that soon after leaving Navashc, q
storm arose, and at IL o'clock at
night the foremast broke off close to the

leaving only the mizzen mist. The

of teachers are now at zero, and the

and moral fitness. Third. Public off,
GERS should be reduced in number and

solemn question Of impeachment to the
consideration of the Legislature to assem-

EDIToRs CLARION The last letter
wrote you was intended ts be some
what political, though / hardly know
what that term means now, unless it
is g for every man to do the very best
he can"
The weather here for ten days has been
rainy and gloomy, and cotton that is not
gathered, reminds one of the Radical
party since the election. The canvass
and the election interfered materially
with gathering cotton, and very con-
siderable per cent. of the crop is still in
the field. Taxes are unpaid. and the
severe penalty for non-payment will fall
heavily on the poor people. On this
subject there is much interest, apd some
relief is absolutely necessary. The pres
ent levy is oppressive, and the penal
per cent. of over one-third viii fall like
the shadow of despair on the country.
Is there no remedy The summary pro-
vision for the collection does not give
time for the meeting of the Legislature,
and we are in a condition of sore per-
plexity. There will be more tenants
behind with landholders. and more land
holders behind with merchants than ever
before; and no people ever lived more
economically than did the people of this
section during the past season. There
must be a reform somewhere. The
present price of cotton will not pay for
making and gathering; that is now
clearly demonstrated. -.
