The House sustained unanimously the

The House sustained unanimously the
Governors veto message. This is a
favorable indication if the action was
sincere, but it is feared by many that it
is only intended for q cloak to cover up
the designs of the corruptionists until
they have time to organize their forces
for battle with the Governor. The
action of the body in framing new tax
bill will show which of these opinions is
correct.

Ex-Governor James E. English has
been appointed by the Governor of Con-
necticut to represent that State in the
United States Senate in the place Of
Senator Ferry. Mr. English is highly
spoken of as a man of ability and integ-
rity, whose appointment gives very gen.
leral satisfaction to both political parties
of the State.

A Plea for Organization.

Our exchanges, who fear the resulh of
organization, should ponder over the sub
joined information from Mississippi. If
the Democrats of that State could change
vote Of q, 400 Republican majority in
1873 to S1,144 Democratic majority in
1875, is itby any means impossible for
US to carry this State by the same effort!
This is summary of the elections in
Mississippi. The majority, IS figured by

A LEGAL WAC.

Judson T. Mills, of South Carolina, was
Judge of the District Court in Northern
Texas, fond of joke, but being very de-
cided in the discharge of his duty. Thos.
Fannin Smith was practising lawyer at
the bar, and having shamefully misstated
the law in his address to'the jury, turned
to the court, and asked the judge to
charge the jury accordingly. a..
The Judge was indignant, and replied:
"Does the counsel take the court to be
foolW 4. |lt.4-t-.. ia lj.iH p
Smith was not abashed by this reproof,
but instantly responded:
"I trust your honor will not insist on
an answer to that question, as might, in
answering it truly, be considered Q lilty
of contempt of court"
"Fine the counsel ten dollars, Mr..
Clerk, )" said the judge.
Smith Immediately paid the money,
and remarked that it was ten dollars more
than the court could show.
"Fine the counsel fifty dollars" said
the judge. :.
The fine was entered by the clerk, and
Smith, not being able to respond in that
sum, sat down. The next morning, on
the opening of the court, Smith rose, and
with much Difference of manner, began;
MAY it please your honor, the clerk
took that little joke of yours yesterday
about the fifty dollars as serious, as 1 per-
ceive from the reading of the minutes.
Will your honor be pleased to inform him
of his error and have it erased?'
The coolness of the request and the i'm
piled apology pleased the judge, and he
remitted the fine.

For THEIR GooD.-Let your boys occu-
py themselves in useful pursuits. Books
are most excellent-in their way; but a
mans knowledge should not be confined
to them. To most boys the use of me-
chanical tools is the most fascinating of
all occupations. AS logic and mathe-
MATES have value beyond accuracy in
argument and the correct solution of
problems, in that they teach men the
habit of using their rejecting powers sys-
tematically, so carpentry, turning and
other arts are of high Importance. These
occupations teach boys to think to pro-
ceed from initial causes to results, and
not only to understand the nature and
the duty of the mechanical powers, but
to observe their effects, and to acquire
knowledge by actual experiment, which
is the best way of learning anything.
All the theories culled out of books leave
an impress on the mind and memory
which is slight compared to that of the
practical experience Of the true me-
chanic.
| Our advice to all who have the great
responsibility of the charge of boys is
give them lathe, or a set of carpenters
or even blacksmith's tools. Give their
minds turn toward the solid and useful
side of life You will soon see the re-
suit in increased activity of their think
ing capabilities, and the direction of their
lives toward practical results; and still
more obviously, in the avoidance OF idle
mischief and nonsense Ito omit all refer
ence to absolute wickedness and moral
degradation), which are, to so great an
extent, the passtime of the generation
which is to succeed us.

THE ANTIQUITY OF IRON.

According to the Iron, Age wedge or
plate of iron has been found imbeded in
in the masonry of great pyramid, the
indications being that it must have
been wroughtin the age of Cheops, placed
by some authorities as far back as 5,4OO
years ago. This makes the use of iron
about $500 years more ancient than it is
supposed to be, and affords opportunity
for explaining the cutting of the sharp
and welldefned hieroglypics on pophyry,
granite, and other hard stones employed
in the construction of the Egyptian pyr-
amids, temples and tombs. How they
could have been cut before the age of
iron has been a puzzling question to
many. Further investigation may show
iron to have been in use more than 5000
years,
