NEW York, Oct. 13, 1876.
A VOICE FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.


After Parke Goodwin had finished
his masterly Grafton to the business
men of New York city, on the evening
of October 11th, Judge Thomas j.
Mackay, of South Carolina, made a
forcible speech. The following is a
portion OF the Judges oration
JUDGE MAcKAY's ADDRESS.
At the close of Mr.. Godwin's ad-
dress Judge Thomas j Mackay, Judge
Of the Circuit Court of South Carroll
ma, aud who until lately has acted with
the Republican party, was then intro
duced. He met with very warm re-
eeption. After speaking at great
length on the past and present condi-
ton OF South Carolina, he said that
The people of his State were determined
to throw of the oppressive yoke which
they had borne Tor the past seven
years. (Cheers.) I'VE are carrying
the flag OF the Union, and consider
ourselves good and loyal American
citizens. (Cheers.) We mean to stand
firm in our effort to free ourselves
from the abuses heaped upon US by
corrupt rulers, but we mean to accom-
plish this by the ballot and not by the
sword. (CheeTs.) Since the close of
the war we have greatly suffered from
the present pernicious government.
At that time the population of South
Carolina was 100000, composed of
about 400, 900 blacks and 279, ,000whites.
In July, 1868, the debt of the State
was $5,000,OO0, and In six years it had
increased to $50, ,000, 900. The public
printing alone one year cost $500 600.
The whole taxable property did not
amount to over $l30,U00,0 from
which the Republicans extracted 81
000.000 yearly. All the work OF the
Legislature could be completed in
thirty days, but the session is extended
over one hundred days, costing each
year $612,0 ,000 The system of taxation
III the State amounted t0nothing short
ofconfscation of property. ("Shame!'')
Columbia, the capital of the State, has
a tax of 81 per cent, while the bank
rate of interest is from Is to 30 per
cent, owing to the great risk of max
ing any kind of investment. We can
not draw capital from the great North
in exchange for the products of the
State, now wasting for the want of
proper market. There are out of
l6,000,000 acres of arabic land only
5000, 900 acres under cultivation, ow-
ing to the high rate of interest and
the vicious system of government.
The only class of persons who have
done we'll in South Carolina are the
carpet baggers and the office holders
the latter grow richer as the Gov
ernment grows more corrupt (laugh-
ter), and are likely to do SO until they
are wiped out at the coming election.
(Applause.) The speaker then re-
terred to the nomination Of General
Wade Hampton for Governor of South
Carolina, who, he said, was free from
political faint, as were the other Dem
oeratic candidates for office. They in
tended to do their duty, and had
dared to face their Republican enc
mics even in spite of the bayonet.

The Tobacco Market and the Future.

The United States Tobacco ournal,
in an article on the prospective out
look for tobacco in America, says:
Another unforeseen and new feature
has come to further aid In the devel-
opment Of our grand resources as a
tobacco raising country, and to confer
greater prosperity to the trade than
has ever been experienced before
The German tobaccos which have al
ways been important competitors with
our own and supplied numerous mar
kets of the world with the weed, have
this year been IA complete failure. At
the very best this crop will give ma
terial only fit for the manufacture of
cheap smoking tobacco, but as can be
seen from our trustworthy reports in
another column can never be adapted
for cigar manufacturing purposes
Where then are the cigar mauufac-
turers In Europe to ia ke their suitable
supply of tobacco from? The better
grades of Java tobacco, of a mOstexcel-
lent cigar material, have risen in pri-
ces to such an extent as to make the
manufacture Of cigars out of this ma
terial highly Improbable; laterreports
announce this crop Of 1876 poor one.
HavaDna wrappers, last years and
this year crop, are to the greatest
extent unfit for the purpose. Brazil
is the only article which combines
comparative cheapness with quality
and other ingredients for successful
cigar manufacture. But this crop
alone does not suffice in the least to
satisfy the demands of European cigar
manufacturers. The other South
American and West and East India
tobacco crops are of such inferior
quality as to make our most common
tobaccos preferable. Naturally there
is nothing left for Europe but to look
to US for their supply of leaf The in
creased demand by exporters and their
badly disguised anxiety to purchase is
convincing proof of the correctness OF
our theory The near future will de-
velop larger export trade than we
have ever seen before All kinds OF
tobacco. high and low-priced, Will be
in active demand, and neither holders
of old or new tobacco need fear de-
probation In values, but on the con-
trary can rely upon a most prosperous
trade for long time TO come. AND
as with the increased effiux Of our to-
bacoos. their good qualities will be
further recognized and appreciated by
European cigar manufacturers, and
consequently become more popular
with smokers abroad, the tobacco cul-
ture ia this country must assume i'm
| nense proportions and become the
most important and remuneratiYe
branch of agriculture.

l see it announced that one Henry
S. Foote, Radical Elector for the
State at large, is to address the cti-
zens of Memphis, on Thursday, Octo-
Der 18th, upon the political issues of
the day. Is this the same Henry s..
Foote who first contrived to boost
himself into public notoriety by chal-
lenging the famous S. S. Prentiss, of
Mississippi? Is this the same Henry
S. Foote who, in the United States
Senate chamber, hoped that John p.
Hale, the Radical Abolitionist Sena-
tor from New Hampshire, would come
down into Mississippi, because he
wanted to hang him upon the highest
tree, and who, for that reason, was
dubbed "Hangman Foote" by Horace
Greeley and Parson Brownlow? Is

people would receive the Yankee SOL

gress, skedaddled from the city of

corruption and perpetuating Grantism?

About Lightning Rods.
Courier Journal


Professor Wise, during a recent vio-
lent storm OF thunder aud lightning in
Philadelphia, took the trouble to expose
himself to the bolts In order to watch
the effect Of the lightning upon light
ming rods and metal roofs. He has ar
rived at the conclusion that lightning
rods are not worth continental, as far
as protection Is concerned: "of no more
value, !" he says, ''than bodkin would
be to ward Off the ball fired from a
oolumbiad." He asserts that the only
protection for the people In a thunder
storm is to have good metal roof upon
their houses. The metal, he says, re-
ceives the malicious fluid and disperses
it through its expanse, while lightning
rods inject it destructively into the
building. It appears to us that it will
be long time before Prof. Wise gets
people to give up the use Of lightning
rods, even II they do not protect. The
popular belief Is that they do pro-
tect, and 1t is difficult to upset q popular
belief which has been fathered by the
venerable Benjamin franklin. Then
again, metal roofs are fearfully expen-
sive affairs, and for economical reasons
the majority OF people will take the risk
Of rods. The lightning rod mans bust
ness cannot be extinguished.
