Till' Miilr of (ho Mild Lunils lor Tavr* potiwnll. TUo wliolo country will rejoice that the Comptroller General ha-s ordartx! the postponement for thirty days longer, of the sale of the real probi ty which is in default of taxes. It is to bo hoped that the owners will now heed the warning in season, and come forward and save their pos sessions, by the payment of all dues, ere it bo too late, JJut in any event it will be most unwise to push the sale of theso lands in tho present do iiressed condition of financial affairs, f persisted in, the State will rue the stop hereafter, in tho permanent re duction of her revenues. A laud agent of much cxi>orionce and information, estimates that the wildlands will not sell higher thnn from #li) to #SO per lot of 490 acres. And mark the result. These prices will Jim the basis in future for all sub sequent returns. If A has paid taxes upon pine laud adjoining the possessions of li, at #2 no per acre, and the property of the latter, though not a whit the loss valuable, is dis posed of at government sale for only ten cents per acre, then next year, A will adopt the same standard in as sessing the value ot his lands for the | tax receiver, and that official will be forced to admit the justice of the re turn, as predicated upon actual mar ket rates. And moreover, the same estimates will be apt to obtain uni versally throughout the State for lands of similar grade. It is thus easy to see that witli a largely decreased schedule of taxable values caused by this short-sighted policy, either dlminisla'ii revenue, or a higher rate of tuxes must tie tho con sequence. But for tHo latter the peo ple are not prepared, nor will they acquiesce in the justice or propriety of the step when they learn the why and wherefore relating to the matter. We trust, then, that tho State, if she persists in putting these lauds upon the block at this trying junc ture, will hiit them in and halt/ than as security for the taxes in arrears, un til such time as the owners may pay off all encumbrances, and redeem them, with the accruing costs. Of course, some reasonable limit to tho time for this redemption should be I assigned. Just now. to Juror, a sale is ; simply ruinous to all concerned. To show how the eagles are scent ing their prey from afar, one promi- j neat New Turk tirm who were uego-, tinting for the purchase of fifty thou smut acres of timber land, at a given price, as soon as it transpired that three motions of acres of Georgia land were to be knocked off summarily at I auction, upon a very short notice, im mediately ilissulced the agreement, and declared that they preferred to, enter the market as buyers when theso lauds were certain of securing bettor bargains. Comment is unnec essary, |t|Mm Hits Picture, and Then l |> >ii Th nt." Messrs. Editors: I saw, a few days ago, an account of sales of two bales ot cotton made by Mr. W. W. Khodes, Superintendent of the Grange Ware house in Augusta, which, for tho re markable charges. 1 simply wish to call the attention of the planting l public. Tho two bales alluded to belonged! to a lady in this county, and weighed j at her gin-house by Fairbanks’stand ard, 4G5 lbs. and 479 lbs. They were shipped on Friday, sold on tlio fol lowing Monday, one at 15j and the other at 16 cents per pound, and did i not fall short one pound. Strange ami unaccountable! it no- i tuully held out! Not an ounce taken off! ‘ But the strangest thing of all is,' that the freight, drayage, storage amt commissions on the two hales arnonnt- i od to only three dollars amt serenty fonr cents.. Now, look upon the other picture: I immediately turned to accounts of; sales made in Savannah and Angus- i ta, and found this result, viz: that the charges on one bale of cotton sold about tlie same time in Savan-j null was four dollars and ninety-two cents, a difference in favor of Rhodes and the Patrons’ Warehouse of three : dollars and fifty-five cents i5;1.55) per! bale. And mark von, the Savannah bill ' experienced a loss of fifteen pounds i/i transitu, 'according to llie same | Fairbanks’ scales. Augusta I 'mtsli tntionalist. • • Federal AHMimplioiioi (h“ Wuli Itobi*. Tli© State debt assumption project being now certain to come before tlm next Gcmoordtio House of Represent atives at Washington, the Boston Journal compiles n table showing that the Southern States have debts amounting to $214,775,000. The North ern States set, down as Republican and opposed to the assumption of t lie debts have in the aggregate debts only amounting to $58,000,461, and the Republican States that are ex pooted to vote for the assumption of the debts have in the aggregate an Indebtedness of #48,089.000. The largest debt in the list is that of Vir ginia, #44,000,000; North Carolina next with #36.000,000; then Louisiana, #29,376,010: then New York, #23,887,- 270. But these were small sums corn ■ part-d with the debt of New York city, #119,000,600. Fuou statistics recently published, I concerning the mortality ot the race- j es in many sections of the South, itj would appear that the question of the eonluct of races bids fair to be settled iuu way which will have lit tle to do with either human ingenuity or statemanship. in South Carolina, for example, the deaths among tiic whites have been one in thirty-three, and among the blacks one iti sixteen, while among the blacks there have been six still-born children to one among the whites. The death rate among children under live years of i age hiis been only half as great in the white ranks as in the black, ami so, if 1 this condition of things isany criterion ; the color line throughout the South promises to dissolve by gradual stages before the encroaching march of death. AeedKDtKo to a Washington female j correspondent, an uglv woman is a mistake of Nature. The Washing ton correspondent knows what she is talking about, but we ought not to tie too hard on Nature. The mistakes that pretty women are certain to make, even hi those isolated eases where they have been blessed with brains, are apt,to lead the best friends of the sex to think that, after all, it may be just as well to leave the hulk of the blundering to Nature. ♦ With a few more sueli decisions as t hat of the Federal judge, that, under tin-Civil Rights bill, the negro has [no rights in hotels and places of [amusement, and that of Butler, that be has none in drinking saloons and barber-shops, our “colored citizens will come to suspect that, they haven't even the ghost of a right in the mid dle or atenoere lot. -Caunur-Jour t i'il. ______ At 50c.
