SOUTH CAROLINA.
A New York Times Corresponds
ent On the Political Situation.

NEW YORK, Dec. %.
A Times correspondent telegraphing
from Columbia, S. c.. under date Of
December 24th, says: The issue will
probably CONS through measures
taken to collect taxes. The Hampton
Assembly passed a resolution calling
upon the tax ayers Of South Carolina
not to pay any taxes to agents OF the
Chamberlain government, but to pay
for the present o%ne-fourth of the
amount OF last years taxes to such
agents as Hampton shall appoint. TO
a bankrupt Governor like Hampton,
who does not own a cents worth OF
property or pay a cents worth Of
taxes in South Carolina, and whose
honest debts amount TO over Il mil
lion, it is no small matter thus to be
made the receiver and disburSer OF the
taxes OF the whole State. l am in
formed by q resident and large tax
payer of Charleston, that the meeting
in Charleston supporting the resolu
ton did not represent a tenth part of
the tax payers, and manyof those who
participated in it will pay their taxes
promptly to the legitimate govern
ment when the time arrives. A coun-
ter demonstration of taxpayers will be
made in Charleston on Wednesday
evening next, when measures will be-
taken to support the legitimate gov
eminent Of the State, and meantime
the tax bill passed by the regular Leg
islature will be enforced like other
laws in the regular way, and a refusal
to pay taxes will be followed by a reg
ular levy and sale OF properly OF the
delinquent.
The Congressional Committee has
closed the examination of the canvass
Of the electoral vote in the State, and
is said to be satisfied at least that
Hayes and Wheeler carried South Car
DINA. Wade Hampton has always
been opposed to making any issue on
the electoral vote, and he positively re
fused to certify to the certificates
which the Democratic electors claimed
to have got from the records of the
Supreme Court. / was told last
ing that the vote MS forwarded would
be withdrawn before the time arrived
for counting it.

and benefit. In concluding, he says:

tional count of the votes of the people.

suit, and SO will every other MA

date for a new canvass by the Return
ing Board is the chief topic in Wash.
ington political circles to-day. The
Republicans deny that it refers or can
possibly have any bearing on the Pres
idential Electors. Alexander II.
Stephens and some other prominent
Democrats, while admitting that under
the Federal Constitution no Electoral
College can cast its vote after the first
Monday in December, and therefore
no new Electoral College can be con-
stituted for Florida, insist that in case
the count declares the Returning
Boards previous election illegal, no
electoral votes whatever can be count
ed from Florida, and that such a re-
duction of the total NUN Der of electo-
raj votes from 1863 to 365 will mako
Tilden's undispnted 1874 votes a con-
stitutional majority sufficient to elect
him. The Democratic leaders have
instructed Cronin not to deliver the
Oregon certificates at all, the purpose
being to prevent a count of the electo-
raj votes from Oregon, and then to
tional majority or that the presiden-

LONDON, Dec. 81.
A Times Vienna dispatch says some
believe the question OF prolonging the
armistice will be made dependent on
Turkey giving a decisive declaration
on the subject of reforms and guaran-
tees. This seems to tally with the
news from Kischenef, that prepare
tons are making to advance the Rus.
sian headquarters to Choiten on the
frontier. A signal for this movement
was expected from Constantinople.
No one, at the Russian headquarters,
doubted that the army would cross the
Pruth at Skulgini, in the direction OF
Jossis. when the headquarters would
be transferred to Ungheiri. 1t is cal
culated that this movement would
take place about the tenth of January,
the date coinciding with the expiration
of the forfnight's prolongation of the
armistice advocated by Russia.

ceases with the present Issue. AL
though not addicted to gush, I can not
sever the pleasant relations which for
more than two years have existed be-
tween the readers and patrons of the
SENTINEL and myself. as one of its ed
itors and proprietors, without express
sing the feelings of regret l experience
in bidding them farewell. The courtesy
and kindness which l have received at
the hands of the people of this vicinity
will form the ~pleasantest recol-
lections of my life-recollections which
none OF the vicissitudes of the future
can efface. During my connection
with the paper / have endeavored to
perform my duty faithfully and fear,
lessly, advocating what / believed to be
right according to the best lights given
me, and censuring only in such cases
as in my opinion adverse criticism was
conducive to the public good. That at
times I have erred is more than prob
able, but the errors committed were of
the head and not of the heart. l should
by no means consider it a matter for
self-congratulation if | had offended
none, for / could not have succeeded
in that and proven rue to the com
munity, whose interests 1t was my
duty to advocate, and If possible ad-
vance; but / can not recall any in
stance wherein I have seriously or
Tended any whose good will I es-
innate at a straw's value, or whose en-
nifty, in my opinion, is no a greater
compliment to the person against
whom il b held than his friendship.
So much for myself.
Most Of the readers Of the SENTINEL
are acquainted, either personally or by
reputation, with my successor, Mr..
Skillman. He is an experienced jour
nalist, one Of the best practical print
ers on the coast, and q tborough-going
business man. He was one of the
founders of the paper and has now re-
turned to his first love, from whose
patrons We are confident he will be
greeted with a hearty welcome. The
people of Eureka need no assurance
from me that they will be nothing
loser by the change. So long as the
SENTINEL remains under the control
OF Cassidy & Skillman the interests Of
Eureka will never suffer from the
want of a first f~irst-class newspaper to
advocate them.
! can not close without saying a
word relative to the gentleman with
whom I have been associated in bust
ness for the last two years, during
which period not a word OF d~issension
has arisen between us, and we part, I
trust, with feelings of mutual regret.
The success which has attended the
SENTINEL during our partnership is
attributable mainly to his judgment
and efforts, as is also the position it oc-
cupies to-day among the journals Of
the State. He is untiring in his efforts
to promote the interests of his section,
and of the success which has attended
his lab ors I leave an unprejudiced
public to judge. In him the people oil
Eureka county have a jealous and able
advocate, and we are confident that
they will prove as true to him as he
has been to them.

The estimates of the Treasury de-
partment for the coming year are
based upon an expected appropriation
of about $500, ooo, 900. For the War
Department the estimate exceeds S54,-
100000 and for the Navy Department
the sum of S22 SOC, 900 is asked for.
The general impression is that the APP
preparation for army purposes ought
to be materially cut down. There is
very little need for the use of troops
outside the Indian country.

New YORK, Dec. ~.
4 gentleman has just concluded
a fortnight's trip to Galveston via
Sedalia, Missouri, and northern Texas
towns, returning via Eastern Texas
and Arkansas. During his journey he
conversed freely with many Southern
Democrats on the presidential muddle.
While uniformly expressing the con-
viction that Tilden vas fairly elected,
they generally declared the belief that
Hayes would be counted in. Not one
man showed the least disposition for
an armed struggle v the presiden-
cy. On the contrary, they uniformly
asserted that war is no remedy, and
that whatever they cannot cure peace
fully they must endure patiently.
They earnestly repudiat ID and de-.
nounced the Northern partisans who
express war sentiu4enrs as selfish miss
chief makers whose only excuse is
that tho3 know nothing practically Of
wars horrors. They add that since
proD9r.y in slaves is abolished, every
Southern pocket interest is pledged to
national peace, and against this fact
appeals to sentiment or passion are
utterly without influential force.

A wORLD.RXATER.

1t is a sort OF slang phrase to say of
a mar "hc is a world beaten" There
are many of that class, and it is aston
ishing TO note how easily the world is
beaten. We have seen earnest and
honest laborers in this world, men
who work for the advancement and
the prosperity of the community in
which they live, who strive in every
way to better the lot of mankind in
general, get none the best Of the world
but are themselves badly beaten in the
conflict. The nan in the pulpit who
strives to direct Alright tho people who
listen to him, is too often cramped in
his efforts by lot keeping even with
the world, But the mar in spsngles,
who can spar as a prlze-f1ghter,
or who can dance a Jig, or who can
make a big and ugly mouth
after his face is blackened with
burnt cork, easily beats the
world, and with an hours n~onsensical
exercise, each evening, has all the
things Of life that he wants. The man
of spangles is called 'talen.ed" when
he can draw a crowd, and we suppose
the designation is correct, since sue
csss is the test of merit" 1t may be
that the ~fun.loying people are more
liberal in rewarding the fun makers
than are the thinking and earnest
people in rewarding the workers. 1t
seems to be that way. Hence the
crowds that are joining the ranks OF
the "world beaters;' the ranks OF
those who win luxury and renown
without giving the world any eqniva
lent in the way of good work.
