A Baianm Optiook.—A Now York tettor
to the News and Courier says, January goes
out wiUi a tompoiaturo as mild almost as aDy
day in April, and with Uio incoming of Feb
ruary merchants iu tho leading lines of busi
ness are eagerly scanning tbo oommorcial
horitnn to diaoover some signs of the
spring irsdo. It is a long while since so
hopeful a feeling predominated among them,
based upon the improvod condition of tbo
country, Uio snccoss of apecio resumption
and tho abnndancocf capital which must
soon be soaking active employment, and as
tho season advinoot, tboro lie no reason why
tbo prevailing expectations of a satisfactory
business all arounl should not bo realized.
At all events, this is tho prevailing sentiment
in mercantile cireloe for tbo momont, and
it may beplaood on record in contrast with
the general disposition to croak and Ito tako
dismal viows of tbo future, with which, it will
be remotnborod, February a year ago was
ushered in.'

The publio interest in tho thoft of tho Stew
art remains is revived by tbo announcement
that Judge Hilton baa received an anonymous
communication, enclosing a picoo of paper
corresponding exactly with tbo shapo of a
portion of tho pall covering tho coffin, which
the thieves htd torn off. This wonldgoto
show pretty conclusively that tbo writer or
writer* of the communication, whoever they
are, must have had someUiing to do with tbo
robbery. They InUmato that thoy are ready
to open negotiations for the return of the
remains whenever Jndgo llilton is ready
The latter waa interrogated on tho subject
this afternoon by at least half a dozen news
paper reporters, but he declined to talk.
The detectives at polios headquarters appear
to attach much Importance to tbia new de
velopment, and doubt not that at last they
have a ‘clue.'
—Speaker Andrews, of the.Wyoming As
sembly, a Democrat, toatifles that ha went

now he must admit that tbo more he his
seen of tho workings of tho system the less
hisobjertiona jbive been realized and the
more it has oommendod itself to hie judg
ment and good opinion. ‘I am thoroughly
convinced,’he says, 'that It is the only tine,
consistent and honest mothod of exercising

tive form of .'government.' Laramie City,
with a population of 2,600, cast about 1,200

A Guano Strike.
Yesterday, at a South Carolina State
Grange meeting in Charleston, what w.-u
intended as joint resolutions at the State
Granges of Scuth Carolina and Georgia.
were brought forward refusing to pay
more than four hundred pounds of lint
cotton to tho ton of tuperphoepiute.
Thu is in answer to tho guano dealers,
who havo combined in a demand for five
hundred pounds. Of course, if tbo par
ties hold to their respective positions
there can bo no trade. This Is all right.
Both parties should bo tho final judgo
of what it is best for them to do.
Tho lour hundred pound proposition
wasthe offspring of a time when cotton
ranged from ton to twelve cents, and was
equivalent to a price of forty or fifty do!
lars per too. Now that cotton is worth
about eight cents, it Is equal to about
thirty-two dollars per ton.
The guano men beet know what they
can afford to sell it for, and it is evi
dently to their interest to continue tho
traffic if they can eave themselves in it.
To suspend the manufacture leaves their
heavy outlay in machinery and materials
unproductive, disorganizes their opera
tive forces, and soriously endangers the
loss of their entire investment. Of
coarse, then, the manufacturers and
dealers in fertilizers are going to omit no
effort to continue their trado on a living
basis if they can do so.
Tho samo motives of self-interest wilt
govern tho farmers. They will buy or
refuse to buy—not to obligoor tospito tho
gnano men—bnt lo benofit themselves.
If Congress, in tho session of 1848. had
passed an act reducing a ton’s woight
from twenty to twelve hundred pounds,
tho farmers would have been indignant
had the guano dealers insisted on four
hundred weight of cotton lint for twelvo
hundred pounds of super-phosphate. Tho
shrinkage in tho money valao of cotton
lint works in tho same way on the other
■ido.
It strikes ns there is little spaco for
serious misunderstanding in the premises
Doubtless tho gnano dealers wonld be
glad to name a specific money price, even
below rates hitherto prevailing, which
they would receive in liquidation of guano
claims, oithcr in cotton or money; and
this, in fact, is tho business-like way of
dealing. Tho othor is, in its essence,
bet on cotton prices—dealing in futures—
a proceeding in which the guano men
claim to have bosat badly worsted.
Tba planters are entitled to buy at tho
lowest market price, and in order to be
able to sell at that price, tho manufac
turers must be content with small profits,
which cannot boar tbo hazzard of spec
ulation, It seems to ns It should bo
oasy for tho parties to corns to an under-
standing on a fair basis, and that tho
standpoint of ndvantago is on tho sido of
tho farmer. Tho farmer can do without
I ho guano—but tho manufacturer cannot
do without sales.
An Irish .Potato Artlcio.
Tbo season for patting In this delicious
vagotablo and important orop is npon ns,
and a few practical suggestions based
upon long porsonal experience may not
be ontjof ptsco. Every householder, oven
in n crowded city, if bo Iioh bnt a solitary
garden “square,” should stock it with
this wholesome edible.
Imprimis, spread broadcast, if you bnve
it, well rotted manure or cotton eood and
spade up or plow the soil afterwards
thoroughly. Then, with stake and line,
lay off the rows two and a half feet apart
and dig trenches about ten inches in
doptli to recoivo tho potato oultings. In
tbo bottom of thcao trenches run one or
two furrows with a subsoil plow, or if tho
patch bo small spade deeply without
turning up tho earth. This will bo
oqnivalont to loosening tho soil to tho
dopth of noar a foot under tho potato,
and will onnblo tho plant to withstand
tho droughts of summer much hotter.
Now drop tho cuttings, thooyes upper
most, at intervals of ton inches and scat
ter stable manure. If rough and nnrolted
tho hotter, thickly in tho trcncho9. fin
ighing off with a plentiful application of
snperph09phate, say at tbo rate of 250
pounds per acre. In covering tho
trenches with soil raise a slight ridgo to
turn the water, which should bo rakod al
most lovel about tho timo tho tnbera ap
pear abovo ground.
Tho after cultivation should bo peri
foctly flat so as to permit tho earth to im
bibo and retain moisture wnieh is highly
essential to a fall orop. Indeed, tho
greatest enemy to be apprehended is an
oarly drought in tho spring which kills
tho vinos prematurely, beforo tbo
tnbersaro perhaps more than half grown.
When mulching is resorted to it 6hould
never Le done until tho cold
weather is undoubtedly over, as frost
will form on straw or leaves used for that
purpose, and nip tho potato plants just
whore they emerge from tho covering,
when they would otherwise have escaped.
Oar experience is, if tho potatoes get
killed down when six inches or more
in height, it is in vain to expeot any
thing liko a good yield from them af
terwards. Tho mulching should always
succeed a heavy rain when the ground is
thoroughly wet.
After tho plants are up should a cold
change bo experienced simply cover them
with earth. This con bo done withont
the least injury and thoy will themselvos
como forth again in the coarse of two
or threo days.
It a second crop is desired, simply when
using tho potatoes, restore to the hill the
smaller tubers, and thoy will come up
and make a good stand in Angnst, and
can afterwards be cultivated as usual.
The above directions duly followed, will
seldom fail to produce an abundant crop
of potatoes.

Tne telegrams to-day disolose the re
sult or certain preoantionary maasares
adopted by the British Governmsnt
against infection from diseased American
osttle. A cargo being slaughtered on
landing, a number of cissa of pleuro
pneumonia were detected by post mortem
examination, and it appaars probable
that a eimilar course will be taken with

Tlio License Tax.
Tbit the present amount assessed npon
every one who does business in
oar dly Is oncroas in ihe extreme, ad
mits of co question. And tbe burden is
felt the more, because resident capitalists
who handle large sums of money and are
infinitely better abla to help tbe city, con
tribute nothing—in fact, cannot bo
reached, btill, tbe position that there
should be no license tax is utterly unten
able. Those who live among ns, and,
with tho aid of the city government, carry
on a lucrative business, ought to be wil
ling to contribute something for the priv
ilege, as thoy are more immediately in
terested than the mere resident. More
over, every city and incorporated village
ia the Bute impasos those licences, and
their authority to do so has cover been
doubted. In some inatanoes, notably for
liqnor and show licenses, wo have known
tbe tax imposed to bs so high as to be al
most prohibitory. Tho authorities claim,
with some show of reason, that under the
operation of tbe Jewett Aet they are estop
ped from raising sufficient means
to liquidate tho maturing obligations of
tbe corporation and meet current expell
ees even at their minimum figure. Teat
withont this increase of the license tax
the wheels of the mnnicipal government
moat stand still. If this bo tho case, two
alternatives alono remain to the overbur-
denod tax-payers. First, to follow tho
example of Savannah and Columbus, and
compromise their city debt, or, second,
petition for tho repeal of the Jewett Bill,
and raiso tho rate of taxation for a given
term of years until tho outstanding and
maturing liabilities are met and cancelled,
with tho poeitivo proviso that at the ex
piration of tho period named tho rato of
taxation Bhall be reduced again to one
percent. This amount is ample for all
tho ordinary expenses of tho city and
ehonld not bo incroasod.
Of tho two alternatives we greatly pre
fer tho latter, bocauso opposed even to
tho ghost of repudiation. It wonld also
to a great extent abate this excessive
license tax, which just now is altogether
unsatisfactory and unequal in its opera
tion. Finally, a fair ad valorem tax is tho
only just and equitable method of raising
revenue. Let every man bo made to pay
moderately for tho protection of his tangi
ble property. Wo cannot exist withont
tho machinery of government to regulate
morals, punish crime and gaard tbo rights
of tho citizen. The additional tax npon
business pursuits and professions should
be fixed at the lowest possible rnto, but is
certainly just and proper.

Plain Faerxr.
Yesterday wo looked npon a picture—a
scene from tho hand of one of tho oldest
and most accomplished of-‘tho old mas
ters.” Like tho works of Rapbxl and
Angelo, his works all have a point
of resemblance, or “mannerism,"
technical language. They are
figure pieces — kings, philosophers,
poets, peasants, panpors—every phaso
of human life has occupied the
genius of hu pencil. Palaces and hovels
alike have formed the back-ground for
his wonderful portrayals. “Tho dying
mother.” leaving as a legacy to her
loved ones her new bora Labe, ia one of
hia most pathetic '‘pieces.” Tha same
of this artist >s Disease. Scarcely a homo
in ell this land that baa not one of his
pictures hanging in some of its rooms,
invisible to tbe stranger perhaps, bnt to
its inmates as distinct as if painted bnt
yesterday. He has a dreaded assistant
to whom he often confides the “finishing”
of bis pictures—Death. If yon would
prevent Disease from placing one of hia
fatal “shadow pictures” in yonr home,
yon mast take tho requisite precautions
to prevent his entrance. At the first
signs of his approach—general debility,
sleeplessness or habitual drowsiness, loss
of appetite, impaired appetite, constipa
tion, unusual pallor, cough, night sweats,
headache, or nausea—measures for relief
should be promptly taken. The system
ehonld be cleansed and strengthened by
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, which
are acknowledged to ta tbe best altera-
lirr. or Llood-rleauring, and cathartic
remedies ever before the public. Besides,
they regulate tha whole system and im
part to it a healthful, vigorous tone.

What is Said Abeoad op ocn Munici

temporary injunction granted by Judge
Speer to thoeo who are fighting tbe li
cense tax, tbe Chronicle and Constitution
alist says:
If wo understand the matter, all of
the cities of the State have an interest in
this litigation. Every one of them lev-
ies heavy license taxes upon business,
and if the courts decide that mnnicipal
taxation must not follow State taxation a
large revenue will havo to be given np.
It ia stated that if the complainants suc
ceed in getting a permanent injunction
they will then ask that a receiver be ap
pointed to take charge of tho income and

last movement is not given.

and well dnriDg the past year, and com
mended them for their labors in the good
canse. The Bishop Elliott Society, be
sides contributing handsomely to tbe far-
nitnro and decorations of the altar, had
disbursed $363, distributed over five hun
dred garments and paid more than ono
thousand visits. The fiuanoes of the

A Dastaudly Chime.—Savannah Maes
A murder of unusaal atrocity was com
mitted on Saturday night at Pinkey
Honso plantation, Bryan Neck, owned by
the estate of Georgo P. Screven, which
oreated great excitement in tho neighbor
hood. Wo learn from a reliable sonree
tho following particulars of the orime,
and the arrest of tho negroes through tho
energetic and eourngoous efforts of Cou-
ht .bbj Zittreuer:
A party of five negroes—Abram Neil,
Raymond Haymond Hargraves, Watt
Jackson, Ben Banyan and Barraok Hons
ton—who had been at the store of Miller
& Brady daring tho afternoon, woro on
their way to tho plantation where they
were working when Abram Noil fired
threo shots over tho head of Barraok
Honston, apparently with tho view of in
timidating him, as thcro had boen a diffi-
catty between them soma timo previons.
Honston inquired of Neil what he mount
by snob rcokles3 conduct, when tho latter
replied in effect “I intend to kill you to
night.'' Notwithstanding this throat,
wonld seem that no farther demonstra
tion was mado-by Neil at the time, nnd
tho plantation was reached without far
ther difficulty.
About midnight the overseer of the
plantation, Mr. Patterson, and tbo clerk
in tho store, Mr. Bacon, were aroused by
Ben Banyan, who asked for some matches
stating that Barrack Houston was lying
near the houso in a dying condition. An
examination was at oneo made, when
Houston was found lying on tho ground
mangled and dead.
An inquest was held on Sunday, when
Banyan who it appears witnessed tho diffi
calty, testified that Abram Neil shot
Houston, and Watts and Jackson heal
tho unfortunate man with tho barrel of
his own gun. After this brutal assault
tho lifeless body was carriod about fifty
yards from tho sccno of tho attack, where
tbo fiundd not satisfied with their bloody
work, beat tho body again witii guns and
sticks and then fled.
A warrant wa3 issued for tho arrest of
tlio murderers and placed in tho hads of
Mr. Benjamin A. Zittreuer, constable
who at no littlo risk, succeeded in cap
turing them. Abram Noil drew a pistol
and endeavored to shoot tho ofiicor, bnt
was seized and quickly disarmed, and
Jackson attempted to escape, bnt fortnn-
ately failed in this effort, and tho mur
derers are now in safe custody.
Coin no South.—The News says :
party of sixteen persons from Plainfield
New Jersey, have purchased a large
traot of land, about five thousand acres,
in Ware county, this State, and have de
termined to ECttlo there. Wo read that
they brought with them a supply of stock,
wagons, tools, seed, fruit trees and pro
visions, and their purpoBo is to divido
their land in small fatms, which they
will cultivate.
The reasons given by the leader of this
party for their change of residenco are
that tho times were exceedingly hard in
NewJerBey; that business was at a stand
ftill; that tho laboring classfound it hard
to get along, especially if their property
was at all encumbered with mortgages,
and many were so encumbered. Besides
all this the rigorous climate there makes
it more difficult for a man to make a liv-
Ho believes, therefore, that if ho
can makea favorable report to tho people
of Plainfield abont tho condition of affsirs
in Georgia, one hnndred families will
move out next spring,
It gives ti3 pleasure to chronicle the
above. There is room enough in Georgia
for half of New Jersey, and as farmers
and horticulturists tho pooplo of the
“Jarsiea” can't bo excelled.
Accident.—Mr. Eebarer, of Savannah,
was run over in his buggy by a carnage
in Lovers’ Lane, near Savannah, and
severely if not mortally hurt. Ono of tho

who was nndor tho influence of liqnor,
clambered up to the driver’s seat, took
tho reins from him, and whipped tho
horses into a ran. Tho matter will prob
ably bo investigated.

A Climax at the Bottom.—Recorder:
A good ono ia reported to us as happen
ing in a Hancock street store last Satur
day. A man had just bought one pound
of butter for twenty-five cents, and, it is
supposed, by way or apology for trading
in so small a quantity, remarked to the
merchant, “we make enough butter to
do us about fire days, bnt hare to buy a
pound to carry us through the week."
A neighbor of thia butter-buying man,
tbo’ intent on on interesting plough in
vention, overheard tho above conversa
tion, and put in his say as follower “Now,
Tom, you don't make any batter—yon
ain’t got a churn nor a jar, nor nothing
else to make it in; and you ain’t got no
cow, nor any money to buy milk—in
short you lie.’’

the snakes in that country, which are
discovered, are headed in the direction

Repealing City Charters,
Columbus Times.1
The effort to avoid financial embarrass
ments of incorporated oities is now be-
ooming so common aB to make it a sub
ject of seriouB general oonceru. The
charter of Memphis has already been re
pealed ; one branoh of tho Lsgislature of
Alabama has passed a bill ti repeal the
oharter of Mobile ; the city of Galves
ton is asking the same kind of relief at
tbe hands of the Legislature of Texas;
sad one of the oldest counties of Arkan
sas has applied to the Legislature of that
State to abolish it ns a oonnty aDd annex
its territory to adjoining counties. Wo
believo that Vioksbmg and one or two
other of the Mississippi eities contem
plate making similar applications, bnt tho
widespread belief that relief from thu fi
nancial troubles of ccrporations can be
obtained in this way is amply shown by
the above oases.
Wo do not believe that this schemo
will work satisfactorily. It may delay
payment and lesson taxation for a time,
but it does not wipe out tho debt, and
tho general tenor of high legal deaisions
of late years is against the sanction of
any devices by incorporated municipali
ties to repudiate or avoid tbe payment of
thoir debts. Possibly they might have
obtained the relief sought, whilo tbe bank
rupt law was in force, by uvailing Ilium
selves of its provisions. But in that
case they would, liko bankrupts, have
had to surrender thoir effects, and that
they would much disliko to do. They
wish to break or dissolve fnll-banded.
Tho fact, howover, that if their claims
had been against individuals instead of
cities, they would have been compelled
to submit to tho large scaling of bank
ruptcy settlements, ought- to be consid
ered by the bondholders of tho cities
when fair offers of compromise are made
to thorn.
We see that a proceeding for tho ap
pointment of a reoeivor for the oitv of
Memphis hai boon filed in tho United
States Ciroait Conrt. In this way Iho
pooplu of tho oity may bo made to regrot
tho step which thoy took in asking a re
peal of its charter. If tho conrt asbumon
jurisdiction, nnd nmlertakcs to protcot
llio boldboldors, may it not order a sale
of oity property, whioh would bo disposed
of nt a great saenfico, satisfying but a
email portiou of tho bonded debt and
leaving the balance still binding ?

Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to tbe top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant
The patient complains of weariness
and debility ; he is easily startled, his
feet arc cold or burning, and lie com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; liis spirits are low; anil although
he is satisfied that exercise would lie
beneficial to him, yet lie can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it,
In fact, he distrusts every remedy
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, arc productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un-
equaled.
BEWAltE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
The genuine McLanf.’s Liver Pills
hear the signatures of C. McLane and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr-
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
