The Impending Conflict.

'''i The Impending Conflict. 'j
The extra session of Congress in
October will be anxiously awaited
by politicians. The organization of
both branches of that body will take
place then, and the extent of tho op-
position to Hayes and his South
ern policy will be developed The
administl alton is naturally anxious,
and is waiting to see what will lie
attitude Of the South. Hayes
wants to break up the solid South.
But competent judges tbirk he has
taken bad way to do it. Instead
of filing the Federal offices with
conservative Southern men, ho has
suffered all the patronage to fall
into the hands of the same old
Radical gangs that have already
prostituted their power. Louisiana
has been given, over to tho returning
board, and this has antagoniged the
other Radical fuotion so that it is
prophesiod that Packard and Kel-
logg in their fight over the admins
tration will receive strong Southern
Radical support. a
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald speaks as fol-
lows on the complication
1t is the intention of these men
to represent to their friends that the
condition of Louisiana is no better
than 1t was under Kellogg that the
negroes have no rights; that ''nen

ruling the State. In fact it would
not be surprising to see an attempt
made to hoist the l"bloody shirt"
once more, and certainly if any
Northern senators are inclined to do
so they will findiready and efficient
help in Southern Republicans.
In the Senate, when it meets, Kel,
logg, from Louisian, and Corbin,
from South Carolina will appear
for their seats, and there is likely to
be sharp and prolonged contest
over these mon. The Senate is now
so closely divided that the Ropubli~
cans will not willingly surrender
even one vote. They are likely to
lose Patterson, Of South Carolina,
and if he should come to grief the
Legislature would elect a Democrat
in his place. If Louisiana should
have two Democratic senator's and
South Carolina the same, the senate
would stand thirty, seven Democrats,
thirty-ejght Republicans, and
Judge Davis, an independent. It
stands now thirtyInine Republicans,
thirty-three Democrat an indie

Freight Discrimination.
.essrs. Editors :.

Messrs. Editors:
All parts of our State except
those accessible to competing points
are suffering from the unwise and
unjust discrimination in freights
upon our railroads. This givos
rise to the belief among many that
certain sections of the State would
be better off without railroads, and
among others to the wish now
generally expressed to build COM
peting roads. L am sure this is
not the remedy, for wo have enough
railroads for the present and some
years to come, in tho impoverished
condition of the people. A railroad
is only n necessity when under
proper management it will pay q
dividend to its stockholders. This
rule might prove that in this State
there arc already too many rail-
roads, but that they do not pay
think in most cases results from
mismanagemont. Tho South Caro-
lima Railroad has for years been in
the hands of q set of Bourbons or
worse, and tho other roads leading
to Columbia are in the hands of
sharpcrs, Extravagant salaries and
insane efforts to secure through
business, with reckless disregard
Of the interests of the sections
through which they pass, are among
the causes Of the failure of these
roads. Railroads, just as any local
enterprise, in order to build up and
enrich tho community, should be
profitable to their stockholders, and
when, under honest cconmical man
agoment, they are not thus profta-
bic, they ought to shut up shop.
They have tho natural right to
charge for their services enough to
effect this end, even should people
be compelled for economy to return
in some cases to the old wagon
road. For the laboror is wol thy
Of his hire. We have no right to
complain of high charges if the
work is done as chcaply as can be
justly afforded, but we do claim
that no railroad should have the
power 10 build up or destroy towns
at pleasure, and to paralyze the
industry of an entire State. This
power they ruthlessly exercise by
their freight determinations, and
it should be restricted by the
Legislature. The evil has been
removed in the North west by en-
actments requiring that all froights
shall be charged in exact proper
tion to the weight and tho number
OF miles transported. Without
going entirely this far, 1 think We
may accomplish the end by for
bidding greater charge for any
distance than for longer distance
This will place all intermediate
points upon an equitable footing
with terminal points, and at the
same time permit the transaction
Of through business. Thus a rail
road might or might not charge
more for freight from Charlotte tc
Augusta than from Charlotte tc
Winnsboro, but it would be pro.
hibited from charging less.
trust that searching investigation
will be made into tho affairs of tht
railroads by the Legislature, and
that the unscrupulous mon who
now manage them will be shorn O.
their power. M,

WITHOUT discussing before Its time the assertion
of the Gazette's correspondent that "four-6fths Of
the legal voters of this kingdom viii sustain the Sun
day law" We would suggest that Section 2 might be
amended by the introduction of the words unless
private % after the word "recreations," SO that the
amended section would be construed thus-Rmuse-
ments and recreations (unless private) are forbidden
on Sundays. As we have said, q church member or
minister who drives to church and sits down on SUM-
day afternoon to q nice hot dinner in the society of
his family and perhaps q select party of friends, and
subsequently spends the pleasant hours in c~Onvivial-
ity and oftentimes worldly conversation, is enjoying
on the Sunday amusement and recreation and vio-
lates the letter Of this law, in our opinion, just as
much as q non-religionist who goes to Eva or Wal
kiki to spend the day Of rest simply pour pdsser le
temps, and avoid the dangers of idleness-such as
drunkenness at home in the privacy of his own
house, gambling. or debauchery, or all three to-
gether.

On the subject of taxation, our attention has
been called, by natives and other smal property
owners, to what they rightly complain of as a
grievance in the proceedings of the tax assessors.
Section 3 of an " Act to amend Sections 483 and
484 of the Civil Code,'' provides that =
The tax Of three quarters Of one per cent provided by
Sections 4sS and 4s4, as above amended, shall be collected
only upon property in excess Of three hundred dollars, be the
same real or personal"
1t may be as well to quote here the two
sections, in their amended form, referred to above;
Section 483 is as follows
GAN personal property Of whatever kind, not subject to
specific taxes, or specially exempted from taxation, shall be
subject to an annual tax Of three-quarters Of one per cent.
upon the full cash valuation thereof. The term 4" personal
property 7" shall be construed to Include all household furni-
ture, goods and chattels, wares and merchandise, all ships
and vessels whether at home or abroad, all money, notes Of
hand, unsecured debts, growing crops, public stocks, stocks in
corporations, and every species of property not included in
real estate"
Tho next Section, 484, as amended reads thus
There shall be assessed and collected upon all real property
within this Kingdom, Lot specially exempted from taxation,
an annual tax Of three-quarterz Of one per cent. on the full
cash value Of the same, TO be assessed in the district where
situated irrespective OF any mortgage. The term "a real pro-
perry" with respect TO the assessment and collection Of reve-
nue., shall be deemed to include all lands and town lots, with
the buildings, structures. and other things erected on, or
affixed to the same.n
The definition both of " personal property {"
and " real property" in the terms of the statute,
is very plain, and the only question at present is
with reference to the exception made by section
3 above cited. The grievance has been com
planned of largely in our hearing that this sec
ton 3 is allowed to become a dead letter, and
that taxes are levied Of three-quarters of one per
cent. on real and personal property, whose own

TEE Gazette of this week takes up the eudgels
on behalf of its correspondent, who over the
signature Of " " " argues in favor of our
Sunday law as it stands but who avoids discus
sing the point which we made, that any sort Of
recreation on Sunday is absolutely forbidden.
The editor takes up the subject Of the Connecti-
cut Blue Laws, and genially promises hereafter
to prove our correspondent of last week a -" mali
cious slanderer and a " fool by giving ga
brief statement of the truth concerning these so
called { Blue Laws of Connecticut We, also,
can give a 81 brief statement of the truth" con-
corning those laws. The Appletons of New
York have recently republished a work which
had long been out of print-Dr. Peters's I" Cen
eral History of Connecticut which was origi-
nalIy published in London in 1871. The new
edition is furnished with interesting addenda
and notes by the authors great-graDdson, who
remarks in the preface that &c there are possibly
not twenty persons living who have ever read
DIR. Peters's history and that "as is truthful
ness was unpalatable to the Connecticut colony,
the issue that came to this country, L believe,
was publicly burnt, and the court prohibited the
republishing Of the work in the State" The
Blue laws Of New Haven were " never suffered
TO be printed, - says DR.. Peters, but he gives a
sketch of some of them
.sNo woman shall kiss her child on the Sab
bath or fasting-day.
"No one shall read common prayer, keep
Christmas or Saints days, make minced pies,
dance, play cards, or play any instrument of
music, except the drum, trumpet and jews-harp."
In the same history we read that " IN Episco-
pal clergyman from England was, as late as 1850, |
tried, convicted, and fined IN Connecticut for the
distinct Sunday crimes of whistliDg, of walking
too fast from church, of picking a bunch of
grapes from his garden, and of combing a dis
composed lock of hair on the top of his wig "!

preface: Whatever other historical
requisites it may want, it must, I think, be al
to possess originality and truth"

SOME TINE past, we had occasion to make some
remarks upon the desirability of the Hawaiian
Kingdom being included in the Postal Uuion at
present established between most countries of the
world. 1t is unnecessary to revert to the SUBJ
stance of our previous article farther than to
observe here that while We are waiting for this
final result of our application to be admitted to
the benefits Of the Postal Union, it is highly
desirable that meanwhile something be done by
our Minister Resident at Washington to improve
our present postal relations with the United
States. 1t appears that complaints have been
made to His Excellency, Mr.. Allen, by the
U.S S. Postmaster General regarding irregulari-
ties in the amount of postage paid on letters
from the Hawaiian Islands, which are often not
fully paid. This may ariee from the fact that
letters are received on board the Mail Steamers,
up to the time of departure, beyond the surveil-
lance of our postal department, in the matter of
postage. 1t is the practice, too, for war
steamers to take a mail, with very questionable
right in the matter, as all letters dispatched from
this Kingdom should pass through the post-ofice.
Some years ago, the River Plate Republics had
a very serious difficulty on a like matter, as the
British Consuls of Montevideo and Buenos Ayres
hoN SOhcoAoA RO%SNAHNcB OSyOh0 shO 81 vi
government and in the long run, 1t was decided
that all letters should be forwarded through the
postal departments of those states. Now, while
our Minister Resident at Washington is engaged
in discussing matters relating to the postal de-
partment of his government, the occasion might
be favorable to press upon the United States gov
eminent the expediency of according exceptional
postal privileges to the Hawaiian Kingdom, in
view of our especial mutual commercial relations
under the Reciprocity Treaty. For instance, the
system of postal cards prevalent in the United
States as well as in Europe, might be extended
to this Kingdom. Also, the system of Post-ofice
money orders. This would be most convenient,
particularly for the transmission of small
amounts. In the United States, smal II sums, say
of five dollars, can under this system be at once
sent through any post-ofice to the most remote
localities in Europe. by which poor friends and
relatives are immensely benefited. In conclu-
sion, we think that our Ministers would do well
to inquire how far our postal relations with our
very good neighbor over the pond, might not be
susceptible of improvement, in complement to
our special conditions of commercial Recipro-
city.
