Government Land Tax’.'— The follow jpg
comments, from the Athens, Gn., Banner, in re-.
ferenee to the Government land tax are timely
and sensible: . ,
The Direct Tax CoMMisstots.—We see that
the Commissioners tor the collection of the U.
S. Direct Tax, have opened their offices in dif
ferent portions of the State, demanding pay
ment of the tax within sixty days from the date
of the notice, and informing tho peoplo that de
fault of payment will operate as a forfeiture of
Sheir lands.
We are still in hopes that Governor Jenkins
■will be able to induce the Government to allow
the State to assume the collection of this tax
and thus relieve the people at that time from
the pressure of a burthen which very many are
unable to discharge without great sacrifices of
the remnant of their possessions.
There is no indisposition to pay our share
of the heavy taxes which have fallen upon us.
xVe have looked our position steadily In the
face ail'd are aware of the ceaseless toil and en
deavor wJdch the future demands to enable us
to carry ouf part of the load. But we do ask
itliat it be i-o aa.,'fisted that it will not crush us
to the earth. The people are impoverished to
a degree that the prosperous North cannot
comprehend. Poverty sits by the hearth of
many who formerly never knew a want they
could not supply. Afl glioses of the commu
nity have suffered and none »V much ns those
. whose property lies in lands.
Good policy as well as ordinary benevolence
suggest the propriety of so adjusting taxation
that it will not prove seriously oppressive.
The creditor who sells the last blanket of his
■debtor displays neither wisdom nor humanity,
riie hist blanket of many of ns in our land.
-We hove no money nor the means of gutting it.
Jill the capital of all the national banks it? {he
ftfate would not pay n tithe of the direct tax
j MHP called for. Until the crops are harvested
have nothing to sell, and if the pound ot
liesh '• the threatened forfeiture and
sale of *** property is inevitable.
We eai hope that'Gov. Jenkins may
leave no sto uhtnrned to relieve us frpin this
difficulty, and ~tot authoritiea at Washing

Election of County Judge.
' * A
To the hotel's of Richmotld County :
An old citizen—one idcutihed with you in
soeial and political interests, and deeply sympa
thising with you iu th« present, condition of
your country—asks leave of you, fellow-citizens,
to «übmit a few suggestions relative to the ap
proaching election of County Jiidge.
You commit a great error if you look upon
the court over which that ofHeer is to preside
ha merety M the colored person’s court,” in
which you will toyve hut little interest. On the
.contrary* For several years that ofliccr will
perhaps tie the most important judicial ofticer
in the State. Interests which, in the very high
(est 'degree, will concern tlic peace ami welfare
of society will lie committed to his charge, and
the circumstances in which we arc placed de
mand that they should be managed with deli
cacy, integrity and sound judgment. A wide
range of jurisdiction is given ’to this officer by
the act which creates' the county court, and
very considerable sums of money will be placed
more or less under his control. It is due to
yourselves, therefore, that such an officer should
possess not only ability and professional expe
rience, but. that his character should be pure
and his integrity have been tried by previous
responsibility and trust. The field of duty
which lies before him is new, nnd will be diffi
cult. Great temptations will beset him in it.
If, from ignorance and inexperience, he blunder
in this path, or, for want of moral resolution,
he swerve from it, the results to you may be
very unhappy. He is to be placed in a situa
tion where he can do much mischief by failing
propetjy to deal with the subjects of his juris
diction as they affec t the relations between the
two races of our people. It will be more or
less in his power so to influence those relations
as to make them productive of good and useful
results, or he may so deal with them as to pro
duce results greatly to be deprecated, and which
it is very unpleasant to contemplate. Before
his court there will be a numerous class of per
sons against whom or for whom justice may be
easily prostituted—of persons whose interests,
in the present posture of our affairs, should be
managed not only with strict justice, but.with
taet, discrimination nnd skill.
Each race must have even and exact justice,
without partiality or prejudice. Whilst seeing
to it, that he metes out right to the white man,
he must be anxiously on his guard to use the
same measure jn his dealings with the colored
nmii. Aud lie cannot be too solemnly impress
ed with the conviction, that upon the proper,
the judicious, the honest and just administra
tion of our laws, as they have been modified to
suit the changed condition of our society, by
magistrates and juries will depend the answer!
to (be question whether or not military inter- |
ference with, or control over the administration
ofiaw in our State shall lie speedily withdrawn.
I am well advised, and speak knowingly when
I say, that our legislation has given much satis
faction in the proper quarter; and that if our
administration of that legislation he what, it
should he, in all probability it will not be long
before we are restored to the enjoyment of the
Constitution and laws which we so dearly prize.
You must thus perceive, fellow-ejti/.ens, how
important it is that you should bestir your
selves, and see lo It, that the proper person i»
elected to this office; that some gentleman to
chosen of considerable legal experience and
ability, thoroughly acquainted with the people
who are to eonre into his court, above nil sus
picion aa to purity of character and soundness
of judgment, nnd one whose past life shows
him to he capable of holding the balances of
justice with a composed and steady hand. If
you have not such a candidate'before you , plane
one there, oml elect him. •
I would not be understood for a moment as
insinuating that, in my opinion, yogi have not
now sin'll a candidate. On the contrary, I be
lieve you have. Bui 1 desire to impress upon you
the itnmonsc importance of not overlooking the
election, and of seeing that such a person is
placed in tlie office. An Old Citizen.
A fallen General.
The North American fire insurance bam.
panv notifies the public, in the Hartford Times,
that Gcu, 11. C. Ward. :dismiaaed from tticti
service, and warns the public from trusting him ■
on their account. Tin Times, referring to it,
says:
Gen. Henry Ward, so well and favorably
know in this eily, and who had won the esteem
of all who knew hint, lias suddenly fallen. Four
years since he enlisted as a soldier in the ranks
of the 25th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers,
and a few months since returned, after four
years’ service, holding a General’s commission.
It is but a lew days back that his name appear
ed as one of the distinguished soldiers who had
been confirmed by the Senate in the. rank of
brevet Brigadier General.
Having retired to civil life, lie was, in De
cember last, recommended to the insurance
company for appointment as a general agent.—
He was so appointed, and the company was eon
gratulated on the success of their board in. se
curing so promising u representative. A few
weeks since, he was married to one of our in
teresting and estimable young Indies. On the
2titb tilt., lie left with his yonvig wife for the
West on a business tour for tlie company, and
while at the “Weddell House,’’.Cleveland, Ohio,
was arrested for alleged forgery committed in
1801. He was arrested at the instigation of Mr
James Horner, of Minnesota, who filed an affi
davit, setting forth the following statements :
On or about the first day of September, 1861, a
man giving liis name ns Wm. A. LeCroix, pre
sented a cheek for payment at the counting
room of Messrs. Temple & Beaupre, in St. Paul,
and dated fit. Peter, Minn., September 1, 1861.
The cheek called for was 1550 in gold, which
was paid.
It was afterward discovered to he a forged
paper, and all efforts to discover the where
abouts of LeCroix proved unavailing. Mr.
Horner, however, recognized in Gen. Ward the
forger, and entered proceedings against him as
stated. Confident as was his friends that it was
a case of mistaken Identity, bail was given in
the sum of ¥1,590, and he returned to the city
with the proposed intention of returning to
Cleveland on Wednesday last, with facilities to
disprove the charge. Hs left here on Monday
last, for the alleged purpose Qf returning toCleve
land in company with a member of the home
of Spofford, Tileston & Co., New York, with
whom he claimed to have been associated for
several years prior to his enlistment in the 25th
regiment. IJe alleged to his friends he should
prove that he was iij Liverpool, as the corres
pondent of that house at the time of the forge
ry, and thus prove an alibi. But he has failed to
appear at Cleveland, at the time appointed, and
now it turns put that the house of Spofford,
Tileston A Co., aforesaid never knew him. He
has forfeited his bonds, deceived his friends,
and, sadder titan all else, lias crushed a young
heart so recently confided to his care and affec
tion. She will have the sympathy of this com
munity.
Previous to his departure it was suggested to
him that, as some inquiry might, be made con
cerning his history prior to • his appearance
bent jn 18G2, it would be well for him to furnish
some intubation, putting it in such a shape
that it could be u&cd He readily responded by
writing the following:
“Hartford, Conn., March 9.1866.
“In accordance with your wish, I submit
herewith <>;y following memoranda concerning
myself:
“Being left an orphan in 1832—at two years
of ago—l was placed under the guardian
ship of Mr. Hiram Brooks, of Jamaica, Long

“At eighteen years of age I entered the Uni
ted States marine corps and served there three
years.
“At twenty-one I entered tiie employment of
Spofford, Tileston A Co., No. 29 Broadway,
New York, and in 1856 was transferred to the
house of the Liverpool correspondent of that
firm —James Grimshaw A Co., No. 2 Gorcl

returned home and entered the 25th Connecti

is known t. 9 you.

REMAMkS OF EAKp GBfV TO THE HOUSE OF
• • r LORDS.
In the British House of Lords, on Friday,
March 19th, Eartftrey, iu moving a resolution
. that t.£e House go into a Committee of the
Wholg on the condition of Ireland, made a long
and interesting speech, of which the following
is the substance:
He said he would ask the House to declare by
vote that evening that the situation of Ireland
was such as to require immediate consideration,
with a view to remefly. There was a general
concurrence of opinion, that Ireland-was iti an
unsatisfactory state, yet it was generally agreed
that their condition was better than it was a tew
years ago, but still tlieir condition was not a
very desirable one. Employment, except in a
small portion of the year, was uncertain and
badly paid. Their houses, if houses they could
he called, were scarcely fit for habitation by civ
ilized beings. There were few large farms ;
the land was itnskillfully cultivated,and as a con
sequence, both fartners and laborers were poor.
Manufacturers, except in a lew fnvbred spots,
did not exist at all, and trade was on a very
small scale indeed. The population, which in a
wholesome state of society should be inrreas
ing, is undergoing a diminution, by reasnu of
emigration, at an alarming rate. He could not.
see without concern this rapid depopulation.—
Unfortunatelyjreland continued to be distract
ed by religious animosity. Class was divided
against class, and a deep feeling of alienation
prevails from the Imperial Government. So
bitter is the animosity against the British Gov
ernment, that even those who find a home on
the other side of the Atlantic manifest that
feeling still more strongly.
All knew that very large sums were collected
in America, which have formed the main sup- •
port of the Fenian conspiracy. It was no slight
thing that the Irish people should lie found
doing so much to create a feeling of animosit v
between England and America. With reference
to the Fenian conspiracy, there never was a
plot more wild and utterly hopeless ; yet even
that plot commanded the* support of a large
class of the working population. This served
to prove that the ground must have been pre
pared for the Fenian agents. It was said that
but very few persons who had anything to lose
took part in the .movement; he trusted it was
so. There was another fact. The prevailinv
disaffection in Ireland was not the result of dis
tress, which had been the case in previous
periods of political discontent. The feeling <•;
insecurity which now existed in Ireland pre
vented the influx ol capital; agricultural im
provements could not progress or industrial
undertakings he established. He believed it h>
generally admitted that the evils of Ireland
were traceable to misgovernment. Many
thought it was not.'tlirough the government of
the present day. lie agreed with his noble
friend, Lord Clifford, that Parliament had
passed many useful measures in respect to Ire
land ; lie also agreed that some of the evils of
Ireland were so inveterate that they could not
suddenly be eradicated; but, before they should
rest satisfied, they should see that there war
really a beginning of real progress. He would
call attention to bow much time had elapsed
since (be various measures alluded to were
passed t thirty-seven years had elapsed since
the lasi penal code was abolished by the aet •.1
Catholic emancipation, passed 180 M.
j About nineteen years ago the Encumbered
| Estates aet was established, and the poor tow
improved, and he was not aware that any meas
ure of importance for the improvement of the
condition of Ireland had been passed since
then. With regard to fiscal injustice, it seemed,
after most careftil inquiry, that England had not
only been just, but generous to Ireland; that
Ireland, instead of paying her fair share to the
Imperial Government, pays less ; and he would
challenge any Irishman to point out a single
tax, now levied, the tendency of which is to
discourage industry or chock the progress of
improvement in Ireland. The condition of
small occupiers in Ireland would compare to
vorahly with occupiers holding similar land in
France or Germany. With regard to public
works, this complaint was founded on a misap
prehension of the proper functions of the Gov
ernment. It has been by private enterprise
that pie magnificent public works have been
erected in England and Scotland. Great fan 1 1
had been found with the Government for not
passing measures in regard to what is com
monly called tenant-right. But some of the
measures proposed, upon examination, it had
been found they would aggravate rather than
alleviate the evil complained 01. lie was p< r
suaded that the only sound policy to pursue
was to allow landlord and tenant to settle their
own relations among themselves, with as little
legislative interference as possible. There
were faults In the low regarding lanlord and
tenant, but they must remember that, substan
tially, the Same law existed iu England. [Hear,
hear.j
He was convinced that the evils arise Je s
from the law itself than from the extreme com
petition for land, arising from the htnguatiou of
utl industrial operations, and which enables the
landlord to let his land at extravagant term..
But there was something seriously wrong at the
root of the matter. He alluded to the fact, that
the whole church property in Ireland is applied
to the, exclusive maintenance of the established
church, while the church of rite great inajoritv
of the people was left without any State provi
sion. lie thought a plain statement of the facts
was all that was necessary to show the injustice
of the system. He need hardly remind them
that the church property in Ireland formerly
belonged to the Roman Catholic church, lnit
when the people of England shook off' the con
nection with Rome, though the people of In
land adhered to their ancient religion, the
church property in that country was trans
ferred to the cletgy of the conquering nation,
and the church ot the majority of the people
was left without any endowment whatever. To
render the injustice more clear, the Presby
terians, who were also dissenters from the es
tablished church, were assisted by Parliament,
while the Roman Catholics were rendered no
assistance whatever. On principles of justice it
was impossible to defend such a state ot things
It was not merely the injustice of the arrange
ment that was left, but the manner in which,
for many years, it has been defended.
The Earl spoke at great length on this point,
and concluded this part of his argument as fol
lows : “I-liave said enough to show what a feel
jng of injustice rankles in the minds of a large
portion of the people of Ireland, which ought
speedily to be removed. II you mean to im
prove the condition of that country you must
satisfy the minds of the people that vou intend
to deal justly with them upon this great ques
tion, and if you consent to do full and equal
justice, I am persuaded that they wil) accept
your good intentions in a corresponding spirit,
though it may be much more difficult to come
to a satisfactory arrangement now than- it would
have been twenty-five or thirty years ago.—
Still, if you look the difficulty fully in the face,
I believe it may be surmounted. After the ar
guments I have adduced, it may be said that 1
ought to procure some practical remedy,with a
view of pointing out how I think this Question
should he dealt with by the Imperial Govern
ment, and, with great diffidence, I will venture
to do so ; I think, however, that in nnv changes
that may tie made, we are bound to pay respect
to all existing interests. I would not deprive
any individual of that to which lie is at prent
entitled, but I cannot respect the rights of cor-,
porationsas I would those of individuals. There
fore, I think there must be a great diminution
in the income now derived from Ireland by the
Protestant Church in that country. I think the
whole property of the church in Ireland ought
to be invested in the hands of commissioners
who should be empowered to pay a certain pro
portion to the Protestant Episcopal Church,
another portion to tjie Roman Catholics, and
another to the Presbyterians, iu such propor
tions as each may seem entitled to.”
The speaker then offered a series of resolu
tions for the amelioration of the condition of
Ireland, and resumed his seat, after a speeHt of
two hours and a half duration.
A Congressional Kissing Match.—The
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Times gives the following choice tit-bit, illus
trating the peculiar morality of Congressmen :
That Congressional Kissing Match.—l
see published in the Times , of a recent date,
an extract from the anonymous correspondent
of some newspaper to the following effect:
“ Two legislators from the Mississippi Valley
had a row last night. No. 1 took his wife to
the opera, where he left her in charge of No. 2,
and went to his room at a hotel. After the
performance No. 2 escorted the lady home, and
at the door imprinted a platonic kiss upon her
lips. Just then No. 1 appeared, and a scene
ensued, which should be followed up by a duel
in accordance with the code.”
The above is true, but it strikes me as rather
vague. Perhaps the writer of it felt a little
delicacy is publishing names in such a connec
tion, bnt I take it, from the publicity the matter
lias received here, that the principal actors in
the affair have gone to no particular pains to
hush it up, and therefore I can see no harm in
naming at least one of the ‘‘legislators ” above
referred to. I would name the other nlso, but
for tlie fact that to do so would be to “ involve ’’
tlie lady: “ No. 2 ” is no other than Henry T.
Blow, vs Missouri, the very Adonis of Congress,
No. 1 is from Kentucky, and an ex-general’
who, however,-never did any fighting worlh
mentioning. The matter referred to 'aotunlly
assumed a serious aspect at one time so se
rious that Postmaster Foy, of St. I.ouis, was
appMed to for the loan of hiis pistol by a friend
of one of the parties. As I understand it, tl e
occurrence jyas in this wise: No. 1 and wife
weat tv the opera, * here they met No. 2 all
“ blooming' alww.” No. i, not hay mg much
music In his soul, nor being easily moved by
concord of sweet sounds, went home early,
leaving his lady in charge “of No. 2.” No. 2
escorted the lady home, and, just as he was
about to say “ good night,” the devil tempted
him to flay “my dear ” apd a kiss at tlie end of
it. He was suddenly apprised, i»y a hand at his
throat, i hat the labial explosion had been heard
by ears for which it was not intended. The
wonder is there was no shooting or stabbing
then and there. There was, however, some
correspondence of a very serions nature the
next day, which has unhappily ended in no one
being shot.
The commission consisting of Oapt. Shorey
and Lieut. Zeigler, who visited this district
some weeks since to inquire as to the truth of
certain reports, have visited Nefv berry District.
The Herald states that Captain Shorey was of
the opinion that the charges against that dis
trict referred Ui the close of the past year ; that
now matters were improving, lie also express
ed the opinion that there was up overplus of
negro labor In that district and believed, if the
idie and loitering could he taken away, it would
prove a mutual good. The commission then
returned to Columbia to make their report,
which cannot but be looked for with interest Doth
by tlie citizens of Laurens and Newberry;
though aa t£» this district, the charges were, as
regards their present existence, or even for the
present year, entirely refuted.

Pay of Judges, Solicitous, &c., fok 1865.
A week or two ago we published a notice from
the State Treasurer that the Governor was now
ready to pay the salaries of judges, solicitors
and other State officers for the political year
1865. The political year 1805 commenced the
Ist of November, 1864, and ended the Ist of
November, 1865. But there is one thing these
oftieevs had better keep in view, viz:
The ljJth paragraph of the 89th sectiou of tlie
('ode provides that, the State Treasurer “ shall
not pay #uy appropriation Sue and not called
for within six months after, the expiration of
the polical year, for which il is appropriated,
but it reverts to ttie general fund in the Trea
sury."
The six months after the political year 1865
expires on the Ist of May. Persons, therefore,
having salary due them for the political year
1665, had better draw the same before that time,
else it will “revert to thotjenera! fund In the
Treasury,” and cannot be drawn out except by
a new appropriation by the Legislature.

never looked more promising. We have taken
some rides into tlie country, and from personal
observation, predict the liest crop of wheat this

help the farmers amazingly. The} are compell
ed to buy a great many things this summer, and
those who did not have cotton, in particular,
are needing a thousand things which tlie w>r
deprived them of. A few bushels of wheat
thrown on tlie market will help them along till

Total Loss of the Schoonek Lilian- as o
Cargo.—From Mr. L. B. Amerman, purser of
the steamer H. M. Cool, which arrived here
from Darien, On., last evening, we learn that
the schooner Lilian, C’apt. J.' L. Swnzey, of
Ftueksport, Me., hound to Jacksonville from
New York, went ashore on the night of March
27t.h on Dohoy Sound Breaker, and became a
total wreck.
A raft was constructed and all on board took
the sdhooncr rapidly breaking up. After
drifting about for six hours the raft went ashore
on Wolf Island at six o’clock on the mornin' r
of the 28tb.
The wrecked party here hoisted a signal,
which was finally observed, and all hands were
safely rescued from their uncomfortable situa
tion through Hie gallant exertions of Henry
Patterson, pilot at Dohoy.
The Lilian was loaded with ice, and there was
no insurance on vessel or cargo. The captain
and crew lost all their effects. Capt. Swazey

The Mobile Tribune says : We learn that an

that they are to take the places now occupied
by the negro regiments soon to he mustered
out of service.
An inquest was held Friday upon the bodv of
Charles Devan, a member of the 157th New

A man named Jourdan and one Robt. Brown
had a difficulty on board a boat in Bon Secour

stabbed several times, fell overboard, and was
supposed to have been drowned.
The Mobile Advertiser denies the report that
there has been a ease ot cholera in that city.—
The report started from the Mobile Tribune.

pair ot items :
Some of our business concerns are giviDg up
and leaving Mobile. They are new concerns, to
be sure, hut still we hate to have any one leave
Mobile—rather iet people come and build up
the town and contribute to its enterprise and
prosperity.
No one would imagine that money was scarce
at or around Mobile, if they were to see how
plenty it is and how loosely it is haudied at the
Magnolia Race Course. It is like so many rags
or “chips.” Games are very successful, “faro
banks,” “roulette tables,” “sweat cloths,” &c.,
which usually sweat outsiders. Strange people

Axother Steamboat Disaster. The

known as the “Brickyard,” ten miles from

Through the noble exertions of Capt. McNel

happened to be within a short distance of the

There was no confusion on board the Croton

The Anniversary of Gen. Lee's Surrender.
The spirit and suggestions of the following
communication from the Columbus (Ga.) En
quirer will meet with a warm response from
every true Southern heart:
“ W hen the immortal Lee surrendered that
sword, which had flashed defiance over so iii.uiv
victorious battle fields, to (he victor, a nation’
Lopes were entombed. Men, who with God
like fidelity had perilled all, and suffered all
that human endurance is capable of,- stood in
to witness the last net of the great tragedy in
which they had played a conspicuous part for
four long, eventful years. Those who had
never felt one throb of fear -who had never
knelt at inaii’s behest—threw down their arnr
and proudly wept in the face ol their eonquei
ors; wept not for w hat they bail done, but for
wliat they had lost; and those tears are the
strongest evidence that they were worthy of the
renown their prowess in arms had won'them.
The triumphant chieftain, to his eternal honor
he if said, declined to accept, the sword ot hi
illustrious adversary ; he knew ton well wh d
it had cost him to win it, and he could ooiitc,,i
himself with the greater glory of refusing i:.
This was a touching and sublime close to the
great drama, and will challenge the ailiniralion
of the world through all time.
lftlie assembled host of the eternal world
ever pause to take eognizanee of the transac
tions of men, surely that was an hour in which
the rustling of their wings might have been
heard, as they poised themselves on the verre
of time and eternity, to gazeonyihc scene. The
people who had struggled to secure for them
selves a separate nationality, here buried then
hopes, and yielded to those who were conquer
ors of the bravft. Many who had commence.!
the struggle, heard not the wail of t heir van
quished comrades. They had perished whet e
the brave Jove to die—at the post of duty—and
in many a neglected, unmarked spot sleep their
remains.
It is proposed to set apart, one day in th ■
year, to tie consecrated as a day in which the
women of the South will dedicate some floral
offering to the graves of our lamented soldier,-.
Let their graves lie sought out in every valley,
on every hillside and mountain top, by the
shores of the ocean, and the great gull', and
marked ns holy ground, where the passev-hv
may tread lightly in deference to the memory
of those whose remains rest beneath. Let that
day be the one most memorable, in American
history—the 9th of April, the day of Lee’s sur
