This was the language Of John J. Patter-
son in Washington on the Gay that Cham
berlain quietly surrendered the Governor
ship of South Carolina. Patterson speaks
by the card, and his words are literally
true. Wherever the carcass is there the
buzzards will lie. Patterson, scenting
plumber from afar, carpet -bagged from
Juniata county, i'll this State, at the close
of the rebellion, and became one Of the
most shameless and corrupt plunderers of
the taxpayers Of South Carolina. Eventu-

O'Clock for the purpose of taking a walk
They left in the house their daughter, An
ma Bell, aged eighteen years, who bad
been in i'll health from her birth. A sis
ter OF Mrs. Abbott remained in charge of
the dwelling. Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott bad
not proceeded very far when they were
overtaken by messenger, who informed
them that their daughter was very i'll and
requesting them to return home, which
they did at once. On entering the front
room without any preliminary warning
they discovered that their daughter had
just expired, The unfortunate mother
gazed upon the body of her child whom
she had left but a short while before, and
throwing her arms above her head she also
fell lifeless upon the floor. DIR. Bell was
Immediately summoned but on his arrival
he pronounced both mother aud daughter
dead. The shock had been too gi eat for
the former. and her death had boen instan-
taneous. The tidings of the sad affair
spread rapidly, and friends aud neighbors
soon gathered around the scene, aud did
all in their power to console Mr.. Abbott,
who was almost distracted by the double
calamity that had SO suddenly befallen him.

poor woman was about to leave the sacred

other property, real or personal, while 1t
was purchased at a price far below that
paid for any other property.
II has been the effort of every Congress
that has assembled since the surrender OF
the Confederate armies, to increase the
value of the public Indebtedness by magni-
flying the intrinsic worth of the government
bonds. We should not object to this If 1t
had not been done at the expense of all
other property. But here is the terrible
effects of this work. by making these bonds
payable in gold instead of currency, they
have been withdrawn from our ewn people
in immense numbers and sent to Europe
where they drain this country of all our
precious metal, especially gold, TO pay IN
terest.
The effect of this change was to cause a
boarding of bonds, they were formerly a
part of our currency, and a bond of $1,000
would buy house worth $1,000. Since the
change in the bonds by which they were
made better than so much in gold the effort
has been 10 depress the widows cottage
who may have bought 1t with bond saved
from the pension for a dead husband killed
in battle, until the house wi not sell for
more than 5000, while the bond she gave
for II is worth, as purchasing medium,
$500 to $4,000. And there is not farm or a
house or lot anywhere that has not been
depleted in just about this ratio, by this
disastrous measure by the Congress OF
lS73 and which added to the operation very
largely was the additional act of demone-
tizing silver; that is in plain words making
real money more scarce. II, when the
bonds were made payable in gold, they
had also been made subject to like
taxes with real estate the change from cur
rencj bonds to gold bonds might have
been excusable. But as these bonds now
exist payable in go d only with silver de
monetized, there is being built up in the
country an aristocracy of wealth who add
nothing to the general prosperity and are
mere cormorants to be supported by tax
alton drawn from labor of thr masses. To
sustain this class everything is taxed. L
| spoon 1t is taxed, If with Il silver one il
taxed, If with pewter it is taxed, If with
iron 1t is taxed. There is no escape from
the cradle to the grave; all things are mort
gagged but for the benefit of that one class
the aristocratic bondholder And these
bonds are held manly in Old England
New England and by the Holland bankers
If a young farmer wants TO marry he find
the lands that yielded to his ancestry whel
young handsome remuneration, and en-
couraged his father to take unto himsel
q wife are mortgaged to the boHdholder in
sum that robs them of nearly all renta
value, he turns to his stock, his cattle AM
his sheep and there is no escape anywhere
and rather than live in poverty with
j young family on his hands, gives up eve
the plain duty enjoined. These reflection
are by no means encouraging; and ar
operating to place our dear country in tn
condition in which parts of Germany an
other aristocratic countries are found wher
wedlock is too expensive, and must b
avoided until the government is given tn
best end of the young life.
