tPlttshurg Postl
A soldier who served in the swamps OF South
Carolina during the war tells the following
story: Among the officers whom | remem-
Der we'll at Morris Island was Col. Sewell, of
New York, a most excellent officer and an ac-
compllshed engineer. Col. Sewell was en-
gagged on the Swamp Angel, and being very
energetic himself he was not afraid to enter
the swamps. His surprise can be- imagined
when one day one of his lleutenants whom he
had ordered to take twenty men and enter the
swamp said he could not do 1t.
sand why, sir, can't you do it?" cried the
energetic Sewell.
1.-The mud Is too Deep Colonel" replied the
lieutenant.
"You can at least try, SIR" said SewelI
The lieutenant did SO, and In an hour re-
turned, his men covered with mud from head
to foot.
Here, now" cried sewell on seeing them,
what brings you backW
can't do it"
"Oh but you can make requisition for
anything that Is necessary for the safe pass
age OF the swamp, and | will give 1t to you,
but you must go through It,"
The lieutenant did make requisition In
writing, which was as follows:
81 want twenty men eighteen feet long to
cross a swamp fifteen feet Deep"
The joke was good one, but Sewell, who
WAS terribly In earnest, could not just then
appreciate 1t, and he promptly arrested the
lieutenant for disrespect to his superior Off
GER. Another lieutenant was detailed, and he
went into the swamp, felled the timber and
accomplished what his unfortunate predeces-
sor had failed to do. Col. Sewell built his bat
terry with the aid of wheelbarrows and sand
and the remains of 1t still stand as monu-
ment to his energy and skill as an engineer.

1t appears from the reports from Washing
ton that Senator EImnnds shows signs Of
uneasiness over the efforts which are made
to set him up as presidential candidate
His friends say he contemplates expressing
In some public manner his unwilliDgness to
be considered a candidate. He would do SO
at once II he thought the movement In his
favor was large enough to warrant such
declaration. He was gratified by the action
OF the Vermont convention, because Ii was an
expression of the esteem and confidence Of
the people of his own State, but the :dea OF
being candidate never entered his head, as
the Office of President Is one which has no
alluring attractions for him. He much pre-
fers the positions OF Senator. This announce
ment ought TO be sufficient, says the New
York Tribune, to "cail f. the well meaning
persons who have the Etmunds movement
In charge, but It probably won't be. They
are annoying him and making themselves
ridiculous, but they are advertising them
selves at the same Time.

Mr.. Farmer, chairman, on behalf of the
Committee on Ways and Means, reported as
follows:
NEW ORLEANS. April 6, 1880.
To the Speaker and Members of the House OF
Representatives:
Your Committee on Ways and Means, to
Senate bill No. 1877 entitled
An act to provide for the sale of all prop
erty forfeited or sold for delinquent taxes or
licenses,
Reports the same favorably, with the fol-
lowing amendment, to wit:
strike out the words March, 1882" and In
sert the words april, 1884,"
Your committee Is of opinion that it Is
fmpolittc and unconstitutional to defer the
final sale of property sold to the State or for
fetted to the State until March, 1882
First impolitic because sufficient DELAY
on the collection OF delinquent taxes and
licenses is already given In the ordinance for
the relief of delinquent taxpayers which the
sale OF property forfeited to and bought by
the State until the year 1881 and because the
holders of valid Auditors warrants fout-
standing January l, 1ss0) at the date or the
adoption OF the constitution have the right to
realize on their warrants by funding them
into baby bonds or by exchanging them for
and licenses, and they ought not to be COM
PEELED to walt until that time If the final sale
of the property, which is their only security,
s.deferfed until March, 1882, as will be seen
