STEEPLECHASE RACING.

Prom the Now York Sportsman, Jan. Is
The American Jockey Club has hitherto refrained
nom making steepleohase code, requiring that
the jump shall be of certain dimensions We
remember distinctly that some years ago, when
one or two incompetent riders were thrown
there was q howl Of horror and Indignation
against the sport and the Jockey Club was i'm
plored not to sanction any Of 1t. Some OF the
suggestions made by the HERALD are good, and many
of the facts 1t advances entitled to great weight.
The jumps, in opinion, might be Increased in
height and width with advantage, provided there
were fewer of them. We heard
however. Of any rule which hxed tho height
Of hurdles, stone walls, and other fences, to say
nothing of water jumps which are usually artificial
hitches So far we remember, they were OF various
heights and OF various widths The feats OF Chandler,
Lottery &c, altogether exceptional and not one
horse in u million do the like There is ore OBJ
sace here TO anything like such steepechases as are
witnessed in England Ireland and France II is this
the grounds much too limited in space and too
poorly adapted In situation and surroundings for
good steeplechase course. Hence see nothing but
dodging in and out and turning and twisting like
hare before greyhounds and the bad taking of makes
many Of the small jumps more dangerous and difficult
lhan larger might DO under other circumstances.
That there should be prize for the best jumper may
be conceded, but who is to know which tho best

TIE sOU:si CAROLINA INFAMY.

The fac nat eleven years after the
close of t0o war the Federal govern
ment has placed the letters upon the
State of South Carolina solely for politi-
cal effect, has aroused the honest people
of this whole nation. 1t is widely known
that no causes exist for such an act OF
desperation auI intamy. In an article at
tempting ut its close to justify the
President in issuing his proclamation,
the New York Tribune OF Sat
urday feels compelled to utter these
truths: "More than once United States
troops have been sent into the States IN
order to keep thieves IN office. More
than once the President has employed
the army, not to protect State against
domestic violence but to protect the
Republican party against defeat. 1t
would be, with respect to that party,
but Just retribution if the wolf cry,
falsely raised so often, should at last
recoil with fatal effect when raised with
reason. But what would be the re-
suit 10 the country? We have no right
to see the Constitution trampled under
foo. because there have been crimes com
United in lis name. No just and honest
man will say that free government ought
10 be stamped out in South Carolina be-
cause Gov AMEs, of Mississippi, deserved
defeat This cause must stand by itself.
What is it?
AT the outset Republicans may rs
well face the facts. The scoundrelly
government which they set up aud sus-
timed has robbed the State into pauper-
ism. In series of letters to the Tribune
three years ago JAMES 5. PIKE portrayed
the masquerade OF bandits ia the guise OF
legislators SO wildly that from that day

This wosk has reached the full proof of

that one ofthe sblest and most distin-
guished scholars of New England, writ
ing to gentleman il New York says OF
it: II have not been able to give more
than few minutes now and
then to Judge THoMPsoNs book.
It is work that has interested
me very much, so far rs l could give my
mind to it. Itindieates extensive read
ing, patient and sagaclous thinking, and
often times profound philosophising. The
work will be valued by those who are at
once very patient readers and learned
seekers after important truth"
We feel no inconsiderable pride in the
fact that we have the author OF such a
work living amongst US as one OF our own
private citizens. His life has been one
of srea. labor. He has filled number
of offices, and all of them were OF a lsbori-
Gus character, and he gave them that
completeness of attention and actual
work which commanded for him the con-
fde.ce and respect of the public for the
discharge OF his official duties
and yet outside of this he
has produced a work wholly
foreign to his professional, public and
official studies which is ordinarily sup
posed to be the labor of a lifetime In It,
self. We ourselves have known the
author number of years, and were well
prepared to believe that any work ne
would write would be devoted to the
search for the foundations of truth, and
to vindicate the divine pohty" in the
affairs of men.

There has been introduced in our
State Legislature bill to equali1e
taxation. In other words, TO make a
law which will compel the owners Of
property to value the same for taxa.
sioc at its real worth, II Is a notcri.
ou. met, that men living on adjacent
farm.. the land, &c, Of WHICH are Of
the same value, often value their e.
tate Mt greatly different prices when
the Assessor calls upon them. More
than this, not one-fpurts Of them place
the value at proper figures. This Is
wrong. and the matter should he rec'i'
fed. Here IL ar instance. Mr.. a. Is
ofIared $50 an acre for his farm Of 2OO
acre.. The Assessor calls for his list,
aud he gives II in at s25 o. $50 per
ncrc. He then calls upon HE neigh
bor for list, and the same kind Of
property may be, and is often put
down upon the Assessors book at sS5
60 $40 per acre, and sometimes at s2o
per acre. This is what We call unc-
quail taxation. Is there no way to
remedy this evil! It really seems to
u.. that there !, way to equalizc tax
alton. and our present Legislature
woald do we'll to find out that way and
give the desired relief.

THERE is an evident uneasiness in
the minds of the business men Of all
Of our large cities and towns in Ken
lucky. relative to the proposed repeal
Of the present interest law. There is
some cause for this alarm. so far as
the Lower House is concerned, for
there is sumo fear that the bill will
pass that body. The Senate will,
however, in all probability. refuse to
concur. in case the repeal bill is put
through the House, and, if so, there
will be no change. Nevertheless. the
opponents Of the bill would do well to
bc on the alert.
