Senator Sherman's idea Of dividing the
receipts from Internal Revenue among
the States has met with very little favor,
so far, in any section Of the Union. It
is evidently intended to, keep the protec-
ton tariff up to the highest point posi-
BILE, aud therefore is opposed by all reve-,
nue. reformers. It;is mere political
dodge to maintain the tariff, and at the
same time appeal to the taxpayer on the
plea that the general government is light
ening the burdens of local taxation. It
proposes, however, when fully examined
to lightsn these burdens in one place to
unnecessarily impose them. in another.
The Internal Revenue being levied al
most entirely upon lu1uries is not bur-
den unless the citizen voluntarily chooses
to assume, the burden, while on the other
hand the tariff. being levied on many ar
ticles. we eat, most articles we wear, the
materials we use il building, in manu-
facturing-in fact, on. the bulk of articles
we buy-is a burden, whether realized
or not, upon every citizen, and falls of
course heavier upon the laboring man
than upon the capitalist. Therefore, it
is to the interest Of the masses to main
tain the Internal Revenue and cut down
the tariff. It would, however, be better
to divide this revenue among the States
than to abolish it altogether.

The Sumter Treasure.

A colored man, named John Buckner,
has taken a contract to drain Beech
Creek, near Stateburg in this county, for
highway purposes. He has in his EN-.
ploy BENJAMIN Gatlin and Stephen Col
Inns, also colored. The other day, while
engaged at their work, they came across
two earthen jars, containing lard, and ia
which were deposited silverware, such as
spoons, ladies, &C., to the value of over
one hundred dollars. The silver plate
bore the engraved letters 81. +. D."
There were also found gold thimble.
marked rs. r." q pair of gold spectacles,
gold and silver pieces of money to the
value of about fifty dollars. Several
other articles of jewelry were also found,
as earrings, &C. These articles are be.
lieved to have been the property of
family by the name Of Desmukes, who
are related to the McCrady family in
Charleston, The Desmukes refugeed
here during the war, and were living at
or near Stateburg at the time of Potter's
raid. These people had several idle ser:
wants at this time, who accompanied
Potter's forces. The articles were buried
lust prior to the raid. The Desmukes
family are thought to be living some
where in Tennessee. The fidelity of the
servants, who afterward went off with
Potter, is regarded as quite remarkable.
Old residents in Stateburg remember
those people, and the owners of the prop
erty NAV vet be able to recover their long
hidden treasure. Sumter aavance.

Georgia vs.. North Carolina.

The two leading cotton manufacturing
States in the South are Georgia and
North Carolina. On the first day OF
June, 1880, Georgia had 40 mills, con-
tanning 2OO,974 spindles; North Carroll
na had 40 mills, containing 102,7G7.
Three years and a half elapse and the
account stands as follows: Georgia has
e. mills, containing 340,130 spindles
North Carolina has 80 mills, containing
2l3,362 spindlcs. North Carolina has
more mills and Gergia more spindles.
The activity and ambition of the two
States in the direction of cotton manu-
featuring do not greatly vary. Georgia
has more capital, but North Carolina has
more water powers. 1t is snug race,
and Georgia should look to her laurels,
for the excess of mills in North Carolina
is menace to Georgia's position at the
head of the list. We hope that every
North Carolina mill will prosper and ac-
cumulate spindes, but at the same time
We hope that Georgia will maintain her
pre-. eminencc. The census of 1890 will
tell the story of this interesting industri-
al contest between the two States. No
other Southern State is struggling for
first place, although South Carolina and
Maryland are no laggards when the num-
Der of spindles is regarded.-Attanta

The Raging Ohio.

CINCINNATI, February 15.-At 8
o'clock this morning the river was 70
feet 4 inches and falling. The weather
is clear and cold. The river is falling
all the way above, and very rapidly a
hundred miles or so up the river. At
$40 o'clock this O. m. an alarm of fire
was sounded from the box at Ludlow
and Pearl streets, where the water sur.
rounded the houses. When the engine
reached the place, it was discovered that
the rear portion of two brick buildings
on the south side of Pearl street, near
Ludlow, had fallen in, and ten persons
were buried in the ruins or drowned.
The occupants of the front portion had
given the alarm, and before relief had
been obtained the fire alarm sounded.
The firemen, in conjunction with the
police, made superhuman efforts to res.
cue the living and recover the bodies of
the dead. The buildings were used as
boarding houses and had twenty to thirty
occupants living in them, and were soon
taken out, but four members of the fam.
ily named Burke, Mr.. and Mrs. Caultcr,
Maude Ellis, Lydia Ellis, Willie Kyle
and another whose name is unknown;
all supposed to have been crushed or
drowned. Mrs. Webb, occupant of the
room in the part that fell, was awakened
by the cracking of walls. She tried to
arouse others, but fell with the building,
and yet escaped without injury. The
buildings were occupied as boarding
houses by Robert Kyle and George Oys.
ter. There were about thirty.tive peo-
pie in the buildings at the time. The
following persons are known to have
been killed by the falling timber or
drowned: John w. Kyle, son of the
proprietor, Mary E. Caulter, Maud Eli
son, James Ogden, Barney Winkler,
Mrs. Winkler, Thomas Burk, and Mrs
Lena Burk and two children, William
and Louis Burk, making ten lives lost so
far as known. The accident has spread
terror among the occupants of similar
old buildings in the flooded districts.
Many who can do so are getting to safer
quarters.
The disaster la. increased in the hor.
rible discovery of two more bodies OF
persons not known hitherto to have been
among the victims. These are MIR. and
Ms. Woehmier, who have been taken
out and identified. The search is still
in progress for others.

- Senator Lapham has outraged the
courtesy of the Senate. The New York
Times says that on Monday he was
anxious to attract the attention of q page,
and having failed to do so by shaking a
paper at the boy, he startled his fellow
members on the floor by whistling two
or three times very audibly, for which
breach of the decorum of the Senate he
received an invitation from the Chair to
be in order. A little later he rudely
startled his next neighbor, Mr.. Malone,
by finging wrapped newspaper over
the Senator's shoulder as lie was about to
rise to make motion. the paper striking
the wall with terrific bang. Later on
he went about the chamber patting sev:
eral Senators familiarly on the back and
engaging them in spirited conversation.
Senator Lapham must have been dis
guised in benzine. Senator Frye ought
to move q committee of investigation.

Cause and Remedy for the Flood.

Discussing the Western floods, an
Ohioan said To me: "You need not ex-
press surprise that the water reaches a
higher mark this year than ever before.
The water sheds of the Middle and
Western States are being rapidly stripped
of their forests. And this means more
floods and higher ones. Indeed We may
look for annual overhows that will prac-
tically wipe out many river towns, aud
change the map of the river cities. As
for the Mississippi valley you lmay look
for terrible disaster there in the next
twenty days"
"And the remedy for this ?"
."There is but one. Save the remnants
of the forests and plant new trees on a
gigantic scale. AS long as the water
sheds are bare there will be quick and
tremendous foods. A forest is the con
servator of rain. 1t is vast reservoir,
in which the rain is stored, and from
which it is led out slowly. On bare hills
the soil bakes and the water rushes down
in torrents. We shall have annual hor-
rors and disasters until the forests are
restored"
