Perhaps there are a good many peo.
pie in Mile Lacs county who think
they pay excessively high taxes, BY Re.
ferring to the annual report Of the
State Auditor, we find that the
amount per cent. in this county is less
than that of any Of the adjoining coun.
ties, and, in fact, nearly the lowest Of
any in the state. Here is the extract:
'The following counties have the
lowest average rate, viz, Dodge coun-
,ty, eleven and two. .tenths mills; Hous-
ton and Olmsted each eleven and
seven-tenths mills; Mile Laos, eleven
and eight.tenths mills; Steele, twelve
and five.tenths mills; Meeker, thirteen

FIRST, that Senator Patterson was regularly

continued 70 reside hero temporarily rs n
Senator, and. therefore. it cannot DO snid. in

Second, tho torn of tho Court ut which tho
indictment was found was not tho regular
term Of tho Court. 1t was not held at tho
time and plnco authorized by law. and conse-
guontly the finding is of no validity, and the
indictment on which tho rcquisition was
founded void.
Judge Humphreys issued the writ Of habens
corpus addressed to tho coroner, who served
it on tho marshal, demanding that hc produce
the body of Senator Patterson. Tho marshal,
in obedience to tho writ. did so.
There was present in Court, among others,
MIR. Rchbourg, agent for the State of South
Carolina, who brought hithcr tho requisition
tor Senator Patterson, who is charged with
tho crimes OF conspiracy to bribc tho members
OF tho General Assembly, bribery of the spo-
| Gifted members Of tho General Assembly, and

commit grand larceny, &c. james Lowndos,
Esq" appeared rs counsel representing tho
State Of South Carolina.
AS it was now o'clock in tho afternoon
and too late to proceed with tho cnse, it was
stated by Judge Humphreys that owing to his
duties in Court ho could not hear it until
Wednesday.
Mr.. Richb,urg asked that tho hearing bc
postponed until Thursday, so rs to allow timo
for tho arrival Of tho Attorney General Of
South Carolina.
To this the Judge said he could not acccdo
owing to the pressure of other business ON that
dny and tho remainder of tho week
The result Of the conference was q most
poncmcnt un .he l7th instant, or two days
after the meeting Of the extra session of Con-
gress. Senator Patterson gave bail for his
appearance at that time in tho sum Of 50, 500,
livery q. Kimball becoming his surety. Tho
case having been postponed to tho time stated
will afford the Scnntean opportunity to discuss
the rights Of ono Of its members and decide
whether or not he is privileged from arrest
under The protective clause of the Constitution
of tho United States.

AN INJUNCTION.

" Paul to Christians. Unfortunately for
teachers. Christians sometimes forget St.
Paul and his inj unctions. Hence it becomes
necessary again to remind the patrons Of
Walhalla Female High School. that most of
them still owe tho teachcrs for instructinc
their children, and all still owo me for tho
fuel that warmed them scholastic yenr, till
they broke up tho largest school ever known
in this section of country. Some families
had from to children in that school that
have not paid one dime for tuition or Incl !.
dcntals, yet these reople paid last term and
arc now paying this year for the samo
children in other schools. Why this unjust
and unwisc discrimination ] say unjust.
because the teachers claims rest on Right, as
was irrcf,ag.bly proved Ivy late Sylioyism.
l say nnwise, because. though temporary
success may sometimes render Injustice moro
rampant, the wrong We do our fellow. beings,
will, if there be any truth in the Bible, ulti-
matcly find its rotribution in somo form or
other. Therefore il bchoovcs Christians who
triflc with the rights Of teachers to ponder
seriously and inquire, whether by such ouos.

interests that infinitely transcend in value
mere dollars and cents. Whom tho tax failed
WHOM the school was closed and tuition
