POLITICAL AssEssMENT.-The follow
ing resolution, which passed the House
of Representatives in Washington, is an
excellent one, and if adopted would do
very much to check the corruption which
is so widespread in political affairs. If a
law embodying this principle were enac-
ted, Grants power would be immensely
weakened in the nation, and republican
ism would either be compelled to make
itself more respectable or the ruling party
would be driven from power. If such a
bill could be made law in South Caro-
lima it would be great blessing to our
State. But the Republicans cannot af-
ford it either in the nation or the State.
If the proposed bill passes the Demo
cratic. House, the Republican Senate will
most certainly reject it. The resolution
is as follows:
ResoEred, That in the opinion of this
House, the practice of making assess
ments against clerks, employees and Off
GERS of the Government for political pur-
poses, or for the purpose of obtaining
means to assist any person or political
party in conducting political campaign
is wrong in principle, demoralizing in
tendency, disastrous in effect, is opposed
to purity and honesty in the public SER
vice and economy in the administration
of the Government, is fruitful of higher
salaries, in order to provide money with
which to pay such demands, and is in
every way antagonistic to the best inter-
ests of the country. Therefore, in view
of these facts, it is further the opinion OF
this House that the committee on the
judiciary should at an early day report to
the House bill to prohibit all such de-
mands or assessments, as well as to pro-
hibit the payment thereof if made,

The Athens (Ga.) Watchman, staunch
and reliable journal, says:
The people of the Southern States are
now watching, with bTeathless anxiety,
the course of events in South Carolina.
They expect the Democrats of that gal
liant but down-trodden State to make an
effort to throw off the incubus of Radical
carpet-bag and free negro rule. This
they believe can be done as it was done
in Mississippi, but they feel we'll assured
it never will be done by compromising
with the enemy. That experiment has
been repeated too often already. Let the
Democratic party "tote its own skillet"
and form no "entangling alliances.

will turn out and show their hands and or.
ganize at once, and not stay at home With
their hands folded, and curse and abuse
high taxation and Radical government, and
yet do nothing, or attempt to do nothing, to
remedy the evil.

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The important question raised as to
representation of the Third Congressional
District, by which Solomon L. Hoge was
eerrymandered into seat in Congress,
has attracted fresh attention during the
past week. The House committee on
privileges and elections decided to take
up the memorial referred. to them on Sat-
urday last, and requested the Hon. w.
II. Trescot, who represents the memorial
lists, to direct his argument to the point
whether the present constitution of the
Third Congressional District does not in
yolve re-districting of the entire State,
and consequently the unseating of the
whole delegation. All the members from
South Carolina were notified to be present
at the session of the committee, which
notice gave much uneasiness to the bal
ance of the members, although it has
since transpired that the committee will
not undertake to decide the question of
unseating the entire delegation, as this
part of the question involved was not
specially committed to them,
On: Saturday, at the session of the COM
mittee, Mr.. Trescot made his argument
that the Third Congressional District of
South Carolina was not entitled to repre-
sentstion in Congress, because it was not
wholly contiguous in territory, as the
county of Richland was not touching any
of the remaining counties composing the
so-callsd district. No argument was sub
mitted in behalf of Hoge, who doubtless
feels that the facts are too damaging
against his claim to a seat to admit OF
much argument. Judge Paschal sugges-
ted to the committee that the question
submitted by Dir. Trescot bears directly
upon the validity of the election in re-
gard to all the South Carolina Represen-
tatiyes. If zone district is not entitled to

direct tax now be levied, the South with
one-fifth of the property would have to
pay one-third of the tax-the same
amount of tax, on an average, would have
to be paid on sixty cents in the South as
on one dollar in the North. From these
facts it will be seen that the Southern
Representatives will make pretty strong
