The new census law providing for the
taking of the census in 1880, establishes a
census Office at Washington, with chief
officer called Superintendent of Census,
who has salary of 5000, is appointed
by the President, and is to be affirmed

The Secretary of the Interior also des-
ignates one or more Supervisors for each
State or Territory, to be appointed by the
President and confirmed by the Senate,
at "a salary of $500 for all services except
an allowance for clerk hire, at the discre-
ton of the Superintendent.
Each Supervisor shall designate and
employ, with the consent of the Super
intendent. enumerators within his dis
trict, one for each subdivision, and resi-
dent therein. with reference solely to his
fitness and without reference to his
political affiliations.

shall be, in subdivisions where the Super
intendent shall deem such an allowance
sufficient, not exceeding two cents for
every living inhabitant, two cent for each
death reported, ten cents for each farm
and fifteen cents for each establishment
of productive industry enumerated and
returned, may be given in full compensa-
ton for all services, and no claims for
mileage or travelling expenses shall be
allowed in such subdivisions. Provided,
That the subdivisions to which the above
rate of compensation shall apply must
be designated by the Superintendent Of
Census at least one month in advance of
the enumeration. For all other subdi-
visions rates shall be fixed in advance of
the enumeration by the Superintendent
with approval of the Secretary of the In
terror, according to the difficulty of the
enumeration, but the compensation al
lowed to any enumerator in any district
east of the Tooth meridian shall not ex-
ceed an average of four dollars per day
of ten hours of actual field work each,
and the compensation allowed to any
district west of the Tooth meridian shall
not exceed six dollars per day of equal

Revolutionary Proceeding in Charles
ton.

The people of the South, and especial
ly of South Carolina, continue to mani
fest their hatred of United States SOL
diers whenever an occasion presents it.
self, and there can be no doubt that the
revolution is "booming" in that State.
For some years past regiment of artil-
lery has been stationed in Charleston.
A few weeks ago the Secretary of War
directed that the post should be broken
up, and that the troops should be re-
moved to Atlanta. When this order
was promulgated, General Siegling, an
unhung rebel who was appointed by the
traitor Hampton to the command of q
brigade of volunteers, addressed note
to General Hunt, the Union commander,
thanking him for his uniform courtesy
to the people of that city, and for the as
sistance he had often rendered in the
preservation of order. He added that
General Hunt had endeared himself to
all the people, causing the uniform he
wore to be regarded as the badge of the
"officcr and the gentleman" and making
the cold flag" welcome as of old in the
sight of the citizens. He concluded by
requesting General Hunt to name time
when it would be convenient for him and
his officers to accept more formal ex-
preston of sincere appreciation and high
regard. General Hunt was too busy to
accept the invitation, but in his letter of
declination he says:
Coming among you as strangers, you
received us in the kindest manner, and
with soldierly frankncss gave us your
kindness in advance. 1t is a great satis-
faction to know that the consequent feel
ings of mutual regard and esteem have
continued uninterrupted, and grown so
that we part now rather as comrades
than as persons who have been casually
thrown together. Please to receive for
yourself and to communicate to the Off
GERS of the brigade our hearty thanks
and especiallay mine-for the good
words you have given us, and the kindly
feelings which dictated them. We will
remember them, and mark with white
stone" the period of our service in
Charleston.
1t is to be hoped that Hampton's rebel
militia will not be allowed TO insult
Union soldiers or to bull-doze Union Gen.
erals into writing such letters as the
above with impunity. The allusion to
the old flag in General Siegling's COM
munication is palpably revolutionary
We call the attention OF Messrs. Congel
and Frye to this matter in order that
they may have it thoroughly sifted.-Au'

The Homestead Law.

Mr.. EDITOR: Perhaps the most odious
of all the radical reconstruction laws en-
braced in the constitution of South Caro-
lima, is the one that heads this article.
The close of the late civil war found
nearly all men who had owned slaves,
badly in debt, and our New England ad-
venturers and South Carolina dema-
gogues,, being aware of this fact, and
knowing that drowning men catch at
straws," and having some doubts about
the ratification of their new tangled, re-
construction ideas, thought to insert this
swindling homestead clause in the consti-
tuition to catch their votes. This being
a tender subject at the time, the people
and the press generally kept silent. But
the thing would not work. The Supreme
Court held that it could not hold good
for debts contracted before its passage,
aud hence the debtors last chance was
lost; but the econstructionists had won.
Now, what next? The Supreme Court
decides that the products of lands, other
than the previously assigned homestead,
are not exempt from levy and sale--in
other words, the crops of tenants and
non-land holders can not be claimed as a
homestead. Why not? Because the
aforesaid reconstructionists, in their
hurry to get full control of the govern
ment, seem to have forgotten there was
such being as poor man in the franz
ing Of the constitution. Now what is
the sequel7 We have discriminating
homestead law. The man who owns his
81 900 worth of real estate and his $500
worth of personal property, can make
debts, and swindle his creditor out of his
money; the man with little or no prop.
erty, who is dependent on his muscle for
a living, may work hard all the year, and
then have all his produce sold from him,
while his more fortunate land-holding
neighbor can hold his as a homestead.
Should such state of affairs exist ?
I answer, no. We should call consti-
tutional convention, and if it is the judg-
ment of the convention we must have q
homestead law, let it be reasonable one,
and one that makes no discrimination
between classes. I think the people are
getting tired of homestead laws, and /
am anxious to see change. Much more
might be said, but I will let this suffice
for the present. Keep the ball in mo.
ton, and let us hope for change for the
better.-Spartanburg Spartan.

THE BOY I LOVE.
By ]. T, TRowBRIDGE.

My boy, do you know the boy love?
fancy see him now
His forehead bare in the sweet spring air,
With the wind of hope in his waving hair,
The sunrise on his brow.
He is something near your height may be.
And just about your years;
Timid as you; but his will is strong,
And his love of right and his hate of wrong,
Are mightier than his fears.
He has the courage of simple truth,
The trials thai he must bear,
The peril, the ghost that frights him most
He faces boldly, and like ghost
1t vanishcs in air.
AS wildfowl take, by river and lake,
The sunshine and the rain,
With cheerful, constant hardihood
He meets the bad luck and the good,
The pleasure and the pain.
Come friends in need7 With heart and deed
He gives himself to them.
He has the grace which reverence lends
Reverence the crowning flower that bends
The upright lily-stem.
Though deep and strong his sense of wrong,
Fiery his blood and young,
His spirit is gentle, his heart is great,
He is swift to pardon and slow to hate;
And master of his tongue.
Fond of his sports? No merrier lads
Sweet laughter ever rang!
But he is so generous and so frank,
His widest wit or his maddest prank
Can never cause pang.
His own sweet ease, all things that please,
He loves, like any boy;
But fosters prudent fortitude;
Nor will he squander future good
To buy heetingioy.
Face brown or fart little care
Whatever the hue may be,
Or whether his eyes are dark or light
If his tongue be true and his honor bright
He is still the boy for me.
Where does he dwell7 cannot tell;
Nor do know his name,
If poor or rich? don't mind which;
Or learning Latin, or digging ditch;
love him all the same.
With high brave heart perform your part,
Be noble and kind as he;
Then, some fair morning, when you pass,
Fresh from glad dreams before your glass,
His likeness you may see.
You are puzzled? What! you think there
is not
A boy like him-surmise
That he is only bright ideal?
But you have power to make him real,
And clothe him to our eyes.
You have rightly guessed; in each pure
breast
L, his abiding place.
Then let your own true life portray
His beauty, and blossom day by day
With something of his grace.
-Yo,lhs Companion.
