THI EFFECTS OF THE CONFISCATION
ACTS.-It has been decided by the Su
preme Court of Appeals of Virginia that
an executor who paid over to the Confed
erate authorities, under the confiscation
acts of that government, a legacy left by
a Northern teetator cannot now be com
pelled to pay the amount of the legacy to
the legatee. The court says of the execu
tor, that " he wisely declined the contest
. with a government which the whole naval
?and n?ht?ry power of the United States 1
could not subdue under four years, and |J
having yielded to the duress of a de facto
government, is absolved from being held
? responsible for the legacy which it was

Expunge the Record*
The New York Herald seconds the mo- .
tion of Senator Sumner to strike from the
United States flags and' the Army Regis
ter all records of battles fought with fel
low citizens. The editor asks :
" Why should American citizens wish j
to perpetuate the emblen? and records of .
our national misfortune? " Why keep alive j
tbe hatred that was engendered by the \
civil war when the combatants are and
must continue to be one people? To do
so would be unchristian-like, ungenerous 1
and highly impolitic. It would serve no
good purpose whatever, and would only
gratify sectional and personal vanity at
the sacrifice of nobler and better senti
ments. Every celebration of victories in
our civil war, by emblems on the flags,
by combinations or associations of the
victors, by parades, gatherings or public
dinners, or in any other way, is wrong.
Mr. Sumner's bill ought to be passed
unanimously by CongresS, ? and at once."
Mr. Sumner "may be sincere in his tie
sire to obliterate "the emblems and re
cords of our national misfortune" and re
store the sentiments of amity and frater
nity which Once dwelt in the hearts of tho
American people, and which constituted
the all-pervading, vitalizing source of
their greatness, prosperity and happiness.
But to effectually accomplish his object
he must go farther back and deeper down
.than to the battle flags of th? fate civil
war. He must go back and down to the
causes which led to that fratricidal strife
-to the false doctrines^, the violated faith
and sectional prejudices that engendered
it. Let him unteach the political errors
and higher-law heresies which he and his
colleagues, in the forum, the pulpit and
the press, labored a quarter of a. century
to instill into the minds of their people
. let him and them cease to assume the vice
I gerency of heaven on earth, and leave
j others, under their convictions of right, to
I work out their own salvation-and no one
will object to the inscriptions on the bat
tle flags of the war, no one of which need
cause a Southern cheek to blush. They
\ tell of bloody strife between overwhelm
ing might and conscious right, of a heroic
bot unsuccessful defence of the priuciples
of constitutional liberty, but they reflect
no honor upon the victors that is not
equally shared by the vanquished. Let
" the emblems and records of our national
misfortune" remain. They teach a lesson
by which generations to- come may profit.
Let the faithlessness; the usurpation, the
wrongs and outrages which caused the
bloody conflict which they commemorate
be obliterated by the restoration of a vio
lated Constitution, with the sacred rights
and liberties of the people of the States
which it was framed to preserve and per
petuate. Through such atonement true
statesminship will seek oblivion of the
past and concord in the future.-Savan

A Terrible Tragedy at Tlmmousville.
We get the following particulars of a
fearful tragedy from the last issue of the
Florence Pioneer, the new weekly paper,
publication of, which has just been start
ed at Florence, S. C. The Pioneer of the
25th says :
Yesterday afternoon Timmonsville was
the scene of one of those terrible trage
dies, which until very recently, scarcely
ever stained the pages of our public jour
nals. W"! were near the scene at the time
it occurred, but not being acquainted with
the parties we were furnished the follow
ing particulars by a friend.
One Wm. Oliver, together with Hiram
Oliver, Malcom TimmonB and others, were
drinking in a bar-room, and creating a
disturbance, when Marshal Powers, as
sisted by two colored Marshals, attempted
to arrest them. Meeting with resistance,
Marshal P. fired two shots at Wm. Oliver,
both taking effect in the left breast, one
immediately above the other. He, (Pow
ers,) then fired upon Hiram Oliver, the
? balls taking effect in one knee and below,
the knee joint of the other. About this
I time Wm. Oliver tamed upon Marshal
Powers and fired at him with a large navy
pistol, the ball taking effect in the upper
part of Marshal Powers' thigh, breaking
it into shivers.^ Powers fell to the
ground, when Wm. Oliver fired again
breaking his hand. Malcom Timmons
...as severely shot in the mouth. Dr.
Culpepper ie attending Marshal Powers,
and Dr. Wright Oliver the others. It is
thought that Powers cannot live. Wm.
Oliver has been arrested, and will proba-.
I Wy be retained to await the development
I of the case, and the termination of the
Marshal's wounds. Thc trial was pro
gressing when we left, 4 P. M., but the
decision hand not been reached.
Timmonsville is a thrifty little town,
but they make too free use of whiskey
and gunpowder.

A Movement in Congress to Regulate
Railroad Charges.
Pit-solutions offered by .Air. Stewart, of
Nevada, in the Senate, with regard to
regulating rat CK of fare and transportation
on railroads between the States, and in
structing the Committee on the Judiciary
to inquire jnto authority of Congress on
the :-ubject, have been adopted and referred
to the committee. It is under the
provision of the Constitution which au
thorizes Congress to regulate commerce
among the several States that these r?so
lutions were otl?red. I i? to le hoped the
Judiciary Committee will thoroughly in
vestigate this matter and propose the leg
islation needed. The railroads have grown
to be stupendous monopolies, and tax the
people of the whole country and of all
classes more heavily than the Federal
Government can venture to tax them. A
railroad that costs twenty millions inflates
its stock to ibrty, fifty or sixty millions,
and then demauds fares from the traveling
public and rates of freight from our farm
ers and merchants to pay interest on the
inflated or watered stock. This is a more
burdensome and iniquitous tax 'han the
Government imposes, and goes far to re
tard the development anil business of the
country. The railrouds, like the great
rivers, are the arteries of commerce among
States, and Congre?) has, ho doubt, th?
power lo regulate their charges. We
know of no more important and necessary
measure than this of Mr. Stewart, which
has been referred to the Conj mitten on the
Judiciary, and we hope that Congress will
act upon it at aa early day.
Ku Kluxism lu New York.
The Northern Eadical papers make a
great bluster about lawlessness at- the
South and record long Munchausen ac
counts of Ku Klux outrages in various
Southern States, but when a mob north
of Mason and Dixon's line at empts to
take the law into their own hands and
hang some poor wretch without the form
of atrial, the matter is passed over as a
very trivial affair. " An instance in point
occurred a few days since in New York
city. John E. Simmons, thc lottery dealer,
who killed his former partner, Nicholas
W. Duryea, in that; city last week, had
been placed in the Park Hospital for
medical treat" ot, his ankle having been
badly sprained in the rencontre) between
himself and Duryea. On Tuesday last
the police received information that Du
ryea s friends had formed a vigilance com
mittee to seize the person of the murderer
and execute him. Simmons was, there
fore, secretly removed to a place of greater
safety. The New fork l?me?, Radical
organ, in noticing the occurrence Bimply
says : " The fact that such an attempt was
contemplated shows the strong feeling
which this peculiarly brutal murder has
excited."
In the South "such an attempt" would
have been "a gross Ku Klux outrage."

A Good Example.
The Survivors' Association of Kershaw
bas founded a Scholarship ia the - Con
federate Home, in Charleston, for the.
benefit of a daughter of some deceased
Confederate soldier, needing assistance
to complete her education. This schol
arship covers the expense of board, uni
form and tuition. Of course the young
lady must be of Kershaw County. Ap-,
plications are invited to be sent in imme
diately to Dr. A. A. Moore, Chairman of
Committee.
So noble an example deserves imme
diate imitation by every County iirtlie
State. ' Thirty-two, daughters of Confed
erate soldiers, at school every year, at
the expense of the Survivors' Associa
tion, would be a living, breathing, lov
ing monument to our sacred dead ; and
would make tho Association itself hon
ored and revered Ihroughont all. genera
tions. What says Edgefield-with her
glorious war record, nd her present
abundance of means ? >
A Comfortable Prospect for " Honest
Johii?
The press, as it should do, is calling
loudly upon the U. S. Senate to run over
Senator Patterson's gamut before they
allow him to take a seat in .so well-tun
ed a bod}'. But we predict that nothing
of the sort will take place. United States
Senators, in these days, dare not look too
closely into the alleged corruptions of a
colleague. It is recorded that tho two
Senators from Kansas were, last winter,
charged with having secured their eleo
tion by bribery, and that a committee
was appointed to look into the charges.
And to facilitate their examination, this
committee was authorized to sit during
the recess ?nd take testimony in Kansas.
Senator Morton was tho chairman of the
committee. And only a few days back
he made the pretty report that he had
been unable to get the committee togeth
er--that only one Senator had answered
his summons.
As a contemporary well remarks, had
it been a poor Ku Klux that was arraign
ed, the whole power of the Government
would haye been at command for his
trial and conviction.
President Grant's Salary.
There is a movement in Congress to
increase the President's salary from
$25,000 to $50,000. The N. Y. " World, in
considering this question, adduces the
following list of items from last year's
official estimate of the President's house
hold expenses:
Furnace-keeper at the President's
house, $720
Two policemen at the President's
house, $2,640
Doorkeeper at the President's
house, ' 720
Annual repairs at the President's
house, 10,000
Refurnishing the President's
house, ? 10,000
Fuel for the President's house, 5,000
Greenhouse and plants, 3,000
Care and improvement nf grounds
at tho President's house, 5,000
Total -' ' ,$3S,2S0
So that the President's real salary and
allowance to do hospitality with, to say
nothing of house-rent and numberless
"sundries," amounts not to $25,000 only,
but to $63.2Sii. This would certainly
seem to be enough, but we suppose it
will be increased soon to ?8S.000-or a
round hundred, more likely.
Pay Cpl
Tho State ami county tax of fifteen
mills, for the fiscal year eudiug October
31, 1873, is payable before January 15
next, after which day delinquent? will
become liable to a penalty oi twenty per
cent, which penalty will be rigidly en
forced. If any tiling were to be gained
by delay, and if any hau ging back would
give the taxpayers any additional secu
rity that the public revenue would bo
faithfully appropriated to the purposes
for which it is levied, Tii>; NKWS might
advise the people to withhold the taxes
for a timo, ur altogether. Dut such a
course would be foolish m the extreme.
The rate of taxation is enormously high.
It is, however, somewhat less than the
people had reason to expect, and thc
payment ol' the tax will go mr to en
courage friendly relations with "the gov
ernment, by proving that there is no
disposition to engagein factiousoposilion
to tho administration. This is something
gained. It should be distinctly under
stood, nevertheless, that tho people pay
tliis tax as tiie only tax which Ss to be
levied upon them during the year. That
is the understanding, > nd the speculators
in Columbia need not. imagine tliat.be
millions are to be paid into the treasury
in fifteen or twenty days, millions more I
can be bad for tho asking. So far and
no farther, is tho temper of the people .
Charleston News.
And as to the temper of the people in
Charleston, about additional taxes for
the present year, so it is Edgefield. Our
people are going to pay the taxes now
levied, but in doing so they feel that the
ultimatum has been rcajthud, and they
vow that not another mill will they pay
this 3'oar unless forced by tho bayonet.
Fifteen mills is all they will stand-more
than many a poor widow can pay with
out robbing her little ones of their very
bread-and it will not bs healthy for any
man to attempt the collection ol' any ad
ditional taxes unless backed by U. S.
bayonets. "So Jar and no farther, is the
temper of'the people" of Edgclield.
Succinctly Stated.
The New York Herald does not exag
gerate the matter when it declares that
"such corruption and anarchy as exist
now in tho South are not only injurious
to that section, not only check its prog
ress and material interests, and there
fore, prove damaging to thu business in
terests of the North, but they an; in fcc
tious, and must, in tiie ond, demoralize
the whole republic. Il is, in fact, a lon?.
step toward centralization, despotism
and military rule. It is the way lu which
all nations have marched, the liberties
and institutions of which have boen
subverted or overturned.

to ask at the hands of the Government
calm and impartial examination of tl
recent extraordinary events within th(
borders, and who were coldly refused

from Washington, a lengthy address

address is a hold and sterling pap?
representing in the strongest and clen
est manner the unsettled and distract
condition of Louisiana, and still cl
manding to bo heard by the Preside!
the Administration, and tho people, ' b
fore the subversion of their State Go
ernment by Federal intervention is cor
plete and irremediable. . And the peop
will read this address and be struck wi
its force and truth. Louisiana is at pre
ent politically convulsed and comme
dally paralyzed. Commercial men
the North are beginning to lose mom
. by Mr. Grant's little partisan whim
And this is one thing they will n
stand. Grant's pet, tho acting Govern
of Louisiana, a young mulatto nam?
Pinchback, maf be a very useful ar
interesting fellow to his master, but tl
powerful business men of the North wi
not ba apt to soe it in this light. Pres

each State shall bc lodged with the Go\

. In Memoriam.
DIKP, on the 2nd of Doo 1872, at tho
residence of her husband, near Ninety
SLx, S. C., Mrs. MARY L. HILL, wife
of. Lon HILL, Esq.. and daughter of
NATI LAN L. GRIFFIN, Esq., deceased.
A true Christinn has passed from earth
to Heaven. Sho embraced the religion
of Jesus, and was baptized in ISM, when
but12 years o?d. For :5:l 3'ears she re
mained* a fUithful member'of the B:rptist
Church, illustrating in nor public and
private walk the virtues and graces that
should adorn the Christian woman. '
During the last eight year? of hor life,
she was afflicted/with Cancerof the breast.
She bore her privations and intense suf
Teringa wit?h signal fortitude and patience.
Standing for a long time on tho very
border of the grave, she had ample op
portunity to test her trust in the Re
deemer of sinners. How sweet and
precious was this trust, amid the trials
of {hat long, sad ministers of .sickness
and pain !
Apparently recovered from the Cancer,
she was flattered with the prospect of
a long,and happy life. Her frionas were
shocked at the unexpected tidings of her
death from pneumonia, after an illness
of ten daj's.
Shehrts finished her course, "fought
the good fight," and. now rests in peace.
Her youthful pioty and life time fidelity
to J?sus, her moral courage mid patient
endurance, her amiable spirit and contle
demeanor are worthy ol record and imi
tation. The light o? her homo, thc joy
and comfort of her family circle, she
will be tenderly remembered by those
who knew and loved her best.
"The writer of these lines would pay
this humble tribute to departed \vortli.
Farewell, dear friend nnd sister. We
must feel and weep at our. loss, but our
hearts are solaced with the hope of a
happy re-union in " the better land,"
the home of undimmed and undying
felicity. A FRIEND.
ELLA OZENE, only child of Mr.
JASPER and Mrs. MARY A. CLARK, died
near Sister .Springs on Monday 11th
November, aged three years, five months
and eighteen days..
Death is at all times sad, but it be
comes doubly so when we record tho
loss of thc young and lovely. This
beautiful child was tho idol of her de
voted parents ; and so completely was
every thought absorbed in her, that they
seemed to forget tho "Bud of promise is
only ours in anticipation."
Dear little Ella ! She never had a wish
ungratified. Long will her sweet en
gaging ways and precious words be re
membered; but weep not, lonely parents;
your little ono has gone trustingly and
fearlessly into the presence of tho Great
Redeemer, who hath said " Suffer little
children to come unto me,-for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven."
" Ere sin could blight or sorrow ft.de,
Death carno with friondlj- caro,
The opening bud to Heaven conveved,
And bade It blossom there"
