I Owe no Man a Dollar.

The wealth of our next door neighbor,
But bid me still to be stout of heart,
And cheerfully follow my labor,
You must know the last of these little debts,
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night So we'll both go forth,
And shake hands with the world to NOR
Oh, the debtor is but shame. faced dog
With the creditors name on his collar,
While I'm king and you are queen,
For we owe no man u dollar.
Our neighbor you saw in the coach to day,
With his wife and his founting daughter,
While we eat down at our coveriess board,
TO crust ard cup of wotcr,
saw that tear drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal il;
knew that the contrast reached your heart,
And you could not help bat feel it;
But knowing now; that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar.
You'll join my laugh and help me shout
That owe no man dollar.
This neiskbor whose show has dazzled your
eyes,
In fact, is q wretched debtor;
l pity him oft from my very heart
And wish that his lot were better;
Why the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife and daughter,
Will live in style though ruin should come,
So he goes like lamb to the slaughter!
But he feels ii tighter every day,
That terrible debtors colar
Oh, what would he give could he say with us,
That he owed no man dollar
You seemed amazcd-but I'll tell you more;
Within two hours l meet him
Sneaking away with q frightened air
- AS if fiend had beset him;
Yet he fed from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure
Whom called by name, and turned to stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure,
He held my last note! so 1 held him fast!
Till he freed my neck from the collar;
Then 1 shook his hand as 1 proudly said
"Now I owe no man o dollar!"
All! now you smile, for you feel the force
OF the truths I've been repeating;
knew that drowning honest heart
In the gentle breast was beating
Tomorrow I'll rise with giants strength
. To follow my daily labor;
But ere we sleep let us humbly pray
For our wretched next door neighbor;
And We'll pray for the time when all shall
be free,
From the weight of debtors collar;
When the poorest shall lift his voice and cry;
"Now / owe no man O dollar"

McEvoy's Confession.

Ii is we'll known throughout the
State that what McEvoy supposed.
were his last mon ents on earth, when
, his coffin was just outside the Jail
door, and he supposed be had but
an hour to live, that he eviuced
disposition to tell what he knew of
more than one murder, other than
the one for which he was to die,
which had been committed in S. O..
1t is said that McEvoy was ersuad-
ed, the day upon which he was to have
been executed, not to put a halter
around the neck of any man unless
1t would save an innocent mans life.
and that he had concluded to let his
knowledge of these murders be bu-
ried with him. Be this as it NAV,
since his respite he has thought bet
ter OF the matter, and various inter-
views with Col. Claude E. Sawyer, q
member Of the House of Repres, n
tatiVes from Aiken county, has given
him the in:orma ion in his possession
touching the murder of W. E. Saw
yer, Jr., in February, 1874.
The statements Of McEvoy were
conveyed to Governor Hampton,
which induced that officer to offer
reward for the arrest of any party,
or parties, who were engaged in the
murder. Acting upon the revela-
tions OF McEvoy, Colonel Sawyer and
Mr.. Soulhsll, a de uty sheriff OF
Aiken County, proceeded a few days
ago to Euha ee, o. small town in
Barto" county, Ga, and there ar
'ested Solomon Aultman. The lat
ter surrendered eadily, required no
'eGus'liou from Governor uamptior,
Int conseuicd to return to Sonth
Carolia at once. We learn that
Aullman protested his innocence
while on his way back to this state
with MCssrS. Sawyer and Sunthal,
but upon reaching Aiken Jail broke
down, and nlads a clean breast uf it.
im,,licating Elijah d. Watson and
Milton ~. Watson, two white men,
who are first cousins, one residing at
Ninety-SiX, in Abbvvlile county,
and the other at Johnston, in Edge
field county.
The two Watsons were arrested
yes erday, and are at present con-
fined IN the county Jail OF their re-
spective counties. Our informant, a
gentleman who arrived in Colum-
bia yesterday, and who is well ac-
quainted with the accnscd parties,
states hat AEltman, who ia quite
Young man-not 80 years Of age yet
says that since the commission of
the crime Aultman's hair has tnrned
from raven 4lackness to be as white
as cotton, and that he says that day
or night, since the commission of
the bloody decd, he has never had
moments peace of mind; that the
murdered young man has been ever
before him, whether sleeping or
awake; like Banquo's ghost, he would
not down, and now that he has con-
tessed his participation in the foul
murder, he feels greatly relieved in
body and mind.

TEkaE is but little change to note in the aspect Of CONNER
ciaI Or agricultural matters the past week.
An interesting letter from Kau, published in another col
umn, touches upon a subject which is certain to attract gen
eraI attention. The point is this: that there is a vast reser-
voir of water in the rest belt which surrounds the Island Of
Hawaii at an elevation of from 1000 to 1900 feet above the
level of the sea, Astounding in perennial springs with quite
sufficient water tor the supply Of the lower lands near the
coast. No doubt a similar state Of things will be found 10 pre-
vail On the other islands, and the problem will be to devise a
cheap method to convey the water to the points where it is
needed. Ditching i too precarious, iron pipes too costly, but
Wyekof-s Wooden Pipes would seem to be just the thing
needed as to cheapness and durability. The attention of the
public is especially directed to the letter Of our correspondent

JUNE Is.

The PROCEEDINGS in the Assembly during one
or two days of the past week, have been some
thing quite out Of the uninteresting routine of
worthless speech-making over impossible bills
and resolutions which has to a great extent
so far characterized the present session. The
Committee of Finance, it will be remembered.
some ten days since brought in a report on the
accounts Of government departments, wherein
they severely criticized those of the Attorney
General and the Minister of the Interior, and
declared the conduct Of Ministers g deserving of
the gravest censure." A s~ub-commission was
appointed by the Assembly and the Ministers,
consisting of three experts selected from the
community at large, whose report, laid before
the Assembly on Monday last, will be found in
full in the supplement accompanying to-day's
ADVERTISER. In discussing the final disposition
to be made of the Committees report, with
which was included that of the Commission on
ednesday last, a lengthy debate was had, and
the session lasted until late in the afternoon,
ending in the adoption of the report by a vote of
"a ayes to II noes. "a careful perusal of the
two reports will show, that while the Ministers
are not accused OF anything like dishonesty in
the management o6 the public funds, yet they
are distinctly charged with malefeasance in Office,
and particularly as to two departments Now
the adoption of the Finance Committees report,
without amendment or qualification, by a ma
jority of the Assembly, is unquestionably a vote
of censure on the Ministry, would be SO regarded
in any other country governed by a Constitu-
tional monarchy, and the necessary result would
be a change of Ministry. Here, however, all
the circumstances are decidedly exceptional, and
it is quite futile to undertake to apply to our
people the rule that would obtain in Great
Britain, for instance. Political parties, in the
sense as understood there, are simply impossible
here. On important questions concerning the
government Of the country, there are no differ
ences of opinion here, of any moment. While
the Investigations of the Committee of Finance
have shown that reforms are imperatiyeIy needed
in the conduct of details in some of the Offices of
government the accomplishment of which
result from the investigation now made,
and for which result Ministers will be held re-
by the country-yet public opinion has
not by any means abated it's confidence in the
integrity, patriotism and prudence of the present
Ministry, and, deprecating the demoralizing
effect of frequent changes in government, sees no
necessity for a change at the present ~juncture.

ropeans may take spirits in their own tents, but
must not take any outside. Upon another point
the correspondent writes thus 81 have asked
the Maories how it is that Hauhauism has not
developed itself in the way of educating the
children, who are now growing up as ignorant as
their ancestors FIVE hundred years ago. To this
they reply that our education, like our Christi
anity, is not suited to them. No boy who has
ever been educated in English style has turned
out well. He has never had the qualities of a
great Maori chief, and has never been able to
gain the respect of the Maori people"
After the conferences with Tawhiao, Sir
George and Mr.. Sheehan visited Rewi at his settle
ment near at the Puniu river. This chief pro-
missed to use all his influence to bring about a
satisfactory understanding with the other chiefs
and tribes who still held aloof.
Rewi is to be called to the Legislative Council,
and will take a seat in the Upper House as soon
as a final settlement is made.
New Zealand appears to be a fayorite and at
tractive field for immigration from Europe, for
we note by the census statistics which have lust
been completed that the population is over 4l4,-
900, an increase since 1874 of more than SO per
cent. This great increase will probably con-
tinue, as the climate is all that can be desired,
neither too hot nor too cold, and the capacity of
the soil is unsurpassed by any of the Australian
Colonies. a fair treatment Of, and just respect
TO, the rights of the Maoris will insure the per-
manent peace and tranquility, SO indispensably
to the future prosperity of the Colony.
