In this connection the Charleston
Meps and Courier says:
A total tax in Charleston County OF
less than one cent ON the dollar, includ-

one of the pleasant fruits of reform that
can be generally and readily appreciated
Two years ago so low rate OF taxation
was regarded as a characteristic Of the
good times that seemed destined never
to return-now it is an actual evidence
Of what has been accomplished, and an
indication Of what may yet be done in
ameliora,ing the condition of the people
of this State. The Hampton admins
tration has secured this reduction oil
the taxes and in return we owe it to the
State Government and to ourselves tha,
the taxes should be promptly paid and
the hand of the Administration held W

mighty task Of reform.

Sheen Raising.

We have oil along maintained that
nothing can be more profitable in this
section Of country than sheep raising /;
and, DOW that the Legislature has en-
acted a law authorizing owners Of sheep
to kill any dog that may be caught do
prsdating upon them, it is particularly
so. No enterprise requires so little
trouble, and no investment yields 50 large
a revenue. Any planter can by the e1'
penditure Of q very small sum Of money
have large flock Of sheep in two or
three years, and every owe will not only
produce lamb every year, but will
yield annually wool that will sell for as
much as she herself cost. Several pan
ters in the low country have been giving
attention to this industry, and with as
tonishiug results. What may not be
expected in country like ours, which
is especially adapted to sheep raising
On this subject We extract the fol>
lowing from the Neus and Courier Of q
recent date
A farmer in Charleston County bought,
four years ago, twenty-five common sheep
at So % each. They fed themselves all the
year round. and dogs did not disturb them.
The owner has sold quantity Of wool and
a number Of lambs, and now has sixty ewes
Of better grade than those he begun with.
Taking into account the..feeces and lambs
sold. the sheep bought have yielded clear
profit Of four dollars year each. One
sheep gave, at one shearing, ten pounds
Of wool, which were sold for 81 so. Toe
average value Of the fleece is one dollar
These are hnr,l facts and highly encour-
aging. Sheep-raising is manifesily very
profitable. They require no attention or
food, and, as we have said. the dogs do not
worry them. Four dollars year upon an
investment of So 25 is better than making
cotton or rice. in flush times. There is no
reason Why Charleston County cannot sup
rly all the meat needed for this market.
Cattle can be raised with advantage; now
that il Is demonstrated that fine hay can be
made here with ease. SO can poultry. At
the present time Charleston depends on the
Tennessee markets for poultry rs we'll rs
beef The money that is earned here, and
could remain here. now travels West ard
North as fast as II is earned.

board in the presidential election OF lS-
&c. that the Democratic electors actu-
Ally received the highest number oi
votes, and that the returns were so ma
nipulated and altered as to give tue
State to the Radicals. has created a pro-
found sensation throughout the country
NOT that they make any new disclos-
ures, or develop any facts that were not
generally known at the time the fraud
was cousummated. but becsuse they
confirm the charges Of corruption made
bv the Democrats upon evidence which
the electoral commission refused to ad'
NIT, and show beyond all doubt that
the rascality of the Florida officials was
mart of scheme deliberately con-
cocted In Washington, and carried into
execution, if not at the instigatiou. cer'
tainly with the full knowledge and con-
sent Of Mr.. Hayes and his partisaus.
While al Of this is going on, Mr..
Hayes remgins at the White House. and
smiles as blandly as if he wero Gincio-
natus himself.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore S,m says. "ths statement that
Governor Noyes, of Ohio, knew of every
movement made in Florida is undoubtly
correct. When the nomination Of Gov
ernor Noyes for Minister to France was
before the Senate, il was stated in Exc
cutive session that by all the rules OF
honesty and propriety he should be re-
iccted on account Of the gross crimioality
Of his proceedings in Florida. 1t I"
stated by gentleman of the highest
character, who was in oridaduring the
whole time of the canvass Of the vote,
that Gov. Noyes came there openly as
the personal friend Of Mr.. Hayes; that
it was he who was mainly instrumental
in stiaening up the backbone of the
Republican canvassers through his pro-
posed promises Of what Mr.. Hayes
would do when he became President,
and that it would be proved that Mr..
Hayes was cogni.aut ofeverything that
took place. When the investigation
commences the President will be re-
quested to recall Mr.. Noyes from France
20 that he can testify"
The same correspondent, speaking oi
the effect of the confessions ia political
circles in Washington, says: "Ihs
whole drift Of opinion seems to run to
the idea that, no matter what else may
come out Of it, the thing will not result
in unseaLing Hayes. A distinguished
Southern Senator said to night that to
him it looks as If il was great oppor
tuuity for the Democratic party to
strengthen itself for the future, but that
this could only bs done by the most
discreet management. A Confederate
Grigaaier, member Of the House, said
hs did not care how much fraud could
be proved, he was 10 favor of letting
Hayes alone. as he had great deal
more respeet-aad admiration for a man
uho would steal tho Presidency than for
a man who wa such coward and o
sneak as to allow it to be stolen from
him"

Revising the Tariff.

The new Tariff bill, as perfected by
the subcommittee Of the House Ways
and Means Committee, has been fur
nished to the press. Many of it's de-
tails are unimportant, and all of them
are as dry as the multiplication table.
A dispatch from Washington to the As
ISOLATED Press, after giving the nature
Of the bill in detail, adds, in regard to
it's leading character, as compared with
the existing tariff:
The general principles on which the bill is
based are reduction and simplifcation, and with
sections directly looking to the enlargement Of
our foreign trade. The schedules and CLASH
fcations of the present tariff are followed. A
slight reduction is made, averaging about 90
per cent. of the present rates in the entire list.
though in wines, brandies and cigars, and
other articles of like character, there is no re-
duction. There are no compound duties, rates
being either specific or al valOrem. There is
no free list. Every article that is not dutiable
is admitted free without specification or
enumeration. The present nNnber Of articles
in the Tariff law is reduced to about 500, alb
told, in this bill. All changes have been made
from ad valorem to specific duties wherever
practicable. It is claimed that this bill will re-
duce the cost of collection from 81, 100000 to
less than $3,000.000 The bill proposes to
raise 1854, 946, 900, estimated by treasury ex-
perts upon the average of imports for the past
six years. Only 1913, 900 were collected
last year. The publication of the bill at this
time is with view of eliciting expressions of
public opinion before final action.

Reached the fore cutter, and, in obedience to
an order from the Captain, commenced
to start the water in the casks stored
forward to tighten the ship; was assisted in SO
doing by the carpenter ard one of the quarter
masters, who was afterwards drowned. The
mate suggested that sail should be made by
setting the foresail and on getting his
consent went aloft and, assisted by Charles
Seaman, loosed the foresail and succeeded in
setting the sail, which remained but few min
utes until carried sway, and it was necessary to
cleW up the port wing of the sail. The ship
struck heavily amidships, evidently breaking
her back, but she continued to drive on the
beach. The admirable management of the
helm, assisted by the foresail, maintained the
ships position head on until fairly beached. Soon
after this the main-mast went, and she began
to break up rapidly, the first seas that boarded
her having destroyed or crippled all the re-
manning boats but the dingy, which was at
tached to the starboard forward davits. Upon
that boat [ placed my chief hope of safety,
provided I could maintain possession of the
boat tor sending line ashore at low water
But while my attention was otherwise engaged
the boat was lowered and my purpose defeated
while she, without any management save the
providence of God, was borne to the beach
perfect lark of safety" for the six or seven
poor fellows who had the courage to secure the
opportunity.
During the trying hours of the day several
OF the Inflated passengers, bravely intrusting
themselves to the tide, evidently lost heart
with the passage of the first breaker over their
heads and, abandoning all hope, sank without
a struggle. Others, either washed or leaping
off the wreck, would almost seem to have COM
mitted suicide so deliberately did they bury
their heads beneath the waves and meet their
doom.
The foremost falling aft, and the foresail
being still partially spread several were either
killed by it's fall or buried beneath the mass
| of the sail in such way as made death GER
| tain.
At about 4:3O or perhaps p. NJ, the mid
ship body of the hull, the fore body being al
ready gone, began to break up rapidly, while
[ urged all who would listen to me to trust
themselves to Providence, the waves and their
life-preservers. Many did SO, and the majority
with success. At length the closing scene was
| upon u.s. The lower-deck beams gave way and
the starboard broadside, giving a few more
heavy shocks from the surf, sank slowly be-
meath the waves.
