No Money in the Treasury.


Great disappointment was felt by lh8fcredi-
tors. of the County, at the last meeting Of the
Board of Commissioners, upon being informed
that there was no money in the Tre1snry.--
Some grumbled at the Cormissioners and
others blamed the Treas but so hap
pen to known that neither d nose parties were
to blame in the least. The Name, il an. rests
altogether upon the tax naxara hnesa-r
poned paying theirtaxes. The TrcasurefE 5S6ms
us that almost every dollar he had received up
to that time had been paid out for Jury and
witness tickets and other expenses of the Court !;
and, in fact, he barely had enough to meet
those expenses up to the hour the court ad
journcd. Neither the Treasurer or the Com
missioners have any interest in keeping back
the money of the County when creditors call
for it. We think we know all OF them we'll
enough to say that nothing would give them
greater pleasure than TO meet every demand
upon the County, with cash, when presented.
There is one peculiar feature about this tax
paying business The small tax payers of the
County are, generally, very prompt in paying,
while the large tax payers hold on to their
money to the very last minute the law gives
Them, and then, like Oliver Twist, cry for more.
Direct Your Letters Properly.
Not many weeks ago we published o9pmp.
nicatioh complaining that q letter containing five
dollars had not reached its destination. A few
weeks afterward that same letter was returned to
this Post Office from the Dead Letter office-the
five dollars in it-with the information that it
had not been called for at Columbia, TO which
place it was directed. 1t turned out that the
letter was directed to the wrong name. No one
to blame but the person who sent ii. 1t is some
times almost impossible to tell to whom or where
a letter is directed the spelling and chrogrophy
being so awfully bad. A letter is now in the
office at this place without any direction at oil
upon it. 1t will be sent TO the dead letter office
and then sent back to this office. In the mean
time the Postmaster will, no doubt, be abused
and charged with neglect of duty.
When you send letter or anything else
through the mail. first be sure that it is directed
SO that it can be read, then spell the name of the
person to whom you send it correctly, also the
name OF the Post Office, County and State. If
you will observe these Instructions, in ninety
nine cases out Of one hundred they will 60
through promptly.

The Theological Seminary.

We sincerely regret to learn that the Thcolog-
ical Seminary of the Presbyterian Church, at
Columbia, will probably suffer loss of from
S25, 900 to $4,000 by the failure Of j. T. Ad-
ger & Co., of Charleston. There are now twen-
tyone students in the Institution, but unless aid
is promptly extended its exercises must be dis
continued. The venerable DR.. Plumer will, as ear
ly as possible visit oil the Presbyterian Churches
in the State in the interest Of the Seminary, and
we hope his mission will result in the abundant
relief of that old and useful Institution. In the
mean time all who can give aid should forward
it to DR.. Plumer or Rev. Geo. Howe, at Column
bia, Mt once Every Presbyterian congregation
should take prompt action upon the matter.
BSg- Next week there will be Farmers, their
wives and daughters, from all parts Of the Coun-
ty, at the Fair, discussing all matters concerning
their own as we'll rs their neighbors best inter
ests.

CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.

TO the Editor Of tho Democrat:
That the vicious habit Of carrying con
coaled weapons IL one of the principal causes
yen the principal cause OF the many homicides
of frequent occurrence In our midst, no one
can rIghtfully deny.
That II Ia the duty OF tho Inv giyer to do
oil hi his power to put final stop to tho I'M
manly and pernicous habit of carrying wehp-
ons concealed about tho person, all good clti-
zens will allow.
Tho writer OF this brief communication re.
marks that u few years prior to tho war
the habit Of the people In a certain sec
ton OF the State Of carrying concealed
weapons was as general as IL now unfortu-
nntely Ia. About this time tho State enacted
law making the carrying Of concealed
weapons an offense, punishable Tor tho first
offerlse with both fnc and imprisonment, and
increasing the nature Of the punishment for
sutpspatent olIenses. This statute was rigOr
o,lsly enforced In the part OF the State | al
lude "a, and In n short time the barbarous
custom OF carrying concealed weapons totally
ceased. For some retBOn unknown u subsey
uuent statute was enacted leaving IL to the
discretion Of tho Judge whether or not he
should imprison the offender, aud also to his
discretion the amount Of fine he should i'm
pose.
Let the old law be re-enacted requiring tho
Judge both to imprispn and fine, and for the
first olfense the imprisonment not to DO less
than thirty days and for subsequent oifenses
Increase tho fine and imprisonment md the
entire State Will be- In u short time absolutely
free from this great evil. Fines will seldom
deter mon from the infraction Of the law, but
ImpIisonment will overcome the most obdu-
ratio LEX.

New York to crafty their own personal am

very proper bill has been introduced In
The General Assembly Of Virginia which
makes II q felony for any person 20 attack
another with a cowhide or horsewhp. Affairs
OF this kind generally end In bloodshed, and
frequently the parties TO them are killed out
right. The bill alluded to. by provi ling for
the disgrace of the party using the whip, and
not the one who receives IL. will have a de-
terring effect upon the hot bloods of Virginia,
and prevent the occurrence Of such deadly
encounters as the recent affair between Carter
and poindexter in the streets of Richmond.
A similar law In all the States would largely
promote the public peace and serve to protect
human life.

Tho Times and Picap,tne have labored to

ported In It's position by the Bee, the Petit

These papers have done good service In the
cause of tho oppressed taxpayers and indus

DEMOCRAT, are sustained by a vast majority
OF our citizens.

The total cost 10 France Of the war with
Germany was =, 1857, $4,000, or this amount
$i,o0O,O00,oOO went to pay the indemnity. To
meet this heavy expenditure the government
procured s3io, 900. 900 from the Bank Of France
alone. A few days ago tho Minister of III
nance paid that institution $l3,000,0o0, being
y the last instalment on the amount borrowed.
This statement furnishes an idea of the ra-
snldity with which France is paying Off her
war debt. At the same time largely In
creased army Is maintained and tho other ex-
penses of the administration are promptly
met. All OF which speaks well for the re-
sources of the country, the rccupcrative en-
ergies of the people and the ability OF the f.
nancial management.

COURTS AND POLITICS.
To the Editor of the Democrat:

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
In noticing the fact that Gov. Nichols has
ut last signed the lottery bill you clearly
show that you feel some uneasiness lest the
courts may yet dlsappoint the people Of the
State by rendering decision In favor OF the
lottery.
This is very natural, for history teaches
that under grave political pressure the high
est courts fall far below tho just expecta-
tions OF unalloyed patriotism. It Is
a dcplorable fact that the pure bust
ness and the politics or people become
sometimes 50 intimately merged, the one In
the other. that vitiation Of the ermine Is APP
parently irresistible. or course there Is al
ways party to applaud any decision; but
the body OF the people lin which will be found
men of all parties) know and feel that the
main foundation OF political freedom is
shaken, and they shrink from the contempIa-
ton OF the fact in eloquent silence. 1t
Is the nature OF man to be indignant,
but 1t Is also his nature to be proud,
and pride prompts him to say that ct any
rate the court is entitled to the benefit of any
and all doubt involved, and we must there
fore presume the court to be entirely honest
In its convictions, however preposterous or
Injurious they may be.
Every man In the land feels the stigma Of
the decision by the Supreme Court of the
United States on the great legal tender"
question. There stands recorded in our his
tory the facts
First-That the Supreme Court Of the
United States. while free Of political pressure,
decided the great gu stiOn according to the
dictates of the supreme organic law Of the
land.
Second-That the same court reorganized
and packed by the money power and its po-
litcal hirelngs, decided precisely the reverse.
And then let US come home and view our
Returning Board of louisiana crime be-
fore which murder theft, arson, ETC., pale by
n-imperatively demanded the eX-
tremist punishment permitted by the law.
But the case was anticipated by the ''Conser-
vative" politicians of the state, and the Won
derful decision of our Supreme Court, which
wrenched Tom Anderson" from the Clutches
OF outraged law and justice will stand to II
prise and humiliate our children as it does us
OF to-day.
And again, and more recently. Ever since
the year 1852 New Orleans has recognized a
Just debt, called the consolidated debt" OF
the city. The man who reads the law through
which that debt was arranged will necessarily
say that in all human probability no law was
ever more carefully prepared for similar pur-
pose in any civilized country. More, until
recently no law or obligation was ever more
faithfully recognized or ablded by by any
people under the sun. We recognized the
consolidated bonds" as our debt, and
we cheerfully submitted to the tax
and principal. But the saturnalia Of
hadicalism and Conservative Democracy
came upon us and flooded the community
Win utterly illegal and fraudulent bonds far
Iuut-heasuring in amount the sum OF the
y cohsoioated bonds" these were bought up

The question Of cutting the lsthmus Of
Panama in two by a canal that will connect
the Atlantic aud Pacific oceans has lately
come up again for discussion, and has been
more earnestly considered than for many
years. The French people, to whom the Suez
canal Is largely due, seem to be most inter
ested In the Panama canal, and hold O con-
gress In Paris early in May at which Nj. de
Lesseps will preside, to decide ON the definite
form OF this canal. There are two schemes
mentioned French-one for a canal
Through Nicaragua by the utilization OF the
lake and its outlet, the San Juan river, in
which nature can be made to do nearly all the
work. The second is the cutting OF the mar
row neck of land at Daren. The latter
scheme, however, would recessitate locks and
tunnels, and the lowest estimate places the
Cat $500 1000, while the Nicaraguan canal
would not cost more than S20,G00,000, and
would be shorter by zoo miles between ports
% ihe United States and those OF the East.
IA view OF this fact the American Consul at
faris suggests the advisability Of the United
states being represented at this Paris Con-
gress- 80 as to protect and benefit thu ;ntar-
ests OF this country. '-'' '1
