END OF THE TBIKD VOLUME.
With this issuo ends the thitd volume
of Ths Expositor. While it* publication
has been with us a work of pleasure, it
has not been ono of profit—owing solely
to the foot that we trusted too much to
the honor of -tnaify who “subscribed to
pay in the tall when they sold their
ootton.” But in the future we expect
it to pay better —and soicly from the
fact that we intend to in ad
vance for the paper , or keep the material
unprinted on hand. The cash system is
the only one that will pay—it is the
only system that will keep alive any
enterprise. A man who is too stingy
to subscribe to a paper should certainly
be ashamed to borrow one, and sub
scribers should have the manliness to
refuse to lend him one; a man who is.
too poor to subscribe, we will give him
•no ; but a man who is mean enough tt>
steal one should be an outcast from
society —an object at which to point
the finger of scorn. And to subscribe
at tome have done , taking advantage of
an honest offer of proof only—such as
we made three years ago—is among the
meanest thefts of which a man can be
guilty. %
We have often asked delinquents to
“come up and settle,” but we shall ask
mo more — we shall add no new ones to
our list, and will “go to law' 1 with the
•Id, for we can not afford to lose what
is due us.
If subscribers whose year expires with
this number desire to continue taking
the paper, they should give us notice
between this and our next issue—pay
ment for the same will be the only notice
ueoessary. Without this prerequisite,
applications for continuation may as
well not be made for the good they will
accomplish.
With grateful thanks to all who have
promptly stood by us, and au earnest
.solicitation that they will continue so
to stand, we drop the curtain upon our
third year’s existence, with the deter
mination to more than ever merit, in
the future, the confidence and support
of honest men.
Louisville Industrial Exposition.
—The second National Industrial Ex
position at Louisville opens on the se
cond of September next. In an invi
tation extended to the editor of this pa
per we learn that the Directors of the
Exposition have perfected every ar
rangement necessary to making the dis
play the grandest and most varied ever
seen in this country. Those who at
tended the Louisville Exposition last
year can recall the pleasure and sur
prise which they felt on entering the
waet building, filled with its treasures
of Art, Industry, Mechanism, Handi
work, and Scientific collections. We
•re promised this year even a greater
and more attractive display. Antici
pating this, no one can afford to forego
the enjoyment of speeding a day or
more in the Louisville Exposition. Re
duced rates by Railroad and River
have been secured, which will enable
parties to visit the Exposition at com
paratively small expense. The increas
ed hotel accommodations and traveling
facilities in Louisville, together with
the natural attractions of the city will
make a visit to that place in Septem
ber or October both pleasant and pro
fitable.
Imperialism. —A Washington tele
gram of August 16, says: “Judge
Durell, of Louisiana, is here attempting
to arrange some possible basis of com
promise of the legislative aflfcirs of that
State with the Attorney General. It
M represented that a compromise be
tween the two factions has been agreed
upon, whereby there will henceforth be
but one Legislature, composed of the
members of both former bodies whose
elections wore not contested.” The
speetaole Of a Federal Judge and a
Federal Attorney General deciding as
to who shall not constitute members of
• State Legislature is refreshing, in a
Republican Government!

THE CONDITION OF LOUISIANA.
Letter from lion. John McEnery.
Tn response to a communication from
the citizens of Monroe as to the proper
courso to be pursued regarding Louis
iana affairs, Mr. John McEnery writes
a letter .udvising Jhe calling of a State
convention in I'eccniber, and the ap
pointment of a committee to appeal to
Congress.
After reviewing the course of events
in Louisiana the past year, Mr. McKn
ery says the preseut deplorable condi
tion of the State demands for her rescue
from oertain suffering the’ adoption of
ono of two remedies—cither the rescue
of her goverment from ignorance and
corruption pervading almost every de
partment, by the united action of the
United States, or the utter surrender
of the State to the Federal government,
trusting that the government may insti
tute an honest government that will
spare the people confiscation of their
proporty, now gradually going on, and
consequent iue’vitablc bankruptcy and
ruin.
To any one educated in the theory
and genius of our government, the lat
ter alternative is bard to accept, but
any government promising a better fu
ture, however irregularly instituted, is
preferable to one promising certain im
poverishment and general bankruptcy.
When people find themselves surround
ed as we arc by desperate and straiten
ed circumstances, commerce decaying,
agriculture demoralized, capital with
Mercurial wings in flight, real estate
depressed and depreciated fifty per cent,
since Kellogg’s rule, and in fact all
values on a decline, and all this in a
State of boundless resources, and simply
and alone due to the fact of bad, dis
honest and illegitimate government,
possessing neither the confidence of the
people at home or abroad, it is natural
they will accept relief from any hand
that extends it, and will not stop to in
quire as to the regularity or the irregu
larity of the authority exercised.
But I hope that fate is not so impe
rious that wc shall be driven to accept
so desperate a remedy. Let us hope
better of thase who hold our destiny in
their hands. Let us appeal earnestly
to Congress, trusting that honorable
body, casting aside all political preju
dice and party rule, will do simple jus
tice to a much wronged and injured
people. *
WATER POWER AT AUGUSTA, GA.
Mayor Estes, of Augusta, Ga., now
in New York, represents the enlarge
ment water power there as in a condi
tion that promises complete success.
Years ago it was belioved by practical
men that enlarging the Augusta canal
to a point on the Savannah river, above
the city of Augusta, would,. by econo
mizing the water, power in the rapids,
give a supply for mills that would large
ly benefit the manufacturing capacity
of the place. At present they have 1,-
100 horse power, with a fall of water
26 feet in two falls, on a seven
canal. All this is used in the city by
the Augusta factory and five flour mills,
iron foundries, etc. The enlargement
of the canal as p~oposed will change it
from 45 feet wide and 7 feet deep to
150 feet wide and 11 feet deep. This,
it i estimated, will furnish at least 11,-
000 horse power, and at a moderate es
timate 13,500 horse power.. It is in
tended that this water power eball be
used just outside the city at from 30 to
45 feet fall, thus utilizing all the force
of the water. As the laws of Georgia
exempt cottoD and woolen factories from
taxation (State and municipal,) for ten
years, it is believed that advantages of
the canal enlargement will be taken up
even before tbe work is fully completed.
The engineer in charge estimates and
the contractor promises that 2,000 horse
power shall be ready for use by Janu
ary next, and that by March, 1875, the
entire work will be finished. The
amount of money expended on the im
provement up to the first of August was
$250,000 This completes and pays for
one-half the work.
Newport, Rhode Island, with a popu -
lation of 13,000, claims real estate to
the value of $17,654,600 and personal
property valued at $9,832,900, making
a total of $26,487,500.’ This gives
an average of more than $2,000 to each
inhabitant. As there is no business
dene in Newport except that of keep
ing boarding houses and staring at the
shoddyites who go there to squander
their money and exhibit their fine
clothes and equipages, this showing is a
little aheadjof that of any town of its
size in the country.
[From the Sav. Advertiser & Republican.]
DECISION OF THE SUPREME
COURT.
An Important Matter Settled.
A decision of the Supromc Court of
the State of Georgia rendered on Satur
day last will bo read with much inter
est by those of our merchants dealing
in malt liquors. The case isnsfollows,
and wo preßout in briefly, mention of
it having been made in these columns
at the time it was btforo tho lower
court.
In tho the early part of June last E.
It. Schneider and other dealors in malt
liquors in tho city of Augusta, applied
to Judge Gibson of tho Superior Court
of Richmond county for an injunction
restraining Juo A. Bolder, Tax Collec
tor of Richmond county, from collect
ing the tax of two hundred and fifty
dollars imposed by the General Assem
bly at its last session upon all whole
sale dealers in malt liquors. Thequcstion
as to who are wholesale dealers it will bo
recollected, was submitted to the Comp
troller General, who decided that all who
sell malt liquors by tho cask are whole
sale dealers in the meaning of tho act.”
The parties above mentioned, consid
ering the law both illegal and unjust,
nppealod for an injunction, as above
stated, and the grounds of complaint
were set forth as follows :
Ist. Complainants deny being whole
sale dealers in the proper sense of the
term.
2d. The act is unconstitutional and
void, because, though called a license
tax, it is in fact a tax upon property,
and should be uniform and ad valorem.
3d. Even if it is a special tax, it is
not a tax levied under circumstances
authorized by the Constitution, viz:
for educational purposes.
4th. That even if it ia special tax
and levied for educational purposes, it
is still unconstitutional, in that it is not
ad valorem , for the Constitution, while
it does not require special taxes to be
uniform, does require them to bo ad
valorem.
sth. That the tax Collector is seek
ing to enforce such aet for a time when
it is not obligatory upon the inhabi
tants of this State.
6th. That if it is a license tax im
posed as a police regulation, that au
thority is conferred upon tho city
alone.
The injunction prayed for was grant
ed by Judge Gibson, but the counsel
for the City Council of Augusta, and
for the Tax Collector of the county,
excepted to the decision, and the case
was carried up to the Supreme Court.
This tribuual, it will be seen, has re
versed the decision of Judge Gibson, as
follows :
John A. Bohler, T. C., tb. E. R.
Schneider. *
Injunction froth Richmond.
Tiiippe, J..
1. The act approved 20th February
1873, imposing a special tax on whole
sale dealers in malt liquoos, is not in
violation of the 27th section, of articlo
1, of the Constitution of tbo State,
which says “taxation on pioperty shall
be ad valorem only, and uniform on all
species of property taxed.”
2. Such a tax is a tax on a business
occupation or calling, as decided in
Burch vs. Mayor and Aldermen of
Savannah, 42 Ga., 596; and hence is
not a tax on the sale of liquors, which,
by the sth section of article 6 of the
Constitution, may be assessed for educa
tional purposes.
3. A tax levied on such wholesale
dealers is not void for uncertainty, on
the ground that the law nowhere defines
what constitutes a wholesale dealer.—
That is a fact to be determined like all
other facts, as for instance, whether the
party taxed as a practicing attorney or
owner of certain property, is such at
torney or owner. It may be ascertain
ed in cases arising under the provisions
of section 4 of the Code, by means of
experts in such business, and other
proper evidence. The question t whether
the porson so taxed is a wholesale deal
er canuot be raised on a bill to enjoin a
tax collector from collecting a tax so
assessed.
Judgment reversed.

their day, and wo hoar no more of them. Thoir
proprietors have made fortunos, not so much from
the curative powers and virtuosof (heir mixtures,
us from the notoriety given them by advertising,
by which peopio were made to believe all the

now before tho public, which is becoming very
popular, and is known as Bradfield’s Female

Ga., at $1.60 per bottle. Such is its curative
virtues that it has gained wide-spread populari
ty all over the country ivhcrb it has becu made
known, and it is being introduced everywhere.
We aro informed that immense quantities of this
medicine aro being sold in all sections of the
