The seventh annual message Of
Pr sident Grant was submitted to
Congress OIL Tuesday, together with
the Reports. Of the Secretaries Of the
Departments. s1he 6, eat interest gon-
orally manifested iii many important
public questions will secure for the
message careful attention not ,nly in
this country but abroad. Although
lengthy it will not be found dry
document, and it ought to be read by
all interested in their cnuntry's we'll
fare. Whether the positions lie takes
are right or wrong, legislation will
doubtless be shaped somewhat by his
recommendations, and the future of
the country will be greatly affected by
such legislation. He takes anadyan-
ccd position gu some questions, especi-
ally on those Of common schools and
the taxation ofchurch property. We
append the concluding part Of his re-
port:
AS this will be the last annual mess
age which I shall have the honor Of
transmitting to congress before my
successor is chosen, I will repeat or
recapitulate the questions which
deem of vital Importance, should be
lcgislated upon and settled at this
session.
First-That the States shall be re.
quircd toailord opportunity ola good
common 3school education to every
child within their limits.
Sccond-No sectarian tenets shall
ever be taught in any school supported
in whole or i'll part by The state, ma
ton, or by the proceeds ofany. tax
levied upon any community. Make
education compulsory SO fir MS to- de-
prive MI persons who cannot read and
write from becoming voters after the
year 1890, DISTINGUISHING none how
ever. OIL the ground Of illitcracy who
may be voters at The time tl.is amend
ment takes effect.
Third Declare the church and
state forever separate and distinct,
but each free w;thinits proper sphere,
and that all church property shall
bear its own proportion Of taxation.
Fourth out Licensed immor-
ality such as polygamy and the impor-
tuition Of women for illegitimatc pur-
poses. 10 recur again to the centen-
nial year it would seem as though now
as We are about TO begin the second
century of our national existence it
would be Almost fitting tine for these
reforms.
Fitth-Enact such laws s,will in.
sure a speedy return to sound cur
rency such rs will command the res
pcct of The world.

lechoed from corridor to dome with the
shouts ofthej jubilant multitude.
The other Judges elected we're Wig
gins, Carpenter, Cooke, Nortirop,
Townsend, Mackey and Moses. Moses,
poor Frank! never was mortal man SO
BADLY usedl He gave up everything
society, friends, house-and became
Republican. What was his reward?
Literally nothing. Abriefterm in the
Speakers chair, ard still briefer one
lin the Governors, were his only re-
'compense. Paltry positions both; not
such as he, the pet and idol of his
party, should receive But, alas! twas
ever thus; and low, while basking i'll
tho sunshine Of judicial honors, he can
only content himself with the thought
that "virtuc is its own reward" and
that
"Dutics we'll performed,
Make up the sum aud substance Of a
noble life"
Major Knowlton made good fight
against the MephistopheIes of the
bench Mackey--and would have
been elected but for the action of the
Conservatives. who, chagrined at the
defeat of Maher and Shaw, and find
ing that the body OF the Republicans
were for Knowlton, deliberately cast
their votes against him and elected
Mackey. I trust they will have no
cause to repent their action.
:; The Taxpayers Convention has me-.
ind adjourned. The unanimity which
pervsded its deliberations was refresh
ing to behold. a motion had only to
be made to bc unanimously adopted;
and the single event which occurred
to mar the qualification of tile mem
bers in the result Of their delibera-
tions, was the announcement that sufi-
cicnt money could not be raised among
the taxpayers assembled to defray
the expenses attending the eprinting of
their proceedings. Nor is it to be won
dercd at. For with all due respect to
the gentlemen composing the, august
body, l must say that they do not rep
resent the tax-paying public. A few
men who did own property in ontc-
bcll'n days, met in q little back office
and concluded to hold convention to
seek relief from the powers that be, in
the matter Of burdcnsome and oppres-
isivc taxes; and "we, the people of
Edgefield," set forth their fancicd
wrongs and grievances inEinconccivu-
bic petitions and resolutions, the Pc
rusal of which only tends td ynuse the
public and confirm them in the opin.
ion that

walls,
And lie who nothing pays, at taxes

colored, started to settle the diff
Guilty, and was followed by some
twenty negroes, whom he ordered
back, but about one hundred more
came rushing on. Some one fired a
shot which WAS followed by general
firing and a stampede. Sively fired
all the barrels of his pistols, and the
negroes then demanded his surren-
der. He surrendered and gave up
his pistol, after which he was shot
and his brains knocked out. He
was then robbed Of Lis clothing, and
finger was cut off in order to get
his ring. The infuriated mob found
Charles Chiffon in his yard, aud
shot and killed him in the presence
of bis family. Frank Thommason,
"a promising young lawyer, was shot
from his horse q mile and half from

The Ono CAMPAIaN.-It is gener.
ally conceded by both parties that
the Ohio State election, which is to
take place on the 18th day of next
month, will decide the party ascen
dcDcy in 1876. While this may not
be true, it will doubtless settle the
political course of the successful party
and cause a change tf tactics on the
part OF the other. The Campaign is
being wagod vigorously and every :
thing brought to bear by either party
that will add to the one or detract
from the other. The Republi-
cans, in the outset, sought to make
the financial question the stepping
stone to power, favoring hard money
and speedy resumption OF specie
payments. This the Democrats very
properly opposed, ioreseeing that the
sudden calling in of greenbacks and
the contraction OF the only circulating
medium in the. country would bring
financial ruin and disaster to every
branch OF industry, and produce one
OF the greatest panics ever known in
this country. They favor making
one dollar of greenbacks worth one
dollar in o. ecie, initiation of the cur,
rency to satisfy the demands of II ade
and a gradual return to specie pay
ment as the Government becomes
able. The Republicans soon dis.
covered that their hoby was not q
popular one, and wonld not add to
Iher strength and suddenly changed |
